Hi guys,
Sorry if this has been discussed but i am new and not very tech savy so forgive me.
I have a HTC sensation that I am using on tmobile USA network.
The phone is working great but it does not have the WI FI Calling app that comes with Tmobile branded HTC senations.
I need this app to work on my OEM/Unbranded HTC sensation because parts of my office has no connection from tmobile and this app will be priceless for me!
Please direct me to an easy way to get this app on my HTC sensation.
THANKS
Is that stock firmware? Is your phone rooted?

Pretty sure TMO Wifi Calling only works if you're on TMO, not AT&T or others.

if your running a stock unbranded sensation, you need to root the phone to even start the process. I have a thread where you can make sure you have the RILs, the APK and the line for support in your build.prop, but you could just flash one of the good roms since most of them include wifi calling anyways
Please tell me one of the really good ones that you know off that works without glitches as being a physician, my phone HAS to work.
Please. thanks.

As far as ROMs with WiFi Calling, you can take your pick of any threads in the Sensation Development forum marked TMOUS**. Personally, I've been using MT_S4G (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201972). I can confirm that WiFi calling works like a charm.
Just make sure you've backed up your important information (Call Logs, Text Messages, etc.) before you flash a custom ROM. Sorry if that's old news, just wanted to make sure.
And one small side-note, I'd personally hold off on telling people you'll donate when asking for replies. I know you meant it kindly, and to communicate your urgency. But it might get taken the wrong way by some folks. We're all on here to help each other out because it's fun, not necessarily because we're looking to make a couple bucks :]
Good luck!
**Actually, I just realized that you're on an unbranded phone. Duh. If that's the case, I don't know if you necessarily HAVE to use a custom ROM marked TMOUS. Maybe someone else can confirm this for me.
No you dont,Leedroids rom has a flashable zip to install it and it works fine on my unbranded sensation if i smash a TMO Sim in it

I know this is the wrong thread for the HTC Inspire 4G, but since we don't have a dedicated section for the handset yet, I thought this would be the best place to share these links.

Nice! Thanks a lot for the videos.
I was wondering the same thing - why no sub forum for Inspire yet? Anyways, I hear people are concerned over the battery life, as the specs are almost identical to the desire HD. What are your impressions on the battery life? With typical usage, will it last till night? Is 24 hours pushing it? I love everything else about this phone!
Itching for an upgrade!

Might just be that area, I get faster than that with my Hero here in Baltimore.
The Inspire IS a Desire HD. The only difference is that this version has support for AT&T's 3G bands.
Battery life has been OK, but not great. Under constant use, the HTC Inspire lasted about 9 hours yesterday. Keep in mind I was testing apps, running benchmarkes, and such. I'll hopfully get a much better result today as I'm back in the office and will use it for day-to-day pursposes.
I'll be doing some camera testing later on and i'll be sure to post a link once I have sample images and video to show off.
I was looking at getting the motorola atrix but off contract it's too expensive. This phone looks awesome with htc sense, blows my iphone 4 out of the water. Can't wait!!!

I would be surprised if rooting and sideloading isnt't possible by the first day I wouldnt think it would much different than the DesireHD. Custom rom will be able to be ported from the Desire HD thread i would think.

Check out the Android Development section on the Inspire 4G.
I've made a thread link to a program so we can manually push market apps we have bought and others that are not available on the market.
Its worked for other phones, now all we have to do is test it and see if it works for the Inspire as well.
Nothing can replace root on a phone but this is just a temporary alternative until someone truly genius gets to work on the Inspire.

I got the Inspire 4G. It really is a nice device. It truly is a re-badged Desire HD. HTC has forgotten to change some of the BT menus so they even still say Desire HD.
The software set is fairly decent and unrestrictive. There is a fair amount of AT&T Bloatware that can't just be uninstalled (normal).
I have been up all morning trying to find a version of SWYPE that hasn't expired that has a matching screen resolution for the phone. Even being part of the beta you can sideload the swype app but then the app itself wants to install a separate language pack which the phone blocks.
Feel free to PM suggestions or post questions.

how did you get it early
pics or it never haappened ;D sweet. So who was it that thought they had a rroot procedure?
I got it early via an HTC Release party for the phone. I work for AT&T.

I too work for AT&T and I got the inspire today. The device is snappy and actually benchmarks approximately a 1600 in Quadrant. You are correct about the rebadging as even the XDA app default Sig said Desire HD.

This is an easy fix fortunately with the Telus radio. Stupid on their part though. At least its fixable by us on the Inspire, unlike the atrix.

