My Nexus is currently stock and has developed a strange fault today...?
All inbound calls are diverted to Voicemail, there is no ringing or indication on the phone that a call is inbound, I can make calls okay and no settings have been changed in the o2 APNs.
I called O2 which was a waste of time as anticipated.
The only thing that has changed in last 24 hours is I installed and then uninstalled the "saymyname" app which speaks contact info on inbound calls.
Would a factory/hard reset fix this maybe ???
Go into your contacts and click on one and check to see if the option to send them directly to voicemail is set. It might have set this option somehow.
.
Try looking at your call forwarding settings. Some programs will change those as well

I recall seeing a post from here about the same issue. I was trying to look for it but no luck. So here goes nothing. I remember reading about forwarding calls from the number that the HTC Shift uses and the device will always reject the calls before it even gets forwarded. Just wondering if this still stands true. And if not, forwarding calls doesn't mean forwarding text too, correct?
Once again, sorry if this is a repost, but i tried.
There is still no solution 'til now for this issue. Shift will reject incoming calls by first ring tone. After this (in German T-Mobile network) I receive a SMS on the Shift with the data of the incoming call.

I had some crazy stuff happen to my phone with google voice shortly after I got my Incredible. My calls were going to straight to voicemail an nothing I could do would change that. I called verizon, and they had me turn off my phone, and then she activated it on a phone she had there. The phone rang fine for her. When She turned that phone off, and I dialed *228 #1 to reactivate mine it started working again.
There's also a GV number you can dial to activate google voice mail, and to deactivate it you can dial *73
So I guess, I'd try dialing *73 first and if that doesn't fix it, try reprogramming the phone. Lasty try vzw support.

I tried *73.. but since that was being dialed thru Verizon.. it wasn't going anywhere..
but I tried reprogramming the phone by dialling *228 and that seems to have fixed the issue.
thank you very much for your help.

I loved google voicemail, but hated that my phone would ring 6 times before switching over to googles side and the callers would have to wait for 6 more rings to get to my voice mail.
My friends stopped leaving messages and would just hang up.
Was there any remedy for this ?

Google is officially supporting it as a voicemail system now, so they actually have an option you can enable in your preferences if that's all you're using it for. Whenever it forwards from Verizon to your GV number it automatically goes to voicemail instead of ringing some more.
Also, it should be noted that voicemail is on Verizon's side. Whenever you use the Google Voice app and call the number it dials for you, you're actually calling a Verizon number. That number programs where to forward calls if you don't pick up.
Dialing just *73 should disable the custom voicemail number.
Edit: Just to be a bit more specific, I meant the preferences online, not the ones in app. https://www.google.com/voice#phones

Thx I'm going back to gvv
I have my sprint hero set to forward voicemail to my G Voice number. I have G Voice setup to go straight to voicemail and enabled voicemail forwarding.
What happens is when someone calls my number it rings, I dont answer, then it rings my google voice number which rings my cell again then it goes to voicemail.
So if I dont pick up I have 2 missed calls on my cell phone. Really annoying. I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Everyone suggests enabling the go straight to voicemail feature on G Voice but I've alread done that. Any ideas? thanks.
I'm having the same issue...
any luck fixing it?
You could have 10 phone numbers in google voice. What it does by default is if you miss a call on your cell it forwards it to all those numbers listed, including your cell again.
In the list of phone numbers there are settings, then you click advanced settings somewhere, and then there's a setting about "If calling this number directly" or something like that, with an option to go straight to voicemail.
Took me forever to figure that out myself.
Edit: Crap, never mind, your problem sounded so similar to what I was pulling my hair out over for a couple hours that I stopped reading the "I've already tried that" part. You didn't do something silly like put the google voice number in your list of numbers, did you?
Okay guys I have just found something interesting and would like to see what your opinions or if my idea makes sense.
With the new google calling on Gmail.com, I went into my gvoice setting and I saw that I can now forward my calls to gmail.com instead of to my cell phone. I have only checked gmail as the number to forward my calls to, so when I make a call it actually goes through gmail and not my cell phone. thus, its free?
The problem with this is that I can now make free calls out with my gv number but will not be able to receive calls on my cell if someone calls my gv number since its not being forwarded to my cell number.
I hope I am explaining myself clear enough
Pretty sure you just told all incoming calls to go to GMail, and that's it. You didn't change any setting for outgoing calls, you are still using your plan minutes. Because you are still calling an actual phone number.
Just because you change a setting in the Voice options doesn't mean your phone suddenly knows to do voip without any voip program to do it. Your phone is still using normal voice calls.
I think you're right now that I think about it more....my bad...
mod, please delete thread.
Wait, don't quit just yet. What provider are you with? If you have a plan that gives you phone numbers you can call without costing minutes, you can assign your GV number to that. You can then make and receive calls from your GV number without using minutes. I did this for about 6 months with Myfaves until I realized I just didn't make enough phone calls for it to be worth it.
Hi there,
I run a very small business and I'm occasionally on-site at my customers office most of the time. So whenever i'm out, i divert my office number to my Nexus 6P.
So the issue is that it's quite difficult for me to distinguish between a personal call or if it's a diverted call from my office to my Nexus 6P. Previously on Nokia or certain Samsung phones, there was an 'indicator icon' showing that it was a diverted/forwarded call. This helped me tremendously.
It's definitely a phone feature and *not* a carrier issue. Have downloaded 3 apps (2 free and 1 paid) from the Play store, but they all do not seem to work. Am on "Pure Nexus" ROM.
Any ideas how to get this resolved without carrying a separate phone ? Or perhaps i should contact the developer of "Pure Nexus" to get this resolved ?
Thank you and keep up the good work.
So the calls get forwarded and still show the number for the original caller? Every time I've used call forwarding it shows the number that they called which forwarded to me, not theirs.
Example, I call your cell directly from 555-1234 and you see that as the incoming number. If I called your office and it was forwarded to your cell, you see your own office number because that line is forwarding the call.
I guess it must depend on the phone system that is forwarding the call and how it actually works?

Hi Fury, yes the calls get forwarded and the original callers number appears perfectly.
I believe it doesn't depend on the phone system because i've used 3 old nokia's before and stock Galaxy S2 and Note 2 and a call forwarded 'icon' appears... this enables me to know which calls that come in is actually a diverted call from my office.
If i'm not mistaken, they have also built it in MIUI ROMS... so it's not the landline handset or telco provider, it's definitely in the OS of the phone.
Perhaps i should just write to the developer of Pure Nexus to add this little request
Thanks for the reply Fury.
Maybe you should try Forwarded Call Notification latest version:
