[Q] Sprint/Google Voice Integration Issues? - EVO Shift 4G General

I switched my Sprint number over to Google Voice about a month ago as part of the Sprint/GV integration. So far, so good, no problems.
I noticed before that if I sent a message from the stock SMS app, it'd show up in Google Voice. I thought it was a pretty handy feature. However, I noticed it hasn't been happening lately (within the past week or so). Has anyone else noticed this?
I don't know if this is a ROM issue (MikshiftG) or a Sprint/GV/Network issue or maybe it's just a feature they stopped enabling.
Just wondering if anyone else a) noticed this feature before and b) if it's still working for anyone else.

Has this been fixed? I plan to switch to sprint soon and was hoping this worked like this.

Mine still does this so im not sure what the problem is for you. I'm on the ota 2.3 update.

It must've been a temporary issue. Sprint was having SMS issues around the time this was happening... haven't had any problems since then.

Call Waiting Issue

Hey all!
so, I've got an odd issue that I've been seeing pop up lately on my MT4G. Not sure if it's just a settings issue or?
If I'm currently on a call, and someone else calls in, if the 2nd call goes to Voicemail it kills the 1st call as well.
Phone is rooted, and currently running CM7 Nightlies (#90)
Again, not sure if it's just a bad settings issue, or a bug in the ROM or?
Anyone else seen this or know how to resolve it?
Thanks!
I'm seeing the same issue on RoyalGinger 2.1.
I've noticed that the issue doesn't occur if you select to send the call to voicemail before the 30 seconds of "ringing time" ends.
Also, the device seems to drop the network entirely, and has to re-register with the network.
I've already replaced the device (for a different issue). So I've seen this on two separate devices. In addition, I put my SIM into another Android device at the same location and it worked as expected...
I think it's a Rom issue. It only happens to me on certain roms

Random Missing Texts Issue?

Anyone else having this issue?
http://www.techradar.com/news/your-samsung-galaxy-s8-might-not-be-receiving-every-text
I am on an Unlocked/BestBuy-bought S8 being used on Verizon. Never had any problems, and then suddenly started hearing from people (including the wife) that I'm not responding to texts. I then figure out - it's because I never got them. It's brutal, because some come through, and some don't, with no apparent correlation, and you don't know what you don't see! (Almost wish none came through, so I could say - text messaging is broken! Unfortunately, it's only "kinda" broken!)
So I did some searching and found this thread on Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/c...texts_on_s8_all_carriers_all/?sort=confidence
Some solutions I've found say it's a carrier/bloatware issue. Well, not for me - I have no carrier bloatware, and have been using Textra.
Others say it's any 3rd party texting app, so I went back to Samsung stock. They also were saying it could be the battery optimization putting apps to sleep, so I did see that Textra was being "monitored" (and I guess theoretically could be getting put to sleep while texts were coming in, and then not retrieving them after?). I disabled that as well, and have been checking on my usage on the VerizonWireless website - haven't noticed any missed ones since this weekend, but it's a pain to have to log on and reconcile texts on my phone vs. the website.
Apparently, Samsung is aware of it and working on a software update to correct it, but I haven't been pushed the rumored October update yet. Guess we'll see...
Anyone else have the issue or a solution?!

Mic not working during calls after root

Noticed within a few hours after rooting, my mic was not working. Callers could not hear me. This occurs for both regular calls and Hangouts calls. This dosen't seem to be a hardware issue as the mic works for google voice assistant. Seems to occur out of the blue, and so far ive been messing with settings and somehow the mic began working again, but the issue repeated itself later yet again.
Has anyone else had a similar issue?
Looks like im a loner with this issue. This may still be a HW issue. Might swap and get a new phone while i still can and see if the issue persists.
I have a river_amz I just obtained, waiting for sis to come over and get the FRP thing sorted. I'm going to be rooting immediately after unlocking bootloader. I will post here and let you know if I experience the same thing.
Have you found out anything since your last post regarding this btw?
No. It's been solidly working all day yesterday. Trying to make it fail again.
My only hope is its not a intermittent HW issue that will pop up bigtime after my return window expires.

So far, I've not experienced the issue on a rooted river_amz on 16_7.
Mic on MOTO G7 not working
I'm having an issue like this, but my mic just does not work at all. I'm pretty sure this one is a hardware issue because the only way I can talk to people is plugging in headphones. Do you have the regular G7, or the play/power/plus?

