[Q] WiFi calling - HTC Sensation

Have any of you chefs dug into the us tmobile Rom to see if WiFi calling is included? I haven't seen any Tmobile US specs yet. Just curious about since I rely on it.

the latest rom available from the rom page for TMO has wifi calling included and it works.

I also just got official word from my HTC rep who confirmed that the HTC Sensation will have T-Mobile WiFi calling capabilities.

So even with a non T-Mobile sensation you can flash their rom and get wifi calling working?

[Q] Bell version (850/1900)

Is anyone doing any ROM development for the Bell version of the Sensation?
A quick glance at the development section, and I'm only seeing TMO versions.
I am with att and flashed almost all roms here with out any issues. I just stay away when someone says it is specifically for a particular carrier like supra rom.
So you should be fine, if you have issues with data speeds you can flash the corresponding ril files for your radio.

But which phone did you buy? The Z710E or the Z710A?
Same as Kirdroid, no issues here either.
and you purchased the Z710a, not the z710e?

Android Revolution 4 g compatible?

Hey, im running 3.1 of Android Revolution HD on my new 4g Sensation and I don't seem to have 4g access ever since I've rooted my phone. Beforehand on stock there was a little plus next to my mobile data symbol but now its gone.
The speed test app also showed lackluster results, my download speed was like 534kb while upload was around 700 kb.
I am assuming there is an easy solution to this, maybe turn it on in settings or something. (I just checked the 4g coverage for my area and apparently I have 21 mbps download speeds.)
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!!!
(I am with Bell Aliant in Canada by the way)
May depend on the radio you have installed. Just something every user has to play with. H is also the same thing as 4G with t-mobile. You also cant go according to what they say you can get either. It's all in the hspa+/4G dispute.
Ohhhhh, yes it must be the radio then. Why does the Developer of Revolution HD recomend using the radio listed with his rom? Apparently I lost 4 g access by installing it.
So, by uninstalling it and reinstalling my old radio I should regain 4g access right?
Also, what downfalls are there to using a stock radio?
Thanks!

I have been using his radio i live in Minnesota and i get around 6 Meg down and 3 Meg up, Ive tried a few different radios and have had about the same results, You shouldnt lose 4G altogether.

Not necessarily, the radio that Mike recommends with his ROM is the same radio that is coming with the OTA update from T-Mobile.
I would check to see what your RIL is, I bet it is 162 and you may want to change it to 169 and see if that helps first.
Wouldn't using non-matching ril file cause problems? Can you post the command to check what ril you have for reference please?

Mike's ROM by default has RIL 169 but when it runs the script to see if your phone is t-Mobile 4G or not it changes the RIL to 162 if it is a t-mobile 4G and leaves it at 169 if it is not a t-mobile 4G.
To check to see what RIL you have run getprop "gsm.version.ril-impl" in Terminal Emulator or adb shell and it will print out the RIL version!
Nice. I have 162 but have a tmous 4G sensation. I have the radio in his op so is it ok to run that radio with the 169 ril?

Yes it is, the default RIL in his ROM is 169 and when it senses you have a T-Mobile 4G is switches it to RIL 162. I ran 162 for a while then switched to 169 and am trying it out today.
Cool. Thanks. Will try as well

Same here, but with occasional wifi calling FC's. I did find with mine that GreenPower caused a low wifi signal for some reason. Turning that app off immediately increased signal strength.
I got the phone already rooted & the only ICS rom I tried was ARHD. Everything was good & all but I just couldn't never get my WiFi connected. I don't never use WiFi calling.
No prob here, I'm using ARHD 6.2.1. Previous version had a wifi problem. I also have wifi calling available.

The reason I ask is because there is two ways two s-off your phone one of the ways seems to be causing wifi issues, according to some users. Doesn't sound you know what method was used to s-off yours but sounds like it was with the htcdev site.

do you have any issues with wifi calling? Because I have the same setup as yours and the wifi calling connection drops every 5-10 minutes even if I'm not on the phone. Yet the WiFi maintains its connection with my router...

Common issue with WiFi calling. Your lucky you have it at all as T-Mobile haven't updated their app since Android 2.3.4

If you have a WiFi problem you may need to:
Extract the Rom file on the pc and it may have an unsecured boot.img file. If so then download adb and put the boot file in the same folder as the adb file. It has to be the same folder. Then hold shift and right click on the folder and press open in command prompt. The phone needs to be in fastboot, go into hboot and click fastboot and have it plugged in. Then on the command prompt type fastboot flash boot boot.img , after that is done type fastboot reboot-bootloader and then fastboot reboot. This flashing should be done after the Rom has been flashed, I do it before the first boot.

I've tried using wifi calling on at least 3 or 4 different ICS roms and it does the same thing dropping the call within a few minutes. I don't even bother trying it anymore, too bad as it would be really nice to have. Maybe when HTC releases a final version but I'm not holding my breath.
I found a ROM that works...thanks anyways.
Yeah, no problems here on V.I. 3.5.0

Okay now I'm confused...some other members have told me that you have to go back to TMo's stock CID to get the OTA...
Someone tell me the final answer please!
Thanks!!!

I don't understand what all the fuss is. We already have essentially fully working ICS ROMs available. Wifi calling works just great with ARHD. The TMO stock ICS ROM will be pretty crippled no doubt, and we'd just be waiting for a mod of that anyway, which doesn't seem to make much sense.
The only item of potential interest would be the radio. Or perhaps an update to wifi calling for those who are experiencing issues.
On a side note, is the native usb/wifi/bt tethering different from TMO's adaptation nowadays?

Is there a way possible to change the phones modem?

Is there a way possible to change the phones modem? i been reading that some people have flashed new modems to improve signal strength
That's radios, modems are for the Samsung.

Unless you are using A GB Sense ROM, don't change your RIL. That's only for Sense ROMs GB and below.
I am using a sense Rom bro I found a ril 2.2....18 that give me an outrageous boost on signal, especially at work an in my apartment which were or use to be two dead zones for me, use to have to go outside to use the phone

Like I said, only use a RIL for a pre-ICS Sense ROM.
