The jelly bean update removes Internet Calling Capabilities from the Galaxy S 3.
Me as a small business owner where I am the only person I depend on this feature to be able to receive calls all the time. As am sure others of you as well, are to dependent on this feature. I'm in talks with ATT now about revising this because I have a little bit of pull with some higher ups but I know if they don't receive more complaints about this from the community and users of the Galaxy S3 ATT will never fix this issue.
So I beg of you who do need and want this feature please call ATT and start complaining. Otherwise ATT is going to keep taking these types of features from us to force us into either there or other companies pocket books to get the needed features that we are supposed to have already!!!!
What client are you using? I can use Groove Ip just fine on cm10 which is jellybean based.
It's still on the bell jelly bean update.

Jellybean like ics should have voip capabilities built into the operating system so no external app is needed and i prefer to keep it that way i dont want the lame sip apps from the app store none work like i want or need them to internet calling is in the call settings area of the phone application of the device and att took it out where sprint still has this feature

You may want to use a different app for voip that app uses 3 to 4 times the amount of bandwidth then a regular voip call thats insane

Looks like this is specific to AT&T. I have internet calling available to me on the Rogers firmware.
not updating thill this is resolved i need internet calling.. and 3rd party apps and not near as good as built in.
Any news on this?

I also noticed this.. it was very convenient having direct access to it for sip calls.. there are external clients out there, but it was seamless in ics...
This clearly is a tactic to force you to not offload calls...

What's the pros of using an app already embedded in the OS rather than Google voice or something similar?
I barely use internet calling on my phone but I do often on pc w google.
I agree AT&T shouldn't have removed it w the jb update though.

WiFi Tether from the market works best for me!
I am seeing a lot of negative comments about this app 'wifi tether' and gs III stock. It seems to indicate that it does not play well together. This is why I was asking, because this was my experience today: No consistent connection, it simply drops the tether and the app stops.
Sent from my AT100 using Tapatalk 2
Better get used to it if ur stayin stock. All that works unless u have the means to Bluetooth tether. If u can do it with Bluetooth try foxfi. Normal tether doesn't work with it yet. Also if u haven't done so, in addition to setting gnex profile in the tether app and unchecking the disable wake lock option, delete ConnectionManager.apk from /system/app. Probably the cause of your tethering woes
Thanks for confirming

WiFi Tether works for me just fine (gotta select the GNexus CDMA/LTE profile).
The only hiccup I've found is that before I activate tethering, I often need to do a fresh reboot on the GSIII, or else it will claim its broadcasting, but it really isn't.
And, of course, root IS required for this particular app.

I don't know enough about the rules on posting links so................
I did a google search for "wifi tether versions"
Down toward the bottom of the results I came across a page from the androidpolice site.
Right above the row of three screen shots is the following sentence: (If it does get pulled, however, you can always grab the apk from Here).
Click on the word "Here" and it will take you to the android-wifi-tether project home page.
Click on downloads and that will get you to where you want to be.
I am running Jelly Bean on my GS3 and have yet to be able to get wifi tether or foxfi to work at all.
I am about to start at the oldest version of wifi tether and work my way forward until I find something that works.
Until I find something stable, I will be using pdanet for wired tether. Hey, it works all day long for me.
On EDIT.............
Ignore most of the above and just google "android wifi tether project"
It will cut out most of the steps and is the first result on google.
Dang, I've been here almost two years and still considered a new member?
Had to wait 5 minutes before I could edit the post with better info.
Trust me, I'm a real person........not a spam bot!
Sure it has something to do with post count.
Any luck with older versions of wifi tether?

Work got real busy right after I made the post and I wasn't able to go through the apk's.
I have to go over to another house and do a few hours worth of work before I can really get in and mess with these.

That is incorrect. On the newest wifi tether app in the market, you set it as Samsung galaxy s3 and it works great. On 3.1 beta 14, you have to select galaxy nexus cdma

So the title says it all!
This is aimed at us GS3 owners who are fortunate enough to be running Jelly Bean thanks to Freeza...Well one of the down sides of the LJ7 JB update is that WiFi Tether no longer works for us! What a shame!!
Well I may just have a solution that will make you and your phone very very happy.
Follow the steps below:
1) Download WiFi Tether app from Play Store
2) Open app, and hit Menu, then tap Settings
3) There should be an option in Settings to configure your device with the app, in that option change Galaxy SIII to Galaxy Nexus!This worked for me and I am now enjoying the pro's of LJ7 JB while tethering like a boss! haha

**Must be rooted for this to work * *
Steps:
1. Get TrevE Mod tether app

(you will not get a internet connection using any other tether app while using the VPN app)
2. Get Hotspot Shield VPN

(was mentioned in earlier post but couldn't get it to work)
3. Start Hotspot Shield VPN and connect
4. Start TrevE Mod Tether app
Problems?
Hotspot Shield does not connect or you get error 1028?
Get Tun.Ko from market and install it
Repeat step 3 and 4

In TrevE Mod tether app go to settings and select Device profile and select Generic ICS/JB wanl0 . Now select setup and select Netd-Ndc master . Check box that says send Nets Max client . Check box WiFi-Reloads driver 2 . Check Routing fix .You may need to change ssid too .

