[Q] Resetting Voice+ - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys,
I enabled Voice+ during the initial setup but quickly realized I now cannot send any SMS out of the phone. (my Carrier number tied to GV is different from my current carrier number.)
I've read up on it and HAVE tried the following-
- Disable Voice+ in Settings>Wireless Networks>More>Voice+
- Uninstall Google Voice app
- Deleted Google Voice cache and app data in Settings>App>All apps
- Deleted app data and force stop Voice+ in Settings>App>All apps
restarted again and again. Yet I still cannot send any SMS out of the phone.
Calling out and receiving calls work fine however. Receiving SMS also works.
I've run out of options and the final solution I realize is to wipe the phone and start a new but this time ignore when they ask for Voice+. However, I would prefer if there was a way to completely wipe or uninstall Voice+, and only Voice+, as an individual app within CM11.
Any other users who experienced the same problem are also welcomed to share your steps to solving this issue.
- EDIT : Problem Solved, Solution below-
So after hours of searching and troubleshooting, I finally gave up and factory reset the phone from Recovery. After setting it back to how it was before without installing Google Voice and without enabling Voice+, SMS STILL WOULDN'T SEND!!
Now I figure the problem might be something else, I switched SIM card back to my old phone and sure enough, SMS would not send.
Then I went into *#*#4636#*#* and checked the SMSC, Googled my carrier's SMSC and change it to that, hit Update, Refresh, Reboot.
Works just as it should now. Turns out, SMSC (short message service center) number was messed up somehow, I might have changed it to something else in the beginning of troubleshooting this issue before disabling and uninstalling the apps.
Protip/TLDR : Google YOUR carrier's SMSC number and change it to that if you're having a problem like mine.
Cheers, Problem solved. Please close thread.

msg app resending problem, can app be disabled

I had a problem with the stock msg app going into a continueoues looping resending a text because it was reprtoing that the number was incorrect.
So:
1. I couldn't find this, but is there a way to NOT have it resend on an error
2. If I load on any msg app, is there a way to disable this msg app?
3. any other options anybody can provide??
Thanks
I found this in another phone thread, so I guess this is how to disable the stock if I gho that route..
Open messages and hit menu. Uncheck received notification.
Very strange and anoying. I disabled the stock app, installed handcent set the settings where I thought it doesn't resend on error nd then it starting sending the same msg over and over that the stock one was sending.
FYI - msg is:
2288 error invalid number, please re-send using valid 10 digit number or short code. how can i clear out this msg or have my msg app stop sending it???
update, I did a search and found a number of peiople reporting this problem on other phones but no reported fixes related to this phone. So stuck right now with handcent uninstalled, it continued to resend the stupid msg even with the data off. So back to stock with data off, so NO text functionality at this time unles I can figure out how to clear. reset was suggested on the phone, but that will blow alot of instal apps and data away. so last resort..
EDIT: the last resort didn't work, factory reset and after reboot the d&*n text started up again... I don't under stand how it can send/receive text with no network setup... fyi - I using the phone on a at&t pre-paid network. The 3GS worked great, this phone has issues and thsi is the biggest one.

[HELP] SMS only goes through after outward call

I flashed CM7 TG reloaded last night and so far I'm loving it! Everything seemed to be working fine at first (i.e.- placed and received calls, sent and received SMS and MMS). After I performed said tests to make sure the ROM was functioning properly I went ahead and began restoring all my previous apps through Titanium Backup. It all went without a hitch until this morning when I tried sending a SMS. I'm using the default messaging app and where the "Sent: x:xx" would be displayed, it instead stays on "Sending...". Incoming SMS messages are also not coming in (I tried sending multiple texts from my gf's phone.) The odd thing is I can send and receive MMS without any issues and the phone will both send and receive delayed SMS if I place a phone call. Also, all incoming phone calls do not get through to me.
So to clarify, I CAN make phone calls and send MMS. I CAN'T receive phone calls or send/receive SMS UNLESS I place a phone call. Any help would be appreciated.
I just did a factory reset on my phone, cleared data/cache, wiped dalvik cache, and reflashed the ROM. I have not restored any of my apps so I'm running a clean install. I'm still experiencing the same issues. If there is a step I'm missing it'd be great to know so I have a fully functioning phone. Should I wipe /system as well or would that not help? I'm open to any suggestions at this point.
One more thing I've observed is that the signal strength stays at -120dBm until I open a call. Once a call is opened I gain signal strength to about -89dBm (this is at home for me) and that's when I receive a swarm of texts and any texts I tried to send prior to calling get sent. Is this any indication of something? If anyone could help, please do. I really don't want to go back to the stock rom haha.
edit: Ok, so if I disable the EvDo network then all of my problems are solved. Obviously I'd like to keep 3G, but this is where I'm at right now.
SAME PROBLEM. Started this past week. Was fine for months on TG reloaded.
I was thinking it was new app related, but you wiped and still have the problem?
I'm not going to wipe if you already tried it.
I'm going to try turning off EVDO and see what happens.
edit: INSTANTLY dozens of missing texts sent/received when going from EVDO only to CDMA only mode!
I am pondering if flashing back to stock ROM and re-running Virgin Activation app would help....
Damn I wish you could run Activation in CM7
So last night I did a little more digging... ended up clearing data and cache on messaging app, powering down, removing the battery for 30 min, powering back up and switching radio to cdma/evdo (vs one or the other).
So far texts / sms are working today, and I have neither made nor received any phone calls. Perhaps incoming are still going straight to voicemail, but I receive very few calls so I will check later.

