Emergency Calls

I hope this hasn't been asked already, I did search and found nothing.
When you lock the phone with a PIN, it will still allow you to make an "emergency call." Is there any way to add a number to the list of allowable calls? Also, is there a way to change the text that pops up that says "emergency phone calls can be made"?
Thanks!

I think there is one, but will do you no good, because you got no signal. Mabe you are looking for a in/out call manager mabe ?

I don't know that

This is set inside the kernel. It is part of the FCC and govt regulations. Dont think you will be able to change it.

Damn, thanks!

Found theese Regkeys in WM6:
HLM/Security/ECall
HLM/Security/EcallWithoutSIM
HLM/Security/ECallWithSIM
Just add your wished numbers to the List, and softreset the device...

Those who use Google Voice for vm notification

I'm currently on the one of the Bamf preview roms and as such do not receive notifications for voice mails while the phone is on. I've read from a few people that they use google voice for as a way to deal with this issue. I set up a GV account but whenever I try to set my voicemail to google voice it says it's not allowed by my carrier or something like that. Has anyone else run into that problem or can someone who has set it up just walk me through what steps you took? TIA

The setup in the google voice app doesn't work... it wont run "auto setup" for you. You can set it up manually.... instructions can be found by google... which I had to do when I setup my phone to use google voice for my voicemail. Hope this helps
DIRECTIONS:
1. Find your activation code in the list below.
2. Enter the first code exactly as written, as if you're dialing someone. Replace [GVnumber] with your GV phone number. For example, if your GV phone number is 203-555-1212, and your service is CellCom, then you would enter *682035551212.
3. Press "Send" or "Talk" or "Enter" on your phone to dial that number.
4. If multiple codes are given, repeat steps 2 & 3 for each code. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
5. After following the steps above, try calling your mobile phone from another phone and leave a voicemail. The message should appear in your GV inbox!
Wireless Carrier or Network ---> Activation Code
Verizon (CDMA network): *71[GVnumber] AND *90[GVnumber] AND *92[GVnumber]
Verizon (TDMA Network): *74[GVnumber] and *73[GVnumber]

Or you could just go to http://voice.google.com
sign in, go to settings, and dial that *68 number then it will text you or call you with an activation code. that's how i did it

Quick question, why not just go into Settings-->Call-->Voicemail Settings and change it there? Does that work? Right now it is set to *86 for me.

The "activation code" is really enabling "no answer transfer"- a feature on vzw's end that forwards your call to Google if you don't answer.
Changing it in settings will not accomplish this, your calls will still go to your old vm provider.

Ok, I need help. I've tried both ways and nothing is working. When I try to call my voicemail from GV from my computer it says invalid number. And I tried using the first method and that didn't work. Now when someone gets my vm they hear "please enter the number you want to call followed by the # sign". What did I do wrong and how can I fix it???

[Q] Dialer Codes

Has anyone looked into any device specific codes for this phone?

*#06# - imei number
*#61# - Call forwarding status
##002# - Erase forwarding number
*43# - Activate call waiting
#43# - Deactivate call waiting
*#*#4636#*#* - Testing Menu
*#*#8255#*#* - Gtalk
Here's all the ones I have tested and working on the MT4GS - it was something I got into a long time ago (relatively, only had the phone since august 5th...6th?) and forgot about with everything else i've been trying to do.
Testing menu is probably the only thing that *may* help you, but maybe not.
Wish I had more to give.
If anyone else knows of any codes that work - mind posting them?

Just quoted myself from the thread this was buried in instead of waiting until I get home to look up my notes again.

Yes everyone has, please use the search.
You have to do it manually using the keypad to enter in the code. There are instructions on the google voice site.
Your phone will still say it's using the carrier provider for voicemail but if you call your phone Google Voice should pick up.

"Voicemail Settings" in the menu just refer to which service your phone will dial when you call voicemail, like when pressing and holding #1. For your incoming calls to be routed to your Google Voice, you need to look in "Call Forwarding", that's where it needs to be correct. Just using the *004*yourgooglevoicenumber# code will change your call forwarding settings.

