[Q] Call Waiting Question? - T-Mobile LG G2x

Hello,
I am running cyanogenMod-HellFirePhoenix_V2.1 and it's pretty good but i am having a problem with call waiting. I specifically checked my T-Mobile plan and it says that I have call waiting feature, but when i go to call settings on my phone and try to enable it, it says "SimCard error, your network provider does not support this feature." I remember when i had stock OS a while ago call waiting used to work. Now i tested it and it just sends people straight to voice mail while the phone is busy. Can anyone offer any help with this?
Thanks,

You have to check the box before the message pops up. As far as the SIM error goes that's a known issue and hasn't been fixed AFAIK

Wondering if this is the same issue with my phone. I have the HELLFIRE Sandwich ROM loaded and I hear no notification of a second incoming calls either.

Theres a good chance that this feature was never used by the Dev and so was removed. I know I dont use it. If your not important enough for me to pick it up, you can go to voicemail where I wont call you back. If its someone important, then pick up the phone. I'm running Genesis and I get the ring while im on the phone.

Visual Voice mail and 7720

Anyone get Visual Voicemail working with build 7720 ?
I'm on T-Mobile and had them turn it on earlier today but the phone is unable to enable it.
I'm going to verify it's enabled on an Android phone tomorrow.
Thanks
Yeah
I got a TMOUS HD7 and it works fine.
I already subscribed to Visual Voicemail from previous phones. I enabled it through Phone Setting, under where it has your phone number.

oops forgot to report the error I am getting when I try to enable it:
"Something happened and we couldn't set up your visual voicemail. Make sure you have a cellular signal and try again. You may also need to contact your operator to enable this on your current phone plan"
I think i just need to have some patience for it to get enabled.
Call and leave a voicemail on your phone. That's how I got mine to activate. I didn't even have to "enable" it... it just turned on.
i the same message too on 7720
oops forgot to report the error I am getting when I try to enable it:
i can not figure it out yet
i had that problem on build 7712 but i just kept trying then after a day it worked..

I am on T-Mobile USA and I can confirm that the VVM is working on 7720 and the Mango betas before as well. Just make sure the feature is active on your account.
Working fine here too.Tmous HD7 with 7720
it works now, seems like enabling Visual Voicemail is a 2 step process and I had to call in and have a 2nd engineer spend about 10+ minutes fixing the problem. He ended up having to reset my voicemail completely.
The ironic thing is the Android phone I was using as my control still thinks it's disabled, tries to enable it, apparently succeeds but still thinks it's disabled.
I'm using an LG Optimus 7 that was recently updated to 7720. Seems to be working fine, save for a few minor issues: one of them being Visual Voicemail. I have it set up on my account, evidently, and I can enable it just fine, but when I go to play back any of the message, there is no audio. It acts as if it's playing the message, but you can't hear anything: not from the earpiece, the speaker, or over a bluetooth headset.
Anyone else run into this?
Lastly, what "Voicemail Number" do you have listed? My phone defaulted to some strange international number that it couldn't even dial. I've since replaced it with "123", which dials fine, but I'm not sure if that's what I'm supposed to have in there. I'm on T-Mo USA.
Thoughts?
VVM is now working on my HD7. Took about a day for it to accept the visual voice mail function versus the two hours the rep told me. It wasn't getting any messages to show up so I cycled the phone and now it seems to be working fine.
t-mobile told me that the feature is not supported.
I can't get vvm to work on 7720. I have added vvm to my account.
I'm running the hd7

[Q] T-mobile One S won't receive calls

Hey everyone, I just got my One S yesterday and found out last night that the incoming phone calls aren't coming through. I can receive and send text message and make outgoing calls. Any idea if this is a problem with the phone or maybe a t-mobile outage?

Why don't you call the store you got it from or call C.S you just got it so anything wrong with it could be handled with them. Have you tested it yourself calling from another phone?

I just realized that wifi calling works. I also just called t-Mobile and after 30 minutes of diagnostics they told me that there is a network outage for new activations. Since it took them so long to figure out there is a network outage, I think they are full of it.
Are you still having this issue?
My wife just emailed me saying she was trying to call me but the call wasn't going through.
I was immediately getting calls when I changed my SIM yesterday...

When I first turned the phone on and called to activate my new SIM, tmobile made a test phone call to my new phone and everything worked fine. But now that I think about it, I think wi-fi calling was active at the time. I haven't received any calls today so not sure if the issue is still there.
This happened to me when switching telco, I got a SMS from new operator with a date but no time when my number would be ported. On that day I could make calls and send SMS but not get any calls. Turns out my number had been ported to new telco without me realizing this (I was still using my old SIM since it seemed to work to me.) After changing to new SIM everything was fine. All of this was on a desire though so might not apply to you ofc

Sounds like you have a bad phone, call CS or take it back and demand a replacement.

