Just curious about this question - because I would really want to use this with T-Mobile.
So, a few days ago I noticed that an aquintance of mine was using an ATT Samsung Note with T-Mobile. I asked him - but you are only getting Edge (2G), right? So he says - "No! I flashed the GSM version modem, and I am getting HSPA+ (4G)", or whatever you call it.
I was shocked! Amazing solution.
Do we have this?
Thanks
No. The AT&T model is completely different in terms of SoC.. their radios will not work for us. You can do like I am and use it on T-Mobile with an accompanying hotspot. Really not bad.

Thank you ! So making calls, texts, MMS is all fine, but DATA will only work on EDGE (2G)?
Also, what is "hotspot"?
Thanks again!

Yes sir, and I have found 2G is not nearly as bad as I once thought. A hotspot is just a device that gets 3G and broadcasts it as a wifi signal that your phone can use for data. On the T-Mobile website they are under "Mobile Broadband"

Hello,
I was wondering if there is any Jelly Bean roms that support Wifi calling. I need Wifi calling where I work because I get no reception in my office.
Or is there any other roms that is recommended that has Wfi calling?
Thanks for any help.
Why not use Viber? It uses your mobile number as the ID and anyone else using Viber can make a free VOIP call to you.

Aosp ROMs (cm, aokp) currently don't have actual WiFi calling as its something that runs deeper in tw ROMs other than an apk

And therefore is completely different than WiFi calling.

Wi-Fi calling is a TMobile creation thus must be cooked into the rom base by TMobile. Since we dont have a TMobile release for JB for the T989 the answer would be no.
And to reiterate what the poster above me said, wifi calling is more than VOIP.
WiFi Calling / Using WiFi to Surf?
I have no doubt this may be a stupid question, but if I was to use one of the Jelly Bean ROMS and lose wifi calling, does that also mean that I could not connect to the web via wifi?
Thank you in advance for any help. This is a deciding factor for me.
I am using the Galaxy S2 t989 Hercules.
No JB has WiFi fixes just make sure you read before you flash but most of them all have WiFi :thumbup: good luck

Are you saying there is/are jb rom(s) without working wifi?? I'm just asking cause who on earth would flash such a thing....or even release a rom for jb with no wifi considering all the awesome roms we have with wifi working perfectly fine.
Just curious....really! Not trying to crack wise with you! Lol

They could be ROMs in the making. You know betas

OK then, since WiFi calling seems to be in the DNA of the T-Mobile ROM what app is best for users whom do not have the same service? Doesn't telus have WiFi and didn't they get jellybean awhile ago? Please correct me if I am mistaken........

You could use Google Voice.

Well, the discussion about Google voice would be a whole new issue. The bottom line is, its different than TMo wifi calling.
As far as Bell getting an update...might want to browse the official jelly-bean sticky for that info.
I am in the same situation, and use wifi calling at home. The problem with GV and other services like that, is that you won't receive calls to your Tmobile number when you don't have signal. You can only call out on the phone, which will use your GV number when you do. Unless you give everyone your GV number, but for me that wasn't very practical, since I've had my T-mo number for over 10 years (ported from my old home phone #).
So, if you have no signal and want to use wifi, people wanting to get a hold of you will have to call your GV number instead of your Tmobile number. As far as taking over your phone, GV has an option to use the GV number for every call, so it sorta does take over. But if you click no, you can manually enable/disable GV when you use it. I think it asks you every time you make a call, which was kinda annoying, as was enabling/disabling GV every time I was connected to wifi.
On top of that, just about every one of those apps I tried other than GV, had poor quality and/or call echo issues. Even the ones with echo cancellation didn't work well in my experience.
So I just went back to t-mo based ROMs that had wifi calling built in, and it's much easier for me.
I'm basically in the same boat. Both of my houses have complete dead spots and very little to 1 bar of reception if ever. I heavily rely on wifi-calling.
So has any JB 4.2/4.3 ROMs popped up yet with Wifi-Calling? Does anyone know of any sort of gains in figuring it out?
Nope....only touchwiz roms.

I would love to do it if someone could point me in the right direction compare the ICS tmobile version with a standard touchwiz ICS code and find the difference. Once the difference has been found inject that into the jellybean. In theory that should work

If it was doable, it would have been done by now. Don't ya think?
Sent from my cellular telephone
I am inclined to agree but to a point. In the end it's still code, someone had to create it and inject it into the official tmobile ROMS there for it can be reverse engineered. I would suspect that it's such a tedious task that it hasn't been done. To find the several lines of code the amount of effort wasn't worth the time to invest especially since you could copy and past

Sounds like it is a carrier issue. Contract T-Mobile and virgin and see if they can help. Is there someone else you know with virgin? If so, try with them.

Hi,
Carrier : Rogers Canada.
Rom tried : pure Kat and slimbean 6.2
Problem : Voicemail indicator ( at the top bar) doesn't appear when I receive a voicemail. I dont receive sms.
Observation :Works on iphone (rogers) and a LG optimus 3D rooted custom rom (at&t).
APN setting are the same for 3 phones.
VM number are the same for 3 phones.
How can I get VM notifications on the DZ?
Thank you
Strange, does this happen on sense ROMs too?

well, I never tried. Its my next step I guess.
It might be caused by the radio?
Those would be my testing steps, return to stock or try another sense ROM and try some other radios, its doubtful the sim is at fault here but sometimes getting a new one from carrier (which is free) can help

Well, I used the same sim for testing on other devices, and it worked.
I can't say if it ever worked when the phone was new, because I've changed the carrier.
thanks for your help.
Can someone help me ? I am on Tmo I have a verizon htc one m8 and have arhd 8.1 and everything works great. The only thing I am having an issue with is is take 15-25 seconds before it starts ringing. I have it on GSM/WCDMA/LTE. I think it's having trouble from switching to LTE to H.
Could be Rom related but most likely it's due to being a vz phone. The pure tmo one rings within a second

I doubt that I have used vz factory unlocked phones on tmobile with no problem. The only difference between the tmo and vz is the 1700 band. Where I live 90% of the area is re-farmed.
Back to stock and check it out
