I know it is only an alpha build ICS but this thing rocks. The smoothest ROM I have installed on my g2x. Except for wi-fi calling issues. W-fi calling initiates, can make/receive call but the moment you answer call, other end can't hear and you can't hear the other end and then it crashes. I tried everything already I know under the sun. Re-installed ROM, installed and re-installed different versions of ICS gapps, dalvik wipe, and everything. Just need it at work. I work in a place where every carrier has no signal, so wi-fi calling is awesome. Anybody has same problem with me and found a solution?
I've noticed a reboot or plane mode on/off will randomly fix it. It seems kind of hit-or-miss at this point.
I have the same issue except I haven't been able to make/receive a single call successfully. Admittedly I haven't tried airplane mode or rebooting after the first fail.
I've tried debugging it a bit and there's some strange messages in GANRIL -- there's a bunch of modem commands then suddenly NO CARRIER after some unsolicited command, then the whole thing seems to fail.
There's also some error that happens in the audio lib possibly pointing to a failed hand-off, but maybe that's a red herring.
I've tried a bunch of different versions I've found searching for a solution including one I packaged myself with some experimental build props and the .so and APK files from CM7.2. No success so far.
I kind of want to start a bounty for this -- Wifi Calling is very important for me. TMO signal sucks in my apartment that it's practically unusable even with a zBoost Wi-Ex running in here. In some places like Las Vegas the signal was so bad that I ended up using a Verizon MiFi card + Wifi calling =P
ICS is so cool though that even given all that, not having it is not a total deal breaker for me, just an annoyance.
I also have problems with wifi calling on HFS v1.2. It will connect and I can answer it. However, once I answer I can't hear the other side and they can't hear me and then it appears as if the other side calls again and all I can do is ignore the call.
Yeah, I managed to get this far now -- can sometimes make calls, can receive all calls but audio does not route on received calls. Then it goes into a bad state and requires a reboot for it to work again.
It seems ICS + Wifi Calling works, there's just bugs to iron out ...

I've been running the rooted GB leak since it came out. So far the battery life is great and it is very stable.
*Edit* I should clarify that I am running 4.5.606 installed as the 2 part rooted zip, I am going to also install 4.5.607 to see if it changes anything.
I have noticed a couple of bugs so far.
I am running on GSM, the signal strength indications are 2 bars lower than they were under Froyo using Fission. The actual signal strength is the same, it is just the indication that is out.
If I turn the phone off and then on again without waiting for 20 seconds the GSM radio fails to initialise on the reboot. It tells me there is no network and asks if I want to switch to Global mode.
Sometimes the camera takes partial pictures, the first third is there the remainder is black.
Sometimes I answer a call and it is silent, no audio. It only happens from a few numbers, it always happens to the same numbers. I had the same issue on a Galaxy S and it was quite common. The entire time that I was running Froyo on the D2G I only found one other number that was a nokia mobile on the same network as mine where there would be no audio every time I called him or he called me. On this build I have had the no audio issue from a landline number, this is a first!
Vz have put a block into the firmware that prevents call diversions being made using the standard codes (ie. **62 etc) It pops up a message saying "Call forward is disabled outside the verizon wireless network"
The only issue you listed that I can confirm is the signal strength indicator for GSM. However, it was working in exactly the same fashion on stock 2.2.
I have noticed quite a few bugs.
1. Sometimes when a text message gets a certain length the keyboard stops working. You have to press home and open it again.
2. Keyboad LED sometimes doesnt come on.
There are a few others but I can't remember. I don't know what the problem is but I'm thinking of flashing back to 2.2 because it's so frustrating.
You can also try 4.5.607.

