Wifi calling error???
Has anyone have this happen to them before???

I have seen that on other devices. It was cured by a reboot. Something about how the phone registered itself on the WiFi network I was on.
Was this a 1 time issue or are you getting it every time? And are you getting it on different WiFi networks or just on one?
If you get it only on one network but it works fine on others its a safe bet that there is a problem with that WiFi network.
Are you rooted? Have you modded anything in the ROM's system partition? That could also cause the WiFi app to be sending invalid information to the server if you damaged or deleted one of the elements the WiFi call app needs to function.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
Never seen that error before but make sure you update the 911 address on T-Mobile web site otherwise you get some goofy errors

Hi all,
I searched the forums for this topic and haven't been able to find anything that addessess this exactly...
I have a rooted SGS2 with Whitehawkx's rom installed. I have been using it for over a week now and noticed that even if wifi calling is enabled, I often get an "unable to connect" error, then when I actually get the Wifi calling to work, the call quality is really bad.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so is there any kind of fix or work-around?
Thanks!
Madi
Are you using the sim card that came with the device? That could be the problem.
Sent from my SGH-T989
I got a new SIM card when I bought the phone. It does "work" meaning I can usually get wifi calling enabled after a few tries, although not always.
When I call comes in the wifi calling icon goes from blue to green, like it's supposed too, but the calls sounds like the person on the other end has a very bad stutter, so I miss half the conversation...

In that case I don't know what could be causing that problem. IM currently running juggernaut 4.0 with the new modem and wifi calling is working perfectly. I hope someone can help!

How is the quality of your internet connection?
Sometimes poor internet or local isp might be the problem.
Try running speedtest.net test and report

Call quality on Wifi calling could be because of ANYTHING , network related, it is a VOIP based service.
The things that could be causing it,
Internet Connection (not just speed but packet loss)
Router (the type of router , including firewall, and stateful packet inspection, UPNP)
Wireless Access Point, try changing the channel on your AP
and many more things , related to network traffic ..
My call quality bounces from great to crappy depending on what is going on, on my network.
Hi thanks for the info. Tried connecting to a different router, was using my new Cisco, Burr had better quality when connected to my old Belkin. It's stool not great but it's better.
Thanks

just wanted to bump this thread as I am having the same problems stated in the OP.
Info in sig. got a new sim card from tmobile today. got home, connected to wifi calling, worked for about an hour with choppy quality then disconnected. tried connecting again later on and keep getting the "Error REG99 Unable To Connect" message
Tmobile support forums say this is a known issue with the SGS2 but am just wondering if others are experiencing the issue and weather its rom related or the service is down altogether.
i also tried flashing different kernel just in case (faux to darkside) but no results
anybody insight or suggestion are appreciated
will also try flashing Blaze LB7 radio
I have an unrooted Galaxy S4 Spark. I always connect, but the voice is totally unuseable.
It's not my network. I can run video calls on Skype while downloading large files at the same time.
I don't think Sprint has their heart in Wi-Fi calling. I also suspect they have allocated VERY LITTLE bandwidth to support it.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue? My phone seems to get confused about if it should be connected through wifi or 3g/4g for data. For example, if I am at home and connected to my wifi, then get in the car and leave without disabling wifi, the phone acts as if it does not recognize the 3g/4g connection at all. It will just tell me I have no network connection since I am out of range of wifi. Same happens when I am connected with 3g/4g and I walk/drive by a wifi area and I do not join the network. The open app that is using data will then loose its connection and tell me there is no network connection. Simply disabling my wifi and restarting the app does not work. I often have to reboot the phone or turn off my mobile data signal and then enable it to establish a connection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have this problem also, I will have something like streaming music playing then when I am out of range of wifi it dose not go to 3g on verizon. If I don't have any thing using wifi and disable it before going out of range and starting a stream no problem, but when it happens I switch to airplane mode then back and it works fine.
Your not the only one who has this problem.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Same here. Not sure what's causing it. I have to go into airplane mode, which itself seems to take ages, and then turn off airplane mode to establish 3g connection.
I thought it may be a mess up from aokp, and after a clean wipe and flash it seemed fine, but then started showing the same behavior , failing to comnect to 3g after exiting wifi zone.
Does anyone have an answer for this problem? Is it a hardware glitch or software or app caused problem?
Any help would be dearly appreciated too!
Known issue in AOSP right now..

Thanks for the info. Glad to hear it doesn't seem like a hardware problem, though I have yo admit I didn't see it on the aokp wikis ... Would you know if it's a problem for an unknown minority our a more general one?
So, I guess, then stock room should be fine? I was only on stock for a few days before flashing aokp. Going back would be a nuisance, but if I can have armless transition from wifi to 3g, then I guest I should -( ...
Any talk on when it may be solved in the aosp community?

I've noticed this alot lately. It seems like my wifi calling will disconnect by itself and then reconnect a couple of seconds later. The wifi itself does not shut off, just the wifi calling part. I think it happens when I unlock the phone and sometimes the blue wifi calling icon disappears and the comes back about 15 seconds later. Its weird but it also causes me to miss some calls. Doesnt really do it while on calls though
Is this a bug or can something be causing it? I have wifi set not to sleep at all.
Running stock
I had that problem with my dlink dir-655 router.. disabled wish sessions and the problem all but went away. Still happens once in a while (maybe once every few days).

