Samsung Galaxy S3 video calling - please help

Hello all,
I have a Galaxy S3 I747M from Telus. I was wondering if there's any way to enable the video calling feature like its international variant?
Just to be clear: network video calling, not third-party apps like Skype or Fring.
Thanks

I also would like to know this. Google hangouts is getting me by, but I would like to see it in the dialer

Is there anyone out there who can help? I can see the video call icon on my friend's phone and it's driving me crazy.
Please help.:crying:

dunno why its not on our phones

besides having the proper dialer app to make network video calls, isn't this also limited to your wireless carrier? i'm not 100% on this but i think you'd also need a video calling feature activated on your account with your network.

Use Tango

What part of "not third-party apps" wasn't clear to you?

I'm using my handset with a carrier outside north America, and it supports video calling.

Heh heh, I was going to suggest the same thing. After all Google Talk is not technically third party to Android
It works great by the way.
Edit: that is strange that it's not on play...
Here's a copy of mine: http://db.tt/XyDQNMv4

Hmm I just noticed my rogers sgs3 doesn't have video calling either like the sgs2 did. I'll have to play around as I'm sure I saw it originally. Also you should note that most carriers charge per minute. I used it last year and it was 40 cents a minute when I could have just used google video chat or Skype !

Any ideas? i9300 has this feature, while i747m does not.
waiting for your inputs.

The S3 I9300 is an international phone that isn't restricted by the phone carrier issues we have in the states.

Will installing a custom ROM solve this problem? and if yes, which one?
Thanks.

Yes it will. I was testing different ROMs yesterday and seen it included into the dialer. Wannalite I think. Dont swear me to that.
Edit: Check that. Diet ICS is your ROMS. Cheers

missing microphone icon on Samsung keyboard

I use the mic for voice recognition instead of typing on the keyboard and the mic icon was always on the keyboard until after my phone was updated by OTA accidentally (I hit the wrong button when I was on wifi). I can't get the mic icon back no matter what I tried in the keyboard settings. I even tried a factory reset and the mic icon is still missing and I have to do an extra step to get to the mic icon. Anyone else have this problem and were you able to correct it? It's an at&t note 2 SGH i317 Android 4.1.2 I317UCAMH3

Go to languages and inputs in the settings then keybosrd settings then select activate voice input button.

That does not work. What it does is enables the mic and afterwards reverts back to the "T" or text icon. I did a factory reset of the phone with no change I.e. can't get mic symbol as default.

What rom are you using? This is the international port mk4 stock rom.

I see exactly the same screenshot you posted. If I press the mic icon (no matter how short or long), it enables voice typing but reverts back to the T icon after voice recognition is finished.

Weird. Well until you update to 4.3 you will probably have to manually select it. The only other thing to do would be factory reset.

Well if that'd the case you either have to flash a custom rom or wait for the ota to 4.3.

I am not savvy enough to root or flash since I am new at this. Big learning curve for me.
The local att store told me 4.3 is cancelled and the next ota will be 4.4.
What carrier is your N7105 on?

I'm on att with i317 from att. I just flashed a custom rom based on the 7105.
Rooting pretty easy. Follow the rooting guide. I think it's in general.

What advantage do you get based on a N7105 rom? N7105 is international model and the frequencies are very different than I317? Just tryin to learn so I can choose which rom to go with.

The advantage is you get rid of all the att crap. You pretty much turn it into a non carrier branded phone. The att radio is the same so LTE etc works like it should.

I am looking forward to rooting my phone. I want to be able to use it on Straight Talk and T-Mobile prepaid SIMs and be able to do some light tethering. What is a good ROM to go with (there are so many).?
As a first step, I just got my phone unlocked at a small store that sells many prepaid SIM plans and also repair phones. They are licensed in NY and gave me a bill of sale with imei # on it for factory unlocking my i317. It was done with a usb cable to their computer and they say it is a permanent unlock.
Is there anyway I can tell if that is true or not?

