I've been using GrooveIP as an alternative to Tmobile WiFi calling. I relied heavily on Tmobile wifi calling because the reception in my home is terrible. GrooveIP works, but there's a delay in the audio that's really impossible to tolerate. Does anyone know a way to install tmobile wifi calling on the note? Is there an APK out there that might work? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

also interested in this.
i also made a thread a little while back never got anywhere...would like to see this
Tmobile wifi calling is mostly broken on ICS in the form that we would need it for this rom. We would need to use a GAN based wifi calling, the only phone slated to get ICS that uses GAN wifi calling is the sensation 4g from tmobile. Im not sure if the ICS update for that will bring GAN based wifi calling or IMS based wifi calling. Either way its going to be a headache to get it running. As soon as they update the sensation 4g to ICS ill start messing around with it, and for anyone else that though maybe the one S ics roms may have some answers, just know that the one s uses an IMS based wifi calling. GAN uses kineto and IMS uses movial. im pretty sure thats how it goes anyway.
Bump...any new developments for this feature?
Another gratuitous bump.
the issue is the kernel until source gets here nothing can be done about this at all... wait till the source gets released
Ive always wanted wifi calling on the Galaxy Note but with AT&T..im not sure if its possible. I did see a thread about it but i know like the guy above said it has too do with the kernel..or maybe the framework-res.apk
I would love to resolve the issue it is you are having as well as mines.
If only there were a magic box with all of our answers Lol

Ive had many "not registered" errors when trying to place a calls over WiFi and called in for support to TMo many times. The third week and the fourth or fifth "PDA" service guy went all out and then gave up and turned me over to "Loyalty". Its like getting switched to the inquisition. THEY told me, 'bad news' Vibrant can't make calls over WiFi. SO I confessed it only worked 50% of the time.
When I agreed to take the phone, TMo said it would support UMA. In the mean time I think they decided they would not support UMA. I can call TMo phone mail no problem and the phone rings and then disconnects. It will make a call from "voice" but shows the not registered error when I dial a number. It has to be TMo router settings. They offered to send me a 3G Curve which they said would support UMA telephony, but they had no other phones - oh yah maybe the "Shaddow" was available but even they wouldn't go so far. I'm SOOOO sick of RIM, really, really sick. So I rejected that. So now I'm making calls and receiving calls over WiFi, but not reliably and with no support.
I'm fairly certain this is the tip of the big iceberg. My Vibrant was very early pre-purchase, so it might not have had all the TMo down mods. Never the less, it seems crazy that I would pay them to use my own DSL/WiFi as I seem to be doing with my HTC Incredible/Verizon phone. It works great, but of course I pay.
TMo gave me some questionable information regarding using Vonage, which I found does is not suposed to work with the Vibrant. They also said no Android phone will work with TMo hot spots, which I am inclined to accept. It appears all the carriers will do anything to keep a branded hand set off of free WiFi telephony. So I'm trying Google Voice. It registers, but I have so far not recieved a call to my new Gvoice phone number.
Do I need to root the phone? Are there apps that will help? Does any one out there think the 2.2 upgrade with the TMo holy water has a ghost of a chance of making WiFi phone calls without a TMo charge? My Incredible/Verizon still tethers on PDA-net and I think that is not charged. But I'm not clear on that either.
I just pre-bought a Tab through Cell Phone Hut. I will see if a device free of TMo tweeks will route telephony over WiFi. All I really need is a cheep pre-paid SIMS card for OTA. It's nuts thinking to pay 3G or 4G OTA data rates when the same data is free over WiFi. There will be many Android apps to do all your data I/O when you are in range.
cheers all... thx for any light on this!
Umm what? You're able to make calls on wifi 50% Of the time. You can make Google voice calls over wifi? You were told the vibrant would have uma? ?? Maybe I'm misunderstanding you but....
Google voice is NOT a voip service so i think you're misjudging its use.
Vibrant was never said to have wifi calling, just like every other android.
An app called kineto was recently announced that does wifi calling but its not uma. it doesn't hand off to cell network. Its announced to be available for the new mytouch n moto defy.
Also, tmo uma will no longer give you 'free calling'. It takes from your minutes so its only real advantage is to extend coverage.

The Vibrant hasn't been confirmed to ever get Wifi calling but it was demo'ed on a Vibrant running 2.2. The feature could possibly be added to the vibrant once it receives the 2.2 update.
This is strange. We've had our vibrants about a week. When I'm home I have the Wifi turned on. The signal bars drop to zero. I have just assumed that my voice calls were going over Wifi to our DSL modem over the Internet.
Note: We happen to have a T-Mo wireless router from back in the days when we were using it with our Blackberries to keep the minutes down. Subsequently T-Mo switched us to an unlimited plan, but we still use this router for one hard-wired home line.

