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?

[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] Wifi calling

Do we have any devs lurking around here willing to make a flashable.zip of the wifi calling feature for the TMO users as it will only work on their devices? I would like to run an aosp rom but really need this feature. Apps from the market just don't cut it

Thats why this thread is directed at the developers. So they could answer as to wether they were willing or not. Payment is always an option that is not above me. If I had the coding ability to do something like this, I would not be asking for help on here.

previously the wifi calling was done through an app that was active. Now it seems like wifi calling is enabled through a system setting which mean it must be built into the framework at this point. some have been able to take the additional framework stuff and add it into international roms and then port the settings.apk that has the toggle over as well. so not sure if this will ever come to aosp.

[Q] 4g/LTE/3G not working on Custom Roms

Hello XDA,
So I've purchased my 1st quad-core phone Saturday. I'm extremely happy about the phone's cosmetics and performance. Of course, being the flash-aholic that I am, I decided to beef it up!! After finially getting an AOSP rom that I felt comfortable with, I flashed and everything was great.... Until I noticed that my data stopped working. The funny thing is if I turn on airplane mode, make a call, or restart the phone the data comes on for about 2 minutes and then turns back off. After messing around with settings and such, I restored my stock rom. On the stock rom data works like it should. So I decided to try 2 other roms. One being GE and the other AOSP. Both are doing the same thing with data connectivity.
Is this a known issue? Did I do something wrong? I looked through the Q&A's and I didn't find anything. Keep in mind that I am very experienced up to full development of rooting/flashing/customizing/etc
Thanks in Advanced!!!!!
Update: T-mobile is my service provider

*bump*
It's imperative that I find out if this is fixable or not as I will return the unit if it's not...
Apologies

Did you try updating the radio firmware to match the ROM that you were using? Did you try another Sense ROM to see if the issue wasn't an underlying setting from a GE or AOSP ROM? Did you flash a custom Kernel? Did you match the RILs? Lots of things that you could try to isolate the issue.

I use PA from the regular HTC One forum even though I'm on T-Mobile... It shouldn't matter, I still get the same speeds. Some different ROMs will use different names, like the aosp stuff uses 3g, H, H+ and LTE. In order to enable lte you have to go into the settings for mobile data, APN and then make sure it's the one that's like fast.tmo whatever. That's the LTE APN

what's the exact APN name that should be there? I was reading about it but no one said what T-mobile's APN should be. they just noted that it should be changed the correct carrier.

Enable removed Bluetooth tethering (Solved)

Ok, I know many of us USA users have had bluetooth tethering removed. And we all want it back.
I found this thread here that shows how to unlock it but for the Galaxy S3, I am sure the same methods would apply to us on the note3.
I have tried, but I don't have any luck recompiling the files. So if anyone wants to take the plunge and do this for us.
Here are the unmodified files for the Note3 USA TMobile
Update: I have installed and am using the DRAGONSAIR V3 rom. (Thanks AndieRoid for the info, And Thanks to dragonstalker for the ROM)

Possibly, But waiting for someone who has time to try and edit the framework to see if it unlocks.

I've checked through threads in US devices for s4 and note3, but no one seems to have much of a need to even be interested in looking into you. I'd say you'll still have more luck asking in device specific threads than here though
Your carrier may also have blocked it even if you could add it...

That would be wonderful if we could. AT&T= Lock Boot loader, so we have to do things the hard wary.

ATT Note 3 here with no native BT tethering in settings. I tried modifying the apk as per the tutorial with no luck. Going to try and decompile some framework apks from different Note 3 ROMs and compare to ATT version and see if I can make something work. Not too sure what else to do for now.
Edit:
Attempted to look at other Note 3 ROMs' frameworks-res.apk file. The tutorial says to add this entry: "<item>bnep\\d</item>" All of the Note 3 ROMs have a different entry "bt-pan" instead. Tried with both entries and neither is giving me the Bluetooth tether option so there is something else we are missing so we can get Bluetooth tether to show up.

It shows bluetooth tethering on the note 3, enabled it. Seem like it will work, just no way to test it as my gear does not show the setting. Trying wipe and null 11.1 I will report back soon.
Update: Still no bluetooth internet option on the gear. Must mean the note is not sending it. Any idea?

So do you have a t-mobile Note 3 USA version? Does Bluetooth tether actually work? (Did you verify?), I now show the option, but it does not seem to work.
