Before root i was able to hear a caller announcement of the caller id. The actual
name of the person calling me was sent thru the bluetooth. As in "Jeff" is calling
would be announced.
I rooted my phone and then it just announces the caller id number.
Does anybody have this same problem. I Unrooted I think to the stock ruu
but have no idea what kernel or software number it was.
I took the phone phone back and said that it was defective.
The service rep and everyone else there said they never heard of such a thing
Then i told him to pair my bluetooth with his TB and he was like holy **** thats
kick ass where did i get the bluetooth?
He then listened to it with my phone and just the number.
So i got a new phone
Now if anyone is wondering what bluetooth, It's under $20
(LG hbm 570) says it has caller announcement on it and it does work.
Here is my question is there a way to keep that caller announcement
working with the root.
When rooting what is it that would do this.
Is there a way to keep the same software version maybe?
Or the same kernel or what would i have to keep the same?
I need this so when my phone is downstairs and im upstairs and someone
calls i know who is calling.
I'm so use to name announcement when i had my omnia i910 yes omnia
it worked on.
I have no clue who's number is who.
Any help or info would be great.
thanks in advance

Anyone?
Or at least if i root what can i use so i don't lose caller announcement
Can anyone tell me what i need.
Like should i root with stock kernel or rom?
Anyone , is it even possible.
Does anyone else have caller announcment on there phone?
It is kick ass. If your not by your phone but have bluetooth on
and in ear you know whos calling you.
Or maybe an app that would do this?

I am having problems recieving voicemails. it just says the caller you are trying to reach is not accepting calls. and when i hit ignore it gives a busy signal!! any ideas? i am running the htc wwe 6.1.
there is no problem with your rom. This is a problem with the caller you are trying to reach. Usually, they get that when they didn't pay their phone bill.
Could you give us a clue as to your country/operator? It sounds like something that needs enabling on your account with them.
well i was really worried it was my rom cuz it just started when i did that but for some reason att just dropped my voicemail????? pretty dumb but thanks.
Hey everyone.
My LG G2X is running Cyogenmod 7.2.
Just last week my phone apparently started to not be able to receive phone calls. I called T-mobile and told them about the issue, however they tried calling me and it went through without an issue.
I am lost for words, i've had people from AT&T and Verizon try to call me and no calls go through.
Any ideas?
Kind Regards,
Jordan
What baseband are you on? If you're on a baseband that is not supported by the ROM then you may need to flash one of these zip files to make your phone capable of making calls. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776843

If test calls come through, and calls from other t-mobile phones come through, then it is clearly a t-mobile problem, NOT a phone problem. There is nothing ON your phone that rejects only calls from specific carriers.
You will need to call them back with specific examples of people (phone # and carrier) who cannot call you. Perferably you will also have some examples (landlines, other carriers) who CAN call you.
You also need to make sure to have more than one example, otherwise it could be on the other person's side.
Armed with that information you can prove a pattern and that it is not your phone.
On the other hand, if it is random as far as whether a call comes through or not, then it could be either your phone or t-mobile. A pattern is what you're looking for.

Hi. I have noticed a weird problem. I can call anyone and everyone can call me. But i have this particular number which my phone wont call. It starts ringing but after about half-second it cuts and tells me that the number is not available. But the number can call me. And i also noticed that when i have both these phones next to each other, the other one turns on its display as soon as my phone dials it, but wont connect, because my phone cuts it...
What kind of problem could that be? I tried removing the contact and adding it again, as well as rebooting my phone.
P.s.: the irony is that the particular number is my gf's lol

Maybe the person accidently barred your number from calling them?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Well too strange that it started happening after i changed my phones (very old nokia for this new moto g)
Yeah thanks, the operator told me that this is usually bcause of banning the number from the other phone..
And yes, somehow my number was on the black list of my gf's phone, though she's not much into setting anything in her phone, so we dont know how did i get there
Thanks everyone
Today I received an incoming call from a known number (my friend) and when I accepted the call (slide to the right) the timer started counting and I was hearing the sound that you hear when you dial somebody. Because, it was, in fact actually dialing that number. My friend didn't pick up her phone (busy or something) so I got the message "please leave a voicemail..."
And that happened about 4 more times, one of those time she picked up the phone and asked why I called her. I said I didn't call her. I received an incoming call from her. And after that until now I keep receiving a notification saying "new voicemail" and there are new voicemail. And these voicemail are the sound mentioned above (the sound you hear when you dial somebody).
So what happened? How can an incoming call when accepted call back? And who made the calls? It appeared that my friend had access to her phone, not like it was stolen or something.
It can possibly be the network provider (yours or your friend's carrier) acting up. That issue doesn't sound like its the actual phone. Have both you and your friend call both of your carriers and ask them to reset the network. Explain the situation to them. Maybe they were doing some testing/maintenance and it interfered with the service.

NEVER call police!!! :good:
Valentines day is close and that friend:cyclops: maybe....cupid did it?
Google's algorithms have determined that you two really need to talk.
I followed dicecuber's advice and called 911. I was told that this was done by the NSA.
Just kidding
Now things seem to be peaceful. No more calls from my known-but-unknown friend. I now have 6 voicemail like that though. Wasted about 30 minutes to listen to those voicemail, and I'm using T-Mobile $30 100-minute plan.
I thought of the possibility of an app on my phone doing this and am considering doing a factory reset, but I'm not sure if it's even possible for an app to do that. Not to mention I believe I don't have any malicious apps on my device.
- If I do a firmware restore would I need to calibrate the battery?
- Do you add an "s" after "voicemail" to make it plural?
For those that are wondering, this is absolutely not a trolling post nor a joke.
Not sure if this is a carrier thing or the device? I switched from AT&T to Verizon when this device came out. When on a call and a call comes in I place original call on hold and answer incoming call. If I then hang up on that call it hangs up on both people. Is there no call waiting?
Never had to tell someone they need to hang up so I can switch back to the other person on hold. Seems like either a bad carrier issue or bug? Never had CDMA carrier before so hopefully not an issue I'm stuck with?

This is a CDMA bug since it happens with Sprint as well. I was like you, I switched over from AT&T about 4 years ago. It absolutely drove me crazy for about a year until I just finally gave up and accepted it. I'm hoping that things will chnage when VoLTE becomes the standard:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

If you have Sprint dial *38 and/or *720 to restore your call waiting. And for other mobile companies ##21#. But you can read through and find the correct deactivation. The problem happens because somehow call forwarding was active. I think it happened for me when I used my sprint number as my Google Voice number.
