.Hi guys/gals, just impoted a captivate glide from the u.s, seeing as they never released them here in the uk..
Its brand new, accept for the chap has already rooted it for me and installed cwm. Now after reading somewhere on this forum a while ago, I remember, I think, that you can only force 3g on the at&t rom and not on the rogers (which I'm running)?
Is that right? As I really need this feature, and have used it for years on my desire z runnng miui..
Are there any patches/cab files/apps that will do this for me, as I can't find a way to solve this without flashing the at&t rom..
Thanks peops..
(I also get a blank screen when activating wifi hotspot, which I use evry day also,,, this wouldn't be a common bug I spose?)

As far as I know the only Rom that lets you switch to 2G (I think is what you want) is the ROMS from Rogers. You can use either the stock 2.35 or the OSIMOOD which is also based on stock just has the Bloat removed. Unfortunately all ICS roms are based on AT&T. I don't know what the JB ROms can do as I have not tried them.
Get pimp my rom. You have to get the hidden menu up, and change to GSM only. The radio has to be turned off and back on for it to work.

Hi, thanks for the replys, but its actually the other way round, I dont want it to keep dropping back to 2g, I need it to stay on 3g only..
Any suggestions?
Thanks..
Pimp my rom did the trick though, thanks
Any ideas on how to fix the wifi hotspot black screen (black screen, accept the top icon bar which is still visible)?
Thanks...
Force 3G Network
You only have to dial *#2263# and you well get the network menu

So you would rather lose data connectivity altogether than use 2G?
And if you're overseas, why do you have T-Mobile set as your provider?

Hi, bit late replying, but, I use the phone as a router via wifi tethering at home, so I want it to stay on 3g. Forceing it to stay on 3g stops it unnessaserily dropping back to 2g and slowing the connection down, it works well and I've always used this on my desire z via miui roms.
My provider is T-mobile.. T-mobile uk
Also, anyone got wifi calling working on this phone? On any rom? As I can't find any info on it.. as tmobile has free wifi calling over here..
Thanks guys..
am I the only person in the uk to use one of these? (If I am ill feel a bit special lol)
Thanks for reading.
I am looking for a way to automate turning WiFi calling on/off. I have attempted to do this with Tasker but with no luck. I have read several threads but they seem to be referencing an older WiFi calling solution that was an app.
I am using the T-Mobile Samsung S4 w/ 4.3 and the WiFi calling settings are under Settings->My Device (Tab)->Call->Wi-Fi Calling. this phone is not rooted (corporate policy) so there I cannot use D-pad instructions to select the option.
Any thoughts?

I just took a look at the code, I think you are out of luck without root my friend. :/
I was under the assumption that it was automatic.
With Wi-Fi calling on and you're out of Wi-Fi range cellular network take over. There's a few options under Wi-Fi calling setting as to which you prefer first, Wi-Fi or cellular signal

Your assumption is correct, however if you set it to Cellular preferred and you get a call with only 10% cell signal it will come across the voice channel, and in my case most likely drop. This is when I am at the office. Conversely when I am at home my wireless coverage is spotty and I wouldn't want to use WiFi calling. So my ultimate goal is to use Tasker to turn on WiFi calling when I am at the office and turn is off when I leave. I hope this clarifies what I am trying to accomplish.

Why are you bumping all these ancient threads without adding any information?
Please don't do that.
I would like to do this as well!!!

With t-mobile saying that all their phones are going to be WiFi calling capable, what is the chance of finally getting WiFi calling to work on aosp or cm in near future. Hoping @DocHoliday77 had an educated answer as always.

Are you referring to Tmobile's Wifi calling or to the Google Voice Hangouts Dialer?
I'm curious to know if anyone has ported their Tmobile number to Google Voice and successfully replaced wifi calling with hangouts voice calling.
Will it support T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling? I know Android M supports WiFi calling natively but will the carriers (T-Mobile in particular) need to do anything to allow it?
WiFi calling is very useful to me at home where cell signal is very poor.

