So early this morning, Samsung and T-Mo released Android 5.0 Lollipop for the T-Mo Note 3 (N900TUVUFOB5). Being an official T-Mo rom, this does support the native wifi calling. So I'm just wondering out loud, if this release can help any of us still plugging along with our T-Mo Note 2's? I certainly don't have any of those skills, but it sure gets me to wondering about our amazing developers! I have certainly been exposed to many here that I would consider geniuses!
Just wondering!!! Thanks to all!

I bought the T-Mobile Galaxy Note II at full retail at T-Mobile and have been disappointed with the support (We don't even have a real factory image yet... A week after the release... Seriously, no Samsung, no T-Mobile, nobody will give us a real image to start building ROMs). The only thing that I am concerned about is losing the WiFi calling if I go to the International Note... Has anyone been able to get this up and running? Thank you!
Sup all?
Not much info on here for what I'm about to ask. So here we go..
I'd like to upgrade to the S4 from my beloved S3 for the faster data speeds, for online gaming. I was going to do the $0 down deal on tmobile.com yesterday but read about an LTE-Advanced capable s4 that was released in S.Korea not too long ago.
From what I've read, tmobile plans to roll out lte-a technology into their LTE-ready towers by year end. So if this is true, wouldn't it make sense that this lte-a version of the s4 would come to T-Mobile?
When I bought my current s3 (t999) at release, a short time later, the lte version comes out (t999L). When I bought my Samsung vibrant 2 years ago, a short time afterwards the "4g" version comes out as well. Samsung/tmobile seems to like playing this little game.
So I'm just curious on you guys thoughts on this. Buy the current s4 now or wait till the possible lte-a version comes to U.S. carriers?

From what your second link says; it looks like LTE-A won't be a big priority and will probably be in a "testing" phase for awhile just like LTE was when they made that move. They'll put it in one specific city or area and test to see how well it does (it's what they've done in the past as well). More than likely they won't bring the S4 LTE-A over and just wait till more and more phones corporations start using it. They aren't going to focus solely on upgrading something they are still in the process of upgrading just for one phone...it's a stupid illogical move. Also who's to say that chipsets used in phones here will be able to support LTE-A (same reason the first S3 didn't have LTE).
You could jump in on the the $0 down now and get in on the JUMP! program so later you can just upgrade to the new phone if they do bring it.
T-mobile Just turned on LTE this summer i doubt that well see LTE-A in 2 years...
Hello everyone.
I'm a new convert switching to Tmo from the Big Red network. I had a SG Note 2 and upgraded to a Note 3 when I switched.
I'm wanting to know which ROMs you guys use that will include Wifi calling. (One of the reasons I switched) I need this feature as I live in a hilly neighborhood and the reception in my house is sub-par. I get 2 bars on Tmo and got zero bars on Big Red.
I've had the phone a week and I'm just doing some research to see what's out there and what's popular with everyone on this forum. I'll be rooting next weekend as that is when my grace period is up for Tmo.
Thanks guys/gals

IMO, Hyperdrive KK V2. This is the ONLY rom by far the best, loads of optionsss. Yes, wifi calling is included and works like a charm. I'm in a crowded buildings sometimes, wifi calling is a must for me as well.
V2 just got released last night, fresh off the oven!
roms with wifi
Jedi elite and wicked both have Wifi calling. Battery life is better than stock.

Wifi Calling is a TW only based option. I don't believe anyone has ported it to a CM or AOSP based ROM. So any TW based ROM should have it included..
Hey all. Hopefully this isn't as obvious as I think it is. I have a Verizon Note 3 and recently dropped Verizon and went to Tmobile prepaid. I flashed Alliance's rom from the Verizon forum here and all seems to be working although sometimes the calls and connection are a little flaky. My question is this. ..since I am on Tmobile service now, should I be flashing Tmo ROMs here or should I stick with flashing Verizon Roms since that is the original maker of the phone? Thanks in advance guys

As long as the hardware is the same, and I believe it is, you'll probably get much better service on a T-Mobile ROM. Wait for a second opinion though.
Anyone else notice that after updating to Android 10, all the necessary Wifi Calling software is just baked in now?
I have the korean SM-N976N , Note 10+ 5g and am on USA T-Mobile. Now, on the Korean Note 8 I had to make a custom CSC patch which included some software from the F variant as well as the U T-mobile variant (as well as delete a Korean feature) to get Wifi Calling working.
However, on this 10+ 5g I haven't had time to root or work on a CSC patch to get WFC, but after updating to Android 10 a few days ago, it is just baked in by default now and works just fine. I did have to go into the Wifi Calling menu and change the preference to Wifi, but it is definitely connected and works great.
Now I'm really not sure rooting is even worthwhile anymore... adblock would be nice and CSC feature customization is also great but... everything just works now (minus phone-app Samsung Pay of course, but rooting wouldn't solve that).
-------------
Anyway - anyone else notice this? Wondering if AT&T WFC will work now as well.
KT- Hey! I ALMOST got a Exynos Note 8 a while back, based on your experiences fixing it for T-mobile. Now I'm seriously considering the Note 10+, because it seems even more US friendly.
There's been some talk about Carrier Aggregation. Has there been any progress? Does it REALLY matter? How slow is "slower" gonna be? Would I notice if I didn't have a US version right next to me?
I'm actually thrilled that the Wifi calling just works now! That becomes a huge issue for me once a year, when I travel to the deep Boonies to see my family.
Also, I'm thinking of getting the F/DS. Would it be better if I track down the N, like I believe you have?
Long time listener, first time caller. Thanks so much!
How has your service been? On my N975F, its been ok. Slow data speeds, and weak signal, have been issues ive been dealing with. Im also using on T-mobile in the US.
What about 5g? Did u managed to get it working? I live in China and technically n976n has to work on n78 band but it doesn't
