so a buddy of mine has a phone from tmobile the htc sensation and it has the option of using wifi calling whitch apparently doesn't use minutes texts or anything on it is there a way that our phones can do that i have tried google voice but it still uses minutes any way for that to work on the bionic just curious???
Currently, T-Mobile is the only carrier around using Wifi calling (US, at least). It requires specific setup on the backbone and no one else has implimented this. I'm sure there are third party apps that will do something like this, but as far as a carrier-supported feature, you're out of luck.
oh ok so it is related to the actual network interface such as verizons 3g 4g while on a phone call?? i wish there was a way to use wifi only minutes i try google voice but it still uses minutes..

Grooveip works with google voice to make 3g, 4g, and wifi calls. Doesn't use any minutes. Only data if calling over a network. A simple search in the Android market will tell all one needs to know.

I also use grooveip. Works like a charm making calls through wifi using my Google voice number. I also have it on my wifi xoom and it works great as well.

I have NetTalk home VOIP which works great but an added bonus is their app which is on the Market, but you do have to have the Nettalk duo.
It allows outgoing free calls using 4g or WiFi (I think 3g works)but no incoming as of yet.
I found the voice quality to be very usable but it does have it's limitations.
When you call anyone it doesn't show your cell number but a number that is from Nettalk
Yeah i have that too not too bad for free but horriable quality

Haven't heard that but that's awesome! Can you post a link to the source?

I am unsure as to what this means?
that was one of the things that drew me to this phone over the charge and thunderbolt, it supported VoLTE out of the box
here's a link to engadget: http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/20/verizons-reportedly-trials-volte-services-in-two-cities-eyes-n/
recognize that phone in the picture?
here's one from last Feb: http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/09/verizon-successfully-completes-first-volte-call-in-the-world-pl/
Hot dang. I have no clue what that all means, but I am glad it's on meh phone.
Edit: So does this mean that we can soon use tablets to call with bluetooth? That we don't need a radio to call? Hmm? That would seem interesting, and would make Verizon the leader of LTE indeed.
I heard it from my Verizon store.... anyone know when its sposed to happen

all verizon has said is that it's supposed to launch nationwide in 2013, was supposed to launch this year. they've been testing it with the Revolution since last February.
It is the first phone you can actually Talk and surf the web at the same time.
VoLTE (Voice over LTE). You have to have 4G and you have to wait till next year. I love Verizon...
Like Kane it was one of the features that drew me to this phone but since Verizon has yet to put 4G in my area, I forgot about this feature. I bought this 4G phone because Verizon said it would be available in my area in October 2011... Here we are almost February 2012... No 4G. Now I am just shooting for before the end of the world in December...
That can't be true because... the revolution is current using 3g voice and text

This is available already if you are in a 4g area. I talk and surf when I'm on the phone with people a lot

In 4G areas voice uses cdma, data lte. Works great.

All the 4g phones on Verizon are able to talk and text. I believe they are talking about making it so your phone calls and text messages will be carried over 4g compared to how Verizon transfers your calls and texts currently. It'll probably lead to your phone calls being much clearer in the future since it will be carried over a better network than it is currently.

Not everyone lives in a 4G area... I live just north of LA and there is no 4G here which is odd as I can toss a rock and hit LA.
I can talk on the phone and tether at the same time, also text and all. For those of you that think VoLTE will be coming to the Revo, remember this phone has reached it's END OF LIFE. Whoever posted those articles the 2nd one was from last February. There are no more updates coming to this phone, there is no ICS until we get cm9. Someone would have to come up with a hack most likely to enable VoLTE on the Revo.

In case you're wondering why 4G isn't working for you. Verizon has yet another outage on there hands.

Yeah I was wondering what was going on and that's what I figured ha. Don't know if you experienced this but my text messaging went out for like half a day last week I thought it was funny that they put it on their automated system that they were having problems
Yep it's out in Hawaii. Only 3G, 1X and Wifi for me!
I had absolutely no data from Verizon for about 4 hours this morning in Ohio. I found out about the outage when I called to complain.

I've noticed that yes the one switches between wifi/3g/4g much more smoothly, but also noticing it dropping those signals much more frequently too and struggling to reconnect if it drops it. As in, I can have a data connection, then none at all out of nowhere without moving, and a couple of minutes later it reconnects.
I was even just sitting here at home where I have full signal on wifi and saw it drop wifi too. This never happened on the previous base... Sigh... Nothing is ever perfect...

I've noticed that my phone is holding onto lte better inside today since the update. It was usually dropping to 3g once I started doing anything.
but it's ok to eat fish cause they don't have feelings.....
I'm dropping calls like crazy lately, but it really started before the update, so I can't say it's because of that.... Sprint really sucks lately, dropping calls left and right, signal dropping out all the time, and slower than slow 3g

Mine got better with the update. I can hold a call for over an hour in my house with 1 bar just like my old phone. before the update it would drop after 5-15 min. Also I am running into far less places where I simply can't use data despite having signal. I think there is still room for improvement.
When I first flashed the update everything seemed to working smoother and seemed to hold a better 4G signal. By the second day my WiFi would drop in and out, my 4G won't hold when I know have full 4G coverage. Sometimes I don't have a signal at all. Like that is my only pet peeve about this phone. What's the use of having the best phone if one of its primary functions doesn't work properly? I'm definitely looking to get something new at this point.
Where can I find the radios/firmware update? I've looked through all the threads and they are no where

I'm having the same issues, and I'm pretty done with it. Ordered a GSM One from Google Play and am on my way to TMobile. After 14 years I can't take the whole "unlimited data 1 bit at a time" anymore.

I was having similar issues, I think it had to do with the fact that it was an in-place upgrade. I did a factory wipe, and the One is behaving much better.

I'm with you. Such a brilliant device aside from this issue. My question is can this be labeled as a defective device because one of its main functions doesn't work properly

I updated to the latest OTA and I now don't have simultaneous voice + LTE. I know that the new tri band phones with Sprint Spark lost this feature but I didn't think the OTA would break an existing feature. Anyone else experience this??
First off, wrong section. Secondly, there is no way for that to be possible. When I was using the Sense 5.5 ports, the LTE signal would disappear on call, but the devs confirmed it was still working. We never found out why it happened, but data & voice on LTE will always work hence why everyone SVDO was dropped.

I can confirm that when on LTE and you get a call the data indicator shows as if your data dropped but data still works. Just noticed it myself yesterday as a matter of fact.

Exactly sir, thank you...
Data and voice at same times works fine on cm11.
I believe it worked for me on stock you just need to enable DDTM.
in dialler do ##3242#, edit, then enter your msl
I think its under evdo. Look for DDTM and set to enable.

The EVO LTE & S3 generation of phones were the only SVDO phones. S4 until now CAN'T do voice over 3g. You'll only get voice/data on WiFi and/or LTE!
I have noticed that since the update every-time I end a call I get the no data message and it takes 20-30 seconds for it to come back, rather annoying actually.
