It's easy to turn on and off depending on the area you're in. It's a simple toggle on the pull down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anSarakhJackie Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I installed the Call Plus on my Gal S8+ early last week and found within a few days that my battery just didn't last even a half day! I've been used to it lasting the full day with moderate use and almost two days with low use. So, given that I had battery issues back with my Note 4 when I kept the WiFi on all the time, I turned off the WiFi portion of Call Plus and suddenly I've got more out of my battery. Makes sense. But still being frustrated by not having a full day of usage yesterday I've turned off that feature entirely. I like the idea, but am unwilling to take the hit too my usage. The calls were clear, but certainly not worth the hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it's not possible that you could be having problems, but also consider that it could be something else as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anSarakhJackie Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 burnout8488- Probably about 30 minutes a day. I mostly text and web browse with it. Galaxyguy- I didn't add any other apps at that same time... Of course, Samsung has installed a number of apps around then and in the last week that I have no use for- I'll watch to see if indeed my battery rebounds or continues to suck.

anSarakhJackie Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Galaxyguy- Ok, it's now 12 hours since I fully charged my phone. It shows 74% full-- I have been texting on sms and Messenger all day, but with lighter than usual web access. But still, that is pretty darn good compared to my Note 4 and more than twice as good as when I was on Call Plus. I know, I know. Too small a sample size- that will come with time. But decent anecdotal information for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAngel Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Hmm makes sense kinda, I've noticed my battery has tanked a lot myself. Probably going to disable it and see if it makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Sometime in the last couple of days Calling Plus was added to the G6. Noticed the icon today, had an update on Friday I think, that must've been when they made the change. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not that hard to use the mobile site... I don't get the reliance on Tapatalk. Yeah it's nice to have... but the forum existed without it before. Hopefully the next update can fix the compatibility issue. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tapatalk is working again....I don't use computers very often and just use mobile or tapatalk. Check about once a week with mobile browser but everyday with tapatalk and Tapatalk notifications.Calling plus worked great with my limited tests before I sold my g6. Highly recommend to test it out.....Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handyman Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Tested CP(beta) on an S8. IMHO works better than expected. Only really tested the receiving end (was listening to the movie hotline while driving out in the country, where LTE is marginal), so not sure if the opposite party would have heard me as well as I heard them. What is a bit iffy is the WiFi Calling handover where I tested it. Seems that the building you are in and connected to WiFi must have pretty good overlap of LTE and WiFi. So, if inside your building, LTE is weak or nonexistant, it won't usually handover in either direction. But, I was able to coax some handovers by finding areas with good overlap. Will run a test at home, where I have a -38db LTE signal from tower in my backyard. Vs. Verizon Advanced Calling 2.0 I would say that VZW will drop an VoLTE call very quickly, but Sprint will tolerate more LTE signal gap before dropping. At one point, I heard a CP call hang on through about 5 seconds of silence in a weak signal area, then it came back just fine. VZW will drop in that situation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an interesting experience given that Verizon's VoLTE is prioritized on QoS and the handsets will hold LTE for the phone call than it would for a normal data session... curious as to why this happens to you, and how Sprint has better signal than Verizon there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grod46 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Just wanted to post this Reddit post here, All day yesterday and still working so far this morning, all of my calls, not just WiFi calls to LTE were done over LTE, and I was able to use data just fine on my iPhone 7 Plus unlocked running 11.2 beta and Carrier update 30.5.2 Quote I just checked in the About settings in iOS and made sure to forget all known WiFi networks in range, it now shows IMS Status as Voice and SMS and all calls now go over LTE, Heres a video I uploaded to youtube, You can't hear the call audio in the recording but it connected just fine and I heard it on my end, can already say that the call audio is SO MUCH CLEARER then the CDMA network https://youtu.be/Rcm6nHAM4WQ Edit: To add location im in Fresno, CA 93711, Maybe it's rolling out/Testing in certain markets? 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galaxyguy Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 It would be nice to know Sprint's timeline and how soon they will start to prioritize voice traffic over LTE (true VoLTE), but I'm sure that's a pretty well guarded secret.

bucdenny Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 My call quality has been hit and miss especially on fragile B41. Anything around RSRP -110 or worse, people on the other-side cannot hear me. Sprint will really need to work on handing this off to B25/B26. Is this even possible for it to switch bands when signal is weak on B41? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
