There should be a check box in the same screen wifi was initiated in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zaventh:
Nope... I see only two checkboxes... Wifi (Enable/Disable) and Network notification... below that is WPS button conneciton and then the list of wireless networks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jjday7:
I appreciate you looking onto it. That sucks if that option isn't or doesn't become available.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BiGMERF:
i took mines back because of this and hotspot being blocked.. grrrrr
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Okay back i called t-mobile a couple of times. They thought the people were talking about sip, skype, voip calling. Not the wifi calling that t-mobile made. The one that seem to most tech savy rep said there will be a patch to add it but don't know when it will come. The amaze 4g already has it build in under wireless settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jjday7:
Not enough for me to return the phone but really need that option. Oh well....now we wait
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zaventh:
For kicks I installed Kineto (Wifi Calling app) and tried to run it... immediately FCs. Oh well. Perhaps this feature can be "unlocked" with a custom ROM that re-adds SIP support to the device. I thought I read somewhere that it is excluded by default.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
we would have to wait till samsung makes a wifi calling as the one we have now uses htc libs. Sip support is there just not wifi calling for t-mobile sip comes with all gingerbread phones.

This phone is lightyears better than the LG.. if you've waited this long, and with news that the amaze received the update - effectively giving us the best idea that weve had that wifi calling is around the corner for us, why couldn't u just wait little longer??

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zonly1:
Here is the thing..I came from a BB 9700 and the ONLY thing I miss is UMA. Why? Seamlessness! I could start a call on WIFI and leave it and keep my call! Then I went to a G2 and lost that feature; start a WIFI call and loose it when I'm out of WIFI range...ugh! If I get that back, I now own the ultimate device!

For now, Google Voice is my lame hero until UMA really comes to Android.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mojorisin7178:
hey what LG are you refering to? I have had the g2x since its launch and got lucky with one of the good ones. I have two things to say first the g2x is just as good as the sgs2 I have both it is just as fast hardware wise with less processing power and less RAM the tegra 2 is a great chip. The sgs2 is just a upgraded phone it has the faster network speed capabilities and a larger screen and the dev community is a little more active for it which is a real big plus and in the end I am now using the sgs2. Now with that said the second thing is this TMO and LG completly f*** ed up the G2x. First they promised a update that took for ever and then when they finally roll it out is is half-baked gingerbread they actually downgraded the phone with that update they took away the LG camera app which was the best camera app I have ever seen on any phone. It took the great devs of XDA to bring the lg camera to GB on the G2x. The update was only 2.3.3 WTF then they just finally update the O2x to GB in italy and they get a really nice version of it with 2.3.4 colorized menus and the LG camera it is the same phone. Even the trac-phone version of the G2x I forget the model number for it but even it got 2.3.4!!! dam They abruptly stopped that GB update because people were haveing problems and it was bricking phones because they cant even figure that out. Now they just started the update again last week and it is the same ****y Identical in every way update as before!!! I am really glad I got the sgs2 so I dont have to deal with that crap I mean I still will because I will not stop flashing on that phone but my sim card wont be going back in that phone unless I break my sgs2. Sorry for the rant my point dont buy LG they are really stupid stick with samsung.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] escrowdog:
What will be the protocol for getting the update on our rooted phones (I'm on Juggernaut 3.7) Will the developers just integrate the feature within their updates or will we need to flash back to stock? Unfortunately I REALLY need wifi calling my location.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] esincho:
They will incorporate the update
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kwstryk3r:
I need wi-fi calling too. My signal is pretty sketchy in my apartment. Sometimes I have it sometimes I don't.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
When a phone has to be pull off the shelves because of countless problems. I don't think it is that good of a device. In no way lg even close to a samsung galaxy s2. Xda was the reason the phone got saved. I don't even think tmobile offers you it. If you trade in your phone to much to get a replacement its probably a sensation or mytouch 4g slide.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jasontx:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] danielblakes:
let me just say that in my 6 years with T-Mobile i have learned two things.

1. If you want something that WILL NOT cost T-Mobile any money (i.e. a new phone upgrade before your upgrade time with a contract extension), go to a T-Mobile store, ask for the manager, and let them know the problem. If they seem unconcerned, go to another store. If they sympathize with you, ask them to call their employee customer service line and see if there's anything they can do. This will get you an early upgrade, a refund on incorrect billing, a promotion from yesterday, etc.

2. If you want something that WILL cost T-Mobile money (i.e. a new phone, free, with no contract extension), go to corporate. Send in a letter to the corporate office, addressed to the president. E-mail corporate that it is coming. Call in and ask for confirmation that it arrived, and wait.

Source: My Free, No-strings Galaxy S II with 1.5 years left on a two year contract AND no extension or plan change.

If you can get to a real person, it's just that - a real person. You just have to climb the corporate ladder to get to a real person who both is considerate and understanding AND has the authority to get **** done.

So I got my update 4 days ago, I am running 3.7 Juggs so I didn't update. My fiancé also has this phone but completely stock and has not received the update... We live in the same house... Anyone have any idea why she hasn't received the update or how I can get it for her?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ronin4740:
For S&G's I called TMobile Customer care and asked if there was any truth to the rumor that it only works with the included SIM card.

The answer I got was "Yes, it only works with the newer style SIM card but it's not there yet. There'll be an update in the near future which adds a redesigned, more robust and stable WiFi Calling App".

Since it's not there I tend to believe that the App wasn't ready at phone launch and that we'll get a text message or see a post on the Tmobile forums that the app can be downloaded sometime in the coming weeks/months.

