Hi,
I installed Tytung's ICS v. 1.4 on my Hd2 yesterday. It is a great work. Question is whether the Hd2 with Ice Cream Sandwhch can do T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling? TyTung has a Wi-Fi calling download but it seems to be designed for Ginger Bread.

I haven't had any problems using the GB Wifi Calling addon to Tytung ICS or MIUI-AU ICS. =) flash away and enjoy!
Good Advice, thanks.
Flash ... in the pan
Hi,
I tried flashing that radio. I think I did it right. Wiped the Dalvik cache, etc. Wifi calling won't work. Here's the error message: "Error: 'Connection Error': Wi-Fi Calling Android Application." Are you familiar with the error? At times, the phone says I need to register with Tmobile. Any ideas?

Do you have a newer sim card? I know the older sim cards are not compatible with wifi calling, at least not on the hd2.
Thank you, but I don‘t know if it is the newer type. How do I tell? The card came with the phone in April 2010. If I buy a new card, do I have to reinstall everything? Sorry, I am very new at this. I am pretty sure that I don't have a ext SD area, and the ROM is NAND.

I would suggest calling Tmo, just tell them that you need a new sim card as your phone keeps dropping from the network. They should send you one for free.
Thanks
For some reason, I was thinking that the issue was [possibly] the SD card, not the sim card. Now that I think about it, maybe the problem is that I went through Family Mobile service. It's the T-Mobile network, but maybe you can't do wi-fi if your Sim came through T-Mobile's Family Mobile offer.

That shouldn't be an issue, as long as you are on Tmo service then you should have that option available. If you had a Sensation then it would be working for you, you just need to get a new sim and try again.
TMO Advice
First of all, I really appreciate your advice. I went to a TMO store at lunch and had them look at the sim card. They said it is the new type. They told me, however, that I need to have TMO technical support to add wi-fi calling to the plan. The representative said it is a no cost addition, but you have to go through the process. I hope to get that done tonight. He said Walmart could do it, but advised that it is best to call TMO. I hope that work. It would make my phone much more of a asset.
Ndmand
I didn't have to have to do anything to my phone plan to add wifi calling. What he is probably referring to is FREE wifi calling where it doesn't take the minutes out of your bucket. 2010 is definitely too old of a sim card. It probably would work fine with other phones, but for the HD2 you need the newest sim card. Read this thread, it is where I learned about the sim card thing.

You are correct about it being added to your plan by the way, I assumed you had done that already, sorry. Just call Tmo, if they don't know what you are talking about call back and speak with someone else. They should be able to set you up.
How do we know if our plan includes the wifi calling feature that does not use our calls against our minutes or if it is using our minutes even when on wifi

T-Mobile actually does not do that type of wifi calling anymore, once they made that feature free they started counting it against your minutes. The purpose of wifi calling now is more to help with low signal areas.

I'm running Nexus HD2-ICS-CM9-v1.6 and I flashed Tytung's wifi calling for GB addon, but wifi calling doesn't show up as an app like it did running GB, am I missing something? Worked fine on GB. -Thanks
Doesn't Work with Wal-Mart T-Mobile
Thanks,
My phone would show the wi-fi calling interface, but it still would not work. I am convinced that part of my problem, probably the only problem, is that I am using the Wal-Mart T-Mobile. Wal-Mart's offer is $45 a month with unlimited calling, texting and Internet, but high speed Internet is limited to the first 250 megabytes. Well, after talking to them, I don't think their system is set to do wi-fi calling. I plan to stay cheap and do without the wi-fi calling although it would benefit me greatly.

Why don't you try it on a Gingerbread ROM first just to see if you can get it working there? I may try it on ICS next time I plan to update my ROM (in case it screws it up).
Hello,
I couldnt post under the WIFI Calling http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038784
Or I would have.
This was the closest thread I could find.
I am using ROM: NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA_V2.7.zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860
Baseband ver: 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14
Ok my issue was:
I was on an earlier version of android (I believe it was 4.0.1?) I flashed WIFI calling then restarted. When Android started up said Android is updating. As soon as I would activate WIFI phone would freeze. So I then updated to what is above.
Now when I flashed WIFI calling to new ICS 4.0.4 the phone lost Baseband "Raido" but WIFI would work lol. WIFI calling app would not start.
So I reinstalled ICS rom, phone back to normal. Basband back.
So if anyone has same issue that fixed mine. Would like to get it working if anyone could help me though
I work overseas and would like to receive calls using WiFi Calling. I'm looking for a stable ICS or later ROM that I can flash on my old Glacier. My internet bandwidth is also very limited so it's taking me forever to scan forums and downloading ROMs just to find out whether or not they have the feature.
Can someone please let me know which ROMs have a working T-Mobile WiFi calling feature?

