I've done several Google searches on this topic as well as focused searches on the CM and XDA forums; I figured it was time to just ask the question myself.
So I noticed that Wifi Calling started missing in in the CM7 nightlies sometime after #21. I ran across someone from the CM forums who saw theirs returned after his upgrade from #28->#30 (which I did not see on mine even after a full wipe).
Is there a setting or condition on my phone that prevents me from seeing/activating this feature?
Thanks in advance,
Reg
I've been running CM7 since build number 0 and now I'm on build 31, I have flash every nightly released and have always had wifi calling on every single build.

So I did a clean install of #21, which had wifi calling, but when I upgraded to 22, it was gone. Might anyone else know what I can do to install?
Thanks,
When you are upgrading, what are you wiping? You only need to wipe cache.

I've tried multiple things: cache wipes, no wipes, "clean" installs, manually formatting each mount point. None of that matters for me. Wifi calling only shows up in builds up-to-and-including 21; after that, it just vanishes.
Thanks for trying though, dude.
As i installed the CM 7.0.0-RC1 with Nightly version 2. and i found the same thing means WIFI is not working but when i press the power button and found the option REBOOT and select this option and then again i select the option REBOOT, Phone rebooted and then turn on wifi and it started working. so all you have to do is to Reboot the phone as i said. you will hopefully find your WIFI option working.
as i had the same.

Yes, it is well known that a first reboot is required to get WiFi working on CM7 right now. OP's question, however, is about the missing WiFi calling application.
OP, that's very interesting that it won't show up. So if you do a clean full wipe and install of something like RC1 or higher, you still don't get WiFi calling? Mine has been in there on every build... hmm..
I did'nt Wipe the Cache , I did the reset factory settings option. and install the CM7.0.0-RC1 with nightly version 2. and after done i found the wifi option is not working.
as i told when i rebooted the phone and i found the wifi option working.
Do you have a g2 or a desire z? I am looking at the changelog right now and it says that wifi calling is only installed on the g2. I'm assuming that you have a g2 since you are asking about it, but just throwing my 2 cents.
Maybe the rom is thinking that you are running a Z instead of a G2. Idk. It might help. More than likely not, but it's worth saying IMO.

I know what you are saying . but i tried everything after that i said so that wifi calling is working. as you find the WIFI connection then go the wifi calling app and then enable it and connect to tmobile network so that you can use it. but if you are in such area where Tmobile network's service is bad then might there be a chances to have no connection with wifi calling even if you have connected to wifi network (Internet)

now i am store working and i have a wifi at my job too. so i connect there carefully once again and checked everything and when i open to the wifi calling app and connect to T-Mobile Network for wifi calling i see after connecting to Tmobile via wifi radio signals turn to zero and when i disconnect it singals first had a 'x' on it and then they turn green. so make sure you are using the tmobile network then you will be able to use wifi option.
Hi all, I just recently updated my Defy from CM7 RC1v2 to a nightly (110825-0058). Back when I was on RC1, I used Wifi Tether from the market and followed the instructions on a modaco thread (pushing the hostapd from an update zip into /system/bin), and was able to share my 3g data over wifi flawlessly. Now after upgrading to the nightly, Wifi tether no longer works (getting an error in the log that says failed to intialize wifi and hostapd. The stock Portable Wifi hotspot feature in the Wireless/Network settings also won't allow me to share 3g data (It only seems to work, I'm getting the portable hotspot active icon in the notification area and can successfully connect to my phone AP, but I get limited connectivity and am unable to open any web pages. I've checked my ip settings and everything is fine (same settings i used back in RC1). My 3G data is also enabled, and am able to browse the web just fine on the phone. Upon checking system info, my kernel is already 179-4 (which is what supposedly works with the wifi hotspot feature accdg. to the main CM7 dev thread). PLEASE HELP.....I used this feature a lot and had no problems with it back in RC1....

