I have the samsung Vibrant T-959 and I am sure alot of you know that there is NO Official Release of 2.3.4 on this phone. but there ARE tons of roms with it from leaks... Gingerbread has been rather buggy on the vibrant from get go, but it has been worked and modded millions of time to seem perfectly stable. you are now able to run gingerbread on the vibrant perfectly with no Imperfections..
But yet, Wifi calling still isnt possible yet.
I have been working to get wifi calling to work on this phone for awhile now, can anyone help me with what ALL is needed in the phone to get this to work correctly..
using the tmobile wifi calling app, it hangs on "Enabling"..
so there is something missing, something not there not allowing it to Enable the calling..
if anyone can help, this would be a HUGE help..
thanks, in advanced

I've tried the stock rooted Froyo 2.2, Ava Froyo 2.2, and OMJ Froyo and the all work great (thanks everyone) but seems like Android WiFi Tether doesn't work on any of them. Is anyone experiencing this?
Actually WiFi Tether works but my laptop can't catch the signals whereas it does on OMJ 2.1fine.
same here
I unfortunately have to agree with you...wireless tethering just does not work yet with this new kernel. I have tried all the same HTC froyo roms as well... I can broadcast and my WiFi device can see it and try to connect but cannot get an ip address ..always 169... I hope this gets fixed soon
I don't use tethering that much anymore (now that I'm not in high school) but once I start college next month I'll need it more than ever, so idk if I should flash 2.2 yet. From everything I've read nobody's gotten it to work on any froyo roms yet.
first, q and a, not development, is where this should have been posted.
second, i'm on cm6 nightly 7/29, with the new radio and wimax flashed over it. i had no problem at all using the froyo hotspot (obviously not sprint's, bc no sprint packaged material is on the cm6 aosp release). it's not 4g, but it works. i tethered my ps3 with no issues at all.
im in same boat... once i head back to college i'm going to want to take advantage of the unlimited 4G... and without wifi tether thats going to suck.. hopefully someone can figure this out -
maybe someone will make a kernel with it enabled based on whatever in 2.1 that allows it ...?
does PDANET work? anyone who upgraded?
this is in wrong section but I used version 2_0_5-pre4 and it works fine. right now on Stock Froyo rooted but switching to Fresh 3.0 beta 2 in a few min
cyanogenmod's rom has working tethering. doesn't have 4g or sense, but wifi tether works, as does everything else.
werid
weird, still not working for me, I am going back to 2.1 OMJ for now, I need my free 4G WIFI TETHER DEVS!
I don't really care about tethering, but can you get any of the fps "fixed" kernels to work on any of the 2.2 roms?

Does the wireless tethering capability that comes stock with Froyo not work for you? Works fine for me in CM6.
Need some time?
The leak has only been released less than 2 days therefore obviously still have a lot of issue with old APP. just give the Developers sometime and I am certain they will come up with something. Beside the leaked 2.2 floating around is not really a final copy anyway so what's the point of working so hard on something that will be replace in a few days. Think all the Developers should just give themselves a beer, sit back relax to calm down their nerves so that their brains will be working at 100% when the final release come out.
Oh,

Didn't try that but does that work with 4G too? (if you didn't sign up for 4G?)

Can you give specifics of your setup? I tried the Evo-Froyo-2.2-Rooted-Stock-3.26.651.3-Deodexed ROM (with latest radio + wimax) but could not get version 2_0_5-pre4 to work. It starts wifi tethering BUT my laptop cannot find /discover it.
Thanks.

Me too.. yes sir.. it no work
he is probably on cm6. you cant really compare the two roms since sprint has its hand in locking up a native feature of the device for profit. we probably need the kernel tweaked by one of the devs in order to get this working.
Yeah, my laptop cannot see it either.

Everyone with an Evo on Sprint is "signed up" for 4G. It may not be available where you are at, but you are paying for it and "signed up" for it.
i ended up purchasing pdanet for tethering. was only 18.95. to be honest this phone is great, but we all know the battery's shortcomings. im ok with killing 2 birds with one stone by tethering usb and charging the phone at the same time . Any solution is cheaper than sprint's recurring tethering charge.
Does pdanet allow tethering over 4g in a 2.2 rom? If so, what speeds are you getting?
This issue may effect more than just sprint GNex users, i'm not sure. Ever since 4.2.1 has hit our developers hands i've had nothing but issues tethering my internet. Unfortunately for me tethering is my only means of internet, so this poses quite a problem for me. One easily solved by going back to a 4.1.x rom, but who whats to downgrade, what's the fun in that?? I have messed around with different 4.2 roms and found a few that act differently and i'm hoping that the devs can collaborate and get a system together what works flawlessly like 4.1 did.
First rom up: Paranoid Android 2.99 PIE 4.
No tethering at all on this rom. Tethering turns on and technically works fine but there is an error with SecPhone.apk and data is dropped on phone until tethering is turned off.
2nd Rom: Black Bean 7.
Half-ass tethering. Tethering runs well enough at first, but any drop in data, and my phone can't reestablish a data connection. Again causing a problem with SecPhone.apk.
3rd Rom: CMK v2.
Tethering seems to function flawlessly on this rom. Connection reestablishes after a call just like it should. I'm hoping that whatever this dev did to make the tethering work we can get on all of our 4.2.1 roms.
So my next question. Can I fix the issue by installing CMK's SecPhone to PA and have tethering working? Does the problem lay in the SecPhone app or is it just an innocent bystander crashing when something other go haywire?
Try sourcery rom. Has the tethering capabilities of cmk and all the features if PA plus much more. Auto hide navbar and keep screen off when plugging in charger are a few exclusive features with many more.
Okay so i flashed the ROM and no other bugs other than the fact that where I live I get such crappy signal that i depend on wifi calling so turning that off is NOT an option. I keep getting the IPService has stopped running any other suggestions to make it stop/fix?? Keeps going even after fix permissions and turn wifi off and back on.... I would post under the ROM but apparently I havent asked enough questions to get to do that.. Sorry for understanding instructions ....
OMG
Okay so either no one has an answer or they think that I am an idiot. the obvious answer for me is to go back to my prior ROM of choice but I like this ROM and would like to give it a fair shake but I do need my wifi calling intact. In my home (the apparent second circle of hell) I get crappy Tmo reception so I depend on wifi to push my calls through. I tried flashing another kernel but the wifi calling is not kernel dependent. Is there something that is being worked on????? Or shoudl i just give up and go back to my old rom?
I don't think anyone thinks you're stupid. I can tell you that I've never seen this error before. Have other people reported this issue?
I dont have wifi to test but you could download the modified mms.apk and see if that helps you. Let me know if the problem still there after that
i just flshed today.. and i get this all day long.. while on facebook... and just having my phone on.. i dont think its an app it might be bad coding?

