When I try to send a text message or try to get to my phone options such as call forwarding, I get this message, " The phone is not ready, Wait 15 seconds and try again." The phone worked at first, I was able to send one text message but now nothing. I had a software problem and had to hard reset it. I can make phone calls no problem though. When I go to settings>phone, it gives me the same message.
I have done most of the registry hacks and I am wondering coudl these have caused the problem. I have searched the cingular forum and found nothing yet. Basically it does not seem to be connect to the network for me to set things up but I can make calls. I can use media net as well to access the internet. Any suggestions? I am located in texas by Houston. Thanks
how do i get rid of it, everytime i restart the phone, it comes back...its pissing me offfff LMAOOO HAHA....please anyone...help meeee
Did you ever figure this out?
I'm having this problem too since the latest rom upgrade. Seen a few others with the same problem after upgrading as well. I'm using ATT US X1a rom1.03.948.8.
I've tried a hard reset, swapping the sim out (as mentioned in another thread), using forwarding cancel codes (##62#), and obviously the normal call forwarding settings on the phone. It clears up the problem for a few soft resets, then it comes right back again.
call forwarding..
you seem to have call forwarding turned on.
Phone - Menu - Settings - services - call forwarding - get settings
there you will have all these type of settings like forward to number with no answer and also forward all calls.. just uncheck them all i guess.
Thanks

In NAM on AT&T, call forwarding is always turned on for something. Normally, it's turned on only for no answer and unreachable.
The phone should not show the call forwarding icon when these are the only services activated.
I don't understand how or why it happens, but I will occasionally get the call forward icon showing when I have nothing special turned on.
It will eventually go away, usually after I've had to power the device for some reason. Note, however, that it will not necessarily go away if I power the device to the specific purpose of removing the call forwarding icon.
I've never figured out what makes it show or why it goes away.
Lucky for me, I'm not too troubled by it.
Hmm
I think this problem is carrier related, (carriers have control over your call forwarding) because I have had this problem on many different phones from different manufacturers over the years. Not on my Xperia yet though.
Thanks for the replies. As stated in the earlier post, I have already tried unchecking, rechecking etc. As soon as it connects to the network it goes away. It seems to be an issue with the newest rom though as the previous rom does not have this issue at all (for me at least).
Call forwarding is definitely on the carrier side, but as soon as the phone connects to the network to pull call forward settings, it will always change the icon to the correct status (ie icon is there when forward all calls is on and not when it's not), which tells me that it's probably an issue with the rom, not the carrier. You're right about the settings George, but unfortunately I do use call forwarding from time to time and need to know when its truly on or off .
I've tried tweaking the cf values in the registry as well at hklm\software\htc\phone without any luck.
The call forwarding icon is also showing on my X1 I am on Orange UK.
I guess it can't be fixed.
Guys in US with AT&T.
I've got this issue that might be stupid but I suffer from it really bad. Everytime I get a new voice message, a text comes in with weired notes (which I know is for the phone to notify me) but I have to delete the sucker everytime. Or everytime I am in the voice box, it sends me another txt for deletion/
How can I get rid of this?
Do you guys have a good visual voice message system installed?
AT&T doesn't support any other phones except what they sell. AHhh
Thank you all.
Oddly enough my problem went away. I still think it's a ROM issue. I was playing with some other roms and eventually ended up flashing back to NAM R2AA008 (1.03.948.8). Restored my old config with full SPB backup and I haven't had the problem since.
I'm guessing that "if" it was a settings issue, the backup would've just recreated the issue. Plus hard resets didn't make the problem go away either. I even tried changing to a new sim as some people tried in other posts. But completely reflashing the rom seems to have done the trick for me at least.
The only difference that I can see is that I did the first update through SEUS. All the other flashes were done the old fashioned way. Not saying this would work for others, but it's been gone for weeks now for me.
Solution
Dial ##21# on the X1.
The "Call Forwarding" icon will disappear on the top bar of your X1. But, it won't affect your call fwd settings in the operator's mobile system.
P.S. I mean it won't change the call fwd settings defined by operator in the mobile system, e.g. no answer and the call will be directed to voice mail system.
##21# is the function code to cancel call fwd setup by your phone. If you did setup some call fwd scenarios on your phone, the call fwd icon will be displayed as an indicator for call forward is active.
For the purpose of just get rid of the icon right after power on or soft reset the phone, I think it is a simple solution.

