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

Anyone know how to increase network reception within the phone? My messaging is always shotty and it drives me nuts! Messages wont send on first attempt. I have to retry them and the person gets them twice. I always reboot or jump into airplane mode but its annoying as ****. Apparently the service on amy home isn't too good since it happens to my sisters intercept and her boyfriends evo but not like it hits me. Help!!! O usuallu undermind it thinking its sprint but im starting to suspect the radio now.. my old nokia candy bar pos had better reception 10 fold compared to these devices nowadays.

There is a thread on here for how to make 4g reception better. If I recall it had tips for 3g too. Your nokia was a gsm phone most likely. Way different from your sprint cdma phone in penitration of buildings
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Call up Sprint and complain about coverage and tell them you are going to cancel. They will send you a free Airave that you hook up to your router. Basically a small cell tower that covers the inside of your house and some outside. I've had one for over 2 years and it wouldn't go without it.
I will tell you one thing about the Airave that you have to get used to. There is a small (but noticable) delay when you are using it. You say hello, and it takes a second to a second and a half for the other party to hear you. Sometimes I say "hello?" twice just as they answer me once.
If you're rooted you can purchase roam control from the market. That'll put your phone on constant roaming and hopefully give you better reception

[Tutorial] Reconnect to 4G much faster!!!
- Ron
Its definitely thhe radio. On my hero I got 3g speeds of 3-5mb/s and always hadservice. Now I get 2 bars where I had 5. And sometimes I'll have allvmy bars until I make a call or send a text, then suddenly I'll have no service and everything fails, but when I hang up or back out the message app I get all my service back -_- sprints really annoying me. Everyone gets servicein my house but me.
My friend has an iphone andhe gets 3g full bars att
My friend with a MT3G (yes the original non 3.5mm having one) gets HSPA with full bars! As well as my friend with his HD2 and another with a droid x. I'm always told how great the service is in my house until they see MY signal

I've rooted my phone using the Ace Hack Kit a month ago and since then I have been having awful times with my 3G connection. I hardly get it, when I'm lucky I get EDGE, and I'm not even talking about callings that were also affected. I've tried several different Radios and I still didn't get a solution. I'm in Brazil and would like to know if there could be any connection of the rooting to the connection problems.
Thanks A LOT!

As long as you have a GSM compatible network's SIM inside the phone it should work, providing that it's unlocked.
Getting the right SIM can be tricky. Make sure you compare the one you get to one that works.

shouldnt be the case, you can use 4g or wifi when on the phone, try it and see if works over wifi while on a call
Yes if you have no internet while on a call its because you are NOT on 4G, or WiFi.

You have 4G where you live but the phone is not receiving it. Perhaps there's something wrong with it's hardware.

That's because the s3 is able to use 3G and calling at the same time. The S4 doesn't have the hardware for it. Since you say you have 4G in your area, when you make a call are you connected to 4G or 3G?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
I have 4G when it does this and this was doing that right out the box before I rooted it so thought it was just how the s4 was until it was rooted

Well all I can tell you is it works great. I just tested it, my phone was showing LTE, I placed a call, and when I was on the call I opened up internet and surfed a couple of pages, ran a speed test, and surfed facebook. So it is definitely something you are doing. You mention you are rooted, did you install a custom rom, which one? Your S3 had SVDO chip which allowed simultaneous data(3g) and voice. Sprint or Samsung got cheap and didn't include SVDO with the S4 because they hoped LTE would be more widespread by the time the phone was sold.

Double-check in your settings what mobile networks the phone can use. Specifically, make sure it's showing both CDMA AND LTE, and not just CDMA. For some reason, some ROMs default to just CDMA.
I did switch it it's still the same i don't know what it could be never had this problem before

Well, if that's the case then your phone is broken and you should take it to Sprint and have them replace it. Your phone should definitely be able to access data when on a phone call if you are on LTE or WiFi.

If you have the new tri-band model: SPH-L720T
Then you can not use LTE while on a call. I just found this out myself yesterday. I am a bit disappointed. on my old GS4 I could and this version I can not. I did use it maybe 2 or 3 times over the past year. Oh well.
