What's the deal with wi-fi calling working sporadically with CM7 based ROMS? Or...am I the only one experiencing this? Maybe 1/5th of the time I'm connected to wifi will it work. It's not my router or lan (I know what I'm doing in that realm) +my wife's G2X was working the whole time she had the unmolested phone from T-Mobile. Even after I flashed hers with a 2.3.3 (two days ago) it's worked as it should.
Bump d bump.
I'm not using CM7, but it's happening to me, too. From what I've read over the last few days, this is more of a hardware issue than a ROM issue. For me my 4G often stays on while the wifi is enabled. My wife has a G2x running the same kernel and ROM as mine, and hers has no problems. It's really annoying.
You're not using a CM7 derivitive and you're having issues? Odd. I've only experienced it on CM7 based ROMs. Every 2.3.3/ota/stock based ROM connects with nary a problem.

Have you tried using one of the kangs ..there's fitsnuglys and rustys ... I pretty much use fits' kangs, he uses only certain commits in his kangs and from what I understand rustys contain all off the commits up to date... I've never really had a problem with wifi calling and I use it a lot at work...
I haven't. This is my 1st smartphone. 1st time rooting/custom rom'ing and the "kang" sounded too scarey! Might have to give it try though, i miss sixaxis.
Thanks for the tip.
I've had similar problems where the 4G icon stays on with the Wifi and wifi calling enabled along with not being able to get mms to send or receive but sms works fine with wifi calling enabled. I also had the mms problem on the rooted tweaked OTA rom.

I've had some of the same problems in the past... I've also had mms work over wifi no problem but I've flashed slow many I can't remember which one it was.. LOL.. I really have to start keeping track... IMHO my phone functions better for me when I run a custom rom than a stock .. wifi calling is a must for me because my garage gives me horrible reception and I can't be missing customers calls and I usually only have that problem when running a stock rom...

It works! Well, it worked all night and into the morning. Have never had that with any other CM7 ROM. I wonder what Fits' kang does differently. Any "gotcha's" I need to know about?

I am allowed to switch my phone to a phone that has Wi-Fi calling, since where I am living now doesn't have a cell signal. I am allowed to pick any phone I want.
I am choosing between the G2X and the HTC Sensation 4G.
For you sensation guys I have a few questions.
Wi-Fi Calling as well is very important and I would like to make sure I can use this on other roms like CM7 and any of the other roms available.
Now how long do we have to wait for new kernels for the G2X (I think its quick because of the Tegra 2 and nVidia) but I want to make sure, since I am currently only use to the Nexus S, it gets everything very quick as well as kernel updates for AOSP.
But I like the look and feel of both phones, but for me Wifi calling so I can be reached at my new location in the meantime. So do the other ROMs come with this built in, or is an app that is available for me to download and install.
Also how far along has CWM Recovery or other recoveries come along with this phone.
If you had a choice would you pick the G2X or Sensation?
I have been told reports of this phone randomly rebooting, is this a problem or has it been resolved?
It is a problem for some people, I personally haven't experienced it myself. Anyways I use wifi calling in my home all the time and it works just fine. Most roms do provide wifi calling, and if they don't, you can just install the apk
When kids are playing online games it drop calls or choppy calls.

WiFi calling works just fine on the g2x. You can't just put WiFi calling apk on a phone, there's more to it than that.
Zero reboots here, running fauxs Rom and kernel at very low voltages.
If you enjoy updating to newer kernels and roms, g2x has the upper hand at the moment.

Hi, I've been lurking for answers regarding a Wi-Fi problem that I have on ANY gingerbread ROMs that I tried and I found no solution. Hence this new thread.
My Wi-Fi will not stay awake and will turn itself off (EVEN when it's set to NEVER sleep) a couple of minutes after the screen goes off. I tried many, if not all Wi-Fi lockers and none worked. The problem is that when I'm listening to streaming radio, for example, the data will switch from Wi-Fi to 4G without any warning. Asking Tasker to let the screen on work but gee, it's a workaround that uses a lot of battery. (Oh also, I asked Tasker to let my WiFi on and it didn't work neither.
The funny thing is: I have not this problem with Froyo. Only with Gingerbread. I tried the OTA 2.3.3, the Trigger ROM (from CM7), the Cyanogen RC1, nightly 97,98,99,100,101,102 and 103 ROMs, the KANG rom... NO one worked...
HELP!!
I have a P999.
Thanks!
I hope one of our amazing devs can fix this annoying bug.

I'm guessing you are having the same problem huh?
Just because of that, I switched back to Froyo...

