[Q] Stock 4.2.2 sim free when? - T-Mobile HTC One (M7)

I got my HTC One last week. I purchased the phone off contract unlocked. Does anyone know when the stock firmware comes out for contract free phones?

You can unlock bootloader, install custom recovery then flash stock or other custom Rom. Other than that, you pretty much have to wait for Tmo for the Rom update.

I'm not on Tmo or any network (I am on UK's Three but only via the SIM). It's SIM free. I can use any network I like.

I upgraded to stock Rom and good room but no Wi-Fi calling app has been developed for 4.2.2 yet I would use a rmobile Rom until the release the new Rom the switch back to stock and download the app from the market. WiFi calling allows for receiving calls and txt even if no network is available.

Keep your T-Mo version and just install AOSP. It's pentaband (has the 1700mhz band). The Google version is simply a re-branded AT&T non-pentaband one.
Nevermind, mis-read your post.

Q- Tmobile WiFi calling app

I searched a bit bit can't seem to find an answer to this, which surprises me. Had anyone gotten the tmobile WiFi calling app to work on the At&t Note? I know there are options, but none seem to work as well as the one that comes straight from tmobile.

I gave up on that thing about six weeks ago. Now I use Viber. It works in any country I've been in, on wifi or cellular data.
T-Mobile WiFi calling is tied up in the kernel, to my knowledge you would need a custom kernel for it to work, or a hack that adds the necessary data to the kernel to make it work. I have a T-Mobile HD2 and when I was using it , tons of kernel modding went into making WiFi calling because of course the hd2 wasn't originally android and it needed a modded kernel to make it work, and even after it working it wasn't very stable .

I've been searching for weeks as well and came up with nothing. I've read that it's part of the kernel, part of the TouchWiz framework, etc. Seems there's way too many factors to get the native wifi calling for t-mobile. Apparently, back in the day t-mobile was using GAN based wifi calling, and it was an app. People got it to work on the t-mobile sensation 4g, but that's an HTC phone so it won't work for us. I was reading up on a thread in the galaxy s2 forums of some devs trying to get the native wifi calling on that device (FYI, tmo now uses an IMS based wifi calling structure) and there's a lot of work involved, including modifying some of the framework files, the phone apk and the settings apk.
The best solution at this point is to just flash the Tmo Note stock ROM in the Tmo Note Dev forum. User Tomin.fhl was kind enough to make it flashable and wifi calling works great for me on that. Just wish I was able to use AOKP or PA with wifi calling though
Yeah, I figured out how to get it done, just flash the TMobile stock ROM which is fine with me since I'm on TMobile and actually like the stock... Then you need a new Sim.

Dont you need the AWS chip for that stuff, isnt this a hardware limitation??????
Whatever you need is already built into our phones. I have been using the tmobile WiFi calling feature in my at&t note for a while now. No problems.

What's the name of the app, can I get that from play store or can you please share .apk file

If you follow the instructions to flash any stock based T-Mobile ROM onto your i717, it will be there. You need a new SIM though.

GrooVeIP will let you do voip (3g and wifi)
just make sure to set your gvoice account to use your email address as the primary number.
voila! incoming and outgoing voip calls (works for every carrier i've come across)
Wondering if anyone has seen anything on this for the note? I recently moved and tmobile service sucks but I get a good wifi signal in my apartment! Just wondering if there is any other solutions besides gvoice...I get free minutes when I use wifi calling also with tmobile so it would be awesome if it could be incorporated.
Yeah, while there are 3rd party solutions like GrooveIP, the best solution is to follow the link I posted and flash the T Mobile note img file and install the tmobile stock ROM which includes the true tmobile WiFi calling feature.

If you follow the link, toward the bottom of the first post there are instructions on running T-mobile ROM's on the i717. Follow those and you won't have any problems. I also have the at&t version, I believe though, you will have to be on the t-mobile network.

Yes, right now I am using my note on tmobile, so I guess it has been flashed to or with some other firmware....So would I still need a new sim I do not see why I would.....So you are saying just flashing a tmobile compatible rom. Do you have any suggestions? Maybe one with less bloatware and better battery life.

but that means you have to be on the "stock" ROM
the apps let you do that on any rom . . .

