Please don't spam me if I say something stupid, Im just a noob here. Also don't spam me if I post in the wrong thread. (only in the epic forum will I ever have to leave something like that before a normal quesiton/post)
Okay, so I saw this on the xda news thingy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142448 . Someone on the vibrant forums was able to get wifi calling working. Could this be ported to or work on our epics?
Looks promising, but I see some users are getting charged for land line minute usage and others not. Also see some grandfathered plans are being changed upon usage of Wifi Calling. This goes for T-mobile customers of course.
I currently make my Wifi calls with gv + sipdroid without have to deal with any of these hassles.
BTW - Running 2.2 Froyo, have not played to much with ginderbread integrated VOIP features yet.
I feel like ive heard of tmobile being one of the only carriers with wifi calling... But im not sure, maybe we cant do it and they can but it was disabled... Just my 2ยข

I need help with the Groove IP applications! No matter what I do, the person I call always hears an echo.. I used echo reduction but then they said I was breaking up! Anyone know of a good setting adjustment?? Please help!!
I'm also interested in what settings people here are using with GrooveIP on the G2/DZ. So if you're reading this and running Groove, let us know what all your settings tweaks are and what kind of voice quality/problems you have.
It would also help if everybody (specially the OP) mentioned the approximate Speedtest speeds they're getting, and whether they're using WiFi or 4g, etc.
I just installed Groove the other day, and I'm still waiting for a new DSL/landline to be installed at my location so that I can do some testing with it. (and stop "borrowing" a neighbor's crappy WiFi - friggin' AT&T disconnected my DSL when I got my landline number ported to my cell...grrr) So I haven't really got to test it yet, but I will report back when I get a chance.

Are we going to see this come to Ice Cream Sandwich ever?
I suppose the most logical move will be for the devs to wait until ICS comes out on a T-mobile device that also has wifi calling.
But that aside - does anyone know of any progress with this application?

I think that one version had it working with the GB wifi call but it has since broken, so I think it will work after kinks are sorted out
Wifi calling is incredibly low on the priority list for most devs right now, but the fact that someone manged to get it working means the outlook is good.
But to answer your other question, yes a Tmobile ICS device with wifi calling will be tremendous help. And I'm sure one is coming
Looking forward to new ICS-Smartphones with Wifi-Calling. I think it comes nearly.
Shouldn't there be a way to access tmo's uma access points using our internet call settings? Might flash back to cm7 just to get the apns...
Sent from my Andromadus ICS HTC Vision using TapaTalk
I think there is some other sim verification that the wifi calling app does that cm7's internet calling does not that allows you to use whatever t-mobile has in place online.
Anyhoo - thanks for the responses - glad to hear it is coming at least sometime in the future!
This is the only reason I'm not upgrading yet. I get poor service at my house.
need help, nothing helped and no wifi yet
Came across this thread. So I thought I'd update you since I last worked on it.
Currently it seems we have to wait for T-mo to release an updated libkineto.so and possibly other libs.
I got it to half work...
SMS/MMS (working)
Recieving a Call (kinda)
Calling out (kinda)
The problems with the actual voice calling are:
-Headset speaker cuts out when proximity sensor kicks in
-When receiving a call it sometimes will work on speaker phone and sometimes there will be intermittent cut outs and long delays. Sometimes it works perfectly fine
-Calling out will only work on the first call and then will require a reboot.
After either type of call the app will freeze and FC.
I'm a novice at developing so there is only so much I can figure out on my own.
However I think it also has some part with how the Roms are working, e.g. Sound cutting out when proxy sensor trips.
If you want to at least know when someone is calling you and send text I attached it, will work across all ICS roms.
Thanks to jerl92 for building a flashable .zip for me
Should be great strides in this with the upcoming release of the One S, all reviews I have seen indicate working wifi calling.

