You could change your MSID/MIN in the PST setting to all zero's. Also go to the security in PST and change the username and password.

When my phone stars to ring sometimes I get the message: "device is busy. Call is being forwarded" This is not quoted, because I have Dutch WM6.1.
But I think it must be something like that in English
Anyway.. When I get this message, the call is forwarded to my voicemail.
This is very annoying, because I have to call back all the time..
Does anyone have a sollucion?
ty..
I think this means you have accidentally pressed the call end button which causes it to go to voicemail...
Have you checked the settings in system options and turned off the auto reject call option?

I can't remember exactly or check at the moment because I'm using a 6.5 rom. But I think you can access it by pressing the call accept button, then choosing options from the phone menu. Then that should bring up a tabbed menu, and its in there somewhere. There's definitely something there though as I remember changing it when I was using 6.1 last to get mine working fine.
In the services tab?
I disabled all forward call settings already.. No changes.
After the Google voice app update I have no setting for refreshing every 30 mins or so. Has anybody notice?
Very cool, looks like voice is moving along nicely.
Come on VOIP!
Other forum alerted me to the update. Glad it finally got push in. Now I can turn off email notifications.
so do we have to manually install google voice (or any other preloaded apps) so that they can get auto-updates from market?
The default on the updated app seems to be disabled notifications for some reason... anyone know why?

Because you no longer update by a time schedule anymore. It's all strictly push now.

Right... but the box to "Synchronize the Inbox" was unchecked. I checked the box, which also turned the notifications back on. I used my gf's phone to leave a test vmail, and it instantly notified me.
Are you saying that leaving the box unchecked will still push the notification automatically? I thought that we had to enable synching the inbox...

No, I'm saying it was turned off because the old sync no longer applies and perhaps some people don't want push.

Sorry i dont mean to Hijack the thread but I figured i'd ask here instead of creating a new thread. Can some one help me out with setting GV up, I have my number and all I just cant get GV to replace my T-mo voicemail.
I have tried all of the setting online and when I call my GV number. Any help would be appreciated.

On your phone, simply go to settings>call settings..and change your voicemail from My Carrier to Google Voice.
Wowwwww im special. I cant believe I overlooked that :facepalm: Thanks a TON!!!!!

No problem... just be aware that if you reboot the phone you need to go back into those settings and change it again. I don't know if the new update has fixed that little issue, as I suspect it's not with the GV app, but with the software on the phone itself. Hopefully it will be fixed soon though...
Any word or clue to whether or not Google Voice will ever implement picture messaging ?
So I've synced my Inbox, have all my notifications set-up, rebooted my phone, and am still not receiving ANY notifications for TXT messages...Anyone have any idea what might cause this? It's a bit frustrating blah, especially since I use GV text for a side business
I don't get the VM notification emails anymore, but I still get that blasted second txt msg whenever someone sends me a GV sms =/

That will happen, but if you scroll down further that in Call Settings and tap Call Forwarding settings, you'll see it's going to your GV number. The voicemail option just changes where your calls get forwarded to for voicemail.

It also changes what number is dialed when you hit the voicemail icon in the dialer. Try rebooting your phone and clicking the vmail icon... it will automatically default to the Carrier. You have to change it manually in Call Settings as I described for the dialer to revert to GV for vmail.

Uninstall the update. When you re-install after the sign part there is the option to setup for voicemail.

Ah, well I never use it because what's the point with Google Voice. I can see them and listen to them on the app without having to dial in and waste minutes.
In the Messaging app when SMS Message are threaded it displays a picture from the person the message was sent by, and another picture that is next to the SMS that are sent by Me. In the CM6.1 ROM the default Picture is a Grey Box...
Is there anyway of changing this?
I wish, this bothered me SO much at first..
Handcent allows it in the settings fairly easily well worth the small price to support good product that enhances my customization.
In CM, go to Settings -> Call Settings -> Additional Settings -> My Phone Number and put in your phone number.
Then make sure you have a contact with the picture you want to see in your contacts list associated with the same number.
And presto, picture.

Wish it would pull the picture from facebook like the original Slide ROM does, but at least the annoying gray square is gone..

Hi guys. I am also having this problem, admittidly with an HTC Saphire. I can't find any way to input "my number" anywhere. In settings "about phone" it says, number unknown and is greyed out. Anyone know how on a Saphire. Then maybe this would also fix my SMS picture problem.
Cheers, just in case.

The only downside I've found is that the setting doesn't stick through a reboot (so you have to put your phone number back in after each one). Upon checking, there's a bug tracker issue for that problem on the CM bug tracker so *shrug* hopefully it gets fixed some time soon.
Solution.
There is another longer thread somewhere on this, and the solution works, I have just done it.
Basically the sim card needs to be programmed with "my number". On my Magic, when you go to about phone, it would say number "unknown". Magic doesn't allow you to change this. Put your sim into another phone; I ended up using my girlfriends Backberry; and navigate to additional settings, or whatever, until you find Sim Card actions. Then in there edit sim card to show your phone number in international format (+44(leave out 0)**********).
Once done, pop card back into your phone, and as long as you have a contact with your number and picture logged away, then voila.
Works on any phone that allows you to edit sim card.
Hope this helps.

Madam*, I owe you a cookie.
*lol, couldn't find thanks so I clicked on your homepage...
Also doesn't need resetting after a reboot, however I had to reboot to make the pics stay after re-entering the messsaging app.
when i look at seeing>about>status>my phone number it says unknown.
i would like to find a way to enter my own phone number since it is needed for google voice.
ive tried looking at my sim toolkit but no option will allow me to enter my phone number.
please help.

Take your sim card out, insert it into a dumb phone that has the option of setting your own phone number and then back into your SII. Android can't recognize phone number, so this is probably the only way to do it.

Stick the SIM in any iPhone, go to Settings > Phone. Then edit "My Number".
This can also be done in any BlackBerry (as I did using a friend's Curve 8520), although I don't remember which menus I went into.
you can also do it on an iphone (as i have previously)

I just found a way to get the Galaxy S2 to display "My Phone Number" without having to go through putting it in another phone etc..
All I did was go to Settings -> Call -> Additional Settings -> Caller ID.
Then I just changed the selection from "Network Default" to "Show Number" then hey presto I went to Settings -> About Phone -> Status, then looked at "My Phone number" and it was displayed correctly in there with the country code and everything.
Hope this helps you guys out..
Cheers

unfortunately it didnt work for me, maybe the feature is disabled by my carrier.
Yep, didn't work for me either... I'm on Telstra Australia with an i9100 I bought elsewhere though it supports the 850mHz band...
Helluva lot cheaper than buying it from Telstra....
Can we do this using one of the SGS2 secret codes?

I have lineageos 14.1 and the default Phone app. When I call a number, I can't access the call pad. Also the 'on going call' option is missing from the top menu. I just uninstalled Should I answer? app and it must have messed something up. I tried reinstalling Phone but it didn't help.
Problem is with automated systems "press 1 to speak to... press 2 for ...." I can no longer access.

How exactly did you reinstalled it the phone? Did you wipe system and data and then flash rom along with gapps?
There was some setting that didn't have a value, in system preferences the default dialer app was set to "none". Changing it back to Phone fixed the problem.
