I have been trying to find an answer to this all over the forums. Has any of the cooked roms enabled the VOIP capabilities back into the phone?
I am using the VZW 6800 and would love to be able to dial over wifi with my asterisk server. I know VZW removes this feature, but I have not found out whether any of the cooked roms, including DCD's roms have added this back in.
If anyone knows, or has used this feature, please let me know your experience.
Thank you!
Check the last pages of this thread and you should be good to go. Over wifi things are good but over 3g it's not.

I have gotten the voip stuff working on my sprint mogul w/ the sero plan (connected to gizmo), but there are a few things that keep me from using it:
a. even though it *does* work over the EVDO connection, with both evdo and wifi the outgoing audio is really clippy (both bluetooth and wired headsets tested)
b. for some reason, when I have voip enabled I can't get phone service half the time... it's like I put a 6db attenuator on the receiver and it only gets service if I have really good signal to the tower
c. the audio is so quiet that it's virtually unusable that way
follow the above linked thread, I think that's where I got my info as well.
Also, keep in mind that the 'net connection you use has to be initialized when you try to make/receive a call (use PIE if need be, particularly when using the phone's internet connection rather than wifi), and in order to make outgoing calls, you'll have to make your own dialplan. (edit ipdialplan.xml)
I can post mine, if you want, I just don't have it with me. if you would like me to, PM me ('cause I might forget to check this thread again) and I'll post it here.
Hello,
I've been trying to enable tethering (BT, USB and WIFI) on my new S5 Active with no success. All the methods suggested here on XDA and on google did not work. It could be because this is an AT&T model.
Did anyone successfully did that?
Thanks
(I couldn't find a Galaxy S5 Active thread so I posted this question here)

"all the methods" is not really specific enough - you may have missed the one that works.
Either way you will need to be rooted. With the AT&T model, towelroot is the current method.
Once rooted you have two main options - an xposed module (there is one specifically for tethering, and wanam xposed has the entitlement check option as well), or replace the tethering provision apk with a hacked one. If you look over in the at&t forums you will find methods for both. While the xposed method MAY not work for the S5 active, I can't think of any reason why the other method wouldn't. Did you try either of those?
Also, without root, foxfi or clockworkmod tether should work, but they're only partial solutions.

I'm not sure of either of those. What I meant "everything" is editing the settings.db.
Yes I tried FoxFi and it cannot tether via BT to my car or to an iPad. This is what I've tried so far.
Can you please elaborate on this wanam xposed method that may work?
Forgot to add, my phone is rooted with towelroot.
Thanks

Ah, the settings.db method doesn't work for kitkat I believe.
You should probably go read up about xposed if you don't know about it already, but briefly, you need to be root to install the xposed framework.
Then, once xposed is installed and active, you choose different modules to install. wanam xposed is one specific one that has a lot of tweaks for Samsung in it. If you browse around the settings there is one that is to disable the entitlement check.
xposed is not for everyone, because modules can cause weird behavior on your phone (for example mine was giving me the battery cover popup often when unlocking my screen, not just when rebooting, and even more weird is the occasional speakerphone enabling without it really being enabled, or automatically enabled when the phone is not against my ear). But I have to admit, some of those modules are darned useful.
Anyway there are a couple good threads about tethering over in the AT&T GS5 forums.
The wanam module I installed has only one setting related to tethering and it's enabled.
I was asking specifically about the S5 ACTIVE model since it's AT$T proprietary and I have a feeling that has something to do with it.
Ah well, I guess I have to wait someone to figure this one out.
Thanks
T-mobile Xposed & Xtether worked for me
But only for 1 night... I watched a movie, went ta sleep. Woke up the next morning & it never worked again. Lets me enable the hotspot still & connect but doest lrt me online with any devices. Somene told mr to try Ua agent switcher for chrome, but that didnt seem to work ether... smh. Looking for other options asap.
The only way I was able to get tethering to work on my S5 Active was to use Foxfi's USB method.

I tried FoxFi too, but my main thing is to share my phone's connection to my car. FoxFi can't do that because it needs special software installed on the receiving station and obviously you can't do that on a car.
I was using my iPhone jailbroken with TetherMe. Question is if such software exists for Android.
Replace the tethering provision apk with a hacked one works on the galaxy S5 Active, at least on mine it did. You will still get the warning but after it goes away tethering starts up fine, all tethering works, wifi, usb and bluetooth.
Quick video on my S5 active using unlimited att data plan, I also found a way to get around the att throttling of the unlimited data plan about 5 months ago, I will admit, it will be very easy for att to stop or correct, so I will selfishly keep to myself as I know it would be abused but will say it requires no root.:good:

Can you elaborate more on the bluetooth part? I don't care about WiFi or USB tethering, they work right out the box. Bluetooth is what's been bugging me because my car needs that to display traffic and other info on the navigation screen.
What I saw from your video is that you have USB and WiFi tethering option (as I do) but NO bluetooth.
Can you confirm BT works too without having to install 3rd party software on the client side? If yes, can you share that apk?
Thanks

Well I may have not explained well, this is really for people who have unlimited data or a plan that doesn't natively allow tethering. Also while usb and wifi tethering that is built in works, since there is no native bluetooth you must use third party software, foxfi I can verify works via DUN but is slow, just need to install foxfi, and create a dial up network, probably won't work with what your wanting since I believe you need a PAN network.

FoxFi does not work. It's the first app I've tried. It needs a proprietary client software installed on the receiving station. Useless for me.
On the plan, I'm not worried about that, I've been tethering my iPhone 5 forever with no problems so far.
Now that you mentioned I need a bluetooth PAN, I installed a PAN module but it says /system/bin/pand could not be found on your phone.
It's a new thing to look for. If I can find a pand that works on S5, I have a feeling I'll be in business.
Thanks
Ya DUN requires nothing installed on the client but isn't the preferred way now a days but does work. But in your case it would be useless.
Can anybody with a Sprint/Verizon or Unlocked Galaxy S5 check and see if there's a file named pand in /system/bin? And if yes, can you please share it? I think only AT$T's versions don't have it
Thanks
Anyone using G4 with T-Mobile? If so, what is your experience?
works good only thing lacking is wifi calling but no issues with sms pictures or data disconnecting.

No wi-fi calling feature is a deal breaker for me - Motorola/Lenova definitely losing lots of potential sales. If the feature is built into MM then why not have an easy way to turn it on?
I'm on T-Mobile and like the others have said, only snag is no wifi calling. For me its no problem as I use the 100mins unlimited data (5GB on 4gLte plan) and if I'm running low on mins just use hangouts to make calls free in usa.
So far I have had zero problems with service and all sms/texts are working fine too.
the settings hook to enable it exists on the G4 if you search for it under activity launcher, but it's probable that the kernel and/or modem code won't allow it, as the toggle just turns itself back off. i wonder how hard it would be to port the necessary functionality from another moto phone to the G4. anyone have any ideas?
Has it been discussed or brought up about being able to disable the Hotspot Verify option?
My old Moto X Pure didn't need to verify (I have the service) to enable the Hotspot. What I noticed this do was two fold:
1) data usage appeared as my normal phone usage
2) faster speeds over hotspot for my connected devices
+1
maybe an app for taht?!
Got unlimited data but limited hot spot so would be great to make things better
Now that AT&T/Sprint/Verizon are also rooted, it would be great to find a universal solution. I'm on AT&T and my V20 also does this. It's really annoying, I hate having to wait to enable my hotspot.
