It's technical possible, but take a look at the positions of the microphones. They are not right placed for voice calling like a real phone, it wouldn't be a great experience to use it. And btw isn't it too big to call someone?

Maybe he wants to call add he uses it but with a headset. Don't have to put it up against your ear.. Looks funny though. my girl and I called each other with gtalk and she had it on her ear

Can't use a headset with the Nexus 7. No microphone input.

Not likely anytime soon. 4.2.2 is expected to be just a bugfix.

Nexus 4 wifi calling

I bought a nexus 4 from Google it does not have wifi calling. I use the pre paid minutes plan with t-mobile.
Is it possible to get wifi calling enabled on this phone somehow?
I don't have much of a tower signal at my house in the country.
Thanks

It's not possible right now.

Have you tried talking to Tmobile? I seem to remember someone saying they had a device that plugged into your router but provided a cell signal. I could be wrong though.

Other nexus devices
With the news that the S4 and HTC One will be sporting Google's vanilla OS, I guess neither of those will be able to use wifi calling either. Seems like a waste.

One would think that t-mobile would want to correct this to gain customers. I do get a strong ATT signal at my home in the country so if I go that route t-mobile not only loose my business but also of my daughter and granddaughter.
Oh with our unlocked phone's it's easy to switch.

On a prepaid plan, tmobiles WiFi calling uses minutes. Get the Vonage app for free outgoing calls over data.

But no incoming calls which I need. T-mobile goes both ways. There are any number of apps that do out going calls via wifi but not in coming.

Try looking at GrooveIP on the Play store. That's what I'm using and it works. It basically uses your Google Voice account and forwards the calls via data (wifi).
If that doesn't work try Talkatone(?) I've never even looked into that app, but it's just a name I hear mentioned in threads like this. Actually, I think it uses Google Voice to forward the calls too so that might not be a good solution if GrooveIP doesn't work. Anyway, hope you find a solution that works.

For those of you who want the best quality out of your $30 smartphone plan, I made a 12-part video tutorial showing how to do it.

It's much better than GrooveIP, Vonage, Talkatone, Pbxes.org, and everything else, especially those with the "one big green button" solution.
This method gives you HD Voice (G.722 codec), bettery battery life, and much better options for logging/blocking/recording. You can even set up hold music. Yup, I said hold music.
It used to be difficult to set up until I made it as clear as the nose on your face in the video tutorial (with actual commentary instead of techno music).
Spread the word if you do it and it works out for you. I believe everyone deserves high quality and limitless VoIP WiFi/4g calling.

3G disconnects when on the phone

It it normal for my mobile internet to disable when I'm talking on the phone? And when I cut off it comes back

It's always done it for me so I'm assuming it's normal

Are other phones like this?

I'll also say my old Galaxy Nexus and HTC One X did the same - I'm almost 100% sure it's normal behavior in Android

If I'm not mistaken it's because your using 3g to call someone. Now if you were on 4G and try to call somebody most likely it would still say 4G on the top notification bar because it's using your non LTE band to call somebody and allows you to use LTE for data purposes so you would be able to hop on the internet and browse at the same time on a call. Now I know with AT&T you can call somebody and browse the internet while on 3G.

HD Voice not working

Does anyone know how to check whether HD Voice is enabled on the handset. Im currently with 3 network in the UK who state that the device is HD Voice enabled. When i call my friend who's also on three (also has a S5) there is definately no HD Voice yet when we use our S3 it works everytime. Im wondering whether 3 have it turned off on their rom but aren't saying.
I tried the menu options which worked on the S4 to see if WB-AMR was enabled but it doesn't work on the S5. Any ideas?

I'm on 3 too and was wondering the same.... how do we enable it...when you make a call there's a little phone icon on the right....what's that?
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Pretty sure there isn't an option and it will be enabled by default. You both need to be running on at least 3g to use it.

Im 99% of the time on H+ as well. Was on 4G the other day and still no HD Voice. The little phone icon allows you to enable extra in call volume that's all it's for.
Hopefully someone will figure out the service menu to check if it's enabled. It's annoying me

Cheers stevie....If I find out ill.let you know

I want to know either...

Bump, my girlfriends S5 doesn't pick up wideband audio calling and it's frustrating. Were on Rogers network in Canada. I'm on moto x and I get HD voice with iPhone 5 and nexus users, just not her Samsung S5.

