Just a quick question. Why does Wifi Calling not work on ICS ROMs running on the SGS4G? I understand it's not just a simple port from GB, but I was just wondering what has changed that makes Wifi Calling no longer work.
I think it has to do with the fact that ics and cm7 (also doesn't work for this) are in mtd format

Because there are proprietary things in the kernel that is stopping it from working. Plus the developers working on stuff currently dont feel it is a high priority.
Would you rather have wifi calling or a working ics kernel that allows overclock/undervolt? What about stuff like better battery life?
Ive said this many times you want or need wifi calling there is two options.
1 setup a bounty thread.
or
2 use something like grooveip and forward your cell to your google voice number when you need wifi calling.
erikmm is working on it but I think he hit a roadblock with some of the proprietary stuff samsung does to the kernel.
Also please for the love of android use the search feature. This has been discussed many times in several threads.

What's the deal with wi-fi calling working sporadically with CM7 based ROMS? Or...am I the only one experiencing this? Maybe 1/5th of the time I'm connected to wifi will it work. It's not my router or lan (I know what I'm doing in that realm) +my wife's G2X was working the whole time she had the unmolested phone from T-Mobile. Even after I flashed hers with a 2.3.3 (two days ago) it's worked as it should.
Bump d bump.
I'm not using CM7, but it's happening to me, too. From what I've read over the last few days, this is more of a hardware issue than a ROM issue. For me my 4G often stays on while the wifi is enabled. My wife has a G2x running the same kernel and ROM as mine, and hers has no problems. It's really annoying.
You're not using a CM7 derivitive and you're having issues? Odd. I've only experienced it on CM7 based ROMs. Every 2.3.3/ota/stock based ROM connects with nary a problem.

Have you tried using one of the kangs ..there's fitsnuglys and rustys ... I pretty much use fits' kangs, he uses only certain commits in his kangs and from what I understand rustys contain all off the commits up to date... I've never really had a problem with wifi calling and I use it a lot at work...
I haven't. This is my 1st smartphone. 1st time rooting/custom rom'ing and the "kang" sounded too scarey! Might have to give it try though, i miss sixaxis.
Thanks for the tip.
I've had similar problems where the 4G icon stays on with the Wifi and wifi calling enabled along with not being able to get mms to send or receive but sms works fine with wifi calling enabled. I also had the mms problem on the rooted tweaked OTA rom.

I've had some of the same problems in the past... I've also had mms work over wifi no problem but I've flashed slow many I can't remember which one it was.. LOL.. I really have to start keeping track... IMHO my phone functions better for me when I run a custom rom than a stock .. wifi calling is a must for me because my garage gives me horrible reception and I can't be missing customers calls and I usually only have that problem when running a stock rom...

It works! Well, it worked all night and into the morning. Have never had that with any other CM7 ROM. I wonder what Fits' kang does differently. Any "gotcha's" I need to know about?
Hello,
I have a Sensation 4G and having flashed many different ICS Based ROMs (CoreDroid, Android Revolution HD, RCMix etc) and it seems that the Wifi Calling does not work due to the fact the app is not compatible with ICS. Now that the first HTC Device running ICS has been released (THE ONE S) I assume this has the updated wifi calling app that would work on the Sensation ICS Roms. I have been trying to get the Rom so I can extract the Wifi Calling App but so far no luck. Anyone think this is worth a shot?
Trying to find a way to get Wifi Calling working on our Sensation with ICS!
Thanks Devs you are a talented bunch!
Any ICS rom I try that includes wifi calling, it works fine.

Well considering the One S on T-Mobile does NOT support WiFi calling yet, I'd say no, its not worth a shot. The app is not present on the T-Mobile software currently running on the One S.
Remember WiFi calling is from tmob not HTC and they have not updated it yet so just wait for a bit but yeah if we want WiFi calling that's were we will get it from

