Hey all,
I've been stumped over this one since getting my GS4G. I seem to recall Android (even the 1.6 on my old Mytouch 3G) had an option in the contacts to automatically send the call directly voicemail. But I can't find it in the current builds. Stock or Trigger.
Anyone know how I can find this or any workarounds?
In settings go to call settings and should be a call option in there i have same issue....but it is in there if u cant figure it out pm me and ill get exact location in settings

Hi all.
I have searched but not found. I miss a feature from my old HD2, it was possible to deny a incoming call with a sms. Like: I'm busy right now, call you later. Have been talking to HTC support and they told me to take a look at Market.
But I don't want to BLOCK incoming calls or texts, just the possibility to deny them with sending a sms to the caller.
Is there a workaround somewhere?
Anyone else missing this?
I have the option, settings menu and it's under calls or phone, I can't remember. I will check the location and post back.
Edit; It's settings, calls, phone, you should see it there.

Oh, it's there but it doesn't work.
Try to call yourself or when someone is calling you, where is the option on the screen then?
Thanks for your reply.
Does this work for anyone?
Checked as well found it but it does not for me as well.
I'm in such a pickle. I seem to have lost my voicemail all together on the Virtuous Unity Rom for the MT4GS. Please somebody help me out. I can't retrieve or leave voicemails on this phone anymore and I don't know why, I also lost the ability to record and set a personal greeting on my voicemail system.... Does anybody know why this might be?

by default, on tmo, if you call yourself from your phone, it will let you log in to your voicemail. i had that issue when i went to cm7 on my 3gslide
I tried calling my phone from a different phone to leave a voicemail. I get the automated reordering saying that I'm unavailable. Then I try leaving a message and nothing. I literally lost my voicemail service..... Help please

Have you tried calling Tmobile? Maybe they can reset your voicemail acct. on their end?
Otherwise maybe make a nandroid and flash a different ROM, and see if it works there?
Have you been using the regular Tmo voicemail service, and have you checked your voicemail settings? A quick solution could also be to install Google Voice or Youmail, and let that set up and handle your voicemail for now. One time I set up Google Voice and then wanted to go back to my carrier's voicemail, and I was in kind of a gray area until I went to G Voice on my computer and deleted my phone number there.
Anyway, just throwing out some ideas, I hope it helps you some.
Call your number, hit star, password prompt. If you don't remember psw, restore a nandroid, call from your phone, change psw, profit. Make a nandroid b4 u restore one. Tmobile resets it.

Ok. This is very strange. It's happening on both of my One S phones. It's possible it only started after the OTA update.
When wifi is on and wifi calling is enabled, the airplane mode setting goes into a state where it says it's "turning off" and the on/off button is diabled.
When it's like that, I can not send MMS with Go SMS (I can send with stock messenger during that time).
If I turn wifi calling off, airplane mode goes into off and I can send MMS with Go SMS.
I know the OTA had something to do with a wifi calling fix, but I think they broke something.
It's like when wifi calling is on, it's disabling the ability for mobile data to come on to perform functions that are not done over wifi (i.e. MMS).
How do u activate WiFi calling? Sorry I'm not stealing your thread and is it true if using WiFi calling u don't use your minutes?

It's in the settings menu, I don't have the phone at the moment, but I think you have to click the dotted line under mobile network and it's in there. Yes, wifi calling is free, but you have to call them and add a free wifi calling plan to your account.
Any further discussion, I'd ask that you start your own thread.
Anyone able to confirm my findings on the issue I posted about and any thoughts as to what's going on?
I cannot exactly verify what you are experiencing, but I use GoSMS and I have always had trouble with it and wifi. But I do think it had gotten worse since the update.
In my situation when I boot the phone art home (where I have no signal and a fixed, auto wifi connection), wifi calling isn't on... Until I make a call. Then it takes about a minute to turn on and turn blue (it almost always starts out with an "invalid SIM" error). And in my situation, until wifi calling is running, my SMS is spotty. Them while it is initially on I can also send SMS. Then when it goes off again (usually if I don't make a call for about 30), at this point I cannot send SMS without a reboot.
I am running various log applications, and in reading the log enough times, I can definitely see consistent regular errors mentioning the GoSMS app. I also am pretty sure this update fixed a few things, but it also broke stole things.
You should go download a log program, and let me know of you see GoSMS errors.