HD Voice on T-Mobile

I have the 98/33 radio with stock ROM and kernal running 4.4.4. I am rooted and have ro.ril.enable.amr.wideband=1 in my build prop. I went to a T-Mobile store and made a call from an S5 which has the HD indicator and it did not light up when I called or when I received a call.
I am at a loss as to if our nexus 4 is capable to have this work on T-Mobile.

sure. I get HD calls all the time, on my n4 and n5. it'll only happen if the other phone is connected to HD calling as well. when you called your phone from an s5, what didn't light up? the n4 doesn't have any kind of indicator, but you can hear the difference in quality.

What radio are u running? What are your settings? I verified with a phone S5 which has an HD indicator and it was not lit when I called it or received a call.

because i use my nexus 5 mostly. sometimes I'll use my n4 as a daily, but usually its the n5 as a daily and the n4 as a WiFi device. last week I used my n4 as my daily(phone) for a day and was getting slightly faster speeds on my n4 than my n5(64mbps download/21mbps upload). and I've never had an issue with the radio, so I keep using it. oh, and I'm using KitKat, 444(lichtis rastakat).
---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------
try using the lte APN, maybe it'll make a difference.

I've flashed the 84/33 modem and will test it out at a T-Mobile store that has a working S5. If the HD is working, the S5 indicator will show HD. That is the only way that I can verify if it is working.

SMS/MMS
I think the question should be who makes calls anymore

After going to a T-Mobile store which has a working HD indicator phone(S5), I can report that the nexus 4 does NOT support HD voice. I tried all of the radio combinations and the indicator would not work on the S5.
Unless there is a codec that can be installed, I don't believe our phone has the hardware to support this function.
I reserve the right to be wrong and hope someone can show me how and why I am!

just like I claim it does, so do they http://www.anandtech.com/show/6594/tmobile-announces-amrwb-hd-voice-calls-active-on-its-network
I placed a number of calls between T-Mobile users last night to try and gauge any perceptible difference. I've previously heard AMR-WB demos and run loopback calls on the Anritsu base station emulator, and there is a perceptible difference. I originated a call on a Nexus 4 and terminated it on a Nexus 4 with both on T-Mobile, which sounded excellent, and then between an iPhone 5 (attached to PCS WCDMA here in Las Vegas) and a Nexus 4, which also sounded very different than an AT&T AMR-NB originated and terminated call. I need to do more testing back home, but T-Mobile's claims that this is live right now and working seem credible, calls sounded crisp and much more intelligible than some of the AMR-NB calls I've been on.

I am basing my info on fact, not feeling. You need two working phones that support HD. The S5 displays if HD is working. It did not display when I tried all radio combos. I also tried the sine wave on some of the radios with nothing to report. If someone can report that the 2nd device they are testing has an HD indicator, and it does work, we can have a conversation.

maybe the s5 can't tell if its connected to a HD call with a nexus? I have a s4 as well as a n5. Samsung has some really crappy software for sure.

One of the reps in the store had an IPhone 5S and and it worked, so the only other reliable test is the sine wave.

I think T-Mobile US needs sipXtapi for HD voice.

All of this talk about HD, now I want to try it out too :fingers-crossed: even though I hardly make phone calls anymore...
Just like the whole 4K TV craze and 1440 x 2560 display resolution on phones...

Nexus 4 does not support HD Voice in hardware. It had a software support for HD Voice till 4.3 , then it was droped.
So, unfortunately, you will get no HD Voice on Nexus 4 with kitkat.

According to anandtech nexus 4 supports hd voice however it isn't on the T-Mobile whitelist. The nexus 5 however is.
From the link:
" I’m actually very impressed with how well the Nexus 5 performed at rejecting noise using the normal babble distractor track I use. In addition this was a T-Mobile AMR-WB “HD Voice” call between two Nexus 5s, illustrating that the Nexus 5 is indeed in the T-Mobile whitelist for HD Voice.
As an aside, the Nexus 4 oddly enough still hasn’t been green lit for HD Voice on T-Mobile, and given its age probably never will at this point, although the hardware is entirely capable."

I remember having this working a long ass time ago, (working with N4 to N4 calls) and some kind of upgrade killed it and it hasn't worked since. I'm now testing with N4 to N5, and can't get it to work. I can test the N5 with other phones and it sounds clear as day different, but the N4 just doesn't work.
I've tried flashing these custom radios on my stock 4.4.4, even modded the build.prop, yet I can't get the thing to work. Anybody else able to get it working?
