I know there are reasons for not having it in our phone with ICS but many T-mobile users use this product frequently. I noticed that my lg g2x has ics roms available that have wifi calling. And was wondering how this is possible considering there are no tmo phones with ics and wifi calling. And if the g2x has it on ics then we shouldn't be far from getting it in ICS for our galaxy s2. It is integrated in our galaxy s2 and the g2x still uses the app. So the app has been made to work in Ics. I personally don't care if it is the app or integrated.
This is just my observation. Didn't know if anyone else noticed other Tmobile phones with ics and wifi calling.

Unfortunately, TMo bakes wifi calling into the ROM. Therefore, until TMo releases ICS, there is a 99.99% probability that there will be no ICS roms with wifi.

But I just started that lg g2x has ics with wifi calling. but it uses the app instead of integrated. that's it. So there its a Tmobile phone with ics and wifi calling. But it is in the g2x

Also the hd2 has wifi calling. Not even a Android phone. The app would be the easiest to adapt.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Correction: TMo baked wifi calling into the 989 rom with 2.3.6.
So again, there will be no wifi calling on ICS roms for this phone (Hercules) until TMo releases ICS for this phone.

So they only reason is because it was baked in instead if an app?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Yes, with the new phones T-Mo has started to use IMS based wifi calling. It is integrated into the OS, instead of an external app like they used on other phones in the past.
The app based wifi calling still works. So would it be possible to adapt the app to work on our phone? Considering they have got the wifi app working on so many other devices that never had wifi calling.

Exactly I think its a legitimate start. G2x has wifi calling and ics. But the s2 had only had integrated wifi calling. So adapting the app to work with or phone us what its needed. It is already ics compatible

Yeah, I'd really love to get it working. The best I've gotten it is it'll let you make / accept calls ~50% of the time with a good chance of going into a bad state and yet unmeasured general radio performance problems.
A lot of the patches out there just don't work -- they don't have enough in the build.props modifications. The most successful attempts I've seen modify the build.props to spoof the build ID and stuff.
Also most of the patches I've seen are missing GanOptimizer.apk which is used for Wifi Calling app.

Sorry, but that is not correct. I have a G2X and my wi-fi calling works with Hellfire Sandwich, Eaglesblood, and CM9.

I have my google voice number for life and the quality on my groove ip over wifi is superior to cellular. I had to tweak the groove settings to get a decent call quality though. I dont use my tmobile number. Complete throw away number that I usually change anyway. To each their own I guess.
I use Google Voice number for texts as well.

I have an unlocked galaxy nexus running Franco r364. I just bought a Samsung arm chrome book and it will see the nexus Wi-Fi hotspot but will not connect. It let me tether however for a while then blocked it. I have the unlimited data no tethering plan. Does anyone know how to bypass the tethering block or know how I can get the chromebook to connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot. I've researched and found tether bypasses such as clock work tether that work for PC or Mac but not chrome OS anyone experiencing the same issue or have found a solution. Thanks in advance.

Use the stock teethering feature in android.
T-mobile doesn't have software blocking your device because it's not T-mobile firmware but rather stock google.
you need to enable teethering on your device.
verify that your APN TYPE in your APN settings says "default,supl,dun,mms"
that should enable teethering on your stock device.

I think he's trying to say that you should use the stock wireless tethering hotspot function instead of a third party app. Also to modify the APN with the parameters he provided

I added the "dun," in and my computer is telling that it cannot connect to the network. Am I don't something wrong? That's with the Wi-Fi tether. I can connect with the USB tether, but I can't access the internet. I get a message from T-Mobile saying, "Turn your Smartphone into a Mobile Hotspot! Share your smartphone's high-speed internet connection […]." I can't move beyond this webpage, either. Ugh. This sucks. :-/

The way they catch you is by the UAString. On their side, it makes it look like a desktop is using your data and hence the reason you get blocked. Not too familiar with Chrome OS, but see if there are any add ons for chrome that will change the UA String( User Agent String)

I got a family plan with unlimited calls and text. I had 5gb data with hot spot but they recently came out with the uncapped unlimited data and igot it because I knew I was rooted and could still tether. Guess they caught on because as of Feb 1st it keeps redirecting to T-Mobile. I can still get away with it on my ps3 though that's about it.

I have this problem too, almost. I have the Sprint variant and I don't get redirected to a site on my Samsung ARM CB.
When on any Jellybean rom, my CB sees the built in hotspot from the gnex but says it can't connect to it. Works perfectly on cm9.1, although only when the hotspot is an open network. I honestly can't believe 2 Google devices won't work together.

Switching to an Android use agent works
Since I bought a Samsung Chromebook in July, I had no trouble using my T-Mobile $30 5GB plan to tether to it . . . until today.
I was unhappy until I switched user agents to an Android user agent. A couple (Android 4.0.2 for Galaxy Nexus & Chrome for Android Tablet) different user agents did the trick.
I'm on the $70 prepaid monthly with T-Mobile and I'm at over 15GB of high-speed data with no throttle/cap/dreaded EDGE default. Also, my phone (GSM Galaxy Nexus) operates at 2G, 3G, AND 4G. The downside to this excellence is T-Mobile does not allow tethering for the $70/unlimited plan (sad face). I asked them why and they simply responded with: "If you'd like to use the tether and hotspot services, you need to downgrade your plan from unlimited to [x amount of GB]… once you've reached/exceeded x amount of GB, you will be throttled." My phone's "high-speed internet" is my computer's as well -- since I have no ISP (sigh) -- so I have to tether, but I REFUSE to be throttled like some insubordinate child. I've been using some app called Orbot along with PDANet to hide my tethering activities from T-Mobile, but it's only USB-tether that is hidable (epic sad face). Also, every so often it'll shut off (in the middle of WHATEVER you're doing) and prompt you to restart the service -- how annoying. If anyone knows of any ways to resolve/work around this issue, please respond to this or send me a PM ASAP.
Thanks in advance!

