i been hoping to buy a xperia z1s or z and rooting it of course. But my only issue against it is there isn't any stock tmobile roms for it? Or is it even possible to have wifi calling still with a rooted xperia?

I'm using a rooted and unlocked captivate on tmobile. My G2 has the ability to make wifi calls through a wifi app(I do get charged for the minutes). Has anyone been able to make this work on a captivate. There seems to be some discussion in the vibrant forum that this might work on 2.2, but I am using 2.3.5 (CM Nightlies)
Thanks
You should definitely ask this question in the Captivate forums, not the DZ forums.
But generally, no I don't think it works like that. The WiFi calling app as you know it on a T-mobile G2 won't work on the Captivate as far as I know considering T-mobile isn't set up to run that device with UMA (its an AT&T branded phone). I'm assuming that you wouldn't be able to just move the .apk over and be good to go. My assumption is the device wouldn't register with the network properly.
Also, FWIW, you can get a feature put on your T-mobile account to make WiFi calls not count against your plan minutes. Its free of charge. Just call and ask.
Hello, I was wondering if the Sprint version of this phone can perform wifi calling. I have searched and only found that t-mobile is capable of this, but was hoping this is possible with the nexus. Thank you in advance.
Sprint doesn't have a WiFi calling system or app available.
You can't use it on T-Mobile with the Galaxy Nexus either. T-Mobile only offers it on their branded devices that they make special apps for.
there is nothing at this time.
Is there a thread/conversation on xda where a group may be working on TMO wi-fi calling for ICS or JB? I, too, would love the idea of wi-fi calling on unlocked phone brought to TMO but I understand it is currently limited to TMO phones ...
Hey guys, I'm considering buying this phone but I need T-Mobile Wifi Calling. Does anyone know of a ROM with the T-Mobile Wifi Calling app included?
I did try searching but couldn't find any ROM that said whether it had Wifi calling or not.
I found a barebones t-mo US stock rom that includes it, but it's a really bad rom. Anyone have an apk or zip of the kineto wifi program, or know of a rom that does?
Thanks.
DON'T buy this phone. I'm sure you can find a better choice for 100 dollars.

Well unfortunately, I'm in Europe, so I won't be paying dollars. I'm having difficulty finding a phone that is the same model in Europe as a T-Mobile phone. I need the wifi calling so I can make calls to and receive cals from friends and family in the US, using my old number.

A colleague of mine has this mobile according to him the reception is very poor. Well he does live in almost middle of nowhere but he had an old c902 SE mobile which gave okay/better reception than xperia M can one do anything with it? I had xperia x10 once and I use tablet Z but I have galaxy s2 as my primary mobile and I flash modems to check which one is better for my S2 but I dont have a clue if such exist for xperia do one change baseband or something? Any help appreciated. thanx
Well i don't think there's any way to boost reception. Is he on latest fw, I mean the 4.3 baseband? Not that it'll increase reception or anything.
I'd guess so but I am not sure I'll be back with the info.
So... What's the consensus with this? I switched to AT&T because it works better in the mountains...except my house. Is there some kind of 5X rom out there with wifi calling/texting? Thank you!
Please
Not gonna happen unless you get an AT&T branded phone. I have an AT&T S8. When I'm running AT&T Firmware it works fine, when I switch to unlocked firmware I lose it. Short answer, it's not going to work. Probably ever.
