[Devs] Lets get Wifi Calling working on these custom ROMs,

I require this since i have low signal at my house and rely on the Wifi Calling app, and i'm sure i'm not alone. I'm devoting this thread to this. JBoogie, i've been told you're the man with the skills here, so if i can help in any way let me know.

Agreed! I've asked more and more, but I haven't gotten an answer - I've no signal in my dorm, where I live! And i need wifi calling

lol, i searched and the only posts that came back was the one by you asking if it worked! If i knew anything about making this work i would!

Guys none of them have it. But there was an apk put up.somewhere. you should ask jboogie3 to help you with making a zip file so that you can flash it on any rom.

Side question.. does anybody know of which SBFs contain wifi calling?

Wifi calling? Wifi can access moible network? Or do you mean VOIP?
Maybe should turn to your carrier. And ask them whether they can supply sets like femtocell.

in defy cm7 2.3.5...voip calls works..inbound/outbound..you just need to have a active SIP line to apply in the internet calling accts.
as long as you have a data/wifi active & connected your defy-its magic.
tried it myself & used a SIP acct..works great on overseas intl calls too..

I assume that everyone is talking about the Kineto UMA app that is being introduced on some of the ?Orange branded roms ?
There is a good thread here on XDA which has the Kineto android app, but it looks like it depends on other dependancies which need to be built into a custom rom.
Will be watching this thread with interest though.

In the US, T-Mobile provides WiFi Calling free for its customers. Another benefit is people can call your mobile phone number

If someone using a Froyo rom, using tmobile US service, and does not currently have Wifi calling - send me a pm.
I think I have this working, but as I'm not in the US, or using tmobile, I cannot test this.
So ya get in touch and well see what we can do.

Haha well good luck P

Skype (and other wifi calling apps) are available on the market; so why ask to 'bloat' roms with this??
Just use MarketEnabler and try a US provider if Skype is not available for you to download.

Skype is not free to call phones (only Skype-to-Skype) and people cannot call your mobile phone number!

I don't think some of you guys are catching this. Lookup T-Mobile uma. It allows you to make calls using wifi when you are out of the coverage area. It is not a separate sip acct, it uses your cell minutes.

[Q] Android or HTC Wifi Issue

Hi all,
I have searched the threads as best I can so I post this...apologies for the legnth...
It is assumed that the wifi adapter in the Sensation will connect to the strongest signal to give us all the best connection experience possible, however with the proliferation of open wifi signals now on offer in the UK (Openzone and BTFON etc) it is now causing havoc when I don't have BT as an ISP.
The problem:
Currently the priority of the Sensation's wifi radio software seems to be connecting to an open signal first. The strongest is second.
Unlike an alternative Apple product, I haven't found any settings to set a preference for remembered wireless networks and to only apply the other default rules AFTER those preferences.
The Apple product also never connects to a network without the okay from the user. The HTC/Android software connects irrespective. Finally the "forget network" option doesn't work either, as it rescans, picks it up again straight away and because it's "open" connects again.
This always happens in my home as the BTFON signal from next door's BT router is actually stronger at the front of my house that my own router signal from the back. Before anyone says "get another router or position it somewhere else", I can't without spending at least £60+ for a SKY ANYTIME+ wireless receiver (which I refuse to do).
Is there another hidden option for "stock" phones? or perhaps there is a ROM?
What I want it to do is:
1) control which discovered networks I allow my phone to connect to automatically.
2) set a flag to ignore other found wifi networks, regardless of signal strength.
I know these fly in the face of the original idea of the Sensation and HTC, which was to produce a phone that connects to any network as silently and quickly as possible. HTC's "Watch" app and service launched specifically with the Sensation wouldn't have been so great without it.
Has anyone else spotted this with BTFON signals out there or fixed it?
EtA
(Vodafone stock Sensation on 2.3.4)

I've got a stock O2 (2.3.3) Sensation and the Forget Network works with BT Openzone, which is good as I've never been able to get past the "enter your phone number" registration page with BT Openzone. Mine also doesn't automatically try to connect to open networks.
If BT wasn't such a scummy internet provider they wouldn't have their home broadband routers broadcasting as BT Openzone providers.

On stock as well and yes the phone automatically detects the network again after "forgetting" it, but does not auto connect unless I go and tell it to connect again. Not to sure why you're auto connecting after forgetting the network...

You know, this sounds like FUD to me. One post and a non-existent problem no one ever reported.
Forget network works just fine. The phone wont' connect to an open network at random.
If this is real it's got to be be user error.

More than likely just another PEBKAC error...

I'm laughing my socks off at your attempts to belittle me and my issue.
So you both think you are experts do you? How?..based on the number of posts or thanks you have received?
One post of a problem no one has heard of before is how a forum starts off.
Trying to be "clever" with acronyms is childish.
I have posted my issue to HTC and rec'd a sensible response. It is now being looked into.
But then you don't care because its just operator error.
I suppose you never knew that you couldn't input British postal codes into the 'people' app until the bug was spotted. I wonder you raised that first to HtC and then it got fixed...That's right...not you guys either. Too busy belittling members.