Signal bars dropping to zero is just a visual indicator; doesn't necessarily mean there is zero signal, just not enough signal to flip the visual indicator. This happens to me quite a lot - I have no signal, but someone calls me and the call quality is fine.
In any case - basic logical fallacy - correlation does not necessarily imply correlation. Although it would be super nice to make calls over wifi!
<------ Tmo Retail Rep
There is no Android phone that supports UMA at the moment. The only Android that will have UMA that has been announced so far is the myTouch HD. Not sure why someone would tell you the Vibrant has the feature.
Not only that, 0 bars doesn't mean no service. The circle with a slash means no service

Where was it ever said that the Vibrant would have UMA? Its one thing if a rep was mistaken but no slick, ad, spec sheet, or anything else that I recall ever implied that UMA was going to be available. I came from a Blackberry to the Vibrant so I felt I was aware that UMA was not available.
UMA in Android NOT
Apparently Android has no UMA support, but a lot of people want it:
Check out Issue 6242 - Google's board for android code / issues.
I am thinking about moving to vibrant and tmobile. the only thing that is stopping me is the lack of uma support on the vibrant. Does anyone know whether this is capability will be added with the 2.2 update??
Have you guys not tried any of the new leaked froyo roms? They all have wifi calling and it works, although its not uma and doesn't hand off it works great. This is actually a Godsend for I have had Tmobile for 7 years and I get no service in my house, finally a solution. I'm not sure this will be released in the upcoming froyo update or it was just pulled from the Mytouch4g and they made it work for our phones.
Has anyone been able to pull the WiFi calling app out of the myTouch 4G ROM for use on the Vibrant? I really could use that functionality as I have poor coverage at my house. I searched around the forums and did not find anything promising. I am not sure if that app can even be ported but I know that T-Mobile plans to eventually make it available on other Android devices so I am hoping it is possible on the Vibrant.
I'm not sure if it's the same program that's on the G2 but it has been discussed and it seems that it will not work due to whatever reason. I cannot remember the exact reasons from the thread regarding this, some security issues within the program if I remember right. It looks like everyone will just have to wait until it gets all sorted out or Tmobile makes it available for all.
I'm just wondering if the new T-Mobile branded SGS III has Wi-Fi calling?
all the Tmo-specific articles I read said it does indeed have WiFi Calling... which is one of the few reasons I'll be getting it next week when the 32gb versions come out

Yeah I'm currently in Europe, but I'm planning to have it shipped here so I'll finally be able to make phone calls and text without being charged up the ass
It says it has wifi calling on Tmo's website...
Mine turned on wifi calling without any prompting as soon as I connected to my WiFi AP. I had to go out of my way to turn it back off.
Yes, it has it. There's no dedicated icon for it because the settings are now under the main Settings... More Settings.
Quality?
can anyone who has the phone comment on how well the WiFi Calling is?
thanks!

ahh yeah for sure! I used my G2X that way in Japan last year to save, worked flawlessly albeit there was about a 1/2 second of noticeable lag probably just from being on the other side of the planet.

If you are using wi-fi calling, can you switch off the cell radio and still get SMS and/or MMS's?

WiFi calling automatically switches off the cell radio. And yes you can still send and receive SMS and MMS.
does it eat up your minutes? im on the walmart $30 prepaid plan with 100 minutes :/
free wifi calling works on pre-paid plans
can someone confirm free wifi calling works on prepaid plans?

I am having trouble with my Wi-Fi calling feature on my SGS3. When it is enabled, I can make a call with no problem. However, when someone calls me, it either will not allow me to answer or goes straight to my VM. Also, when checking my voicemail, when it asks for my PIN, as soon as I start to touch the screen, it goes black. I have to short press the power button for the screen to come back, go to touch it again to enter my PIN and it goes black again. I have no idea what is up with this.
Hey everyone, I just have a quick question. After spending hours and hours googling and flashing roms, I still have not found an answer to this question:
Will T-mobile Wifi Calling ever be available on the samsung vibrant on an ICS ROM?
I have terrible cell coverage in my house and the wifi calling feature works great, however the phone in general is a bit slow compared to some ICS ROMS that I have tried (w/out wifi calling)
Should I hold out for a rom with wifi calling or should I never expect to get a ICS rom with wifi calling?
Thanks in advance.
dont hold you breath they have tried but it failed every time
How about the Gingerbread ROMs on the Vibrant? Does anyone know if there's any with T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling that works?
Hey guys I'm a pretty new member but I want to save on my phone bills by using a flextab from bell on my sg3 and I like Dell voice because you can port your number. Anyone find the voice calls over cellular networks absolutely horrible compared to wifi? I was wondering if there's a fix for this or somehow a way to make my phone think it's on wifi even though it isnt; if that would even help.
Thanks!
By the way I'm in Canada so Google voice isn't an option for me

What version are you using currently? They seem to have released a new version that says it has better call quality. I have an SIII on Rogers and the quality is pretty good with the new update. It uses about 32kbps up and 32 kbps down so any decent 3G connection should be able to handle the calls. What is bad about the voice?
Also, since you are using Bell you have no EDGE fall back option, which it doesn't work very well on. Where I live, all I get reliably is EDGE so I have to rely on my WiFi for calling. When I'm in the city though I have had some long conversations without too much issue.

Thanks I did the know that! Maybe I should try getting the Rogers flex plan but I heard that it won't work on cellphones.
