Hi Fairphone Team and community,
I’m using a Fairphone 6 with Android 15 and a Telekom (Germany) SIM.
Since the update to Android 15, the option to set Wi-Fi Calling priority (e.g. “Wi-Fi preferred” or “Mobile network preferred”) has disappeared from the settings — now there’s only a simple on/off toggle for Wi-Fi Calling.
Because of this, I’m experiencing the following issue:
In rooms with weak mobile coverage (for example, my kitchen), calls often break up or cut out.
It seems the phone keeps switching between LTE and Wi-Fi Calling, even though Wi-Fi Calling is enabled.
If I enable Flight mode + Wi-Fi, calls work perfectly — so the feature itself works fine, but the missing priority setting causes instability.
It would be very helpful if a future Fairphone OS update could bring back an option such as: “Wi-Fi preferred” / “Mobile network preferred” / “Wi-Fi only”
This would greatly improve call stability indoors where mobile reception is poor and help users take full advantage of Wi-Fi Calling.
Thank you for looking into this and for your continued work on Fairphone!
Best regards,
Hello and welcome to the community forum
Please communicate the issue and the request to the support using the official channel, the community forum is not the designated place for such calls.
We are more focused on sharing advice and troubleshooting I would say.
To my knowledge this is solely driven by your provider and I’m suprised to read you had options as I read before that German Telekom removed this a longer time ago, this was also discussed in their forum.
And btw the FP6 was shipped with A15 since the beginning.
Yes I know setting preferences are available for other provider however it isnt for Telekom thats a fact and thats not new, Android 15 or FP6 (and I think not even FP) related.
Well I forwarded a statement from Telekom/Congstar and yes when you check the Telekom Forum I think it mentions it does not work for everyone.
Either way, it is as it is and its because of your provider. You can contact FP support and Telekom support to see if someone is able and willing to change this.
“Wi-Fi preferred” / “Mobile network preferred” / “Wi-Fi only”
