So I am able to make calls with no problems using my home router. But at work, I can make calls using wifi calling but there's no audio on either side. I've done some googling and can't seem to find the answer other than that it has something to do with my router and it's firewall.
I'm using an old router dlink DIR-601. Anyone knows what I need to do to fix this? Just found this but it didn't really help:

Also read that this might be a known issue and it's t-mobile's problem.

Hi,
Since i've had the One X i've had nothing but problems with tethering. I've tried wifi, bluetooth and USB. All seem to suffer from the same problem.
The problem being that the phone will have a working mobile internet connection (I can use the phone to talk to the internet without problem) but my netbook cannot talk to the internet. The problem is definitely not with my netbook or the connectivity between the phone and the netbook as I can ping the phones IP address just fine.
It's almost like when tether is enabled some sort of forwarding or bridging between wifi/bluetooth/usb and mobile internet should be enabled but isn't being.
Then, totally randomly, it will just start working fine.
Sometimes disconnecting mobile internet and reconnecting fixes it. Sometimes enabling airplane mode and then disabling it fixes it. But most of the time I literally have to just wait until the phone decides to start forwarding my packcets to the internet.
I travel by train to/from work and used to tether my HTC Desire using wifi or usb. It would generally be useable for the whole journey except when I lost signal entirely or when the phone switched between Orange and T-Mobile whilst I was in the middle of something.
I guess my main questions are:
Is anyone else having this problem?
Can anyone think of a way I can try to debug what's happening?
Does anyone have a possible solution?
Thanks

Try resetting your APN setting back to default. This should fix the issue. You may have to do this everytime at OTA update is applied.
Hi
I have upgraded a few months ago to Samsung's ICS 4.0.3 stock rom but rooted on my 989, and have noticed that when I pair my bluetooth headphones and begin listening to music, the Wifi hotspot cuts out (ssid disappears, lose IP address on computer). This case is also reproducible if I do the reverse. Eg. Start fresh (BT headphones not connected), and I start my Wifi hot spot, get the PC, or playbook or other device to connect to the Wifi. I can ping -t google or similar, without issue or any interruptions. The second I turn on on my bluetooth headset and it connects to the phone, the ping takes a dump, times out, and I lose IP connectivity to the phone's 192.168.43.1 IP. My BT headset is the RF-MAB2 for what it's worth, and this issue does not happening when using regular 3.5m stereo headphones in the headphone jack.
Is there any known solution or work around to this? I don't recall this being a problem in Android v3 honeycomb, as I did the exact same thing without issue.
Any ideas or suggestions? Can I somehow pull the tether Java jar app out from honeycomb and use it in ICS?
thanks,
Jonathan
edit: fixed some spelling whoops.
Before you go ahead and pull an app from an older Android version check to see if you are having the same issue with another Bluetooth device connected with your phone. I am on a custom ROM so I'm not able to reproduce your issue. Although, I have been able to use a PS3 controller through Bluetooth to my phone while Wi-Fi was on, without Wi-Fi losing connectivity.
Also, if you have a capable router, try changing between 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz to see if that works. Even though Bluetooth is using a different frequency, there is a chance that it is interfering with your Wi-Fi signal, especially if you have a lot of devices connected to the router at the same time. You can also try changing the channel of your router and see if that does anything.
There may be other solutions but what I have mentioned is worth attempting to start troubleshooting your issue. Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestions, I will look for another BT device; I hadn't thought about that one. I usually only use tethering when im away from home, so there aren't any SSID's that show up in the wifi networks that should be interferring. Perhaps your onto something with my specific BT device and the new ICS not liking something about it, I will try an ebay ad2p / bt 3.5 mm adapter and see if it works any better, as they're cheaper than ~50 for a trial and error at futureshop.
Let me know if anything else comes to mind - thanks
I've seen people mentioning this problem in several dev threads and just wanted to share the solution that worked for me.
So what's the problem?
When you connect to some network, the wifi works for some time, but then it stops and you cannot even ping the router's IP, though the signal is good and you seem to be connected. Restarting the wifi works, but the problems repeats.
Solution:
1. Disable WMM (QOS) in router config (for me the problem disappeared right there)
2. Instead of b/g/n select b/g mode (repoted working by some folks in sony threads with similar problem)
I am looking for help to resolve basically the only issue I have not been able to figure out through these great forums or otherwise.
It seems that getting the tablet to work with an AdHoc network is not yet possible. I have seen comments stating that it may be possible through CyanogenMod. Can anybody confirm this? Or has another way been discovered to allow us to connect to AdHoc wifi networks?
Otherwise, does anybody know how to get ALL apps to recognize the Bluetooth internet connection? I have a Verizon phone running FoxFi and I am thethering via PdaNet Tablet when using Bluetooth; using FoxFi and stock wifi connection for wifi. Some apps will recognize the internet connection while others will not. Is there some way to point all apps to the Bluetooth internet connection?
Thank you in advance for your input.

