Does the WiFi Calling app also handle text messages?
Yes

Confirmed.
I use WiFi Calling at one of the buildings at work due to lack of service.
Phone operates no differently than normal. Texts and voice just fine.
It does need to be a solid wifi signal to use wifi calling though...

Ever since I've had my Atrix, the wifi randomly switches off. My question is: should I exchange my Atrix, or is there a way to fix this?

I am on the ATT network with no modifications done to my Atrix.

Have you got any power saving stuff enabled?

Unless it was enabled by default; no.

I think the Atrix's WiFi radio is just weak. My mom's iPhone gets 3 bars of WiFi across the house from my router, but my Atrix drops to two bars if I just go into the next room. My Atrix struggles to hold one bar across the house. It sucks, but then again, I am using the crappy router that comes with U-Verse.
I exchanged some PMs with a moto dev about this a few weeks ago. I have a weak wifi signal at work and it will drop if I start using marketplace or facebook extensively. Part of his/her PM:
The "bars" shown by the UI have pretty big margin of error but RSSI reading less then -80 pretty much puts link at the lowest end of the budget. Also that does not account for interference really because Wifi is simple technology. So if you are at -80 at a workplace that has tons of 2.4 RF you will have disconnects and many retransmissions. This is why using of the market place probably triggers something in IC because you have lots of data and error counters go up a lot.

If you're talking about a weak signal, there is nothing to do for that unless you increase your router's transmit power. If it drops, then go to wifi settings > menu capacitive button > wifi sleep policy > never.
I changed the wifi sleep policy and it still switches off randomly. The wifi will still switch off randomly even if I'm sitting right next to my wifi source.

What battery settings are you using? Is it power saver? Set it to performance, if so.
Yeah the wifi still dies

For the sake of testing, try disabling all security to see if the wifi connection is ok or not while sitting next to your wireless router. Also, could you let us know what kind of wireless router you are using (make and model#), and the type of securtiy you aare using, e.g. WEP/WPA/WPA2&TKIP, etc?
I have tried on 3 different modems, the current one I'm using is a wireless router WGR614 V9 with wpa security, I tried switching it off and I still had the same problem. The other 2 where in encrypted and still disconnected me. I also have the problem at ATT hotspots.

that's not good. If you're up for it, reflash with stock and try wifi with nothing installed. If you still get the disconnects then get a replacement.
What does reflashing to stock entail? Is it as easy as ODIN?

download from moto here. I haven't done it, but it looks more safe/less painful than an SBF flash.
I'm already at the latest version, through all the updates I've always had the same problem. I'm not seeing a stock firmware download.

I just started a Masters of Geology program and needed to make money cuts everywhere.... the cell phone was an easy choice since I have wifi almost everywhere I go.
In the interest of battery life, does anyone know if there is a way to turn the cellular modem/radio off and leave the bluetooth, gps, and wifi modem on?
Thanks
Battery monitor has a setting to only disable cell tower you won't be able to get call either but Bluetooth and wifi will still work

There should be a setting to disable data under mobile netwerks settings

Which Battery Monitor is this? A market search yielded many apps.

I don't have a setting for that, at least not under Mobile Network Settings.
I suppose I should mention that I am running Bionix Frost 2.2.1 with kernal 2.6.32.9; I don't know if that would make a difference.
Thanks for the replies.
hi everyne,
Im using a rooted vibrant (vanir rom) with unlimited data plan for almost a year now but 75 percent im using a home wifi per month.
1.Can Tmobile detect from my account if i suddenly use a wifi tethering service from a 3rd party app for my tablet?
2. whats a good wifi tethering app that is noy detected by tmbobile?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
The only thing they can detect is that you use much data traffic in short time and has many connections opened. I don't know if they use normally a sniffer. If they do it, they could see depends on the data and signature, that it is not from a mobile phone.
