So I've been trying to get to where I can turn on airplane mode, then flip WiFi on and still be able to receive calls. I'm not using T-Mobile (but have the M919), so the WiFi calling feature doesn't apply. I'm using SipDroid + Google Voice with a PBXes.org account. My problem is that when people call my cell number (which is forwarded to my GV number) with my mobile service turned off they get redirected to my Google Voicemail. If, on the other hand, someone calls my GV number, my phone rings and I can answer it with SipDroid; making outgoing calls via SipDroid also work flawlessly. I have unanswered and unreachable call forwarding activated to forward calls to my GV number but it's just not working as I expect it to. Any advice?

I used Groove IP for this and the way to get it to work correctly was, I believe, to make sure that GV's settings are forwarding calls on to Google Chat. It sounds like you already have that set, since you can get direct calls to your GV number, but you might want to make sure all the settings are correct on the GV side.
I'm tired of needing touchwiz for Wifi Calling. The big question of this thread is "Can a google voice and hangouts dialer setup replace Wifi Calling?"
and how to set it up?
NOTE: I still want others to reach me on my Tmo number for voice and SMS. Where possible, I DON'T want others to see calls or SMSs from me coming from my GV number. This is what's nice about Tmo WiFi calling. It looks like you are just on the carrier network to everyone else.
What I'm trying so far:
-------Turned off wifi calling.-------
1) Keep my Tmobile number (not ported to GV) but set forwarding in the phone dialer app to forward to google voice number. This was necessary to handle voice mail in google voice before.
- Starting with "always forward" turned OFF, not sure if it should be ON or not yet because I'd think I still want my Tmo number to ring normally when Tmo coverage is OK. If coverage is bad, "unreachable" setting should forward to GV number and if I'm on Wifi, Hangouts should ring. (This part worries me and needs a lot of testing)
2) Hangouts handles SMS and the Hangouts dialer is installed.
-Hangouts SMS settings sends SMS from my Tmo number.
-Hangouts account settings for Google Voice set to ring Hangouts for incoming calls made to GV number.
Q: what happens when SMS comes into my Tmo number but I'm out of Tmo coverage on Wifi? Is there a way to forward SMS when 'unreachable" ?
Q: from what I've seen when using Wifi Calling, outbound SMSs don't send unless Tmo coverage is good. Is there any way to have Hangouts relay SMSs over a data connection? (unlikely, but want to ask)
3) Google Voice app is installed. This is still required but may soon be unnecessary.
- GV settings currently on "do not use Google Voice to make any calls"
4) When tmobile coverage is good, dial out with default dialer, When coverage is bad and I'm on Wifi, use hangouts dialer.
- I think my caller id in outbound calls would show my GV number. I don't know any way around this yet.
5) Disable 'double ring' See http://www.cnet.com/how-to/tips-for-google-voice-in-hangouts-on-android/
6) Incoming caller ID shows caller's number in GV settings under "Calls"

For those of us that use Google voice, has anyone gotten it to work on this phone, i can't dial the *28 number to link it to my Google voice number, or get the integration to work either...
Google Voice integration is fine on mine. I didn't have to change anything coming from the Nexus 6.
Neither can I. I cant disable the visual voicemail app either.
I had a nexus 5 and upgraded to the LG G5, it did not break my google voice at all. I have my sprint number ported to google voice, so they are the same number.
I do all of my modifications and changes at voice.google.com from my computer, ive had the best luck that way
you have to go into wifi calling settings and disable wifi calling (phone may reboot). then you can set up GV and after that reenable it.
drove me nuts for several days before I figured out GV and wifi calling dont get along but worjs fine if you enable wifi calling AFTER setting up GV.
you'll see page in the wifi calling settings....at the very bottom there's a link to disable wifi calling.
there are more call forward on unanswered codes for sprint, Some of my lines allow *28, while others *73 works

How do I setup my Sprint Phone Connect so that my calls forward to another number?
Call Forwarding is a function of the Sprint Network. (For immediate call forwarding, calls will incur a per minute rate). To setup Call Forwarding, first pick up the handset and wait for a dial tone.
No Answer Call Forwarding (free on the Sprint Phone Connect Plan), dial *73. To disable this feature, dial *730.
Busy Call Forwarding (free on the Sprint Phone Connect Plan), dial *74 and then the number you want to forward the call to. To disable this feature, dial *740.
Busy or No Answer Call Forwarding (free on the Sprint Phone Connect Plan), dial *28 and then the number you want to forward calls to. To disable this feature, dial *38.
Immediate Call Forwarding (Not included in the Sprint Phone Connect plan, $0.20 per minute rate), dial *72 and then the number you want to forward your calls to. To disable this feature, dial *720.
Google voice works fine for me

Well thanks for the input, it did allow me to make the forwarding work with the *73, but everything's i use *28, i get a message staying the feature code is not available, not really sure if *73, and *28 are the same, but for now it seems to work...
*73 is NOT free. You will get charged for every call that goes to voice mail...I got the bill to prove it.
You need to disable wifi calling and then *28 will work. After setting your new voice mail number (for GV) you can re enable wifi calling. When I first tried to set up GV with *28 it didn't work....said something about an invalid feature. After disabling wifi calling *28 worked.

