I got the t-mobile wifi calling app running but it only says Enabling. I wonder if this won't work on the N1. I am giving it a try though. So far it's not looking good.
From what I have been reading we may need a radio update for this to work.
Thx for the app, so far it seems like it can't connect to Tmobile's backbone.
Ditto. Download fails each time
Edit: downloaded but not connecting. Is there anything special to make it call through? Then again I am using a nexus on T-Mobile.

Voice and Text over Wi-Fi would be revolutionary.
well maybe not but it would be nice!

Same here... Stuck on enabling.... I switched over from a bb9700 and loved the UMA on it. It was my only reason for being hesitant to switching over. If i can get wifi calling working on my vibrant that would be awesome. Tmo service is so sketchy at my house wi-fi calling is necessary!

Interesting...it appears to be working for me also...I'm running cm 6. Not showing any 3g or edge. Also not showing a continuous "enabling"...lets me straight into the app with no probs.
Edit...oh...now its cycling though the "enable"...sorry for the mis information
Are you guys on tmobile? I want to know if this is carried specific and if I can get this running on another network

I thought it was working...but I was getting hooked up to t mobiles network still...the phone was showing I was connected to wifi...but I still had network coverage. Guess it was still using the network for calls and text...so my case was a false alarm.

Just sits on "Enabling..." forever.
Sadly, it also got caught by WatchDog as 62% CPU usage...
I have been using mobile ap on my vibrant, but today it suddenly stopped. Data still works fine from the phone, but my pc (win 7 64) can't load a thing.
I get a solid wifi connection, just no internet. Tried usb tether and got the same thing. If I switch to the neighbor's wifi (shh...) it works fine. Flashed the new mobile ap for JI6, no dice.
the only reason I have my suspicions it may be blocked is that this happened after about 2 hours of streaming hulu. definitely not throttled, though bc I'm getting at least 1.2 Mbps on speed test on the phone. Also don't eat a ton of data other then today, so I'm sure I'm not at that 5GB limit.
Any thoughts?

tangent but i thought t-mobile removed that 5gb limit and would just throttle speed after hitting that "limit"?

That's what I meant. They don't cut you off per se, they just make it unbearably slow for the rest of the billing cycle after 5GB

I haven't tried today, but yesterday I was able to do it just fine. JI6 and AP for JI6. If I get a chance to try it today, I'll let you know if it's still working for me.
I do think I remember seeing another thread with a similar problem, not sure if it ever got resolved.
Same thing happened to me but tmobile said there was maintenance in my area. I haven't tried it this morning to confirm its working yet.

Ya, I'm sure it isn't everybody or there'd be a **** storm in the forums. I'm just wondering if maybe tmo looks at the rate of data condones consumed and figures the high rate must be tethered and somehow blocks that traffic?
Hoping that's not the case and I just need to change some connection settings.

That's totally different, and makes more sense. In my case, data on the phone hasn't at all been an issue - just my pc when it's tethered to my phone.

Does anyone know if T-Mobile allow tethering with regular data plans with up to 5 gigs, or do you have to pay extra?

Tethering is technically against t-mobile's T&C, however, they are really pretty lenient about it. In fact, as a rep, we used to help people set up their blackberries to tether until recently. That's the way it should be, I think. Let me use my data access and if I reach the throttle point in a couple hours and have it throttled the other 29 days, that should be my call.
Anyway, that's a tangent. Good news is, I downloaded barnacle and selected "skip wpa_supplicant" in the settings and it's working great now. Not sure what the issue was before since samsung's mobile ap DID work fine for the last couple months. ::shrug:: i can return to "abusing" my t-mobile web access now.
Good to know... I saw there's "Wireless Tether" app or something like that, which I'm guessing basically makes your phone a Wireless AP... has anyone tried it?
Wait up...cap is 5gb. Last month I heard cap was 10gb

If I am under contract can I get out of my contract at no charge since they changed their policy?
I would like to switch carriers, I only get 20-300kbps in my area on 3g and it keeps getting worse.

I ran into this issue attempting to run the JI2 MobileAP on JI6(and JI5), but I've not attempted to run JI6 MobileAP on JI6 for fear of having the same issue.
To get around this, I USB tethered off my phone and setup and adhoc on my laptop using that connection for others to connect too.