Hi,
I'm trying to get smart network to intelligently manage my WIFI and data networks. Data works fine, but I'm having trouble getting wifi toggle to work. The device won't see any wifi networks after wifi has toggled off. I have to manually toggle wifi to get it to connect again.
Does anyone have a alternative app solution for my purposes?
Currently I've got working with Smart Network:
Turn off data on wifi connection or screen off.
Activation timer of 20 minutes (2 minute duration) for data connection.
I would like to add:
Turn off wifi x minutes after screen off.
Activation timer (periodically connect wifi network).
keep wifi connection on selected networks (wifi whitelist).
Current setup:
Nexus 5X on 6.0.1. stock ROM.
System root 2.5.2.
Latest Xposed framework and lastest version of Smart Network and Gravity Box for MM.
ElementalX kernel 1.0.4. (stock kernel didn't work either)
I've got little hope for Smart Network app being updated (i've already posted in the appropriate thread) so i'm interested in knowing if anyone else has a similar setup.
Any suggestions?
Does anyone have wifi calling working? I switched about a month ago to Project Fi as AT&T did not allow wifi calling on my 2XL. Where I live cell service is almost non existent, so having wifi calling is a huge plus for me. However, the last few times I have tried to make a call it tells me the call cannot be completed. I have checked the settings and wifi calling is enabled, one thing I don't see (maybe not even on the 2XL) is the little + icon next to the wifi when wifi calling is available. On a previous phone if wifi calling was enabled, that little plus symbol was there to show it as active.
Anyone else having issues? Was not working on P DP4 and also not working on P DP5. Going to contact Fi if I cannot figure it out, but wanted to check here first.
Thanks.
on DP5 now.
I do not use Fi as primary number (AT&T is primary), but Fi is backup.
At times when I re-activate it takes a few minutes for wi-fi calling to work.
I generally turn on airplane mode, then turn on wi-fi, as at home I have strong cell signal so it usually goes over cell, but test wi-fi every so often.
It initially failed (as I just activated, told me to turn off airplane) but after the 2nd attempt it works again as expected.
It has been like that throughout the dev previews for me, though, Im not sure if they are to blame, its been quite awhile since I tried on O, so I dont recall any issue.
Wifi calling works fine on T-Mobile in the states
Found another thread saying that Hangouts needed to be installed for wifi calling to work, sure enough it worked when installing hangouts.
Just uninstalled it again though, set to airplane mode, activate WiFi, calling works. Weird. Will just leave it on airplane mode while home. Wonder if I can set something up in Tasker to enable airplane mode when connected to my home WiFi.
Weird, today tried to make a call and it failed again. Even with airplane mode active and WiFi activated. Installed Hangouts again and the calling works right away, I hate having to have an app installed just to use a basic function but oh well.

interesting. I had previously had hangouts and hangouts dialer installed (yesterday when I replied to you) uninstalled them today, re-activated Fi, turned on airplane mode, turned on wi-fi and call went straight thru.
Not sure what to make of it though, and I know it doesn't help you, just reporting.
Tried to make a call just now, Hangouts installed, did not go through. Disabled cellular data and the call went through fine. Going to play around some more with Hangouts uninstalled, wifi on, cell data off etc. and see if I can get it reliably working.
Anyone know if WiFi calling works on Verizon. I have unlocked Google certain if phone on Verizon service running Resurrection rom.

Yes, I am on Verizon and WiFi Calling works. I have a delay at the start of a call but it switches to WiFi just fine.

How did you get it working? Are you running a custom rom or stock? Do you have the Google version or Verizon version of the phone? Did you get a WiFi activation screen when you first turned on the wifi?

Been using Project Fi for around 10 months now. Switched to it because no cell provider could produce a reliable signal where I work so I needed the WiFi calling and it has worked almost perfectly for me. I would contact Project Fi support if I were you. On DP5 right now.

I am on a Verizon version Pixel 2 XL, so no root and pure stock. I just went to Settings>Network&internet>Mobile network>Advanced>Wi-Fi Calling and enabled it. I think maybe the first time I enabled it, it popped up a Enabling Wi-Fi Calling or something but that was it.

