Hey everyone, new user here!
I've perhaps looked all over XDA and other forums trying to find an answer to this. I understand, that one cannot simply use Wi-Fi Calling on a Factory Unlocked Z1 Compact. I have seen talk of it being a possibility with later CM versions, and some users have tried to port Wi-Fi Calling... But there must be some light in this darkness - can we get WFC on an unlocked phone, through rooting or whatever means necessary? Thank you so much for helping out.
I also will mention that I have a minimal understanding of developing, but have flashed ROM's before.
Any update brother....? I read in a in a post that it had Wi-Fi calling on the international version. I got excited and went ahead and bought it only to find out it does not have it.

I haven't seen a thread after I lot of searching about getting JP3 to run on the Bell i9000m on Bells network with 3G/HSPA/2G all working. Forgive me if its posted here somewhere.
I got 2.2/JP3 to work on Bells network with everything intact by using Canadian CSC file and also the modem file (since I know it worked) from this thread entitled Release: I9000XFJM6 - Multi CSC(s) Europe by Richthofen.
I used the I9000XXJP3-PDA.rooted.insecure.clockworkmod for the code itelf. I can make calls and use data which I wasn't able to use on other releases due to the Bell Network. Phone is working sweet now with the usual beta type bugs from froyo; although I haven't encountered a whole lot.
Haven't tried flash yet.
Thanks to Richthofen for his CSC's and direct and informative thread. And of course since i've only had an android for a couple days the other posters especially the FAQ.
If this is something a lot of people have got to work then feel free to mod this thread. I just couldn't find anything by searching other then general information and other people that couldn't get it to work.
Hey - is your video calling still working with the upgrade to FroYo?
Thanks!
It never did work for me. Ill try with my G/F when she gets home.

that's a very good question
I never did get it to work. My gf was on the stock firmware so maybe that was the problem. Although I never got it to work on either of the 5 or 6 firmwares I've tried. All the times I've tried its been with my gfs phone. Tried on wifi and cellular.
Does anyone know if T-Mobile WiFi calling can be enabled on the vanilla Android S4 when it comes out. I was wondering if it is technically possible.
This is the only thing that's holding me from getting the stock Android S4 (when it comes out) instead of the T-Mobile S4.
From what I've read, the nexus 4 from Google doesn't support it, so I assume the dev version s4 would be the same since it is a T-Mobile feature. I also believe a lot, if not all, roms does not support this feature. I could be wrong, so someone with more experience pls chime in.

If you really value WiFi calling (and I assume you are with T-Mobile now), I don't even know why you don't just go ahead
and buy the T-Mobile S4. There is almost zero advantage the AOSP S4 will have over T-Mo S4.
Maybe you didn't want to root your phone, but then I figure, WiFi probably will not be included on the AOSP version,
and even if there was a way, you would need to root the phone regardless to flash the ROM/MOD.
In the end, I really see the T-Mo S4 as your best bet, as I can guarantee 99% you can flash AOSP ROM with all its features
more easily to a T-Mo S4 than to flash the WiFi calling feature unto an AOSP S4.
I currently have the Nexus S on T-Mobile. My two key features are Wi-Fi Calling and Wi-Fi Hotspot / Tethering. Hotspot/Tethering works great on the Nexus S, and there is no extra charge for it.
Wi-Fi Calling has never been provided for the Nexus S, and nobody has been able to figure out how to add it, so I'm thinking about upgrading to the GS4.
I see two approaches to meet my needs:
1) Buy the T-Mobile version, but have to root it and maybe load new ROMs to eliminate the unwanted carrier apps etc. I'm assuming T-Mobile would not directly offer free tethering like the Nexus S on their phone. I'm aware various apps promise to enable this, but I'm not sure about how well they work. Also, would loading alternate ROMs then cause the Wi-Fi calling capability to be lost?
2) Buy the Google developer version of the GS4. It presumably provides tethering like the Nexus S, but wouldn't have the Wi-Fi calling. Will that be impossible to add later as it was with the Nexus S, or is the GS4 Google version close enough to the T-Mobile version that somebody could port the app?
Advice or suggestions?
Devs have been trying to get WiFi calling going for quite some time. It's closed source and tied into T-Mobile somehow. I know its very complicated. It sucks because I'm used to aosp ROMs but I can't give up WiFi calling because my service is so terrible at home/work.
I know developers are still working on it. If they can get the sensors, ir blaster, and WiFi calling on AOSP I'll never look back. Given the fact that the Nexus GS4 will be Vanilla Android I'm almost positive carrier apps won't be installed. If they don't have the sensors working it'll be a downgrade from tw in my opinion.

