hey, is there a way that i could have wifi calling on ics. i want to try it but i need to have wifi calling feature since i do use t now on my 2.2 rom. i can give up gps since that never worked rite on vibrant. lol if it is not possible then can someone tell me how to get it on an muiu rom like lithium. they look really cool but no wifi calling.
Only half our gb roms have it and its half-assed.. so to answer your question: not likely

Long Story short I would have to walk down the block to use my phone at work. Wifi calling is a necessity. When I got my phone it was already flashed to a ROM that to this day I have no clue what it is. I know it is some version of JK6. Anyways Wifi calling is decently stable though I am having some minor issues with wifi connection and my battery is awful. If I flash a new modem would this interfere with the wifi calling's stability?
And having that in mind is there a list of what ROMS include wifi calling? (or can it be installed on any ROM, because I would really like to try Axura or Nero) but I can not go without it on my phone.
Thanks!

I'm sure it can work with axura, I've tried it, not sure about nero, but it should work.
The devs removed wifi calling from roms because its a HUGE battery hog, but I'm sure you can find a .apk on xda, or 4 shared.
I'm running Nero V3 and Wificalling works fine. It even seems to work better then my old JK2 based ROM. I'm using the .apk linked from the slightly better gingerbread theme found here in the vibrant themes section.
Flash a new rom and if the rom does not have the .apk just d/load it... no issues at all with the new roms.
Thanks guys I wasnt sure if the program was ROM Specific or required certain files/settings blah blah blah. But if it should work with any newer Rom I guess I should just get over this fear of flashing and pull the trigger. monkey1911 Ill give that a search right now so at least I can put it in my arsenal. Ill let y'all know my results. Thanks for the help!
I finally took the leap tonight and flashed nero 4.1 (maybe ill do 5 eventually but I like this for my first flash.)
I installed wifi calling and it works great. Had a struggle restoring my contacts because what's on google contacts is not correct and it wants to override what I restored using titanium which is correct so I had to shut it off and re restore the contacts after.
Only issue I am having is my camera advises me the firmware is not current and says continue yes or no. Any fix for this? Thanks for the help guys I am finally glad I got the audacity to flash

Kind of a newb but managed to root and flash newest vanilla tazz to my htc eris. I noticed that it came with H connectivity instead of 3g. HSDPA. Seems to work faster for wifi tethering x box 360 than when i had just stock rooted on 3g. So i was wondering which rom for the eris has the best data connectivity or would be the best for tethering and gaming on a console.
Tethering and gaming on a console is a bad idea.
And no, different ROM's probably won't effect 3G data all that much... if anything they might do something wrong but most of them wil give you the same.
The only thing that effects 3G data is your ISP, your radio, and the reciever in your phone.
Bad ideah why?
Is it because of the speeds that you say its not a good ideah? Its really my only way to game and all i want to know is how to get the fastest tether. And yes switching from stock to vanilla tazz improved my connnectivity. 3g to hsdpa is a difference maybe not a big one but it helped alot. There is way less noticeable lag. if there are any other ways to help make my tether faster thats what im looking for. thanks for any help. and for the quick reply .

Don't let the data icon fool you... its still 3g no matter how you look at it. The reason for the H is because it was ported from the Hero. It doesn't change anything.

Well ever since I flashed the rom gaming got a little less laggy on tether my movie download went fromapprox. 20-30kbps to 60-max160kbps. And I even did internet speed test and got 1.5-2.5 Mb higher so there is definatly a difference consistsntly not just guessing. If anybody out there knows any other ways to faster tether plz help. Thanks for any help and quick rrplys

I have a lot of tethering experience as it was my only internet from August until just a couple weeks ago. Every time I thought I found a rhyme or reason why my tethering was working much, much better, things would change again and it would revert to the old, works, but is hard to rely on consistently for computer levels of data transfer.
Sorry I don't have any specific advice for you at this time. In general, I liked CM6's (and I assume CM7's, too) native tethering as it connected a lot faster than other solutions. For a while I got great tethering performance, too, and then it was only on weekends I would get great performance. Eventually it was hit or miss, with a lot of misses.
I hope your solution keeps working well for you!
Somebody must know a way...lol plz help
Hey all, I've been running CM7 on the Vibrant for a couple of days, but I have noticed that there is no support for Wi-Fi calling. I LOVE the ROM, but Wi-Fi calling, due to where I live, is a must for me... I've tried asking in the CM7 thread multiple times if anyone has gotten it to work, but my question always gets ignored :/
So my question is this. Is it possible to get Wi-Fi calling working on CM7 for the Vibrant? If so, how?
I've seen threads about Wi-Fi calling working on CM7 for the Nexus One, so what is keeping it from our phones?
Thanks for helping me understand this better
Bump? Can anybody help?
I rarely use wifi calling but do you what the internet calling options under settings indicate? Is that the same as wifi calling?
i did a quick search and it looks like the devs are still working on a wifi calling for it on the nexus s.

