Two things,

How you have your router configured can have a huge impact on how well wifi calling works. Read into QoS and configure accordingly.

Second, some parts of the country are served by some back-end hardware that is having some issues.

And yes it has problems, but which other wireless carrier does it better?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bblanski:
Didn't have any problems on stock kernel, switched to trinity 37 and had the in and out voice, tried faux kernel and it is better again. Stock rom otherwise
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] option94:
I could do QoS better with a switchboard than most home routers.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MMakoto:
mine was fine for the first couple of weeks use, but started having problems after. when i pick up a call, the screen freezes most of the time, the other times when it actually picks up the call-the other caller can't hear me but i can hear them, not to mention the echoes as well. called tmo tech support a couple of times with no avail except to tell me to do a warranty exchange of the device. i sure do miss my gs2 on this part.

Can you change WifiCalling settings?

Is it possible to change he apn etc in the wificalling function? I am UK need based and want to buy and unlock a US-T-mobile and use it with Orange UK wifi settings (and Orange sim)

Orange, the only WIFI Calling carrier here, sell the S3 without Wifi calling... If you guys have a better work around to suggest I would love to hear.

Thx!

I had issues with calls cutting out really bad when I was on FreeGS3, but I was also on Trinity 37 kernel, so that could have been it. I'm on Wicked Blue ROM now, it comes with a Trinity kernel, and my Wi-Fi calling is excellent...as is the ROM!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ipaq_101:
You know that this seems to be a kernel issues, A37 seems to have issues with wifi calling, the Wicked Blue Rom has A23. I just flashed the Faux009 kernel and tested wifi calling and no issues now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] skyandriod:
the wifi calling really so bad, i use stock rom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hd2Raz:
Honestly I heavily rely on wifi calling and it's pretty crummy on my GS3.

It used to suck on my Sensation as well and I think I found the solution. I logged into my.t-mobile account online and updated my 911 address and voila wifi calling is always solid on the Sensation. Does not seem to have had the same impact on the GS3. Might be something worth looking into though.

If this helps let us know and hit the thanks button.

I will say that it does seem to be better after flashing the Wicked ROM (in blue). Connects faster and stays connected. Was able to answer a call the other day.

Try this:

Root phone and flash Trinity Kernel 45b. I was on stock and the other kernels and had a lot of issues with wifi. Now everything is fine. Web pages FLY!!!!!! I tried wifi calling with a really crappy wifi router and it still worked! Definitely try this version of the kernel.

---------- Post added at 01:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 AM ----------

You definitely have to get off that thing. The wifi sucks on stock so much. Maybe leave stock rom but try the trinity kernel 45b. Epic wifi.

---------- Post added at 01:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 AM ----------

There have been some outages and such lately but there is something ****ty in the phone when it comes to wifi and wifi calling. On stock it was working ****ty at work with crappy router that was slow but everything at least connects to it. This phone wouldn't connect or stay connected and wifi calling didn't work at all. Once I tried trinity kernel 45b, it's flying. When I mean flying, I mean that my computer core i7 with 16GB of ram can't even touch it. It's not running overclocked either, just stock cpu speed but damn it's flying!!!

Hi all,

You may or may not know me. I'm kind of a recluse (post when there's stuff that needs to be said). I've been a part of the E4GT since day one. The E4GT community is one that can be summed up in two words: Dastardly Fantastic. I'm going to name drop some people here whom I have much respect for and will miss dearly.

chris41g: You've become a good friend and I greatly enjoy reading your horrible auto posts on twitter. It was you that helped me learn the ins and outs of the E4GT. Even when you put a ; in the wrong place in the first CWM build for our phone.

ninpo, cnz(roadragen), bubby323: none of you are still around (these forums) but it was a pleasure working with you. If it wasn't for this group of people we wouldn't have pulled the original initframs off of my phone and compiled a zImage for people to restore back to stock. Regardless, ninpo you're the man, cnz your a narcasistic prick ******* and I do miss you on IRC harassing everyone. As for Bubby you copy cat kanger, I hope you aren't allowed to own another android phone.