Might want to make a guide on how to do this. I feel like the T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling is in silent but in high demand by unlocked users.
I'm curious...if the T-Mobile stock ROMs work, why wouldn't a custom ROM for Tmobile also work? Has anyone tried?

Traveling to Greece - Phone Preparation?

Aside from getting a GSM ready ROM (or patching a ROM), what steps do I need to perform to get this phone ready for travel in Greece? I'm thinking just adding global services to my contract since I won't need to activate this phone as its my primary device. Or am I wrong?
I'd like to keep voice, text and data operational.
Will my normal US Verizon SIM work?

Global Update
The Global Update has been announced so you should be getting it soon. Then your phone will be able to run abroad.
I'm not so much worried about the ROM as I am SIM card requirements or Verizon plan changes.
Will my Verizon SIM work there provided I'm on a GSM ROM? Do I need to enable international or us that a gimmick on Verizon's part?

You'd probably be better off suspending your Verizon contract for the duration of your trip and getting a Greek carrier's SIM card while you're there. Verizon's international roaming fees are absurd.

[Q] Just bought an AT&T HTC One and..

I'm new to Android.. coming from iPhone and WP7/8.
I love the HTC one and paid cash for this phone. I hate being controlled by the carrier when it comes to updates.... I know now.. that next time I will buy a unlocked/developer version if available.
My question is this. Being that it is an AT&T version, can i unlock the boot loader (assuming they haven't stopped this yet) and enable receiving my software updates directly from HTC? Just like the Dev phones.
I'm not so interested in "rooting" and loading custom Rom's at this point.. i just want to make sure i get the updates ASAP.. I don't want to wait on AT&T. (I wouldn't mind deleting some of the AT&T crap off the phone though)
I have searched Google and this forum and can not find an answer that is in such simple terms that i understand it lol ... sorry if this is a stupid question.
No.

Why would you buy an att device to use on tmo anyways?

You can unlock the bootloader, you'll need the carrier's help to SIM unlock. Check out the tutorial in the development section.
Unlocking your bootloader has nothing to do with when your phone gets updated.

Also, I don't believe that T-Mobile 4G HSPA or 4G LTE will work on the AT&T version. (But I wonder if the T-Mobile version of the phone will work on AT&T's network?)
If you want to run on T-Mobile US, you need the T-Mobile US version of the phone.

HTC gpe radio questions

If I buy a HTC one from Google and get the play edition will it work on att network and would I get all the hspa+ and lte on att including their new band 2 and 5 they just realeased ?
Or should I just use HTC one from att
?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium HD app
Yes, it will work on the AT&T network. It'll work just as any AT&T device.
It is my understanding that only stock Sense roms have the new bands disabled (via a build prop line); so that should work as well.
Plus, you can always flash the AT&T radio if you want to compare the two.

Using Sprint LG G3 on Int'l GSM service (PrimeGSM rom) then later on CDMA service?

I will be travelling out of the country for 3 and a half months in May. I am on Fulmics 4.2 currently, Ringplus.
I planned to flash PrimeGSM to gain GSM service and pop in a sim while there to use, then flashing back to Fulmics 4.2 backup (or Stock Sprint ROM if there are any issues) when returning to the US.
Would using a ROM to gain GSM service (my sprint g3 is not international sim unlocked AFAIK) and then returning to CDMA service cause issues with the phone? I know that flashing a ROM doesn't change or alter your phone's activation status, just want to know if doing this will cause any irreversible changes to the phone, never done this before. Will test it when getting there to see if it actually is international sim unlocked by the previous owner (Bought it used) or not., if not will flash PrimeGSM rom for ls990.
Thanks!

I actually am using Fulmics. What you do is get on wifi,download Mobile Network Settings app from play store, put in the GSM sim and reboot, go into that app and change mode to GSM/UMTS. Let it read the sim and then change apn for the carrier if youre using data and done
