After many hours of trying to get this working, I think I've finally succeeded.
Please test that both Wifi Calls and Normal Calls are working properly and that Wifi Calling doesn't force close.
Flash this with CWM. This was tested on BiWinning 3.0
So close to having this for gingerbread, I can almost hear my phone ring in my living room

I agree. I just think with the leap in gingerbread and themes for 2.2 this is lost. But i cannot wait for wifi calling in gingerbread. Great step forward.

Same here, there's just not much demand now for 2.2.1 mods. With gingerbread having mostly working GPS, it is a "might as well" upgrade.

Awesome...
This is great. My wife's phone is running on a 2.2 ROM because there was no 2.2.1 version of wifi calling. I'll upgrade her tonight and see how it works.
Running biwinning and wifi calling so nice thanks

i guess its cuz after finding out that wifi calling still uses your minutes (asfter talking to a tmobile tech suppot), then thats why... i think most people think wifi calling is free... it is actually beneficial for especially for those people who have weak network signal on their place..

Saved tons of money if you go abroad to call home.
Awesome sauce! I banged my head against this one until I just couldn't do it anymore, then completely lost hope when I was providing logs to the Nexus S guys trying to port Wifi calling, and saw the constant failure they were running into. Man, this is good stuff!

I read an forum somewhere where people were calling tmobile and having added to their plan and so long as you have it added "officially" then minutes weren't debited from their plan. people with grandfathered plans won't be able to do this without losing their grandfathered plans. People were having better success adding this feature online with a live chat from tmobile, as some representatives had no idea what people were talking about while others added it with no problems. I guess it matters which rep your get. But there were many people conforming that once the feature was added they confirmed no minutes being debited in "my accounts" etc.

The way Wifi Caling works is that it uses the internet to send and receive both calls and txt(not MMS). So in theory this should work the same no matter where you are in the world. Now there have been reports of it working successfully and other reports where it was not. So for you I would simply goto a free wifi cafe and turn on Wifi, attach to that free wifi and then turn on wifi calling. If it connects then send a txt to verify it is connected. If it goes through then you will have txt and calling as if you were standing in the US. in theory that is.
Thanks... Ill try it on jpj hopefully it doesn't charge us allot

Everyone's been asking about it. Everyone wants it. Here it is, the wifi calling app from the G2! I've installed and runs perfectly fine on my vibrant running JP3 froyo 2.2. My home network is weak so i can't really test yet. Kudos to @Official_Drizzy for the .apk
Install with your preferred method of install, I used astro just fine, or push it to /system/app via adb. Whatever floats your boat.
enjoy
I wonder if this would work on Bionix 1.8? I don't mind testing, but if anyone knows the answer...

just install it, it won't hurt to try. If it doesn't, then remove it.
Doesn't look like it works at the moment... the app gets to the point where it says 'Enabling...' and doesn't do anything after that. It never goes unresponsive though. I'll keep messing around and see what happens.
It is being discussed in another thread... But it won't work yet with the vibrant. Something to do with the kernal.

The Wifi calling app is merely using your Wifi as a poor-man's femtocell to allow you to have clear voice calls if your in areas where decent voice signal isn't available and Wifi is. Granted, this would also have significant benefits when roaming or traveling where Wifi is available too...
But....
This uses the minutes allocated in your service plan.... So being hacked to run on 3g would be pointless...
doesn't seem mines is having an connectivity issues YET. It says i'm connected to my home network but that i can't use wifi-calling because the network is too weak.
I would just like to be able to use the phone in my apartment where I don't have service. To have to put it on a Froyo that doesn't work completely is out of the question though. Hopefully, someone smarter than me can get it working on JI6.
Just loaded Froyo, it doesn't seem to be working. Just says enabling....
EDIT: Maybe it does work. When I turn it on my signal goes from 1 bar to 5 bars.
Figures, it works perfect downstairs with wifi off and with wifi on. Its hard to tell if wifi calling is working or not because tmobile did fix my signal a little last week.

Well it might, because thats how it worked on the Blackberry. It switched to UMA and had full bars.
Honestly when I turn it off it goes to 0 - 1 bars the second i turn it on I get 5 bars.

Release notes would be great. Photon WIFI/VPN is putting out extra packets which are then blocked by some routers. If the wireless router is used as a router and not an AP and IP6 is disabled, the problem seems to be corrected (i.e.: no reconnection failures in over a week when it used to happen every 2/3 days. See motorola photon forum for more details.)
My wifi seems to work pretty good at work and at home. I havent noticed the phone constantly scanning but I havent been looking for it either.
as of today my phone will not connect to wifi at all... release notes and date would be very much appreciated.

Me either always works and works great, also pretty fast as well. My issue is the voice/3G radio locking up and then the phone reboots.
so it seems some are having a WIFI issue and others voice/3G... rather odd thing going on there.

I don't know if this is what the OP was asking but I was also curious as to whether the wi-fi tethering was the same in cm9 as it was in cm7?
i'd say use cautiously. they can track the IP, and they may send you a nasty gram. if they do, stop doing it.
Also, keep in mind that AT&T is now throttling your unlimited connection so it may not do you a whole lot of good to do this..

The only people who are going to get throttled are the people who are using crazy amounts of data... like gigabytes on top of gigabytes. My friend works for att and told me they only screen users who are going above 10 gigabytes a month. At least for now...

I have a question about the data...I can't really afford to get a data plan for 2 years even though I am available for an upgrade at this moment. I will talk to my mom about it too, but the main question is ; say I bought a used Amaze 4g, will it still function right without the 3g/4g? I heard somewhere some phones wont even boot without data or something like that...if thats false dont laugh at me :| but yeah, could someone please answer this question for me? My HTC HD2 is starting to get on the bad side now :\ Thank you.
it will work fine without data, heck you will get amazing battery life as 3g/4g uses alot more power. You wont recieve weather updates and some widgets wont function properly, but as a phone and a media device it will work flawlessly! enjoy your amaze

When I'm sitting at my desk, my phone (Droid X2) will have 4-5 bars with 3g showing. I place a call, 3g goes away(as expected) and I get 1 bar and I lose calls... Why would it fall back to a weaker signal to place a voice call? I understand that data can voice can't happen at the same time on a CDMA signal... But this drastic a difference for calls?
Hi, how do you hold it? After having started to grab it higher and leave the lower part with the antenna out of my palm, it cured it's signal issues.
Best regards,

V you have the x2 confused with an iphone this phone will keep almost the exact same signal if you wrap it completely in both hands. This is a software issue that usually only happened on stock and confuses the hell out of verizon reps. I would recommend a SBF to 2.3.4 and then going with cm7/cm9 for a ROM

Try changing your mobile networks settings. See if a different setting of roaming changes the behavior. You might find you are roaming on data and picking up a nearby out of network 3g tower then when you go to voice it favors a more distant in-network tower. Also download the app OpenSignal and see what that tells you about local towers.
And switch from bars to text for your signal, a real number will tell you things a set of bars really can't

Return it and get another phone while you still can. If you read on here long enough you'll see the many problems that arise from this POS phone. If you are going to stay with it you will probably be forced into a custom ROM just to make it work right. Memory is one of the main culprits that keep this phone from performing well. Every other phone that has come out since then that has 1GB of memory or higher has either had an opportunity to get more updates or better performing custom ROMs.
