Hi I was looking at the new nokia lumina 925 and saw one of the fetures is it had wifi calling but I know that phone is running wp8 now wp7.8 but I was wondering is it would be possible to have wifi calling is wp7.8 because I get a bad signal where I am at and that would make my life so much easyer.

guess I didn't really think my question through I failed to mention I'm using the HTC hd2 Do you think it will work on this phone? also do you need to have your phone activated to use the service? or is it like a free call?

I get terrible signal from all carriers in my home. I want an android phone that has the ability to make calls over wifi.
So, which phone has the latest android build and the most potential for a gingerbread update?
Thanks in advance.
For the fisrt part of your question, any android that has wifi, and that can support the skype app e capable of making calls over wifi.
the latest android build at the moment (if not mistaken) is 2.2 froyo, although i think i have seen a leak of 2.3 (dont know if it was fake or not), cellphones that will support oficially are the high-end ones like galaxy s, nexus one, desire, desire hd, desire Z, all that have fast cpus and a lot of ram.
Recently,T-mobile launched an Androids Getting WiFi Calling phone,especially in carrying some features that in order to keep them connected to the important people in their lives where they work,play,life...
Right now...nokia phones have UMA..which can get you Tmo signal on wifi. Try Nokia E73...

Wifi calling on android does not do handover from gsm to wifi. Only Nokia and Blackberry does.

Is that likely to change eventually, or is it a hardware limitation?
Hi,
I recently joined up to a SIP provider and am loving the cheap calls. At the moment however, I can only use the SIP when I am connected via wifi and not while i am connected via 3G. I have searched why this is, and have come to the conclusion that t-mobile uk (which is the network i am on) have blocked voip over 3g. (i gave them a ring and they have confirmed this).
So my question essentially is, is there a way i can get around this on the nexus s? for example, t-mobile must be using some criteria to filter voip, such as port number 5060 which is the standard port used for SIP, or some other criteria which i do not know. Is is possible for me to change the settings so that I can use voip over 3g?
I have tried changing the port to a different one than 5060, but to no avail. Any ideas would be much appreciated...
Thanks,
You can do SIP over 3G on CyanogenMod7

Ahh brilliant. I keep on finding more and more reasons for switching over to CM7. I really should do it. Thanks for the quick answer.

So i am now running CyanogenMod7 and its awesome but i still cant do SIP over 3G... are there specific settings i need to set to enable it?
it could well be that t-mobile have just blocked voip over 3g (which is what they said to me when i phoned them up) but i was hoping there is a way around that...
How do we get native 3G video calling from our nexus s. My carrier is giving me (almost) free 3g video calling. And this is not like Fring/Tango. its over the UMTS network. My old nokia could do it. the Galaxy S can , So why cant the Nexus.
ROM Devs out there. PLEASE make this happen.
Thanks a Ton.

Didn't you read what the OP said? He has free/cheap 3G video calls. I do find it a real pity that you can't do 3G video calls with NS. I remember 3G video calls was one of the most hyped feature when 3G network was first introduced years ago. Many 3G phones with a FFC could make 3G video calls, it would be nice if you can make 3G video calls using NS to those 3G dumb (non-smart) phones.
True "3G video calling" isn't supported on Nexus S.... or any primarily US released phone.

i know it's not supported but as in Samsung galaxy S do, it must have a way to make it works, maybe changing ROM or something.
anyone?
BTW: the Google talk is very under quality, there are annoying "interference".

