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.
Heya Folks,
I followed the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...43&postcount=1 and applied them to the services.jar from the latest build of MIUI.
See the attached flashable .zip file. I strongly suggest making a nandroid backup due to this being my first attempt at doing this. It booted just fine on my device.
Let me know if it works!

I think a bit of clarity is needed here. This mod will only stop Verizon from slowing down your data speeds.
It will NOT help you avoid overage charges.
For example let's say you're on a 250mb a month plan. This mod only ensures that you will get 250mb at unrestrcited speeds. Going over 250mb will still result in an overage charge.
Also, the reason people keep referring to 5gb on their "unlimited" plan is because Verizon starts to throttle data speeds after 5gb of data. That doesn't mean you get charged more, Verizon just slows you down. This mod will prevent that, and only that.
I hope that clears things up.

Heya,
Only way to test would be to run a speedtest.net over your 3g connection before and after flashing. My 3G sucks here so I can't really test it. I followed it step by step going off of the instructions however.
Just curious if anyone tested this? I know the zip works just curious if anyone has played around with it. My 3g sucks where I live so I feel it isn't an accurate test here

I don't think you will notice a difference, I thought this mod pretty disabled throttling after you use 5GB of data in a month

Can't speak for the MIUI, but SR 3.5 showed significant improvements.
Guess it doesn't hurt to give it a shot.
So can this be flashed to any rom? I have a droid x and I am using the Liberty rom.
No, it is ROM specific.
I tried this patch on 1.1.7 N1 services.jar and got a FC in settings>system>Mobile Network settings. Does a similar thing happen on 12.24 Dinc?
No, this particular thread only worked for 12.24 for the incredible...

No, because there is no difference and flashing this on any rom does nothing but break your one settings menu as mentioned.
As has been previously stated this feature is not actively used by verizon, if it was used you would see a notification icon in regards to it when it is enabled as that is part of the code.
This feature was built by google as an option for carriers should a large majority of customers use android devices, but the bottom line is if vzw wants to throttle your data they do it at the account/network level. Not on your device. Any improvement people report from making this change is a complete placebo / fluke or just a fluctuation in their signal quality / network congestion at the time.
Just quick question, im currently running Team Phoenix Ultimate, on a Rogers Captivate.
I just recieved a call from Rogers telling me that in the past 3 days, ive used 190mb of data. Meanwhile I haven't used the Browser, or even youtube, I generally never bother anyway, ive never used more than 250mb-300mb.
Is there an app/way to know how much data each individual app is using.
( i have beautiful widgets set to every 3hr update, i have facebook to never update, thats the 2 i can think that may use more otherwise, everything pretty standard.
Any thoughts, thanks guys in advance
190mb sounds about the size of a rom... Didn't happen to download one with data, did you?
No sorry, i just found a thread which said to dial Dial *#*#4636#*#*
i looked at battery usuage then network usage, i found something labelled only as "0" has been using alot, when i clicked on it, i got a force close??
I use a free app called ZDbox. You can get it from the market. You can click under 2g/3g data and under more detail it will break down what has been used by each app you have.
How big is your data plan? I have never been called by rogers and there have been times I've used more data than than. Sometimes near the end of my billing period when I still have a gig left I will download roms or what not to use up my data lol. I'm on a 2gb plan

That is the ROM I developed and I wish I could help out but nothing with the ROM will do that. If you happen to find out what is causing it please either reply in this thread or PM me.
ill give that a try, thankyou, Im only on a 500mb, but starting the 15th of may, im getting a 6gb plan.
Okay that makes sense if you have a small data plan like that. I guess its a courtesy thing since you used a huge chunk of your plan in only 3 days. So much better than the old rogers. A guy at work used his blackberry to tether 4 years ago and had a 1500 dollar bill. Lol
Adamholden, glad to see you still around the captivate forums: )
Hey there Adam i love the ROM!!
Just to let you know, I shouldnt have mentioned the ROM, I wasnt trying to blame anything on it, i know for sure its either something Im doing wrong, or Rogers bending me over and giving it to me hard as usual
If i figure it out ill let you know
Did you ever use speed test? I noticed that it uses 6mb data per test.

Watchdog 3g? Oh wait that only tells you all usage. But I updates in realtime so you would see it rising and you could check what you were running...
3G Watchdog Pro does give you a data breakdown by app, but it's not especially accurate.
wife's iphone data usage spiked this month as well...she has never used over 200mb in a month...all the sudden on day 11 got text that she was nearing cap.
Checked data and she was at 170mb. An hour later she hadn't used ANY data.....we were at home and i can confirm her phone was connected to wifi...she uploaded a couple pictures to face book and i get another text...check data and its at 190mb.
I suggest you get Droidstats - It will read your data, minutes, texts and such (also very customizable, you can set your top 5/10.. what time not to count your minutes like night and weekend). Best widget I found so far for tracking
I've looked around and can't find anything. Is it impossible to trick the Bionic that 4G is WiFi?
Curious why?
Probably looking to get around data usage.
I'm interested in this as well. I think it's pretty lame that when I try to upload a video (1080p 1min duration) from my phone to Youtube it tells me I have to be on WiFi. Maybe this is to prevent users from exceeding their allotted data limit...or just cut down on traffic, but I don't like it.
fooling ur 4g for wifi
actually i think ur on to something they may want to control the data usage and the traffic but they still throttle for that purpose they can lie all they want bout vzw not doing that but bs we all know they do! im sure give it time and someone will figure out a way to fool the phone hell y not they come up with everything else! remember droid does!
I, too, wouldn't mind this.
Swyped from my Droid Bionic, unless I was in landscape, in which case I Swiftkeyed the hell out of it.

various reasons. One is so that I won't be restricted when certain apps require wifi (i.e. some Amazon Apps). It's ridiculous to require wifi when Verizon's LTE is so blazing fast.

DTR mods are nothing more than a placebo. They are based on a gross misunderstanding of how throttling works and are no more effective than wrapping your phone in aluminum foil and slathering it with apple butter.
MMMmmmmmm... apple butter.
Other than that, maybe check out my attempt to get anyone interested in what you are referring to.

I have a rooted Note 4 on Verizons Grandfathered Unlimited Data plans and I use hotspot tethering every day.
Is it safe to say that this will not be possible on the Note 8?
THank you for any input.
If you root you can remove tethering flags, alternatively most roms have them removed. Don't know about the options without root, maybe someone else will chime in on those.
If you search the s8+ threads there have been posts about Hotspot without root being successful...I'm going to try the same methods when I get my black unlocked note 8 for sprint...if I find the threads later, I'll update this with the link.

I'm rooted and got tethering to work, but did you ever find an alternative to be able to tether without rooting? This 80% battery issue kind of gets me. I don't mind being stock for now if I could find a tethering method that works. FoxFi is a no go. I haven't tried flashing unlocked firmware. I'm a little afraid to. I heard the coverage might not be as good. Any thoughts?

Yeah...I posted a way a while ago. I forgot about this post though...there is another method as well but it requires you to toggle data on and off to get it working each time...I'll post it too...

Flash unlocked firmware, I have unlocked note 8 on GF UDP, tethering works fine. Also worked fine on S8+

Not STEALING bandwidth...just sharing what we are already paying for with our laptops...
fine, as long as you are only "sharing" the amount of gigs that you actually pay for..if thats the case, then why is this thread titled "carrier undetected"? If you aren't stealing or violating TOS, then why does it have to be "carrier undetected"?