T-Mobile can still tell you're tethering via user agent . It's only a matter of time before you get the text or have to use a user agent switcher. If you use the VPN your data is encrypted and tmobile can't snoop through your data .

So what if you set up a VPN through an NAS or router on your home network, and used the vpn software built into the phone. The S3 comes with two built in vpn clients, the native android vpn client, and the Authentec one in the app drawer pre installed by samsung. (does anyone have any opinion on differentiation between the two by the way)
I would test this myself right now, but havent set up the VPN capabilities of my home NAS, and wont be home for several days. But am really curious about this now.
I have in the past used a VPN through my old work work to netflix and hbogo and use my Play Music acount abroad, so I have high hopes for this idea.
Someone please test. I'm dying to know. I'll play and post when I get back.

Any tips on what settings you messed with? I'm having the same problems.
I am pretty sure that T-Mobile gives wifi calling to all customers as long as your device supports it.
I have the Samsung Note 2 and really miss the Wi-Fi calling since I have been flashing different Rom's. I have terrible service at home so it is really convenient to have the Wi-Fi calling.
There are now two versions of MIUI for the Samsung T-Mobile Note 2 both of which have not supported Wi-Fi calling.
Does anyone know a work around to get Wi-Fi calling working on MIUI?
All phones can pretty much support wifi calling however not all software can support it. Aosp and miui do not support wifi calling. Devs have been working on getting Wifi calling to work on aosp/miui roms. Some older phones like the mytouch 4g got wifi calling working for aosp roms. Best bet would be to download custom rom based off touch wiz and apply a theme and custom launcher and in your case it would be mi home launcher.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Good advice. I just always live miui ROMs. They are snappier and have great features. I guess I have to weigh those things over having WiFi calling. Thanks

This was great advice. I found a stock Rom that was odexed in the forums and I still have root access. I didn't realize that I could have root access without a custom ROM. The stock Rom has really good features and is very snappy. Also, I didn't know that I could have the MIUI theme on top of the stock touchwiz ROM. I'm using mihome with the superman theme. So happy with my phone now. Everything works right and it looks great.

It was very laggy and it wouldn't answer half of the calls on four different wifi networks... refunded that one. My business is too important to miss calls because of third party software failures.
Never had that issue in Afghanstain I did but thats because Sat Internet has a latency of the 800ms so anything is going to have an issue carrier or not carrier. Spent time in Germany also and used it for two weeks and never once had a hiccup
I ported my phone to straight talk from sprint and my data is working but the speeds are very slow. Straight talk told me to manually enter APN settings they provided me but it's not where it is supposed to be under the mobile networks settings. LG support told me it should be there and if it's not that Sprint has removed, hidden or disabled it. Does anyone know how to access APN settings on this phone?

I'm not sure because Ive never had to do it on this phone. I know Sprint has removed/hidden/disabled it. Certain 3rd party messaging apps will allow you to change the apn settings but I dont think it's system wide. I'm not by my phone currently so I cant test this right now but we do have a hidden menu. From your phone dial 3845#*970# to access the hidden menu.
If apn settings aren't in there you could always try a different rom. You would have to be rooted and unlocked with a custom recovery but most of them will allow you to change the apn settings. If you go that route, head over to the original development section for our phone and read the root guide by engine95 found there VERY CAREFULLY. Sorry if this isn't much help but like I said, Ive never had to do this because I'm still on Sprint Stock.
I tried some apps but they don't work on android 4+ they say and I've tried some secret menus with no success. Can't remember if I tried that one or not. Ill check real quick. I am rooted but I've been hesitant to switch Rome since stock works so well but I may have to look into it. Can anyone recommend a hassle free rom?

Yeah I was worried it wouldnt be in there. Most roms have some slight issues, I prefer stock myself and have been modifying it manually. Cyanogenmod 10.2 is probably your best bet though. It's based on Android 4.3, CM 11 is 4.4 based and mostly smooth but still not labeled as stable.
EDIT: Just make sure you make a full backup of what you have now in TWRP. I'd use TWRP 2.5.0.0 btw. Backup all partitions so if something goes wrong you can restore it back. And follow the install directions for CM precisely. Good luck!
try thisOffline SIM APN Database Otherwise consider using a custom rom or even a stock variant.
I'm not sure that database will help me since Sprint is cdma, but also I already have the correct apn settings from straight talk. My phone just doesn't doesn't have the option to input them thanks to Sprint. Cell providers really need to stop locking people in at this point. If your services were good and your price was competitive then people would stay with you, without the gimmicks. Sorry to rant I'm just really sick of all the cat and mouse games of unlocking a phone. I think I probably will just use a custom rom since my phone won't have anymore limitations after that, but that is still more work than I wanted to do just to change apn settings. Thanks for the feedback guys!

I have heard of other apps not having much luck with changing apn settings for us. Even tho I dont currently need it, thanks for the heads up!
It didn't change it for me. It said ICS or later prevents it but it did allow me to open the menu which was good enough for me. Still having a problem where after a reboot it keeps creating the sprint apn after I delete it but I figure that's baked into this stock rom somehow. Prob still be switching roms but I will play with it some more. It also keeps trying to reactivate on sprint but I was glad to at least see the menu. If it were not for some clever sprint engineers that app would have worked perfectly.
