I have a sprint S3, my buddy just got a s3 and is on Tmobile while showing him some stuff on his phone I noticed they have a setting for wifi calling in there settings.. It allows him to use his data connection to receive and make calls when he has low cellular signal. I can't find this anywhere on the sprint version. This would be extremely helpful at work when I have no signal.

That is only natively available on T-mobile phones. I wish it was available for us too, that would be cool.

Would it be possible to port it? Or is there an app that would do the same thing?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I've never done it, but there's a way to do it with a combination of Google Voice and a VOIP app.
As far as porting it, I'm not a device so I wouldn't know. I think it has more to do with how t-mobile handles it rather than something that's actually on the phone.

I actually do have Google voice integrated what voip app would I need?

Only app I know of that would be useful here is groove ip. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snrblabs.grooveip&hl=en
Ok if i have the sprint integration of Google voice on my phone? and i download Groove i should be able to use my cell number over wifi?
*on a side note what is the advantages of google voice with sprint integration?
I feel like I saw that feature on ICS and then it went away in JB.

Hey guys. I'm currently using a gnex running cm10 euroskank nightlies. I have searched the forums and Google but alas no results.
Even with Youmail set to delete messages after one day, and even if I delete a voicemail in the app, I'm still having trouble. For instance if I shuffle all songs in Apollo, voice mails that are old and were deleted just start playing!
This was quite embarrassing with friends in the car... I ran into a gas station and one friend got to hear some pretty nasty things said by the other... Which turned into a physical fight and the police being involved.... Haha all because of you mail!
I feel like it was the makings for one of those directv commercials....

Wow that stinks. its more of an issue with the youmail app. My friend just switched to android and is having issues with the youmail app, but sync issues instead. It seems like this app is poor and needs work.
Bump

Why not just use Google voice

Call them up and tell the to turn off you vm and then set your phone to forward to your gv number.

Thank you for the reply!
Wait. So I *72 to my gv #? Because if I'm doing that then why would I need to call vzw to disable their voice mail?

I just tried to send my buddy a pic while talking to him, and it wouldn't send until we hung up. Plain text went through just fine. Anyone else have this issue?
Sent from my LT28h using xda app-developers app
I think most phones tend to disable the use of your mobile internet during a call, my S3 does. It's not a fault. It's just that pictures need to be uploaded before they can be received.
Thanks, I would have sworn I have done it before.

With AT&T you should still be able to use your mobile data while on a call. Verizon and sprint did not allow it (CDMA limitation) LTE is supposed to fix that issue for verizon and sprint though I believe. I'll see if I can try it on my ion sometime.
Works on At&t while in call. At&t has always allowed this.
Sent from my LT28at using xda app-developers app
Hmmm. Doesn't work for me for some reason. I plan on reflashing again this weekend, maybe that will fix it, and some other minor issues I have.
Sent from my LT28h using xda app-developers app
It could simply be a phone setting. on my i777 when I'm sending anything and then get or make a call I get a data error until I hang up I never bothered trying to work it out its not a problem I see often as i don't try to call and text
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Ok I will be going to a place where no company gets signal, meaning I can't roam, but I will still have Wifi so I'm wondering what, if I can, do i have to do in order to get Wifi texting? I will and am running CM10 M2.
Thanks

Best thing I would do is use a free text service like text free since it uses data only.

Use Google voice with your current number. You should be able to text. But no mms

Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Nothing special just select to use your current number. I would sign up using a pc though. Far more options and easier to navigate. And then download the app and sign in with your login. G voice is an great service I don't know why more people don't use it

That one costs $2.99/month for the service. The regular Zipwhip app works, and it's free to use.

Personally I would just use google voice. Just download > link it to your sprint number > done. Only thing is google voice can't receive mms messages, like pictures / video. But you can still text and get voice mail, and no additional cost.

You actually can receive mms messages. You just have to set up Google Voice to where you want to receive messages with your email as well.
If someone says they sent you a picture and you don't see it using Google Voice, just check your gmail. and go through the conversation and you should see an attachment.

Thank you. You made my life complete.

The Google search turns up a lot of old and incorrect info. Basically tmobile's wifi calling will allow your phone to work in conditions where there is good wifi signal available but otherwise poor/reduced/no voice signal.
It will count against your voice minutes.
Calls can be made and received in the usual way, it is transparent to you and to the calling party.
Appears to require a tmobile sim, no straight Talk, go smart, etc.

Correct, except on most plans Wi-Fi minutes do NOT come out of your bucket.

This is how I fixed it on my SkyRocket back when it was GTalk. I cannot see any of my data files because I am not rooted so I don't know if it will work for you but it wouldn't hurt to check. As you know be careful what you change.
