Hi, I would like to use Wifi calling on my Fairphone 2. My network (O2) supports it and i’ve found the setting on my fairphone (by searching ‘calling’) but when I turn on the setting it turns it self off again. Am I doing something wrong? Kind regards Adam

If using the search function with “wifi calling” you will find several topics about this feature. Up to now I haven´t heard (read) of someone who got this feature to work with his FP2 in the way it is intended.

This was entered in the bugtracker earlier, Fairphone apparently rejected the bug and responded “Unfortunately, VoWiFI is not supported on the FP2.” [image] de Wifi Calling als Vodafone - Kunde möglich? Fairphone 2 Meinen Bugreport hat Fairphone heute leider zurückgewies…

That’s a shame I have terrible reception in my home area and my operator enables the feature :frowning: Hopefully it is fixed soon.

I do have the impression operators change their policies and migrate from voice channels to data channels. It looks like more and more operators (even “cheap” resellers) activate VoWifi and WoLTE. maybe one can convince FairPhone to implement the necessary base functions, if necessary (if neither FP…

@AnotherElk Having a more detailed reason for this would be appreciated. Is it not wanted by FP or impossible due to dependencies of Google, what´s the reason? Hopefully FP will respond on this once more. If it was FP dependent only, maybe it´s coming with Android 7. That would be very much liked…

[image] Patrick1: impossible due to dependencies of Google In this case, I woud guess it’s more an issue of the chipset, missing proprietary drivers or maybe just a licensing issue with Qualcomm. Just wild guessing, though.

[image] AnotherElk: Over here @ChuckMorris hinted at the Snapdragon 801 powered Samsung Galaxy S5 supporting this feature, and a quick search backs this up with this claiming you could just toggle it on with a Galaxy S5. Good point. So if the chipset is capable of wifi calling, that would lea…

Regarding VoLTE, Telefonica (O2) says: So, maybe it’s more a firmware thing? On lineageOs the setting for VoLTE is searchable, but not displayed. With the service menu (dial * # * #4636#* #* no spaces!) the settings for VoLTE/VoWiFi are grayed out Edit: hijacking it a bit in direction VoLTE: rem…

@AnotherElk @BeMiGro Yes I agree partially, as it looks so far: But precisely read into the details, we have: HD Voice over 3G and VoLTE Which is mobile network based, not related to/needing WiFi. We don´t have: Voice over WiFi(VoWiFi) with LTE Were WiFi seems to be a mandatory feature for…
