This is working great for me. Been looking for this for a long time. And I use Google Voice for voicemail, so no downside here.

Try using Google Voice for voicemail, been using it for several years now. Works well, and the call transcripts get better and better every year :).
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mattwheat:
See if this fixes your issue with Visual Voicemail not loading on WiFi.....

In your "Developer Options" scroll down and enable "Cellular Data Always Active". Maybe allowing your Pixel to pull data from both will solve your issue. Just a theory. Otherwise for those rooted, try going thru your build.prop and looking for a line that says something about VZW VVM over WiFi = "0" or "1". Depending on the way the build.prop line is worded you may have to change the default property, that being the "1 or the 0", to the opposite property it is by default..... Remember "1"= true. And "0"= false or even try an "sq lite editor" from the play store to edit lots of stuff. Just be careful what you do edit or change. You can really f'up your phone. Again must be rooted to use sqlite editor.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bcantana:
I had some interesting behavior with the Verizon "Wi-Fi Preferred" tweak. I have seen folks post about the Visual Voice mail not working, but mine seemed to be working. I updated to the July Pixel XL security patch yesterday and re-enabled the wfc_ims_mode flag using ADB and then I saw the voicemail issue testing from my home landline.

Fast forward to this morning, I was on a number of Wi-Fi calls so far and have validated that Wi-Fi Preferred is still set. I left the house to run an errand and when I got home I noticed that the signal "triangle" had signal, but I was still on Wi-Fi calling. I tested the voicemail again and it worked perfectly as expected.

It seems that somehow by leaving my Wi-Fi network range (having cellular kick back in) when I got back home, going into Wi-Fi Preferred mode (however it does it behind the scenes) did not disable the cellular.

Try it out and see if it is just a fluke for me. You might be able to simulate it just by powering off your home wifi router for a minute or two and then turn it back on.

I am guessing that next time I power cycle the phone or turn on airplane mode that I would need to leave wifi range and come back to have it work fully again.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rozyman17:
Does anyone know if the battery consumption is greater if you have basically no bars on cell, but have the "wifi prefered" mode set? I am wondering if I should just put my phone into airplane mode anyway since I have no service at my house. I don't want the radio blowing through battery trying to find the cell signal.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MetaOrbit:
Does this work for the regular Pixel or only the Pixel XL? (Contemplating picking up a Pixel so can't check it myself)

Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] abuttino:
As far as I can remember, the harder 4G searches for a signal, it takes quite a big bite out of the battery.

With WiFi Preferred at night (low brightness) I can stay above 95% (from 100%) for almost an hour.

With Cellular Preferred, I was always using a lot more battery at night or in the day.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] abuttino:
I would presume it does. BTW, I have a Pixel XL for $450 if you want to buy it.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] iceman4357:
I have noticed that my battery drains significantly more lately. Don't know if it's due to the WiFi mod or if my battery is just getting weak. Need to turn this mod off and see if it makes a difference.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mac796:
----- ADB INSTRUCTIONS -----

Enable ADB Debugging Mode in Developer options

Plug your phone in.

On your desktop, go to the command prompt and change directory into where you keep ADB.exe

If you have never connected your phone to adb, you'll have to allow it. Type adb shell and you'll notice a pop-up on your phone screen that asks for permission. Click yes and try the adb shell command again.

Then type this

settings put global wfc_ims_mode 2

Press enter.

For pros:

adb shell settings put global wfc_ims_mode 2

Look at your wireless settings (more menu) and you'll see that WiFi Preferred is active

-----------

Don't forget to toggle airplane mode and, it should be set to go. It persisted through a reboot, it will be interesting to see what else it persists through.

This worked great for me. But I ran into a problem. When I turn wifi calling on it kills my data. Does mode 1 put it back to normal?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jasestu:
Over here in Australia, my provider (Telstra) has only enabled WiFi calling on certain models of iPhone and the lastest couple of generations of Samsung. Is there any possibility of a handset side edit I could do on my Google Pixel to work, or is this completely locked down at the carrier end?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matty032:
The only downside to this is if you start a call on Wi-Fi, if you lose the Wi-Fi signal, it drops the call instead of switching to cellular. At least on Verizon.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] GateWayGee:
Yes
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] abuttino:
FYI.. This method still works on Android 8 Oreo. Voice mail works as well.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shawn haz root:
So I am having an issue where as I travel from location to location, WiFi calling will not show under the menu and if I make a call, it goes out cellular. If I reboot, WiFi calling goes back to normal until again I travel. Anyone else having this issue? I might need to wipe the phone, but didn't want to have to resetup everything.

I had this issue on 7.1.1 and just dirty flashed to 8.0 and seeing similar results.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dirtdigginjoe:
So far, I've found it to persist through reboots- but randomly the phone will change it back after some time. I don't see anything that sticks out as to why it would change (No carrier/system updates or anything). Currently running stock rooted 8.0, but also had same experience on stock 7.1.2, as well as PureNexus with ElementalX kernel. Running VZ variant of Pixel XL.

