In the phone-tools-options-Services menu, I can set various network services. When I select Call Forwarding, there are three options: Forward when unavailable, when busy and when no answer. I want the when busy option unchecked, because I want to use the second line coming in, even when I am on the phone and want to be able to switch between conversations. Unfortunately, everytime I uncheck the box, send the new settings to my operator and then ask for the settings again, the box is checked again. ANyone know how to correct this? Or is it ok when the box is checked? I really need to be able to switch between calls!

T-mobile users, I have a question; if you go into the phone settings of your phone(options) and get to services. The option for call forwarding it has 2 checkboxes 1,for busy and another one for unavailable. Which one of the two is related to "ignoring the incoming call". I'm testing out this free service that lets me direct some calls to there mail-box and lets me listen to the message in real-time. I don't want to give up my primary voice box but would like to know how to direct certain callers to the other mail-box; right now I have it set up to go to the other box by typing in the number as busy but its hit and miss or should I put the other box number in both busy and unavailable?
Any and all ideas welcomed.
Nobody knows the answer for this?
Hi folks,
I've got a problem with the call diversion on the Xperia. Today I went skiing and let my phone at home so I wanted to forward all incoming calls to my girlfriend's phone. I openend the phone options and wanted to set the call forwarding, but I could just set it to "mailbox". I could not chose any phone numbers or contacts to forward the calls to. With all my previous phones the call forwarding was no problem but the xperia doesn't seem to let me do as I want.
Any solutions?

have exactly the same problem with winmo. I see no chance to forward calls to another phone no.
Any solution would be appreciated.
I can type in a number and forward my call to that number... did you try that or you were just trying to choose from a pull down menu?

I already tried that but the network did not save the settings so no call forwarding was set. But even if it would work like this I won't be very happy because I see no reason to write the desired phone number down just to type it in a few seconds later. There have to be a way to get the contacts shown in this menu.
Ok so when i first got my N1 i remember seeing GV on the market, it didn't come stock. I downloaded it and while doing the setup you can decide to use it as your voicemail or not, i decided not to use it. No problems, still got my voicemail normally.
So i flashed cyanogen 5.0.4.1 the other day and now i notice that whenever i get voicemail it comes through google voice, i don't like this because now i can't use the t-mobile visual voicemail app i have. When i check for voicemail on that app now i get nothing, they're only on GV.
I've gone to Settings > Call Settings > Voicemail Service and checked the bubble for "My Carrier" thinking that would work, well, it didn't. I checked if i could disable it in the GV settings too and there's no option for it.
I've even gone to the marketplace to try and uninstall it but the uninstall option is greyed out, im guessing because GV comes stock now and is not a removable app.
Can anyone shed some light on how i can either get my normal voicemail working again or get rid of GV altogether?
Much appreciated
tl;dr version: i dont want google voice being my default voicemail, tried to disable it, didnt work, cant uninstall it. I want to get the old normal notifications for voicemail. Help please
Sorry for the double post, figured it out.
In case anyone else is having this problem, go to:
Settings > Call Settings > Call Forwarding
and click disable for:
"Forward when busy"
"Forward when unanswered"
"Forward when unreachable".
For some reason they will all have your google voice number enabled and when you click disable on them individually they revert to your carrier's voicemail number.
With the recent OS releases for the Epic, we've lost functionality to auto-reject calls or send them straight to voicemail. I searched here, but didn't find much. With all the "political survey" calls I've been getting lately, I figured there's got to be some way to do this, and for free.
There is.
First, you'll need "Any Cut" from the market. Create a "new shortcut" and then select "activity". Look for an activity called "call settings". Most likely there'll be two. The first one worked on my phone, I had to pick the second on my wife's phone, so this is a bit of a trial and error process. The one you want, when clicked, will give you a screen that has "All Calls" at the top.
For whatever reason, this is the menu that's hidden in the OS. It's there, but you just can't get to it...or at least I didn't find a way. At any rate, click on "all calls" and look for the "auto reject" selection, which is the second one. You'll have to click on "enable auto reject". Then you can start entering numbers into the "auto reject list". Hit the menu button to add numbers. The format for the numbers doesn't contain dashes, so for 123-456-7890, you'd enter 1234567890.
So, now when a number calls you, your device won't ring, you'll get a momentary dialog box that tells you a call was auto-rejected and they get sent straight to voicemail.
Enjoy!

For those who don't use google voice, this is great! Thanks!
I use mr number in play store. Its free and easy to setup. You can also set to block text.
If you don't want to install Mr. Number due to bloat of that particular app, then you can try the below paid app if rooted.

You can also achieve the same thing by logging into your account on Sprint website.
Go to "My preferences" tab and on the bottom in the section "Limits and permissions" you'll find Block Voice, Block Texts etc.

This is what I did when I got sick of my cable co.'s sales calls. It works well. That's a relief too because when I tried this feature before (on a different rom/radio, maybe that affected it?) it wouldn't allow any calls in or out while on roaming when used. But now it's fine.
Standard Android supports internet calling; Call > Setting > Internet Calls
Samsung sometimes disable it in some regions via CSC feature.
/csc/features.xml : <CscFeature_Contact_EnableIPCall>true</CscFeature_Contact_EnableIPCall>
Enables SIP calls, but it doesn't seem to be working on my Note 4.
Do any of you have internet calling enabled? If yes, can you post your /csc/features.xml file?
Thanks.
anyone got a solution for this?
I believe this should help. did for me

I can't download it from play ... i suspect it doesn't work on lollipop and the developer made the choice to block it for lollipop devices ...
i'll search the apk and try it ...
but i guess the apk is playing with the settings too, maybe someone could give a hint on what and where to change in the settings
thanx for the answer!
wifi sucks too since lollipop ...
Hi guys
internet call works fine on Note 4
if you create a contact with a SIP profile (like [email protected] - may be done online and synchronized) and try to call it then you receive an error and the setting to add any SIP accounts open. register and call works fine.
after my test i removed all SIP accounts in order to force the error again and enter the menu.
I guess if i don't remove all those accounts the the menu is vanished forever.
I wasn't able to activate the setting for allow to receive calls.
So...
It works but the menu-entries are disabled. Shame on you Samsung!
My hope One of you freaksters and androidteers can do something however to enable those two entries in the call settings menu.
live long and prosper
Ben
PS
You can remove the SIP accounts as long as you can open the setting in the "history" but better kill after your experiments
any news on this one ?

How do you manage to remove your SIP account ?
I manage to have SIP enabled with CSipSimple : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.csipsimple
But the calls to mobiles don't work.
EDIT : Damned ! That was tough !
I managed to launch the SIP settings window with adb.
This is the command
Code:
adb shell am start -n "com.android.phone/com.android.services.telephony.sip.SipSettings"
And you're done !
The settings window for adding an account is here. You can now delete/add acounts
You can install Quick Shortcuts Maker too. Look for "sip" in the normal search. There's only one answer.
But better, search for "account" and create a shortcut to Phone Account Settings. You can now choose to receive the calls, define which account must be used for calls, create/delete/modify accounts.
If you install Nova Launcher you can access loads of hidden functions, including Phone Account Settings. To do this you add a Nova widget called Activities, scroll down to Phone (third instance with 96 sub-entries), and from the list of sub-entries select Phone Account Settings. Then use the shortcut it creates to access SIP account settings, and voila.