Wish more Vodafone users had posted their experience, as I mentioned my O2 2.3.3 only auto connects to known networks and once connected to openzone I can't get past the page asking for my phone number

As an O2 customer don't you have free Cloud membership?
I used to with my iPhone...Go to McD's and whilst sitting inside connect...I'm sure it's still foc after popping in your phone number.
I thought I could use BTOpenzone as it is offered with Vodafone, but I have to pay seperately otherwise I can't get past the screen you mention either.
I do remember though that even with Cloud coverage my phone would at least download email. It was only browsing that would require passwords etc. Not sure wy this happened really though...seemed to be offering a cherry to tempt buying the cake I suppose.
BTW ...HTC have responded again saying that they are aware there are issues with Wi-Fi connectivity, specifically with baseband (radio) 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M and software 1.45.161.1
They say they will issue "stability" fixes in the next release to vodafoneUK customers (and others UK carriers I presume) in the coming months...

Thanks for this.
Trouble is, that I don't have this application on my phone, although I confess I did at one time but that was two restores ago although it could I suppose have residual data on the SD card. I will check.
I have had a call from HTC Customer Support today as I gave my call experience a bad customer feedback score.
The issue will now be raised further for investigation the developers and they are going to inform me as to when the next update will come out...or at least that is what the guy said...I run a Helpdesk myself at work, so I realise the situation...but we'll see.
HTC have been honest and fair to me in the past so I have good expectations.
I'll report back...

BT Openzone issue
Had this problem myself. If you are on Vodafone then go to the "My Vodafone App", Click the WiFi Finder tab, press the menu key (next to the home button) and click settings. Untick "Enable BT Openzone" and your Sensation will properly "forget" BT Openzones.
Let me know if this helps.

@jengla Thank you very much! This worked perfectly. Been driving me crazy for months

Need Help with Connection to a Network

So I am with some of my friends in Door County, Wisconsin. Both have phones that fully work. One is on US Cellular, the other on T mobile. I am on ATT and have absolutely no service. I only have WiFi, but I look funny using the TextFree app since I need to dance around the cabin to get service. However, I believe I should at least be able to Roam off of the Tmobile network since my friend is using his phone quite well. I just want to be able to text my friends and family without using data. Im gonna try changing to a different modem and see if that does the trick. But I will need help if that fails. Please help. Thank you.
ALSO, my friend has an ATT iphone that connects to ATT, it dances around 1-2 bars, but still gets service. In the network settings, ATT is in the available networks, but I get an error saying its not available. Please help.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Wi Fi doesn't use data. Anyway, sounds like you might want to try a different modem. Sounds like the radio is not strong enough. Or perhaps the internal antenna was damaged.

Sorry.. anyways what I did was switch to a different modem which did help a little bit. Plus I think it takes a couple of days to register with the network if you go to a different area

[Q] T-Mobile wifi calling on Nexus 5?

I recently switched from my T-Mobile Galaxy S3 to a new Nexus 5, but sadly I didn't realize "wifi calling" was a t-mobile post-installed mod only on their branded devices; so Nexus 5 doesn't have that.
Are there any ROMs that contain the T-Mobile wi-fi calling patch? (or something to that effect, though I really appreciate the ability to connect to wifi anywhere in the world and use the phone as if I was in the US)
Thanks!

I believe from what I read that the Tmobile wifi calling app has to be included with the system as there extra files that can't be simply thrown into an APK. If i recall, it had to do with the modems. I ran a rom on my gs2 that didnt have the wifi calling and spent hours searching for it and found all that info out. Basically if the ROM doesn't come from T-Mobile and is AOSP it's not gonna have wifi calling, and it's not as simple as throwing it all in an APK.
Since the Nexus 5 didn't come with it, you can pretty well give up sadly. I'm just as upset as you are, trust me

Thats a cool work around, i've seen it done for a over a year, however, google voice is dropping SIP support soon from what I heard. There are an app in the market that does this for you. I can't remember exactly what it's called. A buddy of mine showed it to me a few months back. There was a huge notice under the app that said that google voice was dropping support for this setup soon. /rumormill.

TMobile Settings for SIP Accounts?
I noticed in the new KitKat dialer application has settings for Internet calling (SIP) accounts. I hope, in the near future, TMobile will simply publish those settings so Wifi calling will be easily accessible in the system settings (vs trying bake it into the system settings separately for 4.x and newer or that app for 2.x and below).
I know I watched this thread for over a year when I was on my Nexus4 and it never happened:

This was true with the original version of T-Mobile WiFi Calling, called UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access). T-Mobile WiFi Calling now uses IMS, which they actually released into the open-source world. Unfortunately no developer has stepped forward to take this open-source information and incorporate it into an N5 rom

This is very useful thank you. Not as awesome an answer as I was hoping but close. I'll search a bit and see what the status is there. Sadly, it doesn't look promising. It appears that code has been released for 2 years now and I haven't seen anyone bundle it into a ROM yet.

New to T-mo so I don't know if this is what you are looking for but if you go into the setting in the phone apk, there is an option for wifi calling. haven't tried it, but thought i'd put it out there.

How would you set up a sip acct to do this?

There's Internet Calling, not Wifi. Internet means using a SIP account, like Magicjack or some other VOIP service.

SMS getting mixed

Hey all,
I have this problemen that some messages are mixed up when sending them to someone else.
For example :
Message 1: How're you ? It's been a while.
Message 2: Yo bro whazzup , it's been a while ago since we last saw etother.
The receiver would get : Yo bro whazzup, it's been a while.
This is just an example, the text just get's cut everywhere and the messages could be from total different date.
Please help me, some of those messages which're mixed up may once have a bad reaction or so
I tried :
Factory reset.

It's a carrier problem. I'm on T-Mobile LTE and still get it from time to time. Aside from getting a new carrier the only way to solve this is to possibly talk to your carriers tech support and explain the issue, maybe have them reprovision your line.. Or they might be working on something like a cell tower near you.