Not the worst thing in the world, but I just have to redo the ADB commands every few weeks.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cntryby429:
I had it revert a few weeks ago and was also unable to identify an obvious cause. Been fine since.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Joppykid:
Hate to necro this thread but after I do the ADB command it works and then reverts back after awhile. This is on an unlocked Pixel 2 on Verizon's network. Anyone else getting this issue on the May Patch?

I'm probably going to have to shell out the 250 bucks for an extender because I basically have 0 service in my house. Pretty crappy because I live in a giant subdivision but im at lower elevation with houses around me and it's blocking my signal.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] abuttino:
What are you doing that it revert back? Turning your phone off? Rebooting it? I don't think the phone really varies that much other than the locked bootloader.

Something else must be blocking it. I'll be willing to help if you want to give me some more details.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] life_speed@yahoo.com:
Used the ADB method on Verizon Pixel 2 XL (unlocked) Android 8.1. It works, although I had to reboot - toggling airplane mode was insufficient. Had done this back on 8.0 and it undid itself at some point, just noticed recently my calls were coming on cellular not wifi.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] abuttino:
This doesn't work on 9/P. I'm hoping I can find someone with a different carrier to post the output of

"adb shell settings list global" with WiFi calling enabled.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ede112:
same problem with t-mobile germany.

works great on oreo 8.1.

not with andoid P
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lmandroid:
Any luck on android P? I won't update to P if I can't use "wifi preferred" on Verizon.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] abuttino:
Nope, not yet
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Joppykid:
Nothing in particular was causing it. It was random. Luckily, I convinced Verizon to give me a free Network Extender so it is no longer an issue.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] wowzors:
So there is no way to get this to work if you are on a pixel 2 xl android p on Verizon?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Cares:
I just got a T-Mobile SIM. I can test for you if you write up quick instructions on what you need. I have Terminal Emulator, do I just type that command in?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] abuttino:
Plug you phone into your computer, find/download and run adb shell

Then accept the new phone. Type adb shell again.

Paste: settings list global, settings list system and settings list secure.

You might want to put them on pastebin.com

I'll look them over tomorrow.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Cares:
Okay I got them but there seems to be quite a lot of information. I have to comb through if anything is personal. I definitely see my Bluetooth devices in same of the pastes. Is there a particular line or setting you're looking for?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SyCoREAPER:
Subscribed. Hopefully something/a fix for Android P can be found.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] abuttino:
Verizon was supposed to get the rebuttal to the FCC last week, I still have yet to hear from the FCC. This could be great news.

Verizon has no reason other than 'it's a corporate policy' to block WiFi Preferred calling. I'm not sure how the fcc will take that but it sounds like a big f-u to customers like all of us that have problems with cell towers.

Considering that this is a built in function for the phone and they outright block it for no reason, we could see the FCC make a decision in our favor.

Fingers crossed.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] abuttino:
My rebuttal to the FCC about Verizon's response in which they lied and spun.

This is in response to Verizon's Supplemental letter to the FCC:

(Letter edited for private content)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] abuttino:
The FCC ended the case with no action. Hackers wanted!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SyCoREAPER:
It didn't change in the settings but on my Unlocked Pixel 2 XL it loves staying on WiFi mode now. My Verizon Pixel 2 XL on the other hand refuses to switch. Time to tinker

UPDATE

Interesting. What I did:

1) Do (ADB) steps on Thread Page 1.

2) Toggled Advanced Calling off (give it 10 seconds) and turn it back on.

3) Phone should show and be stuck on WiFi Calling ONLY so long as you do NOT Reboot or toggle airplane mode.

"The Fix" can be reapplied after reboot or airplane mode by simply following above Step 2 again.

This process was performed on both Unlocked and Verizon Pixel 2 XL's running Android P. Give it a try on other Pixels and report back

I know what needs to be done but don't know how.

In Tasker, have a task that when WiFi is connected, disable Advanced Calling. When WiFi disconnects, enable advanced calling.

If someone knows what plugin for tasker can do this we've got it.

Or if you don't care about HD Voice, etc.. leave it off.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bkkzak:
I'm not clear, why do you disable advanced calling? Does that help somehow with wifi preferred ? Thanks
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SyCoREAPER:
I thought so at the time but it was only temporary.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Broadley1:
Can you walk me through how u did this with terminal emu?

I'm not rooted
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] abuttino:
I think I may have an answer for rooted phones.

In October, I installed the beta of Android 9 and started tinkering with some mbn files deep in the system folders.

Using a hex editor, I found a file that controlled when WiFi calling got used.

Since then, I have upgraded to the RTM (January 2019 Release) and noticed that none of my calls are switching to WiFi.

I will edit that file again and apply it with Magisk. If I am guessing correctly, I may have figured it out.

Now, the only thing.. I have to figure out which way to adjust it so that it will route mostly all calls to WiFi.

