SO, a long time ago, before i started flashing roms on my sensation, I could send/receive SMS over wifi no problem with the wifi app.
Now on IC Sense 4 ICS beta, wifi calling is removed because it doesn't play nice.
Anyone know of a way I can send SMS/MMS over wifi?
Yeah the wifi calling patch. It works perfectly for me, but it has to be the one for ics. If need it have it
See the following thread for more information on WiFi calling for ICS:
ICS Wifi calling
Basically, calling over wifi isn't stable and probably won't be until Tmobile releases an official WiFi calling app for ICS ROMs. In my experience, making phone calls is hit or miss but SMS over wifi works without problems. This is on Hyper NonSense ROMs using the 1.0.2 patch from that thread (non-AOSP version).
Cool, i remember that thread when it got posted, didn't know it got updated.
--Since Baad didn't put wifi calling apk in IC beta, do I need to install an .apk (anyone have latest?) and then flash the fix, or does the fix have everything I need, it didn't quite say that in the thread.
--Will test when I get a chance to play with my phone.

Just flash this via recovery and ur done http://db.tt/sxfQrsXU
Similarly, flashing the 1.0.2 zip from the thread I linked will install everything you need (including the wifi calling app). Calling over wifi is still hit or miss, but sms works fine.

Thanks to him Ive successfully been able to fix the bluetooth voice earpiece feature that was not working on the Rom in the signature.
Ive flashed my share of Froyo Roms and it seems that a lot of them have the same problem as well as some Gingerbread maybe.
The idea is to push the call/end button on your bluetooth connected earpiece to do various call related features without having to grab your phone, its all controlled via voice command.
Many people have been looking for a fix for this.. well here it is.
Directions:
Flash via CWM, reboot and you should have the feature fully functional.

Wow, this is fantastic. I was following the info posted in that AR 3.2 thread, so I'm happy to see something posted.
I'll give this a try tonight.

I'm running RCMix 5.3 and the BT voice dialer works alright for me. Do I need this fix? The one thing I'd really like from the current ROM for BT voice dialing is to have a tone to cue me when the applet is ready to listen.

I am running AR 5.1.3. Voice dial works fine from the phone but when I try to initiate it from my bluetooth headset I get a Force Close of processcom.android.voicedialer. I uninstalled voice dialer with TB and then installed the bluetooth voice dialer from this thread via CWM and I still get the force close when initiating from my bluetooth.
Any ideas on how I can fix this other than flashing a new rom?
Okay I just flashed to LeeDroid which claims to have fixed the Bluetooth Voice Dial Problem and I still get a force close when initiating it from my headset.
Anyone have any ideas please????
Wow this is cool to have. Im not having much accuracy though. Ive got a 2 year old Jawbone Prime so my bets are that its the problem. Looks cool but hasnt played nice since day one. Anyhow this does work if you got a decent headset
Did you ever figure this out?

I'm having the same problem and would really like to see this fixed. When I tap the voice dialer app on the phone, it works as it should. However, it always FC when pressing the bluetooth button. I think the settings file associated with connecting the bluetooth button to the app is the problem, but I don't know what file it is or how to make it better.

Download Cyberon Voice from the market. It does cost a couple of bucks but it makes all problem go away on every rom you need BT with. At least for me it did!
Confirmed working with Virtuous Unity 1.24.0 Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid with Vlingo
Man just what I was looking for will give it a try.....Thanks

missing voice dialer
I tried to flash it, and it didn't do anything. I'm using Virtuous Unity v1.27.0. I even tried to extract the app from the zip (which currently doesn't exist on my phone) and install that way, but it says "application not installed". Nothing happens at all when i hit the button on my bluetooth. With the stock rom, before installing VU, it would pull up the voice dialer. But i can't even install it now. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!
EDIT: Got it to install, but now it force closes when I try to use it, with or without a bluetooth headset.
awesome!!!!!
I'm running AHD 6.1 but it lacks the ability to let bluetooth headset to do voice command. but after i flashed this it worked out fine!!
and btw im using vlingo to do voice dialing, its an awesome app!!

