Re: Wifi Preferred Option
Thanks - unfortunately I traded in Note 9 so couldn't test it - doh! I asked a similar question on the Samsung community and someone with the identical model on EE sent a screenshot showing this option was available so this shows is provider related. The phone is not on the SMARTY approved list - my theory is it works by default with basic settings but needs them to tweak the APN. Support couldn't say when/if the phone will be added. My next experiment is I've ordered a VOXI SIM (Vodafone) to see what that does.....8.9KViews0likes0CommentsRe: 5G
Hi! The download speed will be effected by a range of factors as well as the network generation e.g. signal strength and how users there are (contention). For example you might be close to a 4G transmitter and further away from a 5G transmitter (though often will be co-located). A good app to try is Network Signal Info (KAIBITS) which provides connection details if you want to experiment more!3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: [Prize Draw] Let us know about your favourite bit of tech
I've just got a Samsung Fold 4 - thought it would be a bit of gimmick but the larger screen makes a real difference when browsing etc. Also the ability to have multiple split windows and be able to save the layout and enable it when automatically I'm in the car is really useful (I have Waze on 2/3 and then spotify and a speedo in smaller tiles) I think in future the biggest game changer would be a revolution in battery technology - imagine only having to charge once a week!21KViews0likes0CommentsRe: can I prioritise to wifi calling at home?
Hi! Following on from Gary's advice you can set up routines (if you have Android 13 it's built in otherwise Tasker might work) that switches flight mode on and off depending if you're home or not. I had the same problem and worked around it this way 😀4.6KViews0likes1CommentWifi Preferred Option
Hi! I have a new Fold 4 and noticed a behaviour around wifi calling. I have enabled wifi calling in the menu - when the mobile signal drops to no bars the wifi calling icon appears. When the signal moves to 1 or 2 bars then it turns off. This is an issue since my mobile signal is borderline so want wifi calling by default. On my old Note 9 you could set the calling preference but this option is not available on the new phone (Android 13). I've done some googling and getting mixed messages around this whether it is an android setting and/or a setting that is available for only certain network providers. Does anyone on Smarty with earlier android version have the wifi preferred option? Thanks in advance, Richard PS There is the "flight mode" option as a work around which works and I've set up a routine to turn this on and off depending if I'm home or not so this will hopefully work as a fallback! Thanks in advance for any help!8.9KViews0likes16Comments