The T-Mobile branded HTC One S does have Wifi Calling. Out of the box. The difference is, in my understanding, that it is now baked into the ROM. It is no longer a separate app.
The ZDNet review mentions using it on the device, for example (sorry, not allowed to post links), google it, it's from April 18.
I've used it...the software I saw did NOT have support YET (at least not on the demo/review unit I saw). I know it definitely is going to support it though, especially with the eventual launch of T-Mobile's gen 2 WiFi calling. As for the ZDnet article I can't comment, as I haven't read, and don't plan to read it, however, I will say that I saw the unit personally before April 18, so maybe software has updated in anticipation of tomorrow's launch.
Either way the best bet for pulling the updated libs and app is the newly leaked Amaze 4G ICS build here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615164
Thank you so much Behold_this, your a genius! I'm going to see if I can find the Wifi Calling libs and modules and app and report back with any luck.
As of my testing, The ICS roms with sense 3.6 for the sensation 4g has had the Wifi Calling problem where it crashes when you make / receive a phone call. The wifi calling app works for SMS and MMS messages fine though. Just not phone calls.
The updated version will be better compatible with ICS.
Just remember to deodex the Rom before you pull the app
Thanks again for the advice. I have not been able to successfully figure out which apps / libs need to be pulled and deodexed. Still promising though
So i know our phone is one of the only 3 phones on veriozn that can do surf and talk on 3g .
My question is this : Why is it that not a single jelly bean rom has that feature for it, ( I only tried two ) then i looked in pages of thread using the search feature to find out why, or even in the OP. The only thing I see is couple of people mentioning it, thats all.
Is it RIL related ?
Thanks in advance .
The JellyWiz based roms don't have SVDO yet because they are based on non-verizon roms.
Not sure about the AOSP based JB roms (CM10, AOKP, etc). My blind guess is that it's RIL related.
If you're interested, I'm sure the devs could use another set of eyes and ideas. I remember a call volume issue on the fascinate was solved by the work of someone who didn't start out as a kernel dev, but became one by learning how to solve a problem he thought was important to solve.

OK, I know I've asked this before, but NO ONE will give me a clear answer!
I am using the second i727 JB leak and want native tethering. SQLITE does not work and neither does ULTRACFG. I read and get different answers on this. I *KNOW* it can be done.
PLEASE dont tell me to use FoxFi or Embryo. No disrespect, I am PERFECTLY happy with using the leak and do not want anything else.
What do I need to do to get this working? If other JB roms can enable wifi tethering, Why cant I enable it in the leak?
Thanks!
I don't believe native wifi tethering even works on Mohans 6.x ROMs, reason why I'm still on his 5.x rom, for wifi tethering, anybody?

Tethering definitely works on 6.x

I'm using native tethering since EMBRYO 6.0 came out. No problems with it. How can it be more clear than this?
Yup
That is the very *first* Mod I do, as it is *required* for me ..and it should work flawlessly and reliably...
To answer OP's question, if you do not want to do the Mod yourself in the leak (it is little bit involved, if you need to do it cleanly), just pay for it dude and it will work fine that way too..
I recently upgraded my rooted p509 running 2.2.2 Froyo to cm-10.1-20130604-EXPERIMENTAL-p500-gapps.zip, and then cm-10-20130108-UNOFFICIAL-p509.zip, both CM 10.1 builds (using the oldbbfix_signed.zip patch) and noticed that the wireless tethering wasn't working on either.
I was wondering if f it was an incompatibility with CM 10.1, or if using the old baseband on the newer roms might be the reason for the loss of wifi tethering? What is the advantage to flashing a newer baseband on p509?
I've looked around and seen that a few people say the newer baseband is faster and drains less battery, but I can't seem to find anything on whether or not it affects wifi tethering functionality, as this was one of my favorite features.
If anyone has been able to get wifi tethering working on CM 10.1 with a p509, I would love to hear how.
Thanks in advance!

Sweet, thanks for the heads up. Gonna reflash the nightly 10.1 and see if it works. Searching the google play store on my phone shows that there are 3rd party apps for tethering, and also some apps for rooted androids to 'fix' tethering. Do you have one that you prefer and find to work well? Thanks in advance.
Try Easy Wifi Tethering or Wifi tether for root users

Nice, tried both and they both worked. Does native Wifi Tethering just not work for CM 10.1? Also been having problems with GPS and bluetooth, but so far I can't find any reported bugs about those not working... I've read around that GPS errors can be related to the older baseband, and bluetooth / tethering are driver / rom related... is that true?
Sorry for all the questions, thanks for the tether apps though, really excited about 10.1. Thanks in advance!
True. I've flashed a few versions of this for tests, but as of now using ICS as my daily rom.