T-Mobile Pixel 4 Not Getting Certain Texts

Has anyone else had this problem? I've got a stock Pixel 4 from T-Mobile that just doesn't get texts reliably. Doesn't seem to matter whether the sender is on an iPhone/Android. Sometimes they'll come in days late from when they were originally sent - sometimes not at all. I've tried all sorts of different texting apps besides the stock one. I've exchanged the phone at T-Mobile for a new one with a fresh SIM card - same issue. If I factory reset the phone, I'll get a flood of all the missed texts and it may work fine for like a week until the problem creeps up again. I've tried with chat features on and off. Nothing seems to fix this and I've had friends tell me they had similar issues and only solved it by switching to a different phone, but I don't have that luxury since I don't have Jump On-Demand. Stuck with this BS and super disappointed considering it's Google's own phone.
Prior to owning the Pixel, my wife and I had the exact same issues with our OnePlus 7's. Text messages were even going to the wrong contacts. We tried everything to remedy the problem via OnePlus. We even contacted T-mobile and they tried resetting our networks as well. Nothing worked. I finally got a hold of a representative at T-Mobile that said they were upgrading the network in our area and multiple customers were experiencing the same issue. So, we immediately switched to another messaging app and let our contacts know the issue and the new preferable way of contact. Now we own the Pixel, our SMS texts are fine and haven't experienced any issues, but it's more likely related to the network than the phone. But I'm still paranoid after that experience, so we hardly ever text anymore and rely on another messaging app with family and friends.

Cant send SMS... Sometimes?

I'm hoping somebody has experienced this before and found a fix and can help me out...
All day I've been struggling to send SMS messages... I'm on 11.0.1.1, magisk rooted, with RICE installed. Everything was working great but today when i woke up, i was unable to send SMS messages...
I'm receiving them, but sometimes they are delayed and i get a few at a time with nothing coming in again for a short time after that, but i've made no changes to my phone in the last 2 days. I've rebooted a few times between then and now (twice yesterday, just because), so i cant really understand why i would just randomly be unable to send text messages or why they are received in bursts like this?
I've gone in and reset my "Wi-Fi, Mobile & Bluetooth" settings from within the reset options, and this appears to fix the issue, but only for a minute or so and suddenly they stop sending again... I thought maybe its the tower, so i used my daughters phone to text my wife and that worked perfectly fine. Immediately before and after, mine wouldnt send.
Any ideas, links, or guidance that might help me figure this out?
Since there's been some updates and no responses to my thread, i wanted to revisit this and see if i'm still the only one on earth with this issue.
The issue seemed to have completely gone away on its own, no idea why or how... But a couple weeks ago i decided to install the update to 11.0.2.2 on my IN11AA. Ever since, my phone will randomly stop receiving SMS messages completely. I can still send, just cant receive. The only way to fix this is to reboot.
Anyone else with this issue? Anyone find a reason for this? A fix perhaps?

Seeming this issue doesn't seem to be widespread, could be a carrier side issue?
It's a shame we don't have dual boot capabilities because you could have switched to stock and checked.
Also try a secondary SIM from maybe someone in your household and send using that SIM and see what happens.
I know there are delays after rebooting, I do a lot of magisk module work and every reboot try sending notifications using SMS or some other methods and I get around 3 mins no send or receive but not at the length you do.

I just had the issue again yesterday. Wife and I started texting eachother at about 8am, except, i didnt receive any of her messages until 5:30pm when she got home and told me she had been texting me. I rebooted 3 times, which once usually resolves the issue but not this time. I had to go into the settings and reset my WiFi/Mobile/Bluetooth settings, then it worked immediately.
Because of the solutions, i wouldnt think its a sim issue, but im going to test it anyway. I've factory reset a few times in the past and i still get the issue. I've had the issue while rooted and not rooted. Four of us have phones, 3 are Samsung and then there's mine, and mine's the only one with the issue.

What SMS app are you using? I wonder if you have enabled RCS messaging the new Google style messaging? Because maybe it uses WiFi to download some of the SMS, and if your carrier doesn't support it maybe you only receive it when you are on WiFi.
Try on WiFi then try just on mobile data and see if you notice.
I attached a photo check the top setting. Google might be persisting your setting (if you are using Google messages)
Also why don't you and your wife try a simnswap next time you happen and you are both at home, if your wife doesn't receive it then it's sim/network related.

I'm using Google Messages, and yes i do have RCS enabled. I dont believe thats the case though because the messages that are blocked are sometimes just an "ok" message. I'm almost always on WiFi though too.
The primary issue with sim swapping with my wife is that we would need to swap sims for up to 2 weeks since sometimes I have no issues for 2 weeks, then i get the issue once or twice a day for three days. The worst part (for me anyway) is that her screen is SHATTERED on her phone (she's using a Note10+) and its hard to see anything, so i've been trying to get her to get a new phone. I think we might be FINALLY upgrading her (after 5 months) to an S21 Ultra, so maybe we'll give that a shot there.
I'm actually wondering if it has something to do with messages for web. I've noticed that the issue only really happens after using that, but.. It doesnt always happen after using messages for web, so it might just be a coincidence.
I'm pretty sure its not Google Messages, or RCS, and fairly certain its not messages for web, because i used to use Signal only, and i still had the issue a few times.

When you say "ok" are you just sending short messages or the suggested replies by Google?
I had problems with auto reply in notifications for a while.
Tbh I just use telegram or signal becuase they don't require being connected to the device directly when using the web/desktop versions.
Yeah swapping for 2 weeks isn't great!
Interesting you had this issue with signal too, sounds like Google cloud messaging (needed for any app push notifications and messaging) is in a standby mode.
You got naptime or servicely installed? Shame no one else is seeing this issue might be easier to diagnose
