I still have not even updated to ICS from Ginger Bread lol. My phone is completely stock though, and it took me a long time to actually find a phone where the WIFI calling is perfect. I am so afraid of upgrading to ICS and ruining the feature that I just kept GB. I remember back when ICS came out for the S2, people complained about an echo or delayed voice in calling, and thats the exact reason I switched to the S2 from the Amaze. ( The amaze was fine with wifi calling until I upgraded to ICS )
Has there been any other updates since the original one a few months ago? Or am I the only one still using GB 2.3.6

sorry can't answer your question about wifi calling and call echo, but i believe there's been like 2-3 updates since the first ICS update. I THINK. Well from what most people say, 4.0.4, the latest one is actually very good compared to 4.0.3. you should change your title to something like "is there echo in wifi calling for ics"
Gb is good but new updates means more fixes on pending issues... Nothing wrong with ICS in my opinion as long as you look on the threads for what your needs are and if they can be met. Theres still wifi calling without issues in a few of the new ROMs just not ready to call JB dd material yet dues to the small bugs. That's just my opinion. Some like them and others dont. To each its own. But make the jump and try stuff out, besides, thats what its all about
I just went to jellybean and really love it. GB works, but jb is just so much more aesthetically pleasin. If you don't mind the small bugs and no WiFi calling you should do it

Well he said Wi-Fi calling had to be perfect...op I recommend the Beastmade Rom. It's stock 4.0.4 and its what I'm using now. I rely on Wi-Fi calling and it works flawlessly for me.

Well, I did it yesterday. I went back to GB (Darkside Digital Warfare 2.7). This was my daily driver for I dont know how long, and I dont recall switching ROMS for one reason or another like I have with ICS based ROMS. Ive tried most of the major ICS ROMS (of course including Beastmade as I mentioned above), but after a few days or a week, it gets...glitchy. Hang ups, strange call issues, gets laggy, whatever. Maybe Im expecting too much from my phone, I dunno. What I DO know is I didnt have ANY issues on GB. Zero. None. Nada. Maybe >>my<< phone just doesnt play well with ICS *shrug*.
After 24 hours, Im not noticing any speed issues after being on ICS ROMS for the last couple of months. Everything just works. I also have missed not having BLN work for stock messaging app...which it does on DDW 2.7. Also the low vibration levels on all ICS ROMS vs GB. Maybe it sounds minor, but its an annoyance for me.
Anyway, since this is kinda the topic of the thread, I thought I'd post.
I used Juggernaut 5.0 (GB) as my DD for so long. I upgraded to T-Mobile ICS when they released it, and had issues receiving/sending text messages. People would say they would never get them or I would never get their response. This might be due to the radio I was using or the location i'm in, but I never had that issue with GB.
I don't use Wifi calling so I can't answer that for you. I recently upgraded to JB (cm10) and am so happy with it. Buttery smooth and no issues for me so far. However I have heard there are some extremely stable ICS roms available (Jedi Knight). I have yet to try that though, I just went straight to JB and love it.
I'm running AOKP Jelly Bean. I have been used to no WiFi Calling for a long time now. If you can get used to the fact that there is no WiFi Calling on AOSP ROMS, than you will be fine.

I think the only echo was from the leaked stock roms wasn't it?
Nope
So I use to run Juggernaut 5.0 and loved it. My phone started to stop charging, no fault of the ROM. My charging port went bad. Sent my phone back and got my new sgs2. It was already on ICS 4.0.4, it has wifi calling. So stock ICS has wifi calling. Its the only thing keeping me from downloading a ROM at the moment.

I have v9 installed and it's not on there. Do you know where I can get the zip?
Hi, I currently have the SGS2 from T-Mobile and would like to give it to my mother-in-law and get the SGS3 for myself. I was wondering if there are any known issues for this phone? Like, currently, on the SGS2, using Wifi, I get calling issues, dropped calls, Audio issue...Someone said that there might be the same issues for the SGS3 as well...can anyone confirm this? What are some other issues that might have arisen?
Or maybe point me in the right direction for T-Mobile user issues...I have seen some of the other carrier ones, but I am concerned with T-Mobile....Thanks!!!

