Has there been any headway at making OnePlus devices successfully use ATT calling features like WiFi Calling?
That implementation had been a little different specifically like in the Pixel 3 where those features work out of the box now
No
Only thing that works is VOLTE and HD Voice.. and even for that it requires a tweak or two.
Hate that .... The problem is that I pretty much have to have WiFi calling because of where I work

I've been trying to search for a solution to this, and haven't found anything yet on this topic. I keep seeing SIP and programs that require you to connect to a VoIP server, but I am not sure if this will accomplish the same goal. Basically I like how the Blackberry UMA technology connects via WiFi from overseas, and lets you make calls back to the US using your regular plan minutes with no long distance charges. Is there any way to do the same thing on the HD2 (US version)? I know the antenna's are not the same technology.
There is also an option for internet calling when you go to Settings Tab>Menu>All Settings>Personal>Phone>Internet. It reads:
Internet Calling
To set the calling network for your next call, select Internet Calling on the Home Screen.
Does this even do anything?
I too would be very interested in something like this as my reception at my home - inside or out - is very weak.
I have tried several different radios as well, but I'm not having any luck.
Ditto.. I could totally use this feature. Does anyone know if you must have hardware that supports it or is it just software that runs on the phone ?
As far as I know both the hardware and software must support UMA in order for it to work. For instance, I could use UMA calling on my Shadow 2009, but could'nt on my Shadow 2007, even though they ran the same build of WinMo. From what I understand UMA has to be built into the WiFi chip in order for it to work.
I have truphone, witch works great, but only for outgoing calls. I need something that works through wifi that I can get incoming calls as well as outgoing. This is the one and only thing that makes me miss my blackberry. If I wasn't merely 9 months into my 2 year contract I could afford the mytouch 4g or the G2 and enjoy uma, but I don't have 500 plus dollars for yet another new phone. Trust me I'd love a new Mytouch 4G but it's at least another year until I can get one. I know this is off topic but does anyone have any hands on knowledge about the signal boosters they sell online? what ones work? cuz I get like 1 bar in my house and it comes and goes but soon as i'm 3 doors up I have 5 bars and 3g. So I definitely need something.
I was searching for just the same thing and came across this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380803
post 23 explains it, so now all thats needed is adaptation, but I'm not a programer.
Here are the files I did download, but I haven't tested them, nor would know how to "make" them work.
Hope someone can make this work, I get 0 service at home, cause I live in a rural area, but work in a metro.

But how does that explain the Wi-fi calling feature that is added through custom rom flashes for the Samsung Vibrant and the Nexus One? Both those devices never had UMA from the beginning but was added through custom flashes later on.
Yeah, Damenloader is right. How come there's a rom that gives the Vibrant and the Nexus UMA wifi calling ? Anybody ? I'd REALLY like to get UMA on my HD2.

Are you guys sure you're not confusing Wi-Fi calling for UMA? These are two different technologies. Wi-Fi calling is simply using a messenger program or SIP server to make calls using Wi-Fi. It's free to other Wi-Fi users or charged to account credits for phone numbers (Fringo, Skype, Nimbuzz, Google Voice). SIP servers work the same way (SIP Gate, etc.), you have to have an account with credit to make Wi-Fi calls to phone numbers.
Both of these Wi-Fi calling options require you to purchase calling credit to make calls to telephone numbers.
The idea behind UMA is that you do not have to purchase credit through a third party, but instead you use the minutes on your T-Mobile plan. For example, if you make a Wi-Fi call with a Blackberry (UMA-enabled phone), you would be connected through T-Mobile's servers (not 3rd party, ie: Skype), and they would simply deduct the minutes from your monthly plan. It would work the same with UMA as it would with a regular phone call through wireless service, free t-motbile to t-mobile, nights and weekends, etc.
I have searched this information thoroughly and have only come to conclude that UMA capability has to be built into the phone, via a chip or other. So far I have not seen anything about UMA being accessible through a program install or software mod.
If you simply want Wi-Fi calling it is possible with the HD2, as I have already done it with Skype and SIP Gate. It will be free if the person you are calling also has Skype, Nimbuzz, Fringo, etc. If you don't mind paying 2-10 cents/minute, then you can purchase the credit and make Wi-Fi calls to telephone numbers as well.
Hope this answers your question.
cu2cool, I believe you may have it a little wrong on the part of UMA. Like in the link I posted before, UMA isn't hardware or chip dependent, though phones like Blackberrys have a dedicated chip for the purpose. UMA is software dependent, and most likely radio dependent. My proof is in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807116 taken from a Nexus1 thread, which phone didn't have UMA support before some crafty guys worked it out. Don't get me wrong I'm no expert on the subject, just from reading around, I'm fairly certain its "possible" and all it should take is a crafty person with the know-how to make it work.
Edit: Just found this (actually had it opened for weeks and forgot I had it) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843433&page=6 a dev page for WIP on UMA-HD2_TMo-Android.
I finally just forked over the cash for a Mytouch 4G, and it was money well spent even if just for the wifi calling alone.