Sbrissen, Darchstar, Team Rogue: awesome testing for you guys. You really take feedback and your users seriously.

Oddlou: For saving my life, literally. Seriously I was killing myself, and you helped me see something inside me I'd had all along... Courage and Strength.

Shabbypenguin: for being there when no one else was and pushing to keep development on this great phone.

Milenko & Team Troll: keep on trollin! Why? Because you jelly bro?

xInterloper777x: for helping me for 12 hours straight after being the 2nd blue light brick before we figured out it was impossible to fix.

PhantomPhreak53 & autoprime: for answering all my stupid questions, that if I'd only read my IRC logs I'd have the answers I sought I'd find. all the time and being good guys all around.

Jay Harper: for being a professional waste management thread cleaner and for taking out the trash. (Seriously we are all here for a common goal. It's okay to have disagreements but please back up your thoughts with facts or educated opinions... if you have none its probably not worth posting. The thanks button says thanks for you... it doesn't need another reply)

T.C.P.: You've been a real help and not just to me. Your outgoing attitude is what makes these communities thrive.

Team Venum/Blu Kuban/Calkulin/etc.: All you devs that are willing to work together. Even of I don't know of you personally... keep it strong.

So many more experiences and people to mention... if I've forgotten you don't take it personal we just probably weren't all that close.

Everyone on #ics-dev-e4gt and #jb-dev-e4gt theze channels won't go away. I'm still going to be there talking to you all.

Sucks I have to go all the way to Verizon but I hope to bump into you all sometime... who knows maybe you will brick and end up with my refurb as a refurb.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] T.C.P:
Umm forgot about me..... and the triangle away app :p have fun on Verizon...no more ****ty speeds :)

LOL just kidding Pyrostic. Have fun on Verizon!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
Verizon huh... I'm already jealous of the speeds :(

Even though I don't know you, it seems like you are a well respected member of the community so it's sad to see you gone. Farewell.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pyrostic:
Your sure right I did forget about you! Sorry man. You've been a real help and not just to me. Your outgoing attitude is what makes these communities thrive.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
So long pyro, you could've been "my ni**a", but that's OK, lol

Has anyone got 4G working on AOKP milestone 5?

The 4g toggle doesn't work if that's what you're trying. You can use the 4g widget or go into the 4g settings. Why don't you update to milestone 6?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamice4u:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amalehumanbeing:
What does DPI mean and what does it do? I've seen it thrown around quite a bit and would like to now what it is all about. Also, what's a good DPI number for a tablet UI instead of the phone UI? Someone said 160 but that makes the display all weird... :p
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smt8544:
DPI stands for dots per inch. Changing the DPI in android doesn't change anything physically with the screen nor does it output at any different resolution. By telling android that your screen has a lower DPI, you are actually just making it think your screen size is bigger and 'tablet sized'. Therefore it will display the tablet interface. The DPI to get tablet interface will differ on each device but 160 on the Nexus 7 should do it.

Hope that helps!

Hi I'm new here, just made an account 5 minutes ago.

I need help with getting CM7, CM9 or any other Custom Rom on my Xperia Play R800X VERIZON. I am Rooted, and have an Unlocked Bootloader. I was able to flash a UK version of the Xperia Play android version 2.3.3 Rom to make sure my bootloader was unlocked. The UK version was nice but it wasn't for me.

Just trying to get CM9 on my phone! but for some reason I'm having a really hard time doing so.

If anyone can help me or give me advice it would be much appreciated, I'm just trying to make use of my unlocked Bootloader! D:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agraceful:
Download the rom, extract the kernel then place the rom on the root of your sd card. flash kernel with flashtool, boot into recovery, WIPE EVERYTHING, flash rom and gapps. They have instructions on how to install on 99% of the threads.. good luck :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia Player:
Thanks for the reply!

Is there a "best" if you will, ROM or Kernel for the Xperia Play? I'm just trying to get the most out of my device. Also how do I get the gapps you mentioned?