I asked for fixes, not backlash, dude. You don't know a person's circumstances to tell them to "stop being so cheap." You should work on your communication skills. And have you misread what I typed? I cannot get a tethering plan with the plan I'm on with T-Mobile ($70 unlimited). I'd pay for an ISP if I were able to, but I cannot (hence my post...). The way that I'm doing it is okay, I guess. I probably need to find a way to stop my phone from getting so daggone hot when using PDAnet's tethering, though.
Last question to you, dude: do you know of any threads that teach everything about kernels (how to configure them for optimum performance; how to determine whether it's better suited for, or compatible with, a specific ROM [like ParanoidAndroid 3.0, for example]; the basics; etc.)? Also, do you know which is the best for a heavy, heavy user (my screen is always on and my phone is always in my hand)?
Thanks in advance,
Dee.

To better answer/consolidate the above replies:
When you are on 3G data (watching a youtube video, on the web browser, etc) you will still get phone calls, however the data connection will stop to allow the phone call to take place. You will also be able to receive text messages however the data will stop for a brief second (the phone actually goes to 1x for a brief second)
When you are on 4G LTE, you can make phone calls with no problem. The data connection will remain active and you can talk at the same time.

Yes you still get calls. Unless you enable DDTM from settings. Which sends calls straight to vm if you're on active data.

This is not entirely Samsung's fault. This is a 3g CDMA radio tech problem requiring SVDO being needed....and Samsung making a multi-carrier handset that has identical hardware.
And yes you can talk and surf so long as you either have LTE and 3g available or have wifi and 3g available.

I've read a few times and I'm a bit confused. You say it's a 3G CDMA radio tech problem requiring SVDO and Samsung making a multi-carrier handset that had identical hardware. Ok.. Wasn't the GS3 a multi-carrier handset with identical hardware? It handles it fine on Sprint's 3G.
The other thing that has me confused was when you said:

And this is the exact answer I needed to hear. That explains it thoroughly. Which brings me to my next question. Why didn't they go with the qualcomm instead of going backwards? It's like technology advances for CDMA 3G and then Samsung decides to take a step backwards.
Edit: Nevermind I got my answer. Sprint/Samsung sacrificed SVDO for WCDMA support instead. At least that's what I'm getting from researching.

Yes I picked that up when researching and people saying is the processor, but sgr4u and a few others speculated it really was put aside for WCDMA support for faster 3G due to the placing if antennas. Which to me makes perfect sense because if Samsung can get LTE to work on their chips what's SVDO to them?

No it doesn't. Sprint hasn't had that since the S3 and single band LTE.
It will likely be a year or more till they get that type of thing up and running on their new phones and it is doubtful the Note 4 would ever have it, because it isn't just a simple software upgrade needed. There are hardware issues also.
That shouldn't be a reason to not buy it though. As I said before unless you are getting an S3 no new sprint phone is going to have that capability.

Ok great, and my phone right now is an S3, and I did not have the info on the Note 2 or 3 but I assumed they didn't have it. My mistake. So they do it also. My point is that no new Sprint phone will do it that has the Tri-Band LTE Spark network. It has to do with the hardware. So if you want a phone that does this you need to get a non Tri-Band/Spark phone. The trade off isn't worth it in my humble opinion because being able to use Tri-band LTE where I live will greatly fix some of the LTE capacity issues I am having right now on my S3.
Until Sprint does VoLTE (probably not until late 2015 to early 2016) this won't be possible. You can still do non-LTE data simultaneously just not LTE.
Let's keep it civil in here guys - don't make me come back for more cleaning or I'll close this thread.
I also moved it to Q&A since it's a question - please post in appropriate sections.
Thank you.

For last month I used about 3 minutes of talk time. Voice is actually not important to me at all but I know when Spark was launched it was discovered that Data/Voice could not be simultaneous and it upset alot of people. One of the unfortunate limitation of Spark.

Just my 2 cents. Any phone on 4G LTE on the sprint network can do voice and data at the same time. 3G you cannot unless it is the S3 because of the SVDO chip which has been discussed by others.

this makes sense that simultaneous data and voice will not work over Spark. If the third channel is one use by 3G, which is use to make the data more reliable. 3G was not possible to have voice and data at the same time on Sprint.
Not that I use voice very often, I can see this being a slight irritation from time to time. Although, you'll be able to use voice and WiFi since they're two different radios.
If I didn't already buy this phone this would be a huge deal breaker for me. I didn't realize I would not be able to talk and surf. I do that all the time. I use my data and phone all the time. I hated having a 3g phone not because of the slow speeds but because I couldn't talk and surf without wifi. How does this affect google maps while talking?

I don't understand your point. I use my bluetooth all the time so I can talk and surf. Why would I need to do one or the other unless the current tech doesn't allow me to do more?
I think in the case of navigation and voice, navigation caches the data it needs and allows voice calls during the process, just don't talk for hours while trying to get somewhere. ..lol
