WiFi Calling doesn't exist on any of the custom ROMs unless it's based off of a T-Mobile ROM. Did they change the way WiFi Calling works?
What does it take port it over?
All I'm looking for is a Vanilla ICS ROM (AOSP, CM9, something like that) with WiFi Calling.

The wifi calling is built into the framework its not just an apk like it was before

Does it run off of drivers or something? Can't we port it over from another device (that has WiFi calling) running AOSP?
Sorry for the noobiness.
I'm on t mobile how do I get WiFi calling and what's so good about it ?

You need to enable it in the settings:
Settings > More > WiFi Calling
It allows you to substitute your actual cell signal for WiFi. For instance, if you're in a dead zone, and you can't get any service, turn on WiFi Calling and you'll be able to make calls and receive texts!
It's an absolute necessity for me.
I used the sim card that came with the phone, and whenever I try using wifi calling, it says that my sim is not compatible and to contact tmobile to get a proper compatible sim.
Have you tried calling T-Mobile about it?

What ROM are you using? If you're not running a T-Mobile ROM (for now), you won't have this feature.
You also need to have T-Mobile.

I'm using leedroid Rom I am on t mobile is it only available on T-Mobile not available on o2? And does that mean I don't have the feature?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Leedroid doesn't support it. It's only for T-Mobile customers.
Does anyone know what from the framework is needed to port it?

Nah, I'm too lazy. On my Sensation, the feature wasn't so great. People couldn't understand what I was saying, so I figured it must still suck on this phone.
Every report of wifi calling, even in stock, said it sucked. It's built into the framework of TMOUS ROMs and there's little incentive to try and port it into others. Try Skype.

The feature is great on this device (according to my experience with it). I'm able to learn to understand whatever you have to teach me / I can help you with if you're willing to help port it.
What do you need help with?

It's not a "port". You can't just take the sense framework and tweak some configuration file or platform variable and have it work. Wifi calling is part of Sense now... No Sense, no Wifi calling, just like the Sense clock or any other widget.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Someone on the Trickdroid thread had the idea of taking the Sense framework and incorporating it into an .apk. Is that possible?
Why not just run a de-sensed Trickdroid with Nova or Apex launcher? Mostly the same experience as AOSP if you don't notice the performance hit.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
I could do the same thing with Axiom S-Less (which has WiFi calling built in and is updated) but I want the full AOSP experience.
It might be mental, but I've always had a smoother experience with full AOSP versus de-Sensed ROMs. I'm speaking from experience with my T-Mo G2 days.
So if I use WiFi calling will it still use my mins?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Yes it will. It's good for situations where you have no cell reception.

I'm seriously thinking of pre-ordering the sensation. but is there that much of performance difference between the nexus s & the sensation that i can notice in real life?
I'm talking performance only (not build quality- not screen res... only performance)
Is it worth selling the nexus s for the hrc sensation?
Um waiting to see if it has wifi calling.

What is WiFi calling? Is it a T-Mobile specific thing?
It certainly has the ability to use SIP, I have it set up and have made/received a few calls with it.

yes t-mobile app that you can use to call over wifi when you have no cell phone service at your location
WiFi calling is when you don't have a strong signal or live in the boons or in your basement that has no signal. You can connect to your wifi to make and recieve calls.

Sounds like a cool feature...I wouldn't mind it, but I use a Vodafone Suresignal at home...never needed one before I got a HTC. Reception isn't stellar at home on Vodafone, but it's only been a problem on my HTC Nexus, Desire, Desire Z, Desire HD, and now the Sensation...all HTC's have a common trait, the cell antenna is in the lower end of the phone. Holding the phone like a phone covers the antenna and lowers reception.
I couldn't get a Galaxy S to drop the network at all in my home...but then it's made of plastic, perhaps the same reason the Xperia X10 and Arc also work fine in my house
I can't win!
I would wait and see some reviews and comparisons. I have the HTC Sensation and to put it simply it's very fast with its dual core 1.2 processor.

I know HTC Sensation has potential but I dont know if its worth the upgrade
What I want to know is if it will have the choice to be able to tether? Does anyone know if the senation is capable of doing so?
IMHO, the beautiful qHD screen would be worth the upgrade alone.

In "Settings > Wireless & Networks" there is a "USB tethering" option.

ok very good thats all i wanted to know, just wanted to make sure that it was given the option to tether off of the phone!
If you are asking about the US version then I am not sure if it will have tethering option. I just hope Tmous will not take the advantage of locked bootloaders to disable tethering and fill up the device with bloatware.

running Singh ROM and no WiFi calling app.
Would love to have it.
Any link to download and flash?
Thank you!
Look around and it probably wont work that's why he doesn't include it. It is a weird known issue about 98% of the users can not get wifi calling to work on an miui rom, if it does work a reboot kills it or you have to have an old sim card.

Just wonder if this or this article will answer your question.
Also note if you are using custom ICS ROM with Sense 4.0 WiFi tethering might not work.

It should work on your device then. Never tried this ROM, but my guess that the same instructions as for stock ROM could be used.
Hi I'm running eye candy and confirm wifi tether works great with this rom. Its a matter of settings. Settings go like this., make sure and power off phone and pull battery put back in before you start to tether each time. Settings are routing fix checked, disable wake lock, channel 11, set up wext ad hoc checked, device profile generic ics, dns,8.8.8.8,lan 192.168.2024,transit power disabled. Your set.if it starts with a error power off pull battery put battery back in power on you are good to go.! Do the battery every tethering session. I hope this helps you. Works like a charm. Its a simple free app at the playstore called wifi tether. I use it daily with the eyecandy rom. Best wishes and happy tethering!

Is it possible to use a third party app like the one that my friend used on his sprint ego 4g called tether in other to tether with with his tablet?
Is there an option like this that I can use in order to bypass my T-Mobile hold on my nuts.
Cause I'm paying $120 already I don't wanna pay $10 more bucks for 5gigsin order to tether. I think I'm already paying enough.
Can anyone help me?
Is there a way to circumvent this?
Or I'm a doomed to keep paying this bastards for more internet?

I know Bruces CM10 ROM has tethering built in and it works fine.
The answer is yes. Try Wi-Fi tether from the market. There is a way to set the settings. If you get the app and it's not working, or your having trouble with the settings, P.M. me for the settings. I did have it working well with certain settings. I've found this app works in about 3out of 4 roms. Give it a try. It's simply called Wi-Fi tether. Best wishes

Hi bro sorry i yook do long to answer but ive been sick.
Well the app you sugested kind works and kind of doesnt work. Because i set the settings you suvested but when i activate the hotspot my nexus 10 doesnt find its signal so i dont think it is being broadcasted.
Can you please direct me to the rom you mentioned that has the working hotspot.
Also does anyone knows about a good jellybean rom for the sensation 4g with the working hotspot

Can anyone recommend a rom, app, or method that will allow tether over 4g on 4.2?

I think the issue is that people aren't having the same issue as you are. Native tethering doesn't work for me, but the "WiFi Tether" app does.
Thanks for responding. What you say is very peculiar. I've now tried two 4.2 ROMs and 4g tether didn't work on either (with or without WiFi tether app). Perhaps I'm using wrong an incompatible kernel or rom.
1. What rom/kernel combo are you running?

It may also be your provider - the upgrade to 4.1.2 "enforces carrier settings" on tethering. It actually makes me ponder rolling back to ICS so I can use native tethering, to be honest.

I've managed to get Wifi Tether to work on the Provision Rom for 4.1.2. No luck with 4.2.1, though.