Roger on the OCD! I have my issues too....has anyone come out with a mod for that?..I can live with it. I'm hoping there's no performance issues like the S2 has with Wifi calling...everything else, I can probably live with....I hope....
I wouldn't call WiFi calling a "performance" issue but I would call it an issue with the s3. Comparing it side by side with my old G2X the s3 is a flop sad to say, with WiFi calling. I'm pretty sure 4.+ ROMs changed WiFi calling and made it terrible.
Other then that the S3 is a performance beast with tiny hardware stuff... screens having dead pixels, very un-common. loose hardware buttons, little tiny things like that.

WIFI calling works fine on stock rooted. I have no signal in my house (from any network) and rely on WIFI calling there - and I've never had an issue. I've heard some people are having issues that might have to do with their router set-up.

I personally hate TW roms so when I found that LiquidSmooth which has a great balance between stability and functionawhich I fell in love.
I would suggest giving that a try unless the person is content with stock.

If you rely on WiFi calling you won't get to use aosp influenced ROMs, only touchwiz ROMs.

I am using the Wifi calling feature on my S2 now...is this why I have calling issues?
Hey man I used to have a tmobile s2 and now I have an s3. I loved the s2 but I hated that I used to have a call echo on every rom out there. And for that reason I was confuse on having another samsung device. I got the s3 as a christmas gift. so far I love it. No call echo or issues. I think samsung listen well with its last galaxy devices like the galaxyS/galaxys2. I have no issues with the s3 no how. About the wifi calling I cant answer that I dont use that. other than that the S3 beats the S2 big time

AOSP influenced is anything available for the SGS III that is not TouchWiz, CyanogenMod, AOKP, AOSP, Parandroid, SlimBeam and so and so on. None of those will have Wi-Fi calling built in natively. There are apps out there though be people stand by to do them well (BobSled) I think it is.

It doesn't have to do with rooting.. I am rooted right now and I can use every feature the stock phone comes with, but if you start flashing different roms and want to keep the same features like WiFi calling and a few others, you would have to look for a touchwiz based ROM..

Exactly. You should read more though if you weren't sure of those kind of things. Look into backing up your imei, and which recovery to use, and how to revert to complete stock after rooting and flashing. Best recommendations I can offer to someone so they don't have to make a thread on something that has been discussed countless number of times like others do everyday haha.

I installed Jedi-X9 this weekend and absolutely love it. I know it says wifi calling does not work, but I assumed (yeah, my B) that meant T-mobile's wifi calling wasn't working. It appears that Grooveip doesn't work. Is this true? Very sad if this is true, I'm on the T-mo $30 plan, and this would mean I have to go back to stock, or possibly another ROM (??).
Anyone?

So I finally got some free time, and I've moved over to Jedi Master 10. When I try to make calls I get no sound and there is no audio on the other end. I've been searching but I haven't turned up anything. Is there anyone who might be able to give some advice? I've been playing with the trouble shooting settings, but haven't gotten anywhere. Grooveip used to work fine back on stock, and I'm working with a clean install of the app on the new rom.
Sorry to tell you that but you're wasting your time trying to get Groove IP to work on that ROM. Been there, done that, and been ganged up on for even bringing it up. Switched to Tweaked and not only does it work perfectly on that one, but everybody is very civilized in that thread

Just picked up my new Note II this week and was wondering if wiped out my tmo stock ROM.. would I be able to load an international stock ROM of X language/country region?
What I am aiming for is basically a fresh clean installed ROM without the tmo bloatware and etc. Also, would my Note II have any wifi calling issues being on a non-tmo stock ROM?
Any advice is appreciated and thank you in advance.
There should be a stock debloated rom floating around in the android dev sections. I used it untill jedi x7 came out and roms were becoming stable.

