so i just noticed this today (i have the leaked ROM installed) that when i am using the web or checking my email if someone calls they go straight to my voice mail -- i haven't had the phone long enough to know if this is how it is supposed to be or not. Is there a way to get to cancel the data connection and show me someone is calling?

no, not really, at least not for those of us who use push email, since it maintains a constant data connection to the exchange server

well i read through that and tried what they mentioned but i couldn't get it to drop the data when a call came in.
btw, i'm on Sprint, and no EVDO where i am at so only 1x.
but as i mention in the thread
"i believe that all issues with cellphone internet blocking or being disabled when one recieve a call is purely an issue
with old and poor quality equipment of the cellphone operator in the area"
many old gsm and aparently american cellphone networks too
suffer from not being able to handle both network and calls at the same time
it's an issue in the operator end not the phones
yeah after three emails with sprint (i think most of their CS people are brain dead) they finally told me that it is how it works, no way around it.
one told me that calls go to voice mail when you don't have enough signal -- totally irrelevent to this issue
one told me it was a technical problem with my phone and said i should bring it to a sprint store to get a tech to look at it
and finally after *****ed at them sayint that people (that i assume) don't work for sprint know more about this (thanks Rudegar for your responces) then they do, they finally just came out and said that, yeah this is how it is and there isn't anyway around it.
it seems that this is a better place to get answers then emailing sprint --- although i should have realized that from the beginning, i won't make that mistake again.
well i guess your question has been answered, but figure id add my 2 cents...
it works like this only in EV-DO areas not on 1x....
my ring through works perfectly fine when a call or text comes in, it discconects allows me to do what i want, then it automatically reconnects back to data..
Hi all,
I've recently been lucky enough to get an invite to Google Voice, and as such, I'd like to use it as my primary voicemail. I know how to change the Speed Dial setting so I can dial 1 and get to my GV messages, but I'd like to set up call forwarding or something similar so that anyone who calls my 'old' (original) phone number is sent to the GV number when I don't answer.
Please see this article to see what I'm talking about:
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/...ice-to-add-visual-voicemail-to-your-g1-dream/
I know that WM6 doesn't have an app for GV just yet, and I'm content to receive text messages for now. Is it possible to modify my voicemail functionality in this way? For reference, I'm using Sprint on a Vogue (with VetVito's ROM, but that shouldn't matter here).
Thanks!
Nevermind... on Sprint, this is done through setting up "Forward when busy" and "Forward when no answer" with customer service, and it carries a per-minute fee for each use. No way I'm shelling out 20 cents per minute for voicemail. Oh well...
If you are persistent enough and get to the right tech level, they will do it for you in the system. I basically had a lot of trouble doing the *7XXX thing (can't remember the code anymore) and finally got to a tech who told me that when your calls go to sprints voicemail, it is basically a call forward to a different number, just handled internally. So he changed the number in the internal system to my voicemail service (phone fusion, I'm on the android OS) and viola, call forwarding for busy and no answer calls with no charge!
It will probably take a few calls and some time, but it is possible. I would also suggest searching for and signing an online petition to sprint to discontinue this charge. Apparently they are the only US carriers who charge for this. with google voice coming, it's just not a good thing.
I'm on Verizon and I just have to dial *72+the number I want calls forwarded to and they just go to that number. The only issue is that it causes me to lose the free mobile 2 mobile calls because I get connected to my Google Voice account.
I called five times. Each time the answer was the same (in varying degrees of smarmyness and friendliness): We used to change the voicemail number for people, and we can still do it, but aren't allowed to.
No ifs, ands, or buts.
Every one of them tried to sell me on call forwarding at 20 cents per minute. Each time I explained that if I got only one message per day, at a minute or less, that'd be an extra six bucks on my bill. Personally, it'd be much higher.
So, much as I love my Vogue, the combination of their 'anti-Android' policy and intentional incompatibility with third-party voicemail systems means that I'll be looking for a new provider when my contract is up. Maybe I'll port my number to a shiny new myTouch 3G.
Anyone had any issues with google voice? I have had phone calls not come through every so often, and contacts not blocked end up in the spam folder. Only fix I found was to deactivate my Sprint number and re-activate it 15 mins later on Google Voice. Friend has a Nexus S 4G and can not contact her unless I have google voice activated and even then it will go back and some contacts. If anyone has issue like this let me know.
i never really had an issue with google voice, but whenever i did have some sort of issue the first thing sprint reps would ask is "are integrated with google voice?" seems like they want to blame that first for any tech problems.
i got a new ns4g yesterday and decided ditch googlevoice, the novelty has worn of for me
Canadians' reply to American question
G'day,
You asked about Gvoice problems.
Not sure if your situation can be considered contextually similar to mine as I am doing a bit of trickery to be able to use the voicemail section from Canada.
The relevant problem for me is similar to your spam thing. Very rarely, and randomly to boot, voicemail left for me will vanish ... I only know it was left for me because the leavers informed me. No hint whatsoever that it ever happened.
Aside from that its been good to have a voicemail that can SMS me, transcribe to text and just overall be what I thought my OVERPRICED carriers voicemail should be. Already pay far too much for cellular anything in my opinion.