Will this work with Gingerbread ROMs? mike1986's current DHD/Inspire4G ROM does not support voice dialing via bluetooth. Kind of a pain in the rear not having it!

The post before yours says they're running "AHD" 6.1 with this dialer and it works fine. I'm assuming this was supposed to be ARHD 6.1 which is a GB ROM

Yeah, I wasn't clear. I figured it would work since it worked on the one before, but I wasn't sure if the previous post was confirming 6.1.0 or 6.1.1. So, I'm hoping for 6.1.1 support confirmation so I don't brick this puppy.

6.1.0 was the first version of his new base (2.3.5GB based on HTC 3.06.405.1)
6.1.1 is the same base with updates/enhancements from mike1986. I can't imagine this would bork you. If you're too worried, make a backup. This isn't going to brick your phone to a point where you can't get to recovery and flash your backup

Right. That was my assumption and my plan once I got home tonight to do that assuming no-one confirmed it for me. Will flash after while and edit post with results.
I flashed this to arhd 6.1.1. It don't work. App did not appear to be installed. I tried installing the apk and it would just say application not installed.
So it appears to be a no go.

Hi all,
I've recently update Bionix's ROM from 1.0 to 1.1, and have lost the ability to do wi-fi calling. I know those guys consider it bloatware, but with the cell reception in my house it's the only way to get calls in/out.
Can anyone point me to a wi-fi install .zip that'll work with it? I tried the one on MIUI's page, but it just craps out on me.
It worked w/ 1.0, so I'm not sure what changed, and I can't post to the dev forums 'cause I just registered.
TIA,
ByTor

Did you read the options? You can install Bloater to install WiFi Calling.
Yeah, I saw that. But when I read up on bloater, it looked like a gps tool (w/r/t the G2X), and I couldn't find much other info on it than that.

Yes, Roman built it to swap out gps.conf on the G2x, but it was originally designed to install bloat, like WiFi Calling. Go to the thread, install it. When you open it, go to G2x (lotherius), then Utilities, then hit install next to Wifi Calling.
Thanks Mr. Apocalypse, and Roman. Success!
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
How can I add wifi calling to a ROM? I remember back in my G2 days it was an APK I could simply install... but now this is more baked into the ROM.
I REALLY need it and have been dealing with their tech support to reset the "iHLR" settings. I've switched out my SIM but the TM number doesn't match what I've researched works best with Wifi calling. I've done a good bit of forum searching for anything and every single result didn't have one instance of even the word "calling".
And now my favorite ROM doesn't have wifi calling :crying: lol

WiFi calling on TMobile is terrible. I'm not sure if that was fixed in the latest update. As for porting the WiFi calling feature to other ROMs, it has not been done yet since TMobile has integrated it into the framework (and it works horrible so there is no incentive).
I've never had a good experience with it either, but I need it so bad Stupid feature
It's more than an apk now, it's a couple of lib files.
Wifi in the latest release seems a lot better than the older.
Does Venom's Rom support it? It comes up when I do a "Wifi Calling" forum Search. I don't see it where it usually is, but I did de-sense it so I'm not sure if that effected it or not.
Hey thanks for reading my post. I've been rooting and installing ROMs since galaxy s2 jellybean era. Though I still need to follow guides, it's one of the most exciting things I find to make Android's greater than the iPhone. What I like best about trying a new ROM is that it's like having a brand new phone. The only thing I seem to be missing which I've acquired since I moved to MetroPCS is WiFi calling. I'm hoping to find someway to get their app to start working on a ROM that I install. I have been able to install it before and sometimes even use the app (input information to enable WiFi calling), but then if I have no service I still will not be able to make a phone call over WiFi. What about flashing a stock modem over the ROM? Would this cause a boot loop if matching Android version stock modem is used?
Please share your experience or knowledge of how something like this would be possible! Thanks
EDIT: it turns out havoc made it work I can use WiFi calling. Sweet!