Just a quick question. Why does Wifi Calling not work on ICS ROMs running on the SGS4G? I understand it's not just a simple port from GB, but I was just wondering what has changed that makes Wifi Calling no longer work.
I think it has to do with the fact that ics and cm7 (also doesn't work for this) are in mtd format

Because there are proprietary things in the kernel that is stopping it from working. Plus the developers working on stuff currently dont feel it is a high priority.
Would you rather have wifi calling or a working ics kernel that allows overclock/undervolt? What about stuff like better battery life?
Ive said this many times you want or need wifi calling there is two options.
1 setup a bounty thread.
or
2 use something like grooveip and forward your cell to your google voice number when you need wifi calling.
erikmm is working on it but I think he hit a roadblock with some of the proprietary stuff samsung does to the kernel.
Also please for the love of android use the search feature. This has been discussed many times in several threads.
Rom: CM7.2. kernel: faux123-050 - baseband mar12.
My sms delivery reports gets stuck in pending on all data options. However, the reports send when using wifi calling... . Is there a quick fix to this like changing the apn setting or changing kernels?

I've never come across this before. I know that for me, WiFi Calling is the death knell for texting (SMS or otherwise). It's got me bothered because my phone is only functional due to WiFi Calling for where I live. If I come across anything I'll pass it along, but possibly doing a logcat when you're not able to have them reports send might help resolve the issue.

Thanks. I'll do a logcat. It's not that big of a deal, I'm just being anal and thought there might be a quick fix for such a small problem.
My WiFi calling works flawlessly ... did you try a bunch of different roms and kernels?

I've been running Modified ROM's on my phone ever since I got it back in Aug. of 2011. Stock just sucked (was the 2.3.3 GB Stock). I've tried just about them all. Hell's GB and ICS ROMs, Euroskank's GB and ICS ROMs, TonyP's ICS/JB ROMs, etc, etc, etc. I'm surprised my onboard flash chip is still working with all the flashing I've done over the 14+ months. Currently using Temasek's GB Build 135.1 Final. The phone for the most part works, and works well. I've tried all the kernels too ranging from Faux's, to Morfic's, to Harsh's. Morfic's ELP Kernel has been the most solid for me.
I don't use ICS ROMs because their WiFi Calling is borked beyond all recognition. I just hope and pray that IF we get an official release of ICS for our phone, it fixes the WiFi woes I've had with ICS ROMs. I'm too dependent on WiFi for my cell network connection. If only T-Mobile had a Microcell for their network. They have that repeater cell tech, but it requires a 3g/4g connection, and my house doesn't even get a 2g connection outside (although their map "claims" I am to have 2g service). It's just frustrating.
I saw an article about AT&T's Microcell back in 2010, and was hopeful the technology would catch on, but it flopped.
Ok guys, I don't even know where to begin. I'm a noob to flashing roms and such. I have a G2X and I was so frustrated by the lag and glitchiness of the phone. So i rooted my phone through superoneclick and i flashed CM 7.2. I could receive texts and send texts no problem until i flashed an ICS rom. The first one i flashed was EB bld 5.5 and i noticed that people tried to text me but i couldnt receive any. I can send texts but i cant receive them. I went through tons and tons of forums and other sites but i couldnt find a solution. Does anyone know y i cant receive texts?
Reflash? If issue consists then try other ics roms

Check your APN settings. Sometimes when I flash a new ROM my SIM card will put most of the info in but may leave out the network password it something.
You can usually get your apn settings from your service providers website. Or somebody here will provide them? Who is your cellular company?
Remember to use G2X scrubber or Nullifier before flashing a new ROM. Then flash your Gapps and reboot. Then just leave your phone alone for 10 minutes or so. Also, try calling someone. If you can't hear the call audio, its probably a baseband issue. The G2X development forums have some very great guides.

I have this exact same problem. For some reason I cannot receive sms on CM 7.2 based roms or any ICS roms. However it works when I use the MIUI 2.2.24 rom with the trinity ELP kernel by Morific. Very odd. Does anybody have any ideas I've been having this problem for a couple of months now and I'm running out of ideas. My baseband is the latest Mar 11 2012 one and i'm with Mobilicity (in Canada). Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
It's a problem with cm 7.2 based kernels. I submitted a catlog to the cm team but only a few phones are having this problem. The only thing I've found that works is flashing one of morifc's older kernels on top of cm 7 nothing I've tried works on ics roms. Also if you have wifi calling enabled it's strange but you should receive text messages.

Yeah, I was getting sick of the MIUI rom (and it was being weird) so I followed your advice and flashed Cyanogenmod 7.2 with a trinity kernel and all is well now. It is a shame that it won't work with ICS, hopefully that O2X leak will fix this issue. Also, the tmobile wifi calling app doesn't work since i'm on a different provider (Mobilicity). I was wondering if there is another app that is equivalent or if I could use the wifi calling app with Mobilicity somehow?
I don't know of any other apps that work like wifi calling and I'm pretty sure the tmobile wifi calling app only works with a tmobile network. I was hoping the cm team would have looked into this by now I submitted the ticket awhile ago and it got labeled as an apn issue which it clearly isn't. It's something in the kernel disregarding the sms notification.
