Galaxyguy Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Haven't gotten the update yet either. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SturgeonGeneral Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Update received overnight and installed this morning.Find the app in the app list, run it.Intro screen, terms of service screen, e-signature.Then you have to turn the toggle on, select and add each Wi-Fi network individually, and assign a 911 address to each of them. (You can do this by a "current location" button.)It also adds itself to the connections menu so you don't need to use the app icon.Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SturgeonGeneral Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 New Wi-Fi calling iconSeems to indicate you have set up the current network for the service. Blue and white icon in the systray.In a call it says "Wi-Fi call". A similar all blue icon displays above that text.See image.Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SturgeonGeneral Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Signal check also indicates that it sheds you off the system completely. No cell connect. LTE disconnected, ehrpd via Wi-Fi takes over. Seems to me that it is effectively making any wireless network capable of being an Airrave? I'll have to play with it some more, but I suspect that since it is using ehrpd, it is also capable of voice/data simultaneously. I'll see for sure when I get home again.

Galaxyguy Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 It appears Sprint is doing a slow roll out on this update. With how few S4T phones that are out there, I assumed this would be quick. Apparently I was wrong. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk Yes. Verified. I connected to a call and could surf normally. I did notice a bit of audio degradation but it was still comparable to a normal rural call quality. This should open the door to VoLTE. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxyguy Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I got the update overnight but every time I click on the wifi calling app, it goes into a device self service screen, and then says it can't activate and I need to take the device to the nearest Sprint store. Any ideas? I tried to restart but that didn't work. I also tried clicking on the app with wifi on and off.

I suspect something got boogered up in the install process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxyguy Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I called customer service and they couldn't figure it out. I even did a factory reset and that didn't work either. I guess I'll have to make a trip to the store today. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock 505 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 The Sprint forums are saying to call Sprint and have wifi calling activated-couldn't confirm because I'm waiting on update for regular s4 Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SturgeonGeneral Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Strange. I didn't need to do that. My setup went flawlessly and I didn't need to do anything other than follow the on-screen instructions. Must be something was already set correctly on my account.

teeitupmo Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I have a 720T S4..installed the WiFi Calling the morning it was released. It works perfect. You mentioned the WiFi calling failed to initialize. Most of the time, I have no problems, but every once in a while, the S4 won't register a WiFi. From what I gather, it depends on the WiFi router. I haven't figured out a pattern yet. Once I do, I will post. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxyguy Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 After going to the Sprint store and since they had no idea what to do, they called a high level tech support. That person told the store employee it is a "provisioning" problem and it may resolve itself later but they couldn't provide any additional help. To be clear, as soon as I open the wifi calling app, I hit proceed and then it won't go any further. It tells me to go to a store or call customer service.

teeitupmo Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 The provisioning should have happened right after the WiFi calling update was applied. Personally, I would wipe the S4 clean...have the network re-provision your device. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I would've known ahead of time because it would've saved me 2 hours in loading everything back on my phone.

teeitupmo Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 That means your account is provisioned. Its probably the router. Try a a few free wifi that don't require a browser login. Some routers need SIP enabled on port 5060 for wifi calling Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxyguy Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 They tried the router in the store and it didn't work there either. I can't even get to the screen to accept the terms and conditions. I doubt it even matters at that point. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxyguy Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Other than wifi calling not working for me, I also noticed the Sprint Zone app is messed up. It shows up as Mobile Zone with an Android character. When I click on it, it doesn't do anything either.

teeitupmo Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Sounds like your phone might be defective. Where did you buy this phone? Sprint Zone always works on Sprint smartphones. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
