g2 wifi calling apk and logcat (doesnt connect on vibrant)

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?

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?

UpNext HD Maps

Anyone use this app yet?

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.

Thanks! Works great.

[Q] Droid 4 Tether Hack

I wondering if the Tether Hack using the RadioComm will work on the Droid4. I tried it, but could not get the app to detect the phone.
Also I enabled Verizon's Tether, and it seems to be giving me tether at no extra cost, I'm not sure, but the message when I activated it said, as long as you have a data play $29.95 or greater. Other wise you had to upgrade planes. Well I had the unlimited data plane so I continued with the set up, then when to Verizon to check my bill, and I don't see any additional cost as of yet. So I'm curious, is version charging to use Tether ?
Yahya

When I looked into it, the cost was supposed to be $24/mo for tethering. I just rooted mine and installed the Wifi Tether 3.1 beta 11 apk and it works fine so I would not chance attempting to use Verizon's app just because it seems likely that even if you don't get charged right off the bat, they might get wise and decide to charge you in the future.

Foxfi in the market works perfectly on D4. No root required

"That behavior it does is normal. The stock app is just a modified version of the aosp built in tethering mechanism. So when AWT sets the prop that tells the system that tethering is on the stock app gets triggered. Even cm7 on thrill does this."
This quote is from tekahuna (a developer of android wifi tether) on gtalk.

Sweet! Thanks for asking him. That's a big relief.

Yeah, the mobile hotspot pops up for everyone (but not always which is odd)... it will not affect your bill because VZW can't say anything if you're not using their app.
The settings that I'm using on 3.1 beta11 are as follows:
Device - Motorola Razr
Setup - Auto
Not using encryption and everything else is however it comes set.
Part of your problem is probably that you're using an older beta. Here's the link for the one I'm using (just add the Http:// because I haven't posted enough to link):
code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11.apk&can=2&q=

Wifi Tether 3.1 here. First thing installed post-root. Working beautifully.

Using the built in tether with the entitlement_check hack from bionic, working great

so is it free or what
My wife has the Droid 4 and I love the 4g service (up to 20mbps in my area). We use the wifi tether for our xoom. So if we use the vzw stock wifi tether app we will be charged? And if I use a 3rd party app like fox fi for instance it will b free of charge? Or can we edit the radio with Radiocom like the d3? I have my d3 changed over. And would it help if we rooted the d4?

You can say that or you could say they warned me not. The pop up warning said you can not use WiFi tethering unless you have a $29.95 data plan or greater. Well I have that plan for unlimited data. So I thought I was good.what they mean is in conjunction with there will be a $30 teather charge.
I pressed continue thinking I was good because of my data plan.

I've never seen this message, and I just logged into my account and it shows no usage for Connect/Hot Spot. It does show usage for Data, but it doesn't separate tether from phone data usage.

Sweet. The only roadblock to getting this phone was making sure I could tether

[Q] All I am looking for is WIFI HotSpot Enablement..

While I am not thrilled with the stock ROM, I do miss the WIFI HotSpot I was able to enable on my Tilt2. This allows me to use a tablet rather than a smartphone screen. Would someone out here please provide a simple workaround for this one feature. I'm willing to donate as well. While I was very comfortable with the Windows Mobile altering, I am android stupid, yet willing to learn.
This phone is really dragging without it.
Thanks.

You're not going to find much unless you switch to a custom ROM. The ATT stock ROM is designed to neuter tethering unless you have it on your plan; custom ROMs don't have that check built in.
Before you ask "how do I ____", go read the stickied superguide in the development forum and follow the instructions to the letter.

I understand your reply, here's what is puzzling me though. If I sign up with AT&T and have to toss my unlimited plan in the process, how do they enable the wifi hotspot option? OTA? If so, perhaps someone who has this option enabled would share their script with a Chef to see what is enabled and how? It has to be something on the device, not the server or tower with AT&T.

If you still have the tilt2, just put the vivid Sim card in the tilt.

The easiest solution is to just use a custom ROM, plain and simple.

I am using DarkRaider's custom ROM, and I still am coming up with an error - something about there being a "temporary network problem", and it won't let me enable the WiFi hotspot.
I'm not with AT&T, and WiFI Hotspot worked just fine with my HTC Aria... so now what?

could you tell me what exactly is your set up? i have actually tested that Rom, and i know that with the proper kernel combination you can make tether work,. almost all custom Roms that are base of of holiday, if matched with a good kernel, they are expected to work tether, wifi, ETC.

I've tried it with the following kernels:
- stock
- Holic
- Koz RC2
- Koz Beta 7
... all flashed through the DarkRaider installation process.
I get the above error when trying to use the WiFi Hotspot option built in. I have one APN put into the system, which worked with my HTC Aria using the built-in Hotspot option before...
I read somewhere that you can edit files using an SQL editor, but the post wasn't detailed enough...

i see,. which is interesting of ur set up is that u have actually added an APN setup to that rom... i though that that Rom had its own APN, and they worked pretty good when i tried it,.. anyway.. i am going to flash the rom tonight again and find out exactly how i did it... cuz i have had Tether work for me in that particular room.. and i want to share that with you guys,.

Illuminati Rom has working tether and there is nothing special or any work arounds to do. Just flash it and that's it, everything works. I cannot give you the link, you will have to Google it.

Is it Sense or non-Sense? I'd prefer a Sense ROM.
EDIT: Okay, looked into it a bit more... seems a bit "dated", and in fact I can't find a working link to download it.
I am a bit frustrated, as the DarkRaider ROM feature list says that Hotspot has been fixed... and yet I'm getting this error. I have a feeling it's a setting somewhere I have to edit, but no idea where to start looking without messing up WiFi totally, etc. I use WiFi Hotspot all the time though with my tablet and at work.

It is a Sense Rom and it is far from dated. The last update was a couple of days ago and there were actually 2 updates that day.
I don't know where you looked for it but you can only get it from the dev's website. You will have to register and have at least 10 posts to see the download links.

Just tried it for 20 minutes - found it slow to wake up, still had lots of AT&T apps I'll never use, and it's missing several tweaks the ROMs here have.
But the Hotspot worked.
Hmmm.
EDIT: I'm going back to DarkRaider and I'm going to work harder on getting it to work there. It's a superior ROM.

[Q] S6 WiFi Hotspot with root.

I read if I root my S6 from AT&T I will not be able to install a custom rom because of the locked bootloader. All I really want it to accomplish is to let me install a wifi hotspot app to let me use it for a portable hotspot. I did this with my S3 and it worked great. Do you think I will be able to make this work by using the S6 root that is out there in the market? Thank you,

What root in what market? Please link so we can weigh in with the right info. To attempt an answer, yes, you should be able to do this with SuperSu installed after you root, but it depends on the app. I would email the dev to see if they have tried their app on a S6. No sense bricking it over that.
Edit: also, are you on an old data plan that doesn't include hotspot? The newer ones include it.

I was looking at the Chainfire one on Youtube. I have an old unlimited data plan and am trying to avoid paying for the hotspot. The Chainfire site said using this on AT&T device might brick the phone, I should probably just wait until someone perfects a root for this device.
The hotspot app I was using on my S3 was Wifi tether router from Google Play store.

PingPong Root (beta6) worked just fine on my SM-G920A (AT&T S6)... I did have to put it in airplane mode before the "Get Root" button actually worked, though. There seems to be something calling home that prevented it otherwise.
