Wifi calling/text nexus 5 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I have an unlocked Nexus 5 with T-Mobile service. Is there a way to get calls and text over wifi using native android OS rather than 3rd party apps? I noticed the availability of SIP internet calling. I wasn't sure if SIP worked with T-Mobile texting?

Is there a setting to get the choice between hold or end the active call?

This is weird. All Android and non-Android phone had the choice to hold or end the active call while receiving another call. Here with the Nexus, I only get to answer the new call and the other one is automatically put to hold. Is there a way to change that? It's really annoying. Thanks!

Is yours CDMA? My understanding with Sprint you can't. I had ATT before and I could but it was a GSM phone. Just like CDMA phones can't use 3g data and talk at the same time but GSM can. I called customer care and they are useless, could not even help at all or at least tell me its due to type of phone (CDMA).

that has nothing to do with what he is talking about
he's talking about being on a call, another call coming in
If what you mean is that you have an incoming call, answer that call, then merge back into the original call, then you cannot do that on CDMA.
On GSM, you can.
Yes it does and I understood what he meant. CDMA is setup different than GSM. I have CDMA now and wish I still had GSM.

It's GSM

It was actually easy with other phones, one a new call is coming and your answer it, a window pop up asking you to hold or end the active call

Some CDMA phones can do 3G and talk at the same time. My Rezound did.

Which carrier?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
The same carrier I'm using with other phones and using the same SIM, but yet here nothing. Plus, I don't get notified when calling someone and it's in waiting! The phone is GSM.

Why not utilize Gvoice?

Gvoice by itself isn't WiFi calling, and when paired with a VoIP solution, still requires a separate phone number unlike the T-Mobile option.
Op: it's not going to happen as there is just too much required that we don't have (reverse engineering).

New case
You could use this for wi-fi calling if you have an ipod touch
The MorphCase on Indiegogo
and cut your cell service plan back to a minimum rate.

Anyone have issues with data connection ad using an extended network?

What ya mean?
It will show connected to an extended network but it will not connect to roaming data and made sure roaming g data was connected. Another user that had a Galxy Nexus with Verizon said they had to out in a code to get it to work for him I'm sure it was some modem setting but not sure

Not really sure what's your problem, but i guess Dragn4rce could help you.
Do you mean a "Network Extender" from Verizon?
I use one of these in my home and it works flawlessly.
I should add though that mine is an older model that only extends voice, not data.
I use my Wi-Fi home network for data.
No extended network like when you are using g another providers tower

Sometimes my data won't work and I can only make calls and texts when goes to a different tower

Beamed from my Maguro.
Yeah shows up as extended network though

I work in an area where I'm connected to Verizon's extended network. I get no data connection. My coworker with an iPhone gets 3G data on the same network.
I have data, data roaming, and national data roaming all enabled.
Does anybody know how I can get data working?
Yep this is my same issue except was the same phone for me

T-mobile Tether block bypass for chrome book?

I have an unlocked galaxy nexus running Franco r364. I just bought a Samsung arm chrome book and it will see the nexus Wi-Fi hotspot but will not connect. It let me tether however for a while then blocked it. I have the unlimited data no tethering plan. Does anyone know how to bypass the tethering block or know how I can get the chromebook to connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot. I've researched and found tether bypasses such as clock work tether that work for PC or Mac but not chrome OS anyone experiencing the same issue or have found a solution. Thanks in advance.

Use the stock teethering feature in android.
T-mobile doesn't have software blocking your device because it's not T-mobile firmware but rather stock google.
you need to enable teethering on your device.
verify that your APN TYPE in your APN settings says "default,supl,dun,mms"
that should enable teethering on your stock device.

Wait... Huh? I can bypass T-Mobile's block? Can you elaborate on this more clearly? I had to orkbot (or something like that) and PDAnet just to barely tether. It's slow as hell (1 gbs). Please help!

I think he's trying to say that you should use the stock wireless tethering hotspot function instead of a third party app. Also to modify the APN with the parameters he provided
Just for the record 1gb(p)s is not slow at all...roughly 800mbps

I added the "dun," in and my computer is telling that it cannot connect to the network. Am I don't something wrong? That's with the Wi-Fi tether. I can connect with the USB tether, but I can't access the internet. I get a message from T-Mobile saying, "Turn your Smartphone into a Mobile Hotspot! Share your smartphone's high-speed internet connection […]." I can't move beyond this webpage, either. Ugh. This sucks. :-/

Forget that comment, I'm stupid.
Just connect to it via your wireless adapter.

Using stock adjusted APN and it connects but when u try to browse it directs u to T-Mobile. Anyway around this?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
The way they catch you is by the UAString. On their side, it makes it look like a desktop is using your data and hence the reason you get blocked. Not too familiar with Chrome OS, but see if there are any add ons for chrome that will change the UA String( User Agent String)

Yeah, they're not having that this year. Lol. Which plan are you using? The $70 unlimited plan?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk II
I got a family plan with unlimited calls and text. I had 5gb data with hot spot but they recently came out with the uncapped unlimited data and igot it because I knew I was rooted and could still tether. Guess they caught on because as of Feb 1st it keeps redirecting to T-Mobile. I can still get away with it on my ps3 though that's about it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I too have the $30 unlimited plan and I can tether just fine. You are using the stock tethering feature right? Have you tried changing the uastring?

Forums typically require a minimum number of characters (chars) before you can post. 10 characters used to be pretty common, so people would boost their character count by adding "10char" to their post. Looks like 2 characters is the minimum on xda...
I have this problem too, almost. I have the Sprint variant and I don't get redirected to a site on my Samsung ARM CB.
When on any Jellybean rom, my CB sees the built in hotspot from the gnex but says it can't connect to it. Works perfectly on cm9.1, although only when the hotspot is an open network. I honestly can't believe 2 Google devices won't work together.

Switching to an Android use agent works
Since I bought a Samsung Chromebook in July, I had no trouble using my T-Mobile $30 5GB plan to tether to it . . . until today.
I was unhappy until I switched user agents to an Android user agent. A couple (Android 4.0.2 for Galaxy Nexus & Chrome for Android Tablet) different user agents did the trick.

(Q)Using data while on a call.

I am wondering if it is possible to be on the internet while on a telephone call? I believe there are some phones that can do this like the HTC 4G LTE but is this possible with my samsung galaxy note 2. I think I can do this using wifi but I'm talking about with a normal 3G connection is that possible.

Nope. Not possible. The galaxy s3, and evo 4g LTE can. The note 2 cannot. I'm not sure about the Galaxy S4.
You can use LTE or wifi while on a phone call with the note 2..just not 3g.