Here's the answer from the Cyanogen Vibrant Wiki:
Is TMobile's WiFi Calling supported on CyanogenMod 7?
No. Due to the maintainers that have a Samsung Vibrant not having a TMobile account, they are unable to test or develop this. This will likely have to come from a third-party maintainer or someone willing to help bring it to the stock kernel, which can actually be tested on TMobile.
Looks like the answer/fix will have to come from outside of the Cyanogen community. It appears that most ROM devs are having the same problem with Gingerbread. Though I love my CM7 Nightly build #56, I'll probably change ROMs if some other developer gets this issue fixed, provided GPS still works, too!
I have it understood that the problem with wifi calling on cm7 is that it depends on alot of samsung's roots in our phone which would have to be added or faked in order to get it to work... 'twould be quite a job... this is my understanding, could be waay off

Any new info??
Does anyone else know if there is an apk for the wifi calling yet?
I flashed to:
2.2.1 T959UVKB1
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Darky's V. 9.3 XWJS5 Extreme _Edition
using a Samsung T959 Vibrant Model Phone
Everything is running well, Awesome ROM, the only two issues I'm having is there seems to be no WIFI calling and I cant receive any text now!
I searched the threads for info on this and this was all I found was A response from a thread responder:quote "Sweet honey is the smoothest out of Bionix and Darkys. At least in my opinion only item not working on it is WIFI calling" unquote
Also need an answer or suggestion on the texting issue as well!
The reason I need the WIFI calling so bad is I live so far out in the country, That I cant get a strong enough signal from T-Mobile's nearest tower to receive or call out, and when I was running the stock Froyo 2.2.1 I was able to call using the WIFI calling with my Broadband connection at my house! And I need the texting for business correspondence as well!
If there anyway to correct this and still use Darkys ROM? And IF NOT! Then what other similar ROMS to Darky's have the WIFI calling, and with no text issues!
Dont want to go back to stock If its avoidable, otherwise if there are no ROMS or fix's then I obviously have no other choice but to go back to Stock Flavor again! Which would be very sad and disappointing!
It is my understanding that none of the 2.2.1 roms are capable of running WIFI calling as of yet. There are a lot of 2.2 roms out by EDT and TW that you can run WIFI calling on. I'm currently on Trigger 2.7.2 and used the bloater app to install WIFI calling and it works like a champ. I was also having some issues with texting as well on one or two of the 2.2.1 roms as well, but not all and couldn't track down the problem. Hope this helps!
So with the Trigger 2.7.2 are you up and running with the text and good telephony using a WIFI AP ??? With 0 defects???
And How is the GPS aquisition capabilities with trigger and what modem does it use?? I Need good GPS routing when I travel for work, just as important as the other agenda's!
If this ROM can provide all Ive asked, then it seems a winner to me, I havent seen any pic's of it though and was wondering if it looks good, also how is the speed with the kernnel it runs on??
I know alot of questions, but still trying to find the right flavor I can stay satisfied with, and stop tweaking for awhile! LOL!!
Anyways thank you for your time and effort. Appreciate YA!

Yep, the WIFI app from the bloater app works great, no problems with calls or texts. GPS also works great, outside get a lock usually 9/11 birds and with using the navigation app, or maps its usually spot on. GPS on the vibrant is never perfect. Trigger is KB1 base with KB1 voodoo kernel and KB1 modem. After flashing Overstock, using quadrant, which isn't an accurate benchmark but can be used for comparisons, it scored mid 1700 to low 1800. Stock kernel scored mid 1400 to low 1500. Keep in mind, all hardware is different and you may not get the same results, and whenever flashing anything, be sure you know how to odin back to stock and read the OP fully! Good luck and hopefully this helps you out!
Cheers!
Also, I do flash the s.gps fix that is posted in the development section.

Has anyone gotten the tmobile wifi calling app to work with the optimus t on gingerbread based roms? I have found packages for roms based on android version 2.2 but none for gingerbread.
Thanks
Other question: did you flash your Optimus T to Android 2.3 ?
I am still on 2.2.2 and would like to test 2.3 - I heard you can get a 2 to 2.5 speed improvement with custom roms.
Yes I have 2.3 on it. I put an unofficial version of cyanogenmod on it. As for the speed, it is considerably faster than 2.2. My quadrant slandered score was around 900. The only thing I am missing now is wifi calling.
@cekuhnen I'm running 2.3.7 (Arc_OS) on my Optimus T. Besides being a lot faster, the battery lasts a lot better on it. I can usually get 16-24 hours on my phone. Even if you want to keep running on Froyo, they have some good ROMs for that as well. My wife is running #void froyo-final on hers and it works a lot better and faster than stock.
@harelb I havent seen any wifi calling for 2.3 but if I do, I'll send you a message.
Thanks, I managed to install the wifi calling app but it won't connect to the t-mobile network. It comes up with the error: "You are currently not registered with eh T-mobile network. Would you like to register to enable wifi calling?" Pressing register does nothing.
AmeriKan47 can you help me with getting Android 2.3 onto my Optimus?
I was reading this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394007
But honestly I have no real clue about all the steps I need to take and software to download. Better battery and faster performance would be great
I would be very happy in case you could tell me what I need to do.
Sorry for being such a nOOb at xda

I remember I found WIFI calling online and installed it on my Optimus V10l and I got the same error message. Wifi calling was missing on this version when I bought the phone.
With V10S (I bricked my phone with the LG update and found this image to recover it) I noticed that now WIFi calling works.
Thus I assume this might be an incompatibility on your side.
I switched to use SKYPE and other VOIP callers when on WIFI.
Too bad Google Talk does not allow calls via the smartphone as you can do from a desktop PC.
I managed to make a wifi calling that "runs" on gingerbread by modifying this package. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116268
I changed the wifi calling app to the one found on the lg g2x. The app runs fine but when I try to enable wifi calling I get W005.4 Tmobile Network Error. I managed to get rid of the register on the tmoible network. Any ideas?
The file is attached below.
I've found that GrooVe IP works perfectly as it uses Google Voice to connect calls. I use my Optimus on Wifi only. GrooVe IP is a $4.99 paid app but well worth it imo. Of course there are ways to get GrooVe Ip apk without paying but you never know what you are getting when you go that route.