Early reports have suggested that the RUU downgrade (in order to root) is causing sound to fail on the Telus Desire HD. So tread cautiously with your Inspires. Maybe they changed the audio hardware and the older firmwares don't have a driver for it?

One person who got the sound bug just got his DHD replaced and won't try again until it is safe. Another user who got it too - has said he will try reflashing the Telus RUU when he gets home in a few hours. If that succeeds then at least we know there's a safety net.
The sound bug is fixed already. i'm running a euro rom on mine with working sound. Everything will be available shortly.
Btw flashing the att ruu fixed any issues i had with sound so there is a safety net.

No this is about the USA model called the HTC inspire 4g. It is a Desire HD but with a couple different hardware modifications. I need to make sure a script we've put in this rom sets up both versions with the correct audio/GPS requirements.

We are going to push changes to the CM7 DHD device before then, probably tonight. You can test anytime you like, but before the changes are introduced would be far more helpful and beneficial - to you.
I'll give it a try tomorrow hopefully, and I'll report back. It's pretty late at this side of the world so I can't really call anyone right now.
music through speaker = yes
music through headset = yes
Calls through headset / speakerphone / regular phone =yes
mic = will test in a minute when i find some to call that is up
http://cyanogenmod.pastebin.com/dRVRCtwS
EDIT:
mic working fine in all situations
GPS appears fine (i get a lock in GPS Status)
I have both an inspire 4G and a Desire HD.. here in the US, the Inpsire I just got running on AT&T with CM7 and the cm7-inspire-audio-gps-fix patch from the inspire CM7 post.
My Desire HD was from my trip back to Hong Kong when I bought it there, currently I have a US t-mobile Prepaid sim in there.. its running the RC nightly #6
I'll up my desire to #8 and give this a try, and report back, is there any additional information you need, aka Radio info before I start testing?

Mic Works headphone/Speaker/handset
GPS works able to locate multiple
Audio good on headphones/speaker/handset
do you want me to try this on my Inspire?
Full article from Android and Me
HTC has delivered a ROM to us however it is still having issues the reason that other sensation types have the update without issue and ours did not come out that way is because every ROM must be adapted to the hardware of the device because we use a different radio than other providers and also have applications such as wifi calling it also has to be compatible with those. What the HTC rep told you is most likely correct because once a ROM is delivered we have 2 weeks to test it and then approve it or send it back they then have 4 weeks to fix the bugs and return it back to us, where we are exactly in that process I do not know but that is how a ROM is delivered to the customer.
The original ROM was not delivered to us in November, we started testing it just recently but I think it has been longer than 2 weeks so at this point HTC most likely has the ball.
You bought a phone and it has been announced that you are getting ICS you have every right to know what’s going on with it and when you can see these awesome features. I did go into a lot of detail about how a ROM gets to the end user (you guys) but that wasn’t to point fingers only so you would have a better understanding of why you don’t have it yet, the bottom line is the Sensation has T-Mobile’s and HTC’s name all over it and both companies want to make you proud to be a Sensation owner so we are working as fast as we can to deliver it but also want to make sure that it stands up to your expectations.

A fairly meaty update that helps explain the process, the holdup and a possible time frame for when we might see the release.
So T-Mobile can't get their WiFi Calling and other bloatware to work, but our custom ROM chefs don't seem to have a problem?

It seems that HTC can't get the Wifi calling to work within spec. It didn't work the first time and TMO told HTC that they needed to work on it some more. It's going back and forth between TMO and HTC.
And no offense to our devs here, but lets be realistic. Our roms here aren't without their issues. Ie. wifi calling still crashing, mms not working, proximity sensor issues, wifi issues, bt issues, etc. but the positive is that the roms here get better than their respective base.

I don't think it's fair that the devs don't have access to the same resources that tmo and htc have either. If they did we would probably also have perfect 'native' ports of Samsung's, Sony's, and Moto's UIs, lol. it is what it is. the devs have improved on what's been released (although, I would like to see a rom that emphasizes stability instead of tweaks - Maybe I'll take a crack at it if I can find enough time, we'll see).
As far as free help is concerned... I don't know how much work they actually take off XDA (although, i'm sure it's happened, i feel like it's little). The X10 (in which I had a little previous experience) had a number of things fixed that's never (and never will be) fixed in any official rom.
but the original point was to contradict this statement: "our custom ROM chefs don't seem to have a problem" and "So T-Mobile can't get their WiFi Calling and ...". There are issues and it's not just TMO but HTC can't fix wifi calling in a timely manner. Just trying to dispel inaccuracies (IMHO).
I would rather have a clean ROM straight from HTC without T-Mobile adding junk to it anyway, including WiFi calling...
Well what it is that tmobl locked the phone up so it can't use att making HTC redo there **** its out everywhere but here in us
Looks like a corp had a hand trying to block the progress of something with hardware changes and bloatware I would love a Rom from HRC or google with out tmob trash but I am not on tmob now so I have no bloat lol

