**** The Official Samsung Galaxy S23 Family Thread ****

Any one having Chrome issues. Mine keeps hanging and earlier I got a 'KLMS Agent has stopped working' error. Chrome updated, it's like Google are actively pushing me towards a rival - I'm just too lazy at this point.

Edit - the issue seems to manifest exclusively on OcUK forums.

I've had the hang too, only rarely though. I've also had it on another forum, not sure if the two are running the same forum software etc
 
I'm wondering if anyone can shed any light on this one for me? Apologies if it's already been covered...

So, I swapped from a Galaxy S21 on EE to a Galaxy S23 on Three and ported my number over, all went smoothly.

On my S21on EE, I often used WiFi Calling especially at work and my folks house due to not great signal. On my S23 however, despite WiFi Calling been enabled, it doesn't seem to be active and the icon doesn't appear in the top bar. I have spoken to Three and their 2nd line team but they haven't been much help.

If I put the Three sim on my work iPhone, WiFi calling is fine, which rules the sim card out as faulty, and if I put my work Vodafone sim on the S23 then WiFi calling is instantly enabled and the icon appears, which then rules out the S23 as been faulty.

It seems to be only effected when it's a combination of the Three sim and the S23. If I enable Airplane Mode, but then turn WiFi back on, the WiFi Calling icon appears and it works fine, however when I turn off Airplane Mode and I'm back on cellular, the icon switches off.

It's almost like Three are telling my handset not to allow WiFi calling when the signal is good enough. Is that a thing? Additionally, some S23 users screenshots I've seen allow them to select their preferred calling network, either mobile or WiFi, in the WiFi calling menu but I don't have this option available?

Handset is on the latest update with nothing pending, and all apps up to date.

Am I doing something daft or is this Three switching it off on this handset whilst I have cellular enabled?

I'm baffled...

EE allows you to select WiFi calling preferred of network preferred.

Sounds like three fall into the latter, so it'll revert to WiFi calling when the signal drops below a set threshold.
 
Thought as much, would just like the option to set this to WiFi as preferred, especially when the phone can have 1 bar of signal and it's still using it for calls (often not great quality) when there is a 5gbps internet line with WiFi 6 APs available to use for WiFi calling.

Cheers pal

It's a major annoyance that just doesn't seem to ever get resolved by Network providers. They blame Samsung and their software, when in reality it has to be down to the Network Provider. EE are the only ones who allow WiFi Preferred.

Voda will always use Wi-Fi calling when wifi is available and from what I can remember voxi too.

But these are on iPhones.
 
Ref battery: I've had the phone for 5 days and I'm on my 2nd charge.

Battery at 100% Monday 09:00. Now it's Wednesday with 32% left, with 90 minutes of screen time (mostly video recording in the camera app).

Can you go one menu further which lists the app usage for your battery? Also check the health status of the battery (somewhere in settings). And finally - there is the Members App (Galaxy Store) which can run a battery (ahhh thank you) of tests to diagnose issues.

I don't have the option, that's my gripe, but it seems only EE customers get this option.

In Airplane mode with WiFi Calling enabled, calls and texts are fine, just wish I could have it on when I want, not when Three want