Where can I find this? and can I flash it from 606?
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?3406-Gingerbread-leak-D2G-Updated-to-4.5.607!
You need to follow the instructions here. I have been running 606 and it is excellent with just a couple of minor issues, but nothing show stopping. The biggest PITA for me at the moment is the inability to set up call diverts from my phone due to the Vz lock in 606, I am just about to install 607 to see if it changes anything.
4.5.607 is the soak test update; you can find it @ RootzWiki.
To install it, you must be on stock 2.4.330, no root, no bootstrap recovery.
There are no major changes in it. Call forwarding options are still available on VZW only.
wifi ad-hoc also not working properly!
BlueTooth Issues Anyone?
It seems I've lost the ability to connect to my phone over bluetooth serial port from my PC. Can anyone confirm this, or deny it? I've tried 2 PCs, with different BT dongles so far. I've had this problem on GB 606 and now 607. Man bluetooth is a pain. Might try SBF, reverting, but it does become tedious after a while.
(also, if it's just me, any suggestion on how to fix?)
I have flashed back to 2.4.330 and then installed the 4.5.607 update.zip and then rooted with the droid 3 script. No changes that I can see from 4.5.606.
Bluetooth audio works perfectly both ways. I can send a file from my PC to the phone using bluetooth. I can browse the device over bluetooth, but only after installing a 3rd party app. I am running Ubuntu so I can't comment on the windows bluetooth stack, but the linux one seems to perform normally.
SPP
I know BT Audio works. My concern is, did the BlueTooth Serial Port Profile and DUN go away? I used to be able to connect to my phone over BlueTooth and send AT commands to it. Now, no port, no connection.
I'm sure I didn't have DUN support on stock 2.4.330.
Not sure about the BT device which Windows fails to find drivers for, though.
No Call Audio.

Mine did the same thing every other day on GB. I couldn't hear anything and neither could other person on the line. Only way I had been able to fix this is by rebooting the phone. Got very annoying. Went back to Hexen Froyo for now...
So I'm off travelling the world and using my d2g for internet access. I probably should have tested it before I left ;-)
It turns out the USB tethering does not appear to work, I get a connection and an IP address via DHCP, I can ping the gateway on the phone and resolve DNS info if I use the gateway as the server, but I can not get any traffic to pass through the phone.
Wireless tethering won't even connect using the built in App.
I tried Opengarden and the latest beta of the wireless tether app, no joy yet.
Funnily enough the bluetooth networking connected straight away and works perfectly.
I am running linux on my laptop, I guess I will have to boot into windows to see where the issue lies.
I don't claim to know anything, and currently don't have the motivation to go back to Froyo, but SPP and DUN are listed for the Droid2Global on here:
(not allowed to post link to MotoDev specsheet for Droid2Global)
I had SPP on Froyo. Now I don't. Don't know if it's GB, or just me.

I'm curious for all you TmoUS people who have the ability to use wifi calling, if you are using it for ICS and it works could you describe your setup - rom, router, internet service, etc.
I've tried wifi calling on 3 different ICS roms and it didn't work for any of them. For my personal setup things work for about 2 or 3 minutes and then the call fails and my phone freezes for a few seconds. To call back I need to disable wifi calling, I've given up on it for now. I'm just curious to know if it might be just the app or if it could be the router or wifi signal or some combination or factors.

It is none of the above. Wifi calling on Tmo US with an ICS ROM is a known issue and will not be resolved until a developer gets an actual Tmobile US RUU to play with.
Between that and the inability to use the MyAccount app on an ICS is the whole reason I'm still on AHRD 3.6.
It is well known and documented that WiFi calling will work for a short time then cut out...and the fix by a dev is waiting on the above mentioned RUU.
I know that I've read posts that people claim to have been using wifi calling on ICS without any issues. I know its a known issue and I know the root of the problem is ICS itself, but why do some people say they use it without a problem?
My guess is people try to talk on the phone like me...as little as possible.
if someone is able to carry on a lengthy conversation without issues, I'm in the same boat as you...I'd like to know too.
Sorry...I didn't know you were aware of the apparent issues...
I have Wifi Calling partially working on my T-Mobile/HTC G2 running Andromadus Alpha13 (CyanogenMod 9 based).
I haven't figured out all the specific build.props entries that it needs to work, except I know that some update.zips with a minimal set don't work. I have one that pretty much replaces the build.props with one that spoofs TMO build data as well as other stuff and that this build.prop file works.
In addition to needing the .so files that are provided in all the update.zips I've found, and the Wifi Calling APK, I've read that GanOptimizer.apk is needed too and added that to mine.
I've found I can unreliably make outgoing calls. The first boot it did not work, the second boot I was able to make a call every other attempt or so. The audio quality seemed good too.
I can receive every single incoming call but they won't route audio wise and will drop. Then the app gets into a bad state and can't make outgoing calls either. Rebooting fixes that.
I haven't finished figuring out the bugs. The bottom line is it seems that CM9 *does* support Wifi Calling and it can work with some libraries and APKs added, however there are bugs that need to be figured out and fixed.
So from what it sounds like if I switch to Revolutinoary HD, then I won't get wi-fi calling, but since I'm running CM7, I get wi-fi calling but in exchange my HD camera doesn't work. We really just have to wait for updates now don't we?
Hey I actually just got HD Revolution installed, made a call on wi-fi for 15 minutes or so and it worked just fine.
Im running ARHD ICS and wifi calling works perfectly for me.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
That's kind of the point of my post, if it works for you I wanted to know what your exact setup is. I started with ICS on ARHD and wifi calling still only worked a couple minutes before cutting out.

