[Q] WiFi calling on EaglesBlood - seems to be stuck...?

I just fresh flashed to EaglesBlood
WiFi calling seems to be stuck. It says "enabling" but it's stuck on this forever.
I did a reset (just in case) - didn't fix it
any thoughts?
Thanks!!!

Wifi calling is notoriously bad. It will work fine for some and barely ever work for others. My completely stock 2.3.3 had the same problem time and time again, as does my phone in its current setup. I believe the problem is external.

Thank you. That's so odd, during the night (did you notice XDA was down for maintenance?) i switched to Weapon ROM and the WiFi issue persists. Yet my wife's phone, the Vibrant, stock rom of course, does the WiFi thing every time and right on the money. Damn it LG!

I think I remember reading that it was having trouble switching DNS servers when needed or something along those lines. I found plenty of feedback on these forums if you want to do a quick search and see if you can dig anything up.
(Yeah, I noticed the forums went down for a bit. I was in the middle of something at the time and really needed links!)

[Q] Wifi Calling Issue...??

So I've had a problem that I've noticed a lot of people having: Receiving an error that says, "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has suddenly stopped. Stopping the app and clearing data has only ever been a temporary fix for me.
Now, I've made a new discovery: The error stops when I turn off Wifi Calling. I pretty much NEED Wifi Calling when I'm at my house, so I was wondering if there might be a possible solution to this.

I am in the same situation where I need wifi calling in my place...GB ROMs are the most reliable you will find atm...

I'm going to run through a couple of different roms to see what I can come up with.

That is a common issue with ICS at the moment. I have found that if it does this just do a hard boot (boot holding Power + Volume Up for 10 seconds while starting phone) and then turn on Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi calling and that has fixed it for me a few times.

This happens with every ICS rim out there.... Believe me I tried them all. I need it for work and unfortunately I had to resort to GB.... You will never get rid of that error. Sorry but I tried everything as well.. Good luck and God speed......

Yeah I've finally decided to break down and go to GB. I just finished downloading a few roms to test out to see which one I like best. I've loved having ICS on my phone. It's quite lovely, but just too many bugs right now. I will still be coming back to ICS (even if only temporarily) to scope out the HFS 1.8 when it arrives, but until then I'll have to do with out.

I just made the same determination. Really really like everything about HFS 1.8 except I get the same error when Wifi calling is enabled. I work in a dungeon basement office with zero cell reception, so I really need Wifi calling to work reliably.
Will definitely be back once the Wifi calling issues are fixed though.

Data connection issues.

Hi. I was using my Sensation last night, went to bed and woke up the next day only to find that my 4G connection wasn't working! The signal bars were white and the icon (currently an H) is flashing. What does this mean? How can I fix it? I can only use Wifi at the moment, and I DO NOT pay an extra $10/mo to deal with this! How can I fix this? I've checked my data settings, rebooted my phone, scanned fir viruses, but can't figure it out!

They are referring to the number you call for T-Mobile US costumer service.

this happened to me the other day, even in 3G/4G mode my data would never connect and E would just keep flashing over and over again (in like 10 sec. intervals) thought it was a ROM problem so I restored a backup and sure enough, the problem was still happening. I could still make calls and send texts fine tho. its not happening to me anymore, but I found it weird. could it possibly be T-Mobile messing with their towers or something in preparation for LTE?

Well, I'm not sure what caused this very same issue for me a couple days ago. I can say that it ONLY effected my AOSP (CM9) rom, but my Sense rom was unphased. It seems to be a common recent complaint in the OpenSensation thread...
I've since then done a fresh install of CM9 RC1 with the addition of Tamcore's kernel. Although I'm not experiencing the described symptom any longer, I can say that my data speeds are far from exceptional. I'm not sure what is going on, but it does seem to be carrier related.

I experienced the same 1 day after flashing CM9 RC1. I re-flashed the Virtuous Inq. ROM I was using previously and the problem went away

My phone went back to normal later on. I think you were right mulletcutter, they might have been servicing it.

