Wifi-Calling on Infuse

Did anyone try the Wifi-Calling app on Infuse ?. Its a popular app on T-mobile, i saw it on the vibrant & works great. I extracted it from the vibrant and installed it on Infuse. It didn't work. It force closes. May be our Infuse kernal wudn't support it.Btw- i am on Infused 2.3.3.
Any help/thoughts ?

Obviously, there's a simple reason.
It's a T-Mobile app ONLY. You need T-Mobile service for it to work, because it connects to their servers with your subscriber info.
tl;dr, It won't work without T-Mobile service.

Wifi calling
so if i unlock it i can use it?

You would need a TMo voice account to use this. Better option is to use SIP with many of the free clients on Android to make wifi calls. GB even has internet calling built in.

What? My wifi at home is as 'official' as any other network.

I got it to work on the Darky-ROMs. No point in making a new thread so here it is
DarkyRom_T-Mobile_Fix
If you need me to get it working on any other ROM, do let me know.

I know there is a mod in the other section of the Infuse form to get this to work. It is to much for me to understand but maby it will help you.

Unable to get 4g back after using Phone App.

I selected the (CDMA auto PRL) for 3g only then didn't like it so i wanted to switch back but it would not let me. so now i'm stuck on 3g selected (CDMA auto PRL) every time I try to switch the setting to something else it just reverts back. Did anyone else have this issue? Please is their a fix? I need help to get the 4g back on my phone. (Galaxy S3 Verizon, rooted)

I had to reset the phone and install a different rom to make mine work. Hopefully that helps.

I will try not to do that then when I get my s3.
Hope you get your 4G back and try a hard reset to fix it.

I stopped using that app due to it happening twice. The last time it happened I had to unroot and reprogram the phone

I had this issue and flashed a stock rooted Rom then used airplane mode and it came back. I highly advise against using that app

The same thing happened on my non-rooted Verizon S3 after using Phone Info app. Verizon tech said my phone was defective. When I went into Best Buy, they started switching my phone to a new S3 and it still did it...found it was the sim card. After I got a new one, it's been working ever since.

I have posted the fix in about 4 other threads...you need to reprovision your device with the dialer code

This wipes data so have a nandroid ready.

For the millionth time avoid the beans rom and the jellybomb theme.

I don't think that phone info app has been updated in years. Was never meant for new ultra high end phones. And not to sound rude but those menus were never meant for us to play with.

That menu is how I ****in' ripped off VZW and their tethering app for the longest time with my old X2 before I got pissed off at it's random disconnects and just started using wifi tether for root users.
Ahhh.. the memories. Good times.

idk if this is the same but i used the phone info app on my fascinate and changed it and couldnt get 3g so i went to mobile networks under wireless and networks
in settings and clicked data enabled

I haven't had any problems with the phone info app! Use it daily and it's never gotten stuck on 3g.

Does this Re-provision code work with 4.1.1, I've been reading that it only works with ICS builds? I can't get 4G lte ever since rooting my phone and I've tried every thing but this. I don't want to try it though unless I know for sure that it works with jelly bean.
My Build:
Clean Rom 5.5.1
Leankernel vzw tw jb 1.2.1 (imoseyon)
Baseband I535VRBLK3
AND...... I've flashed
VRBLK3.rpm.zip
VRLK3.modem.zip
The "phone info" app is stuck on CDMA auto (PRL)
APN is set to LTE - verizon internet.

I'm on CleanRom 5.5.1 and I use Phone Info app to switch from 4g to 3g, but to go back to 4g I always have to go into System Settings -> Wireless Network -> Mobile Networks and switch it from there. Same with every JB Touchwiz ROM I've tried.

still not working
I got it changed in APN setting to "LTE - verizon internet", the only other option is "EHRPD - verizon internet", I also have global roaming set to "always allows on trips". However ever time I go back to the phone info app it resets to "CDMA auto PRL". Am I missing something?

Id say delete the phone info app or wait until it's updated to be compatible with jellybean. 3g is almost then same as lte anyways at least with my phone I almost always have a strong lte signal. The s4 chip in the gs3 was designed to be a power saver on lte compared to older chips

Ok, so if I delete the app is my phone still stuck in 3g mode somewhere in else in the phone then? I guess what I mean is does deleting app force the phone to run off the APN settings? And if this still doesn't work can I use the re-provision code ( *2767*3855#) that I saw earlier in the thread? Finally is there a way to simply check if my SIM card is screwed?

Turning a Infuse into only a Music Player/Camera?