Please let us know how you managed to get it working in canada
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I'm not sure how he does it but I have my Nexus on Boost and supposedly you can't use Google Voice mail on a prepaid service but mine works. All I did was go through the setup on the google voice app and set it to be my voice mail...I didn't set up anything through the online settings from my computer. But the funny thing is if I reject a call myself it will send it to my Boost voicemail....if I let it just ring out, it will go to Google Voice mail. Don't know if that helps in your case but it works for me.

Well ... Joke was on me !!
At first I thought I had discovered the Holy Grail ... (fool ... I am I am) I erroneously thought that I could beat the system by forwarding unanswered / phone off type calls to Google Voice, then use "Google Voice Callback FREE" app to "intercept" the "outgoing" forwarded call.
Damn ... worked really well in my coupla tests with friends etc but I quickly realized, once my online call log was posted (roughly 3 hour wait plus or minus) I was essentially just calling Google Voice using INTERNATIONAL LONG DISTANCE ... not good, I was prepared to eat the coupla minutes there, so not ready to fall on sword or anything just yet LOL
( Must have been on some heavy drugs 'cause I never stopped to realize that the forwarding is out of my hands and done at the carriers end FIDO.ca in my case)
Unless there is a way to do forwarding LOCAL to the phone or maybe have it answer THEN redirect the call using tasker or some other programmatic method I think I'm stumped ... of course I'm stumped just like the rest of us Canucks. LOL
I have a long distance plan that gives me free minutes to the US that I never use ... tried setting my voicemail # in Android to dial it ... then pause (tried comma and semicolon) then dial my Gvoice number ... No go there ...
Aaaaaargh ... lotta wasted time really without thinking it thru b4 hand AND here I was thinking that I had figured it out, so I posted that yesterday.
So out of all this blah blah blah Coupla questions
1. Is the forwarding TRULY out of my hands and done at the carriers end?
2. is there SOME way I can redirect incoming unanswered calls locally on my phone so that "Google Voice Callback FREE" app can intercept it?
Sorry to get any hopes up with my "genius" non-discovery

budphone.ca cheesy interface with ads BUT voicemail & Canadian Long Distance free
Me again,
For those too cheap ...like myself, to pay even more for voicemail. I got this in a tweet a while back and ignored it thinking I could get the Gvoice thing going "somehow".
budphone(dot)ca
Labatts breweries wants our "consumerist" attention so thru freephoneline.ca they are offering this ... get a phone number and long distance calling to many cities in Canada + voicemail + forwarding to normal phones + coupla other things ... go see if you're interested. I dont work for BUD or Labatts BTW. I just like the free voicemail ...1 day only so far.
I signed up and it is OK for me for now. I really only wanted the voice mail. It does give me an alternate phone number too ... without affecting my current FIDO cell plan.
I already have long distance at $.25 per call in North America no matter how long the call is ... (dial a number ... pause ... dial target number. Works on cellphone homephone etc.
I haven't left it off the hook for days or anything to see if the "no matter how long the call is" thing is true, but hours on end is no problem.
This was called talk 25 with win-tel who now seems to primus.ca and it seems they've abolished that SUPER deal except for grandfathering AFAIK You can look there too to see if they offer any killer deals.
Whew ... lotta babbling there ... but might spark some Ideas perhaps?

Google Voice is available in Canada at the 403 (Calgary, AB) area code. Google will let you set it up if you sign up over a vpn. Buy yourself a cheap DID.
I have been a Verizon Customer for longer that it has been Verizon.
Service in my area has been great... up until the last year or so. Basically since they put 4G here. I no longer have service in my office, or several other places that I frequent. I travel alot and most always have verizon service where I go.
So here is the dilema... I don't want to lose my phone number! I was thinking about porting my number to another service, cause I do not want to lose my number... I have had it forever. But at the same time I do not want to lose my verizon line until I know that the other service is ok for me. primarily the unlimited data.
Anyone have any ideas?

