READ BEFORE FLASHING.
Nandroid.
POST 1- This gets it running on ALMOST any ROM on the Infuse 4G. It walks you step by step in setting up your build.prop to acknowledge the libs and flashing it. I recommend doing post 2 if your ROM already has a pre made fix.
POST 2- These are pre made to the ROM which is then just flash and go. None of that editing, required, but also have tweaks and fixes I put in myself to give you the best satisfaction.
Examples of the changes made are battery saving tweaks, forced hardware accelerated graphics if not already enabled, phone model spoofed to the T-Mo Galaxy S II in the market so you can download T-Mo apps like "My Account", carrier ID changed to T-Mobile so you get to see T-Mobile apps in market, a higher events per second value giving you ultra smooth scrolling, and 100% best quality JPEGs. Check post 2 for what ROMs are available
Note, doing post 2's method will spoof it into a T989 (SGSII) so posting on xda will leave the wrong sig unless you change it
Now to the fun part
------------------------
I got the T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling libs and apks working, tested it out and it works only IF you follow my instructions.
I have this running on Darky's 10.4 ROM on my unlocked infuse.
***ONLY FOR T-MOBILE USERS***
1) BEFORE flashing the zip. Go to /system/build.prop and open using root explorer or some similar file manager with ROOT permissions.
2) go to the very BOTTOM of the prop, and add in exactly this:
Code:
rild.libpath=/system/lib/librilswitch.so
rilswitch.vendorlibpath=/system/lib/libsec-ril.so
rilswitch.ganlibpath=/system/lib/libganril.so
rild.libargs=-d /dev/ttyS0
It'll look like this at the bottom

}
3) boot into recovery and wipe cache & dalvik just to be safe
4) flash the zip. T-MobileWiFiCall-AnyROM
5) reboot.
6) ENJOY.
Bugs:
-Changing the density causes the app to FC
-That's the only bug
Oh. Picture for proof?
Sorry I did this all on my phone. Ill fix it up later.

It'd still work, its just it won't register on the wifi calling. The app reads the sim as security. So all you essentially did was add an app. T-Mobile users get unlimited minutes over wifi.

You are invincible this is great. I have horrible signal at home and this has just made life easier for me. I almost regretted getting the infuse. Just tested and works like a charm I am using this right now. I am super excited.
I bought one of those wireless hubs you carry around with you from clearwireless for $35 a month with unlimited internet so now I can use wifi calling all day long. This has been my workaround since 3G is non existent on unlocked Tmobile Infuse editions.
if you can get 3G working on this with some type of edit that would be amazing lol I'd donate 100 on completion of that project. The stars under my name show I am an honest guy when it comes to donating to the cause. I know that the infuse hardware cant do Tmobile 3G but if there is a workaround that would be awesome.

Not invincinble- just persistent.
Also, don't forget to call T-Mobile ans tell them you have Wi-Fi calling (..somehow) and that you want the wifi unlimited minutes feature added on.
Also, I want everybody to post their ROM names so I can gather a list of confirmed and which way you did it, whether you followed post 1 or you just flashed the darky fix meant only for darky._.
As for 3G - the Galaxy S 4G can get AT&T's 3G bands but for some reason the Infuse doesn't. The radios just don't receive the one missing frequency that T-Mobile airs. No modem update can change that.
It automatically restarts when wifi picks it up. I leave it on all day whether i have wifi or not and it just kicks in when wifi is strong enough.
Currently using ZEUS v5.

Did anyone try the Wifi-Calling app on Infuse ?. Its a popular app on T-mobile, i saw it on the vibrant & works great. I extracted it from the vibrant and installed it on Infuse. It didn't work. It force closes. May be our Infuse kernal wudn't support it.Btw- i am on Infused 2.3.3.
Any help/thoughts ?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Obviously, there's a simple reason.
It's a T-Mobile app ONLY. You need T-Mobile service for it to work, because it connects to their servers with your subscriber info.
tl;dr, It won't work without T-Mobile service.
Wifi calling
so if i unlock it i can use it?
You would need a TMo voice account to use this. Better option is to use SIP with many of the free clients on Android to make wifi calls. GB even has internet calling built in.