Out of the box, at this moment, I don't think it does. However T-Mobile got it working on the Nexus 6 so I don't see why they couldn't add it with an update either before or after they ship. Think positive :thumbup:
Edit: found this from another thread in general section
"It’s also worth mentioning that*T-Mobile has already said*that the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P should have Wi-Fi Calling support at launch. While it’s expected to be turned off by default, T-Mo has said that after you pop in your SIM and hook onto the network, you should be able to turn the feature on."
Google or T-Mobile said via Twitter or the AMA or somewhere that it does support WiFi calling out of the box, but you need to set it to be on when you get your device - it isn't on by default.
The TBD support is for T-Mobile VoLTE/Band 12, which Google said they hope will be ready to go by ship day.

Excellent. Both will help.
Do texts go over wifi as well with wifi calling enabled? At work I only have access to wifi or Sprint (because I am in a basement of a building) and it has a Sprint DAS antenna system installed. I was thinking of switching to Project Fi due to it being on Sprint's network but if texts can go over wifi with T-mobile I would probably go with them since it would open me up to a huge choice of phones in the future (I kind of want to try a windows phone sometime)

Yes, texts will go over wifi. Hurry with that Windows phone, before the platform dies completely
Here's the Twitter post where I saw confirmation from T-Mobile on Wi-Fi calling: https://twitter.com/TMobile/status/648919023158206464
The initial question was on band 12 support (hoping we get this soon), but below there's a question on Wi-Fi calling to which they said yes. This was one of the main reasons I'm switching to one of the new Nexus phones - most phones support it on their stock ROMs, but once you get sick of stock and switch to a custom ROM you have to give up Wi-Fi calling.
Question for those of you on T-Mobile...
We all know WiFi calling is enabled, BUT, has anyone seen or regularly sees any kind of indicator that they're actually connected through WiFi calling when on a call?
I have seen twice on the signal tile, it say "T-Mobile WiFi calling". But that's it. I have the setting set to WiFi preferred and I even have the T-Mobile WiFi calling Asus router, but I don't know if it's actually using WiFi calling it not.
If I have zero signal indicated on the signal tile, but WiFi on, I'll get a message telling me to connect to a wireless network when I try to place calls.
I'm also assuming that means the signal indicator tile serves a dual purpose in regards to also showing WiFi signal strength. Because when I'm on WiFi, if I switch on " cellular preferred" (in WiFi calling settings), I'll see the LTE symbol next to the signal icon in the tile, but If I switch to "WiFi preferred", any cellular symbol (LTE, H, 3G) goes away.
On a side note, if you're in airplane mode, you can't make a phone call, even with WiFi on. On my S6 edge, I could, as long as I was connected to T-Mobile WiFi calling. But the phone would let you know with a status bar icon.
I really need WiFi calling in some places at work and I dumped the S6E partly because of the 5X utilizing WiFi calling, so that's why I've wasted all you folk's time in reading this long post. ☺
Well, son of a *****, look what finally popped up...
It was enabled by default as soon as I booted with the TMO sim and ran the update.
Great to read...looking forward to trying it out when it arrives.

As was mine, but it didn't seem to want to work. I had "cellular preferred" set, but it seemed to hold onto the cell signal too much and not want to switch over. I set it to "WiFi preferred" but it still wasn't connecting yesterday. Today however, it's been all good with WiFi preferred. So it might have just been my work's network yesterday.
I still got to see if the phone will hand off the call to cellular before I leave it on WiFi preferred. I'm guessing it only will if I'm on band 12, but I'll test it anyways.
I searched around and got conflicting results. Does the 7X have WIFI calling? VoIP as well?

If you are referring to T-Mobile's wifi calling, then no, it doesn't have that. You can use a 3rd party wifi calling app (Google Voice, Hangouts, Skype, Duo, etc).

I'm on AT&T--- it appears as if it's calling on WIFI as when I'm connected to a WIFI network it shows the connection but no mention of cell service...I place the call and still does not show the cell connection (4G/LTE).
However, I do not believe calls without WIFI are VoLTE....if I call off the cell network it switches from 4G LTE to 4G only....However, it sounds super clear though.

Maybe it has native Wifi calling on AT&T but I have T-Mobile and it does not support their native wifi calling feature. My wife has a Moto G5 Plus and it DOES support Wifi calling on T-Mobile, even though it's an unlocked, non-T-Mobile specific phone.
And it does have VoLTE on T-Mobile as well (at least the BND-L24 model does).