Man, people bringing old threads back.
Nexus S will do Fring/Tango just fine over '3G'.
The thread is specifically native 3G video calling. This feature is more popular/in use in Europe and Asian countries. That's why the real original Galaxy S supports this feature.
And No, the Nexus S does not. You will need to use an app like Fring/Tango/Qik/GoogleTalk to do Video Chat
my ns does 3g video calling through gtalk. tmobile disabled the 3g video calling feature so that only wifi video calling through gtalk only worked. but its really easy to re-enable the 3g video calling feature. and it works great(probably because of 6mbps+ data speeds over the tmo network in nyc).
hi all , the galaxy tab can make native 3g visio call to

Hi, a sales guy from HTC told me that native 3G video call need to be supported through hardware chip, and hardware in Iphone4 and HTC phones is not support for that although they come with front camera. The guy even told me honestly that only Samsung phone with front camera is supported in hardware level.
Not sure why Nexus S which made by Samsung is not supported.

as someone pointed out, the nexus s supports video calling through the native gtalk app. also, tango and fring support the ns. additionally, skype free video calling now supports the nexus s too.
might get an answer
even i am looking for the same thing native video calling as in INDIA its new thing and cheap too....
In India there are hardly people using Skype,tango etc...
i was going through XDA forum and i got this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109962&page=2
this might get the answer
I completely don't understand anything mentioned on this link but yes it clearly says activating SIP for ANdroid on SGS 2.
PS: I am noob if this is a solutions for samsung phone please update me about it as i have samsung Infuse 4G!
Native Video calling
Dear all,
I was trying to find the correct answer for the native video calling. I came across a really high tech thing for which we need a programmer and a 3G communication expert.
It goes like this.... There is a protocol which helps to communicate with the FFC and is based on the FRAMEWORK of the phone. In the framework you need to alot a space for 3G 324M protocol and the 3G expert will help the programmer to do so ........so that the voice call is integrated with the video in real time and with no lag!!
It's tough to do but do we have someone here who can do that in XDA DEVELOPER's?? or people are happy with the custom rom and Skype,oovoo etc??
Google talk......

It's not nonoheran fault..............google when launched gtalk app they mentioned it's a NATIVE VIDEO CALLING (through Gtalk).
he is confused.
but still not getting the answer ........ spoke to few people around the globe they say it's a tough job to do as they have to inegrate 3G 324M (video data calling)with H.263 (voice calling) in the framework.
for that we need java developer and 3G expert to work together.
hard to find above combination and even if you find they will not waste there time for us as every phone have different framework)
I am using samsung infuse 4g but thought would share my knowledge with you all so that if you people know someone like this (JAVA + 3G expert) you can get hold of him/her and get the things done!!
I got desire S and wanted to know if its possible? I mean its an expensive app, so wanted to make sure b4 I buy it.

Yes, GrooVe IP is good for free calls to US and Canada. I use it very often.
Another one app is NetTalk but i never tried it.

Hi guys , I bought my pixel a month ago and I'm getting poor call reception , so ,I'm missing most of the incoming calls as people are getting not reachable message when they try to call me..
Can someone help me with this to identify whether the problem is on my phone or my operator network issue..?
Thank you in advance..

That is true my bro
This phone gets the worst reception I've ever gotten from any phone going all the way back to the original Nokia. If I didn't have WiFi calling it'd be totally useless.
My first Pixel got significantly better reception then my replacement one, sadly.
So, everyone got the same problem..
Is Google even aware of this issue
Can it be fixed by any modem update or something?
Here's one of the treads on their support site. https://productforums.google.com There's a lot of guessing and this fancy new technology that doesn't work well with some networks could be a cause https://www.qualcomm.com/videos/qualcomm-rf360-dynamic-antenna-matching And there's talk of has something to do with Android N as some on Nexus devices that just upgraded are having problems. I'm leaning toward cheap HTC antennas.

In my case it's gotten worse bro..During the call itself, voice reception gets stopped..
Shall I get my phone replaced? It's still under warranty (11 months more)
Or every phone has the same problem?
If you're still in the timeframe, I'd just get my money back. If not then I'd try a replacement though you'd probably get a refurbished one. I use wifi calling at home and don't have any problems when I'm out and about. But I'm on Verizon in the US so your network may give you more problems. Google has admitted to microphone issues which might be your problem so if you get a replacement I'd be demanding a new phone.
