I'm using the stock wifi Mobile Hotspot app but it is not allowing incoming connections. I tried using an app called Port Forward to open a port but it didn't work. Has anybody been able to do port forwarding or upnp? I plan on rooting and trying a 3rd party app such as Wifi Tether but am just wondering if anybody has found an app that will allow this.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

i tried this a while ago but i think that verizon blocks port forwarding, not sure. I tried the port forwarding apps but i couldn't get them to work. If you do get it to work, i'd love to learn how!

Thanks for your response. I did some research on this and it looks like Verizon only gives internal ip addresses to phones on the 4G network. Talk about disappointing. I didn't see this mentioned anywhere on the site before buying the phone. :/

Has anyone successfully used a SIP account on SIII?
Yes all the time...
Which app are you guys using? Anyone use native sip app which is within android? I tried using native but I noticed how during the call you cannot use the keypad. For example, after initial call connects, and the other side says - for technical support press 1, then the keypad doesn't work since the call is already connected. Anyone having this issue?
A how-to would be great...

I think I know what you mean.
You actually get the keypad, but no DTMF tone being sent to the other end, right?
I was going to suggest sipdroid but seems like sipdroid also have the same issue.
weird.

That is correct.
I ended up buying BRIA app for $10 and a codec for another $10. This is actually working good
hi all,
couldn't find an answer to this one although i'm pretty sure the answer is no.
is the SGH-I777 workable to get wifi calling going like T-Mobile phones, or is that strictly a T-Mobile thing and we don't have the app and/or hardware for it?
thanks for the info!
To my knowledge you can't use wifi to make calls from your phones cell number. There is an app I use that will allow you to make wifi calls from a Google voice number. Check out Grooveip. It is a payed app, but it does work for wifi calling. With a rooted phone there may be other options that I am unaware of.

Yep, grooveip is one option, and I think talkatone might work too, though I've never used it.

Yes as stated above groove ip would be the best bet i use it once you have it set up if you go to gmail you can set up a phone number for calls to be fowarded to a specific phone or your phone there is a free version of groove ip a well as paid
I am using the Google Play Nexus 5 on T-Mobile US.
I am running CyanogenMOD 11 Snapshot M9 hammerhead
Android 4.4.4
OpenVPN for Android
DD-WRT Router using the OpenVPN server
I currently have a phone and VPN connection as described above. It connects and works great. The issue I am having, and have searched xda and google for the answer, is that when the VPN is connected everything works fine, except MMS. The APN is correct, per T-Mobile's website. I can send and receive MMS without the VPN connected. The moment I connect to the VPN my MMS in and out fail. I have read on Cisco's website that android has something blocking MMS when connected to VPN.
So, my question is: Is there any way to remove this block or reroute only MMS traffic outside of the VPN? I do have Android Firewall installed, so iptables is usable to do this.
No one has anything for this?
Having the same issue here.

Has anyone ever found a solution/workaround for this? I had this problem on my Galaxy S4 on 5.0.1 and now I'm having the same issue on my S7 on Marshmallow. Thanks!

The only "solution" I found, but did not feel it was the true answer, was just a workaround. I noticed that when I am hooked to wifi as well MMS fail to send and to receive. I just have to turn it off and wait for the message than turn it back on. Sucks I know, but it works.

That's a bummer! My biggest problem is receiving messages. I don't get any notification that it's trying to receive a message so I don't even know one is trying to come in.

I do get these messages, but I am using a third party MMS/SMS client (ChompSMS) that tells me when it is trying to receive something.

I may have found a solution but I still need to do more testing. When looking through the settings of some messaging apps I've noticed some give you a "MMS Behavior" option. In Textra it says:
Code:
Try 'System' if legacy MMS isn't work (for example with Project Fi, VPNs, WiFi MMS, etc).
So I set it to System and so far it seems to be working fine while being connected to my VPN. If I change back to "Legacy" or to a different default messaging app without that option it seems like they stop coming through again.
So far I've only tested this with pictures messages and haven't had a chance to try group texts yet. ChompSMS has the option in there but I've only tested it with Textra. I'm using a Galaxy S7 on Verizon so I'm not sure if that affects anything either.
Well, I tested it in ChompSMS, but no luck.