I was thinking about purchasing a Samsung Galaxy Music Player 5.0 for my mom but for the price/specs I notice a used Infuse is a better deal. I was thinking of just buying a used Infuse off ebay and turning it into just a Music Player/Camera. Is there way to make the phone work with out a sim card? and without it displaying no sim card?

Yes u can use it wothout the simcard but will show a sign in the status bar that there in no simcard.

You will have no problems...I do it all the time, the HTC vivid is my main phone so i rarely have my sim in my infuse...market works, YouTube works, browser works...everything works as long as you have WiFi...if you don't have WiFi then obviously things that require internet will not work

I gave my daughter my hd2 when I left t-mo. I put android on it (basically the only way that phone was usable) and she uses it for games and YouTube just fine. I even found an app that was free that gave her a phone number and a way to send and receive texts with as long as she's on wifi. Next time I'm playing around I'm going to see if I can use that number to sign her up for a voip service.
Android is a wonderful thing!

You can use Google Voice in conjunction with app such as Talkatone, get a number from Google and make/receive free calls and text over WiFi.
I use this setup with my N7 and it works great.....no data plan or phone service required...and even better, these are free apps!!!

Also set the phone to airplane mode. Then toggle on wifi.
Airplane mode may stop it from searching for phone radio signal and conserve battery. I don't know if not having a sim card in will already do that.

Airplane mode on her phone is constant.

New to S3. Seemingly frozen. Why does every app I install take "forever" to launch?

New to S3. Seemingly frozen. Why does every app I install take "forever" to launch?
Just got my s3 sent to me from Verizon, replacing my nexus. Why does every app that I install, from the play store or side loaded, take about twenty seconds to start up? Is it because I don't have an SD card installed? I remember my s2 had a delay in unlocking when there was an SD card installed. When I touch the app to launch it, the phone is seemingly frozen for about twenty seconds, then the app launches and the screen dims. Any input on this? I don't have an SD card atm to install and test, unfortunately. Thank you!

Not sure what's going on, but screen dimming is probably just the display timeout value starting to take effect while you're waiting for the app to initialize. Some apps definitely take awhile to startup, but most are ready reasonably quickly on my phone.
Have you tried disabling Settings->Power Saving as an option?
- ooofest

My screen timeout is set to 30sec. By the time the app launches, the screen is dimming. I've tried clearing data for tw launcher, every possible option is disabled. I'll even make a darn video and YouTube it.

My efforts were wasted and I appreciate your time, fellow community members. The phone apparently prefers to use mobile data...I say this because I didn't have the sim card in cause I'm using my nexus to communicate. But I was on wifi on the s3. I put the sim card in and voila! No more of the apps hanging upon launch. Which I find odd and troubling.

Probably not the phone but the apps preferring data connection. I run my test Rezound without sim but haven't seen this problem. Haven't tried it on S3.

Just confirmed this. My apps take forever to load using wi-fi without a sim card.
Edit: Apps that don't need data open up with the same speed. Its just apps that need a data connection for some reason.

This is weird, I have two G3's & I use the 2nd one with no sim all the time.
I see no difference in app opening speed whatever when running on WiFi only with no sim installed.

[Q] Remove Cell Radio and Services on GS3 (Wi-Fi only)

Is there a way to remove cell radio and telephony services from a GS3, making it a Wi-Fi only device.
I flashed jelly bellies any-phone Wi-Fi only zip, it works on a Fascinate but not on a GS3
And I know that airplane mode works, but to me it's not good enough.

Just use Phone Info from the play store and turn off the radio. Don't see why airplane mode isn't sufficient. Does the same thing.

Why exactly are you trying to have a WiFi device only that Airplane mode is not good enough?

Telephony services are running in the background. I don't want any traces that the device is a phone, I don't need a second phone. I'm also peaky, I don't want to see the airplane mode icon constantly on status bar.

I've wondered about the same thing. I thought breaking the imei would be a good place to start. There's an easy to access internal antenna I was also considering disconnecting as well to try to prevent the devices communication with the mother station..
my tapatalk signature sucks more than yours.

Never really thought about it myself but i would start by downloading the rom that you wanted to flash to the device and start removing the ril files and any verizon apps. Also wtihout the sim card I'm pretty sure the phone isnt really connecting to the network to begin with. I have a spare s3 laying around so I'll try to see what i can figure out for you

Like I said, I went to the thread link, listed below and flashed this on a Galaxy S "Fascinate" it was successful. The flash removed all the telephony services.
This zip should theoretically work on any phone. But I think this doesn't work on the GS3 maybe do to the naming that Samsung uses on the system apks.