Same data connectivity issue
I have two sensations, both shows similar data connectivity issue on TMobile. Data signal jump to connected and not connected for couple hours, and eventually problem will go away. I have both phones rooted running either CM9 or Kang. So far I have tried couple following things but no solutions. I believe its HTC Sensation hardware issue:
1. Flickering so far seen usually after night long charge in the morning. It will last couple hours, some time days.
2. Changing/reflashing ROMs did not help at all and saw same issue continued.
3. One of my friend has Sensation and he also has seen same issue.
4. Some time going into Phone application(Dialer) and then Settings/Advance settings and come back without doing anything helps but not always.
Please post here is you have temporary/permanent solution or even know the root cause of this data connectivity issue.
Also thinking to call Tmobile to get some kind of help but not expecting much as I bought phones more than year ago but less than 2 years. I don't want to give any more commitment/agreement with Tmobile as planning to move to value plans to save some money. If Tmobile does not help, thinking to try American Express to conver it under extentended warranty as I paid by AMEX credit card.
Thanks

Have you tried the application get ril? I was having some issues myself, I'm also T-Mobile. I tried get ril and found out my radio and ril we're not matching. The application suggested a ril for download and once I did that I went from one bar of connection to five bars of connection on H. It made a big difference for me. Perhaps it could also help you? You can download get ril from the market. It sure won't hurt to try. Best of luck.

Its a defect in the basic aosp framework. There is nothing you can do to fix it. There is also nothing your usage did to start it.
The good news is that it should disappear on its on after a few hours.
Check my threads started history. You will find a thread near the top of that list showing almost all there is to know about this issue. I think my thread might be linked in the first 2 posts of the cm10 faq thread too.

Wifi Calling and ICS?

I understand that wifi calling does not work on the current crop of ICS ROMs and from what I have gathered there are some proprietary pieces that make wifi calling on the SGS4G different than any other phone, so my question is whether anyone plans on bringing this to any of the ICS Roms? It's a requirement for me because of lousy T-Mobile signal strength at home and work. I keep reading through all the ICS ROM posts to see if anyone is working on it and so far I haven't seen anything so I thought I'd ask. I'm sure that getting all the core functionality is at the top of the list for most devs, but hopefully this one won't fall by the wayside.
Thanks,

This is on the list. However getting the builds stable and pretty much bug free is top priority.
A temporary fix is try grooveip from the play store. There is a lite version that only works on wifi. It uses google voice to make calls using a wifi/data connection make calls. I know you can make texts show up as your mobile number and Im almost positive the same with your number. If not just tell people its a extension. The only downfall is if you get a call to your regular number it will not ring to the phone just go to your VM.

Using grooveip isn't an option for me because I can't use a different number. My cell is a work phone and too many people have the number to try to get them to use something different.
I'm glad to know it is being worked on. I will continue to use GB until this gets resolved.
Thanks,

sigh.... i'm also eager to use ICS, but need wifi calling. I'll keep lurking until thats an option (or I get a new phone)

Look at this thread. I followed the instructions and managed to get WiFi installed and showing as "Enabled." I guess that the only thing left to do is try it out tomorrow when I go to work. Hope this helps.

Let us know if this worked. From what I've read, it is more complicated than that, but I'd be happy to be wrong.
Thanks,

It worked for me at least after testing it at work (I loose signal as soon as I work into the building). I was able to send out text messages without any problems but was unable to test wifi calling since I am struggling with a weak wifi signal. Is there a way to flash modems? I have tried booting into recovery and flashed moddem and unmmoded modems with no success.

OK wifi calling doesn't support wifi texting, I know because I have tried. So you were definetely mistaken. There is no wifi calling app built into any current ICS rom because of the lack of the kernel kineto drivers. It's not a bug hypothetically. It is just not there.That's like saying that NFC worked on this phone. So there is no possible way for a fluke.

Same Boat
I work in the second level basement of my building. We call it the dungeon, and if you ever visit you'll see why. (That's not a bad thing because users are generally afraid to come down here). Lacking the required dev skills I have been waiting for a post-MIUI2.0 or ICS rom that worked out the wifi calling problem. Looks like someone's moving the ball for the HTC Sensation, Galaxy Note and maybe other devices.

Against reason and explicit warning I tried these updates anyway. Wifi calling installs, but never completely initializes to run. One update temporarily broke my radio/modem which I fixed by flashing back to stock and moving forward to miui2.0. Luckily I did not brick my phone!