If you need me to get it working on any other ROM, do let me know.
I know there is a mod in the other section of the Infuse form to get this to work. It is to much for me to understand but maby it will help you.

If it keeps up, go to your apn settings and create a new one with the apn internet2.voicestream.com and you should be able to bypass the tethering message. If you keep it by default, mms will fail with that apn. You should be able to set the epc apn for mms only and the other for internet. something like that.
You can also try internet3.voicestream.com also. Speeds vary for the two apn's based on my experience.

Yes, Tmobile has an additional package you must purchase to use tethering and hotspot. 15 and 10 per month, respectively.

My sisters phone slows down after awile, and she uses netflix for about an hour, she gets a warning but we are no where even close to 5gb download.
I just got the T-mobile $30 5GB "unlimited"/ 100 minute prepaid voice plan.
In a short test the built in wifi hotspot feature in the stock Gingerbread Settings tab seems to work. T-mobile does not offer any add-ons for tethering on this plan.
Is it safe to use this built in feature, or should I be looking for some other app (open garden?) to do this?
nope this is what my dad uses and works great. if you have problems with it then get an alternative wifi tether.
clockworkmod tether is still in beta but I have it on my phone and it works great. google it. the software package you install on your pc installs the apk on your phone.
Me and my wife have been using the mobile AP for over a year and we just upgraded to ginger bread and now when we use it we get a message telling us we have to upgrade our plan and then next time we try to use it the Web will not work it just sends you to Tmobile. We tried downloading pda net from the market but you still can't go to sights that require passwords. It would be nice to find a way around this.

I am having the same issue with the hotspot mode. When i go to enter the menu from settings it locks up for about a minute then crashes. I did some reading and found this was an issue with 4.0.4 for some Sony phones. What they found was that they were missing APNs after the update.
The only APN i see on my phone now is the Default PTA and I seem to remember having 2-3 APNs on 2.3.5.

Since the other thread has several posts making it clear it is to talk about Modem only....
I decided to unroot and bravely take the new update all in the name of science and discovery as well as I like to do stupid things. And well selfishly I was intrigued by the possibility of improved wifi as my device continuously connected to my work WiFi then disconnected and connected again to drain my battery or until I remembered to turn it off.
We all know about the smearing fix and apps to SD. Here is a list of their changes I have noticed. Feel free to use this as a general discussion of the update.
-The haptic feedback is softer now.
-Camera firmware has updated and so far seems to have improved image quality.
-If you had WIFI problems, mine are resolved to I am 95% positive yours will be too. <-- WiFi then proved just as troublesome.
-Smoother transition effects (the effect itself seems new to me)
- on the about device page in settings there is a secure boot status now.(there has been talk about this for this update, I didn't remember anything there before.) Screenshot included.

To late for me to flash any roms until a root patch comes to this firmware. When the patched firmware with the root access is posted later by scrosler then hopefully someone can answer that question assuming the only change in it is the addition of superuser.
I am 99% certain that if it can't be rooted then it can't be lokied until Loki is updated.

I understand it has to do with a certain chip set. This to me says no reason the router manufacturer and users need to make changes for 1 device. Samsung needs to investigate and make the fix. Hopefully it can be a software fix.
If you bought a new lawnmower that didn't cut your grass, would you blame the grass or lawnmower? Considering the grass hasn't changed and the old mower cut it just fine until it broke, I would assume you would diagnose the new mower.

Thanks for the info. Have you tried phone signal strength in an area where before the modem update your service was weak? If so any improvement?
Thanks

It will not run on it.. You will either have to change your build.prop or edit the apk. I tried running in on my dads s4 and it just says it is for the S4 active only. It wont even run on the i9295 version of the active just i537

Forgot about the build.prop.
I don't know how to specifically change that, but I'm guessing you would just need to break down the APK, modify, and repackage it?
I'm hoping to look into the APK when I can.

I guess... it would be best to have either Geohot to do it or just another dev that can just rewrite a script using the exploit he had.
Good luck finding Geohot, he made the Apk and we haven't heard from him since.

Only because other devs started attacking him claiming he was stealing other peoples work...
I just tried running it. I ran with no errors and no root. I will still look into it when I get home. Geohot did seem different when I read through the thread. I will carefully proceed so to try not to offend any other developers.
