I have a NON-rooted AT&T V10 that recently got upgraded to marshmallow. I had a horrible experience (as I have before) with the OTA upgrade and ended up doing a factory reset, but now that that is done it is running very smoothly and the battery life has really been good. But that is not what I'm here for. Now that everything is running well I thought I'd try to see what options are available to me in this new version so I went online to see what "hidden" menus were available.
I found this one: *#546368#*900# (900 being the model of AT&T's V10) It brings up several tests you can run, but also a "SVC Menu". After going in the svc menu there is an option at the bottom called "VoWiFi" which I thought looks interesting. The value at stock for the item in the menu: "Wi-Fi Calling toggle" was "-1" (which doesn't make any sense to me). Since it's obvious that this should provide me "voice over Wifi" I decided to try it since the service in my 2 story house is pretty bad in the corner of the basement where my office is.
After setting the value to 1 I've made a few calls and found out that indeed this does seem to work! but only when I'm in my basement with limited service (1 bar). The Wifi icon adds a plus symbol to the icon and I've made several calls now and on the dialing screen on the "Red End" icon there is a wifi symbol right above it presumably meaning you are calling using VoWiFi?
I haven't seen the documented or talked about anywhere so i joined this forum asking you guys if you can both confirm for me that I have this correct, but also to share my find and hope it helps someone else. Also, should this work for SMS/MMS as I've seen mentioned for the VoWiFi standard??? In the texting I've done so far (also very bad service for texting) It may indicate that it does. Interested to know from you guy/gals what you think?
I'm very excited about this - Comments/Thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks.