Did you solve the Mic issue on keyboard? I noticed you don't have secondary keys on the Samsung keyboard..I have the codes you can enter to enable them,if you want them..

Mic symbol issue remains. I was in another att store with a note 2 with samw issue. Codes? Sure if it helps. How do I enter them?

Try the ditto rom the OP said new version tonight or stock n7105 rom works perfect. If you want aosp then I'd say omni rom.
You phone will stay unlocked no matter what rom you flash.

Call log not showing the state/city?

My Note 3 call log does not show state/city on both incoming/outgoing calls.
To my surprise my wife's unlocked AT&T Note 2 (same Android 4.3) shows state and city!
Called T-M and they want $4 "caller ID" per month for that!
Is there a free application for Note 3 to show the call's origin/destination? Don't need anything fancy just add this simple info to the call log.

If they do why AT&T phone shows all info?

Because AT&T controls their network. Different network different rules.

Att only shows city/state for non phone book numbers. Tmo's charged package for 4 bucks will deliver the actual name if it can find one (just like landlines), otherwise city and state.

This is an interesting comparison. Let's get a bit more technical.
Since we have similar hardware AT&T firmware version simply shows call info by default? In another words if I had unlocked Note 3 from AT&T (or reflash mine with non T-Mobile firmware) it would show the call info same way as AT&T Note 2 does?

It has everything to do with the provider and not the hardware you are using. T-Mobile blocks the information unless you pay for it. AT&T does not.

Forget what phone you have. Forget at&t. Ur on TMOBILE now and that is how it goes. Either way you pay 4 bucks and still way cheaper than at&t. Nothing can be done by you or a Dev. It is on a network

I am on tmobile & on note 3. My wifes phone is a nexus 5. Both are on tmobile. The nexus 5 always shows city and state of a caller with number. But my note 3 only shows the number.
Both the instance is true considering the caller is not on the phone book. If it is on the phone book it always shows the number & name.
Any haqs?

Enabling AT&T Advanced Calling Features?

I bought my s9+ from Best Buy and threw in my AT&T sim... everything works (though my signal seems weaker than my iPhone had) except for there is no advanced calling menu. I'd like to enable HD calling and WiFi calling if possible. Does anyone know of a way to do so?
Thanks!

apparently if you flash the carrier's firmware (assuming you bought the unlocked version of the phone) then you can get the wifi calling features for that carrier. There are a bunch of threads that have d/l links you can check out and ask in-depth questions about it.
HD calling is standard, and is enabled by default on the unlocked version, it's just called voLTE calling instead of HD calling.

Thabks so much for the info. One follow-up - Am I supposed to have a setting somewhere for VoLTE? I searched settings and don't see it anywhere.

"Network Unlock" App Installed with Android 10 Update

Hi All:
After I updated to Android 10, I noticed an icon for Network Unlock in my app drawer, but it went away soon after the apps were "optimized." It still shows up in my apps settings under "all", but I cannot access it.
I have a AT&T branded N975U running BSL7. Anyone have any idea what this app is or how to access it?
Thanks in advance!

it will let u unlock given your device is eligible.. vzw devices however dont have the option since according to vzw after so many days it will be automatically unlocked so no need to include it in settings like tmb does

im sure theres a time requirement.. most carriers have them.. i would check online for tmb device unlock policies if u want specifics.. every carrier has their unlock policies online.. its the best way to fibd out since most the time ppl on the internet will just tell u wat they believe it is and even reps half the time make stuff up to get you off the phone n dont actually look up the policies.. this is coming from a quality rep for a major carrier lol

Thanks, yeah I checked in their site and it says device must be fully paid off and active for 40 days for it to be eligible for network unlock.
Also they only let you unlock 2 phones in a year or line of service. What I find interesting is someone was able to unlock One plus 7 pro McLaren within a week of buying it.... Such inconsistencies and mysteries we may never know the answer for[emoji3]