HTC One S has Tmobile Wifi Calling
According to ZDNET we'll get our wish soon as HTC One S for T-mobile has the wifi calling app built in, I can't make a link yet cause I'm a forum noob
One S WiFi Calling

Hmm....ok. Strange because Engadget listed Wifi Calling as "good" bloatware on the One S, which indicates an app.
But I imagine that it can still be ported, just implemented through the framework rather than an app. I think. Devs in the development section would know better.

Yeah - I'm sure someone will figure out - developers have gotten past much bigger obstacles!
FYI, I've been monitoring this thread looking for the ICS WiFi calling app, but found it elsewhere so thought I'd share in case anyone else is watching this thread. EdKeys has it for Desire/G2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1664106) and bigmoew for Sensation (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1654940)
Looks like very recently something has been added to the CM9 repository:
Code:
Merge "pyramid: enable T-Mobile USA wifi calling" into ics
MERGED ON JUN 04TH AT 22:05:33 IN ANDROID_DEVICE_HTC_PYRAMID

That merge is actually just the params to support wifi calling, and it's not for our device. That said, the entirety of that patch in CM9 is included in what you flash with EdKeys' wifi calling flashable zips.
Hello all,
I am about to set back into the android world and had a quick question on the G2. I know in the past the G2 had wifi calling and tmobile tethering. Looks like (I did some searching) in the past it was free to tether although HTC said with the ICS updates it will be gone. Thing is the G2 does not get the official ICS. If I flash an ICS rom will there be free tethering? And I assume the wifi calling uses minutes but gives you the high quality of a call via wifi.
I will probably be adding the $30 prepaid plan for 100 minutes, unlmt data and messaging..
Thanks!

I haven't used wifi calling but free tethering still works the same way it did in gingerbread.
Tethering still works, and there is a mod to get Wifi Calling working on ICS roms.

Mod for that is in my signature which I use on EliteRom. And I can verify the mod works as I've used it several times.
If you want a ROM that already has the Wifi Calling baked in, then you can try Andromadus Mimicry. You'll have to update the radio to the required version but that's a simple thing. Links to both the radio and the ROM are in my signature.
Thanks folks.
My craiglister backed out today when I told them I was going to need to check the ESN before buying (hmm sketchy huh). So I am still on the hunt. Thanks for the info, I will definitely revisit shortly.

Some people just don't like too many questions, they just wana get rid of it.
I know its been asked before and I also know its been shot down before...but still trying to find out if anyone had any kind of success with making a tmo wifi calling app for the our beloved nexus. I know there are other options but I want to be able to call anyone and receive incoming calls with my tmo number.
Thanks
Unfortunately, T-mobile's wifi calling has hooks in the kernel and the ril, as well as now being baked into the rom itself. It's VERY unlikely that this will ever happen. Sorry.
I was afraid someone was going to say something like that.

Title pretty much says it all...is T-Mobile wifi calling working on the GPe S4 yet? And if not, do we have any hopes of getting it working any time soon?
I'm seriously considering dropping VZ like a bad habit, but wifi calling would be a must to be able to use my phone at work.
I don't think so. It's a T-Mobile feature. I wish it would. Wi-Fi calling is a must for me too. My house is in an LTE area but my house is kind of going downhill. And it's surrounded by trees. Wi-Fi calling is a feature that made me switch to T-Mobile along with unlimited everything and cheap prices. And Wi-Fi calling is only available in the T-Mobile stock ROM.

There is a thread about getting wifi calling to work on other ROMs in the developers only section. People have been trying for years now with no avail. That is why I have never used a non TW rom.

Fwiw, VoIP apps can work quite well, AND the calls are free, unlike with wifi calling.
Some are simple to use such as Spare Phone, GrooveIP, etc. but may introduce some voice delay. I use Sipdroid and it's really been improved with virtually no delay and sounds great. Sipdroid requires a free account at pbxes.org.
Note that all VoIP apps require the use of a secondary #. I use Google Voice which is also free.
I rock Sipdroid on my GE ROM phone with no problem.
Again, fwiw.