This is a issue a growing number people are encountering now a days. I would suggest that you take look into T-Mobile network Test Drive offer an see if they are for you.I know that in my area T-Mobile is terrible so I'm with Verizon till I get kicked off Unlimited then it looks like it's Sprint time. The porting of the number won't be too much of a issue as most company's do that now. I don't know what happened when they flipped the 4G switch but their towers weren't ready.

This one's easy. Port your phone number to Google Voice. Then get a new number from Verizon for your existing phone. Install the Google Voice app on your phone and all of the incoming and outgoing calls will be via Google Voice using the number your ported there.
I've had Google Voice as my primary number for years and I'm completely independent of any carrier or single phone. In fact, when someone calls my phone number it rings on my cell phone, my home phone, my office phone, my tablet and my PC. My wife giggles every time I get a call because it sounds like I'm in a clock store with all the alarms going off at once.
If you get a new phone from another carrier just install Google Voice on it and both your old cell phone and new phone will ring at once. You will be completely independent of a carrier. I am so independent of the carrier that I have no idea what phone number is on my current cell phone. I'd have to look in the settings to see what it is.
Two caveats:
1) You will need to use Google Voice for text messaging. If you use any other text messaging app it will show that the message came from the cell phone's number and not Google Voice's number.
2) Google Voice messaging doesn't handle MMS texts. You can't send/receive photos or videos.
One huge advantage:
You can send/receive texts on your PC by going to Voice.Google.com and logging in. In fact, your entire text messaging history is stored in the cloud. Get a text and it shows up on your phone, on your tablet and in your browser. Immediately. When I'm on my computer and I hear my phone chime that a text has arrived, I never take my phone out, I just look at the text in my browser. It's so much more convenient than any other messaging app that I would never change.
Yeah... I already use google voice quite a bit with a different number.
Here is the problem, if I port my number out of Verizon, their system automatically closes the line when the port is complete. It is no problem getting it turned back on, but then I lose the unlimited data.
That is where my problem lies.

I received my ChatSim Plus 3-in-1 SIM card direct from Italy late last week. They strongly suggest turning off data access to any app except those that send text. I kept on access to WhatsApp, Skype, Google Hangouts. They say it also works with iMessage, and it does to a degree. If you use iMessage in conjunction with e-mail addresses, you're fine. If you used iMessage with a carrier-assigned phone number, that does not work.
When you insert your ChatSim in an iPhone, iMessage will want to link the ChatSim carrier-assigned number to iMessage. This process fails. The number ChatSim gives you is in Estonia. That shouldn't impede full iMessage functionality, but there's that one glitch.
ChatSim says they will block your SIM if you use it for "abnormal" no texting traffic. Trying to figure out where the boundary is, and given my purchase of the SIM came with €5 (five euros) credit, I decided to run a Speedtest. I'm in the United States. On the "automatic" setting, ChatSim immediately connected to T-Mobile 3G. The Speedtest on T-Mobile came back 390ms ping, 2.87Mbps down, 1.58Mbps up. I switched off "automatic" and forced the SIM onto AT&T. The Speedtest no longer had access to data. I was only able to receive the SMS from the good ChatSim folks telling me I'd been consuming "abnormal" data and I'd been blocked.
When you're blocked you can still send and receive SMS (but not MMS), except if you're on iPhone. In order to unblock/restore data, you have to add €10 to your Private Area. So I did. This was Thursday.
I used ChatSIM exclusively, with extremely limited access to data for apps. I was able to start a Skype audio call, send and receive text and calls in Google Hangouts. Everything was good. I also left on access to some apps that use A-GPS for location services. From Thursday through Monday, everything was good. Today, Tuesday as I'm out and about, I get an SMS from ChatSim warning me of "abnormal" usage. Moments later a second SMS arrived informing me I'd been blocked. Between Thursday evening and Tuesday early afternoon, my data manager app says I used 39MB. Cost of the SIM and shipping aside, $10.50 for 39MB is not a good deal in my opinion.

Yeah it all depends in which zone you are. For zone 1 a 10 Euro ($10.5) gives you 2000 credits, which equates to 40Mb. That's not a lot at all if you're a heavy data user. Luckily I only use Whatsapp when I'm out and about, so I think Chatsim is ideal for me.
The other "catch" with their data packages is that you shouldn't use more than 60% of the data allowance in a single Zone.
The real downside to Chatsim, in order for it to be a feasible solution to using Whatsapp at home and abroad, is that you should have a Dual sim phone. I've got the G3 dual sim, so it's working well so far
In order to cover all areas you need to buy 2 products (Chatsim & Chatsim Plus).
Was mislead by Whatsim pre-order statements on 1 Sim card for all areas..

