I have an unbranded Sensation. Is there anyway someone can pull the wifi calling app and the libs needed for it from their phone? I want to see if I can get it to work on an unbranded Sensation
I would love to have the same app, signal in my apt. sucks
You will need root before you can push over the kernel / kineto libs needed to support the Wifi calling app.
i guess someone can work on this now since S-off is available.

I require this since i have low signal at my house and rely on the Wifi Calling app, and i'm sure i'm not alone. I'm devoting this thread to this. JBoogie, i've been told you're the man with the skills here, so if i can help in any way let me know.
Agreed! I've asked more and more, but I haven't gotten an answer - I've no signal in my dorm, where I live! And i need wifi calling

lol, i searched and the only posts that came back was the one by you asking if it worked! If i knew anything about making this work i would!
Guys none of them have it. But there was an apk put up.somewhere. you should ask jboogie3 to help you with making a zip file so that you can flash it on any rom.

Side question.. does anybody know of which SBFs contain wifi calling?
Wifi calling? Wifi can access moible network? Or do you mean VOIP?
Maybe should turn to your carrier. And ask them whether they can supply sets like femtocell.
in defy cm7 2.3.5...voip calls works..inbound/outbound..you just need to have a active SIP line to apply in the internet calling accts.
as long as you have a data/wifi active & connected your defy-its magic.
tried it myself & used a SIP acct..works great on overseas intl calls too..
I assume that everyone is talking about the Kineto UMA app that is being introduced on some of the ?Orange branded roms ?
There is a good thread here on XDA which has the Kineto android app, but it looks like it depends on other dependancies which need to be built into a custom rom.
Will be watching this thread with interest though.

In the US, T-Mobile provides WiFi Calling free for its customers. Another benefit is people can call your mobile phone number
If someone using a Froyo rom, using tmobile US service, and does not currently have Wifi calling - send me a pm.
I think I have this working, but as I'm not in the US, or using tmobile, I cannot test this.
So ya get in touch and well see what we can do.

Haha well good luck P
Skype (and other wifi calling apps) are available on the market; so why ask to 'bloat' roms with this??
Just use MarketEnabler and try a US provider if Skype is not available for you to download.

Skype is not free to call phones (only Skype-to-Skype) and people cannot call your mobile phone number!

I don't think some of you guys are catching this. Lookup T-Mobile uma. It allows you to make calls using wifi when you are out of the coverage area. It is not a separate sip acct, it uses your cell minutes.

PM sent. Thanks!
I have stock 2.2 on my G2x and want to install CM7, the only app I care about (and reason I switched to T-mobile) is wifi calling (UMA). If I adb pull /system/app/kineto.apk from the phone, install cm7, and push the apk back to the phone will it work ? Do I need to pull any libs from /system/libs/ ? I read on some thread that wifi calling after cm7 does not work, so I want to make sure before I root and mod my phone. I also downloaded the gingerbread leak version of the kineto.apk just in case the stock (2.2) one does not work... But if someone can please confirm that this process works I can root/mod this puppy PDQ.
Thanks a ton for your help.
I'm confused...is the wifi calling app even necessary? Even with the app uninstalled (or frozen), I just connect to wifi and then dial a phone number and my calls connect. So what's the purpose of this app that runs 24 hours a day?
The wifi calling (UMA) app allows you to make calls over T-mobile network by using a WIFI even if you have no signal, this is similar to the ATT femtocell calling. The app needs to be running inorder for you to make wifi only calls using T-mobile network. T-mobile supports UMA calling and no other carrier does.
CM7 comes preloaded with WiFi Calling installed. What is the issue here?
BTW, the app only turns on and activates IF turned on and WHEN wifi is enabled. If WiFi is off, so is WiFi Calling. It has been prebuilt into CM7 for over a month. It made its way into CM7 in one of the earlier builds (#13 I think).
I have the latest CM7#58 and I use WiFi Calling all the time while at work. Make sure you grab some signal before activating as it has to communicate to the cell towers to activate the app.
player911, thanks a ton I did not know that CM7 comes preloaded with wifi calling app... I will be rooting and modding my phone today! Bye Bye stock POS 2.2... Hello CM7

This is correct.
However, the little notification will ALWAYS say "Wi-fi calling uses plan minutes", at least for me. I verified with Tmo that I had free wi-fi calling on my account, and the rep said "it's a known issue, the notification is wrong, don't worry about it".

I'm really fond of my T-Mobile WIFI calling app. With ASOP ICS, will there be a Wifi Calling App or is that a HTC or T-Mobile only application that comes with the T-Mobile US Sensation?

Wifi callng is both a Tmobile application and requires the appropriate tmobile service plan to function.
It also requires special kernel .so's to function properly. HTC does support this in their kernel, no idea if AOSP will by default.

credits go to tytung, I just tested it on my inspire 4g and WiFi calling is working now on sense 4.0 ICS. This is an improvement over the virtuous Unity sense 3.0 wifi calling for t-mobile.

it says error not found 404
Any way of getting WiFi calling to work on BinDroid (or any other gb roms?) I'm a Tmobile customer, and my service isn't real good here.
That would definitely make my day!

Install it through recovery.
I have installed the IceColdSandwich-8.6.AOKP rom, and tried to install this package now. I Installed it through recovery, but when i start the app it says Invalid Sim card. You said you had gotten it to work. Which Rom/Kernel/Radio do you have? My phone is originally from Norway, but I now live in New Hampshire. Any ideas?

It doesn't work on all networks.

Doesn't work on my Desire HD
So I thought I'd give this a shot because I don't get good reception at work, but it's a no go. I am using JellyTime _42_R8 (android 4.2.2). As soon as I start the phone, or try and start the program manually, I get a message saying that unfortunately wifi calling has stopped.
will use minutes?
Hi,
will the t-mobile wifi app not use your minutes? I use my inspire 4G with tmobile network ($30 unlimited data and 100 min) and few months back when I got this phone, I tried many wifi/4G calling apps. the obvious choice was tmobile wifi calling but I dropped that idea as I came to know it uses minutes(if you have the monthly/prepaid plan)
I am happy with the grooveIP (pro) and csipSimple anyways.heard good things about vonage as well.

Really? That's odd. My ex had recently got an LG Optimus L9 (P769) on the same plan and it had a WiFi Calling feature, but it didn't use her minutes.

I don't believe wifi calling will work, I looked at the device tree for pyramid on jellybean branch and right now wifi calling is removed
It'll be easier to use the sensation wifi calling from a jellybean sense in the near future