I thought it was 10 GB?
Is the throttling back an automatic thing? I pulled in a bit over 10gb this month and haven't experienced any slowdowns (right now I'm pulling 5.5mbps down and 1.3mbps up).
http://www.tmonews.com/2010/10/t-mobile-reducing-data-cap-will-throttle-speeds-after-5gb-of-usage/
supposedly on the 16th after 5gb data speed will be slowed, before it was 10gb

Bear in mind also that the throttle limit (10gb now/possibly 5gb later on) only applies to the data you have used when connected with 3g/Edge. Wifi is a wonderful thing when tethering!
I've been looking over a few threads here about the soft data caps that T-Mobile uses. I'm aware about how it works and everything but I've found something kind of odd. I've seen a couple of posts about other people having some success with it.
Over the past 3 or 4 months my phone has been my primary internet connection by using the hotspot feature. This phone is completely stock (non rooted, no custom roms, etc) and within a few days of my new billing cycle I would hit the 5GB data limit for my plan. Out of frustration I turned off WCDMA/GSM auto to GSM to see if it would work faster. I turned it back to auto after a day or two and found that I had been un-throttled. I would check the My Account app on my phone and it would state that I had been throttled but everything is working on 4G speeds.
So this month just out of curiosity I've been using as much data as possible just to see if anything will be done. I'm not trying to be a data hog or anything, this is just out of curiosity. I'm 7 days into my billing cycle and have used over 22 gigs and still going strong. I'm currently streaming Netflix in HD and have two laptops and another smart phone using the data.
Does anyone know if I'll see a cease and desist letter from T-Mobile or if anything at all will happen?
Side note: This phone/T-Mobile has really surprised me with the speeds and capabilities it has. I used an iPhone4 with AT&T to stream Netflix and the quality and buffering was horrendous in comparison.
This sounds extremely beautiful to me as I bought the 10$ 200mb and I blow through that in less then a day. If this works you would not believe how happy this would make me. As for T-Mobile doing a cease and desist order I would highly doubt it. When I had a T-Mobile dash 2 years ago, without a data plan I was able to connect to the internet free of charge, and I would watch youtube Justin.tv and so on. I did this for almost 1 and a half years and have seen nothing from T-Mobile.
so basically, all you did was turn it to only GSM for a day or two, and then back on and the throttle went away?
Im gonna try the same thing and see what kinda speeds im getting after I turn it back on. 5gigs goes really quick and throttled speeds suck, Drives me crazy.. Ill get back with my results..
Subscribing to this... I just got a throttle boner. If this turns out to work for other folks I will seriously **** my pants. I had to upgrade to the $60 10gb plan bc I have been using this as my primary internet.

Haha I remember this hack from the G1 days, when people used over 2gb data at that time. It actually works, it tricks the system I guess. I thought tmo patched it.
I've searched everywhere and can't find the setting, could someone shed some light.

Sure. Type *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer. From in there you can choose GSM only.

Just an update on my usage. I've attached a screenshot of the amount of data that I've used so far from the monitor usage section of mytmobile.com
Also a speedtest that I ran just now just to see what it's running at. Right now usually seems around peak time, the ping and download speed is usually a bit faster at night.

That's what I was going to have to do to try to avoid being throttled. If you get a chance to try it out let me know what happens.
If anyone else does want to try this if you could let me know what happens. Also if you could let me know the phone model, current data plan, and anything else that you think may be important. I'm curious to know if it is my phone, the MyTouch 4G's in general, or what. I don't know anyone else with a smart phone with T-Mobile that cares about this so if anyone could provide any feedback on this it would be great.
My refill minutes and data just started today and I'm already at 1 gig will probably report back next Sunday
I have gotten the "5gb throttle" text from T-Mobile a couple times but I have never been throttled and that's without doing this "trick". I've never done anything and still seem to not get throttled even tho I've gotten the texts saying they were going to throttle me for the remainder of my cycle. It did it on my MT4G and its also doing it on my Sensation now. Maybe I'm just lucky.
*knocks on wood*
Im trying this asap...I run a shoutcast radio station (limbik frequencies if anyone cares to know) and I drive a truck all night so have been listening via the 4g while i drive...needless to say I run out of data in no time. Even if I upgraded to the 5gb plan (which is the highest they offer me) I'd still run out...1mb per minute, 5-9 hours a night....doesn't add up right! Worst part is that its a nonprofit station that AOL pays for our bandwidth to stream...seriously I shouldn't have to pay out the ass to make sure its running and simultaneously enjoy it!
I've read around and noticed that there seems to be a lot of people having issues on EE, T-Mobile and orange with this device.
On my S3 the signal was amazing, never and issue but on this its always dropping signal and as for the data there's not much point even trying. Drops every single time you they and do anything!
I've been on several different ROMs and the issue seems to follow no matter what I'm on (CM10.1, PA, AOKP) etc..
Any ideas on what I can do?
Thanks

