I haven't placed a call to or received a call from an HD ready device, but I will say WiFi calling is quite a bit clearer than regular voice calls.

I have noticed the same thing as well, the quality is very good when using wifi calling.

Well, I finally purchased the M8 HK edition. My previous M7 took a swim and did not make it. So far, I love the M8!!!!

Sounds like it's picking up Band 41 where the N5 can't because it hasn't had it's Spark update, and probably doesn't know about enabling bands manually.

I am not rooted and the Reset Mobile Connection works fine without WiFi Calling enabled.

Then it's likely an issue of the radios being disabled/unavailable while Wi-Fi calling is on, and SCP doesn't know what to do.

Not sure if I fully trust Wi-Fi calling for casual use. I had my fiance call me while I was on Wi-Fi calling, and she was on cellular. My phone rang, and I answered, but it just kept ringing on her end. I'll probably only use it for emergencies.

So far it's been flawless for me.

I'm hoping that my experience with Wifi calling improves, as AT&T will be out tomorrow to investigate my DSL line. I hope they find a splice or something in the line and replace the entire run between me and the pole, I think the trouble with my extreme data use lies in that, but I've noticed that quality of wifi calling is sometimes great...but sometimes it is lacking.

 

If they would install an IP DSLAM instead of ATM, I would see a world of change..but I don't know if that will happen ...ever.

 

I've dropped back to my Airave until I see what happens tomorrow. I wish all my phones in my house were wifi calling, but I have an HTC One ...the last 1 of the 4 at my house at aren't capable. My LG G3 has it, SGS5 that my wife has, SGS5 my daughter has.  So I'm hanging onto the Airave for the HTC One, the rest "could" technically use wifi calling. I am curious how wifi calling on the same network holds up with more than one phone using it at the same time...

I'd also like to see if there are some bandwidth requirements for wifi calling, because if it does handle HD voice then it would be higher than, say, Vonage VOIP..which doesn't require but about 90mbps upload speeds to keep quality decent.

No issues here either, see if you can duplicate the issue further and let us know.

90mbps or 90kbps?

Getting an authentication error when trying to connect to Wi-Fi calling... whenever I push the error message it "successfully" activates again via self service then reboots, but I still get the error.

So I officially think HTC might be the most bugged when it comes to SCP readouts. I just got some read outs of a downlink frequency of 2002.5. Everything on SCP changed. I couldn't get the Screenshot in time though. But that and It shows Rogue EVDO signal(phone signal bars show it too) and As soon as a data session tries to start it immediately goes away.

Mine only does that occasionally when switching between bands.

Well I was rooted, un-rooted for the OTA, and sent stock recovery, Downloaded the OTA, it goes to install, now I am stuck on the Boot screen , and No combo I have tried will get me in the Bootloader screen....This crap is why I got rid of my HTC one m7

 

 

NVM I just got it too. It was being stubborn. Looks Like the Reinstall of the old recovery Went wrong when reverting to stock, and caused the issue.

Going to hold off on trying wifi calling at home after reading the 911 disclaimers. Next time I am on a wifi system that is not mine own I will give it a try.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
