Jedi Mind Trick v7 0r v8 the newest one is great with wifi calling.
I thought wifi calling only works if you're using TMobile

I'll still be a T-Mobile customer, just using wifi to make my calls so i dont get charged out the ass for it.
You'll still get charged. Wifi calling uses your TMobile minutes. Don't mistake it for Google voice or voip type

That's incorrect. If you call over wifi overseas to the US its as though you are calling from the US. If you call from overseas to another overseas number you are charged international long distance. If you receive a call while overseas you are charged international roaming. Its in plain English on t mobiles website and I've done it.
OP: I suggest flashing a stock ROM (rooted is fine) and call t mobile to get an unlock code so you can use a local Sim if you want.

I called 3 times to confirm and that's what they said, as long as I'm calling to the US I won't be charged. I'll be keeping data off at all times and solely using Wi-Fi.

Keep in mind if you want to unlock your phone and use an overseas Sim you need to be on stock. Not stock based, but stock.

Well....I gave a friend my phone (his is not unlock) to go
overseas (my phone was on Jedi Mind Trick) and he used it
without a single hitch with a local Sim card!
So...I don't know about the stock part....
EDIT: It might be because Jedi Mind Trick is based on the original ICS...

Rom
Jedi Mind Trick Rom is good :good:
Hello,
I was wondering if there is any Jelly Bean roms that support Wifi calling. I need Wifi calling where I work because I get no reception in my office.
Or is there any other roms that is recommended that has Wfi calling?
Thanks for any help.
Why not use Viber? It uses your mobile number as the ID and anyone else using Viber can make a free VOIP call to you.

Aosp ROMs (cm, aokp) currently don't have actual WiFi calling as its something that runs deeper in tw ROMs other than an apk

And therefore is completely different than WiFi calling.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Wi-Fi calling is a TMobile creation thus must be cooked into the rom base by TMobile. Since we dont have a TMobile release for JB for the T989 the answer would be no.
And to reiterate what the poster above me said, wifi calling is more than VOIP.
WiFi Calling / Using WiFi to Surf?
I have no doubt this may be a stupid question, but if I was to use one of the Jelly Bean ROMS and lose wifi calling, does that also mean that I could not connect to the web via wifi?
Thank you in advance for any help. This is a deciding factor for me.
I am using the Galaxy S2 t989 Hercules.
No JB has WiFi fixes just make sure you read before you flash but most of them all have WiFi :thumbup: good luck

Are you saying there is/are jb rom(s) without working wifi?? I'm just asking cause who on earth would flash such a thing....or even release a rom for jb with no wifi considering all the awesome roms we have with wifi working perfectly fine.

Well, the discussion about Google voice would be a whole new issue. The bottom line is, its different than TMo wifi calling.
As far as Bell getting an update...might want to browse the official jelly-bean sticky for that info.
I am in the same situation, and use wifi calling at home. The problem with GV and other services like that, is that you won't receive calls to your Tmobile number when you don't have signal. You can only call out on the phone, which will use your GV number when you do. Unless you give everyone your GV number, but for me that wasn't very practical, since I've had my T-mo number for over 10 years (ported from my old home phone #).
So, if you have no signal and want to use wifi, people wanting to get a hold of you will have to call your GV number instead of your Tmobile number. As far as taking over your phone, GV has an option to use the GV number for every call, so it sorta does take over. But if you click no, you can manually enable/disable GV when you use it. I think it asks you every time you make a call, which was kinda annoying, as was enabling/disabling GV every time I was connected to wifi.
On top of that, just about every one of those apps I tried other than GV, had poor quality and/or call echo issues. Even the ones with echo cancellation didn't work well in my experience.
So I just went back to t-mo based ROMs that had wifi calling built in, and it's much easier for me.
I'm basically in the same boat. Both of my houses have complete dead spots and very little to 1 bar of reception if ever. I heavily rely on wifi-calling.
So has any JB 4.2/4.3 ROMs popped up yet with Wifi-Calling? Does anyone know of any sort of gains in figuring it out?
Nope....only touchwiz roms.

I would love to do it if someone could point me in the right direction compare the ICS tmobile version with a standard touchwiz ICS code and find the difference. Once the difference has been found inject that into the jellybean. In theory that should work

If it was doable, it would have been done by now. Don't ya think?

I am inclined to agree but to a point. In the end it's still code, someone had to create it and inject it into the official tmobile ROMS there for it can be reverse engineered. I would suspect that it's such a tedious task that it hasn't been done. To find the several lines of code the amount of effort wasn't worth the time to invest especially since you could copy and past

It has to be feature enabled at activation. For example, I am coming from a GS2. I cut my GS2 sim to fit the GS3. Everything worked perfectly except for LTE. I had to call and have the phone activated as an LTE enabled phone to get it working. I am on AT&T BTW.

I was also told that they have 'newer' sim cards that 'work better' with LTE as well. I was having issues with my SIM that came in my iPhone 4S, and when I moved to the SGS3 LTE was spotty. They gave me a new SIM at the AT&T store and it fixed all my issues. Not sure why it helps anything as a SIM should be a SIM should be a SIM, but apparently it does.
May be thats why coz my sim was activated at hspa for iphone need to activate in LTE mode i think

Sounds like it could be network vision. I'm a tech for sprint and there have been lots of customers in my area that can't receive phone calls. Flash the return to stock Rom and if it is still doing it then take it to a service center. If they determine it's a network issue then you're SOL.

Yes I work for sprint. And the bad thing is. I can update anyone's PRL but it will change back on the next scheduled network sync. So I have a list of PTNs I have to check weekly to verify if they rolled back to 20000 or 20001.

So what would you recommend as the best course of action? Staying on 55015 unless you notice you aren't receiving calls sometimes? Come to think of it I think I did get a voicemail once without the phone ringing... but other than that once, it seems like 55015 has been better than 2000, at least in terms of holding a data signal.
Depends on your area and your service. If 20000 doesn't work and 55015 does, then stick with it. As for calls rolling directly to VM and your phone isn't broke lol, it more then likely is a hickup in the network. You should see some of the network Trams I see on my end.

So I noticed you work for Sprint. I'm running a custom prl on my note 2 that prioritizes 800 smr. Most of the time I fail to connect, but not always. I am an active member at s4gru.com, a Sprint forum, and many people with note 2's are experiencing the same connection problems with smr. My wisdom for you is if Sprint, internally, has diagnosed the problem with the note 2's and 800 smr. Obviously Sprint knows something is up or they wouldn't have pushed the 2000 prl.

The reason I push out non standard PRLs are for instances were I have a customer who is not getting service at all or is getting extremely poor voice service. As for s4gru.com, that is not a sprint affiliated web site. It is a community blog that is not moderated nor updated by sprint. It is true that some N2 users in specific markets experience issues with 800 SMR bands enabled but I personally have not had an issue with it.

L900VPAMC2 Stock Rooted with a DPI change. But I have been running 55015 the entire time even before I rooted. Erickson has been working on the issue for some time but driver updates for the Note 2 are needed for the patch to work and as far as I can tell Sammy hasn't done that yet.
But for most people I deal with, having to power cycle your phone occasionally is a hell of a lot better then no service at all.
