I'm more than likely going to a Nexus S today.
I'm curious - what ROMs are you familiar with that come "out of the box" with T-Mobile WIFI calling, or are known to have no known issues with it if installed after the fact?
Thanks so much!
None. The T-Mobile WiFi calling app requires support from T-Mobile. It can be ported by it requires a lot of work.
Maybe I'm confused then - I could have sworn at one point that it was included with CM7 - I could be completely wrong though!

I could tell lol. But yeah porting it requires doing libs and things like that. Wondering why we haven't seen WiFi calling ported over. Kind of forgot about it, I guess.

It hasn't been forgotten, it's not available because the RIL on the Nexus S doesn't support the auth calls necessary to switch to GAN. Kineto blames Google for this. No other RILs from other Samsung devices work on the Nexus S either. Until we get a RIL that supports the necessary calls to switch to GAN it's not going to happen.

There is a rather long thread in the dev section, but that's really it. After kineto passed the buck an none of the new RILs from this current Gen of Samsung devices worked it was fairly evident we weren't getting much further until a working RIL comes with an OTA (unlikely given kinetos response) or a future device has a RIL that works on the Nexus S and supports wifi calling (not looking great either).

I posted this in two other threads but both got ignored.
As soon as I updated to the 2.3.5, tethering seems to be no longer supported. The option is there, but as soon as I activate the tether, 3G goes away. I have to turn off the tether, then manually switch mobile data off and on just for my 3G to come back.
Is this their way of getting people to finally pay for it?
Yes.. one of the features of the update was removing tether if you were not paying for it. No biggie though... you have a Nexus.. just unlock it and download one of the apps off the market.

Since my phone had none of the reception issues this update was supposed to fix & reading alot of posts saying that it really didn't do much for those issues, I think I'll skip the update prompts & keep my free tethering.

Wow, Thats a bunch of Bullcrap that they removed the tether!! Oh well the Native app never worked with 4 g anyway..Just wondering, is there an app that allows us to tether in infrastructure??

yes wifi tether 3.0 pre 14 works with infrastructure i believe
Are we sure they removed tether and didn't just break it? Is it in the release notes somewhere?
Mine works fine with newest update
Mine is broken too, wifi tether works fine as always

I would initially agree, but the speakerphone update is so much better than in 2.3.4 . I use speakerphone way more frequently than tethering..
i never used the native tethering anyway

I am a little confused why Google allowed sprint to do this. Whether you you use the tether or not and regardless of how easy it is to get it back it doesn't sit well with me that Sprint is calling the shots with this phone now. One of the major appeals of this phone is the pure Google experience, which is now the partial Google experience. I wonder if this had anything to do with the delay of the OTA, maybe sprint was holding out until google let them kill the tether? Anyways, it doesn't instill a great amount of confidence in google for this phone and future nexus devices. I still like the phone and there is nothing on sprint I would rather have, I'm just a little pissed at how they tucked this into an update that was much anticipated and stripped some of our "pure googleness".
I don't understand this...i dont pay anything extra for tether, and i can still tether on stock 2.3.5. Why are some people unable?
i just flashed the new KE5 radio(found in the ns4g dev section), and im not seeing any issues. still on 2.3.4 tho.. i dont see any reasons to update to 2.3.5 especially if this is a problem. i tether wayyyy too much.

So I have a two day new Nexus S and I did the manual update last night. Now when activating the mobile hotspot the 3g or 4g icons go away and it does not have connectivity anymore.
Now, I have read conflicting info about whether this is happening just to those who did the manual update and if you did OTA it still works. Can anyone confirm this?
If that is the case, then I need to return this one and get another and just be more patient next time to get the update officially OTA. =)
Not that I am tremendously worried about the tethering/hotspot being free, but I am uneasy that doing this manually may have screwed things up in as of yet other unknown ways. Like if I do pay for hotspot/tethering someday it might still not work right, etc.
Thanks!

Did you manually update or did you wait for it to be pushed to your phone? I'm stock and wasn't rooted and I manually updated and my tethering both usb and wifi hotspots are not working.
Also I notice in the kernel version that it's longer than when I was on 2.3.4 mine says 2.6.35.7-g3cc95e3 [email protected] #1
Is that normal?

