Continuous Prompt For Voicemail PIN

My G3 asks me every other day (sometimes several times a day) to input my voicemail PIN. I have nearly all, if not all, AT&T bloat frozen and a few others that aren't specific to AT&T. Is anyone else having this issue? Not sure if this has anything to do with it but the text transcribing is not working either.
Me to never had this before and voice mails show up late and sometimes not at all

I think it's an ATT issue, my wife's Note 3 just started doing this too. It's crazy. I'm tired of her texting me asking what her password is, lol.

Wouldn't surprise me if it was. I thought for sure it was at first but it's been ongoing for about 3 weeks now.
Call the voicemail number and follow the prompts to change your PIN. Takes about 20 seconds and you won't be prompted again.

How can I remove the + sign on outgoing/incoming calls?

Hey everyone! I just bought myself a Verizon Note 5 (SM-N920V) and I bought an unlock code in order to use a prepaid service here in the USA. My Cricket sim card works fine (Data, calls, etc). The only issue is that every time I do an outcall, there is a plus sign (+) that automatically appears after I press the green call button. Same thing with incoming calls. It is an issue because it does not recognize my already saved contacts on incoming and when I do an outgoing call, it thinks I'm doing a international call because of the + sign which is a hassle. Is there a way I can permanently remove this from the system? Thanks.

You didn't even need to buy any unlock code for the Verizon variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 because ALL Verizon variants are already sim unlocked so you got ripped off!! Check and see if there's an update for the phone using Smart Switch on a Windows computer..

Yea. I know. It's okay. It was only $10. I updated it using Smart Switch a couple of days ago and it still gives me that plus sign.

Try downgrading then back to Lollipop. If that doesn't work then I don't know what to tell you without root access..

Alright I understand. Can you provide me with the way to root the device? Maybe sending me a link to the instructions? How would I remove the plus sign even after I root? Do you think installing CM or a custom made ROM is better than a the default?

Lol!! That's not going to happen on the Verizon variant phone! There's no root access as of yet or CM.. You're basically stuck. Don't ever buy Verizon for that matter.

Gear S2 will not get sync code and overheats

I got a free gear s2 from ATT with my Note 7. The first one overheated and was dead within 2 hours from trying to get a numbersync code. They sent me a second one, no overheating, but it still will not receive a sync code. It also says calls not forwarding periodically when I walk away from bluetooth area. I have a 3rd one coming but what in the world is stopping it from getting a sync code? ATT chat said its an issue with the gear and not on their end. Any suggestions?

I had same issues with about a 2 week old S2. It started to over heating while charging to the point it shut off as it was too hot. Then after it cooled down the number would not sync. I called Samsung - had to send it back to them - say they do not replace them as it's cheaper to repair them. That was 30+ days ago and still waiting for some kind of back ordered part. ATT has been super about it as they keep giving me credit on my account to pay for the usage I'm being billed for. Samsung makes great stuff but their customer support needs fixing!
I had the same problem with my s6 edge. I had to soft reset watch. When u did this, the phone chimed up and updated gear app. Has stayed synced since. Messages are still finniky though.

It says Verizon s7 in your post.......Verizon s7's come unlocked for most GSM carriers. Sounds like it could possibly be a network problem, sim card problem, or maybe incorrect APN settings. Could actually be a lot of things really but thats what comes to mind first. If I were you I would start over. Flash Verizon or U firmware and go from there, the U firmware can be found in the ATT s7 section.

Call & Text on other devices on US VZW

Has anyone got Samsung Call & Text on other devices working on Verizon devices?
I really want this feature on my phone and my tablet Verizon Galaxy Tab S7+.
Thanks
I installed the apk on my note 10 plus. Only one version would install, 2.1.00.48.
I was able to enable it on my phone, but it still doesn't work.
It doesn't work on AT&T or Verizon.

We know, we were hoping to make it work, sort of like enabling Samsung cloud.
I can text from my tablet with call and text from other devices enabled, but I can't receive text. The phone doesn't work at all.

The only way you will get it to work is to flash the unlocked firmware on your Note 20 Ultra. I have the Unlocked Note 20 Ultra being used on Verizon and the S7+ wifi. The Call and Text on other devices work flawlessly. The only thing you will lose is Verizon Video Calling. I have wifi calling and visual voicemail.

Oh, this is a good news for me. I honestly don't use the Verizon Video Calling. Do you have the link for the unlocked firmware for Note 20 Ultra?
Do you know if there is an unlocked firmware for Tab S7+ Verizon?

You can find the unlocked for the 20 in this forum. No idea about the tablet. Cannot cross flash that I bet. You will have to use the Verizon Messages app for text and calls on both then.

I downloaded the 2.1.00.48 package last night from APKMirror, installed it and got my S8 and Tab S6 working on Verizo-crap! First go, didn't appear to work when I tried calling. Uninstalled and issue was still there, where I then noticed my Network Type had changed. Reset the connection, tested Calling, Ok. Tried install again, checked Calling and it Works! Tried Messaging but it wasn't initially working. Tried again a few hours later and it Works! I believe the SMS Cache was being created for the S6 and not in sync with the S8 on my first try. Couldn't believe it, but it's all working. Have to thank insights I got on this forum and others. I'm in the US in the Chicagoland area. S8 is running on 9, Tab S6 is running on 10.

When you say you got them to work flawlessly did you mean through the android messages app or the Verizon messages app?

Will only work with unlocked firmware. You can convert your Verizon Note to unlocked firmware. Just do a search it is very easy.
My phone is paid off? I believe it is unlocked. Or is there a certain type of Unlocked Firmware that I need to Download?

You need to use odin and the newest unlocked firmware to convert your Verizon Note to and Unlocked Note. Unlocked device not Carrier unlocked. There are threads that explain doing this in this forum.

Alright! That sounds awesome! I really appreciate it. I came from 8 years with Crapple and finally said I am done. But with Android Software, there is so much to do and so easy to mess something up. I kind of miss the simplicity of the Apple. I just like how smooth everything worked on apple. Now I am having to go through all this stuff just to sync my Samsung Messages. Like really.
Thank you for all your help. If I need anything with this, I am coming to you, is that ok?

Everything you need is in the Guides, New and Discussion forum Section. Just look in there. You will not need me. I buy unlocked so I do not have to do that. If your Samsung tablet is a Verizon branded one this will not work and you will need to use their messaging app. It will only work with the Wifi tablets.
