Forward lookup - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all. I recently updated the software to 38R and noticed that forward lookup no longer works on the dialer. I've got the setting ticked and the lookup provider is still Google but nothing works.
Is anyone else having this problem?

I have the same issue. I changed the provider but still it won't lookup nearby business phone numbers. Even the reverse lookup is not performing
I hope it gets patched.

Sorry for the bump but has anyone found a way to solve this? It doesn't work with the CM12 Dialer App either and I really miss this functionality from the Stock Google Dialer found on my Nexus 5. I've tried a lot of different ways to get the Google Dialer 2.0 APK working on CM12 including trying to deodex the apk and then building a version of CM12 with odexing enabled and everything just resulted in the dialer force closing, so I'm at a loss here.
EDIT: Well... I did all of that... just to find out my issue with Forward Lookup was that somehow my location services managed to turn itself off. Turned it on and it works now. I feel like a fool but I'll leave this here in case anyone else is having similar troubles.

[Q] Verizon Voicemail with CM7.1.1

Does any know of a solution to get verizon voicemail working on CM7.1.1? I have read through a number of posts as well as searched other sites. I can install the market app, but it won't connect and keeps telling me the service is down. This does not happen when I use a sense based theme. I have tried changing the permissions and changing the ro.horizontal values of build.prop.
I do not like google voice or youmail, I have tried them both and neither work as well for me.
Thank you!

[Q] GPS not working at all with MIUI 2.8.3, any ideas on how to fix?

I'm running MIUI US 2.8.3 on a HTC Sensation and my GPS will not work. It had been discovered that the makers of MIUI had replaced the google location services with Baidu, but it was supposed to be fixed from like 2.7 onward. Before I tried to fix it, my google maps kept telling me I was in China, or half the time wouldn't find any location at all. I did some googling and found threads on the miuiandroid website that said to fix it you need to reinstall a networklocation.apk from a prior release of MIUI. I have done that twice, and neither time it has worked. My gps isn't working at all anymore, and I have no idea how to fix it. I looked at the permissions and I noticed that for default under the permissions it says "android.permission.BAIDU_LOCATION_SERVICE", does this mean it's still trying to run the Baidu location services even though I installed the google one? Is there anyway to change this and if there is would it fix the problem I'm having?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, as it seems across the board any thread I've come across has had the problem fixed by installing the google .apks, but that hasn't been the case for me at all.

[Q] gs3 - can't send texts - CyanogenMOD 11 KitKat

Hey guys,
This is my first post, and I would greatly appreciate some help. I'm clearly quite a rookie at this. But I rooted my Verizon gs3 quite some time ago, and everything has run smoothly since. I did use it while in the UK on GiffGaff Mobile, and still worked fine. Now I am using Simple Mobile.
Just today, I installed the CyanogenMod 11 KitKat. I am able to send & receive MMS. And I can receive SMS, but I cannot send SMS.
I have tried changing the SMSC number using the dialer, but it keeps reverting back to "+12063130004",145 . I have also tried using different SMSC codes using the GoSMS app. I've played around with the APNs as well, but from the little that I know about this, this only has to do with MMS not SMS, correct?
Don't know what else to do, and I can't find any threads that have helped me yet.
PLEASE help, and I would greatly appreciate it.

If you toggle airplane mode or reboot the phone can you send an SMS? I haven't played with my phone at all lately but suddenly similar symptoms have manifested. I can send 1 SMS every time I reboot, but then it stops sending SMS after that one. Is this true with you? I haven't found a fix yet, but I'm trying to flush out the problem completely.

I figured it out!! Finally! I had the same issue - I was able to send one message, then suddenly nothing. Do you have Google Voice+ ?? If so, try disabling it. You cannot disable it through the Settings>Apps - you actually have to go into the App then and select disable.

I don't see "Google Voice+" Are you referring to Google+ or a different app altogether? This is driving me mad.

Its just called Voice+. I know, I spent hours trying to sort it out. Other than that and messing around with the SMSC number, I'm not sure what else would be the problem.

So what do you mean by go into the app? if I press menu> manage apps, and then under the tab "All" at the bottom there is a "Voice+". I'm on CM10.2 and it appears that the "Voice+" is part of CM. If I open my app drawer and scroll down there is no app called Voice+.
There is Voice Dialer and Voice Search, but nothing else in the app drawer with a similar name. If I'm not going down the correct path please let me know. Thank you.

Hmm, that's odd that its not showing up in the app drawer. It should be. Do you use Google Voice at all? On my phone, the option to disable or uninstall is blocked when I go into Settings>Apps. But if you don't use the app and your phone allows you to, maybe try disabling and/or uninstalling from there?? Let me know, and I'll keep looking.

