[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] t0ny0:
Yeah, i was thinking that its the kernel, because they did have to edit the kernel for the Nexus in order to have the app working.

Would be nice if either Hastarin or MDJ help us out here.. Would be highly appreciated :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bhilgeman:
I PM'd MichyPrima regarding this, haven't heard back yet. I'll send a PM to the other kernel devs and see if I can get them involved.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] t0ny0:
Any news from Hastarin or MDJ ?

Warning to everyone installing this app!

After having it installed on my phone for around 3 or 4 days my battery was dying very very fast. I had no clue why. Today I pulled up my battery usage info and it told me that this application was using 35% of the battery. Now that I've uninstalled it my CPU seems the be running at a normal speed and not killing my battery anymore.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hastarin:
Guys I'd love to help but there is only one of me, and only so many hours in the day.

At a glance this is based on the CM experimental kernel and ours is a LONG way from that, so not sure how possible it would be to port anyway.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] t0ny0:
Yes, thats the problem with it right now - it does not work, and when its installed on the device - its using 100% processor and it kills the battery in no time.

Just bumping this up so someone smarter than me can see it... :)

This would be really convenient to have on our HD2s

I personally live in a spot where I have to wander around holding my phone in a corner of the ceiling sometimes to get enough signal to send a text... but if I leave the house it's all bars.

Inside the house WIFI calling and texting would make the device perfect.

Thanks

Hastarin's word is god here...it is cm6 kernel based from the n1 and it's not likely that we can use the kernels interchangeably...would be nice though ...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] t0ny0:
So I guess its time to sell my lovely HD2 and get the nexus one :(

Edit: Isnt michiprima working on the n1 kernel ???
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] domineus:
you can...ask him...

Why don't you get the tmobile qik app. I video call on my hd2 all the time.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] t0ny0:
Because we are not talking about video calling, we are talking about WiFi calling, which means that you can send and receive calls, even if there are no signal bars. It is really good for everyone on t-mobile, because we all know how bad their signal is. Other than that - qik is a good app :D just not relevant to our issue.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] warrenb213:
bump. supposedly this isn't just limited to CM based kernel's anymore.

perhaps a dev could ask one of the nexus one kernel dev's about what changes were made? seems to revolve around the proper registration of the backend library file into the kernel.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] t0ny0:
I tried to contact michyprima about that issue, but I never got a reply from him.. and he is the guy that is dealing with CM.

Hastarin said that its a no-go.

Tried MDJ - no reply.

The problem is that its US based, and im not sure that any of the kernel devs are us based, so that might explain why this will probably never happen.

:(:(:(

github change to add required GAN transport to kernel

does this look to be something any of you kernel dev's wanna explore implementing?

i should also mention that the glacier kernel, which is based on 2.6.32, has this implemented now.....

also in the bravo kernel. link to module's .c below

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jwagner2468:
WiFi calling using Vonage Mobile.

I am not a DEV but I have this info to share about Vonage Mobile.

I have T-Mobile US and I am using the HD2 with NexusHD2-FRG83D_V1.8_Froyo_2.2.1.

For years I have used the Vonage Mobile App for Ipod Touch when traveling outside the US because it uses wifi for outbound calls. When I started using the HD2 with Android I remembered they had an Android app so I tried it a few weeks ago. In my office I have no signal and I wanted to see if it would work. It works well for me here as well as at home using wifi. Unfortunately, it only allows for out going calls but it solves half the issue until this gets fully working for us.

Important: It is slightly deceiving though as you have to sign up for a pay as you go account for INTERNATIONAL calls. It says nothing about it working for US outgoing calls for FREE. I have been working off of the initial trial 10 cents for 3 years now. I have never spent a penny for this.

Since I am new I can't post the URL for Vonage but I downloaded the app from the Market and signed up from there using my mobile number.

Hope this helps a little..

the more i look at this: IMPLEMENTING THE GAN TRANSPORT FOR CM

The more i think this really shouldn't be all that hard for a dev to at least attempt. it seems all this does is create the attachments in the kernel needed for the app to run.

Sorry for confusion. I meant to say that the version that I am working on is a nand version. I do not have it working yet. I just wanted to clarify as there are two different styles of android for the hd2.

I can't believe noone else is working on this. I have yet to really mess with a kernel's code but I believe that is the next step to getting this to work. If I get time I will learn how to do it and figure out what changes had to be done to the n1 to get it to work. The problem is it isn't my phone so I only have limited time where I can play with it.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tageeboy:
A little confused.

Forgive my lack of understanding here but I have yet to venture into VoIP calling on the phone as of yet. After installing MDJs_CyanogenMod7_v.2.5_NAND_A2SD on my TMOU US I noticed there was the option to install SKYPE from the market. I installed it and now when I select a contact from the contact list I get a pop up that asks if I want to use either SKYPE or dial normally. I assumed this ment that I could avoid using minutes and make VoIP calls as long as I had data signal. Is this not correct?

Or

Am I missing the point of this effort being able to make calls with WIFI and no actual TMobile signal of any sort being sent to the device except for local WIFI?

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this question because I too would love to take advantage of VoIP if possible.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] t0ny0:
Yup, its the second one.. We need something to use in our houses, that is using the t-mobile phone number, but we are not missing any calls. As we all know, t-mobile has a very weak signal. For example - i have 3-4 3G/H bars outside of my house, but once I get in - NOTHING. Not even edge. And thats just something that we all know - unlike ATT, where the signal is very strong and goes through walls with no problems - with T-mobile it really doesnt. So in order for us to still have a working phone /in my case my business is going through the phone sometimes/ - we need to have something like the WiFi calling.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] CiDhed:
It is working on my n1 with cm7. I wonder if you can flash the same update file to the hd2 and get it working?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=919486

I had to edit the script in his download so it worked with a density of 200 but it is worth a try on flashing it with a cm7 based hd2 rom. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. I don't have a hd2 to test it on today though.

