I have a Verizon Blackberry that has been sitting in a drawer for 4 years. It was given to me when I was helping someone out with their computer. I am not sure where the phone comes from originally. It was wiped when I received it. The other day, I gave it to my little sister so she could play with it, and she immediately tried calling my phone. The call went through. I haven't ever activated this phone, but it can make outgoing phone calls. All outgoing calls show up as restricted. It can't receive or send text messages. When I try to call the number that the phone says it has, I get a generic voicemail and the phone does not ring. Noone ever answers the number, or calls me back if I leave a message. On outgoing calls the 1 and the area code have to be dialed, otherwise I get an error message saying that this phone is not active at this time. Does anyone have any idea what this phone is or why it still makes outgoing calls?
Bump... any ideas?

Anyone here using tmo with their S2? when in stand alone are you able to take/make calls and have them look like they're coming from your cell number?
(trying to figure out if tmo screwed my setup)
if you are connected via bluetooth, your calls made from the watch should look like your cell phone number
if you are in "stand alone" mode, with no phone connected, it should look like your watch phone number is making the call
how do text messages from your cell get to your s2 if in stand alone? (just on the s2 number?)
they dont get forwarded to your watch when in stand alone if the text is to your cell phone number, since your watch has a different phone number than your cell..
tmo mislead me then. good times. they told me in stand alone all my calls and texts would use the same number as my ph. thanks for the info.
If you have remote connection on, they do forward.
where do you enable that?
thanks
On your gear, go to settings-call-auto forward I believe will do it
I believe that just forwards calls, NOT texts..
I have mine linked with a moto x pure. Although it doesn't save them in the messaging app, I can reply and read, and get texts remotely
on my nexus 6. no matter what settings I use, I do NOT get texts forwarded to my watch; everything else, like emails, facebook, etc does get forwarded, but no texts..
Mine works in standalone with watch number and with cell number when connected with Bluetooth. When remote connected all calls forward after 4 rings on my cell and all text messages are forwarded. I had to call t-mobile to get it working properly. They said the had to change the way the auto forwarding was setup on the network. I would suggest calling them if yours doesn't function as mine does

On a Samsung Note 5 my text get forwarded to me when I am in stand alone mode. My phone is on Verizon, my Gear S2 is on T-Mobile. When I leave my phone at home (phone is on), my text are forwarded. If I turn the phone off the text do not come through. When I leave my phone on and am using the Gear S2 in standalone (physically separated from my phone), I get all notifications, calls, text, social media, etc...
good news/bad news.
I've got everything working as I'd hoped. I had to trade in my LG G3 and now have a samsung phone. I see more apps in the gear store, and I noticed when I reset the watch, I now have different options in the call forwarding area than i had before. I honestly believe that the watch was made to work with samsung gear only...and any other handsets are an afterthought.
Also, it works on it's own with autoconnect. I turn off bluetooth, and the watch goes to stand alone, and once remotely connected tells the handset to fwd calls/sms to it.
I am straying here from the original issue but I think this is related. I have a Moto X Pure (MXP) on AT&T. I have the AT&T Gear S2 (GS2) LTE. I am going to be verbose with this. Both have unique SIM's, IMEI's, phone numbers. I have successfully forwarded the MXP# to the SG2# when connected over the LTE network. MXP will ring 4-6 times, then roll over and ring to SG2 2-4 times. Voicemail goes to SG2.
I have used the watch's settings and S. Gear app settings to forward/unforward (so I thought). I have recently noticed I am not getting voicemails on my phone (doesn't happen much anyways as I don't get many calls I don't pick up). Odd part is that more than once, the voicemail on the GS2 only pops up when I disconnect bluetooth connection between devices. I have figured out this is likely tied to when the GS2 is connected via bluetooth to the MXP, it acts in headset/handsfree mode and controls my MXP dailer.
When I go into S. Gear app, under call forwarding, I see "Turn Off" as "Deactivated XX:XX". When I push Turn On, I see "a request has been made..." on the MXP and "Request has been made..." on the GS2. Toast on MXP after success is "Call Forwarding, Registration was successful". Turn On shows "Activated XX:XX". Then I push Turn Off, and see "A request has been made...." on the MXP, then a "Call forwarding, Connection problem or invalid MMI Code" on the MXP, and then a "A request has been made..." on the GS2. No error on the watch. Funny is that under Turn Off, it shows "Deactivated XX:XX" again.
Calls first go to MXP, then to GS2 and end up in GS2 voicemail. When to MXP Dailer settings, Calls, Call Forwarding. Interestingly, 3 of last 4 options for call forward show forwarding to the GS2. When I click on any of the 3 of the 4 forwarding, I can push Turn Off. Error toast shows up as "Your operator doesn't support disabling call forwarding when your phone is busy". What constitutes "busy"?...and why can't I turn this off?

