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?

So I just got a T-mobile Nexus 6 and it is unlocked, rooted, and flashed with a custom rom.
Just noticed today that the wifi calling is not an option! I've done some research and cannot seem to find a rom that is based off stock and retains wifi calling feature.
Can someone help me out??
it is a well known fact that google will release an update in quarter 1 of next year to support wifi calling for tmobile(if you did any searching at all, you would know this). with tmobiles code(which is proprietary), wifi calling is impossible. roms use open source code to develop on, wifi calluing is not open source at the moment, so no rom can legally include it. i dont know if you are familiar with nexus devices or not, but everything done on a nexus will be done legally.
It'll have WiFi calling by early next year.
Hopefully there will be a legal way for custom roms to incorporate wifi calling or have it included separately or included on the play store.
I'm not familiar how t mobile does wifi calling anymore but in the past it was in a separate app on the play store.

Don't know too much about the AT&T variants, but just wanted to post this incase it works for you guys. If it works, seems like an awesome way to add a bunch of modifications.

Shortly after posting my question I followed the instructions in that same post and it worked fine for me. I had to put the value in 40 because in 50 it sounds very distorted. Played around with the vaules until I found that 40 is the best one for me.

Hey all! I just wanted to report my discoveries today. I have had a T-Mobile flat S6 for a little over a month now. My father has a S4 that I gave him awhile back, but wanted to get something new. I decided to give him my S6, and get an AT&T S6 Edge for myself. I'm' pretty used to being able to fully modify every aspect of my phones, because I normally only buy phones with unlocked bootloaders. I've done quite a bit of research, and experimentation, and found that even though we are pretty limited in our choices, we can indeed get something like the Alliance Framework to work, which adds a lot of functionality. What I did was install the XtreStoLite ROM from the main S6 Edge section using FlashFire. When it flashes, it will take you to an aroma installer. Could just be my phone, but the phone went totally crazy. Started flashing like crazy, but you could make out the aroma options. I was able to check the options I wanted, and flash. The install worked! After going through and setting things up, I then flashed the secondary package that you can install with the XtreStoLite ROM. Same thing happened where the phone would flash like an old tv that couldn't find signal. I was able to check all the modifications, including the built in Alliance Framework. It flashed fine, but got stuck trying to reboot. I manually rebooted, and after a few minutes, the phone came back on like normal. I checked everything, and the Alliance modifications are fully functioning. I just thought I'd share with you all, in case anyone is mod happy like I am. The link to the ROM is below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-3-t3119968
Thanks for this find! Now I wonder if any other aroma roms work,lol
No signal issues or FC's? Or any major issues at all

No issues! I've been using it all day. Talked on the phone through bluetooth and the built in speaker. Was able to call out and receive calls. Made plenty of texts. Played quite a bit of youtube and netflix. I was also able to install the cocktail mod. Phone feels super snappy also. No lag whatsoever.
If anyone has any questions, I'd be glad to help! :good:

Be careful. Many 925A users, like myself are having GPS issues. Dev is supposed to be fixing I would hold off on XtreStoLite for now

I can confirm the GPS issues. Had it all setup and I liked how good the rom was but without the GPS it's useless. So back to stock.

I recently purchased a Droid Turbo to replace my broken BlackBerry Z10. I did the MOFO root with the tether option with 4.4.4 and every time I talk I lost my data connection. I read an article that mentioned this happening to the turbo, but it should of been fixed by now. I just got thru flashing another rooted ROM this time a 5.1 with the tether ability and still the same thing. I have noticed that with both roots the 4gLTE is white instead of blue, but I am unsure if that's the issue as Ive been running a BB for the last yr instead of a Droid. Any ideas? Has the game changed for Android rooted phones (is this normal)?
Thanks
All icons are now white ...that is no issue .. but there could be that these roms have bugs with signal ....

Thanks for the info.. I think you are probably correct, but I never checked it out before installing the altered ROMS... I pulled the cell out of the box and rooted it before I ever activated it... UGGGG live and learn
You gotta call Verizon to fix this, just have them enable "Advanced HD Video Calling" on your line and the problem will go away.
There is no extra charge. It basically enables VoLTE.

That was the problem to begin with... After I enabled the HD calling everything worked like a charm... I did kinda chew some ass lol... Why should I need to enable something when the phone should already be enabled? :laugh:
You can also enable volte from the my verizon app.
I received this update today and, as promised, Wi-Fi calling and YouTube Live Video Broadcasting are both now available. I've tested both and they work on my S6 Edge.
The App Edge menu is also now included, and works as well.
UHQA audio enhancements are supposedly in there too, but I have no compatible equipment to test that.

Yeah, I saw that there was some new notification feature in Samsung's messaging app, but since I use Verizon's Message+ it slipped my mind to mention it.
And before I get grief about using Verizon's app, I would just add that it is kind of nice having my SMS messages sync'ed across my desktops, tablets and phone - and not that I have anything against the Samsung native app.
I actually liked the app too but just didn't trust Verizon

I hear you, but I figure I've already sold my entire genome to Google and Verizon so it's too late to close that gate any longer.
Now they add the app edge. Too bad I've been using glove box for a while now.

I'd call Verizon on that one, mine activated just fine.
Make sure your wifi is off while trying to activate it. Mine said that at first, I cut wifi off and then it worked perfectly fine.

Just noticed that, after this update, the "smart network switch" setting is gone.
Not sure if that means it is now always on, or if it is always off - but I know which ever way it is, it won't be able to be set the other way any more.
EDIT: Restarted my phone today, and the smart network switch is now visible in the WiFi advanced options list. I was probably wrong about it being gone in the first place, but I would swear it wasn't there when I wrote the original post.

The stock earbuds enable UHQA. I'm sure at this point in my life I have some level of hearing loss but I don't notice a difference with it enabled.

Right. I should have been more specific about not having any way to test the UHQA Bluetooth capabilities. On a related note, I'm thinking of trying out Samsung's noise-cancelling Level headphones. I kind of like the control interface, that allows for track previous/next selection and volume adjustment by swiping the ear-cup
I am just downloading it now. Thanks for the heads up.
With those features. I almost don't even care I don't have root.
Just wish there was better selection in the Samsung theme store for free.
I mean the selection we have on the forums here is awesome.
As far as the sound quality goes. Make sure you tune the frequencies using sound alive as well. It makes a big difference on a per user basis.
Foxfi is working without any problems. Battery life feels the same. Wifi calling working as intended.
Is anyone else noticing with this update and the previous one that there are times where the phone seemingly bogs down but then acts fine a few moments later? Feeling like I should do a factory reset, I know the phone can get wonky after updates and it's always recommended to do that, but want to get feedback first if I'm the only one experiencing this?
wtf!!!, this update completely erased everything from my phone, its as if I did a factory reset. Good thing I have most of the things backed up on the cloud....but still....the hassle....
I guess I was due for a factory reset -_-