You don't understand my question. I did not ask for a VOIP app. I asked for a ROM that supports the T-Mobile WiFi calling feature that allows me to make and receive calls with my T-Mobile number.

There is a flashable zip for ICS WiFi Calling. It's linked in Synthetic.Nightmare's aospx thread. It was always pretty buggy. You'd be better off with Gingerbread.
Yeah I tried synthetic nightmares aospx with WiFi calling and I guess my MyTouch 4G didn't mesh well with it. Doesn't mean it doesn’t work well with others but for me it didn't work all that well. Synthetic nightmare put a lot of hard work into the ROM.
The best option I can give you is do the latest CM 7.2 stable I believe and get dsrkside kernel. Best performance and battery life and WiFi calling is flawless on it.
CM 7.2
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=glacier&type=stable
Don't forget to download the proper gapps for cm7.2
Darkside kernel

Thanks, but the kernal links are two years old and dead. Will the new 3.x kernals work?

You surely didn't look very hard. Always check toward the end of the thread for updated links.

Don't use ICS kernels with GB.
Been looking for a while..
I have been looking for an ics rom with wifi calling for my my4g for a while now. The best I could find was a gingerbread rom. I found the wifi calling zip, but it crashed every time I tried to open it, so I gave up and uninstalled it. Someone put a zip file out there I believe it was ported from a current tmo device with ics & wifi calling (maybe samgals3), but I'm not a developer and do not know how to use those files. I tried really hard to find an ics wifi calling rom and had zero luck, so now I've given up and am just trying to find a good rom that won't boot loop on me. Good luck I'll post one if I come across one.. I'm still looking..
Will i still have the wifi calling feature with tmobile if I flash a new rom on it? I want to flash something like cyangenomod but not sure if I will lose this feature!

I beleive that the rom has to have wifi calling in it for it to work. Also you have to have tmo for wifi to work. Att and Verizon are working on getting wifi calling as well but will not be rolled out till next year. I could be wrong. But this is what i read up to now. If any one else knows please correct me.
There are some ROMs that have wifi and volte working (XtreStoLite). Most of them don't the last time I checked as they were based off the international version.
On CM you'll lose Wi-Fi calling. It's a feature on T-Mobile roms and is a proprietary app.
My provider is t-mobile germany. I have everything enabled on my account page, and wifi calling is working sometimes for a day or two. But after a while it just wont turn on. The same with volte at this point. I have to restart the phone to get this functionality up and running again.
Happens on both rooted custom roms, as well as stock rom. In both cases i took extra care to use the official stock rom from t-mobile germany dtm or the appropriate csc when using a custom rom.
Anyone else having similar problems? Is there maybe a way to reset the radio part of the s7 edge without having to restart the whole phone? Or maybe a more permanent solution? Turning on flight mode and turning off does not do the trick. A friend of mine has no such problems with his iphone 6. Same network, same wifi and same t-mobile account variant.
Thanks for reading!
just wondering why do you need wifi calling if you have unlimited talk/text?
Reception at work is bad, and i have to be available for my family and customers. During the times it is working i find this to be a very valuable feature. And besides, it should work all the time, but sadly doesn't in my case. Anyone else having similar problems?
Hello everyone, my wife and I have s7 edges, 935u editions from best buy. We are using them on T-Mobile, have the latest updates, and we seem to have a bit of an issue.
Wi-Fi calling. Text messages, to be specific, fail to send on wifi. It's not all the time, either. Very sporadic. Think it's just Wi-Fi calling not working correctly? Or is there something I can do on my end? I couldn't find a thread with my exact problem. If there is one and I missed it, I apologize in advance.
Thanks in advance!
I believe this is a network problem..not from the phone itself. Try contacting them
