How do you get rid of WiFi Calling notification, T-Mo version?

So no matter how phone settings are set as long as you have data signal you get simultaneous voice and data? Sorry I don't know what hspa means.

Yes. As long as you are not on "E" or Edge data. If you're on 3G/4G (HSPA) or 4G LTE you can have simultaneous voice and data. GSM technology can do this whereas CDMA cannot -- which is why CDMA phones have to have VoLTE otherwise they won't have the simultaneous voice and data.

Example below .. me on HSPA (4G) on a call .. Me on LTE on a call.

Thanks for the explanation.

CDMA phones can do simultaneous voice and data over cdma IF there are two cellular paths. Like in the Thunderbolt or Verizon s3. There are also some phones like the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4 which could do simultaneous voice and data over 4GLTE WITHOUT volte. But any current Verizon device does require volte for simultaneous voice and data.

Go to Settings:More Connection Settings:WiFi Calling and then switch to Cellular Network Preferred. That gets rid of the notification and saves your battery. WiFi calling will only kick in when there is no cellular service. I notice no difference between WiFi calling or regular cellular.

no you do not. CDMA networks (like Sprint an Verizon) have an issue as the data modem and the voice modem are different (not just bands but also frequency - this is why Verizon has an issue with moving from VoLTE to CDMA).

GSM operators (like T-Mobile and AT&T don't have the issue). I simultaneous voice and data all the time.

As Mikey says, "Try it you'll like it"

Looks like lots of people beat me to this.

I found a pretty easy solution

For Android 8.0+ :

1. First, download AutoNotification

2. Then, open the app and under "Standalone Features" tap "Notification Blocking"

3. Now tap the plus in the upper right and search for "calling"

4. An app called "Wi-Fi Calling" will show up. Tap it. Next a box that says "All Fields Optional" will show up. Just tap OK.

There! You're done! The notification won't show up again unless you remove it from that list and restart your phone!

This method works for any app including the Wi-Fi Calling app. It does not keep the app from running, which means Wi-Fi calling will still work fine while the notification is blocked.

For Android Under 8.0 :

All that needs to be done is force stopping the wifi calling package when you connect to wifi. The package restarts automatically (but does not send the notification again) and I've tested that wifi calling and texting will work fine while using this profile. If wifi disconnects and reconnects the notification will show up again, so the profile stops the package everytime you connect to a network.

The profile will wait 6 seconds after connection to wifi to stop the package (and get rid of the notification) as this is how long it takes for the notification to show up on my phone after I connect to wifi. If the profile doesn't work try tweaking this time to a longer amount of seconds.

Here's the XML for the profile:
