Galaxy S6 :: Can Call Using WiFi
Aug 25, 2015
I have a new Galaxy S6, using it with MetroPCS service that works over the T-Mobile network. I took my GS6 to Canada and connected to a motel wifi. I was able to get/send e-mails, use Facebook, etc. - but when I tried to make a phone call it would not work....kept telling me I did not have an account there. I could not figure out how to direct it to make the call over the wifi network....no switch showed up to let me try that option. (My son's iPhone 6 has a switch letting him select how the call is made...over the cell tower or by WiFi). How do I get that capability to work, or does this phone not have that feature??

Having issues after the update? Phone freezes during a call. Does the phone tell you that you are on a WiFi call?

I've had my shiny Galaxy S6 for nearly three weeks now. I bought it SIM free. Really loving the phone, but I've noticed that when I try to answer a call, the phone hangs-up instead. I have good signal and I can ring the person back immediately. At first I thought I was hanging up with my cheek, but it happened when I was in slow traffic in my car yesterday. The phone was sat in a mount, connected to Bluetooth. I used the car's controls to answer and had the same issue.
I've spoken to people who call me, and they say the call just ends with a beep, it doesn't go to voice mail. I've tested calling my S6 from another mobile and a land line and the problem happens every time.
If I tap reject, the call is sent to voice mail, so I'm not pressing the wrong button.
I've tried:
-Enabling/disabling single tap mode
-Enabling home key to answer calls
-Wiping the phone's cache partition using the Android system recovery menu
-Using a Bluetooth headset to answer calls
-Uninstalling Three InTouch, my network's Wi-Fi call app (I can answer calls if they come through this app)
I'm in the UK. Phone is SM-G920F ZKABTU, baseband G920FXXU1AOE3, CSC version G920FBTU1AODQ. I haven't rooted it.

I was on a call. My call waiting function told me that another call was coming in, but it also ended my first call. How do I continue my first call when I receive notification of another call with call waiting?

While on a call, phone automatically adds same contact in as a second call - the "MERGE CALLS" box opens above keypad. At no time did I do this myself, but perhaps proximity sensor not working and something with the call on my face does it itself. Once this happens, I cannot go back to my first call. Merging calls doesn' t allow me to talk to the first call either. There is no button to UNMERGE the two calls to return to the first. My only option is to end the second call, which ends both.

I just received my new N8 phone 2 days ago and have spent all day and most of the nights learning about it. I come from a T-Mobile prepaid flipphone with their sim card and live in the USA. One of the reasons I bought it was that some reviews said you could make free calls over your home wifi network.Does anyone know how to setup this up and explain it to me since I am very new?

My Galaxy S II has the annoying habit of having its screen go into idle or sleep mode and then blacken when I'm on a call. I want to have the "Phone" screen showing up at all times when I'm on a call, so I can access the speakerphone, etc. Is there a way to "lock" the screen in "Phone" mode when I'm on a call?

I've long wanted to switch to the Iphone but I sometimes need to go to some locations where AT&T nor verizon nor sprint have cell signals and the only way to make a call is by tethering to the wifi connection. This is possible with my tmobile phone but havent succeeded when trying to use an iphone. Is there a way to make this work?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.1), 2.7Ghz intel core i7 8gb ram

My wife and I both have iPhone 6's. Her is on Verizon, mine is on AT&T. When connected to the same Wi-Fi, call either phone and both will ring. Our college aged children both have neither of those ring. All 4 of us use the same iTunes account. No call forwarding on any of the phones. Disconnect from Wi-Fi phones work as expected.how to stayed connected to Wi-Fi and not have both phones ring.

I am just curious if iPhone is going to have the capability of using data during a phone call while not connected to wifi. For example I am a soldier and do not have wifi access while at work. But am on the phone a lot and quite frequently need to use the internet during a phone call. This is standard in all other smartphones. So when is Apple going to make this available to iPhone users.

Is it just me or does WiFi turn off when you get an incoming phone call? When I am at home, I am hooked up to wifi. When I get a call on my N5, I can see the wifi disconnect, it connects to LTE, then the phone rings. When I hang up, WiFi will reconnect.

I'm having a problem when I enable wifi, the phone switches to 4G (in the status bar) and has 1 bar, but then I cannot make or receive calls. If I disable wifi for data, then the phone switches to 'E' (in the status bar) and has 4 bars. I can then make and receive calls.

I am going to Europe for 2 weeks in about a week. I have no reason to need to call/text/use 3g on vacation at all. However, it would be nice to be able to use wifi at hotels, hotspots, etc. Is it possible to just flip my sim card so I couldn't receive any calls or anything but the phone be able to use wifi and not cost me any money?

My husband is in France with his brand new iPhone 4s (Verizon) and cannot make a call or receive one. The wi-fi works so he can use email but no voice. Verizon says his sim is activated for global but so far ha been of no use.

So whenever I use hangouts to place a call (to a conference line for example) 3g/4g work fantastically, better than a cellular call. However if I am on wifi the hangouts call audio is constantly speeding up and slowing down, and people complain they cant hear me.

I recently got a Galaxy S6 and noticed that when I swipe to call the phone does nothing on the first try (except for showing the green bar with the words "call"). Sometimes it opens the calling screen for a millisecond but then reverts back to contacts. On the second try however it does connect the call. The same happens when I'm in the phone dialer. I'll type in the number, press dial and then it just goes back to the dial screen as if I didn't type in anything. After typing in the number and pressing dial a second time does the phone actually call the number.
It also sometimes happen that the phone will call (showing calling), but the call never connects. After ending the call and redialing does the call go through and connect.

I've got an S5 (Verizon) with Lollipop, but this issue has been going on, at least a little, since 4.4. When I try to place a call, the little phone icon in the notification bar pops up for an instant and then goes away, and it never goes to the call screen. It usually just takes 2 tries but, especially when clicking on a favorite to call, it can take 3 or 4.
This is pretty irritating when I'm dialing a number, because once I try to call it, the number disappears and it doesn't appear in the recent call log, so I've got to punch it in again. I tried using a 3rd party phone app but it didn't make much of any difference.

So i just got my new Verizon GS6 and was noticing that when making a phone call, my 4G is not on. 4G comes back on after a call. Why is this? Solutions? I am not used to this since my past android devices never did this.