I also get sometime broken voice while on the WiFi call

Just had this happen to me today. May be the router.
Maybe somebody with a non-TDJ rom can chime in and report if this happens to theirs.

I believe the Gal II was still using Kineto? If so my Dlink router was giving me similar issues until I made following changes:
1) Change mixed mode to either G or N (that cleared up my "breaking up" issues and wifi-calling is now clear).
2) In security, wifi calling stopped "dropping" when I changed to WPA with TKIP Cipher (also reported by others as a fix). You may want to try different configurations.
Mine has done this on stock GB, stock ICS, Darkside, and JMT roms. Im using a Cisco E4200 router.

What do you mean TKIP Cipher? Right now I have WPA personal running, but it does not give me that option. If I switch to WPA2 personal, all it shows is AES, Or TKIP or AES
Hi, all.
I'm down in Mexico on TelMex Infinitum internet service with their really lousy Thomson T585v8 DSL router using WPA2/AES security, on, I think, an n signal (router only runs n on a b/g/n or b/g setting, I have it set to b/g/n). My SGS3 firmware is stock unrooted LJ4.
When the wifi connection isn't strong, or the internet speed isn't fast enough, the WiFi Calling icon turns red and gives me an "09" error code saying I need to register a 911 address before I can use WiFi Calling. When I move back into range with full bars on the WiFi signal, sometimes it corrects itself....but other times I need to reboot my phone. It's a pain in the butt and I do have a (US) 911 address registered.
Not really asking for advice....just wanted to make a post about it so that others can be aware (include T-Mobile) of this pesky problem and post their similar experiences (if they are having them). Give me a "weak signal" error, but an incorrect "911 address missing" error and a failure to automatically reconnect is a problem.
Heads up if you are planning on using WiFi Calling on a weak or slow international connection.
I will say that my WiFi Calling voice/call quality has been amazingly good when WiFi Calling is connected down here.
Tldr trying to help anyway. If there is a 911 error then you need to address something within the T-Mobile website and your login. Google search it.

Already went there a few days ago when I first experienced the problem, re-entered and re-saved 911 address information. No change in behavior.
Didn't have this problem on my old Vibrant which I used down here on same setup (our house) as recently as last May.
Can you call T-Mobile from a landline?

I think maybe you misread my original post.
I have intermittent connection problems with WiFi Calling. I can get it to work, it's just picky and sometimes requires a reboot. I can call 611 via WiFi Calling, but really don't want to bother, as this falls into the "nitpicking" category right now. As long as I can get it to work, get my voicemail, etc., I'm good. No landline here anyway.
I do, however, appreciate your attempts to help.
Does anyone else have issues sending and receiving MMS on Tmobile while on wifi? I do have wifi calling enabled but turning that off doesn't help. MMS goes through fine if I turn off wifi and use network data instead, however.

I was having trouble receiving MMS after using the T-Mobile tethering fix listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715450
And this fixed it! Thanks!!

Was having the same issue and solution (use HTC's native messaging app). I just tried the fix that nycebo suggested and it worked. BUT, sending a pic was pretty slow. So slow that I thought it was going to fail (same symptom as when it was failing to send). Eventually it went thru and I'm also able to receive pics.
Hopefully, this resolves group messaging which is basically MMS as well.

Works now thanks.
Turns out the culprit actually was wifi calling? I turned that off and now I can send mms.

As I mentioned earlier, group texts are handled as MMS's. Last night the M8 was put to the test. Had an issue come where the wi-fi was partially to blame. Group text consisted of 6 people with a sprinkling of pics attached. Some of their texts and pics were getting thru while some weren't. I was on wi-fi and there is a 4-5 bar LTE signal in my area. Wi-fi calling is set to cellular preferred. Not only did some of the texts not come thru but the ones that didn't were also separated out from the group thread. I hit the download link and nothing. No error message. Nothing. Just went back to "Download message". Granted this was on the locked APN. I switched to the custom APN. Still nothing.
This worked before so I try again. I turn off the wi-fi. BAM. All the texts of the separated out people start coming thru AND they get put back into the thread.
So yes, the culprit is wi-fi but I've had wi-fi on on my Note 3 and this was never an issue. Also, in the middle of the group texts, I swap the sim into my Nexus 5 using Hangouts with wi-fi enabled and there was no problem there.
I think the root cause is the way HTC's Android implementation is handling the switching between wi-fi and the carrier network. Seems to me the message should try sending via wi-fi and if that doesn't work use carrier network. I don't know enough about the protocol to say this is for sure the case but that seems to be a logical explanation.

Curious if this is still a problem.
I am getting a GPE this week, but I need to be on wifi only at work all day and get MMS/group MMS
GPE doesnt have the option to use stock messaging (I assume Hangouts only, which I have seen has known issues MMS via wifi)
Will I be able to get MMS/group messaging on wifi only (wifi calling enabled) ?
Use Textra until Hangouts gets this working ?