Verizon says it should work but it doesn't. I can go thru the same steps you mentioned but it wont actually connect.I also cant get google voicemail working...it keeps trying to use verizon's voicemail.
Wifi calling quit working again, anyone else have this problem? Fi support don't seem to have any clue, going through various settings that all seem to be making no difference whatsoever. If I try to make a call it just says "Cellular network not available" and the call fails.
Turning on Airplane mode and then Wifi - gives an error of "To make a call turn off airplane mode"
Hangouts, Google Connectivity Services, Carrier Services, and Google Play Services are all installed, enabled and with unrestricted data usage set to enabled.
Configure IMS calling is enabled
Wondering if I should disable and then re-enable the Google Fi carrier to see if that does anything.
Cell signal here is awful, which is why reliable wifi calling is so important.
Worked for a couple weeks, now back to the same old "Cellular network not available"
Bloody maddening.
Pixel 2 XL on Pie, UK network EE. Never had an issue with it, works flawlessly. I don't have to do anything like aeroplane mode. When I'm connected to Wifi it shows I'm using WiFi calling in pull down notifications and on-call screens. All I did was enable the feature, so on that basis, I would say it's not the feature and more likely the service/wifi being used.
Has anyone activated a OP 7T on Google Fi recently? If so, does it work well and does WiFI calling work?
I have activated my OnePlus 7T on Google Fi and have been using it for about 2 or 3 months now. I'm not sure about the WiFi calling, I don't see an option for it in the Google Fi app, and I don't see an option for it in System Settings anywhere. I can tell you that you can't install Google's Phone app. I don't know why, it shows up in my Play Store Library, but I don't have the option to install it. Service is still good. Sometimes calls do take time to actually start dialing and there are a few locations in my area between cities where my service will drop but the radius that I lose service in is rather small. I didn't have the service dropping issues with my Pixel on Google Fi.

I switch back and forth between my Pixel 4 XL and My OnePlus 7T, and I also use Googe Fi. If you're rooted, you can download the google framework magisk module. I then downloaded the google phone app from apkmirror, and set it as default phone app. I also have the WiFi Calling option in the Google Fi settings. WiFi calling is funny like that with Google Fi though. for me, the only time that I actually know that I'm on a WiFi call is when I see the WiFi icon on the connected call screen of the phone app. Hope this helps.
Yep, not google fi here, but using the google phone app. Install the google dialer framework magisk module. Then you should be able to get google phone from the play store. Make sure you go to google phone's app info and allow "display over other apps" or else the chat bubble (whatever it's actually called) won't work. I have it set as the phone app, and the oneplus one disabled.
The oneplus dialer is better suited for dual sim calling though :\
So I've got a OnePlus 7T and wifi calling had been great for several months. I just noticed today that it wasn't working, and the option is suddenly gone from my Fi app options. Has anyone else experienced this?
That said, if you need wifi calling I may hold off on switching until someone else can verify that there's is ok.
I am using it. Activated few days ago on tmo version (HD1907). Prior to that it was converted to international fw 10.0.16.HD65AA.
Everything seems to work except:
1) I have option to enable Wi-Fi calling in Google FI app, it is enabled. If I turn phone into the plane mode and enable Wi-Fi it doesn't allow me to call saying I have to disable airplane mode. This used to work on Pixel. So I cannot tell it VoWiFi works or not, maybe yes maybe not, you will never tell unless check your billing and/or be in an area where you only have Wi-Fi and maybe roaming. I wasn't.
2) I am unable to switch network to Sprint, even though it shall be formally merged with TMO by now. Signal Spy just cannot do it. That said, it used to do it on Pixel couple years ago, but stopped working even on Pixel. So I am uncertain if that is a body or merger issue. Yet have to be in an area where only Sprint or US Cellular towers are present, but this will hardly happen.
3) FI specific google VPN does not work (this is for a good in my book).
Visual voicemail works with OOS phone app.
I can install google dealer without Magisk module, so that module is not needed on this FW. I don't see any benefits to use it though, except if I would like to use Google's call screening and spam protection. I am using a 3rd party dealer anyway with its own features like that pre-existed Google's implementation. I.e. if that is an issue, that issue can be solved by a 3rd party SW, you are not bound to Google here. But you can install their dealer on global FW if you so want.
Other than that everything seems to work. I'd like to see what happens in roaming but I don't expect problems there. It would be a very strange idea to prohibit roaming based on the IMEI. Anyhow, there is no way to check during the times of closed borders.
I didn't install a second SIM yet though.

Update: today I was in the area without network but with Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi calling with FI works. I was able to make and receive calls via phone app. App was showing it is calling via Wi-Fi. So that is purely artificial SW limitation that I cannot make calls from Airplane mode with Wi-Fi enabled, when in such situation it works.
I've been using my 7t on Google Fi for about a year now. I am using stock software and stock apps for voice. I installed google messenger to resolve some chat issues (from play store). Wifi calling works as it should with stock dialer as well as mms/sms.
The only issue I have had is... the phone will not automatically switch to the strongest provider. In my area, the strongest provider is t-mobile, therefor I essentially have a t-mobile data plan through Google Fi.
Typically I find that wifi calling increases the time from when you finished dialing to the instance of the phone actually ringing. Without wifi calling, the timing is spot on.
zero complaints.
