[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.

[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

x3, except I get the Verizon "Tethering or hotspot active" notification. I haven't gotten a warning or paywall screen and my bill hasn't changed so hopefully that isn't cause for concern.

"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.
I asked him the same question.

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

Terrible speeds over WiFI

I have 100Mbps internet, and a Cisco EA4500 router
Galaxy Nexus gets around 30Mbps over WiFi.
Nexus 4 only gets 1.03Mbps down over WiFi

Speedtest
Also, when trying to download apps from Play Store, small apps are taking forever to download.
So it's not just some incompatibility with Speedtest

I have no idea what you mean by "WiFi Canal"
but if you're talking about changing my WiFi channel, there is no need - every wireless device in my house gets great speeds:
Galaxy Nexus (x2, 2 family members have them)
Nexus 7
Asus EeePC 1000HE
MediaCentre PC
so it's nothing to do with my router, or my WiFi configuration. It's the phone.

(Try McDonalds wifi too ?)

I have a feeling it's your router and/or firewall settings.
For example, on my friends connection It'll take me 5mintues to DL a 3mb app from the playstore, but the speedtest is just fine. At home, it'll download in a second or two.
While the phone is the only thing experiencing the issue, your router is the only thing that could be causing it. Have you tried anyone elses wifi?

A quick Google search found this for me. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roysolberg.android.datacounter
You can always view data use through "Settings -> More... -> Data usage" as well, of course, though that's obviously less convenient.

I know about that kind of program, I'm talking about something that actually interfaces with Sprint and tells me the numbers Sprint sees... That's what the Verizon app did and it was a godsend coz I change Roma like candy and they don't share with one another how much data they've used

Oh ok, I get it. In that case, I don't think so. You can use Sprint Zone to check data usage, but it's slow and painful and they break it up into 3G and 4G data usage for unknown reasons, without giving you a grand total, so you have to do math... weird!
EDIT: It's actually much faster to just send a text message to 1311 with the single word "usage" and get an instant reply showing minutes and data used, though it still breaks out 3G and 4G without a total... Which seems pretty stupid, because why should I care how much of my data was 3G or 4G (other than to remind me how little 4G access I actually get even though I'm always in areas that are allegedly 4G according to Sprint's coverage maps)?

[Q] Tethering/Hotspot

okay, so I've scoured the interwebs and the forums and have found absolutely nothing on this subject. Coming from the one max, this was a day one mod/hack, so I'm surprised to not see it done at all on the nexus. Now I've already done the build.prop edits and even found one thing on apn edits, but nothing worked. So does anyone know how to get this working? Or can possibly point me in the right direction

Search sqlite.

Is there a more permanent solution to enable unlimited tethering if you already have unlimited data? All k could find where work grounds for 4.4 kitkat not lollipop. I added in the provision to my build prop however I want to use my phone as a hotspot when I go on trips to avoid using public WiFi for my laptop

This works on nexus 5 and 6

Where can you check your tethering usage on T-Mobiles site? I only see data used out of unlimited. I literally just switched last night from the death star so its all new to me. I've already used 3.5gb of LTE in less than 24 hours

Even if you have unlimited, you can "only" tether 5gb. That's why I was asking about making the tethering unlimited. I use my laptop at my school and our universities WiFi is terrible.
