[REQ]WIFI CALLING APP (T-Mobile USA)

Hey everyone. can we get a working port of the WIFI calling APP from the G2, MyTouch 4G? Although T-Mobile USA blocks data, once we've flashed the euro rom and modem to get the phone capability back this should work right?
Thanks for some tips on how to get this working. I'm sure it will be great for the community..

you cant. not yet. all those devices needed a modified kernel. until we get that, it will never work.

well the mytouch and g2 did not need modified kernels but yes the nexus One and other older android phones on tmobile did. as far as i can see from a cursory read of those thread, there are specific lines in the build.prop file that have to be modified for our device but nothing terribly hard beyond that. i will continue looking but can someone also begin looking into this as well. How do we edit and what exactly needs to be edited in the Kernel to get the wifi calling app correctly ported to the Galaxy tab?
Thanks guys!

Any news or updates? Thanks

Just wanted to refresh this thread so we can get the attention of some knowledgeable people helping out. WIFI CALLING ON THE GALAXY TAB WOULD BE AWESOME!

WiFi Calling
I am not sure if this is what you wanted but I use sipgate. The service gives you a free number which allows both calling in and out using wifi or 3g data. I combined sip gate with the 3CXPhone app in the market. Works well for me.

thanks for the reply. but i'm aware of the VOIP possibilities out there thus far. i'd like the Tmobile Wifi app as i have the unlimited hotspot calling feature on my account.

any updates on wifi calling? can someone perhaps start a discussion on the relevant libraries that it uses? i'm not against giving it a try myself. i'm pretty competent.

man that blows :/

wifi calling would deduct from minutes. only uma calls are free with hotspot calling. i.e. blackberry and nokia type phones.

Wifi Calling on the MyTouch 4G does use your minutes

Tango and ooVoo?

are there any updates on this? next to 3g working with voice, this is my number one GOODIE on my tmobile tab!

Line2 works wonderfully

Seems there isn't large enough interest, I am interested....and will contribute to a bounty for this with $20.

I second that. Especially now that tmobile has just made wifi calling free (does not deduct from your minute allowance).

REALLY? Can you cite your source on that?
Now I want this! Can we wifi text for free? That would be nice.

story broke on tmonews.com - active as of 5/13 for even more & even more plus prepaid plans only (and of course those of us w/the g/f'd uma plan...)

bump. can we get an update on this please? even the HD2(stock winmo phone) has wifi calling now once an android rom is loaded. does anyone know any devs who can help getting this dream into reality?

can anyone recommend a rom that has the wifi calling app that works on the tab? i'd be willing to use one of those as i really need this functionality now.

[Request] Add an LG Thrill section

It should be separated from the Optimus 3D. That is all

I would 2nd this. It appears to be imminently ready to launch in the next couple weeks (after the delays).
Can we get a section made up so we can hit the ground a runnin'?

Amen!
Hope to see one soon!

agreed I have

PLEASE MAKE A THRILL 4G FORUM!!!!
just got mine today loving it!!! rooting now!!!!

Aren't the O3D and Thrill practically the same phone with different radios?

Same method as the O3D - superoneclick using pneuter. Gingerbreak is a no go.

Now that the Thrill is "Official", can we either add it to the Optimus 3D section title, or make a new one for it? I really would like to see one for itself, but at a minimum as part of the Optimus 3D section. I would really like to see some development start off soon.

You need to load a custom ROM built from a different carrier that doesn't have that authentication.
I used to have it on my Samsung Captivate and Samsung Infuse, now I'll just wait for the dev community to jump on this phone. I would do it myself but I don't have the time.

You need to be rooted, but you need more than that. You need an app like PDAnet or wifi tether. Even if you're rooted the stock tether function is the stock tether function. You'll have to grab wifi tether from a site like 4shared since it's blocked by ATT on the market.

There is no reason to get wifi tether from 4shared
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

I downloaded the WiFi tether version3.1 beta6. it runs on the phone but Android Tether SSID doesn't show up on my laptop. never had any problems with my Tilt2 tethering before.

Download "any cut" from the store and make a shortcut to "connectivity test" launch it and uncheck "entitlement" native ATT Wifi share will work. you have to redo this everytime you boot, hence the shortcut.

UpNext HD Maps

Anyone use this app yet?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.upnext.verizon&rdid=com.upnext.verizon&rdot=1
It says it's incompatible with my Xoom 3G, probably because I no longer have a data plan on it...which I think is an insanely stupid policy.
Anyone know if thats the case?

Just installed it and played with it for a minute. Pretty nice....it actually showed all the BBQ Places near my office, including one that just opened a month ago.

Weird...I have a wifi-only but it's recognized as a Verizon in the market because I'm running a Tiamat rom, so it's available to me. I don't think it's cause you don't have a data plan.

I am also running a WiFi-only Xoom running Tiamat and I was able to install it but it seems the data connection may be to a Verizon server. It was never able to load any map data or any other information. So you may just need a Verizon plan. I will keep trying but no luck so far.

