Need WiFi Calling apk - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really dont want to root/rom my phone but am in need of the WiFi Calling app for the S5 (Sprint). I can't wait for Sprint to get their act together for an OTA update. I assume that some kind person has this apk embedded in a rom that is up and running. Message me if my request is possible. Im willing to compensate for assistance.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the input! I was thinking that the process was as simple as taking the apk from that device - assuming that it was compatible.

I use Viber for WiFi calling. However, you can only call the people who are on Viber already. This is a good apk if you're overseas trying to call home or vice-versa.

Don't worry, I have faith (in Sprint ) that we will receive an update by Summer for WiFi calling.

I'm not holding my breath for summer. I had a CSR @ Sprint tell me that they were beginning the OTA roll out of this feature on 5/11/14. When I called back yesterday, they had no idea where that CSR got that info and negated the date suggested. One hand doesn't know what the other is doing over there.

Use Google Voice VoIP apk from Play Store or one similar to it.

[REQ] Videotron Illico

Videotron just released their 3G network in Quebec and it appears as if they'll have an Illico app that goes with their smartphones.
If anyone gets the N1 from them, PLEASE rip the app.
Thanks!
are you sure videotron are offering the N1?
Or did you mean if anyone is going to use their N1 on Videotron's network?

That also depends on how many services you have with them. It's that price if you have all 3 services, $42.50 if you have 2 services and so on.
Still waiting for someone to rip this!

I doubt they will allow access from outside their own network to use it.
If you need to access to your ilico or any other source on your system use a slingbox.
you can get one for under 300$ and listen to any tv show on the road (if you have a good data plan) their app is great as well! and no monthly fee..
P.s. if you check future shop they are way too expensive...

don`t work on a none videotron network
We have to use their ****ty network if we want to use this android app. What is this dumb company. If you have telus or bell you just load the app on the market and use it...

Line2

If you have a Sprint Galaxy Tab and would like to get the feel of making phone calls try this app from the Market "Line2" you will be able to grab a phone # from any area code in the us.
I came across another post talking about this great app, Posted By dfullerman.
There's already a post on this.
It looks like you work for them and are just trying to advertise here.
The UI sucks.

1. if u take a look, I mention that there is another post talking about this, I notice that one after I did mine and for the record I call on those that have a Sprint Tab like I do.
2. if I work for then, at least I have something to do, over 200 people came across this but only u have to come up with something negative.
3. if u dont like the UI maybe others do.

There is no contract, if you want you can just go with the month program they would send you an email for your next payment, I did the $49.00 for the 6 months.

I just bought this model number today. Is this firmware just for people that bricked their phones? I rooted mine today without issue and hope that there will be all the other goodies available like on my samsung phone. The guy at Sprint told me that there were already custom roms and recovery, but I found out he was wrong.
Can't find it anywhere on that link. I wouldn't mind having a stock unrooted restore in hand. This is all that's preventing me from rooting.

I have no affiliation with Talkatone nor Google, I just like their products because they seem to work well. Further, I do earn any money nor commissions from either. With that said:
I have turned my little tablet into a huge phone using Talkatone and a Google Voice Number. Most of the time I use a bluetooth headset, pay for the "pro" version @ $0.99/month for a little better quality, and it works great on wifi. And, it's pretty easy to setup, but if you need any help... Hope this helps.​

But how do I set up the Vonage app if my tab can't make/send/receive any calls/texts natively? Do I have to change the number at the initial setup screen to my Google Voice number?
I have Google Voice set up and can use it for texts and voicemail but that's just about it. Been wanting phone capabilities on this tab since I got it...
**EDIT: HAHA! THAT WAS IT! The sms didnt work, but I requested the code via phone call, answered on my S3, put the code in, and called my Sprint number, AND IT WORKED!! Thamk you so much, you have no ides how happy this makes me!

MagicJack also works for free phone call's. They give you a random Florida or Wisconsin number when you make a call, and no one can call you back, but for free it's nice. I think if you have a MagicJack hardware device you can use that number with the APP and have in/out calls free over wifi. It works very well with my Verizon Galaxy Nexus (unlimited data plan) on wifi tether

is the s7's bootloader gunna be locked?

does anyone know if the s7's bootloader gunna be locked on our network or not?

No... I was being sarcastic. Verizon's offerings are terrible. If they were free they might be decent, but they do NOT justify any price.

Oh im sorry i meant do you recommend any other Visual Voice Mail apps, NOT Verizon Voice Mail apps, i agree Verizon apps are terrible and a robbery, i have been using google voice but find it a bit lacking and that's why i asked if you have any other voicemail app recommendations.
P.S Verizon financial policy's may suck but we cant deny we gotta love their speeds and coverage.
Only thing I know it will be possible (most likely with triggering OEM unlock in developer settings for non Verizon phones) don't know if it will help "flash" recoveries and such stuff on the Verizon phones, how is it now if you trigger it, it won't help odin flash anything?

You can't remove the battery from the S7 either and I meant wait for the new nexus devices later this year. Supposedly Google wants to design them themselves which would make them better than prior nexus devices and since Google has moved back toward integrating sd cards into the OS with marshmallow, I'm sure android N will as well which means the next nexus devices will have sd card slots.

No it won't. The Nexus has never had an external SD, what makes you think they would suddenly integrate one?

I'm actually not sure.
I had Google Voice set up on my previous phone and restored it with Titanium Backup. When I go to the phone's voicemail settings I can select Google Voice as the voicemail provider. If I try to do the "setup" from there it gives me that same error you're getting, but it still works. Maybe try setting it up on a computer from the website? It's possible that step is unnecessary.

Isn't Google the very reason most of the manufacturers were pushed away from external SDcards in the first place?
I thought Verizon was done with carried tied phones. I though you would just buy the phone out right, or on a plan like at Best Buy, and then activate the sim. Maybe I a mistaken.

Texting app and texting via online

I had the LG v10 att version and I was able to text from the computer. Also it would send pics about 800kb which is a good size in my opinion. I switched over to the T-Mobile version to get root and. Now I'm wonder to get those features back.
No sure what APK I'm really asking for but I want to text from my computer via the att site and it'd be nice to send photos that are higher resolution.
My T-Mobile apps aren't able to do any of this anymore so I'm assuming this was an att thing.