Speak for yourself, my friend.
I'm using bluetooth, video recording, wifi, wifi calling, all cell radio features, proximity working find, light sensor as well.
I don't mms. I gmail.
So. The devs and chefs are doing a FANTASTIC job, especially with these kernels.
Just like i tell everyone in every single rom forum for the sensation. T-Mobile's Wifi calling is just useless bloatware that is a program easy as hell for, supposed amazing techs of their caliber to make and now we have to wait for official Ics due to an app that don't work stock or rooted. Everytime i use wifi calling, and yes on stock, all i get is" HUH,WHAT DID YOU SAY, I CANT HEAR YOU",. And thats why it also rarely works in roms. It's not HTC's fault T-Mobile has a shi%$ program that is useless out the box. Wouldn't be useless if it ever worked. And now we have to wait for Ics because of it.

^ Likewise I depend on wifi calling. I'll pass on the other bloatware, but this isn't an optional app for me. I'm afraid that I've had no consistent luck with the ROMs available here.
I suspect that will change once T-Mobile has released their ICS update with a working configuration and (possibly) an updated app. In the meantime, I am content to wait.
It's based on my opinion.**
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
WiFi calling is not bloatware to people who use it. I use it everyday at home. There's no way I can make or receive call without it. I also use it every time I'm overseas. For me, WiFi calling is a must. That's why I don't dare play around different roms for fear of messing up the WiFi calling feature. I can also wait for the official update with a working WiFi calling.
So the first thing I noticed is that for some reason, there is no more Voice Dialer after the ICS OTA. Bummer since I use this all the time in my car.
I called HTC and they told me that they are looking to fix this but in their original ICS, that feature was still there. That leads me to believe that the carrier (thanks T-Mobile!), for some reason, got rid of it. Maybe it was one of the issues that kept them from pushing out the OTA.
At any rate, HTC said they are working on it (I guess with the carrier) to issue a fix for it. For the time being, they suggest Vlingo.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
This was a huge fail in my mind on the update.
So I started trying out all of the various ROMs... and come to find out, the ones that have bluetooth voice dialing dont have support for WiFi Calling... those that support WiFi Calling dont even allow a Bluetooth headset to connect...
Makes me believe that there is more than meets the eye on ICS and WiFi Calling...

I called HTC and they told me that they are looking to fix this but in their original ICS, that feature was still there. That leads me to believe that the carrier (thanks T-Mobile!), for some reason, got rid of it. Maybe it was one of the issues that kept them from pushing out the OTA.
At any rate, HTC said they are working on it (I guess with the carrier) to issue a fix for it. For the time being, they suggest Vlingo.
Anyone have any other suggestions?

Already confirmed with HTC that it was taken away with the T-Mo OTA push. It's a known issue. Not sure if it's happening only on SOME devices though and you just got lucky...
Are you on TMo?

Yes, I'm on T-Mobile. People are also reporting not having face unlock, but I have that also, and it is working.

I don't have any of those problems. Bluetooth and voice dialing work just fine on mine and I use wifi calling 98% of the time.
make sure you guys get compensated from HTC or Tmobile, when you get a driving violation for physically dialing.

The new Elegancia TMobile 1.0 rom has everything working great!

Hmmm, that's really strange...especially because HTC themselves said it was a known issue......haven't asked TMob yet though. Maybe I should...
In any case I know I'm not the only one without the default Voice Dialer that worked so well under GB.
Currently using Vlingo but not as easy to use as the old Voice Dialer...*sigh*...

Hi masondoctorjt!
Do you think it's possible for you to get the Voice Dialer off of your phone and either post it (to help people like me) or somehow send it to me? I'd like to try it and see if if works on my phone.
Thanks much!
T-Mobile USA was made aware of the issue and has confirmed the T-Mobile ICS update removes BT voice dialing and they are in discussions with HTC over this issue.

I am sorry for not responding. Just finally came back to this thread today. I am now using elegencia tmous ROM and I no longer have the suck tmous ROM. Also I must be thinking if something different. I thought you meant that you press the Mic on the call screen and say the numbers you want to dial, which I had/have. But apparently you guys are talking about something else.
