I have zero service in my house so I was excited to upgrade to my G2 for its Wifi calling. I am running CyanogenMod 6.1.1 and cannot hold a conversation because the connection is absolutely terrible; the other person's voice would be choppy and I wouldn't be able to make sense of what they were saying. I have a wireless N router in my bedroom so signal strength is not the issue. Anyone have any ideas how I might remedy this? Thanks in advance!

Found this in the Cyanogen 6.1.1 forum:

Might be kernel related

Has anyone else had issues using WiFi calling after applying the OTS 2.2.1 update?
Trying to make a WiFi call seems to be utilizing almost all of the phone's resources and making it hang for a long period of time. Ending the call takes forever, and neither the called party nor the calling party can hear each other at all.
This is acting up regardless of which WiFi network I'm connected to, etc.
I'm downgrading to 2.1 again to see if it still works, but wondered if anyone else ran into this issue.
Thanks

Actually, my wifi calling is much improved since 2.2.1. I have not done a factory reset since the upgrade, maybe you have?
I figured out that the root of the issue seems to be either Milestone OC or SetCPU. I uninstalled them and it's been fine.
I'll see which one is the culprit and post again.
Did you ever figure which was at fault as my wifi calling has degraded.
Thanks
My wifi calling has always been poor. There's a consistent 3-4 second lag in voice. Makes taking important calls very difficult. No 3G in my town, and I barely have 1 bar in my house, so I gotta use wifi.
So the wifi calling app for G2 (and before when I had a MT4g) just really is no good.
Is there anything I can do to improve the call quality? I have full wifi bars whenever I'm on my home wifi network but the quality goes from very loud and good to extremely quiet (to the point where I think the call may have dropped) and then just stays there forever. It will occasionally peak up to great quality for a second or two but then goes back down to nothing.
So bottom line is: I'd love to use this app as it will not use my minutes which is awesome but the quality is just too bad for me to even use. My internet speeds are always 9mbps or more, by wifi is wireless g but I don't think that should make a diff. The speedtest.net app on my phone ensures I get those same 9mbps or more speeds on my phone as well.
Or does this feature just suck?
I use wifi calling all the time and my calls are clear. Are you still using the froyo stock wifi calling? The new version in gingerbread is quite a bit better.

I use Virtuous G-Lite 1.0.3 so I use whatever version is included with that ROM. Can I update the wi-fi calling app? and if so, how?
My calls are clear on WiFi calling. What type of router do you have and what kind of usage is it seeing while you're making calls? Sounds like it might just be a bandwidth issue?

I use a netgear wireless g router. I'm 99% sure it is not a bandwidth issue. My bandwidth isuaully around 20mbps and certainly never below 9mbps. Like I said in the OP my speed test app also suggests that bandwidth is fine as that usually reads in the 12 mbps area.
Call quality does not change with network usage... It's the same if I'm doing nothing or actively using it. I'm just not sure what the problem could be...
Wondering if anyone else has this issue. My wifi is pretty weak on my EVO. i had strong connections before, and after, i rooted. But since i started running cm7 my wifi has become very weak. currently, my laptop has full bars, my friend has full bars on her intercept, but my EVO wifi shows only the dot in the wifi signal display is lit up.
Is this a known issue? and is there a fix? as i said, everything was fine when i was stock, unrooted and rooted.
running CM7.1.0, tiamat 4.0.8.
iv flashed several CM7 roms since rooting, all nightlies.
If this has been answered before i apologize. did a search for "wifi" and found no answers.
did u find a fix for this? i have the exact same problem
You may have low bars, as each device [phone] will register the connection strength, but as long as the data is there, nothing to complain about.
Try updating the radio. Somewhere on these forums there is a post with a combo zip that will update all of them all at the same time.

yeah, I had very poor wifi signal and 3g signal with cm7. Liked the look and feel of cm, but with poor wifi and signal strenght, along with gps not working and wifi tether unable to work, I went back to Fresh.
Hi all,
I searched the forums for this topic and haven't been able to find anything that addessess this exactly...
I have a rooted SGS2 with Whitehawkx's rom installed. I have been using it for over a week now and noticed that even if wifi calling is enabled, I often get an "unable to connect" error, then when I actually get the Wifi calling to work, the call quality is really bad.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so is there any kind of fix or work-around?
Thanks!
Madi
Are you using the sim card that came with the device? That could be the problem.
Sent from my SGH-T989
I got a new SIM card when I bought the phone. It does "work" meaning I can usually get wifi calling enabled after a few tries, although not always.
When I call comes in the wifi calling icon goes from blue to green, like it's supposed too, but the calls sounds like the person on the other end has a very bad stutter, so I miss half the conversation...
Madi
In that case I don't know what could be causing that problem. IM currently running juggernaut 4.0 with the new modem and wifi calling is working perfectly. I hope someone can help!

How is the quality of your internet connection?
Sometimes poor internet or local isp might be the problem.
Try running speedtest.net test and report

Call quality on Wifi calling could be because of ANYTHING , network related, it is a VOIP based service.
The things that could be causing it,
Internet Connection (not just speed but packet loss)
Router (the type of router , including firewall, and stateful packet inspection, UPNP)
Wireless Access Point, try changing the channel on your AP
and many more things , related to network traffic ..
My call quality bounces from great to crappy depending on what is going on, on my network.
Hi thanks for the info. Tried connecting to a different router, was using my new Cisco, Burr had better quality when connected to my old Belkin. It's stool not great but it's better.
Thanks

just wanted to bump this thread as I am having the same problems stated in the OP.
Info in sig. got a new sim card from tmobile today. got home, connected to wifi calling, worked for about an hour with choppy quality then disconnected. tried connecting again later on and keep getting the "Error REG99 Unable To Connect" message
Tmobile support forums say this is a known issue with the SGS2 but am just wondering if others are experiencing the issue and weather its rom related or the service is down altogether.
i also tried flashing different kernel just in case (faux to darkside) but no results
anybody insight or suggestion are appreciated
will also try flashing Blaze LB7 radio
I have an unrooted Galaxy S4 Spark. I always connect, but the voice is totally unuseable.
It's not my network. I can run video calls on Skype while downloading large files at the same time.
I don't think Sprint has their heart in Wi-Fi calling. I also suspect they have allocated VERY LITTLE bandwidth to support it.
Im having issues with my wifi signal on cm7.2 When I'm in my computer room perfect signal as soon as I move away from router signal drops to two bars. I was hoping wifi signal issues were going to get fixed in 7.2 had the same issue in 7.1. Anyone having similar issues? On Glite 2.0.1 I had perfect signal all the time. I'm using a Dual antena 802.11n router.