Two options.
1. Use grooveip or something similar as a work around. Forward calls while at work to your google voice number.
2. Start a bounty thread to get wifi calling working on the sgs4g. It sounds like there are a bunch of people that need it and if five of you throw in 20 bucks that is a 100 dollar incentive to get it working.

wifi texting does work

I'm pretty sure it does. Other than anecdotal evidence like I send texts through WiFi Calling in my dead zones (basements, work, friend's homes), if you were on KJ6 modem and couldn't send extended texts (it'd fail to send), you could send them just fine through WiFi Calling without flashing another modem. So, I'm not sure what method you tried so it could have been something unique about your phone.

Me too

Text over wifi works for me too on KJ6. Never send really long texts so I never dropped back to KG4; I'm satisfied with my ValBlack gingerbread rig in this way.

I have also the motorola defy and no one was able to make wifi calling work on Ics, most devs are from outside the Us and no one really cares, they are really good, one even ported JB already. But the SGS4G is tmobile only, so hopefully someone can make it work, tmobile signal is spotty and wifi calling is a must have. Iam staying on GB until its fixed

Huge Network Issues (TMO)

I just recently completed a move from Vegas to Phoenix. Upon arriving i saw that my mobile network just constantly bounced from edge to none to 4g to 3g and nothing ever above 2 bars. no matter where i go, thats the way it is. even when other people with TMO are right next to me and have perfect service. i finally bit the bullet and went into the tmo store and basically the guy told me that i had to get a new phone. My current rom is paranoid android but it does the same on AOSP MIUI and sense 4 viper rom. havent tried any others because i figure i have most of my bases covered there. ive flashed every combination of radio and RIL possible and it does the same thing. when i went in, they gave me a new sim card because they said my sim card was "2G" but seemed to pick up 4g just fine in vegas with 0 issues.
did my phone just really magically break while driving i guess?
another note: it seems worst when sending text messages, like ill recieve one with 2 bars of 3g, type it out, hit send, right after i hit send it just drops the service and says message cannot be delivered. i just have to keep getting it sent back and send it again until it finally goes through. this issue is very very frustrating. thanks for any help you guys can give me, i do want to get a new phone but need this one to work until i can afford it. oh yeah, newest firmware if that matters but i hadnt even updated it before i got out here, it was just one of things i tried to fix it. NOTHING has worked or even helped a little bit.

You and I live in different ends of the US but we seem to have the same issue. My wife has a Sensation also and has good signal most places when I can be right beside her and have no signal, just like right now, I will be lucky to get this to send. I too have tried several radios and RIL's also. I got some advice from mf2112 a short while back. I am just now going to look into it further. Check the pins that make connection to the back cover and make sure they all are making good connection. I am checking mine as soon as I get home, I am sick of not having signal when I know I should.

Hey guys i have an advice the same happened with me and i installed the official ruu with european radio and ril and it just went fine from there and after that i installed many roms(i lost the count anyway)it worked fine 4me try it out bestof luck

I just checked my connections and even lightly cleaned the dust off of them to see if maybe that was the issue. actually seems like it helped a little but not enough to solve the issue. it was definitely worth a shot though. might be placebo effect tho...

are you talking about flashing the actual RUU that says "mod edit: do not flash" or are you talking about the 3.33 firmware from europe? i flashed this firmware and it didnt help my issues. im wondering if i shouldnt try to go back to 100% stock or something this is very frustrating. the guy at the store told me "you know, when you flash things over and over sometimes stuff just breaks" which doesnt make any sense to me. every phone ive ever had i could flash as i please. and i wasnt even heavily flashing anything on this one until i started having this issue.

I have done exactly what the poster has done.
I have done everything... here's what I know
The issue is only from cm9 and aokp.. try flashog hyper nonsense and you shouldn't have issues.. problem is u lose all the aokp settings
It seems.like the issues flux in out.. one day it will work.. one day it wont.. sometimes I.wonder if the tower you are connected to.makes a difference
No,.it.doesn't break from.flashing it.over and over.. the storage is flash so it doesn't have a limit