Again, that's the word from the Customer Care agent I spoke with... You can choose to believe or disbelieve :)

Interesting that it doesn't include wi-fi calling. This is probably reason enough for me to get the HTC Amaze "Ruby" 4G over the Samsung Galaxy S2. Also, the front-facing camera was only 640x480 resolution, compared to the 1280x720 front-camera on the HTC Amaze 4G.

Oh well ... I was kinda holding out for this device.

Of all the bloatware that TMO adds, the wifi calling was the only truly useful app. And know we find out its not even on the phone:mad: The more I read the more discontent I am becoming. Resolution, wifi calling, hotspot, etc. Whats next? I'm definitely waiting for the Nexus Prime announcement.

i was thinking the same, why not try the apk from the vibrant? any one with a sgs2 want to try it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] teshxx:
With the wifi calling apk you need the lib files as well.

most of the stock fils have been pulled from the vibrant
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PhaethonPRIME:
Where do you place the lib files?

apk installs fine but of course FC's right away...

EDIT

Ah it looks like this apk (wifi calling via UMA?) may not work anyway..I just saw this posted by a T-mobile employee on the T-mobile support forum:

As of today's date (10/13/2011), the Galaxy S II from T-Mobile does not have the capability to make calls via Wi-Fi. The needed software is not yet available on the device.

The software will become avialable to users via a maintenance release at which time the device will then support this function. It's not a hardware change that is needed, but another bit of software that needs to be added to the phone.

The Wi-Fi calling that will be available on the device will be IMS-based (as opposed to UMA or GAN).

To use this new IMS-based Wi-Fi calling, you will need to switch to the new SIM card included in your device kit. You may switch now so you don't have to worry about switching later (and that's what I'd recommend doing to save you time later).

The date for this software release has not yet been announced, so stay tuned.

Anyone try yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] teshxx:
they go in system/lib. Atleast that's

the case in HTC sensation. Not sure those files are different, HTC vs Samsung.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PhaethonPRIME:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] teshxx:
There is. Use root explorer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zaventh:
Kineto is just not going to work on this phone. Even if you could get the app to run, which is highly unlikely, it's not going to connect without installing the T-Mobile UMA certificates into the trusted root store. This can't be done at the moment without root anyway. And even if you managed to get this far, in the end T-Mobile would still deny the phone connection to the UNC server since it is not registered as a valid UMA device. Otherwise, any rogue connection could authenticate to their core network and try and make SIP calls through it.

So my buddy got this phone yesterday and he says the T-Mobile rep took the sim out of the box and kept it as he already had 1 that looked the same... So does he really need the one out of the box or just a newer one in general???????????

I think that the main needed feature missing in this phone at this time for me is wifi calling... I dont understand why samsung or tmobile would leave this feature in such an amazing phone... I dont know if root is needed to put wifi calling in our phone. I read somewhere that the sim card came with phone is needed for wifi calling... But the representative who sold me phone kept the sim card...i dont know if that would make any difference...

wow that sucks. I called tmobile and said it wasn't right that the phone didn't come with the feature when all my documentation said it would. They gave me 400 minutes to be used as extra until the feature is available. I didn't call and rip anyones face off but I am a new customer and they figured they should do something to resolve it. Great customer service too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Adam7986:
I work for T-mobile Technical Care and here is the definitive answer:

Neither phone came with WiFi calling. There is new network infrastructure that enhances the quality and functionality of WiFi calling. There is a software patch that will be released for both phones in the near future that enables the option on both phones. After the patch, you have to use the new SIM card included with the phone. The SIM card is absolutely necessary to use the new feature. In fact, if you don't have it and call in, we will immediately check to see if that SIM card is being used. At least we should. From what we were told in training, this should all be completed within the first few weeks of launch, but after the whole G2X thing, who knows.

Do you want me to just throw this up in the SGSII general thread that I started over in the general forum? I figured it could one day become an FAQ as well so we'd have everything in one place. Just a thought
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dcam1075:
Here is what I have so far. Both the GSII and the Amaze will support WiFi calling with a future OTA update. They will both need to use the new style T-Mo SIM card to work. I just got off the phone with T-Mo technical Care and the rep I spoke to acknowledged that she had just completed her training for the new WiFi calling service. She put me on hold and checked with a supervisor, when she came back she said the functionality will be enabled by an OTA update that is scheduled to be pushed out starting on October 26th. Take that for what you will but it is usually a positive sign when a T-Mo technical care rep gives you an actual date.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jjday7:
It tells you that it's using your minutes but it actually does not. I'm sure the new app will correct that issue. I can see where it could be confusing because for the longest I stayed away from t-mobile because I always thought it would still take minutes.

Not yet. T-Mobile is making some changes to WiFi calling to make it more like blackberry wifi calling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KidTech:
I think, and I hope it continues, is that with wifi calling or atleast UMA on the BB phones you can use it overseas(when connected to WiFi, obviously) to call a domestic USA phone number or text a domestic USA phone number using your cell phone number and you wouldn't get charged for it. It's that wifi uma international feature you get to keep using your cell phone number that everyone has.

E.x. picture this: You are on vacation at a beach resort in Mexico for 10 days or up in the mountains in an Asian county and tmobile has informed you that the roaming rate is $1.49 per minute and $2.49 per minute, respectively, but luckily your hotel has WiFi and your phone has wifi calling/uma capabilities now you can forgo the roaming, connect to the wifi and use your cell phone number that everyone knows and calls you on and leaves voice messages on and texts/picture messgaes on without any additional charges.
