OK guys, we already have a thread that is a work in progress trying to port TMOBILES WiFi calling to our device. Now I would like to see what other people have done to compensate for not having the T-Mobile app. What are the best 3rd party apps that work good for you and can you both make and receive calls using them?
Feel free to post any alternative to the T-mobile wifi calling app that has worked for you.

Thanks goes to whosdaman for the above thread.

I've tried a combination of Google voice and the paid version of groove ip and the call quality was horrible. The person I called could barley understand me. This is very frustrating.

I went on ebay and bought a wifi calling enabled phone for the time being....I cant not have service at my dorm room.
Google voice with talks tone.

A dirty workaround is using google talk video chat and choosing handset speaker. It sucks, doesn't use the actual phone number, but does function if you're desperate.
Just tried talkatone, it worked but there is like a three second delay when talking.. It's weird. Call quality ok. How do I get good quality Internet calls?

Which one did you get? I'm in a similar boat trying to find a cheap phone just for use when I'm at home.
Look for 2 threads started by acegolfer, these will help you the most. One is called free voip calling w/iLBC codec and the other is something along the lines of Piaf with amazon ec2 or ew2. Not necessarily these easiest ways but from what I can tell they are probably some of the best. The first thread I mentioned also has a comparison of the most popular ways. Hope this helps some.
edit: there is also the Vonage app that has ok quality but you can only make calls and not receive them.

The Obi app in the google store, and then google voice.
Free incoming and outgoing wifi calls.
All you need is your username and password. Then just log on and your all set.
NOTHING TO CONFIGURE.

It's made to totally emulate Wi-Fi calling

I got an HTC T-Mobile G2 out of pure need of wifi calling. Screen was cracked got it off ebay for like $25. There was just no way I could go on like this.

Thanks for the reply. I've been looking on eBay but I don't want to pay $80-$100 for something like this. Looks like I can pick up a G2 cheap.

I'm trying that now...but the call quality doesn't seem as good as with csip

Vonage. Can't get incoming calls unless you subscribe, but free wifi/3g calling is awesome. The codec they use is HD (speex I believe) and is the best ever.
If someone calls you, just call them right back on the Vonage app. It's the best. Avoid talkatone/grooveip and the other "VOIP" apps. They are echo/delay city.
Vonage is free. Doesn't require you to be a Vonage subscriber. Just install it, use voice/text confirmation of your number, enroll and you're done.

Does anyone else notice a weak lte antenna? Been stuck on 3G where I had full 4G with the EVO LTE. Otherwise I love this phone. I can just stare at the screen, it's a thing of beauty.

Found what I believe is a solution. When I changed my network mode from cdma/lte to automatic, my signal changed from 1x to 4g. Strange but true, makes a huge difference

Im really starting to notice as i drive all over Florida(im a driver) that it its not holding 4G as well as my Note II...In sensorly it gives you a good idea where LTE is available,hell i logged a bunch of what is seen in Florida and im noticing in light purple areas where I had 4G before i have to now be pretty stationary for the One to lock in to 4G..But the real kick in the sack that has been driving me crazy these passed 2 days is seeing 4G on the phone and start doing something which transmits data it drops 4G and goes back to 3G..Happened at least 7 times today
Quite honestly, I had this issue pretty much with all my Sprint LTE phones, and I had pretty much all of them. Of course some held LTE more than others, but I was still getting frequent drops. Until Sprint moves into the 800 frequency, Holding LTE is going to be a consistent problem.

At 1st I was ready to return the phone because of it but decided it's really not worth it..Central Florida is only at 28% so things should improve once LTE is a little more dense and not so much distance between each tower that has been upgraded..And if i get my panties in a twist I can always go back to the Note II untill more towers are lit up.
Sprint LTE is the Swiss Cheese of 4G...
Yea same here my signal doesn't stay connected switches frequently as compared to my S3 which held 4g constantly Im in Lawrence KS we got good lte signal here

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 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 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.

Data and voice at same times works fine on cm11.

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.
Ever since the first note 7 v1 I been either losing data or signal out of nowhere. Does anyone have this problem? With my S7 I never experience this.
Me!!!! If I go to the bathroom at work where there is no signal and come back out where I have full bars it will not connect back to the network until I reboot or turn airplane mode on. No matter how long I wait.
I think the signal on the note 7 is bad compare to previous devices

I've been having this issue since I had my note 7 replaced. I never had this issue with my old note 7. I take the train to work everyday and spend most of my commute in the tunnel. It doesn't get a signal until I reboot it. Has anyone found a fix for this? If so please let me know. I'm getting a full charge on my phone to see if I reflash the stock firmware to see if that works for me. I'll keep you guys updated.

This problem plagued my 1st Note7, sometimes multiple times a day. After getting my replacement N7 it was the very 1st thing I looked out for and it hasn't happened once.. Making me think(and I really hope not) that it's hardware related
Original N7 was on the most recent update and my N7 V2.0 is also on the recent update.
hope my v2 doesn't do that like v1

Add me to the list...
I have this exact problem with both my V1 and V2 Note 7. I take the train to work and when I go into a tunnel for like 10-15 minutes I'll lose my data connection and when I come out of the tunnel, the Note 7 won't connect back to data. Sometimes it'll show an "X" by the signal status icon...and sometimes it'll show "full bars" but I still won't have a data connection. The same thing happens sometimes when I'm in the elevator at work...I lose connection in the elevator and then the Note 7 won't connect back unless I reboot the phone. This is extremely frustrating since it happens multiple times per week! I may just need to exchange this for a different phone if this problem can't be fixed.
think it needs a radio upsate I hope they are aware of this
