Does anyone know if there are limitations to wifi? I just moved into a new apt., and I barely get Edge networks... Cell reception sucks basically.
But I just set up my 15/2 internet and am also using a wireless router which shows maximum connectivity on my phone wherever I am in the apt. I am using the TMO wifi calling app, and have psyched it with the GB patch (since tmobile thinks I have froyo). But I have trouble with random texts sometimes, even more often with MMS. Also calls are droppped rather frequently.
Just curious and hoping there if something I can do.

It can be picky. If you are using a faux kernel you will have alot of issues with mms. I have used every rom and every kernel combination, if you live in an area with no cell reception as I do... you rely on wifi calling for everything.
It is picky with wifi signal. As soon as I get a room or two from my router it will have issues. It sucks, but T-Mobile makes you have a pretty solid connection for it to work.
I have found fauxs aosp rom and ckisgns kernel to work damn near 100% for mms, txt and calls as long as I have good signal to the router.

Thanks... I might have to switch from CM7 and faux's BFS kernel.
I was 3 feet from my wireless router last night, and on the same 45 minute call, I was dropped FOUR times. I can't have a normal conversation, so I need to do something. I can live with spotty SMS/MMS, but I can't be dropping calls like that. I work from home often, and it would not look too good to talk to clients or whoever and continually be dropping calls every 5 to 15 minutes.
I will have to look into the AOSP ROM. I have only used CM from the beginning. I have a little fear of the unknown though, I have to admit.

Ok, but seriously, I am in a world of sh*t (<<-- actually isn't it hard to believe that private pyle from Full Metal Jacket is the same grey haired guy on Law and Order?....I still say that line to my girlfriend to freak her out... With an evil grin... "Hi.... Joker")
But anyway, I moved, and for whatever reason, in my old apartment, I had decent network coverage and full wifi and no problema, then I move, have spotty/sucky network coverage I understand, BUT I broke out an extra wireless router AND a wifi repeater I had laying around, and I can't even check the damn living wallpaper weather screensaver I have because my wifi gets dropped.
Someone above mentioned that faux123's kernels don't help the situation, but if I am going to switch ROMs--and I am not big on change in the first place--I want to know what I an looking for... I mean is this just like flashing a recommended ROM (thank you everyone, BTW) and hoping for the best? Does this have something to do with the NIC radio app? Or do I just have to clean off 200 mgbs or so of Keeley Hartzell pics (cyanogen joke)?
I am not going to drop $300 for a cell repeater, if I can just switch to a different ROM, but I don't want to be spending 12 hours flashing 10 different roms walking around my place going "No TMO, but I got access to Alltel, Cellular South, and the defunct Amp'd Network if anyone needs it."
Sorry, its morning and I guess I am a little cranky. [The new release of the perpetual beta Swype app is annoying me too. But swype is like a drug....you can't go back to hunt and peck after using it for a month.]
Thanks for everyone's input thus far and future suggestions in advance.

virtuous fusion works for me
besides virtuous fusion battery life being real sucky the phone connects to wifi calling with TMO just fine and sms and mms seem so far to be working fine ,granted i don't remember the last time i have had a 45 min conversation. sometimes you do have to turn off the wifi and then turn it back on to keep the wifi signal form cycling off and on.
i think your best bet is stock rom/radio/kernel combination. may be try that...
I don't mind going back to stock... Well isn't there a real live GB sense ROM now? I mean from another sense Leak?

The gb version of wifi calling is from the leaked mysense which was not an official release and hence might have some issues. But I am just guessing here thats why I suggest going back to stock (off course you can remain rooted when you try that).

Ok I have been reading and reading about how to solve this problem...and I have a TMO question... Anyone know anything about t-mobiles microcels that I hear will or are available at ~ $100 or so plus 1.99/month.
Is this just a wifi solution, our will this get me connected to the uma network?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
ok... not getting a lot of responses on the microcel question... And I need to flash something new quick...
I hate to ask these lameass questions... but what would be a good GB closest-to-stock ROM and kernel???? I would go all the way back to stock, but thought I would take baby steps, and try a GB sense ROM instead of CM7 (which is what I have now and had since February). Just chime in with any votes of approval... with network connectivity a rather important working consideration.
I read the virtuous fusion thread, and one of the gb sense thread, but it always hurts my head when I have to read about sense roms.....
Thanks as always in advance.....
If you don't want to try fusion sense, try evils espresso sense. It's gb with close to stock my sense. Used it for a little bit and works pretty well. I pick vf since it's prettier lol

I feel like that actress who plays the loony older sister in "Home For The Holidays" who looks at awe and wonder at how her porch light goes on when triggered by a motion sensor "magic!".
Virtuous Fusion made all my problems vanish like magic! Other than having to start from scratch on personalizing a theme for it, the sense ROM has exceeded all my expectations, and I now get a network signal in every corner of the house. Is this because of the radio app or just sense overall..? It is really dramatic.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Aosp rom's have lower wifi signal and slower data speeds by nature. Due to not having the full source code and such.
Glad its working for you.