I can confirm this is an issue on my One S also

That's for comfirming!
How'd the screw this up so badly? It's going to be months before they push a new firmware up to fix this.
Same here
So any work arounds to get MMS to work with Go SMS w/o turning off wifi calling?
Also, I posted on the T-Mobile forums here:
http://support.t-mobile.com/message/148722
Maybe some of you can jump in here and voice your complaints too?
I was able to get HTC to escalate to a tier 2 tech who was very vigilant with trying to reach me to discuss the issue.
After detailing exactly what's happening, he commented that he say some other reports of this issue and something about a youtube video detailing it as well. Said he'd look into it further.
The next day, he called back saying they confirmed it's a bug and it would be fixed in the next maintenance release, but had no idea when that would be.
Very happy with HTC's level of support (after the first few go arounds getting tier 1 to finally understand what I was talking about and escalate).
A T-Mobile forum rep also noted that they've reported the problem and are working on it as well.
Not much else I can do here. Hopefully there will be another software update coming in the next month or 2.
This is happening to me as well. Like you all, when I called Tmobile to ask them about it, they said both the signal fluctuating problem and the random airplane mode are known problems that HTC "is working on a fix for. I guess the pro is that this has been a pretty big phone for both HTC and Tmobile, right? So I'll be optimistic about a fix. OTOH, can I assume this isn't a problem in the ROMs?
Well I hate to disappoint, but this isn't just a HTC problem, I am on the Galaxy SIII and I am experiencing the exact same issue. I'm not sure if T-Mobile uses their own programmers to code the wifi calling and functions, and then just submits it to the manufacturer to add in or what, but there is definitely an issue here.

Maybe that's not a bad thing then. Perhaps an update to the wifi calling app is all that's needed to fix? That certainly would be a lot easier than needing new firmware.
Are you having the exact same issue?
Here is a quote off some research I've done:
It could be done technically. AFAIK all communication between MMS enabled components is done via standard TCP/IP. But in a regular provider setup the MMS store and forward server(s) (MMSC) are only reachable via the providers network. That's why you can not send and receive MMS via WiFi.
It's also the reason why you can not make a call and send/receive an MMS simultaneously when you have only 2G (GPRS/EDGE) connectivity.
Normally android will drop the GSM data connection if there is WiFi connectivity and all data will be routed through the WiFi interface, but there is one exception: The MMS traffic will still go through the mobile data connection.

So normally, if you are connected to WIFI and send an MMS, it triggers your phone to open up the data connection with your carrier just long enough to send your MMS. With TMobile, there is something in the programming that is stopping our phones from doing so. However, this seems more of a GoSMS issue now because the stock messaging apps does perform this function fine.
I'm seeing this problem as well, but the other issue with WiFi calling for me is that it doesn't do touch tone automated systems well at all. Such as voicemail. It straight up doesn't recognise my password input at all unless WiFi calling is off.

I owned the ONE S before the SIII and had the same issue -- It will record your password, you just need to type it a lot slower than normal. I would suggest setting up visual voicemail, or downloading a visual voicemail app like Youmail.
Hi,
1. I use skype for international call and my phone for local and national calls. Is it possible to just click the contact or in dialer click the contact and then call will automatically go through skype or phone depending on the number.
Earlier when I was using CM10 on my old galaxy phone, I remember getting a pop-up option whether I want to handle this call by skype or phone, that was also acceptable. But on my new nexus 5 I don't see this option. when I click contact in dialer or contact it just tries phone.
2. In CM10, I had the option to toggle rotation through quick-setting. It was quite handy during sleeping. But I don't see this now.
KitKat revamped a lot of things like this. Simply installing Skype now doesn't undue the dialer's default settings forcing the system to present the pop-up question.
You might try installing a third party dialer, then install Skype and see if the pop-up shows.
