This topic is for development of the Wifi apk for the vibrant. Please DO NOT discuss what wifi means to you or how excited you are about it. I am posting this in hopes that a developer can make this work.
Only comment here if you can contribute and make this work. (what i have provided is the extent of my knowledge)
The apk installs, loads, but will not connect. It gets stuck on 'enabling' and shreads the battery trying.
Perhaps the servers are just not up yet since this is so new..
UPDATE: According to TMo News, T-mobile has stated that they do not support wifi calling yet... so hopefully this app not working is just a result of no server support yet..

Took a look at it and so far its either missing a VPN module or its pointing at settings that we dont have. Right now its looping trying to connect to localhost.
This does ADB install fine, but it doesnt connect if you disable it and try to re-enable it.
Side effect, it was constantly looping trying to connect the service and wasnt very happy about uninstalling when I tried, wouldnt recommend anyone install it unless they have the settings or an idea where we can grab them from
Soon as I get the OTA ill scour for the settings. Soon as I have any updates to it ill tweet/post
Thanks Viral, scepterr says it needs a kernel module and we need source code for that
Why ADB...just hit install...running it on Froyo, I cant tell if its working or not because Tmobile DID fix my signal at my house LOL

You can still make calls and it will say its working but if you turn it off and back on, itll eternally sit at attempting to make connection.

HTC is better about source code, maybe well get lucky and have that released quick and can patch that in *pokes JAC just in case*
It's using all of my CPU.
Interesting that it works after being pushed initially. Is there a way to freeze it in that state, without restarting it?

Pardon the off-topicness, but which app are you using in that SS?

The app he is using is called SystemPanel. It's very useful.
I suggest removing this app in the mean time. Its a CPU hog and 50% of my battery use.

According to TMO News, the wifi calling is not supported yet as stated by T-Mobile.
“Wi-Fi Calling and tethering Wi-Fi sharing are not currently supported on the T-Mobile G2. T-Mobile knows these features are important to consumers and we’re working to deliver them to G2 users in the future. We have nothing further to announce at this time.”
http://tinyurl.com/3yltw9a
This was one of my theories... that would be an easy and good answer for why it will not connect yet...
Looks like theres no luck on the g2 end either, its still missing some configuration or something.

Adding to think tank section of the bible for easy retrieval just in case the thread slows.
Something tells me TMo is going to wait, either for the release of the MyTouch HD or they'll release it on a bunch of phones all at once as a way to boost sales before Christmas.
Looks like G2 will have this app soon enough. I can't wait to have it on the vibrant.
http://www.tmonews.com/2010/11/t-mobile-g2-to-get-wi-fi-calling-update-starting-tomorrow/
The reason why this app isn't working is because you need a Wifi calling plan which tmobile is rolling out soon and it requires a data plan of 19.99 or higher which pretty much everyone has because the 200 mb plan has not rolled out yet.
Has anyone gotten the wifi calling G2 OTA update yet? Can you let us know if the wifi calling now works on the G2? Thanks.
Yes and it works awesome!

Thanks. So it looks like both now the G2 and myTouch 4G are up and running with wifi calling. They both have in common that they are running 2.2. So am I to assume that the apk app on both of them is the same and that it will also run on the Vibrant once it gets the 2.2 update?

Or someone with a vibrant that has 2.2 could test it
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.
It should be separated from the Optimus 3D. That is all

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.
Just switched to tmo and purchased a 64gb Nexus 6 from Motorola. Should be here next week.
I had a few device & carrier questions being this is my first Nexus device (besides tablets)
I will be using this device on T-Mobile but it's from the Moto store.
Who will I be getting updates from? T Mobile or Google directly?
I plan on flashing a custom rom (most likely Pure Shamu from what I've gathered) being that one model of nexus supports all carriers (radios).. I read that T-Mobile will be pushing an update to support wifi-calling (which I need in my home). Will that work on my particular device or is there a specific T-Mobile Nexus that I'd need?
Lastly, I do use wifi tether quite a bit, and on my current devices rom they have the unlimited wifi tether hack.
Is that something built into a rom or has to be done separately?
Thanks for any help that can be given.
Oh, forgot one question.
Also read up on the encryption ordeal.
I don't need that on my device but is there any benefit to have it or not have it enabled?
Again, thank you.

Nexus is GSM unlocked and should theoretically work on all carriers out of the box. I bought mine from the motorola store and is working without any problems.
Updates come from google directly.
If you want to use Wifi calling, I believe that you do have to be running stock firmware, nobody will know for sure until it gets released.
I believe Shamu allows you to bypass the tether limit. I'm currently using CM 12 and tethering doesn't count towards my tethering limit.
The only benefit of not having encryption enabled is faster boot times.

If you root your phone, you can add the hack yourself. I am on a stock rom, and my grandfathered data plan has no tethering allotment, but i can tether to my heart's content. I copied this from another thread:
I was able to work around the issue by modifying the following sqlite database (you'll need root):
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
You need to add a new entry to the global table called "tether_dun_required" with a value of 0.
It looks like you need to do this because some configuration data was added to Android for T-mobile that forwards tethered data to this APN: pcweb.tmobile.com
T-mobile is probably checking to see if your account has tethering enabled when you go through this APN.
After I made this change I also needed to change my APN settings so that it uses ipv4 instead of ipv6. It seems like tethering with ipv6 does not work 100% yet.
I hope this helps.

Definitely rooting and most like run a stockish custom rom. Hoping that's built in if not I'll take a look into that.
Most of the custom roms I've run on t-mobile have that built in and are preset to ipv 4 not 6 for that exact reason.

My sister is moving to NYC tomorrow. Her first Apt.. 66th & 2nd.
I'm on Monday & Tuesdays so I'll be helping her move in.
What line of work are you in?
ahh so i have a n910t3 rooted on dok2 tekxodus . erm. so is there anyway to get unrestricted tethering with this, i dont care if i have to switch roms ,firmware/bootloaders ,versions whatnot or anyway to switch to n910t? , just wondering if it was possible . sorry im a nub and thank you (also was using pdanet for faster tethering but i think they slowed me down??) not sure on that thought i got 10mb now its like 500kbs to 1mb idk maybe i just seen it wrong but it seems slower lol. ah shucks may have to buy a new phone ehh
I tried asking a while ago in Maximum overdrive, and never got an answer, just people trying to explain what speeds tmo was giving with tether. I have tried barnicle and pdanet and they wont even work on my phone. I know there was an app i used to use on my s4 for unlimited tethering. It seems to me that one of the tethering apps should be able to mask its connection and appear to tmo as just our device, for full speed 4g.
So anyone who has any suggestions please chime in, lol.
