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.

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.
Just curious....really! Not trying to crack wise with you! Lol

OK then, since WiFi calling seems to be in the DNA of the T-Mobile ROM what app is best for users whom do not have the same service? Doesn't telus have WiFi and didn't they get jellybean awhile ago? Please correct me if I am mistaken........

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?
Sent from my cellular telephone
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 appears that the M may be a slightly different variant then the normal I9250. Possibly SIM locked to Bell. But here's some threads to try with your exact issue:

Can you see your baseband in the About Phone screen?
What about your IMEI? Does it match with the one on the label behind your battery?

I am posting here because it seams no one knows why some phones have LTE only options and some do not.
I was wondering if someone can develop this feature somehow if the user is rooted and has there MSL code that doesn't have the LTE only option by Default.
Is this possible via development and if not why?

The only problem with going to LTE only is, on Sprint, LTE only supports data service. So if you went to LTE only you would lose voice service.
I want to lose my voice services. I just want to use my phone as a Data access point.
So do you know if someone can develop this feature?

ah ok, wasnt really clear in your explanation. any of the custom roms i have used i don't ever remember seeing lte only. sorry man wish i could help a little better.
It's possible to have LTE only, yet not many people can develop radios that shut out normal service. Good idea
Though!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Ya what if some one developed a ROM feature to where you can at least disable 3G so the phone could only connect to LTE. This could bypass the possible hardware limitations.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium App
Probably won't work but use efrants return to stock guide and instead of flashing both radios try flashing the LTE radio only and see what that gets you
Bloods thicker than water
I wonder why this is not more popular and why more people are not working on this possibility.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium App
Search in the Play Store for "Network" by Philipp Mangelow. It is actually a shortcut to the phone's built in diagnostics mode. It doesn't work for stock or ROMs with stock kernels, but I have used it to put the phone into LTE-only mode for testing. You will see both GSM and CDMA settings, regardless of which one your phone is. Try them all, sometimes the setting is mislabeled (its a bug with the ROM, not the app).
So in short, even if your ROM doesn't support LTE-only, you have a good chance of this feature with this app.

Okay there was nine options under preferred network tab and all of them did not force LTE. I do not know if I have to reboot or not but if you know anything else that would be great or have any other ideas.
Also there was something about ims registration but I do not know anything about that.

The LTE option only appears on certain ROMs. I forgot which ones, and I can't check right now because I flashed back to stock so I can take my phone to Sprint for repairs (overheating). Try Eclipse, Maddoggin, Carbon, Rasbean, or Jellybro. One of those will have an LTE option I'm sure. What I do is set the LTE option, then below I turn off the radio, and then turn it back on. Oh and sometimes the 4G icon doesn't appear, depending on the ROM, but if you do a speedtest you'll obviously see you're connected to LTE.
Okay I have tried all of them by turning off the radio and turning them back on. Also did not pay attention to names. It still did not work so I guess I will have to try one of those Roms.
Do you know if I can install one of those ROMs with the sprint nexus toolkit? And which ROM would you suggests first.
Also im afraid it might be a hardware issue do you think that is possible? Maybe I got one of the first Sprint 4G LTE Nexuses that you can't split the LTE signal.

ANSWER: Download and flash Eclipse 2.1 ROM (Android 4.1.2) :good:
It has the LTE ONLY option you want. It also has a fantastic array of options and tweaks, and 2-4 times the battery life of a 4.2 ROM or Stock OTA. :highfive:
If the LTE ONLY option doesn't work on the the first try, use the Network app posted above to turn off the radio and back on again. :victory:
So I just bought a Tmo s4 and rooted my device. After installing the latest TWRP, I have tried installing PAC ROM and Slimbean but my lte doesn't work on either ROM. If I flash back to stock it works fine. I tried adding the APN settings just in case I missed something but to no avail. I went into the dialer and used *#*#4636#*#* and changed the network to lte only and I lost signal completely. Anyone having similar issues or a fix?
Thanks

The model is SGH-M919. I'll try the one that you mentioned.
Did you actually test the speed and confirm you didn't have lte? Most aosp roms don't show the lte symbol.
I didn't test the speed but I did try another rom, Virgin ROM and it displays the LTE symbol fine now. Thanks for the help guys!
I have an AT&T SGH-I747 running CM11 that I have unlocked and using on T-mobile's network. Unfortunately though I can only access edge and I would like to be able to acces 3g, 4g, or LTE. How would I go about enabling this on my phone? Any help is appreciated.

I used to work for t-mobile and that's the LTE APN...
check on their website the LTE coverage areas around you.
Make a backup of your device and attempt a factory reset.
there were some devices I worked with that the factory reset worked like a magic trick.

I can't really do a factory reset, as I am currently running CM11 and I was previously on ATT. My friend on Tmobile get's LTE coverage here so I would assume I would be capable of that as well. Or at least get 3g coverage.
