I know the playstore nexus 5 doenst support wifi calling with T-Mobile sim.
But my question in theory is ... if I root do and will T-Mobile Branded n5 roms work on the play edition N5 ... with WiFi calling ?
Seeing like how we can flash T-Mobile roms on att htc one or s4 and get wifi calling since its baked into the Roms?
Seeing as its unbranded phone one would assume this is already a possibility if not yet already
I havent seen any mentioning but wanted to ask before I buy it.

There is no such thing as branded or Google Play Edition Nexus 5.
There is only the one Nexus 5 like you can get from the play store.

His response is on point. There are no tmobile versions of this phone, therefore there are no tmobile roms for this phone, therefore no tmobile wifi calling is possilble.
So we can flash T-Mobile roms on the google play nexus Not the carrier branded and it still wont produce wifi calling

Lulz there are no T-Mobile roms. There are custom roms such as Cataclysm, Mahdi - ROM, and others, in addition to other AOSP based roms, but no roms from T-Mobile. The n5 you buy from T-Mobile is the same phone you buy from Google play
Your phrasing is a little abrasive, just saying.
But why is the t-mobile rep telling you it supports wifi calling? You should ask the rep. Clearly the rep is misinformed.
It is a feature on a tmo branded device. This is not a tmo branded device... The moto x is another non branded tmo device. Sadly it only works on to branded phones... Ones that have to branded Roms. I don't even think the iPhone 5/c/5s has WiFi calling either.

Let's clarify something here: there is only one version of the nexus 5 (OK 4 if you count colors, and storage space )
Whether you buy the phone on contract, off contract, from retail store, or Google play store, your getting the exact same phone. An already carrier unlocked, bare bones android experience (which in turn allows you to customize your way and not be limited by bloatware). No specific carrier software gets pre-installed.
So no specific T-Mobile software gets preinstalled. Unfortunately I don't know if there's a way to add support for what you asked, as I don't have T-Mobile or know anything about it lol.

I already knew the answer, but thanks for answering this poor guys question the way it should have been answered in the first place! It's a shame that it's not as easy as baking the WiFi calling feature into a custom ROM. Or better yet it's a shame nobody has been able to do it... yet. It would give me a legit reason to root!
On the old G2x they were able to include wifi calling on Aosp roms. So it can be done, not sure if it's worth the time to find out

OP, I think you're confused by the fact that there are no variants of the N5 like there are with most phones. Let's take the Galaxy S4, for example. There a Verizon variant, a Sprint variant, a T-Mobile variant, an AT&T variant, an international variant, and a Google Play Edition variant (and probably others).
With the N5, there is ONE (1) variant (yes, I realize there's an international version, but for the purposes of this post it's not relevant). Whether you get the phone from Google Play, Sprint, Best Buy, Amazon, or somewhere else, you're getting the exact same phone. Since there are no variants of the phone, there are also no carrier-specific roms like you would see with other phones like the GS4. There's also not a Google Play Edition N5 - it's just the Nexus 5, period, end of story. I realize that it's a difficult concept to get your head around, because I can't think of any other phone that's been made and marketed this way, but there ya go.

Basically I'm getting stationed in Korea in 2 months. I'm on Sprint currently. What are my options on getting the Nexus 5 and getting good data over there? Using international maps, TMobile seems like the only ones with good rates and decent coverage although only 3G.
Is it better to wait and get a Korean company?
Thanks for anyones time in replying.
Anyone know that can help?
If you are stationed in Korea, you will need a Korean company. T-Mobile's new free international data roaming is only valid for trips under 6 weeks.

That is one option but not the best if you like custom ROMs.
Since you are going to be stationed there just bring your device to the shop on post or a local shop if they can't do it. All that has to happen is they will register your mac address so it is allowed on whichever carrier you sign up with.

Wasn't done for the Nexus 4, probably won't be for the Nexus 5. WiFi calling has to be deeply integrated into the system.

Considering there's been a $1400 bounty to get it working on the Nexus 4 for the past year with no success, it's proven to be very difficult. Maybe one day it will happen, but don't give your hopes up.

As mentioned, even with $1,500 incentive, nobody was able to do it previously because it's just not possible without the custom bits from T-Mobile.
Damn... Well maybe one day. :/ I'm surprised T-Mobile hasn't allowed to it be added in an easier way. Such as through an app, or even taking it to a store and having someone there load it up for you.

This has been answered about 4 times this week alone. All Nexus 5's are unlocked! Your Nexus 5 is the same D820 model that the Google Play Store sell. T-Mobile has not made any modifications to it. No carrier bloatware, it's not carrier locked, no T-Mobile WiFi calling installed, etc.
It's 100% unlocked and 100% the same as the one on the Play Store! Pure Google!

The boot loader is actually locked. Unlocking it is the same as the Play Store model/version. Or if you just want root look for CF-Autoroot.

don't use chainfire to root your phone follow the sticky in general.
There is no physical/software difference between the two. The only thing special about it is that your phone is flagged as a T-Mobile device since T-Mobile knows your serial number (or some other identification number). AFAIK, this allows you to download the t-mobile voicemail app from the play store.

I believe you will still be able to utilize T-Mobile's insurance. Its not like its an At&t or Sprint specific phone then it would be understandable why T-Mobile won't cover it. T-Mobile sells the very same phone as the one on the Play Store so it shouldn't be an issue.
Note: If you do decide to buy the Nexus 5 from the Play Store then you'll be covered under a manufacturers warranty. Its not exactly the same as T-Mobile's insurance but it will cover any software and/or hardware defects (minus a cracked screen or water damage).

In the past, when I was with T-Mobile I used to always get phones off of Craigslist and I would sometimes send them to T-Mobile for a warranty exchange. As far as I know the insurance is transferable from device to device. Of course it won't be if you have an At&t branded device but if T-Mobile has the device in their lineup then I don't see why they wouldn't honor it and give you another one if you pay monthly for their insurance service.

That's correct, the insurance is attached to the line, not the phone.

Possibly. But the spec sheet for our model doesn't mention the T-Mobile compatibility we've seen so far. I wouldn't be even slightly surprised if HTC just used software/firmware to disable bands (or maybe not at all) in order to avoid making 5+ different pieces of hardware.

According to the website, yes. But it very likely has the CDMA radio hardware in there in order to save HTC the cost of manufacturing multiple devices. Much like how our locked model can connect to T-Mobile LTE, though you will find no mention of those bands being supported.
