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'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.

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
I scoured the forums for a couple hours trying to see if there's anything like this out there, I couldn't find anything.
I flashed the 8/29 Cyanogenmod 10, properly cleared caches and stuff, and it's been great... except for when someone calls me, I answer and neither of us can hear anything. When I call back everything works perfectly.
I tried switched to speaker, muting and unmuting, resetting, nothing helps... the really odd thing is that if I press a key in the dialer while on the call, the person on the other end can hear the key tone. That goes both ways.
I thought maybe since a lot of people were having audio issues that were fixed by the 7/27 kernel that it might help, so I flashed that and it didn't make a difference.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do? I'm stumped here. If the outgoing calls work like normal, it shouldn't be an issue with hardware.
edit: I flashed the first OTA modem as well, didn't affect anything
EDIT - flashed to the Aug 30 experimental call build, it's working fine now. Hooray! Sorry for posting like a noob -.-
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.
Please help me with this strange issue. When I RECEIVE calls, everything is fine. When I MAKE calls, they can hear me, but I can't hear them. No audio. My audio on my phone works for everything else. I have bluetooth off and I don't use a headset. It's not a hardware issue because everything works fine when I'm on Gingerbread. When I flashed my ROM, I erased cache and did a wipe. I've re-flashed several times. I've also tried several different ROMS. I'm on Avatar now. I was on Beanstalk before. I'm seeing this issue on both ROMS. Jellybean and Kitkat, I'm seeing this issue. I hate to go back now that I've experienced then new OS. Please advise. Any ideas? Could this be a modem issue?
