Ok guys. I have a HUGE mystery here. I have a Nexus S...i believe it was running 2.3.3 when I bought it from best buy 2 months ago.
I have no cell coverage at the building at work in so i connected my phone to the wifi network and configured the phone to make calls over wifi via the friendly wifi calling wizard (NOT VOIP CALLING). after this point, all calls, sms, and mms were routed over the wifi connection at my work.
2 weeks ago 2.3.4 was pushed to my phone. now there is no more wifi calling...and there is not a wifi calling app (not voip calling....i am talking about UMA calling).
i have called tmobile who knows nothing about it..i have called samsung and called google...all know nothing about it and keep mentioning voip calling..which is not what im talking about.
i have unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone and installed android 2.3.3 but there is no wifi uma calling.
what gives? anyone else have this crazy issue?
Huh?
Im curious how you got the UMA wifi calling on the nexus s in the first place. It was never a feature and through out the forum people were saying is next to impossible to get wifi calling on the nexus s because of its unique firmware of what not.
This does not come with stock 2.3.3 so I am curious wherebyou got this package to install it. Being someone who is working with it the RIL fails on the auth functions. If you actually found a working package this would be quite interesting to get a hold of.

I have stock 2.2 on my G2x and want to install CM7, the only app I care about (and reason I switched to T-mobile) is wifi calling (UMA). If I adb pull /system/app/kineto.apk from the phone, install cm7, and push the apk back to the phone will it work ? Do I need to pull any libs from /system/libs/ ? I read on some thread that wifi calling after cm7 does not work, so I want to make sure before I root and mod my phone. I also downloaded the gingerbread leak version of the kineto.apk just in case the stock (2.2) one does not work... But if someone can please confirm that this process works I can root/mod this puppy PDQ.
Thanks a ton for your help.
I'm confused...is the wifi calling app even necessary? Even with the app uninstalled (or frozen), I just connect to wifi and then dial a phone number and my calls connect. So what's the purpose of this app that runs 24 hours a day?
The wifi calling (UMA) app allows you to make calls over T-mobile network by using a WIFI even if you have no signal, this is similar to the ATT femtocell calling. The app needs to be running inorder for you to make wifi only calls using T-mobile network. T-mobile supports UMA calling and no other carrier does.
CM7 comes preloaded with WiFi Calling installed. What is the issue here?
BTW, the app only turns on and activates IF turned on and WHEN wifi is enabled. If WiFi is off, so is WiFi Calling. It has been prebuilt into CM7 for over a month. It made its way into CM7 in one of the earlier builds (#13 I think).
I have the latest CM7#58 and I use WiFi Calling all the time while at work. Make sure you grab some signal before activating as it has to communicate to the cell towers to activate the app.
player911, thanks a ton I did not know that CM7 comes preloaded with wifi calling app... I will be rooting and modding my phone today! Bye Bye stock POS 2.2... Hello CM7
you can call t-mobile and ask for free wifi calling then you won't be using your minutes

Wi-Fi Calling still uses minutes with T-Mobile

Not if you call them and ask for the free wifi calling feature to be added to your phone account.

This is correct.
However, the little notification will ALWAYS say "Wi-fi calling uses plan minutes", at least for me. I verified with Tmo that I had free wi-fi calling on my account, and the rep said "it's a known issue, the notification is wrong, don't worry about it".

So I'm wondering if there's a way to speed up the handover between wifi network & cell network when walking between connections (mostly during phone calls). Searched a bunch of threads about this and it seems to be a common question, but nobody seems to have a definitive answer. Is there a way to tweak either phone settings or ROM settings (Octane v3.0) to make the handover seamless? I just hate dropping calls when moving from a wifi network to an area without and the phone switches automatically to a cell tower. Thanks in advance for you responses/help in this.

Tmobile had to implement the ims system and issue new sims for galaxy s2 users for this to happen...

I have posted to this forum information that took my a lot of googling and reading to find, regarding WiFi calling - that WiFi calling will not work on certain SIM cards, and will work on older versions.
Some did went and replaced their SIM, but not sure if they have updated their threads.
Do we now know anything new on this issue? WiFi calling is very important to me because TMobile reception in my house is week, and I loose calls a lot without it.
Currently running MIUI ROM with no WiFI calling pre-installed on this build, but used Weapon for a long time and WiFi calling did NOT work.
I will chose any ROM that has WiFi calling working.
Thanks!
Wifi Calling
I had a problem with wifi calling on my wifes mytouch 4g. I was running Virtuos Unity on it. I called t-mobile and they turned on a Wifi calling helper app on there end. Problem fixed. Calling T-mobile may fix the issue....let me know what happens

Thanks that helped me out!
No ones addressed this. When turning on WiFi and WiFi calling it kills radio and can't be fixed until a reboot. Anyone have this. Also WiFi calling on this thing is horrible, and reception. Want to like this phone but probably getting a gs 2.
I have no wifi calling issues, at all.
So if you turn off wifi calling cell does not come back?
If wifi calling is on it should turn off the radio.
That is normal for wifi calling on the newer software phones. Even my Amaze with ICS does that too.
If you also have wifi calling set to WiFi only it will not get signal back properly until it is rebooted or in range of good enough wifi signal to re-enable.
I'm not seeing this either. wifi calling works fine for me and I haven't seen any problems with the handoff when I go out of range.
What ROM are you running? I'm using stock 1.53
It gets stuck trying to reenable mobile connection and I have to reboot

That is odd. For my phone it takes a few seconds to switch from wireless calling to regular cell signal when I turn off WiFi. If you toggle airplane mode on and then off, does your radio work? If not, check to see if your phone has the latest update for it already (under settings->about->software updates, I think). If that doesn't work, I don't know what else to try. You might have a defective unit. (edit: if you haven't rooted it and modified it)
Wireless calling does suck for this phone. I kill my wireless connection when a call drops and call back under good ol' cell reception. Heck, I can't even call voicemail under WiFi calling since the pass code dials don't go through properly. Then again, this is what you're trying to resolve, getting reception after disabling WiFi, so this workaround is not yet possible...
In response to the call quality, I do notice lots of "pops and clicks" in the audio when using wi-fi calling. I have seached the forums and this seems to be a pretty common issue with this phone. I've noticed it on Skype too, which was also a reported issue. Seems there are some bugs to workout on this phone, not too worried about it as its a new phone. Im sure some roms will fix these issues, if there isnt one out there that already does.
I'm using the latest TrickDroid ROM and I've noticed that sometimes the phone does not connect to data when I leave wireless. The wireless call quality is hilariously bad.