Question Got a call from "None" today, weird happenings

I cant find where to post this, this website changed so much, but it was on my new s22 ultra so....
I got a call from "NONE" the 'number' beneath it was "NN".
No voice on the other side, and I attempted to called back. Then my phone popped up a little message near the bottom of the screen... "USSD Code Running."
It kinda freaked me out. What does that mean?

Do a Google search on "USSD Code Running". A lot of info comes up.

oh my...
Which code was it?

I've seen this kind of behavior when I've had the phone in my front pocket, and I happened to be sweating. The sweat carried the electrical signals in my skin through the pocket liner (I'm no scientist, just my running theory) to the screen and thus, randomly unleashing all sorts of weird mayhem and shenanigans.
It's either that or gremlins.........

Happened again, check the recording

Probably just a harmless rootkit...
For whatever reason it's probably just the way that phone responds to some unknown numbers with no caller ID. I block unknown numbers, try that.

Freaky.
Can you block the call?
I don't call back unknown numbers.
Off topic -
Noticed that Samsung added a feature in Samsung Messaging that allows users to block e-mail messages.

its an Aliens

It is mostly likely a SPAM caller. There are automatic dialing apps that can either spoof a number, or completely hide the number, which makes it difficult to block.
I'm have Verizon and it has a Call Filter app. Check with your provider if it has a call filter app. You can also find third party call filtering apps.
Unfortunately, dealing with SPAM and scam calls is a game of Wack-a-mole.

It just dialed NN corresponding to 66 which triggered a USSD code.

Yeah...don't call those kinds of numbers back. If something like that comes up, or you get a blocked number. Let it go to voicemail. If they leave a voicemail, fine. If not, don't call it back.
It is possible someone was trying to run a Smishing scam on you. With the aim to hijack your SIM and take over your phone service account. Depending on your carrier, the USSD code could trigger your device to do something you don't want it to do.

I do it short and quick :
The mobile Phone number of your simcard
Has now call forwarding active to the Hackers Server (ussd MUST bei activated by the victim/target. Hacker need the victim to call a 10 Digits number that will Route to His Server)
Its a curently Well known Hack ... (Thus Person was smart enough to hide His 10 Digits number ... Well played good trap)
What the attacker wants... example :
Get into all your Accounts that are secured with YOUR PHONE NUMBER
...WhatsApp Google ... An E-Mail Account ? Etc etc
So...
I dont believe IT was random Attack.
Someone who know how or someone who ordered this
Knows you ... And need to dive into your privates
(thats childplay Hacking from YouTube nothing unknown or hard to do)
Good News : Sometimes ...someone Else is "the target" .... So the attacker needs informations Out of your device and apps....to get information about the Others real Targets Phone number ... in that Case your device/Accounts need to be Hacked or hooked or jacked ....
If your simcard is older than 5-8 years ...Hmmm
Maybe the simcard still use [email protected] browser. (A Browser placed inside your simcard)
Get rid of such a simcard too. Better Sirius lee
Change ur simcard Phone number for ur savety.
But
do it by EVEN changing the mobile Network Provider. (Best in Case If u have an old jackable simcard)
Sad fact : If the Hacker has enough informations from your simcard u need to Change the Provider. Because ... Your Provider maybe gives u a Brand new simcard ... With a new number that u ordered (the Service to Change Phone number to a new one) ... But ... The new number ist the only Thing what Changed all other leaked informations will stay the same as an act of keeping your customer number in the customer Care systems.
U need new customer number or Change the Provider + new number
My Tip: Use a Landphone number as a WhatsApp number ^^ need to recieve calls to activate the new WhatsApp Account so No Premium SMS Hack possible.... its More save
And ... U can start new the new start is : never leak ur simcards original mobile Phone number. Not in those days. Use the original simcard Phone number to Order pizza or a taxi. Give IT to No one and u dont need to Clean everything... Like u need to do NOW

Jupp thats so obvious ... The trap was better than call the target and please the Person to dial the number that activates the call forwarding Code that waits on a Server
Sim jacking needs the [email protected] Browser in the simcard. Needs to be an old one. Network Provider dont sell new regular simcards with the [email protected]
And dave wouldnt know that an invisible SMS with Codes reached his SMS Inbox :/
No need to call him in that case ... Just send the right prepared SMS and Game over
