Hi. I bought a HTC one unlocked and i now have a Metro PCs sim in it. The gsm is working great except that inside my home i have poor reception. I would like to enable wifi calling on the phone but that feature/setting is missing. I did some searches and most posts say that it cannot be done unless the phone is bought from tmobile. Is this 100% true or is there a work around? I would love you help on this.

You need to be on an official T-Mobile ROM or a custom ROM that has T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling built in. Insertcoin and ARHD have it in their 4.3 JB custom ROMs.

Thanks much. Do you know how I can obtain those custom ROMs and how install/replace the ROM currently on the phone. I am new to this. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if those custom ROMs are available anymore since kit Kat has been available and everyone has updated to that on the international HTC One forums. Perhaps someone here can post it if they have it. Your other choice is to use the T-Mobile 4.3 RUU, but you need to be S-OFF and SuperCID to convert your One to a T-Mobile One (minus the AWS bands).

I was wrong, I normally browse the HTC One international forums and failed to browse this forum, but here's a 4.3 T-Mobile ROM with WiFi calling.

Thanks for the reply. I have locate the tmoblile ROM and downloaded it. I will try to do the work on the phone this weekend! Wish me luck. My technical background is with networking equipment...not phones! Google will be my best friend this weekend.
Just a question are ..there any custom ROMs that have been built with Kit Kat that support wifi calling that can be loaded unto the phone? I figure if I am going to "mess" with the phone may as well get the latest. Please let me know what you think?

T-Mobile has not released a Kit Kat based Sense ROM for the HTC One, so no WiFi calling yet on Kit Kat.

Yes as soon as tmobile officially release the Kitkat and the dev on here work on it. Unless they removed it on kitkat.

Thanks for the info. I found a copy of the android revolution v31. I am going to try that one and see how it goes. Thanks for all your help.

Firmware and Radio issues

Hi. Thanks for all your help thus far and I am really sorry for being a bother but I have one final question. I have done all the prerequisites for the ROM install. I am rooted, S-Off, SuperCID and everything else. I did one final check and I realized that my firmware and radio software is later than the one listed in the ROM. Can I still go ahead and do the update or will this cause a problem? I would love your advice on how to proceed.

Usually firmware and radio are optional, so the ROM should work even if you leave the firmware/radio alone.

Thanks much. I did it and now I have WIFI calling! I am using the T-Mobile ROM. When the Kit Kit ROM with wifi calling comes out I will upgrade to that one. It has been great working with you. Thanks a million...this forum is GREAT.

Joyn App

Doesn't Work, I even installed Metropcs Joyn and it says device not supported yet.

Hello, was this app installed at the MetroPCS store?

The reason I asked is because I just spoke with a metropcs rep, and he took his time to find the answer, but he said that if I bring my unlocked (non-t-mobile) phone to a store, they would add wifi calling even to an unlocked phone (mine is a nexus 4 with LTE enabled).

Thanks!

Hi. This was not an app. I had to flash the ROM to the tmobile ROM to get the feature. I followed the instructions on this forum.

Hi my name is luis. I just purchased an HTC One 64Gb International Version and I was wondering how i can do this and achieve the awesome speeds you posted? To my understanding you have Metro PCS service but T-Mobile Data speeds correct? Do i just take into a store and ask them to connect it to their GSM Network? Please help me with this I would greatly appreciate it

From what the other guy said, you would have to install a t-mobile rom then ask them to activate it on Metro PCS.

Frisco49erz · Apr 27, 2014

Thanks for the reply I truly appreciate it. I've been doing a lot of reading and searching forums and to my understanding the 64 Gigabyte developer version does not support the Bands required for T Mobile LTE speeds. I am being told I need to purchase an actual T Mobile version of HTC One and use it with my metropcs SIM card. Is there any way you can verify this for me?, if this is the case I would have to send this one back and purchase a 32 gig T Mobile branded version of the phone correct? Once again thank you for your reply it's much appreciated
