I am curious if the Wifi Calling on this device is still available if you switch ROMs to one of the AOSP or Stock OTA Roms, I have a Nexus S but I will be moving to a place for a few months and the signal sucks completely and I will need to be able to receive calls from work on my phone.
Since the Nexus S doesn't support this and the fix doesn't appear to be anytime soon, I was checking to see if this device will allow it outside of the stock ROM from T-Mobile
Yes, Wifi calling is available on other roms besides stock.

thank you so much for this reply.
I have talked to T-Mobile about the Nexus S and they were surprised that they couldn't provide Wifi Calling on it. And unlike AT&T and a few other providers, T-Mobile doesn't offer a Femtocell as a option.

It works on CM7 but has a couple issues still, and on EB Froyo it works flawless. I have been on this rom for about a week and I have to use wifi calling at my house so it is always on and I have had no problems.
Does anyone know the exact files, apks, libs, etc required to make wifi calling work?
I compared the latest EU rom and TMOUS rom and have a general idea but i'm not exactly sure which extra/different files make it functional.
I'm trying to make a MIUI rom based on the stock Tmobile for functional wifi calling.
still need some insight on this...
I would like to know as well. I also would like to add wifi calling to MIUI. But I have a T-Mobile Galaxy s2. But maybe the files are the same

Sorry guys sometime ago T-mobile changed how wifi calling is integrated into android. It used to just be a few files but not anymore. Currently no one has gotten Wifi calling working on a non T-mobile based rom since it was integrated into the framework. Once someone figures it out it will most likely apply to all phones but right now we got nothing.
There is actually an $1100 bounty to get it working on the Nexus 4 and so far devs are stumped.
Hi I was wondering if anyone knew of a stock ROM with tweaks for the cdma Q? I really need the built in WiFi+ USB tether, or a way I can make those features work?
I can use wifi tether and usb tether without any modifications on stock ROM. It's not a Verizon which block tether features.
I meant the ones built into settings.
Interestingly enough, GSM Photon Q doesn't tether phones: they can connect, but don't want to share packets. don't know why
That sucks. On the stock ROM?
probably only on the stock, didn't try with CM though
If you were on the stock ROM, its because you have to pay for it I imagine. I'm working on unlocking that.
Your carrier (Sprint probably) makes you pay for it. On Ting I can tether and hotspot without a problem (included in service).

Sounds promising, I'm using this stock ROM at the different 3G/UMTS provider... no data from 3G upstream. you can share wifi via BT etc though, which is meaningless at most.
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 on Verizon's Network .I"m on a Verizon network extender at home and everytime I've installed any AOSP ROMs (Cyonogen Mod,Paranoid Android,Carbon ,Pacman etc,) my phone goes into roaming ,so I don't have a data connection or a phone connection, in my home with any of these ROM's. Outside of the network extender, the ROM's work. Currently I"m running Touchwiz Rom Jellybeans version 19. Stock or any Touchwiz ROM's work when I"m on the network extender. I've searched for a solution and have found none. I have owned my Galaxy S3 for over a year and haven't been able to run any of these ROM's because of the network extender issues. It's been very frustrating ,can someone please help with the situation?

I have to use a network extender at home as well. It's an older version so it doesn't handle data. I've used it on both TW and AOSP Roms without a problem, so what you have should work.
On AOSP roms, do you get the two tone note when you try to call? You should only need to dial #48 to register with it and then call out.

There are two different network extender models. On the older one, there is no data connection. The newer one offers 3G as well as voice I believe. So if you're on the older model you won't have network data and will have to rely on wifi. When you dial out, if you hear 2 tones before it begins to ring, then you're operating off the extender.
As long as you're on a stable version of a ROM, it shouldn't have any significant impact. I've used several TW and AOSP roms without noticing any real difference.

Hi, thank you for responding ,I appreciate you taking the time to answer. I've checked with Verizon and I"m on the newer network extender .On stock or Touchwiz ROM"s I do get a phone connection and 3G. I also get the the two tones when I dial a number before it connects. From what was explained to me that means I"m under the network extender. When I dial # 48 on an AOSP or TW ROM, it tells me that I'm under the network extender's connection.
95% of the ROM's I've used have been stable. The others have been Cyonogen Mod nightly's . On my Droid Razor Maxx,when running and AOSP ROM, I never had these issues.

In CM under
Settings > Wireless & Networks > More > Mobile networks
Do you have the data roaming options selected?
No, I've gone into mobile networks and changed it manually, rebooted and the "R" for roaming as shown in the photos is still there. I've manually forced it into 3g only and it remains the same. No data connection

Update: Currently I am running an AOSP Rom (CM 10.2 09-19-2013) and it's working. To get it to work, I installed the last ICS OTA modem (the VRLHE) and I am now getting data at home under the network extender. No more "R" for roaming! The modem is not as strong as the Jelly Bean VRBMF1 modem, but it's working. I still can't get any AOSP roms to work on JB modems and I don't know why. I was thinking of contacting the CM team for a possible solution. I am still glad it's working even though it's on an old radio.
I had the same issue two days ago when I flashed to the latest MIUI Rom. Here's how I fixed it.
Go into settings, mobile networks, make sure subscription is set to SIM. After that open the phone, type *#*#4636#*#* make sure it's set to LTE/CDMA/AUTO
Reboot phone and all should be well.

ok, so those with verizon network extenders, are you having issues connecting? I actually am, and want to make sure its not my phone.
I thought all the data issues on AOSP/CM were fixed. While I was on vacation, my phone (running SlimRom) showed 'mobile network disconnected' and had no data, while other people running Verizon (other Galaxy phones, iPhone) had no problems at all. Tried to switch airplane on/off, reboot etc, nothing worked.
So I'm starting to think a TW based rom might give better data?

TW based roms will always provide better reception then AOSP. This is due to the fact that the radio software for the S3 is closed source, so in order to get it to work we had to backwards engineer the radio software so that it will pick up signal from the network.
