To ensure stable, high-quality Aircall performance on Samsung devices, you need to optimize Wi-Fi, cellular data, and battery settings to prevent call drops, missed calls, and audio issues.
Wi-Fi configuration (Local signal stability)
| Recommendation | Action | Technical Rationale (VQ Impact) |
|---|---|---|
| Disable MAC Randomization | Action: In the office network's Wi-Fi settings, select the Device MAC instead of the Randomized MAC. | A stable MAC is required by the router to correctly apply QoS (Quality of Service) and prevent packet loss due to identification instability. |
| Force 5 GHz Connection | Action: If possible, connect the phone to the 5 GHz SSID (if the two bands are separated). | The 5 GHz band is less congested and essential for reducing jitter on real-time traffic (RTP). |
| Disable Native Wi-Fi Calling (VoWiFi) | Action: Ensure the carrier's native Wi-Fi Calling (VoWiFi) service is deactivated. | Prevents interface conflicts where the phone attempts to prioritize the carrier's service over Aircall's WebRTC connection. |
Cellular data optimization
This section is crucial for managing network handoffs and 4G/5G connections.
| Recommendation | Action | Technical Rationale (VQ Impact) |
|---|---|---|
| Disable Intelligent Wi-Fi Switching | Action: In Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi > Intelligent Wi-Fi, disable the option to switch to mobile data (or Adaptive Wi-Fi). | Prevents the phone from randomly switching to cellular data during a call upon slight Wi-Fi signal drops, which causes call interruptions (flapping). |
| Check Data Limits | Action: Ensure no Data Saver or Data Limit feature is active. | Prevents the operating system from throttling the bandwidth required for a continuous RTP voice stream when consumption limits are reached. |
System and battery configuration (Application stability)
Aggressive power management by Android/One UI must be neutralized for Aircall.
| Recommendation | Action | Technical Rationale (VQ Impact) |
|---|---|---|
| Disable Aircall Battery Optimization | Action: Go to Settings > Apps > Aircall > Battery. Set usage to Unrestricted (Don't Optimize). | Prevents the OS from "killing" or throttling the app in the background, ensuring the WebSocket connection (for incoming call notifications) remains active, reducing missed calls. |
| Reduce Aircall Audio Bitrate | Action: In Aircall's quality settings, set the audio bitrate to Low (16 Kbps). [KB Link] | Smaller RTP packets are more resilient, improving stability on unstable cellular (4G/5G) or micro-drop Wi-Fi connections. |
Local troubleshooting
-
Reset Network Settings:
- Action: Execute a network settings reset (Settings > General Management > Reset > Reset network settings).
- Reason: Clears any potentially corrupted Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or VPN configurations that could be affecting connectivity.