I think most of the people having this problem on the thread are referring to a strange bug that seems to be affecting a small percentage of users. I've seen the same problem posted on a few other sites/threads as well. It doesn't really have to do with call forwarding being on at all, it's just that the icon is there. Using the forward codes or forcing an update will make it go away temporarily, but for me it kept eventually coming back no matter what I did. When my phone had the problem, I tried 21, 69, 67, 61. None of them made the issue go away permanently.
My X1 has this kind of problem as well. It is the problem from X1 itself, maybe the X1 can not log into the 2G or 3G network very well.

Whoa. LOL... I haven't seen this since the old Synergy Motorola days when we were all fascinated with foreign firmware.
I do not have this issue with the generic NAM or generic UK ROM in their latest iterations.
I guess the first thing anybody would normally suggest is to make sure you're on one of these ROM.

This is a carrier related issues. Some carrier has 2G and 3G network that if the area is not covered by 3G network, Internal using forward to their own 2G network in order to let the phone work. It happen not just on the X1, It happen on all other WM base phone I have before. However, if your carrier has only a single network whether it is 2G or 3G. This forward logo will go away. Good example. the 3 mobile Network in Hong Kong has 2G and 3G separate and on my X1, which use the 3 mobile has the forward logo all the time but on my Touch HD, I use the Smartone network which have a combine 2G and 3G network and you never see the forward logo.
Just so you know, same problem here.
The solution? I heop someone makes a pretty version for the "Call forwarding" icon haha.
With the help of Bxsteez I have fixed this issue with the R2 rom always doing this...
WC
Since the last firmware update, I have the same icon showing up.
But there is a cure at least for US AT&T.........
Like it has been said before go to phone setting
Select Call Forwarding and hit the get setting button...
Once it retrieves the setting from AT&T net, the icon goes Bye-Bye!!
I have to do this every hard-reset or complete power down...
This what works for me...

Same here for T-mobile
Same problem on my X1 and I am using HK 3 network..
When Im listening to my Pandora internet radio from my G1 in the car, the worst thing I hate is when someone calls me! It stops the music, and sometimes it will start back up right after the call ends, but sometimes it hangs and doesn't want to reload, and I hate being interrupted in the middle of a good song, is there anyway an app can be created that you can turn on (preferably with a widget) that sends everybody's call to the voicemail? Then when im done with the internet radio, I can turn calls back on? I know that it can be done by using call forwarding from settings, but that's too much, I just want a one click app that can do it right away, besides Im on a month to month plan right now (called Flexpay with T-mobile) and call forwarding doesn't work with it.
if one already exists please share...thanks.

That would turn off all wireless connection and kill his internet radio..
Well its quite simple to come up with a convenient way to forward the calls straight to VM and deactivate that mode after you are done listening to Pandora.
Tmobile has a series of star and pound codes that allow quick configuration of call forwarding/cancelling call forwarding. You could use the shortcuts to create a one click dial for two different numbers. One to enable the mode "Straight to VM" and one to disable this mode.
This may not be what you are looking for but is definitely an easier way to help you out.
This is your activating number if you are using Tmobile VM system:
**21*18056377249# (Note some may provide the same number except with a "3" where the "9" is at the end, they both should work)
This is your deactivating number:
## 21#
***SORRY! I did not realize you were Flexpay until just now. This would only work for Postpaid accounts. Tmobile just recently started the ability of letting Flexpay customers convert their accounts into postpaid. Your account may or may not qualify to do this and there is no extra charge of course to convert. Contact customer care to check and see if you would be eligible.
Hope this helps.

Call Blocker - Free - you might here it ring once but after it sends the calls directly to voicemail.
set the option to Block Phone numbers or something like that.

Only problem if it rings once first is that would stop the music for the OP. But thanks I didn't know there was an app like this!
maybe try this

this will do right here my friend, Thank's so much!!! gosh...how come I couldn't find this, I been surfing the market back to front, oh well, I knew someone would come through.
Edit: only allows wifi, can't get my edge/2g/3g services,....but ah well that'll do for now, I've found that Pandora loads much quicker on wifi anyway, with my extended battery I can run wifi all day, only thing is Im constantly connecting to the closest signals in range, anyway I could set up unlimited wifi access with T-mobile?
I ported my phone number over from AT&T. My Incredible was supposed to ship on the 22nd. It shipped on the 24th, with no reason given. Then, I wasn't home on the 25th to sign for it, so I had to trek to the FedEx place to pick it up. It took me an hour waiting in line. I get home, and follow the directions to activate my phone. It activates, programs the phone, and reboots it. Finally, I'm done, right? No. Instead of being able to call out, or receive calls, I can't. If I try to call out, it redirects my phone call to the activation process. If people try to call me, it rings and rings, but I don't receive the call.
I tried reactivating again. It failed this time, and redirected me to customer support. I'm in a house, all alone, with no landline. Therefore, I can't call anyone, not even the 800 numbers for support. The only way I was able to get support earlier was because the activation process redirected my call when it failed. The problem now is that because of the time, their support is closed. Earlier, they had me remove the battery and wait. That didn't work. So I had to get ahold of a different rep because that one couldn't call me back due to my issue. That one told me to wait a few hours. The issue still hasn't improved. It's weird, because on their end it says my phone is activated, and I can use the data network on my phone, but I can't send or receive sms/mms or calls.
Help?

