Tmobo Wifi calling died after update - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Anyone else's die after the update today? It used to say Wifi calling on the lock screen for tmobo now it just says T-mobile and my texts are not coming through.
Sigh...... I hope this doesn't happen every update.
***Update - I restarted twice and my wifi- calling came back. Not sure why it took two restarts.

New update - The wifi calling now randomly stops working. It has nothing to do with resetting the phone. Sometimes it'll work sometimes it wont. Needs further testing.

It's been fine for me friend. Make sure your APN settings are still correct

WiFi Calling app issues

So today I sent out a picture message to my wife while my WiFi calling was enabled. (I don't have a good signal at my house so this is the only way I can do this from home without moving around looking for a signal) Every time I tried sending the message I got a "g" pop up on the status bar next to my wifi signal bar. I tried rebooting because it wouldn't send and it still didn't work. I then set it down and ignored it and it finally wend, but maybe about 10 minutes later.
The other issue I just has been happening the last couple of days is the app just shuts down when the screen is sleeping. I set my phone down and come back 20 minutes later and the icon is missing. I go into the app to restart it but is says it's on, but trying to connect and it won't connect until I reboot. Just now I had an error message stating I wasn't connected to the tmobile network and had to sign in (or something like that) I rebooted and everything connected back up.
Anyone else had this happen to??
The whole mms thing is not an issue. it sends mms using your data connection to prevent something but i cant remember what. Take a look at the wifi calling thread i know it was addressed already.

I think your WiFi calling shutdown when the screen went sleep because you may have WiFi set to sleep when the screen shuts off.

Rebooting is all fine and dandy, but then I need to have it reroot itself again. And then to overclock it I have to be at my computer.
After looking at the other thread as the first responder suggested it makes sense that the MMS get sent over data connections, so I guess if I need to send an MMS I need to have a good "cell" signal.
i am having the same problem.
from a fresh boot, wifi calling works. but once I shut the screen off, wifi calling is lost and it will not come back until I reboot again.
i am using CM6.1, and I don't know if this is a problem with CM or just the wifi calling app itself
I have this issue as well, wifi icon will go missing, when you opn the app it says that its on...from what ive been hearing, wifi calling doesnt really work that well anyway.

[Q] Wifi Issue

I looked around and could not find a thread about this.
I have a rooted fascinate with dl30 (froyo). Everything else is running fine.
But with Wifi on, my connection to the internet is fine until I stop using it. I have the wifi setting to never turn off.
But after about 5mins or so of leaving the phone alone my connection to the net seems to be lost. I will get no incoming emails, my connection to gtalk is halted. If I unlock the phone i can not pull up any webpages, gtalk is still disconnected and if i try to send an email it just sits there.
All of this remains that way until I turn wifi off and go to 3G. Then everything works again. If I turn wifi back on right after, everything works fine again and will continue to until I leave the phone alone for 5mins or so.
any thoughts?
If you have a thought but need more info from me feel free to ask.
Am I really the only one with this issue on this forum?
i just started getting this issue today.... i hope there is something that can be done.
I noticed it happening to me also. Very random though, only happens about once a day or less.
Same here.

Did it happen on 2.1? I am partly concerned because I ebayed the phone with 2.1 about 2 weeks ago. rooted, then installed froyo, so I didn't really get to see if it happened on 2.1, or if this is part of froyo. Was also concerned because a friend of mine, Nuance, also did the same thing, and came over to my house and had no wifi issues.

Phone sometimes disconnects when using WIFI

hi, sometimes when i look at my phone, usually after being on wifi the phone shows no bars.
sometimes it comes back on in a min, i tried airplane mode but it wouldnt work. so i restarted it and worked fine.
not sure why it happens, does anyone else have this? could it be due to some Wifi calling setting? not sure why phone seems to just cut off.
anyone have any idea why this may be happening?
does it turn off radio for wifi calling somehow or? just random.
I have a similar issue, but not equal. Sometimes, when I try to connect to the network I always do (home), it simply doesn't work. Scanning - disconnected - scanning - disconnect. Only a phone reset fixes this.
Sheep ROM 2.0
AbyssNote Kernel 2.5
I had a similar issue a while ago and sent Mine back to the seller but the seller claimed neither they nor Samsung could find a problem with the phone. Thankfully The seller sent me a replacement which no longer gives me this problem so it may be the handset, though it could also be the setting/Conflicting app. Someone reported here his problem Was solved after adjusting a w ifi regulating app
i have a 3-day old gnote and i started noticing this problem after i have my phone rooted. the wifi icon stays on but there's no internet connection. turning the screen off and waking the phone after a minute solves the problem but its annoying to be losing connection when you're needing it. i'm on stock KKA.

Not a user error so need to contact Samsung-don't think is anyway
I have a somewhat similar problem. When I am using wifi for somewhat long time, I am unable to connect back to my 3g. Or if I was on 3g connection and I move out of coverage area for a little more than 10 minutes, I can't reconnect to 3g. Only 3g connection has this problem though, everything else works fine.
If I restart the phone, I can reconnect. Setting to airplane mode and resetting doesn't help. Neither does resetting the mobile network operators.
Yes, the problem seems to be software related since there is no actual problem with receiving 3g/phone.
yesterday i drove back 10 hrs and streamed music/radio the entire way with only a few tiny interruptions in reception.
but often still if i just take my phone out of my pocket, the "phone" part will be off and usually turn back on within 1-2 mins.
but this is quite annoying since sometimes il literally be waiting for 1-2 mins to place a call.
my phone is "not" rooted.

Does anyone else's S7 edge do this?

The 4G LTE icon keeps flashing on and off when on wifi. This starts occurring after an indeterminate period of time and will not stop until I restart the phone. Once restarted, it stops for a while and then starts again. Kinda annoying. Video below. I am pressing down on the screen with my finger only to keep the screen from going off and for no other reason.
Mine and my girlfriend's both do this. Annoying and I don't know why.

Seems like they have some serious WiFi issues to sort out on this phone. Seems to be affecting people's ability to connect to bluetooth as well. Hope ATT greenlights the patch quickly when it becomes available.
Try taking off the smart switch for wifi/mobile data

Mine does this when it's looking for a GPS signal, it's a part of location tracking, when it looks for a location, it uses GPS, Network info , Wifi info, etc. perhaps thats why, turn off Location services and see if it stops just to test it out.
I chatted with a Samsung rep and he told me to wipe the cache partition in recovery. I did that and the problem has not reappeared in a few days. I also had an update pushed just now, so maybe that will further fix the issue.

WiFi Turning Itself On/Off

When i wake my phone I see a message briefly at the bottom: Wifi Disconnected. The problem is, my wifi isn't on. What is causing it? GPS?
Do you have Pokémon go on your phone? If that game is even in the background it does whatever it wants with my wifi and Bluetooth.
No Pokemon. No games at all.

New update fixed wifi problem!!
New update fixed the problem!!... so far.
I was having the same problems as everyone else. The wifi on my S7 would turn itself on and off every few minutes. None of the posted fixes worked for me. I checked for a system update yesterday, but there wasn't one. So today, I was going to contact Samsung tech support, because they're usually pretty good at having simple fixes for problems. Just before I was going to contact them, I decided to check again to see if there was a system update, and sure enough, there was. So I updated about an hour ago. I've been successfully using wifi on my phone for 30 minutes, without any interruption. So far, it seems the update has fixed the problem. I hope this helps everyone else.
