[Q] looking for a good custom ROM supports WIFI calling. - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I just got my samsung s3 from t-mobile. There are alot apps preinstalled by t-mobile, they suck, and I never use them. I want to get rid of them and have a clean system. The problem is I have no signal at home, especially in my basement. I need wifi calling. did alot research on google. coudln't find any custom rom that supports wifi calling.
I just want to know if there's a decent rom I can use that provides wifi calling. If possible, good battery life as well.

Any t999 rom that is a TouchWiz base will have WiFi calling available. Test them out yourself and see which you like. Everyone has their preferences and might not meet yours. They are all pretty much debloated and themed to the cooks liking so you just have to pick which you like.

Wifi calling

Does anyone have the problems below with Wifi Calling? If so what are your solutions or suggestions?
1) Pretty bad echo, with voice cutting in and out, seems to be an issue for me but not the person I am talking to.
2) The phone connects and just hangs up immediately when on wifi calling, I have to turn off and use the network.
I am on FreeGS3 R5 and Trinity A37 kernel.
It is really frustrating that wifi calling has issues, I rely on it heavily at work and home as T-Mobile has pretty crappy reception.

WiFi calling sucked for me with this phone. Never tested it with stock, just with redrum sonic rom and trinity kernel.

I'm stock rooted. When I pick up calls sometimes they can't hear me. It also drops calls.

Hmmm, for me wifi calling works really well. I use it everyday at home and at work, and while I wouldn't say it's as reliable as a cellular connection it's pretty close.

That was my issue I had full WiFi bars was within 15ft of my router but it always cut in and out, my g2x was way better then this but I don't need WiFi calling that much. Just at work.

I know Samsung rushed some of these phones, I guess all S 3's are not created equal.
Looks like a lot of people have issues with wifi calling, those who don't seem to be a lucky minority.
It's flawless for me. On stock Rom and kernel. Might be an issue specific to a Rom or kernel. Maybe try and figure what it works with and what it doesn't and then we can try to track down the issue.

To be honest, WiFi calling quality has never been great for me on the many T-Mobile branded Android phones I have owned over the years. WiFi calling on my Blackberry back in the day was perfect and of superb quality.
Wifi works fine on my GSIII, though the voice quality is muddy sometimes.
Stock rom and kernal.
Two things,
How you have your router configured can have a huge impact on how well wifi calling works. Read into QoS and configure accordingly.
Second, some parts of the country are served by some back-end hardware that is having some issues.
And yes it has problems, but which other wireless carrier does it better?
Didn't have any problems on stock kernel, switched to trinity 37 and had the in and out voice, tried faux kernel and it is better again. Stock rom otherwise

I could do QoS better with a switchboard than most home routers.

mine was fine for the first couple of weeks use, but started having problems after. when i pick up a call, the screen freezes most of the time, the other times when it actually picks up the call-the other caller can't hear me but i can hear them, not to mention the echoes as well. called tmo tech support a couple of times with no avail except to tell me to do a warranty exchange of the device. i sure do miss my gs2 on this part.
Can you change WifiCalling settings?
Is it possible to change he apn etc in the wificalling function? I am UK need based and want to buy and unlock a US-T-mobile and use it with Orange UK wifi settings (and Orange sim)
Orange, the only WIFI Calling carrier here, sell the S3 without Wifi calling... If you guys have a better work around to suggest I would love to hear.
Thx!
I had issues with calls cutting out really bad when I was on FreeGS3, but I was also on Trinity 37 kernel, so that could have been it. I'm on Wicked Blue ROM now, it comes with a Trinity kernel, and my Wi-Fi calling is excellent...as is the ROM!

You know that this seems to be a kernel issues, A37 seems to have issues with wifi calling, the Wicked Blue Rom has A23. I just flashed the Faux009 kernel and tested wifi calling and no issues now.
the wifi calling really so bad, i use stock rom
Honestly I heavily rely on wifi calling and it's pretty crummy on my GS3.
It used to suck on my Sensation as well and I think I found the solution. I logged into my.t-mobile account online and updated my 911 address and voila wifi calling is always solid on the Sensation. Does not seem to have had the same impact on the GS3. Might be something worth looking into though.
If this helps let us know and hit the thanks button.
I will say that it does seem to be better after flashing the Wicked ROM (in blue). Connects faster and stays connected. Was able to answer a call the other day.

Try this:
Root phone and flash Trinity Kernel 45b. I was on stock and the other kernels and had a lot of issues with wifi. Now everything is fine. Web pages FLY!!!!!! I tried wifi calling with a really crappy wifi router and it still worked! Definitely try this version of the kernel.

You definitely have to get off that thing. The wifi sucks on stock so much. Maybe leave stock rom but try the trinity kernel 45b. Epic wifi.

There have been some outages and such lately but there is something ****ty in the phone when it comes to wifi and wifi calling. On stock it was working ****ty at work with crappy router that was slow but everything at least connects to it. This phone wouldn't connect or stay connected and wifi calling didn't work at all. Once I tried trinity kernel 45b, it's flying. When I mean flying, I mean that my computer core i7 with 16GB of ram can't even touch it. It's not running overclocked either, just stock cpu speed but damn it's flying!!!

Question about Wifi Calling

I have noticed that all the JB roms do not have wifi calling and there was a thread in the ROM section about wifi calling and getting it to work. An Author of one of more popular ROMS for our device came out and said not to ever excpect wifi calling as a feature. My question is why aren't we seeing wifi calling in the newer ROMS. I was a little hesitant to ask this question cause I feel like i'm going to get flamed by seniors, but I honestly don't know the reason and it seems like everyone else does, so i'm curious. I don't have a problem with it because I'm using an ICS rom that does have Wifi calling, I was just wondering whether the issue was a technical hurdle in getting it working on newer ROMS, or is it just a PITA to get it working? just wondering, no complaining
From what I understand its only in official T-Mobile based roms cause no one has yet figured out how to pull it and use it in other roms like CM, AOKP...
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Tmo has also switched over to the ims system for wifi calling on android. All new devices need to use that system to wifi call. And taking that info and molding it into asop/aokp roms is simply a pain that most people don't want to delve into. If you want wifi calling you may want to stick to a modded stock rom. At least if you are on tmo...if not i think there are a couple apps that assist in VoIP calling

[Q] Universe S4 Rom IPService has stopped

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

[Q] Stock Android S4 and T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling

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!

Wifi Calling Help

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.