I think I just saw something that might help. It came out on the 11th of February. http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/windows-mobile-voip-sip-updated/
Verizon WiFi Calling inside Advanced Calling 2.0&/or T-mobile Volte work w/ Nexus 6
inquiring minds want to know.......................................
My understanding is the the only way Wifi calling works on Verizon is to download and use the Verizon Messages+ app. Pretty lame but I think that is the current state of things. I would love to be wrong on this.
Some links that talk about it:
http://www.zdnet.com/article/lagging-its-peers-verizon-adds-wi-fi-calling-but-theres-a-catch/
http://www.spotonnetworks.com/verizon-enables-wifi-calling-with-a-few-caveats/
http://www.inquisitr.com/2577556/verizon-wireless-finally-offers-wi-fi-calling/
I find a lot of reports that folks are using Verizon Messages for wi-fi calls on the N6P. That's actually not that bad of a concept.
I'll have to try it when I get some time. I can't find any kind of definitive guide to making it work, but it seems possible, at least for MAKING calls. Unless I'm misreading all of this stuff.
You additionally have to go online and enable Advanced Calling 1.0 on your account (the same Advanced Calling that lets you do voice and data at the same time) -- I think that without this turned on, you can't do Wi-Fi calling at all either.
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?
I have read a bunch of threads all over and done some searches but cannot seem to find any clear definitive answers on a few things. I am looking at grabbing the Samsung unlocked S8 and want to know for sure if anyone can confirm what does and does not work on VZ with that model? I am pretty sure of the following, but anyone who has one on VZ and can help me out would be greatly appreciated.
- WiFi Calling does NOT work on VZ with the unlocked version. I am pretty sure based on what I read on this.
- VoLTE and HD calling DO work on VZ. Again, pretty sure from what I read but it is hard to find definitive answers anywhere.
- Any app based WiFi calling would still work (so using stuff like Signal or any app that uses data to make calls could make WiFi calls even if the VZ network WiFi calling does not work?)
- Video calling DOES/DOES not work? Cannot find any answer to this.
- Voicemail still gives you notifications/works like normal? I think I read someone say that Visual Voicemail does not work, so the app that lets you just tap and see and instantly listen to VM would not work and you would have to dial *86? Not sure here and clarification is appreciated.
- Any other significant issues or things that don't work or are affected that I have missed?
I think it is pretty bad that phones can evolve with tech and you can get a phone several years and models newer than an older phone, but because one is carrier locked version, it has a ton of features that the newer phone can do, but won't because of carrier BS. Again, all help is appreciated. Thanks!
Visual voicemail does not work. HD calling works. I dont do wifi calling. I dont do video calling. I have unlimited data and mobile hotspot works flawless.

Did you decide to purchase the unlocked S8 for use on Verizon? Has it been a good experience? I'm thinking of buying one since I have the grandfathered unlimited data plan and I'd like to be able to use the mobile hotspot without having to root. Although I don't travel too much, having the option to use my phone in another country by popping in a local SIM is definitely an attractive feature. Thanks in advance!
Edit: Oops, incorrect forum. Mods, please move if this is an issue. (Meant to be in OP6T)
Anyone else completely reliant on WiFi calling at home (zero signal / no data) able to send and receive MMS? They fail for me over WiFi calling, work flawlessly once I'm at work utilizing data (possibly ruling out APN issues)
Additionally, MMS send/receive work great on my wife's iPhone 7, and they worked perfectly fine on my OP5T until the Oreo update (at which point, that phone had stopped being able to send/receive MMS over Wifi Calling as well.) Anyone know any tricks to getting this to operate? The only alternative I have is to tell people to send picture messages / group messages to my Google Voice number.
Items tried:
Tried creating alternate APN that has more APN types
Tried activating the SIM that came in the box, as the one I was using was from my OP3T forever ago.
Tried using Google Messages as opposed to the stock SMS app
Tried using Signal (which works fine if the other end is also utilizing Signal - 99% of my contacts, however, are not.)
T-Mobile support seems to be completely blind to any issues with this, so just seeing if anyone else has a similar experience.
I have the unlocked OnePlus 6, I'm on T-Mobile and WiFi calling and texting works.
I had one instance that it wasn't working (I noticed the VoLTE icon was gone). To get it to work again, I had to reset Network settings (settings>system>reset options>reset WiFi, mobile and Bluetooth).
Presto!!
Try it out.
After this I turned airplane mode on, connected to WiFi and made calls and sent texts just fine.
Good luck
Does it work on any network?
Mine connects at home with internet and wifi calling. Works at a friends house too.
At my office it connects to the network and all functions normal except no wifi calling or sms.
My Galaxy S8 works with wifi calling at home, friends, AND at work.

We had this issue.. It was blocking some ports... thankfully someone who knew more than I did was able to work with them to whitelist the needed port thru the firewall. I admit that seems inconsistent with the S8 working @ your work.. but still worth following up with your IT.
What version of the 6t do you have? Tmo or International?
My OP6 works & sends mms just fine via wifi calling. It could also be a network issue maybe.
Has anyone comes across a Pie custom ROM where WiFi Calling works?
So far, Xenon HD 8.1 is the only one that I have gotten to work.

Latest treskmod is working now as well
Try this on your custom ROM, I am on a OP6 but this should apply to the OP6T.
Add this to /system/build.prop, save and reboot:
Code:
persist.vendor.cne.feature=1
WiFi Calling should function now.
It works on AOSiP and Omni for OP6. YMMV.
I have the unlocked 6T running OOS and cannot send MMS on WiFi-Calling. All calls and SMS texts work fine, just not MMS. I am on MetroPCS which is functionally the same as T-Mobile. On my 5T everything works perfect over WiFi-Calling including MMS.
Has anyone found a solution for MMS not working over WiFi-Calling for T-Mobile/MetroPCS?