Things seemed to also work for me when I went into System select (the option in Mobile network settings) and changed the cdma roaming mode from "Home", which was selected by default, to "Automatic". Haven't run into problems since changing that setting.
Well, I found this in the TG-Reloaded thread: "DO NOT use the Titanium Backup App, which can cause more problems"
I flashed mine about a week ago and haven't had any problems.

[CM11] SMS & Callout Issue after flashing

I have recently flash the nightly build (20131226) version of CM11 for my i9003, afterwards, I tried flashing to the latest build (20140110)
I have do wipe factory and cache. But it keep rebooting randomly on using.
Finally, I notice I cannot callout, and even not receiving call in,
also having problem on SMS (both receive and sendout is not working), it show the network is already there.
But funny the network is sometime getting lost.
then I downgrade with clean install to 2.2.1, it still not working, and then upgrade to 2.3.6.
NO working Till now.
Do anyone please help, and suggest? Many Thanks.
I have check the IMEI is correct
Finally, I have factory format, the phone is able to call out and receive call sometime.
But the network signal, always lost.
But still not able to receive/send sms, I have tried to set the SMSC in phone info by *#*#4636#*#* , getting fine on updating and refreshing the correct SMSC, but still not work on receiving and sending.
Really don't know what the problem.
Looking for help, thanks.
To share, I don't know if the phone having learning AI, it is now able to callout (quite a high rate). joking
I try to flash cf-root, and install CM11 nightly build version 20140108, the callout and network seem much more stable.
no network lost incidentally.
But there are still 2 main issue trouble me.
1. randomly reboot suddenly, not at specific action afterward. Really random.
2. not able to receive sms, it is able to send out sms after I enable the option send sms through "IMS" in the phone info "*#*#4636#*#*"
but I think receiving must get thru radio. and my SMSC correct on refresh.
If anyone have any idea and update. Please suggest. Thanks.

Making calls, receiving MMS and contact list issues.

Hello!
I'm having a few "bugs" on my Moto G Global GSM running stock EU Retail software on top of AeroKernel and Gravity Box on it.
1. Making calls issue: it seems like my phone is not getting "mobile provider settings" regarding showing my number when placing a call. As a result, i can't call home phone numbers in my country - i can call mobile numbers any time, but if i want to call home number, i need to go to phone -> settings -> additional settings and wait for the settings to load. Only then can I call these numbers.
2. Receiving MMS: how can i enable auto-download MMS messages on stock messaging app? I mean the situation when my data is off, then it autoconnects when mms comes, then it disconnects. It is like this on custom roms, as far as I know, but i'd like to have it on stock software.
3. Contact list issue: my contacts are doubled. How can i solve this? All of my contacts are from my Gmail account only, no contacts on SIM or from storage. The weird thing is, when I open Contacts app, it shows my contacts as it should, but when i open Phone app and try to search for somebody, the entries are doubled. oh, okay, i fixed that already. my contacts on google account were all doubled or trippled - though i have no idea why!
So, these are issues I'm having that prevent me from enjoying my phone in 100% . I wish somebody can help me with these! I'd really appreciate that!
Thanks in advance,
Kumczak

Missing contact info on incoming calls

Got a weird one here for you guys. My ATT Note 8 will not display the contact information when someone calls. If I do not answer the phone it will display a notification that I missed a call from that person (displaying the name). I have checked everything I can think of.
I've tried rebooting and toggling "only display contacts w/ names" (was recommended from a Google search). When it is paired to my company truck it displays the names on the radio as normal but only the number is displayed on the phone. I cleared the cache and data from my Google account. Removed the Google account and redone it. Toggled everything possible in the dialer settings.
When ringing it displays only the number with a button below it that says "add to contacts" but when you go to call history it displays the correct contact information.
The only thing I have not done, yet, is a factory reset.
Anyone had this issue or know how to fix it?
Anyone?
I've had the same issue.... Hope we can find a fix....
Have y'all tried the settings in the phone app (green phone icon)? There's a setting under "other settings" that says show contact info. Mine was on by default so I i don't know why it would be turned off.
Hope this help
Had a same issue. i am from India and i deleted the vodafone applications and boom it was solved.
could be similar issue. go to any phone number in your contacts and see which apps have use the permission and try deleting those apps.