Wifi calling only available in TMobile roms. You will lose wifi calling if you install international roms or any roms that is not base on TMobile.

Yeah, I was afraid of that.. losing wifi calling. My area lacks coverage so I depend on wifi calling.
Hm.. is there a way to extract the wifi calling feature from stock tmo roms and install with other custom or international roms.

Well, in the sense that anything could be possible... sure. But it would be a huge undertaking much more involved then an extract-and-install scenario. My gut says the juice isn't worth the squeeze on that one... but I've been wrong on such things before so don't take my word for it.
My current ROM is Tweaked 1.5 I can confirm that Wi-fi calling works.
Should you choose to flash this rom (Tweaked 1.5) In Aroma installer, make sure you tick "install all t-mobile apps"

Fwiw - installing all t-mobile apps is not necessary for wifi calling to work on tweaked.
I may be way off base, but I just upgraded to a new 4.4.2 CM based ROM and the dev believes WiFi Calling is exclusive to Samsung. I am under the impression it is exclusive to T-Mobile firmware. Does that even make a difference?
And can WiFi Calling be integrated into CM based ROMs?
Thanks for the help in advance!

Short answer - WiFi calling is only for T-Mobile and only for Touchwiz Roms. Period.

Thank you for the reply.
Now, I guess the question is why can't the WiFi calling script be implemented into an AOSP source?
Is it a matter of no dev feeling the motivation? It looks like the WiFi calling SDK is available...
code.google.com/p/the-ims-op...t-for-android/
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
WiFi Calling is something integrated deep into the OS. The SDK likely is for allowing apps to work with that closed source OS system, not to duplicate it. It would have to be completely reverse engineered by studying network packets generated by the phone during WiFi calling, figure out the protocol and any encryption used, find any encryption keys needed, and rewrite everything from scratch based around those findings. Not an easy task, and for the most part it's of fairly low reward to most users as normal calling works fine. That said I was reading a discussion recently on /r/linux about the Antrax kernels (forget what device it was for) and the developer witholding source code (which is illegal under the GPL if you distribute binaries). It looked like one of the sources that might be witheld is an open source WiFi calling implementation.
http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?93124-AnthraX-Linux-Kernels-Remain-Closed-Source&p=385801
If he really does have WiFi calling working at the kernel level then we should be pressuring whoever is entitled to make him release code to do so. By the nature of the GPL license anything at all that goes into a kernel binary released to the public MUST be released under the same license (GPLv2) and thus those people who received the binary are entitled to his source code which they can then redistribute.
Wow. Really good info. Thank you for sharing.
I do happen to be in the minority group that has shoddy coverage, so wifi calling is a godsend.
It's unfortunate firms like the one discussed in that post don't have to be 'resolved' quickly, given the volatile responses. Either make them share it asap, or figure out the price points and let everyone know how the game is going to be played...
Here's to hoping a dev feels compelled to go through all the hard work you mentioned nonetheless. Cheers!

My wife has an LG optimus l9 (I think that's what it is anyway) with wifi calling - it's a T-Mobile-variant phone thing more than a particular android skin (TW, Sense, ...whatever LG calls its thing..., etc.).

WiFi calling is on many T-mo phones, but not all and it's not only Samsung and it doesn't have to be smart phone either. My father has it on some older flip phone, not sure what it is running but I'm sure it's not touch wiz, probably not even Android. I think even some old Nokias had it under Symbian?

Is it fair to assume that if a developer's ROM is TW-based, Wifi calling is implemented as 'standard', or would the developer need to specifically build it in?
I'm curious because I see TW-based ROMs for the Note 3 that don't say anything about Wifi calling as a feature.

It has to be both TW-based AND TMo(carrier)-based (meaning the international TW bases won't have the native Wifi Calling feature).