Calls not coming through - possible solution
I had this problem when I first got it.
First under settings->call->Use Internet calling - make sure you select Only for Internet calls.
Now go to wifi and make sure you are connected to a Wi-Fi network - then click the More menu listed under Mobil Network (three dots). If you have wifi calling enabled, go to Wi-Fi Calling Settings->Connection Preferences and select Cellular Preferred - otherwise you won't be able to make calls when not near a Wi-Fi.
Hope this helps - it took me forever to track it down!

The problem is i can make calls, just can't receive them. I don't think it's the phone as when people call me it goes to an automated message saying i'm not on the network. Even my voicemail doesn't work.

[Q] Google Voice for VM on US TMO 1S

So I got my wife a new HTC One S to replace her HD2 which she had cracked the screen (Worked fine, but good excuse to get a look at a new phone). Everything set up fine, and is working well, but I can't seem to set up Google Voice for VM. Visual VM works (from TMO) but I use and love Google voice on my phone, as it sends you texts with the transcribed message.
If anyone can shed some light on this, every time I change it from my carrier to Google voice on the settings menu (Settings | Calls I think) it gives me an error and stays set to my carrier. Anyone have any ideas.
I have not rooted this phone yet, and as it is the wife's wasn't planning on it, but would like to get Google voice working for voicemail if at all possible. \
Any thoughts/ideas?? I am hoping someone here may know a work around or fix for this...
I also have the same problem. Normally I'd just install a new ROM without the bloatware, but it doesn't appear any are all that stable yet. Will rooting the phone allow you to uninstall stuff like TMobile's apps without having to put on a new ROM?
Anyway, I'm also curious about using Google's Voice.
It is the only issue I have left. I have been doing some research, calling t-mobile and turning off their VM may fix it, but I haven't had to do that on any other phone, so it is my last resort. Hoping someone else here has solved this, or done what I suggested, and validated it as a fix. If all else fails, by the end of the weekend, I will try that approach. Just seems odd that it is locked.
I have also tried *004*[google number here]# with an mmi code error, and **004*[google number here]# which did register, but then reverted just as quickly, when I went to settings|calls to review [I saw it show Google voicemail, only to change instantly back to My carrier]
My GV is still active on my phone from my Sensation and the only thing I did was a Titanium Restore of the GV app. I went into my settings on the One S and it says My Carrier but I just had someone test it and it came through just fine through GV. I would go into your settings in GV on the computer and make sure your phone is set up for VM in there and if it still doesn't work set it up on the old phone and just restore the app if you're rooted.
Good luck!

To avoid issues, I want to avoid rooting. It's the Wife's phone, and if I do anything to it, and she has a problem, I get blamed, even though we all know rooting isn't necessarily bad, and if she has a problem, it is probably the user, not the phone At the end of the day, I will root it if that is the only way to fix this, but I would think a Google phone should support GV out of the box, especially such an integrated feature within ICS. There must be some solution... although it is increasingly looking like I will have to call t-mobile, and remove Visual VM, to get GV to work... Just hoping to avoid that if possible too, as stated before, never had to do that, and always like a backup...
Hoping someone else has solved this and can share their solution. And before anyone asks, it is not a pre-paid plan, which I know has issues...
Found this on another forum, not sure if I can post the link, and it is too late for me to give it a try, but here is the other post, for anyone who wants to give it a shot. Having posted this, there still must be a way to do this without calling t-mobile...
So here's the scoop. Apparently, HTC has disabled the ability to change the voicemail carrier from the device itself. Probably some ploy to get users to use some other service or app. F That. I buy Android phones for a REASON. Anyways...
Here's the fix. Call T-Mobile support. Explain that you need to have the number changed on THEIR end. Just read them the Google Voice number over the phone and have them test it. And voilĂ ! Hope this helps!

Changing it on the phone didn't work right away for me but it did work a day or two later when I tried it again.
The *004* code worked for me, but you have to be off wifi calling to use it.

I had them code my Wife's Google Voice number as the conditional forwarding number (which is actuallt the Voice Mail number on the phone), and haven't had any issues since. If you don't know your number, it should show up on your GV homepage. Once you do that, everything works as it should.

It still shows my carrier as the voice mail carrier but I am getting them through GV will check today when I get home but it was working both recorded messages and text
I used their online chat and the rep switched my conditional forwarding to my GV number. Phone still says My Carrier, and it actually worked fine before, but did it just on principal...locking this down just to get a few more bucks from their own crap VV app is just wrong.

[Q] Activating GVoice on VZW SGS3

I did a search but cant seem to find how to activate Google Voice on my VZW GS3. Im trying to set it up but it says that VZW doesnt support this feature. So I followed the GV support page where it says to dial codes to activate, and one of them takes me to VZW where it says I cant do it. Yet I see people on here using GV. Am I doing something wrong? I am running CleanROM 2.5. Thanks for any help in advance.
Edit: Still have been trying to figure it out and neither of my VM are working now, Stock VZW not GVoice....

I'm just using Google Voice Lite, but on my previous phone I had to setup forwarding at VZW for unanswered calls to go to the GV voicemail. When I got this phone, it just worked after I downloaded the GV app.