I've tried this, i cannot dial *28 at all, with wifi calling disabled it says the feature function is not available, and the same when wifi calling is on except it says can not make this call with wifi calling...

You probably turned it off, you didn't disable it. You have to disable at at the phone service provider level, not on your phone.
try this:
system settings -> wifi calling -> update registered location
scroll down to the very bottom and you will see a link that said "disable wifi calling". select that.
after a few moments your phone will do a PRL update and may reboot. after that, install the GV app.
there's different ways to set it up depending on how much GV integration you want. I just wanted voice mail so this is what I did:
open the GV app.
it will ask you if you want to do setup or "skip". select "skip".
It will then log into your google account and access GV. then it will ask you again if you want to set up (I think it also asks if you want to use GV for voice calls, I selected "no") again, select "skip". you will not get a notice that you need to dial *28[GV number] to set up VM forwarding. Do it - it should work now.
if it still doesn't work call Sprint customer service and ask them to disable wifi calling. The operator I spoke to was aware of the GV issue and knew immediately what i wanted.
After you get *28[GV number] working you'll get a triple dial tone and hang up instead of that "feature set unavailable" message. (there may be another PRL autoupdate...I can't remember) now you can go back to wifi calling and enable it.
I have two phones linked to the same GV account an LG G3 and an LG G5. both ring when I get a call. Both forward voice mails to the GV account when someone calls the phones and leaves a VM. Both work on wifi calling and I've successfully used wifi calling from hotels in other countries and got voice mails (and even texts to the GV number) through GV. The only odd thing is that MMS messaging to GV doesn't seem to work so I get texts, but no pictures.

Thank you for the advice, and you are correct at least with part of this, I wasn't disabling wifi calling service as you stated, just turning it off, however after following the method you described, i still received the "feature code you dialed..." when using *28... So i looked into it, and found that the only one that sprint charges for is *72; *28, *73, *74 are all valid forwarding options at no charge for standard plans. I am still only able to get *73 to work, and i'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with "my" wifi calling, as i still have it disabled now, and it has been disabled now for about 4 days, but ymmv... I am currently able to use google voice, so i guess its working, and the only difference between *28, and *73 is *28 forwards busy, or unanswered calls, while *73 only forwards unanswered calls, saying that, i'm pretty sure that my phone is actually very rarely busy (as i have someone on hold and i'm on the other line), and receive another phone call... But for me i guess *73 is just gonna have to do for now...

Call yourself from another line and let it go to voicemail. See if you're being charged. In my case I saw a $0.20 charge every time a call went to voice mail. I saw that same article when I was searching for an answer (which is why I started messing around with *73 and *72). I ended up calling Sprint Customer Service and asking them to disable wifi calling for me. After I got GV set up with *23 I was able to reenable it myself from my phone. *73 only goes to voicemail if you let it ring. If your line is busy it will still go to your Sprint voice mail unless you use *72 as well.
By the time I got it figured out I was just about ready to shoot the phone.
You were using *72. *72 forwards all calls, regardless of status.
*73 + *74 are the same as *28, and all three are free. They just forward Busy and Unanswered calls.
please read the post b4 jumping to conclusion.
"No Answer Call Forwarding (free on the Sprint Phone Connect Plan), dial *73. To disable this feature, dial *730." the sprint site states its Free... if i see charges i will have them get rid of them or cancel me without the ETF for breaking my contract....
the forwarding immediately without ringing your number first is what they charge you for.
It's been a long while since I used GV integration. Does now allow emoji in txt using stock txt app? I know it would strip them long ago.
I'm not sure if the radio has voice disabled, or if there's something software-side I may have missed, but I can't seem to get calls to work over cellular.
I've tried setting config_voice_capable to true in config.xml, and I've tried using aosp_base_telephony.mk instead of aosp_base.mk; both while building LineageOS. I've gotten the dialer to show, but when I try to make a call, the Phone app instantly hangs up.
Trying to call my number doesn't give any kind of audible notification either, but if I do a adb logcat -b radio, I see that the N7 notices the call.
Edit: Not an ideal solution, but this works good enough to at least have my cellular number not totally useless:
Install a ROM with Telephony support built-in
Use a USSD code for your carrier to enable Call Forwarding to your Google Voice number
Install Hangouts and Hangouts Dialer
Anyone that calls your Google Voice number or your regular cellular number will ring your Google Voice number. When calling out, you have no choice but to use your Google Voice number.
Only way I got this to work was to use a 6.0.1 kernel and use the application Talkatone. Whether I'm on the cell network or Wifi I can do VoIP/SIP calls. Nexus 7 2012 with the nougat kernel will work with Talkatone. Problem is I can't get my 3-g unit at work over the air yet. My service provider Sim might be incompatible.
