[Q] Looking for ROM w/ WiFi Calling. - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I work overseas and would like to receive calls using WiFi Calling. I'm looking for a stable ICS or later ROM that I can flash on my old Glacier. My internet bandwidth is also very limited so it's taking me forever to scan forums and downloading ROMs just to find out whether or not they have the feature.
Can someone please let me know which ROMs have a working T-Mobile WiFi calling feature?

You don't understand my question. I did not ask for a VOIP app. I asked for a ROM that supports the T-Mobile WiFi calling feature that allows me to make and receive calls with my T-Mobile number.

There is a flashable zip for ICS WiFi Calling. It's linked in Synthetic.Nightmare's aospx thread. It was always pretty buggy. You'd be better off with Gingerbread.

Yeah I tried synthetic nightmares aospx with WiFi calling and I guess my MyTouch 4G didn't mesh well with it. Doesn't mean it doesn’t work well with others but for me it didn't work all that well. Synthetic nightmare put a lot of hard work into the ROM.
The best option I can give you is do the latest CM 7.2 stable I believe and get dsrkside kernel. Best performance and battery life and WiFi calling is flawless on it.
CM 7.2

Don't forget to download the proper gapps for cm7.2
Darkside kernel

Thanks, but the kernal links are two years old and dead. Will the new 3.x kernals work?

You surely didn't look very hard. Always check toward the end of the thread for updated links.

Don't use ICS kernels with GB.

Been looking for a while..
I have been looking for an ics rom with wifi calling for my my4g for a while now. The best I could find was a gingerbread rom. I found the wifi calling zip, but it crashed every time I tried to open it, so I gave up and uninstalled it. Someone put a zip file out there I believe it was ported from a current tmo device with ics & wifi calling (maybe samgals3), but I'm not a developer and do not know how to use those files. I tried really hard to find an ics wifi calling rom and had zero luck, so now I've given up and am just trying to find a good rom that won't boot loop on me. Good luck I'll post one if I come across one.. I'm still looking..

[Q] RoyalMiui ROM

This is the second time i've asked this question. I hope someone can assist me this time. I flashed the RoyalMIUI rom however couldn't get wifi calling to work. i know about the issue were is FC's when you first turn on wifi and you have to pull the battery out. but i've yet to see a real answer to the actual wifi calling. can someone please help!!!
thanks.
I think I read somewhere on that roms page that wifi calling doesn't work with that rom but I'm not sure
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Wifi calling does not work on miui afaik.

I appreciate the response from both of you. I just wanted to verify if it worked or not. The roms awesome other no wifi calling feather.
The rom has voip its build in gingerbread since gingerbread has built in sip intergration which is more of a true wifi calling. The wifi calling app for tmobile isn't really wifi calling.

ok cool. thanks. i'll try that. do you know of any issues with bluetooth? i normally sync my phone to my car (for obvious reasons). however, with this rom i did and i couldn't hear the person i was calling. i could answer but thats about it.

I not sure don't have a bluetooth headset to find out if it does work. Only thing is try a different kernel. See if bluetooth is working with out syncing with the car first.

Android Build with Wi-Fi calling?

Does anyone know of any specific Android build than enables me to make phone calls through wi-fi without using an app like skype. Just regular old T-Mobile wi-fi calling.

All builds with tytung r10 kernel support T-Mous wifi calling.
I just installed NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.7 [GRJ22/Android2.3.4][Kernel:tytung_r10]
last night and it still wouldn't let me dial out through wi-fi. I don't want skype because t-mobile offers it as a free service. I just live in an area where T-Mobile doesn't have coverage and want to use wi-fi as a way to make my normal phone calls. I want to call nationally and not pay additional or get a different number for an app like skype or some of the others. That one had tytung r10 but still wouldn't work. Any other ideas?
SO ANYONE?

The only one working on T-Mobile wifi calling is tytung without being a T-Mobile user himself.
I would suggest start reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038784
All ROMs with tytung r10 kernel have enabled the wifi calling function.
I am not a T-Mobile user and i don't know what is needed for wifi calling to work but i suspect you need an app to enable that function.
Check the picture of the 1st post of the link i provided.
I appreciate it. I checked it out. I don't think it is fully functional yet but it seems like some good people are on it. It actually normally doesn't use an app. Once wi-fi is connected it just routes your calls through the router using a service called UMA.

[Q] Hd2 ICS Wi-Fi Calling

Hi,
I installed Tytung's ICS v. 1.4 on my Hd2 yesterday. It is a great work. Question is whether the Hd2 with Ice Cream Sandwhch can do T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling? TyTung has a Wi-Fi calling download but it seems to be designed for Ginger Bread.