This changes the way WiFi Calling works. Instead of having WiFi Preferred, it will just have a signal required for WiFi or Mobile calls (threshold).

I'll keep you all updated as things progress.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DA6030:
Can someone suggest research procedure?

I have a Pixel 1 and Pixel 3 that I don't mind experimenting with, to track down the new location for where this setting is stored. I also have active T-Mobile and Verizon SIMs, if helpful.

Is there something I can do that generally resembles:

1. Wipe device, activate WiFi Calling.

2. Take a full dump of Settings DB (or full data partition)?

3. While on T-Mobile, change to WiFi Calling Preferred.

4. Take a full dump of Settings DB (or full data partition)?

5. Compare the differences between the dumps.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Av3nGeRX:
Australian Vodafone user here with the same issues. I have a Google Pixel 3 - android version 9 5th April 2019 Patch.

Have been scouring the internet for the last few hours trying to find solutions, have found much on this ADB method and tried that to no affect - seems to be an older solution for older Android firmwares or/and older Pixels.

Interestingly, when typing:

settings get global wfc_ims_global

I get a response of '-1'. When I change it to '2', it reports back a '2,' but the phone still reports 'Mobile Preferred,' even after toggling airplane mode. After a reboot it reverts back to a '-1'

Will be much appreciated if anyone could help - my house AND work has TERRIBLE reception, and toggling airplane mode on to force wifi calls is such a pain.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] thetank82986:
Hi team, this is no longer persisting through reboots for Verizon devices. It is now deafulting back to -1 for wfc_ims_mode after reboot....

This doenst work. It just says "Unlock Failed". I was wondering if I could flash a diff and and if it would work :\
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] NASSTYROME:
That would indicate the device is most likely imei blacklisted from the carrier network or you can't do unlocking without actually reaching a tower that contains a signal for the carrier network.

Most likely it's a stolen phone, or they never paid their bill in a timely manner.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UncleManuel:
Hi there!

A few weeks ago I flashed the OTA update to Nougat and since then I have primarily two annoying issues:

1) WIFI disconnects when phone is locked (screen off)

2) mobile data stops working randomly when phone is locked

Issue #1 is noticeably when I unlock the phone and a message appears that it is connecting to the WIFI AP.

Issue #2 is noticeably when I unlock the phone and have no internet connection. And then realize why I got no new messages the past 2 hours. But it really sucks when I use navigation on my bicycle and the app stops navigating because no internet connection (Naviki and Impulse app)... :eek:

And it's not only my phone. A collegue and different other people with the German version of the S6 updated to Android N reported the exact same issues... :rolleyes:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidethorn:
Hello, I want to switch from Franco to Elemental X kernel, I read that first I must go back to stock kernel.

Here's what I do:

1) download factory image angler-n2g47w-factory-bd87661a.zip

2) unzip factory image

3) unzip image-angler-n2g47w.zip

4) copy boot.img into fastboot directory

5) adb reboot-fastboot

6) fastboot flash boot boot.img

When I reboot the phone stucks on first page with the google logo and the lock at the bottom of the page.

Fortunately I can go back to twrp, reinstall franco kernel, reboot the phone and everything works fine.

Can someone please help meto find out why I cannot boot stock kernel?

Thank you in advance
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coremania:
Dirty flash your rom together with stock boot.img, or do a factory reset.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidethorn:
Dirty flash is not working, before factory reset I need a backup.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coremania:
Backup with twrp, unpack the zip in the factory image, wipe system and caches with twrp, flash boot, system and vendor.img with twrp from the unpacked zip. Why does dirty flashing isn't working?

Edit: your bootloader is unlocked, right? You didn't relocked
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
Dirty flash the whole stock image.

Remove the -w from the flash_all script. It is the option to tell fastboot to wipe and you don't want a wipe of data.

I dirty flash like this for stock all the time.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidethorn:
Thanks I will give it a try ??
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidethorn:
Dirty Flashing ROM (pure nexus by the way) and boot.img from stock cause a bootloop

and I never relocked bootloader I will try flashing boot+system+vendor.img
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coremania:
OK, as you wrote before I thought u are on stock rom with Franco kernel, now it's pn. A bit confusing, if u are planning to switch between roms a clean flash is always recommended.

als ik dat doe komt hij tot 12% en dan stopt hij ermee en zegt hij dat ik de herstel code op een andere computer moet proberen maar de herstel code komt niet tevoorschijn.

I tried clearing cache and Dalvik cache, didn't work.

I tried resetting app preferences, didn't work.

kernel and android system takes up most of the battery

1)Your probably facing deep sleep issue but AFAIK deep sleep is already fixed there in official nougat 7.0 by sammy, Primary solution you can try is to factory reset your device If not helps

THEN

2)Either wait for next official OTA release for your device Or Try any custom pre-rooted rom with Deep-Sleep Fixed on side of kernel