Hi,
This is pretty simple. Just log into gvoice in your browser (http://www.google.com/voice) and go settings. Under phone where you setup your number to be forwarded, should show use this as your main voice mail. Follow its steps.

Gvoice, but I would like it to be easy to switch back if I wanted to. Right now neither VM is picking up if I ignore a call. I can call my gvoice number and it will work, but when someone calls nothing is working.
You called the number gvoice tells you to dial to make gvoice your default VM?
Will not work unless you do so.
*71(your gvoice #)
if you did this already, deactivate it *73 and try it over again. *71(your gvoice #)
That is what you have to do to switch between them.

Yes ive done this, It didnt work... I get "Welcome to Verizon Wireless, you call could not be completed as dialed. Blah, blah, blah. Your verizon update could not be completed" when i do the *73
And when I do the *71 I get 3 short busy tones and it hangs up.
When someone calls me and I reject it, The incoming call hears "Your call could not be completed as dialed"
I think ive tried all the proper steps, but feel like im missing something. Please keep the suggestions coming, they are very appreciated

i've just done it 4 times back to back to see if it still worked on the s3 and it does.....just making sure (please don't make any assumptions about what i'm about to type up, it's just to make sure its being done lol) that when you input the # to dial, you include the asterisk before 71 and that you're using the full 10 digit phone number for your google voice number, like for me its *713379449734 to enable, then *73 to disable......it has worked across an incredible 2, droid 3, and now galaxy s3
Yes ive done it multiple times. Like i said when i do the *71 i get a quick busy signal then it hangs up. Ive been all over the place looking around and now neither vm's are working. I only wanted this for the visual vm aspect of it. I believe that its working. Im sure its me doing something wrong. I have setup it up and activated online, it shows my number and carrier, i can call out via pc, when i push and hold 1 it takes me to enter my pin. It just wont answer when there is an incoming call

Ok so I finally got it working. I deactivated then re-activated, but during the Re-activation it had me put in the *71 + a slightly different number than my GV number. But the voicemail aspect is working now. Im trying to figure out how to make calls through my GV number. when I enter google.com/voice on my phone it says we to to learn this number... Please verify using a desktop. Amd to add it. When I go to settings its already listed as a registered phone. Whats that about?

SMS Delayed and Calls go Right to Voice Mail

Using the device on T-Mobile. Sometimes I'll just get a voice mail notification - without the phone ever ringing. Tested from a desk phone, and sure enough it goes right to voice mail without ever ringing. If I make a call outbound from the Zenfone 6, it will always work. Then I'm able to receive calls for an unknown amount of time. I can reboot and get calls after the reboot, but they will eventually randomly stop.
SMS also come though delayed by hours. For instance someone sends a SMS my way at 2pm, I'll get it at about 4pm. If I send a SMS out bound, I then instantly get all the inbound ones.
Anyone know if I need to whitelist something in battery optimization? So far the Zenfone isn't really good at being a phone. - great at everything else though.
Check your apn settings I think I had to update the default to whatever BYOD APN settings are for T-mobile see if it helps you
Also had this issue on T-Mobile. If APN settings don't fix it, I'd go to Auto-start Manager in Settings > Battery > PowerMaster and allow your messaging apps to run.
For me, I'd get SMS messages only when my screen was on, and some weren't received from contacts, like it shuts the apps off after not using them.
Same here. I'm about to switch providers because of this. What rom are y'all using? I'm on LineageOS 16. @wreid23 can you post your APN settings?
Tried unoptimizing all the messaging related apps, no effect.

So I found that if I turn off WiFi calls come right through. I don't know what the fix is, but I guess that's my work around.

I've found the same to be true for me. Wi-Fi connection prevents calls from coming in. I can dial out just fine.
This is extremely strange since this phone is not even Wi-Fi calling certified and it's not even a feature. This has been my biggest issue with the phone so far because you never know if you miss a really important call.

Asus denies the phone could be the problem (despite the phone obviously being the only variable). I replied to that thread anyway, with my experience of similar lost calls on a Moto x4 with Wi-Fi calling enabled. Maybe it'll give some engineer at Asus a push in the right direction...
if any of you are rooted there is an alternative for now to enable volte and vowifi: https://forum.xda-developers.com/rog-phone-2/how-to/guide-enabling-volte-vowifi-v2-t4028073

I'm having the issue with T-Mobile 7T Pro, when I got the permanent unlock approval and switched to Mint Mobile sim is when calls went to voice mail, have you found a solution yet? Phone works fine if I use T-Mobile sim, but Mint Mobile sim in the 7T Pro is when the calls go to voice mail and text don't go out, if I put the Mint mobile sim into a Pixel XL all is fine. When I had to quit Mint Mobile becasue of this and go back to T-Mobile on prepaid again, all worked well.
The zenfone 6 is getting volte with the android 11 update so hopefully that fixes this issue
