just like it says. I search other topics but hard to find exact answer. I know the google edition purchased from google directly does not have the wifi calling. The Tmobile edition however does. The question is:
Can I convert the T-Mobile edition into the Google Edition (I know this part is possible) and keep the WIFI calling?
Thanks

What part of no don't you understand?
From what I read they all get answered pretty quickly with a No

No need to be a **** to the OP. Sorry, but no you need the Tmobile version of the HTC Sense 4.1.2 which has been implemented to support this feature. AOSP ROMs will not have this feature either.

No. People with other T-Mobile Android phones couldn't do it or had to make bizarre changes to their rooted phones in order to get it half-working. It's deeply imbedded in to the phone OS. Use Skype or one of the other VoIP solutions in the marketplace.

Thanks for the quick response. Bummer. The prob with Skype is that it isn't free calling like with the Tmo app.
Will look into the alternatives or just wait it out when TMo releases an official Samsung SG2 equivalent.
well, the GS2 *does* support iWLAN ...

In my 5 minute read up on this, it "should" work similar to the wifi calling app, correct?
Do you know of anyone confirming iWLAN is working for them?
anyone have success with iWlan?
has anyone tried it? did it work? Tmo now has a new stock rom out for the SGH-T989 that is supposed to have Tmo WiFi calling on it, but am afraid i will lose root if i flash it. Anyone try the tmo stock? can i get root back on it?
If you search there is already a 2.3.6 root if you update via kies software.. Yes, you will lose root to update to the 2.3.6, but you can unroot it again via odin..
Orange UK have a wifi app for the S2, it only works on Orange here in the UK as it has to be enabled on the network side. Here's a link with instructions on how to get it working

Use the search function. Your answer is somewhere in the threads already pertaining to this subject.
You can't use a VZW Note 2 on Sprint, won't work, and the reverse isn't possible either. Also, you only need to get the APN data to use the VZW Note 2 on any other carrier. See the thread in development about it.
nvm. lololol
Can i flash GSM roms onto the Verizon DNA? im thinking of buying one not to use on Verizon, only to use GSM, id love to use the new GPe rom and i see its fine with GSM, so was just wondering, i know its more than likely a stupid Q, but ive tried searching and cant find an answer, and ive never used a Verizon phone as a gsm unit on another network

Thank you very much
The DNA is a global phone, so it has both CDMA and GSM radios. The hardware isn't the question. Most Sense ROMs are globally compatible, and AOSP ROMs require the GSM patch found in the CM10.1 thread. You can also run Sense 5 Android 4.2. Us VZW users can't.
So yes, it will work just fine.

Hello. I am Currently running the Stock Kit Kat T-mobile rom. I am S-off and rooted. What would be the benefits or drawbacks of completely converting my phone to either the Google Play Edition or the Developer edition version? I know they don't include Sense, but is that the only difference? Thanks for any information!

The developer does include sense. The only advantage is that it doesn't have any TMO software, and they generally get updates before the TMO ones.
Advantage to GPE is that is gets updates first and has very little software installed.
At the moment I can't recall if either of these has the HSPA+ using the AWS band, maybe someone else can chime in here. Having AWS is why I got the TMO version in the first place.
OK so if I use the GPE version, I won't be able to connect to T-Mobiles high speed network? Man that sucks.

I'm hoping someone else chimes in here, because I'm not positive. The phone will always have the radio for AWS, but the software is not in the GPE or Developer edition.
Even if this is true, it will always work with the refarmed 1900 and LTE. So your coverage may be OK depending on your location.
Looking at the Google Play page, I don't see HSPA+ AWS listed:
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=htc_one
EDIT: But if you have S-Off anyway, why not just flash it and see what happens? You can always flash back to TMO or use a custom ROM.
Yea I might just give it a try. I just flashed the T-mobile Kit Kat update so I'll probably try it for a bit, then switch to the GPE and see how I like it. Thanks for the input.

You are welcome. The HTC One is the first HTC phone I have not unlocked and flashed a ROM. The hardware specs are so good that I've never felt the need.
I have read through many threads and I cannot find a direct answer. As it is stated in the title I have the Galaxy unlocked s9+that I bought from Samsung. I am currently on AT & T network because T-Mobile is terrible here in North Carolina where I am currently living. Can I flash ATT firmware on this unlocked version of the S9 plus and use Wi-Fi calling and volte? If there is a definite yes to this question then I will try to find the ATT firmware the flash on this phone.

The answer is yes.
The firmware can be found pretty easy by looking in the forums or by looking on sammobile.com
Also, make sure you are flashing the same version of firmware. So if your device last digits are ARF4, then you want to flash the ARF4 AT&T firmware.
I have a question for this unlocked version from samsung.com. i I use it with Tmobile is the wifi calling, Volte, will work out of the box? or i have to do the same thing as flashing tmobile firmware? and also if I flash do i have to root? TIA. and also if there is already a thread for this question kindly post the link.

Yes if you use it on T mobile, the wifi, Volte will work out of the box. I was on T Mobile but because of coverage I had to switch to Att.

Since this is an unlocked phone not purchased from ATT, WiFi calling and other features wont work even on a regular post pay account. I had to call ATT and give them my IMEI from my previous ATT branded s8+ before wifi calling and smart caller ID and other features would work. I told them it was an ATT phone that i purchased at Best Buy and i read about WiFi calling problem in a forum and that using a different IMEI worked for others. The tech said it's worth a try and she changed it and ive been good to go ever since. I fumbled around the question of "is this an unlocked phone?" i said no, it has ATT logo (it does at boot, but not on the back lol) and i purchased it for ATT. That was good enough for them.
Many others with unlocked U1 phones have done the same thing and ATT has changed IMEI on their side. It doesnt change your phones physical IMEI, just their end. I saw a post where one operator said they wouldnt or couldnt do that. If they tell you no, call back you'll likely get a different person and they might change it. Main thing is you have to have an IMEI from an ATT branded phone that supports the same features (s8,s7,s6, etc) Luckily for me i have a like new s8+. It's worth much more than what they offer for trade in so i kept it. Glad i did.
Yes, I saw those posts as well but currently I do not have an ATT branded phone. So, I went and put the unlocked firmware back on the phone and I will just keep it the way it is. If the new iPhone that is coming out has the T-Mobile band 71, I probably will jump back to the iPhone. This was my first Android in about 4 years. I am kind of disappointed that it won't work.