I've done this a few times already but the main problem for me is: I get the kernel working, get into recovery, but when I got to apply/ flash the ROM I always seem to get and error message of some sort. Its very aggravating. I've been checking all over the internet for a solution but nothing so far, I've been awake for almost 48 hours now looking for a solution -.-

Thanks

But for some reason NONE of this is working for me :/

I can flash a stock ftf file via flashtool no problem. I can enter recovery via X-parts app no problem. But when it comes to flashing the kernel via flashtool & unzipping the rom file via recovery they always report back an error message which leaves my phone completely useless or stuck on a boot loop which I then have to re flash stock rom to have a working phone again.

Hopefully that made sense lol, I have TeamViewer if anyone can help me thru that possibly idk I'm out of ideas...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solar.Plexus:
To flash kernels, I use Fastboot instead of FlashTool. If course if you choose that route, you'll need to set up Fastboot.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solar.Plexus:
Did you get the files downloaded? If so place them in a folder on your PC together.

Power your phone off. Then power on while holding the search button. You should see the blue LED on top of your phone which means you are in Fastboot mode.

Try that much and report back, then we can work on actually flashing the kernel.

Firstly, are you using Windows?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia Player:
Yes windows XP professional.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solar.Plexus:
Connect your phone to PC in Fastboot mode (should have the blue LED). Then go to start menu, choose run, type in CMD, hit enter. That should bring up a command prompt.

Then use the cd command to navigate specifically to where your Fastboot files are found.

So for example, if your files are in a folder called "fastboot", then the command would be:

cd c:\fastboot

Once you get there, input this command:

fastboot devices

All that does is shows if your device(s) are in and connected to Fastboot.

Report back after getting this far.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia Player:
fastboot is not recognized as an intern or external command operable program or batch file.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solar.Plexus:
Hmmm, if you have the Fastboot files in that folder, I'm not sure what the problem could be.

Then try fastboot.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aDigitalPhantom:
in the folder of fastboot.exe

create a shortcut to cmd and name it

now right click on it and click properties then delete everything from the "Start in:" box (see pic)

what this does is make a shortcut that opens a command prompt IN the folder of the shortcut

may look different for different versions of windows

Thanks for all the replies, last night before I went to bed I noticed something.....for some reason I didn't have a fastboot.exe in my folder! So i did a quick google search for it, and put it in C:\Flashbot now im getting a command prompt screen! Yay finally one step closer! I've yet to turn off my computer, I fear if I turn it off it might do something I don't like lol. Ok, so, since I now have a command prompt screen... I guess my question now would be, how & where do I put the boot.img and how do I run it.

P.s. What does the r800x goodies file contain exactly. I planed on downloading it but now it appears fastboot is working
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paxChristos:
Put the boot.img in the same folder as fastboot

Flash it to your device by doing this

fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot boot.IMG

(If it works,) You don't need my SDK files, but,

R800x goodies contains my (outdated) releases of Codename Android, Team Gummy & cm9 ROMs.

Once I get my desktop setup I'm gonna try a last release of CNA before I focus on cm10 (and hopefully bring CNA & Gummy up to JB)

In the cm10 pre-alpha folder is a cdma cm10, but you'll need a newer kernel/WiFi modules for WiFi (I'm running 7/29 with Supervenom kernel/WiFi modules)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia Player:
ok so when I run command prompt and type FASTBOOT I get a list of commands, now when I type fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot boot.IMG I get the same list of command?? I think im realllllly close to actually getting a custom kernel if you can supply me with more help or another solution it would be appreciated
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solar.Plexus:
You shouldn't be getting the same list after you input the flash command. Now try the

fastboot devices

command to see if your XPlay is connected.

Also, make sure you already changed directory to where your fastboot files are. This would be the "cd" command.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia Player:
I powered off my phone, held down search to enter fastboot mode (blue LED) then typed fastboot devices..... but nothing happened, no error messages or anything...?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paxChristos:
No,

the list of commands are displayed when either incorrect or no arguments (what comes after fastboot) are passed to the executable.

Try

fastboot -i 0x0fce getvar version

See if that pops up anything.

If it doesn't work, download the windows-exes-and-dlls.zip outta my mediafire & use that one.