+1. Same boat.
Well there's not much to tell really. I just updated my firmware as I was running CM7 to ICS and installed AR HD ICS 6.5.1. Other than that I guess I run NOVA launcher and that's really it
Hello all,
I have tried a couple different roms between stock, trickdroid, unknown's and seem to have problems with wifi calling and was wondering if it was just me.
Basically I did not root the phone up untill recently I was running stock software and everything was good until getting the newest t-mobile update.
Since then and even after rooting with custom tmo rom I have issues with the following:
calls not ringing the phone when has been sleep for a while
wifi seeming to disconnect while on a call haven't seen it do it not on a call. (if wifi calling is off I don't have this issue)
call audio cuts out randomly.
I have so far put wifi to never go off with screen and put on best wifi performance.
That has seemed to help with the audio cutting out has gone away and with the connection drop during calls does not seem to happen as much.
with not getting calls it seems to not happen as much more so setting a different governer helped that not so much the rom.
Anyone else have these issues or noticed similar problems.
Hey
Does anyone experience problems of phone having full signal and then dropping it.
The problem I'm experiencing is frequent dropout during calls and being unable to establish them afterwards.
I can send texts and use the internet one minute and the next the phone doesn't work and drops my calls as well as doesn't accept them.
I tried swapping SIMs, rebooting, flight mode, you name it. The phone starts working again after about five minutes.
Here is the error:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e6_D3RM6luCK_LWDQSmOq-gJmmxjQOd9/view?usp=sharing
I would really appreciate some help. I highly suspect that this started happening with one of the latest updates.
I'm on a vanilla 12.0.3 Global rom.
Cheers

Yup. I have it pinpointed to a software problem as the phone worked just fine until a couple of updates ago. I can't however work out what could cause it.
I'm currently trying toggling VoLTE and changing APN settings (APN had wrong settings but still worked). Maybe the combination of both could cause problem.
I have also found out that SMS and data connection works fine all the time. It's just the calling function that causes the problem. I can listen to Spotify all day and it will work but as soon as someone tries to call me the signal will drop and everything stops. When I call the same thing happens. The bars just drop to 0 and playback stops. It resumes right after and works fine as long as I don't try to call. If I do the same thing happens.
The issue resolves itself after 5-30 minutes or so and then everything works totally fine.
So yeah if I had a rooted phone I would definitely contribute this to faulty rom or a rogue app. But I don't have one so it should work fine.
I've managed to capture it on video (sorry for the shaky camera but it was hard to film using one hand):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxusuCwsiBc&t=2s
Reboots, flight mode, swapping SIM cards (using a brand new one), using a SIM in slot 1 or slot 2, heck both slots, VoLTE on or off... I have literally tried everything. Nothing changes. Placing the same card in my other phone is fine. The problem happens everywhere and not only in one place so it's not reception. Also it doesn't matter if I'm moving or not so it's not switching between towers.
Same prob
I have the same prob, and I also tried every thing even flashing lineage didn't help, did u manage to find solution????

Sort off. I had to send it to a service center and they've returned my money as it was deemed irreparable.