I don't have a lot of time, so my search wasn't all that great. I have CM7.1 flashed on my Inspire, and my phone info says it's a DHD. I think that's the reason my data connection is messed up. Before my root, I had H+ connection, and now all I get is H, and it doesn't send/receive data a lot. And from my understanding, DHD doesn't have 4G/LTE. So how do I brand my phone? Thanks in advance

I don't have a lot of time so my answer won't be that good. Search for inspiremod. It will fix your model name and sound.

To help you, InspireMod is attached to the first post in the AOSPX thread in development.
Also, you might want to just keep it on your SDcard and flash it immediately after flashing any roms that have been ported.
And here I thought we were done with the whole H+ thing. Haven't seen this in ages. Its purely cosmetic doesn't mean anything. Hell I can make it say 6g +++ if I wanted to take the time and edit the icons.
And your right the dhd doesn't have lte and neither does the inspire. The whole 4g is just marketing. Its more like 3.5g Max on a good day. But that doesn't sound as good for selling phones. Personally I think only lte should be 4g, but even then that's a modification of the original qualification (lte advanced)

A search would have told you what the replies already have. Also the Inspire doesnt work on LTE.
This has been covered a ton of times.

yes flashing it will make the about part of your phone read Inspire. But that is about it. Short of giving you the proper GPS and sound files
Question
I got a DHD If I flash with inspire mod, may I got 3.5g with AT&t?

Side note- Tethering... I had an iphone and about 6 months ago I got yelled at for tethering, threatening to turn off my unlimited data and put me on a tethering plan. Havnt done it since. I want to try it again... Is tethering on Android any different than on the iphone? I guess they were easily able to tell on the iphone, but is it the same case on android?? I drives me crazy I cant use my internet to the fullest extent! haha.
Thanks!

BTW, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that you can tether if you are rooted. From what I was reading it seemed that the people that were doing this were not being charged by AT&T. Although I only read a few posts and don't know the details.
I'm sure someone here can clarify further.
Ive Seen it in Stow, Akron, and Canton.
Sooo fast
Ah, can't wait for it to get around Cincinnati.
Yeah about month ago i saw in chapel hill area and tried to do few quick speed test inside a building and speeds were just ok. I think AT&T is building it first in akron and then cleveland. Bc still have to see LTE show up on phone in cleveland area.

What radio are you using with SKY ICS? I'm using Seanz ICS in SE Florida where I was getting LTE with stock GB. I'm not getting LTE with this ROM and I know it has to do with the radio. I need to flash a modem and don't know which one to flash!

in regards to tethering, they can tell. When you tether they can tell by looking at the data packets. I'm not sure about the specifics, but the type of data packets or the signature or something changes so they can tell.
That's how they could tell with the iPhones, I'm sure its the same thing regardless of which phone you have because its more of a network thing.
I tether, with my old iPhone and this phone. But I'm not a heavy user (almost never even get close to 1gb of data). Never been yelled at.
If you do get called out on it, just play dumb. Just be like oh I didn't know I was doing that. I run Ubuntu from my phone, that might be it. You know, stuff that the representative won't know how to deal with / can't deal with it.

I was afraid that was going to be the answer. maybe i'll give it a few more months before i try.
With the new ics leak, comes the new radio, which of course has received mixed reviews so far.
This I great, but my concern is with something else... caller id.
Can anyone weigh in on the issue, and whether or not its fixed with the new base? I'm speaking about the issue with name display, and the unknown caller bug.
you mean that unknown id thing? probably not and won't. You need a rogers based rom for that. or tell rogers to disable name display.
Rogers base? Many things have been interchangeable since 2.3.5, including from bases and radios. I personally believe its just something can be resolved with some framework editing or fixed from also skyrocket source, once its available.
well the info I was looking for seems to be found in a post here

u sir are an oddity, 99% or rogers skyrocket users have this problem. May I ask how often u get incoming calls?
Im with Rogers and I just flashed Sky Ics last night and caller ID works flawlessly for me too. Though I only received 2 phonecalls. I get on average 1 call a day. I mostly use text to communicate.
I average 2 calls a day.
