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?

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?

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.

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.

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.
20feettall, do you work for tmobile? Or going by info you might have found online?
Your comment gives a sigh of releif.

It's definitely coming, think about it. TMo just announced the tethering plans and the tmo comet, mytouch, and optimus t launch tomorrow all with WiFi hotspot out of the box. I've seen the updated software running on the G2, one of my best friends is a field rep for HTC.

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

U can either pay 30bucks for the official Sprint one or You can Use Mobile ap (link in my Signature & Instructions For installing themes if u want) on Stock 2.1 Rooted with a custom kernal and have infrastructure Wifi tethering for free. However if you want to use 2.2 then no you most likely have to pay for the service to one of the 2 developers working on mobile ap for froyo get it working.. im sticking n 2.1 til they get it working on froyo.
the viperom one is infrastructure but its a hacked version of another sgs mobile ap i think.

I have the htc g2 as of right now. Originally, I only got the phone because of it's physical keyboard, but now, I'm kind of finding want of a larger screen. Don't laugh, I know there's a few mt4g owners out there that want a keyboard ;P well, my phone is already perm-rooted, but id trade for a stock mt4g if the owner is desperate enough for a keyboard xD

If you ever feel up to it, just hit me up ;P I've loved the phone so far, but the screen just doesn't meet my standards. As far as performance goes, cyanogen himself has a g2 ;P oh you don't need to return to stock, I'm willing to trade for a rooted phone. I'm just cautious cause I don't want to accidentally trade my working g2 for a bricked phone and have no one to blame but myself xD

You know the screen on the mt4g is only .1 inch bigger right? I mean it is noticeable... But was thinking if the screen size is what you want you can check out the Vibrant 4g or NS. Or a Vibrant 3g and you could get cash on top in exchange for your phone. Food for thought is all.

If you set up two rooted epics with wireless tether you can run the wifi file transfer on the phone you want the files from while running wifi tether simultaniously you can send files 1.5kbps to each other without a router. Juss sayin

Nope. If they were going to do it, EI22 was their chance. I asked via Twitter and got a negative response.
So i thought i had f**ked my phone after dropping it in the toilet cause it wouldn't turn on. so I call Tmobile and they ship out a Mytouch 4g slide. but i need to send in my old Mytouch and they said that if they found out my phone isn't broken I'm in trouble. So you will never see this question anywhere but is there a zip I can flash that will like totally Brick my phone. like all the way....seriously!!!!

take a "PD15IMG.zip" file from another HTC device, the Sensation for example, rename it to PD151IMG.zip and flash via bootloader. not sure if that works...
or, download stock PD15IMG.zip for the MT4G, flash via bootloader, and while it's updating, pull the battery, i heard that works.
tell me how it goes
i believe it's PD15IMG.zip... as in one five, not one five one...
Try flashing a custom rom for other phones like samsung and huawei

Getting the Slide is an option. They are still sending out regular replacement 4G's. I've got one out for delivery to me today.
But you can opt to take a Slide instead. (Not the Sensation though...nooooo...couldn't have that.) Must mean the Slide sales aren't stellar next to the Sensation sales.
Or, you know, you could tell them the truth.
If I tell them I just wanna swap my 4g for a slide will they do it

Well the 4G slide is great just one thing I miss about the mytouch 4G are the great developers.

If you call with a bad screen you will get another mytouch but what I did was I bricked my phone (on purpose) then said that one day my phone won't turn on or charge. Then they offered me a slide. For free. Everything was free but if you want overnight shipping. Cough up some mula
