Wifi Calling on ICS - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

[Q] Wifi Calling on the HD2

Hi,
In between owning android devices and my HD2 I used a Blackberry for a few months. What really impressed me was the wifi calling feature. I live at the bottom of a hill so I get horrible reception in my house and with the wifi calling on the blackberry I always had bars and I never dropped a call at home. My question is (and I really looked around ALOT on this and could find nothing), is there a way to enable the HD2 to have wifi calling? Meaning, get some signal bars from my wifi? If there isn't an app for it now I'd LOVE to see one. Is it even possible?
Thanks for reading and any feedback would be cool,
Kn0t
bring up an old thread, i would like to know this.
me too. running android on my hd2, and would love to get tmobiles wifi calling.
or maybe a way to use wifi for google voice? instead of tmobile minutes

[Q] non 3G roms will disable 3G?!

I have the option of getting a 10.1 3g version and looking around the forum it seems most roms are cooked for non 3g devices.I dont plan to get a new data plan so dont need the 3g basically. so here is my Q:
will flashing a non 3G rom only disable the 3G capabilites (yet wifi works) or will it not function at all (the whole device)?!
I appreciate any help.
If you read the dev forums, you'd see that yes, in fact, wifi ROMs disable 3g but otherwise work on 3g devices.

VZW is on to you.
How long does it take before 4G cuts out? I just tried it on mine and so far its been stable for a few minutes of tethering to my tablet and streaming some Netflix.

I have not experimented with any ICS roms other than Nils ICS Business. Under settings make sure you set it to Nexus (CDMA/LTE) with routhing fix on. After that it should work smooth. If not, there are only two other possibilites one being your ROM or two being your on the edge of 4G coverage and your phone's signal is drawing so much trying to transfer data that it drops from 4g into 3g. Ive had similar instences where this has happened and I end up turning WIFI off and then Mobile Network Off, followed by turning them both back on to regain 4G.
Also you can try updating su binaries, sometimes that helps problems with tether.

Tmobile WiFi calling on Galaxy Note

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.
I'm using this ICS rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1581065
on Tmobile with the ICS Telus modem
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