I would bet this is because the MMS server only allows the carrier IP Range. If it's blocking over Wifi as well that would prove that it's not just VPN that is causing it. I would imagine you could receive MMS from anywhere if you have a way of getting your mobile/carrier IP address. (Some sort of proxy(?))
Also found this on another forum:
SuperDave426 said:
I haven't used these in a while, but when I did they both worked over wifi. Textra and 8SMS. See if installing either one helps, if not uninstall.
But beware, if your provider doesn't support MMS over wifi you won't be able to use it, here is the warning from 8sms on MMS settings:
MMS over Wifi
If your cellular network (ie. Sprint) supports mms over wifi, you can enable Settings » MMS Settings » MMS over Wifi.
If your cellular network does not support mms over wifi (or you are not sure), then DO NOT enable MMS over Wifi or mms will stop working.

I believe T-Mobile USA does support MMS over wifi
Sent from my DLROM on Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app
I had issues with having my VPN active and not getting SMS/MMS messages while connected. Went looking for an answer and found that there wasn't any one single solution for it so I thought I'd post what worked for me. FWIW I'm on T-Mobile USA with Android 6.0.1.
Within my VPN configuration I went to the 'Allowed Apps' tab and excluded my SMS/MMS programs and processes. Namely I made sure Textra, Messenger, and MmsService were all excluded from the VPN and this resolved my issue. After disconnecting and reconnecting the VPN my text messages are sent and received without issue.
Was a pain in the butt for me as I have tasker setup to bring my VPN to life whenever it's not connected to my home wifi network. Took me a day or two to notice that text messages weren't going anywhere while the VPN was active. Oddly enough being on my home wifi network along with wifi calling being active has never caused an issue with SMS/MMS not working, but having a VPN active did.
I have switched to the Nexus 6P and am running rooted stock 7.1.1 (beta). Still with T-Mobile. I still have issues with MMS on wifi and on VPN, but no issue with SMS. It is strange. Maybe it is time to ask T-Mobile.

I found this info ..
Actually, CyanogenMod has a built-in SIP client that is very nicely integrated with the phone dialer app.
You can access it in the by open the phone dialer, then selecting "settings" from the menu, from there, SIP accounts and their behaviour can be set under "Internet Calling,"

I guess you'd most likely need to decompile the VoWiFi and WifiCalling apks, maybe.
I use the Hangouts Dialer app for wifi calling on CM.
Not even an active phone and wifi calling works. It's my old s3. I have a Google Voice number set up just for it. I use it for my home phone.
i know this is kind of rude of me to ask, seeing as you've already done so much for me, but is there any chance you would be able to, or even point me in the direction of anyone that does?

When I got it activated, it did a provisioning and profile update. From what I know about cyanogenmod, you lose access to the sprint provisioning settings area.
Hello, after updating my VRZ SG4 to the 5.0.1 lolipop i can't send txt messages. Everything else works fine,i can receive txt but cant send it.
Is there anything i can do to fix this proble. I am using my phone with different carrier,not verizon.
Thank you in advance.

The issue has to do with 4G/LTE. If the phone is in any other mode (3G, H+, etc...) the texts send. There is something goofy with the 4G/LTE.
Hmm, but the texts worked when the phone was on kit kat???
Im having a similar issue with incoming and outgoing calls not working even with full 4G. I can send/receive text messages and use Internet. I've been through two Sim cards and it hasn't fixed the issue. Has been doing this for 3 weeks now.
I'm having this issue, is there a work around for the texts?
just found out a workaround ... download app called Advance Signal Status from play store, and change your Network setting in the app to WCDMA ... everything should work. I know you will not get LTE, but H+ is good enough for speeds, atleast for tmobile.

you have to be rooted. use kingroot
I use heywire app as a workaround for now
It has to do with how Verizon is switching it's plan structure. Lotsa weird stuff happening with Vzw devices. Gov't screwing around.
I fixed by uninstalling verizon messenger+, installing android stock messenger from google apps, and reinstalling verizon messenger app.
