Is there any way to get T-Mobile USA wifi calling working on AT&T Atrix 4G?
I believe this will need some modification with the kernel.. not too sure though.

Yes I am. I got the SIM unlock code from AT&T (free) yesterday. And now trying to get wifi calling to work. T-Mobile offers free unlimited wifi calling and I use that feature all the time.

from what i can tell about TMo's wifi calling is it requires kineto apk and some lib files. may not work at all on the atrix
Is it possible to get those lib files from other phones?
Sorry I dont know the answer to your question, but I'm curious about what your data connection is like with the atrix on tmob. Only getting edge?

possibly. if you want to go over to one of the tmobile based phone forum (G2/Desire Z, Glacier, etc) and find the appropriate files. there may need to be changes in build.prop too, i dont remember.

thats the only thing that you can get on TMo with these phones. their 3g/4g runs on different frequencies that we cant access from this phone.
Thanks pirate, I will give it a try in the glacier thread. I used to have a mytouch 4g.

I've been offered a SUPERB price on an unlocked AT&T Galaxy S II - but I am a T-Mobile customer.
With that in mind - would that phone be able to utilize 3G/4G on T-Mobile, or would it be locked to EDGE?
Just curious - since I use WiFi in the office as well as at home.
Thanks for any feedback!
Edge only. No 3g

Thats not what hes asking. Hes not asking how to unlock it, hes asking that once the phone is unlocked, if it has the 3G/4G bands for T-Mobile... and that answer is no.

I think you missed understood the question.
@ JWhipple - Pirateghost already asnwer your data connection, your wifi should not be affected. Your wifi connection will depends on what wifi you have at the location and the type of wifi connection (IE: b,g, or N). Wifi will automatically takes over when you are at the office and home.
No AT&T phone other than the Skyrocket allows 3G/4G speeds on T-Mobile, and that requires a modem flash.
There's a slight chance the AT&T Note might if you flash a Canadian Bell modem.
You are limited to edge because the chip used doesn't support the 3g bands used by T-Mobile. Tmobile's version of S2 has a different chip.

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.

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
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.

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?
I have an unlocked Samsung galaxy note i717 and was wondering does it support T-Mobile 3g because I never get 3g its always edge and sometimes 4g it sucks so if anyone knows or know a way I could get 3g to come on that would be great thanks alott
No one has tried that yet -- you're the first to ask! Now I'm wondering too.
My guess is you'd have to flash a t-mobile compatible radio. Maybe get the radio from the t-mobile Blaze 4G galaxy phone, because its the same modem chip as the note, is my guess. You'd probably have to input the APN settings, most likely they aren't included in our Rom.
Good luck and let us know if that works.

Yes, that's a good start. But my guess Is you have to install/flash a t-mobile compatible modem because the two networks use different bands for data.
OK thanks I'll try that do you suggest any modems I should try?

Start with the Blaze 4G galaxy phone modem over in the development section. Its a zip file so you need to have a custom recovery (CWR or TWRP). Don't forget the APN settings after you flash.
I think I tried that one before and I didn't get any service at all but I'll give it another try

That modem is from a tmobile 4G phone. If its going to work, that's your best shot.

Hey I'm confused. Are you trying to get your Note to work on Tmobile? Why are you trying to get 3G instead of the 4G and LTE?
I'm mot trying to just get 3g but my location it switches from edge straight to 3g my phone won't pick up 3g no matter what I do I'm just tryna get that figured out

Ok, you already get data on tmobile network but you don't like the inconsistent speed.
You can try different modems. But in the end, you may just be in a poorly covered region and will have to live with it.
Anyone have any insight on what is required or if possible to have wifi calling on an unlocked/rooted VZW Note II running on TMO network?

I was trying to get it working on a Verizon ROM I really liked. There were 3 libs and two apks I found linked to it.i never did get it working because there's also frame work references to it. Have you tried a tmo ROM to see if it would work?

I considered that but I am enjoying JellyBeans 14 w/Saber 21 far too much LOL
I may just sell the sch-i605 and pick up a retail boxed TMO version if I do anything. I also used the S4 for a couple of hours it I really cant get over the larger screen and real estate of the Note II ; so I wouldnt consider it an "upgrade". My Note II with an Antutu of 19K+ I really dont have any true use for the faster CPU of the S4 right now......

please correct me if i am wrong but i don't think this is even close to possible as wifi calling is not necessarily as software hack but this is something actually built into tmo mobile spectrum similar to like vzw's using data while on a phone call, i recall a verizon rep telling me this.

From what I have dug up and seen thus far its basically a SIP client with tmo ties back to the android framework. It has nothing to do with the tmo spectrum aside from which band your transmitting over as it is a glorified VoIP client from anything I can tell.

Not "in the spectrum". It connects to the carrier over the internet, the normal cellular signal isn't involved at all. It requires both a helper app and framework support for it to happen though, and that stuff would only be present in the T-Mo firmware.
Here's a brief primer on it: http://www.wificalling.net/whatiswificalling/

The part you're referring to is actually controlled by the sim card. But add stated there's a lot else just to get it running

There is a lot of stuff in the framework that needs added as well, on top of the APKs and LIBs. I believe most of it is in framework2.jar.

You are def right. Was pouring through the tmo apk and then the decompiled framework2 and see its in IPCallTracker , IPPhoneProxy , IPUtils , WifiCallSwitchPreference and score of other places.....
This will not be a simple apk and lib drop .