Glad I'm not the only one, I posted last night about it. I thought the wireless was the issue too but I think that's the dodgey wireless router in this building. Maybe we need to change APN settings too? I'm on orange.
I tried manually selecting the network instead of automatic and seemed to work for about 10 mins solid but dropped again.

I've tried that too. Tried restarting, switching off all wireless connections, etc. Not working well. Now I can't get the h on my wireless icon either.
http://orangeservicestatus.co.uk/ <--- I think I found out why... :/
BTW I spoke to an orange customer service representative on the phone earlier. He said he'd pass on the information to the technical department since I mentioned that a lot of people were complaining online about connection issues recently. My data connection was back to normal late afternoon. How is yours?
I use mine on 3 Network and must admit it's the fasted thing ever. I thought HTC was good but this Nexus is best by far. I left Orange a short while ago as they're useless.
I'm getting the same issue. On T-Mobile UK(EE) I'm thinking it is a problem with the sim card. Had a galaxy nexus before this and data was great. Got a micro sim from the store for this phone. It appears like the connections on the sim are all to one side and touch the metal sim tray. Don't know if this may cause the issue?

Hey, I don't know if this is a device issue or a problem with the carrier but, I've been dropping from 4G to 3G ever since I updated to the 4.4.4 NI2... this has never been an issue in my area before this update with any of the phones I've had.

I use it but not as my sms app... I've spoken with Verizon and they say it isn't their issue, Samsung said I could send the phone to them but it can't be a hardware issue because it only started after I updated to the NI2 firmware and modem.
So no one else is having this issue then? Cause Verizon is totally at a loss.

Verizon is a bunch of clueless idiots. I am seriously regretting my move from t-mobile. Verizon call quality, Bluetooth connections, and customer service are the absolute worse.
I wish I could help, but after doing some research it seems Verizon's poor signal quality and poorly designed networks are the cause of most of my issues. I have gone through two S5's and both are nearly unusable for phone calls. Network speed is the garbage. I am stuck with a pos phone and service for the next two years.
Seems like some kind of update in the area, after over a week I'm starting to hear complaints out of other phone users. Even a friend of mine who'd ranted about how if I had an iPhone 6 I'd still have 4G has now dropped to 3G while I'm starting to see 4G return little by little. It's been speculated that they are prepping for XLTE in my area and that could be the issue... little in the way of definitive explanation though.
Can someone post what there APN settings are, cause I looked around and the settings I see online do not match exactly my settings.
Settings, more networks, access point names. Unfortunately that won't give you any options. In google hangouts, settings, SMS, scroll down to advanced, access point names, that's where I had to change mine.

I'm having this issue here in LA. I chalked it up to the new NI2 modem at first, but I've flashed back and forth with NE9, NHA, and even NCG (original) and still seeing my 4-5 bars of 4G LTE drop mysteriously to 3-4 bars of 3G for no apparent reason. I'm even getting 1x at times. Also, to clarify, this is all while sitting still at my office in downtown LA.
The wall I have hit is simply:
Samsung offered to have me send the phone to them for possible repairs, which means going without my phone for at least 3 to 4 weeks...
Verizon, a corporate employee has confirmed that this is an issue that has been getting brought up more and more and they're working to correct the issue with the next OTA update. The problem is how random this issue is... why are some devices seeing the signal loss and others not?
It's a waiting game at this point.