UPDATE: I went to the Call Forwarding wiki and used some of the codes to help. ##67#, ##61#, ##62# were used successfully. All is back to normal. I can pick up via the watch, transfer to the phone, reject as needed. Voicemail goes to the MXP as expected. Network really wouldn't let go of the number. I am sure there is a good reason for that but don't get why.
Hello,
I got a Gear s2 and i love it but recently its starting to act bizarre. Randomly when people call me it goes straight to voicemail. It doesn't even give me a notification on my phone that i got a miss call. Sometimes it goes straight to my gear s2 and shows nothing on my phone and sometimes the opposite. I dont know whats wrong with it. has other people been having the same issue? My gear s2 is the 3g version, ATT, and i do have number sync on! All help is appreciated !
Thank you
On the watch, under connections If I turn mobile networks from automatic to always on, the mobile data selection in the same menu branch usually goes green. If not turn it on manually and then things start working. However, If I reject a call using the watch it hangs up on the caller without voicemail. Letting the call ring until it automatically goes to voicemail works. Turning off the Bluetooth also makes things work without the above change, but I think that uses more power and for sure more mobile data from att.
Hello, so I recently went from sprint to t-mobile, ported my number, etc. The plan was to flash U onto my g930p but I'm stuck on sprint's qjp3/series 5 firmware until a compatible U or even T firmware is released. I have had a couple of issues with my device that have sort of popped up over the month or so I have been on tmobile, namely that I cannot receive calls, every time someone calls me they are sent straight to voicemail. I do receive notifications for voicemail and the voice messages themselves, but that's it. I can make outgoing calls, however usually the first attempt at an outgoing call fails, then further attempts actually dial. Also, upon restarting the device I always have to cycle airplane mode in order to get the data to catch and start working. SMS and MMS work fine. If anyone has any insight into solutions to these problems, particularly the not receiving incoming calls, I would greatly appreciate it.
My phone updated 5 days ago to Android 11.
Its a stock rom, not rooted yet.
Ever since then my phone will not allow any calls to get through,
The phone (sometimes) rings once and the caller gets put through to answer phone.
I then get a notification to state its a missed call.
its as if its stuck in DND.
So far i have missed 17 calls.
DND is off,
I have reset the cache,
Booted in to safe mode and it still does the same,
Callers in favorites do not get though,
Callers calling back twice straight away dont get through,
All apps are updated as of this morning as well and the issue is still happening.
I have a scheduled DND on from 06:00 to 13:00 (night worker) and 22:00 to 06:00 when im not on nights,
This has worked flawlessly since i have had the phone, and also on previous phones. I also turn DND on and off as and when required.
Now the issue is it appears to be stuck in DND, by that i mean EVERY call goes straight to voice mail.
DND shown as being off, in the pull down menu and the main settings menu.
Manually DND on - 1 ring straight to voicemail Manually DND off - 1 ring straight to voicemail
Auto DND exactly the same.
I only noticed this as i was waiting for a few important calls, and when i checked the phone saw a load of missed calls.
Now i have reset the phone, tried this in various different locations so its not signal strength related,
tried it with wifi calling on and off as well.
I've also checked the following as well.
Block unknown / private calls is off.
Caller ID/spam is off.
All call alerts are on. I have multiple ringtones assigned.
Auto answer is off. wifi calling is currently on. (still issues when not connected to wifi)
Call forwarding is off
call barring is off
Call waiting is on.
Fixed dialling is off.
Phone version is 12.1.02.12
Call version is 12.0.01.30
Latest versions are installed.
Phone is correct default app.
Any one else have the same issues and managed to fix it? any ideas?
Dont want to do a full reset yet as i dont have access to back up everything.
Cheers
Mac,
