Unable to activate wifi calling

nickdalzell
What is 'wifi 6?' Maybe it's best I never know. The only 6 I'm familar with is 'IPv6' which caused me no end of issues with my wifi until I disabled it. I know many online protest people disabling IPv6 citing some doomsday scenario of 'running out of IP addresses' or some BS like that. But I do not care. I need working internet not wonky internet. Might be some of your issue though. How long have you had this router?

At work we still have AT&T U-Verse (don't tell AT&T, they think it's supposed to be dead or EOL!) and many valid websites redirect to dnserror search assist which is a router page that comes up when the local DNS server can't find the site in the database (getting worse each year).

I'd try setting up WiFi calling on another wifi network just to rule that out.

Help My Motorola Android is Locked!!

H
Thanks y'all for the help. I got into my phone. I did exactly what you said Milo. And thanks Ocnbrze! You both supported and helped me. The instructions worked. Thanks a bunch. If I have any other questions, I'll be writing here again. I was able to find and keep my emails and pics and texts and all. I found more answers here with you both than with any other company or my service. Thanks again y'all!! Later.

Ok so after checking further looks like its something totally different. Apparently, my phone is controlling a Kodi box in my house! I hit pause, it pauses there. I hit play, it plays there. I never have seen their Kodi box. Any idea how it would just connect like that and how do I dislodge it? Each time they turn on the box, the casting thing starts on my phone.

The only way is to change the Google account on the kodi box is on.......I think.

New phone suggestions Motorola

RemovableBatt88 said:
Seems there are not alot good phones that are new Motorola G power is supposed have a worse processor than the 2022 model. Currently have the Moto E6 but doesnt work with my headset because they made mic jack very cheaply and not tight enough.
Anyone have a G Power 2022 ? is it any good what other new phones are decent that are in same price range?
Click to expand...
My sister has the same exact power, and she said it is worth all the extra money in the world, with help with me, I was able to turn off all her mods that sometimes does not used as much, and on her way on helping everything else, still you cannot go wrong with a Moto cell, I think she is okay with it, but the process power really sucks when the first few times I tried it out, she needs more training on to make it hers...

Anniversary

olbriar said:
Congrats on 28 years.

Living together prior to marriage was just not heard of when my parents were dating and quite rare when I was dating. 50 years later it's not uncommon at all to test the winds before setting sail. I would think that a trial run to confirm compatibility should drastically decrease the short term marriages.

Amen, I also think that too, it is uncommon to test all the winds before setting sail, that is what I have been doing with my best friend, Mimi, who has been with me throughout thick and thin, she is my sister. :)

Android reboots when audio/video is played

T

I don't have the same phone, I have Android LG V20, but I was having all the same effects of my phone powering down and heating up really bad as soon as I started using Audio or Video plus Audio and it was rebooting due to it. The phone had an aftermarket battery in it called Taeozi. I come across this page and was just about to order a replacement motherboard for the phone, but thought hey let me try a few of the old batteries I had, both are expanding and I thought both were toast but I thought what the heck I grabbed them tossed the largest one in, another aftermarket battery, and turned it on and the problem is gone now. I originally had some code that was popping up and it wouldn't boot up, so I ordered that Taeozi, but now the code is gone, plus the rebooting/ crashing stopped. I'm not sure why but the battery was causing the operating system to reboot it seems due to whatever issues the battery was having.

Help No APN on Sprint version

andryuhaagressor said:
Okay, so...
Nothing said above helped, so I reflashed my device on the Verizon version. Now I have a 4G icon on top, but it's greyed. Now I have an "Add APN" option, but it doesn help. Changes cannot be saved.
Any advices?)

It's very likely still disabled with the MSL. I believe to obtain the MSL unlock code for this device, you have to be a Sprint customer...

Good luck!!

S22 Ultra with Exynos has performance & display issues

This does not bode well for all those users in Europe who will be receiving their Exynos S22 Ultra devices from Samsung on their official launch day, today, 25th February...

The retail Galaxy S22 Ultra with Exynos has performance and display issues

"the only thing I can say is to hold off on purchasing the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra for now if you live in Europe, because as it stands right now, the Exynos 2200 Galaxy S22 Ultra is completely unusable as a daily driver. It’s incredibly laggy and the battery life is terrible, too. This isn’t even the first day, it’s the second, and even “calibration” shouldn’t cause it to only have 50 minutes of SOT with 67% left."

(Source... Adam Conway, Senior editor at XDA-Developers)


I have a feeling that the new mantra for the Exynos S22 Ultra devices will be...

"Hopefully there will be an update to fix this soon"

If Samsung are able to release an update to fix these and other issues, they need to do it quickly before their returns date ends.
Click to expand...

I have a SnapDragon version and as of right now 67% battery after 90 min of SOT. So even with SnapDragon battery life is atrocious as far as I'm concerned. My iphone 13 Pro did drain like this. If the battery continues to be this bad I'll probably switch back when the Iphone 14 Pro Max is released. And just use my S22 Ultra as back up or something. Because If I use this phone for more than anything but basic things the battery just gets sucked down. And I've done most of the suggested battery settings. I was team Android S Series for a few generations before I had jumped to Iphone. I Had the S6, S7, S9. Then moved Iphone X, 11Pro, 13 Pro. But seems like jumping back into Android wasn't a great idea this time around. I really like this phone too. But the battery life is just way too short to live with as daily driver.

4XL Camera Stopped Working

codesplice
Did you try booting into Safe Mode to see if the camera works there? If so, it could be another app interfering somehow.

Otherwise, there's the ever-so-slight chance that a factory reset might clear it up, but most likely you're facing a hardware problem and the phone would need to be repaired or replaced.

T-Mobile vs AT&T in 2022

My ol'lady has a carrier that uses Verizon towers.
But when we travel, I always bring my AT&T phone for 'just in case'.
When my wife and daughter decide to go on road trips they usually head to, California, utah, or Arizona and their T-Mobile service works fine.
Last month we went for a road trip to northern Nevada and she kept losing coverage with t mobile ( I connected her and the daughter to my Verizon hot spot) we also brought a long my Google Fi phone.
Eventually we got back into TMobile coverage.
So with Verizon, T-Mobile and Google Fi we are pretty much covered anywhere we go



It actually saved our rear ends when we were in southern Indiana and there was no Verizon coverage at all.
I had Sprint, and now T-Mobile, and neither of those work there either.
Only my AT&T would work.

We go there every year (The Boogie), so we need SOMETHING that works in case we have an issue.

Help Need to record calls from a (physical) VoIP Phone

F
The need for a system for recording telephone conversations of company employees is a big necessity for me. In my company, we use the VoIP service Mightycall. In principle, there are two options for recording conversations – one uses the built-in PBX functionality, the second uses an external system for recording telephone conversations (it does not depend on the PBX, is made by a third-party manufacturer and, as a rule, can be connected to almost any PBX). Which option to choose depends on the budget and the task.
