Weirdest thing just happened..... I'm playing on my s3, expecting a phone call. I get the call and not only is my s3 ringing but my old incredible on desk?? So just out of curiosity I answer my incredible, it works and I'm talking. A second after I answer my inc, I answer my s3, it connects to the call as well and now I'm talking on both phones at the same time.... Didn't think that was possible lol... I had the person call me back again but the inc didn't ring.
Then I realized my inc said I had missed calls yesterday. Yesterday I had tried calling someone and my s3 would not dial. So I tried calling it from a friends phone and my work phone but my s3 wouldn't ring. (Turns out those calls were going to my inc which was home) I pulled and re-seated the battery and sim on the s3 and tried again and it worked. Throughout this whole thing my data (3g) was working just fine on my s3. (No 4g where I'm at)
Sorry if this is confusing. Has anyone had something like this happen? If so, how did you fix it? Any suggestions?
btw: it doesn't happen all the time (only twice)(just now and yesterday for the ten minutes I was trying to call my s3) and I'm with Verizon.
Completely normal when porting numbers over, usually it only happens in the first 48 hours but it could take up to a week do update across the board. Give it a few more days and you should be alright.
Alright will do...happened again today, had one call I missed on my gs3, had two missed call on my Inc when I got home

As alexmason said it is normal during a porting process, but if I understand correctly you're not porting out of Verizon right? This is very strange if you've been on Verizon the whole time (I should specify on the same account as well).
I pre-ordered my s3 for the same line I had my incredible on. I got it Monday and activated it that night for that line. Same number, same everything. So it wasn't anything other then a normal activation.
The incredible is only receiving some of my calls, you can't call out and it doesn't have 3g. On my s3 some call go to it only, some calls go to both phones, some go to just the inc. It has 3g all the time and works, but when calls are not going to the s3 (only) I can't call out from either phone.
Earlier, all calls from my house to my cell, were going to my inc and not my s3. So i pulled the battery and sim on the s3 and re-seated them and called from my house again and it rang my s3 so it worked. But I've done this before when i had trouble dial out of my s3 at work.

Hey everyone!
I have, what i hope to be, an easily solvable issue.
I am studying abroad and my school gave me a free nokia crap phone which is great for making phone calls. I also happened to bring with me my G2 (unlocked) and have a seperate plan with just data, I just carry these two phones around and the system has pretty much worked fine for me.
However, I realized today that I coud forward the incoming calls from my crap phone to my G2. I like this because since I have a nice phone I kinda wanna use it! I only have one issue, outgoing calls. If I could set up outgoing call forwarding to my crap phone, I could just leave it in my room and just carry around the G2.
TLDR, is it possible to make calls through the G2 and have it routed through my other phone number?

Hey. I have the same "issue" . Have you find the sollution yet?
I just purchased the sII skyrocket 2 weeks back. About every 2 days the phone would stop receiving calls. When i get a call it would ring a half ring and then at the top where it shows the signal would have a no sign on it like there was no service. Once its goes in to this mode it would stay in it until i reboot the phone. The problem is that i never actually know who is calling because it never logs a missed call. This is the first i have seen this on any andriod phone. Here is some additional info, Stock Rom, Phone is rooted, i have the following apps frozen using TBP
Allshare
At&T code canner
At&T hotspots
At&T navigator
At&T ready 2 Go
Featured Apps
Kies Air
Kies via Wifi
Kobo
NFC service
NFC Test
QIK Lite
QuickOffice
Social Hub
Tethering Manager
Any thoughts? I should add that its not specific to one contact it will happen to anyone that calls, i have tested this calling from my wifes cell to mine when it was in this mode and saw it happen constantly. Rebooted sitting in the same place phone received calls.
no feedback yet from community but i thought i would post an updated.
I contacted AT&T that suggested it could be the SIM card, I went to the store tonight and changed out my SIM. I will update this if the issue goes away so in case some one has something similar they know what a potential fix could be.
Interesting.
Did you get a new SIM card when you get the Skyrocket as well?
I know they issued me a new SIM card at purchase because of the LTE upgrade.
yep they gave me a new sim card when i purchased it said the old one wasn't compatible. So the one i just received replaced the new one that is about 10 days old.
just to update this, this seemed to have fully fixed my issue.. since i swapped the sim there have been no issue
Your SIM was probably dying out, it happens.
Glad to see your issue was fixed, I was thinking you were having LOS, same as the Sprint SGS II.
Hi I am using the ATT HTC VIVID
I bought this phone last Nov 11, and I stated noticing my phone was not receiving any calls if I stay at home(jersey city). If anyone calls to my number it will not connect at the same time it will not sent to voicemail also. It will say "call couldn't be completed".
After 2 months fight with ATT, they tried
1. they did a factory reset on my phone - it didn't help
2. changed the sim card - it didn't help
3. finally they replaced a another HTC vivid
even that didn't help
finally they said there was issue in near to my home and they fixed it.
now i a started receiving calls but now the issue i am having is, if I call to my number it will not connect first time it will go to voicemail, and second time if i try then it will ring. (First time also my phone is idle) This is happening randomly and ATT is not helping on this situation. As per them I am not able to replicate when they were testing on my phone.
Because of this issue I am missing calls which is making me really frustrated. After three week of research I found this is happening in not only near to my home its happening at my work place (NYC) and if I go around also its happening.
Can someone please give some advice to fix the issue that would be really great
Sounds like an issue that IMEI is conflicting :'(
Low end cheap bro.....
First of all, thanks for the response
But I am not getting the answer clearly
Can you please explain more and what should I do
Do I need to contact ATT or something
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.
Im thinking of grabbing one of these up but have a couple of questions. Im on tmobile by the way
1. can you use one number because it can be a task giving out two numbers?
2. If you are using one number, if your phone is off will it show the watch number or the watch number?
3. If your phone is dead/off can you receive text/mms/calls if someone is calling your phone and if you reply will it show your phone number or watch number
wow..no input on this? I have googled but cant seem to get a concrete handle on it
I think it depends on the carrier. I'm on Verizon and the other day my phone died and calls rang through to my number on my phone on the watch. I haven't done a test yet to see if I call from the watch when the phone is off what happens. I'll see if I can do that for you and let you know.

i would def appreciate that...i think that is the biggest blind spot dealing with these lte watches how they work
So I did a test. With the phone in airplane mode and wifi on the watch turned off, I could make and receive calls on the watch as if it were my phone. Texts though came from the watch number.
In looking at the number share FAQ on Verizon, it states that to send texts you need to have the phone connected to a network. I know if my phone is on and I am connected via LTE on the watch texts show as if coming from the phone.
Not sure on other carriers how this works. Hope this helps.
My experience withGear S3 LTE and ATT
I have an Essential that I purchased at Best Buy and brought to ATT to sync with my stand alone Gear s3 LTE. My gear has it's own number, and I wanted it to sync with my phone as advertised, so I can have one number for both devices. The rep told me that it is not possible because I used an unlocked non-ATT phone. They claim that for it to work, the phone must have at t software on it. So now I have two phone numbers. Oddly enough, when I use the Bluetooth connection option, I get no notifications. When I use standalone, I actually receive notifications from my phone, but when I respond, it is from my watche's number. It's a mess. I still think it's possible, but finding a rep that can fix it is the difficult part. Every time I deal with at t, I get different answers from different reps about most everything.