I can see it in the market from my xoom, but can't download it...I get a "this item is not available on your carrier" message.
Weird. I'm on stock unrooted.
From what I've heard, it doesnt sound like im missing much with this app anyway.

I have a data plan still states I cant download it?? rooted 4g rouge kernel

This works great and definitely benefits from the 4G speeds.

I'm on a rooted 4G Xoom running the stock ROM and can't download it either...

works for me
It works good for me. I've got a wifi-only tiamat rooted xoom.
thanks for the link.

Can someone post the apk?

I second this. Says it's incompatible with my Asus Transformer also.

Actually I don't know what just happend, after I clicked the link in op, I was send to market and it started downloading. My rom is EOS nightly build v.70, i've attached two pics, first says "this item isn't available in your country or by your carrier", 2nd pic shows the app running.
I live in Denmark without dataplan, my xoom is wifi. First time I experience this behavior, the install dialog popped up in my browser, not in market.
# edit
com.upnext.verizon-7-1.2.apk

Thanks! Works great.

[Q] Wifi calling

Do we have any devs lurking around here willing to make a flashable.zip of the wifi calling feature for the TMO users as it will only work on their devices? I would like to run an aosp rom but really need this feature. Apps from the market just don't cut it

It requires a specific service. I'm t-mobile customer but I'm not using their simple choice plan. I can't use wifi calling either.

yea but its more work than most devs want to do. maybe if you paid someone to do it or figure it out yourself. but from what i heard its a lot of work and not worth the trouble for someone that doesnt use wifi calling

Thats why this thread is directed at the developers. So they could answer as to wether they were willing or not. Payment is always an option that is not above me. If I had the coding ability to do something like this, I would not be asking for help on here.

previously the wifi calling was done through an app that was active. Now it seems like wifi calling is enabled through a system setting which mean it must be built into the framework at this point. some have been able to take the additional framework stuff and add it into international roms and then port the settings.apk that has the toggle over as well. so not sure if this will ever come to aosp.

putting it like that, I can see it being an issue for aosp. I've still got my fingers crossed that someone will take it on

Android N preview, unlock tethering? Is there a solution yet?

Is there any solution yet for unlocking tethering on the n dev preview? the old 6.0 build.prop edit no longer works.

No one is bothering to work on an alpha build. Nothing will be done until the OS is released in 7 months or so. This is not meant to be a daily driver.
This is why developers get so upset when these builds are published to normal people.

well to be fair, google is using the phrase "android beta", and making this open as an OTA for a reason. From my usage so far, the N beta seems very daily driver friendly, friendlier than L, M previews were the past two years.
i think these "Devs" you speak of can probably calm their testicles... Unless i'm mistaken, this community is for everyone, regardless of what the website name is.
I'm not here asking for Johnny hacker codemaster extraordinaire to fire up some chillstep and fix this for me. I'm simply posing a question to the community. Perhaps a lowly peasant Joe shmoe has come across something, and would see my post and share.

appreciate the response. Unfortunately, the method i use is via custom recovery with adb, and no luck. I was able to successfully edit the build prop via this method, but the net.tethering.noprovisioning=true line no longer seems to have any effect like it did in Lollipop and Marshmallow.

Yes they did release it for a reason. So app developers have an idea of the changes coming. It is not meant as a daily driver.
You have no idea how people are laughing at requests like this.
No this Alpha build was just released yesterday and to be honest most people that could help with this are not even running it. Only people that dont know better are using it.

tethering works fine right out of the box on N, no need to unlock it. unless you are asking to tether "free" on your provider, then you have to just find your way for now.

This works I just tested it. Im on verizon udp. turn off wifi. First eject sim card (don't need to take it all the way out). turn on hotspot through settings not the quick tile. As soon as you toggle the hotspot on push the sim card back in.

Google made this available as an OTA via the beta program so that even non super elite devs can check it out. Yes it's not meant for daily use, that part is clear on the beta page; yell down from your high horse when you have some inside info that the general public is not aware of.
Once again, this post is CLEARLY NOT a "request" like you're going on about. As an android enthusiast, i'm here discussing the next version of android with other enthusiasts.

hmm, yeah tried this method as well. once the sim is back in, hotspot toggles back off, I'll have to fool with it some more.

Its different than with marshmellow. You need to toggle the hotspot and push the sim card back in at the same time.

will give it a shot, ty sir.

I would like to know how to get tethering working as well. This is pretty much the only thing holding me back from trying the N preview.
I also think this is a perfectly valid question. Posted in the right place. Having absolutely nothing to do with any developers here.

Well as tethering is enabled by default then your question is answered. If you want to do it for free then that bypasses a paid service which would make it warez and banned from the site.
If you want to tether then pay for the option. Simple solution.

Bypassing paid services is against the rules. Plain and simple.

I'm guessing when they get root working better, able to write, I bet the old build.prop edit will work fine.
