Just ask the company, they'll tell you.
Is there any way to get T-Mobile USA wifi calling working on AT&T Atrix 4G?
I believe this will need some modification with the kernel.. not too sure though.

Yes I am. I got the SIM unlock code from AT&T (free) yesterday. And now trying to get wifi calling to work. T-Mobile offers free unlimited wifi calling and I use that feature all the time.

from what i can tell about TMo's wifi calling is it requires kineto apk and some lib files. may not work at all on the atrix
Is it possible to get those lib files from other phones?
Sorry I dont know the answer to your question, but I'm curious about what your data connection is like with the atrix on tmob. Only getting edge?

possibly. if you want to go over to one of the tmobile based phone forum (G2/Desire Z, Glacier, etc) and find the appropriate files. there may need to be changes in build.prop too, i dont remember.

what are your thoughts about this phone?
is USSD code able to run? (for eg. can you check balance and activate packs by dialing *121#)
i read on forum that this is not supported by photon 4g ?
also check whether wi-fi hotspot works or not?
pls give your opinion and help me...pleeeease.
thanks in advance
@ prot0n84 : well actually i configured the APN settings it worked for few minutes but i keep getting error messages that a network problem occurred retry or cancel.
i am not able to use this continuously. Is der some defect in the cell or what?
@mustali : well the phone is great.
yes there is some problem in running USSD codes. rest it works great!!!
PRL
Don't know if this helps at all, but it is good to occasionally reset your PRL's according to where you live.
I don't know what is PRL n how to update it?

I purchased a galaxy s3 international version about a month ago. The phone was working fine for about a month until yesterday, my phone is getting very little or no signal at all. also, when i connect my phone to my car, the phone will start calling itself. i performed a factory reset and the bluetooth problem was gone, but the phone is still getting very little to no signal. wifi is working fine. i called Rogers, my service provider. all they ask me to do was to buy a new sim card or remove the battery from the phone and wait. none of those helped... :crying: i'm kind of desperate here as i can't figure out what went wrong with it... my phone is not rooted or anything... if someone can help me out, i would really really appreciate it. :crying::crying:
Unless you are willing to start flashing modems to your phone there isn't much we can do for you.
Best bet is to keep pestering your carrier if you don't wanna root and modify your phone.

thx for the quick reply. So rooting my phone and flash a new rom is the only solution? :crying: is it possible it's hardware problem?
Not a Rom, not before trying modems anyway.
It may be hardware related, you should keep pestering your carrier for a replacement.
If it world fine before then chances are its a hardware issue or the cell tower near you is down.

i just found out in my mobile network setting under access point names, there's LTE ththering and Rogers LTE, could this be the problem? cus my phone doesn't have LTE maybe that's why? sorry, i'm not very good at phone stuff, it's just my random guess...
Is your phone International I9300 ????
Or are you possibly and no offense meant in the wrong forum ??##

Did you try with a SIM of other network? This may at least point out that either it is network problem or hardware problem.

I don't have another micro SIM... I tried flashing different modem and firmware. But none of them works... the phone is connected to the network, just the signal is extremely low all of a sudden... I had an software update 3 days ago, maybe that's why?

Hello folks, after lots of research I found myself compelled to open a new thread about this problem. I read in some places that it&t locks its devices not letting the phone use WiFi tether. Well, I unlocked my bootloader and rooted the phone, and im currently using elegancia Rom. Im not really interested in WiFi, only in tethering. I tried different roms and the results were the same. Any help?

Are you on a share plan or a regular plan with AT&T? I know that Tethering is included for free with Share plans but AT&T charges extra if your on a different plan. You may need to have the feature added to your account.

I bought my phone on a travel to California, but I'm from Brazil. I unlocked my phone in order to have it working with my local carrier.

Then you may have to reach out to your carrier to make sure you have the feature enabled. Most likely it is being blocked by your local carrier.

I hardly think so... I had a HOX and everything worked like a charm.
I just bought the full version of PDAnet and I'm using it. It's a shame to have to buy an app to do something that the phone itself should do by itself.

Well here in the states they charge us for each and every little feature.
so guys... no help?
Are you looking for tethering it reverse tethering??
Have you tried Fox-Fi tether from the Play Store? There's many apps on the Play Store that enable this feature.

What?
Thanks, but I'm already using PDAnet. However, I'd like to use the "bult-in" smart tethering feature of the phone, independent of third party apps
Sorry didn't see that. I know it is ridiculous having a feature disabled on your $700 phone that is built in. And having to use a 3rd party app.
Especially with carriers charging for a feature thats bulit in your phone.