I haven't had any problems using the GB Wifi Calling addon to Tytung ICS or MIUI-AU ICS. =) flash away and enjoy!
Good Advice, thanks.
Flash ... in the pan
Hi,
I tried flashing that radio. I think I did it right. Wiped the Dalvik cache, etc. Wifi calling won't work. Here's the error message: "Error: 'Connection Error': Wi-Fi Calling Android Application." Are you familiar with the error? At times, the phone says I need to register with Tmobile. Any ideas?
Ndmand
Do you have a newer sim card? I know the older sim cards are not compatible with wifi calling, at least not on the hd2.
Thank you, but I don‘t know if it is the newer type. How do I tell? The card came with the phone in April 2010. If I buy a new card, do I have to reinstall everything? Sorry, I am very new at this. I am pretty sure that I don't have a ext SD area, and the ROM is NAND.

I would suggest calling Tmo, just tell them that you need a new sim card as your phone keeps dropping from the network. They should send you one for free.
Thanks
For some reason, I was thinking that the issue was [possibly] the SD card, not the sim card. Now that I think about it, maybe the problem is that I went through Family Mobile service. It's the T-Mobile network, but maybe you can't do wi-fi if your Sim came through T-Mobile's Family Mobile offer.

That shouldn't be an issue, as long as you are on Tmo service then you should have that option available. If you had a Sensation then it would be working for you, you just need to get a new sim and try again.
TMO Advice
First of all, I really appreciate your advice. I went to a TMO store at lunch and had them look at the sim card. They said it is the new type. They told me, however, that I need to have TMO technical support to add wi-fi calling to the plan. The representative said it is a no cost addition, but you have to go through the process. I hope to get that done tonight. He said Walmart could do it, but advised that it is best to call TMO. I hope that work. It would make my phone much more of a asset.
Ndmand
I didn't have to have to do anything to my phone plan to add wifi calling. What he is probably referring to is FREE wifi calling where it doesn't take the minutes out of your bucket. 2010 is definitely too old of a sim card. It probably would work fine with other phones, but for the HD2 you need the newest sim card. Read this thread, it is where I learned about the sim card thing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038784
You are correct about it being added to your plan by the way, I assumed you had done that already, sorry. Just call Tmo, if they don't know what you are talking about call back and speak with someone else. They should be able to set you up.
How do we know if our plan includes the wifi calling feature that does not use our calls against our minutes or if it is using our minutes even when on wifi

T-Mobile actually does not do that type of wifi calling anymore, once they made that feature free they started counting it against your minutes. The purpose of wifi calling now is more to help with low signal areas.

I'm running Nexus HD2-ICS-CM9-v1.6 and I flashed Tytung's wifi calling for GB addon, but wifi calling doesn't show up as an app like it did running GB, am I missing something? Worked fine on GB. -Thanks
Doesn't Work with Wal-Mart T-Mobile
Thanks,
My phone would show the wi-fi calling interface, but it still would not work. I am convinced that part of my problem, probably the only problem, is that I am using the Wal-Mart T-Mobile. Wal-Mart's offer is $45 a month with unlimited calling, texting and Internet, but high speed Internet is limited to the first 250 megabytes. Well, after talking to them, I don't think their system is set to do wi-fi calling. I plan to stay cheap and do without the wi-fi calling although it would benefit me greatly.
Michael
Why don't you try it on a Gingerbread ROM first just to see if you can get it working there? I may try it on ICS next time I plan to update my ROM (in case it screws it up).
Hello,
I couldnt post under the WIFI Calling http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038784
Or I would have.
This was the closest thread I could find.
I am using ROM: NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA_V2.7.zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860
Baseband ver: 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14
Ok my issue was:
I was on an earlier version of android (I believe it was 4.0.1?) I flashed WIFI calling then restarted. When Android started up said Android is updating. As soon as I would activate WIFI phone would freeze. So I then updated to what is above.
Now when I flashed WIFI calling to new ICS 4.0.4 the phone lost Baseband "Raido" but WIFI would work lol. WIFI calling app would not start.
So I reinstalled ICS rom, phone back to normal. Basband back.
So if anyone has same issue that fixed mine. Would like to get it working if anyone could help me though

T-Mobile WIFI Calls if flash another rom?

Will i still have the wifi calling feature with tmobile if I flash a new rom on it? I want to flash something like cyangenomod but not sure if I will lose this feature!

I beleive that the rom has to have wifi calling in it for it to work. Also you have to have tmo for wifi to work. Att and Verizon are working on getting wifi calling as well but will not be rolled out till next year. I could be wrong. But this is what i read up to now. If any one else knows please correct me.
There are some ROMs that have wifi and volte working (XtreStoLite). Most of them don't the last time I checked as they were based off the international version.
On CM you'll lose Wi-Fi calling. It's a feature on T-Mobile roms and is a proprietary app.

ROM with wifi calling T-Mobile

Hey guys,
Recieved this phone as a gift and noticed that it has no wifi calling feature which is important where I work. So I am hoping that you guys can share with me which custom rom is best for wifi calling on Tmobile?
Thanks in advance
AFAIK, there are no Platina ROMS supporting WiFi calling. No idea why, but I am sure there must be a valid reason for it. Perhaps the firmware doesn't support it. Dunno. I too would love to have this feature.