Just got my ChatSim Plus today. Immediately threw it into an unlocked iPhone 5. The SMS feature won't send, but I can receive. Grabbed WhatsApp, FB Messenger, KIK, Twitter, and Google Hangouts from the App Store just to give them all a shot. WhatsApp and Hangouts seem to work the best.
I did notice that after few minutes the network would drop. I seemed to have to throw the device into airplane mode and back out to get back to normal operations.
YouTube review
Found this review, seems to have pros and cons to it. More cons if you aren't careful with it (you must disable background app data) as you can easily burn through the data cap with Twitter.
Terrible service, chatsim a scam
I purchased my Chatsim Plus in March this year and till June I have yet to receive the card. I emailed the staff and on many occasions they said they would reply within 48 hours but they don't -- which was fine by me. But the thing is, they always avoided giving me a straight answer and kept telling me to wait... I mean, how long does it take for a card to be sent out? Early July I couldn't wait any further because it was simply taking too long. By then I have sent out countless of emails which no one ever replies and when they eventually did they told me that the card was sent back to them as I did not provide my full address. I checked against the soft copy receipt and told them that the address was correct yet they found ways to blame me (literally!) for the failed delivery. At that point I was exasperated and just wanted my money back. Initially I paid €20 for the card and delivery however 2 months later when I checked my bank statement only €10 was refunded. When I asked the staff why I wasn't given a full refund ONCE AGAIN they told me it was their law and that the mailing company operates independently and the fees goes to the mailing company yada and I quote their response "You haven't provided us with the complete address either, because the mailing services weren't able to find your address"... I mean what is this utter nonsense? I cannot emphasis how indignant I am about this because I gave the address as stated in my PASSPORT and how on earth is that INCOMPLETE? I can only say please use Chatsim at your own risk, because after reading some of the reviews online I found out that I am not the only victim that has fallen to their antics! The staff is rude, incompetent and unprofessional! Nasty experience!
No you're not the only one... it happened to me too!!!:crying:
Very disappointing product. I think it is a scam.
The Chatsim works only intermittently. Response for help is super slow. By the time they reply, I was back to home.
In one month usage, got 2 emails saying I am using too much. And suddenly one day, the card was stopped and ask me to pay again.
Don't waste your money.
Hi, I bought chatsim couple of weeks ago and is successfully activated. Today I was in overseas and wanted to use it, but I couldn't do it.
I was looking on the internet and found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zG8KKaH9B8 in the minute 6:06 they talk about add another user (WITH YOUR CHATSIM PHONE NUMBER) in order to use chatsim. Here is my question:
I have a dualsim phone (Letv X800) and have on mu dutch number whatsapp running. In order to use chatsim (phone number +44number) I need to create/activate it within whatsapp, right? Do you have any idea how to do it without using the method mentioned on the video?
Thanx
For me, chatsim seems like a scam. For one, most of the time it hasn't work... I would receive mms randomly when the network decided to get picked up. Sure enough, I received a sms not too long after telling me that I have exceeded usage. And I was blocked. When I confronted customer service, they said I probably didn't turn off background updates... Which is untrue since I was running in low battery mode at all times (which stops all background activities in an iPhone). Long story short, my travelling hasn't been affected with or without chat sim. Not gonna fool me twice in putting more money into it.
I just started with Chatsim Unlimited on a Nexus 5X. I think I have it setup correctly and I've successfully tested the service using Facebook Messenger. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work with Google Hangouts though - very disappointing considering that is the primary messaging app that I use.
Another aspect of the service that I'm very disappointed with is the English language verbiage. It's very confusing as if all of the instructional text came out of a translator app.
I just got my chatsim (unlimited) and have followed all instructions found in the website. My problem is that I can see the carrier operator ("Smart" for Philippines) as well as the "3g" indicating my Cellular data but I still cannot connect to any of the messaging applications offered by chatsim. Anyone having this problem or anyone know how to resolve this problem? I have been contacting chatsim but no response was made by them. Any help would be gladly appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you for your reply! Yes, I have seen this video already and have followed the instructions for the APN settings. I placed "chatsim" on APN and it still won't connect to any messaging app. Thanks!
Does it have any affect if I wasn't able to "Update Carrier Settings"? Yes, I clicked the "Not now" option instead of the "Update Carrier Settings".