:edit:

Forgot about system check. I will fix in a second. I have a hd2 I can mess with for a minute.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] CiDhed:
No luck so far. I configured the build.prop file and pushed all the libs and stuff from that package. Probably has to do with kernel.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Lint6:
All the people who said they'd try to get this working and Cid, who doesn't even own an HD2, is the only one who has attempted? I'm sure if enough people put their heads together, they could get this working easily
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] CiDhed:
Thanks. I am going to try to work with unforgiven512 in seeing if we can figure this out. I will see if I can borrow my friends hd2 one night next week so I can spend some real time with it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] t0ny0:
I wish you the best of luck, sir.

And thank you for spending your time on this :)

EDIT: I got the .zip that they are using for the nexus one CM7, tried to edit here and there, but... I just really suck in doing that :( I stopped, because I have no clue what im doing, and I dont wanna kill my precious HD2 ;)

As I was trying - I corrupted the MDJ build, and had to reinstall. I hope that someone that understands it can take a look at it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dylan Wilson:
taking an entirely misguided crack at it

I have a basic understanding of everything included in the zip but I pretty much just took out the line that makes sure it's the right phone and ran it through clockwork lol

no luck so far (surprising right?)

will keep playing with it and post if I have any breakthroughs
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] t0ny0:
Yeah thats exactly what I did too, and nothing worked. It only messed up the other internet calling app that comes with gingerbread.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rshabou:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
I have two HD2's, but if this is only to work on T-Mobile, then I cant help, I unlocked my phone and have it working on ATT, unless I can use this on ATT I cant help, so I'll ask the question even though I did already, is this only for t-Mo or can it work on ATT too if you guys get it to work?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] t0ny0:
Nope, only works for T-mobile ...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DemonLoader:
If there is something to install and test, I can help out. I don't know the first thing about writing it up, but I can test and dump data. I don't know much about Android either, I only installed it a while ago in hopes of an app like this and to use apps, but I stick to winmo as my main os. The version of Android I'm running is the darkstone SuperRAM Sense v0.1. Hope this getts up and running, would be killer to actually have service at home.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mammoth175:
I'll volunteer my HD2 as well, running MDJ's CM7 v2.6. Wish I could be of more help on the dev side, but I'll test anything out if it will be of use. I'm tired of not having service in my house, so I'll be switching phone and carrier if this doesn't work out anyway.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gamestar21:
Same here, I'm also running MDJ's CM7, and I am willing to volunteer my hd2 aswell.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] roloracer:
yeah we really need this working! it's amazing that so many people don't get a signal at home with tmobile, I'm in the same boat, I can get 1 bar on 3g in my bedroom but if I walk anywhere in my house I loose all of my signal or I'll pick up a couple of bars here and there depending on what part of my house I'm at, I've been with tmobile for 8 years and because of my hd2 I will stay faithful to tmobile signal or not, hopefully we can get this working so we can all enjoy our hd2's inside our homes.:D

I hope charansingh can add the Kineto Gan stuff soon; i'm anxious to see wifi-calling working on my leo. (:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] reddragon72:
I don't mean to bust anyone's bubble, but when I was trying to get this working on the Vibrant before the Froyo release the good people at Kineto sent me an email to let me know what the major changes were. The one that killed it was the radio. They said a hook had to be put into the radio so that the com.kineto.gan app can change the radio to allow forced switching from 3g. So I emailed back and asked if that meant that the app intercepted the radio switch and they said yes and that a modded radio had to be put into place to allow the app to switch the radio off but not allow the OS to see that the radio is off. So to implement this you have to have a compatible radio with the required extra's to allow the app to switch it off but not throw the switch to the OS.

I hope this helps a little.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pyrorob:
Ok, now on top of having compatible radio software installed on the device, THE HARDWARE HAS TO BE COMPATIBLE TOO, meaning the radio chip. WiFi calling uses UMA, all the devices from tmo that you see that have WiFi calling have UMA equipped radios, THE HD2 DOES NOT, therefore it will never, ever, ever be able to work on this device..

Not to mention the fact that you have to be using UMA capable router too, that tmo sells or leases (i have one :) but not for this reason, it was to install dd-wrt on it) and also be subscribed to WiFi calling on your account.

WiFi calling btw, was designed so that when your home you can use your home internet to make/receive calls and not get minutes deducted from your cell plan.

if you want to read up on it:

http://www.umatechnology.org/overview/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_Access_Network

http://www.mobileburn.com/definition.jsp?term=UMA

and to top it off, google "tmobile uma" and youll find some articles that tmo may be dropping uma support in some time.

so, sorry to burst whats left of your bubble.

Oh, and very nice just posting a link with no other explanation whatsoever, am i supposed to be a mind reader too?

but i can see that they got it working with a non-tmo specific router so i guess that big wrt54g-tm router i have with the big tmobile sticker on the top, isnt absolutely necessary then (figures tmo would fudge some facts to push hardware sales) and i see it does deduct minutes, which from my understanding, wasnt supposed to be implemented when they first released this service, but eh, whatever, there greedy.

But anyways, thanks for playing.

Haha, no not trying to stress your clairvoyance m8, just figured I'd give you the respect of assuming you could figure out what I was getting at (which you did), and I wasn't trying to push an argument, nor convince you, just my thoughts that it works on hardware not specd for it from the provider, and from 'my' readings UMA "isn't" hardware dependent specifically, but I'm gonna assume (again), that your grown, and can form your own opinion, since there is no specific facts to substantiate either claim.
