I'm integrated with google voice (using my existing sprint number).
1-2 calls a day (I only get 5-10 calls a day) will ring and ring and finally go to voicemail from the caller's perspective. With my phone sitting on the couch next to me all I'll get is the alert for the voicemail through the google voice app (no ringing, no missed call notification through sprint or google voice, ONLY a voicemail notification)
Anyone else having issues?
Yes, this happens to as well. Very annoying. To test it I had gmail open and my phone next to me and had someone call me. My phone started ring 15 seconds after my gmail alerted me there was a call incmming. This time varies, sometimes its immediate, and sometimes the phone doesn't ring before vm picks up. Gmail almost always was nearly instant.
I'm not integrated though I do forward to GV. While testing my call filtering scripts, about half the calls would simply not even ring or forward on my Epic, with and without the scripts enabled.

Is there any sort of log stored on the G1 that records why a call was dropped? I'm having a really bad issue with my G1 dropping calls, but it only happens in my apartment... I have 5 bars, 3G Signal, can hear the person on the other end very clearly and then I hear the dropped call tone and the call disconnects. This will happen within 30 seconds of an incoming or outgoing call being connected and will happen multiple times. I called T-Mobile and they opened a request to have someone look to see if it is an issue on the cell tower.
Mine just skips ringing altogether. Rings 4-5 times for the caller, and then to voicemail. I dont know they called until I get a missed call alert.
Just one more thing to "leave to the programmers" I guess LMFAO
same issue.
i have a lot of dropped calls with the lady. she has att so maybe thats the issue since sending mms to att is like prying out teeth. can receive but cannot send
hbguy
any solution to this ?
go back to your old phone until the next "update" comes out Thats what I have been doing Sucks having a phone that does cool stuff...except actually working as a phone
I'm pretty embarrassed to be asking something like this, but is there any way to nicely handle the following race condition:
1) You're talking to someone. The call drops.
2) You call them right back. The call goes straight to their voicemail, because it just so happens that they're calling YOU right now. It took a half-second or so it for you to realize what happened...
3) ... and now you just heard the call-waiting beep, and know the 'incoming call' message is going to appear on the screen in just a moment. Damn. It's too late to abort. If you hit 'end' now, it's going to decline the incoming call and leave you in their voicemail. On the other hand, if you hit 'send', it's going to keep the voicemail call active, and take the incoming call from the person.
In other words, you have two options, and both of them suck. What you REALLY want to do is kill the voicemail call, and take the incoming call.
Is there any good way to do it? Specifically on Sprint, but I'm willing to randomly try things known to work with other carriers, too, just in case it happens to work with Sprint as well.
Failing that, does the Android API expose enough of the phone to create a custom event handler that reacts to call-waiting events by comparing the number just dialed to the number on the caller ID, and if both are the same, forcibly terminate the first call and take the second?
I hate it when this happens too. I hadn't thought of a solution but it just occurred to me that pressing # ends voicemail on some carriers. Haven't tried it with Sprint yet but might be worth a shot.
I know I must be missing something easy here.
When I am on a call and I get a second call I can answer the call. I can transfer between the two calls, but I can't hang up on one of the calls. The second call seems to stay connected, even if the other party hung up the line.
How can I hang up on one of the calls without disconnecting both calls?
Thanks!
Yeah, it sucks. That's CDMA for ya. I always worry about it using my minutes because it's usually a landline that I stop talking to & switch back to a cell call.
I just drag the notifications bar down and click the end call button to the right of the person's name.
I've the S4 for a little over a week, but it's been a rather busy week so I haven't given it my full attention as yet. I really like it so far, I haven't gotten all the bells and whistles to work and I'm testing battery life with them disabled vs enabled etc. But I'm not really doing much else with it yet.
The only actual issue I'm having is receiving phone calls. When someone calls me, it takes a couple rings on their end before my phone starts ringing (I've encountered this with Sprint before though) but then when I try to answer the call, I don't get the person on the other end. I get a recorded message telling me I've got an incoming call from (name of caller in my contacts list) and if I want to accept to press 1 now. The message takes so long to get to that point that by the time it tells me to press 1 to accept the call, the call goes into voicemail.
I don't receive a lot of phone calls, but I would like to be able to actually answer them when I do. As of now when someone does call me I have to call them back.
This message plays AFTER I've 'accepted' the call on the screen and it plays through the handset not the speakers. I have Google voice set up for my voicemail.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Sounds like you have google voice setup or you used to. You will have to go to the site on your pc to disable it.

I thought Google Voice had something to do with it but I didn't think of checking the settings via PC.
For anyone else with the same issue: Google.com/voice>settings>calls> call screening off.
I recently disabled voicemail on my TMobile phone because I found out the hard way that Tmobile charges for voicemails that you receive while on international roaming, even if you don't pick up the phone.
The only problem now is that my phone will ring forever because there's no voicemail to forward to, unless I manually decline every call.
Is there a way to have the phone automatically do this after a certain amount of rings?