Its amazing. I mean I loved the raw mold-ability of CM7, but I don't remember everything working in such a cohesive manner before. And I am sure most of it is theme-able, I just have to roll up my sleeves all over again...but still...wow.

Everything seemed to working earlier this week, however I was having more dropped calls so I checked wi-fi calling, and it turns out it is not on....

I am getting an error message when I am trying to make a call. The message says Error number 16, switch 597 or 599. I don't know what that means, and I can't place any calls!! What is going on?? This has happened before, and the customer service couldn't help because I have cyanogen 7.0.3 instead of stock, and it doesn't have the same settings. What is it and how can i fix this problem??

Well the first thing you should do is upgrade to MikShifted G v1.76. It's just a patch, so you won't lose any of your info. You can find the upgrade HERE. After you do that the MOD you want is on THIS THREAD. On that thread was also a link on how to change the PRL.
Force roam didnt work. And sprint data reset code for its msl isnt doing anything either

Do you mean ##775# ? When you say Force Roam didn't work, what exactly do you mean? Just trying to get a better grasp of what you mean.
##72786# and ##3282#, i typed it and the display showing what i typed went blank. The only way to get the touch pad to respond again was to hit the home button. And my phone did use the mod and i forced it to roaming but it still gave me a generic network error.

I am also having MMS problems. I used MikG 1.76. I switched back to x99percent Sense Stock rooted GB update 2.76.651.5. Works fine now. Maybe something having to do with MikG Rom. Mik hasn't updated it in awhile. Just released a few mods since 1.76

Not sure what your trying to do with ##72786# , as far as I know that's not a real code. ##3282# should bring up the ESPT menu, View or EDIT. Choose EDIT then enter your MSL. ##775# , is also valid. Just checked both on MikSHifted G, both codes work. Also just tried the Force Roam mod, all good. If you already updated your PRL / Profile. Try booting into recovery Wipe Dalvik, Wipe Cache, and then reboot.

Both sms and mms are heavily dependant on mobile data network. If you are connected to wifi and you are in a area with poor mobile data network or you don't have a mobile data plan then a lot of times you will not be able to send/receive texts or mms. If you have a mobile data plan try turning off your wifi before sending or to check for received messages.

Ok I Reflashed the MikG 1.76 and its starting to work again. No Generic Network Failure anymore. Sent mms on WiFi within seconds. No problem at all. Maybe it is the PRL. Try Reflashing the ROM completely if PRL doesn't work.
Its you bro. Not the network. "The key to self recovery is admitting you have a problem".

I tried it on my galaxy s3 using t-mobile hot spot and it kept redirecting my me to sign up for the hot spot plan. However, I did use a different WiFi router app and was able to tether. I am rooted btw.
Tether did not work with my S3, but does with my G2 and current S2's Did not get a chance to try a different rom on the S3 before sale tho so not sure about that.

Probably a stupid question on XDA, but are you rooted and running custom roms on your S2s? I'm interested if anyone has tried this on stock firmware with one of thee non-root tethering apps. I would test myself but I can't remember the last time I had a phone with stock firmware.

Im still running the froyo build from DFT but there are some problems, 3g doesn't work, WiFi works only after maybe 10 minutes then needs to re-activate WiFi, and calling sometimes does not work. It makes connection but the sound is distorting.
So. I'm looking for a Rom that only runs from my phone. No sense required. And hopeing that my 3 issues are resolved in this Rom.
I'm only running what'sapp, I surf a little and a couple of maybe 1mb apps, that's it basicly, so not much app data needed.
I'm hopeing there is a android 4.0 or higher Rom out there but 3.5 is really the minimum.
What Rom would you guys advise.
Thanks in advance!

I don't know the exact path but it goes something like this:

If you see an empty screen, you don't have any APN set and you need to set up one by pressing the menu button > New APN.
A search could have possibly brought up the same thing.
