I saw a post about the ability to make wifi calling with t mobile infuses, is this possible for att users, I currently do so via google voice and groove IP but I want to know if there could be a way that the phone does it with out 3rd party apps and use the wifi signal as regular service signal?

So is this going to be an option now?

"The free calling is applicable to the Android phones that have the Smart Wi-Fi app pre-installed and pre-configured for T-Mobile."
But there are a lot of things available after rooting that are app related and tmobile signed.

So I called tmo and the guy "added" this wifi calling feature to my phone.
I don't know how this magic works and I don't know how to test it because I can't find the wifi calling app, the one I copied from the G2X crashes on launch so I don't know....
OK I just called tmo and I was told the following: the nexus s supports this feature. There is no app to control ON/OFF. if they enable it on your account, then whenever you're connected to a wifi network, you're calls will go thru that feature. I don't like this because sometimes the wifi signal is so weak I can just see problems. I'll wait until there is an app for this.
Can someone verify if this true? You won't need the wifi calling app ??

Agreed..and there's no way just the apk without the lib files would work..wifi calling is only on branded handsets.

Can't believe we don't have hack to get this app to work with nexus s yet specially now that MT4G and G2 have gingerbread as well with wifi calling.

The problem is the radio interface layer, a proprietary blob supplied by samsung.
It does not support the auth calls made by the kineto libraries in order to switch to GAN. Without switching to the gan ril wifi calling is not possible.
Ginger bread is not the issue, the libraries have all been made to work, the apk works. The problem lies in the ril. Until a ril surfaces that works on the nexus s and supports gan (something kineto said is unlikely) progress is halted on wifi calling.

Right on! Good to know the actual reason.
(and I have so many words to look up in this post).
Noob question here, i would like to know if it is possible to send my cellular connection to another phone by bluetooth maybe? Let's say i have this old cdma smartphone that i like alot and i would like to use it sometimes but my line is on a new hspa sim card phone... Is it possible to establish a bluetooth connection to the new phone and use the old one to make calls. I don't know what VPN connections are but could this be used for making the link. My old phone is a windows 6.1 device and my new one is an android.

You know guys there is an app called cobra phone lynx and this app lets you connect via bluetooth to a cobra module to send your phone connection to residential phones by connecting them to this module so its possible!!

I am about to travel overseas. I'm not going for long enough to warrant getting a PASYG sim but will have near constant access to wifi. I'm with t-mo USA and have wifi calling set up and use Google voice for texting and vm. What's the easiest way to turn voice and mobile data off but keep wifi on? Best solution I could think of was to take the sim out, are there other better options?
Idk about your phone since im an evo owner but you should be able to turn on airplane mode on your phone and have wifi on at the same time. I do it quite often on my evo actually. So you will have all your carriers radios off so no charges, and still use voice for calls and texts.
Try doing it really quick and report back if u can or can't so I can try to help with another solution

Edit: ok so this is not perfect. Wifi calling is disabled when in airplane mode, which IMO is stupid. I guess they are trying to get some roaming fees if you leave the Intl wifi signal.
Going to try wifi calling with the sim out.
All but wifi. And no problem

If there is no t-mo sim card, wifi calling is also disabled. I tried with no sim and a UK PAYG sim both same result, no wifi calling.
Well that's two good options that should work but don't.
Ok I found a solution. Send me a pm and I will type you a guide and some screen shots in the afternoon tomorrow. I have to go to bed for work in the morning. So once I get off ill send you instructions on how to do it.

It's #G video call over network without data
Hi, I think you are mistaken with the Skype/Tango/G talk or whatsoever that uses data and require the other party to have these installed.
I think what the origin of this thread was asking for is a 3G video call over the network without the need to have data plan. I used to call using 3G video using my old win mobile 6 phone to my wife's Nokia Symbian phone or my Dad Sony Ericsson phone without data line but now I'm using the Galaxy Nexus, I don't have that option. If I use the Nokia phone to call 3G video, it will say number is busy.
I think we just need the dialer to support video call. Not internet video call.
ya i am also agree in india skype tango are not so popular but 3g sim vedio call is so popular because it is cheap here so google plz provide vedio call option like galaxy s2 ands galaxy s is having
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 ?

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.

I tried with my friends T-Mobile SIM on infuse (my ph is unlocked). So my infuse is on T-Mobile service. I cud make regular calls and data too works fine, but still Wifi-calling app just force closes :-(.

What? My wifi at home is as 'official' as any other network.
I got it to work on the Darky-ROMs. No point in making a new thread so here it is
DarkyRom_T-Mobile_Fix
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.

i had issues with GrooVeIP and ATT, it caused weird echos on several roms on my phone, even if i used ATT to make call, it caused the phone to be unusable, i have it on my old nexus one with no sim card, no issues, anybody else see this?
Check this out.