You didn't specify that you've done this (per se), so I'm going to suggest that you dial *228 and press for option 1. Let it do it's thing and reboot.
If it still doesn't work, Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks. Make sure Airplane mode is NOT checked. Scroll down and make sure Mobile network IS checked. Then tap Mobile Networks on that same page. You MAY want to check the first two boxes, but then tap System Select and check Automatic.
Hope this helps.
Curious, but did you bother calling customer service?
It is possible your account is messed up and needs to work done by a CS rep to fix.
I've had something similar with other phones in the past that had to be resolved by CS.
*611 for Customer Service. Free, doesn't require you to have an actual plan, just be able to connect to the VZW network (which if you are connecting to the activation/programming you are) They will be able to help you. I suspect your number wasn't yet ported or the port wasn't completed. There are at least two systems they need to activate your account information in and I'd guess one completed and the other didn't. Stupid system if you ask me. They will ask you to remove the battery from your phone again at some point, it is actually a required step, not like when internet service providers tell you to reboot your modem... I know it is frustrating but you may have to continue to call until you get someone competent enough, or you can just ask to be elevated when you call.

As an update, it began working at 4AM that day. What happened was apparently an outage in their backend services, and it cause my activation to go through, but the tieup caused it to not remove the callblock in place.
I had tried all the things you guys recommended before I posted this thread.
It was ridiculous, I couldn't even call customer support using *661. In fact, the support reps I got earlier couldn't even call me back if we got disconnected.
Anyhow, all is well now, and I'm really enjoying my phone. A nice switch from my HTC Fuze with AT&T.
I've just bought a second hand omnia 7, i put my sim card in and went straight on facebook so i assumed it was fine.. i then realised i couldnt make calls or send texts, and none of my calls went through. i tried it on a different sim and had the same problem.. HELP
I also have this problem any help? I cant make/send calls or texts but can get on G and browse the internet, could this be a problem with the setting on the phone? APN's maby? done 2 factory resets and recieved a text from windows phone saying welcome but thats all it will do....
I have the same problem, after some time. Messaging and calls stop working...
Has anyone come up with a fix for this?
I have full signal on an unlocked Omnia 7 but it is a simple case of not being able to make any calls or texts (or receive them for that matter).
Maybe they tamperd in Diagnostic Tools. I messed aroun and had a hard time restoring the radio settings. Look for diagnostic codes here you find a toon if codes to use. Hit this in your dial pad and you install and start the diagnostic tools.
##634#
You need to find the codes (cant remember em im afraid) that gives access to gsm/3G section.
Just had to look =P
- Hit *#32489# and you get to Cyphering. Mine is on
- Hit back once and you can press [5] RRC (HSPA). Mine is set to REL6
- If you back to the side where we could find the above [5]RRC option, you have below a Dual Mode setting. Mine says "Not ACT"
- When you type in *#32489# you can press back 2 times. There you can select option [7] Network settings. In there you can look if stuff is in automatic modes. Like...
[2] Band selection, mine is in automatic.
Well, there you have it. Something to compare to a working device. A hard reset won't put these values to default so you will have to look for your self. Now be carfull in there, you can do more damage if you dont acctully read what the pages says. If you understand what im saying, there should be no problems. Check out your settings and compare to mine. Se any diff just set it like i given advice on. Hope this helps..
Cheers for the advice but it hasn't helped as I have the same settings as you, another thing to add whenever I do try to make a call it comes up "00:00 Call Ended". I hope that may help someone in diagnosing the problem.
Have you tried downloading the Samsung Network Profile tool from Marketplace and then changing the Active profile to your SIM card?
Hvae you tried putting an unbranded ROM on? (even an old one as Zune will update with the unbranded ROM!!)
Same problem tried different ROMS but still have "Emergency Only".
The SIM is OK.
anybody found a fix for this problem ? im also suffering but the phone will receive texts and voice-mail on the orange network, it was on orange before i got it unlocked.
thanks hope there is help out there