So, I have the option to force stop it. (no change in results).
I've even downloaded the "Google Voice" app, which added the "Voice+" app, opened it, confirmed that it was on disable and still no change.
I have no idea why this problem started this morning since I don't believe I am any changes to my phone the past couple days... I really don't know what information I can provide to help troubleshoot it...
I'm having the same exact problem starting this morning. I can send exactly one message and then I have to reboot or turn airplane mode on/off to send another. Everything was working perfectly fine yesterday, though. I've tried deleting my phone's cache in the recovery menu but it hasn't helped.

Are you also on CM11? What is your carrier? I've done a factory reset and upgraded from CM10.2 to CM11 and still haven't been able to ride my self from the problem. Nothing I have tried has changed anything. I made a new thread since it seems that the original purpose of this thread has been answered via the disabling of Voice+. The new thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2657822

Carrier: Verizon. I was initially on CM 10.2 but both rolled back to CM 10.1 and upgraded to CM 11 to see if any of those fixed the problem. Neither did and I reluctantly (for now at least) went back to stock and unrooted my phone. Texting is working fine but I absolutely hate TouchWiz. I have no idea what could have caused the issue and, like you, I didn't make any changes at all before it happened. It literally appeared out of the blue.

A bunch of us on S4s seem to be having the same problem! The timing of this issue all happening at once is weird... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50552025
OK this really does seem to work for me as a temp workaround...it sticks through reboots and all. Go to the dialer and enter the trusty old *#*#4636#*#* then go to phone settings and change preferred network type to CDMA only then back out and reboot.
It kinda sucks cause it's slow on the go, but at least I can send texts reliably. I have WiFi most places I am anyway.
If anyone figures out a real long term fix please post!!!

sorry for such a late response. I solved this by just disabling Google Voice+. It is just called Voice+ in the app drawer, and when you open it, just tap 'Disable' & reboot the device.

Some people don't have voice+ and the solution you used isn't an option for them.
For those of us less fortunate than you, It seems you can fix the problem by loading a TW ROM and flashing the MB1 firmware. Then you can return to CM
I had XVoice+ for Exposed on my SGS4, it stopped me from sending texts. It was ok when i uninstalled it. I hope that might help.

Android Messaging enhanced features not working

this might seem like something stupid but all of a sudden the enhanced features or rcs in android messenger stopped working. when i go into the setting it brings up the opt in screen, does the circle and gives me the check like everything is ok. but it doesnt work. when i go back in all it continues to do is give me the opt in screen never giving me the actual options of the features. it has worked for me since it rolled out. nothing has changed with my setup, i am unrooted. anyone else run into this? i have tried clearing cache, data, force stopping, restarting, uninstalling and reinstalling and even updating profile. so strange but this is a feature i really liked. any help is appreciated.
thanks
Just stumbled across your post from a Google search as I am having the same issue on my Galaxy S6 on Sprint (which like you, was indeed working previously) and my brand new Sprint LG G6. On both, anytime I tap on the enhanced features in the settings it brings up that blue opt in screen, gives me a nice check mark, but I still can't get in there anymore to change the settings or verify it is working. I've tried all sorts of combinations of the Messenger app and Carrier Services to no success. If you managed to resolve this, please let me know!
Mine was working on my note 4 but it does not work on my Galaxy S8 plus. Did you guys ever resolve this? Mine never even gives the checkbox it just stays on the Excuse the wait Messages will let you know when this is complete.....

I've got the exact same problem. Have you found a solution?
Ditto on my S8. @xPhrostx or @Stanleywinthrop ... did either of you ever end up having any success?
Oddly enough, it worked fine on my dad's S3!!!

Problems with Android P beta and release

I've been using the beta for quite a while now, and I've been mostly happy.
However, I recently had to switch SIM and I now find that the Google Home app won't update its feed, complaining about a problem signing into my account. All other Google apps I have seem to work fine but nevertheless I tried signing out, deleting the Google account and adding it again...to no avail.
Also, I'm in a location with no access to any Google servers, so I use a VPN. This didn't used to present any problems, but the beta updates no longer seem to download, and nor does the release of P.
Anyone any ideas how to fix this?

Factory reset should solve the issue.
Does the problem imply some kind of bug in android?
Not really, just seems to happen when you switch sims to a different carrier without wiping

I've not had it happen before (prior to P) - I do it very often (since I develop s/w for phones) - and it is far from expected from an end-user point of view. Actually, doing a factory reset is surely the ultimate indicator of some fault somewhere.