the message is only when wifi calling is checked regular wifi works fine when unchecking wifi calling ip message goes away. This ROM is great its fast and battery life is good would like to use this rom but wifi calling is important to me because and to many others if you find time in version 3 to make wifi calling work that would be great. Is there anything that we can do to make this service work something that needs to installed or modified? Where do we get this modified mms.apk when searching for this it only mentions modified mms.apk for AOSP ROM's? Will the AOSP modified mms.apk work on this ROM? Thank you so much for all you do and time to make ROM's.

If your looking for the modified mms look under themes and apps .
As for the ip service me and gypsy214 are currently working on an update for universe s4 and also multiwindow for stock rom

Does anyone know if T-Mobile WiFi calling can be enabled on the vanilla Android S4 when it comes out. I was wondering if it is technically possible.
This is the only thing that's holding me from getting the stock Android S4 (when it comes out) instead of the T-Mobile S4.
From what I've read, the nexus 4 from Google doesn't support it, so I assume the dev version s4 would be the same since it is a T-Mobile feature. I also believe a lot, if not all, roms does not support this feature. I could be wrong, so someone with more experience pls chime in.

If you really value WiFi calling (and I assume you are with T-Mobile now), I don't even know why you don't just go ahead
and buy the T-Mobile S4. There is almost zero advantage the AOSP S4 will have over T-Mo S4.
Maybe you didn't want to root your phone, but then I figure, WiFi probably will not be included on the AOSP version,
and even if there was a way, you would need to root the phone regardless to flash the ROM/MOD.
In the end, I really see the T-Mo S4 as your best bet, as I can guarantee 99% you can flash AOSP ROM with all its features
more easily to a T-Mo S4 than to flash the WiFi calling feature unto an AOSP S4.
I currently have the Nexus S on T-Mobile. My two key features are Wi-Fi Calling and Wi-Fi Hotspot / Tethering. Hotspot/Tethering works great on the Nexus S, and there is no extra charge for it.
Wi-Fi Calling has never been provided for the Nexus S, and nobody has been able to figure out how to add it, so I'm thinking about upgrading to the GS4.
I see two approaches to meet my needs:
1) Buy the T-Mobile version, but have to root it and maybe load new ROMs to eliminate the unwanted carrier apps etc. I'm assuming T-Mobile would not directly offer free tethering like the Nexus S on their phone. I'm aware various apps promise to enable this, but I'm not sure about how well they work. Also, would loading alternate ROMs then cause the Wi-Fi calling capability to be lost?
2) Buy the Google developer version of the GS4. It presumably provides tethering like the Nexus S, but wouldn't have the Wi-Fi calling. Will that be impossible to add later as it was with the Nexus S, or is the GS4 Google version close enough to the T-Mobile version that somebody could port the app?
Advice or suggestions?
Devs have been trying to get WiFi calling going for quite some time. It's closed source and tied into T-Mobile somehow. I know its very complicated. It sucks because I'm used to aosp ROMs but I can't give up WiFi calling because my service is so terrible at home/work.
I know developers are still working on it. If they can get the sensors, ir blaster, and WiFi calling on AOSP I'll never look back. Given the fact that the Nexus GS4 will be Vanilla Android I'm almost positive carrier apps won't be installed. If they don't have the sensors working it'll be a downgrade from tw in my opinion.

The problem with porting WiFi calling to non stock ROMS is that the APK requires all sorts of libs to be installed with it.
It's been done before though. CM7 and CM9 releases for various devices had WiFi calling once the lib situation was figured out. And it worked great.
For other devices it was a matter of pulling the APK and the associated libs from a stock rom, keeping everything to still be recognized as though it was installed on the stock ROM, and putting it into a CM rom.
It was accomplished before. I'd be shocked if it doesn't get accomplished again.
XDA Devs are smarter than Carrier Devs!
I started using ILWT's CM7 rom not really knowing what I was getting into. It works great but 80% of my life is outside of cell range and I rely heavily on wifi calling.
The stock G2 wifi calling app no longer works (which apparently everyone knows). I tried using tmobile's crappy Tmobile bobsled app which was a waste of time.
How do I get my wifi calling/texting back? preferably one that uses my phone number like the stock one did. I've searched around seen people refering to links in their signatures that are no longer there but nothing else.
Please help, I'd rather not go back to stock but will if I have to.

CM7.2 has wifi calling as does a some of the sense 2.1 and sense 3.0. There is a version out there for ICS (I use it all the time), but there is no wifi calling for JB.
What I will do is go back and look on my archive of info and see if I can find a wifi calling add-on that works with ILWT

**UPDATE** added the file I have might work.