The problem with porting WiFi calling to non stock ROMS is that the APK requires all sorts of libs to be installed with it.
It's been done before though. CM7 and CM9 releases for various devices had WiFi calling once the lib situation was figured out. And it worked great.
For other devices it was a matter of pulling the APK and the associated libs from a stock rom, keeping everything to still be recognized as though it was installed on the stock ROM, and putting it into a CM rom.
It was accomplished before. I'd be shocked if it doesn't get accomplished again.
XDA Devs are smarter than Carrier Devs!
Hey guys, I just got a G3 a couple weeks ago. There's a lot to like about the phone, but coming from a Note 2 for the last couple years with a ton of different ROMs, this stock phone seems to have bugs like those, even though it shouldn't (as well as a lack of the dev community. Where are all the ROMs and kernels for this?? I have the D85010f variant, which doesn't look like there are any options for?).
One thing I have a problem with is wifi. When I'm at home and turn on wifi, I would expect that my phone automatically connect to my wifi. However, it tries to connect to some phantom, open network called 0x, and in order to connect to my own network, I have to long press the wifi toggle and manually select my wifi every time. Why? Why can't I set precedence for connections? Better yet, why is there no toggle to NOT automatically connect to open wifi automatically?
Secondly, why isn't there a brightness slider? My friend's G3 on VZW has it. Why doesn't ours?
Often, when sending texts, it sits there for quite a long time trying to send the text, even with full connection. Further, I like customizing my phone, and one of the things I really like about the ROM I came from on my N2 was pulsing LED. The LED on this phone pulses when you double tap the screen, and on boot/shutdown, so why isn't there an option to have pulse instead of blink for notifications? I guess that's more personal preference.
I think there were some other things that I'm forgetting right now, but I'll edit when/if I remember them. Have I just been too spoiled with ROMs in the past?
Go to the att g3 forum
I see an ATT G3 dev forum, but not a general questions forum for ATT G3, which this is the closest to. Since I'm stock, I don't see how this would fit in the dev forum.

Thanks.
Question is though, why isn't this a fitting sub? I'm on ATT but these issues may or may not be unique to ATT.

Hi Guys,
I'm all shiny and new to this forum, so let me introduce myself real quick. My name is Saragn, I'm a security engineer from South Africa and I recently decided to start modding my HTC One M8. I produce music professionally in my spare time and have released music internationally under three different genres on various labels. I love tech and love playing with anything that is powered and has lights ha ha ha...
So, on Friday I installed the following ROM from Skydragon: "SkyDragon M8 v 3.1 WWE Sense 7.zip". It works REALLY WELL, I love how it has opened up the phone for modding. The only gripe I have is the wireless hotspot function does not work anymore. If I try enable it, it simply flicks between on and off repetitively. It is as if it cannot switch on. To stop it from doing that I have to enable the wireless, it then stops and the wireless enables. If I try switch on the hotspot again it does the same thing. I've re installed the ROM twice now and each time it does the same thing.
Firstly, apologies if this is the wrong part of the forum to start this thread, if so, please could one of you be so kind as to point me in the right direction? Thank you.
If it is the right place to post this question then some guidance would be highly appreciated. What can I do to get the wireless hotspot feature to work again? Thanks!!
Ciao for now,
Saragn
Try updating the ROM. Skydragon Sense 7 is now on version 4.1
Changelog for version 4.0 says "Fixed Wifi-HotSpot - may not work, will provide fix zip asap"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59633002&postcount=3
So apparently this is a known issue. But some folks report that WiFi hotspot (tethering) is working. Seems to be working for me on version 4.1, but I haven't testing it extensively.

There was a fix posted for v3.1 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59521467&postcount=2666
But it is advisable to flash a new updated ROM v4.1 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/rom-sd-4-0-sense7-port-sdkernel-t3062378
You'll have better experience with the updated one
Hi,
Thank you very much for the feedback. I'll try out 4.1 as per your suggestion. I'll let you know how it goes.
Regards,
Saragn

Hi there...Okay so another update for you. The wireless hotspot switches on now, so I thought it would be okay. It isn't. Even though it switches on and accepts connections, what ever end point I connect to the hotspot cannot browse the Internet and while the hotspot is on the phone itself cannot connect to anything so it seems that enabling the hotspot disconnects the phone from the Internet. I am not sure if you guys have picked this up yet on 4.1 ?
Hello, I would like to preface this post by saying I'm a complete noob to XDA Forums and custom ROMs as well. I've know about XDA Developers for years, just never been much of a tinkerer when it comes to Android, I just prefer stock.
Well recently, I bought a used LG G3 because the deal was just to good to pass up. It was my first time using a ROM other than stock and it was utterly disgusting in comparison. I hated it so much I installed my first ROM ever, and it was Candy5 for I heard CynogenMod stopped supporting the LG G3 is some capacity. Well, I've been using it for a while now and made it look as close as I could to stock, there's just one problem.
I recently enabled Wi-Fi calling on Ting. The device was a Verizon model, but I purchased it unlocked, and activated it on the MNVO Ting. Well, it wasn't working so I was wondering what's up. I read that you had to enable it within the devices settings, but all guides were not specific to the custom ROM I had installed, and even following along as closely as I could, the option for Wi-Fi calling wasn't there. I've read that if Wi-Fi calling doesn't appear, your device doesn't support it. But, everywhere I've read, has been consistent that Wi-Fi calling is supported on the LG G3.
So, I ask you long time tinkerers, do you know how to enable Wi-Fi calling within the Candy5 ROM? Does it just not support it? I even used the neat search feature within the settings app and couldn't find a switch for it. Please help!

Yeah WiFi calling won't be an option on AOSP ROMs... Its cooked into the stock software (for at least t mobile) and only works on stock based ROMs. There was a developer that tried to use the code from I BELIEVE the nexus 6 and adopt it to our devices but it never got pushed through. If you want WiFi calling/VolTE, stick with stock ROMs.

Ah, I see. Hopefully some day it would be available on custom ROMs. Using the stock ROM is not even worth the gloriousness of Wi-Fi calling, and that's really saying something, because my room is a complete dead zone for reception. I have to walk out on my porch every time I want to place / receive phones calls or SMS texts.

Yeah I completely feel your problem. Over at my house (which is in the maybe 10 minutes from the main bay area) there is NO reception, only when you walk down the street is there reception. When I was on Verizon I got their WiFi booster thing... Now that I'm on T mob, I use WiFi calling bakdd info their ROMS