you need to recompile the kernel to add ibss to the wifi driver and recompile wpa_supplicant to recognize ad-hoc.
If you don't want to do this, most versions of aokp/cm will have it working.
if you are using foxfi, you shouldn't need to worry about ad-hoc

I may be falsely assuming that it is an ad-hoc issue just due to what I have read from others commenting on the issue (re: your comment about FoxFi).
I am going to start by trying one of the more recent CM nightly releases (cm-10.2-20131105-NIGHTLY-flo) and do a little research to see what is involved in recompiling the kernel to add ibss to the wifi driver and recompile wpa_supplicant to recognize ad-hoc and respond back.
Thank you for the input!

Does Pdanet create a connection as a VPN or actual bluetooth tethering? If it's the former, there's the reason. I'm under the impression that apps will be able to properly understand a bluetooth internet connection (via bluetooth PAN I believe)

When I tested FoxFi it acted as a regular Access Point so normal wifi was all that was needed to connect.
Usually it is the WiFi Tether for Root app that sets of the phone as an ad-hoc connection, forcing the tablets connecting to it to also have ad-hoc support.

I truly don't know the answer to this. Can you provide some instructions on testing this theory? I have tried the app Bluetooth Auto Connect and set the connection up with the phone as a PAN connection. I can pair the phone and my n7 together, but the stock Bluetooth manager never shows the two as 'Connected' versus other Bluetooth devices. Any suggestions?

Then I think it must be a limitation with the LG VS660 phone that I'm using.
The good news is that the installation of CyanogenMod worked! What would have been intermittent connectivity every 5 minutes or so has now been turned into a solid wifi connection. Apps that would have rarely worked on the wifi connection are now working with no problems.
However, I am still very interested in figuring out the Bluetooth connectivity option. For those who may not want / like to go the CM route, it would be nice to have a simpler solution. Plus, my wife has a stock 2012 n7 and I would like to be able to get hers connected without rooting it. Any input on how to accomplish this would be great!
Since I've purchased the note 10 +, I've had some wifi connection issues. The phone never stays connected, or will drop wifi frequently. Normally once a day. Now though, it is much more common, and it is for longer periods of time. I'll be casting something to my tv, and then the video will drop due to the phone trying to "reconnect" to the wifi. Has anyone else seen similar issues?
No issues here with WiFi. Do you have any other devices that exhibit this issue? What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting?
I've tried resetting the router, and doing a factory reset on the device. Also, I've tried it on another wifi network and it does it there as well. No other devices that I have on my wifi exhibit the same behaviour. I was hoping with a software update it would get better but it is getting worse.
Do you have a case on your phone?
Any settings made in advanced wifi settings?
Tried app like wifi analizer? Both to check the received wifi strength and also possible wifi congestion...
Are the problems only while casting to TV or also when streaming of Internet?
Did you try change in wifi settings in router, like extended lease time or assigning fixed ip-adresses to both TV and phone, change of wifi channel, switch between 2.4GHz and 5GHz?

The wifi network is fine. Both in signal and congestion. The phone is set to be on the 5 ghz. And I've never had any issues with it on any other device. I lose signal frequently. I only used the casting example to help people understand what's happening.
Now there is a problem with many routers. Even expensive models may not solve the problem with an Internet connection. I also had problems connecting to wi-fi. The phone was disconnected from the router once every few days. I called the guys who connected the Internet to me, but they said that everything was fine on their part. They sent me a master, he looked, but could not do anything except how to change my router. A few days later, I realized that the problem was not solved and started Googling the problem on the Internet. I came across a forum where they advised me to enter this ip 192.168.1.1 and after a couple of manipulations, I was able to fix my problem.

Are you just talking about the programming page of Netgear's routers? Netgear also has apps for that...

How did entering your router's default IP address fix your issue? What changes did you make to your router's configuration?
Just saying that you entered that IP address and making a couple of manipulations doesn't help the OP.
