That's what the tech rep supervisor for tmobile told me. He said the G2 isn't designed for that feature like the MyTouch HD is. He said even with the apk the hardware wouldn't support that on the G2. Is he right or wrong?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I dunno. I don't trust tmo anymore.
I would assume he is wrong. Why wouldn't this phone be able to do it? Doesn't it just need wifi to be able to do wifi calling? Is that a stupid assumption?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Ugh. I'm a tech rep myself for tmo(taking a leave of absence at the moment), and I hate it when I hear stories like this. Look, he's wrong about the wifi calling app needing some kind of special hardware to do wifi calling. With the software, the phone is perfectly capable of it. The question is if tmo will choose to bring the wifi calling app(and possibly drivers?) to the G2 or not.
Either way, I'm willing to bet that the app will find it's way onto these forums and we'll have it working on the G2 in no time.
Sounds like he was suckering you into buying a mytouch.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
The reason for my call was to get rid of the G2 and upgrade to mytouch. My phone doesn't have reception inside my house and I had wifi calling I would be able to make and receive calls. He told me exchanging or working out a deal to get the mytouch isn't possible at all and that I won't be getting wifi calling for the G2.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
The G2 is capable of Wifi calling and it will be included in the OTA update thats going to start rolling out tomorrow. I was told the update for the MyTouch 4G and the G2 will begin rolling out tomorrow but I just got an OTA Maintenance Release on my MyTouch 4G about 10 minutes ago. I've seen the wifi calling work on the G2 as well as the wireless hotspot. You will definitely have them both.

I will say that my experiences with WiFi calling on the Mytouch 4G haven't been good at all. The call quality is terrible sometimes, to the point where the person on the other end of the phone can't hear me at all. I haven't tried it since getting the ota update tonight. I hope it works better now.

No you don't because its not uma calling. You will just be using the wifi signal to make calls instead of the tmo network.

Just speak with retentions and tell them you don't have service at home so they need to let you out of your contract..which they have to do providing you can prove it....then say if you had a phone with wifi calling like the mytouch instead you could stay with tmo

I kind of hope that we will get it around this month, the normal mytouch is getting updated this month along with the cliq and xt according to the leaked roadmap, and there is no update for the mt3gs except for july which already passed, so maybe we will hear something soon, I mean there are already dates for the droid,evo 4g,droid x, droid 2(should have froyo on release),samsung galaxy s lines, nexus one already received it, and where are us mytouch owners?

That makes me angry for some reason... I'm calling tmobile right now and getting an extra battery for free just because of that! I love taking advantage of those tools. They owe me anyways... they just upgraded my entire city with HSPA+ and the tower by my house is stuck with HSPA regular (in other words... havent ever gotten over 1Mb up or down). I am looking forward to the eventual release of froyo but am happy with the nexus port with a2sd and espresso camera and gallery (enables changing of lockscreen). But by the time we get it, they will have already released the HTC Vision (G2 Blaze) and I end up picking that up too. Lol... Im losing it, I think!
Ever since the Mytouch HD has been announced, i feel that the 2.2 update will never become available to MT3G Slide owners.
I've read that the 2.2 update on June that it would be available in sep or so, now seeing all these new phone releases like Vibrant, G2, MT HD, HTC Desire HD... i feel that the phone would be dumped.
I was too naive myself had a MT3G and was waiting like a silly boy for the 2.2, i think is easier to walk on water than expect mobile to give you updates.
I think Tmobile is a nice carrier but they are so slow on the updates that makes no sense in buying carrier subsidized phones anymore. Like myself i started buying full priced non branded phones and take the discount on my monthly bill.
I think i save money in the long run and i always threat them to leave if they do anything weird to me.
That's nice

I think its actually a mix between both. T-Mobile has to pay the manufacturers/google for the updates. Did T-Mobile pay google or HTC? If so, has google or HTC ran into issues that delay the updates. So we honestly don't know who to blame cause its more than one party working on the update. The safest to blame is T-Mobile since we do business directly with them as consumers.

Patience dude, patience. If you read the 10 other "wheres my froyo at?" threads, you would know that the mt3g has gotten froyo. So you can expect tmobile to keep their word since they have half fulfilled their promise already. Wait a little time after the mthd releases and you'll see your froyo

Mine went down to here in Cincinnati OH, right in the middle of streaming the game. (4g picked it right back up though)
I had full bars, and without moving I had nothing for a good 10 minutes before deciding to switch to the battery-draining 4g.

For future reference - do you have a direct number for them, or is it the usual "I want to speak to level two"?
Even Sprint employees don't have a direct line for them, they got rid of that last year. That being said, the EVOs were having data connectivity issues, and somehow it expanded into the Epic, Moment and Hero as well, but in a more limited scope.
so ive been tethering for like two months with no issue via my rooted glacier.
just got a text from tmobile..
889: Free T-Mobile Msg: Phone Tethering & Wi-Fi sharing access may be blocked unless you add a Phone Tethering & Wi-Fi Sharing plan available at my.t-mobile.com
should i be worried? can they really cancel it on a rooted phone? what gives.
well they blocked it now.
its just normal web browsing which is odd.
AIM still works, and i can still browse via tor. or manually putting an s to make it https. but that isnt practical for browsing.
any ideas? different browser perhaps? i wonder how they are determining that i am tethering.
ugh, any ideas would be appreciated..how annoying.
I talked to my brother and he said its probably my user agent. So I'm going to get the ref control add on and change it so its sending what my phone sends and see if that works. Ill let y'all know how it works.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Keep us posted of the user agent change, I'd be curious to know this myself. Data packets should be entirely agnostic to their network unless are they doing deep packet inspection or specifically monitoring non-port 80 traffic, or port 80 traffic with different user agent strings.
Any luck with your attempts?

Isn't free tethering still available if you use the android-wifi-tether app? or the one built into CM? I heard you only get charged if you use the stock wifi tethering app
No worries for you, its only looking for desktop user agent strings to block. At home I hotspot to my mt3g from my mt4g and then tether the 3g to the desktop. Its never got a warning yet. Can you believe Sprint might be buying T-mobile out? I'll be canceling that service, again.

The good thing is if this plans out correctly those of us with T-Mobile will be able to exit the contract w/o a ETF. I hate the fact of having to use ATT or BigRed.... Wait a tick. Cincinnati Bell uses the same frequencies @ T-Mobile where i live. So i could use them and keep my phone....
Lmfao, this was the ONLY way SPRINT could get some of their old customers back. Bad part is they are going to lose more than ever. And ruin another company..... run off even more customers and then sue them for cancellation fees. Lmfao all to pay for some dumbass races and yes I think Sprint ruined Nascar too.

Personally i followed LeMans racing. I followed NASCAR back in the day when i was younger, but heck i'm only 28. I like the various class of cars in LeMans, it brings a new dynamic to racing. I might have car that can do 30-40MPH faster than the next guy but it cannot pass him, it doesn't do any good. I also like grass root dirt tracks, those are a blast to go watch.

Use the Wireless Tether app instead of the stock app. You shouldn't get any warnings/messages. I have 3 different Android phones I use (I switch SIM cards out whenever the phone I'm using currently bores me) and I haven't gotten any warnings/messages yet and I tether to my computer everyday.
