Hi all, I had a GS4 before I got the G2, before going to sleep I used to turn on the blocking mode & I had set it up so that the phone would still ring if someone called me but there would be no notifications & the notification light would be disabled. The quite mode on the G2 in comparison when activated disables all ringtones & notifications (basically putting the phone in silent mode with a whitelist for phones numbers) & I will have to manually allow a list of phone numbers which can still ring through. This does not work for me because I receive important calls from various different numbers & i just want the notification blocking.
Can someone please advise me how to accomplish this.
Thanks
Not sure yet but I think if you uncheck the "block incoming calls" option it disables the whitelist and allows all calls to come through. If so, the whitelist is a nice additional feature for those who want to micro manage things further while not a requirement.

Thanks a lot for your reply but unchecking "block incoming calls" does not allow any calls to come through which is kind of strange!!

Yep I am seeing the same thing as you. Kind of makes me wonder why that checkbox even exists then. Possibly a coding error? There really should be a way to allow all calls. There's an option to select all contacts but I see where you are coming from...an important call could still come from a number not currently listed in contacts.
Also, I'm not seeing an option to disable the persistent quiet mode notification in the notification bar. I don't particularly want to be advised that its going into quiet mode tonight at 11am this morning.

I have noticed since the past week(mayb), [email protected] while I am on the phone, I can no longer recieve incoming calls, they go straight to voicemail, does anyone have any idea whats causing this?
Have you changed your call waiting settings?
Check it:
Go to Settings
Call Settings
Additional Settings
Call Waiting
Make sure that IS checked so that you do get notified of incoming call.s

first off try speaking in words not stupid garbled crap.
second, are you up tp date on your bill? i was a day late paying my bill and they turned off outgoing service, maybe they turned off your incoming.
also if you had done a quick look through the forums you would have seen a thread created a day or two ago talking about something very similar(calls only ringing twice before voicemail).
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.

Ah... ok, that makes sense. So I was right to check that box then.
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.

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.
Is anyone else on AT&T's prepaid (GoPhone) getting a message "Conditional Call Forwarding Active" every single time a call is dialed out? I don't get the message for incoming calls. I researched and found some people experienced the same issue on other devices as they had not set their voicemail. I have my voicemail set up and all settings (as far as I can tell) are for AT&T's network. I got the message on stock GB and now I get the same message ICS LPY ROM. What's causing that message and how can I fix it?
Am I the only one experiencing this?

Nope your not the only one have the same message... although I think its carrier dependent as I get it on all my phones
Don't worry about the message, it's just highlighting that you have set your voicemail with certain conditions i.e. when busy, unavailable etc
If you cancel your voicemail settings, you should find that the message disappears.

I am not worried but it just seems it can be fixed, and I don't know how. I tried disabling the conditions but it doesn't allow me to make any changes. If anyone has any other ideas about fixing this issue, please share them.

Goto settings, Call, Call forwarding, Voice call and check to see if all options are showing disabled, if not, you will get that message.

As I said, I can't disable them - it doesn't allow me to and is restricted by the carrier.
Also, I read somewhere that disabling those settings will not forward your calls to your voicemail.

Did not know that carriers have restricted it on some networks, I'm in the UK on t mobile and can disable any of those options.
Disabling the settings will definitely stop the messaging as well as forwarding calls to your voicemail. The whole point of the message is to let you know that you have active diverts i.e. voicemail setup. Have not seen any option anywhere where you can disable the message.
thanks a lot, i have the same problem it now solved , i follow your advice setting-->call setting-->call forwarding-->the last option was enable i make it disable (Forward when unreach)
Hey folks,
I've got a question regarding a ROM I can't find the answer to anywhere searching.
It's quite simple really -
In CM12.1 - 13 under Privacy i can set my phone to block calls and messages from numbers not in my phone book. TW ROMs can block calls and messages but only from registered numbers or "Unknown" callers meaning that the number had to have been withheld by who was calling.
I get a lot of marketing calls and as a result the features to block all calls and messages from numbers not in my phone book is hugely valuable to me however I prefer TW ROMs mainly because of the camera which is use a lot. I'm currently on AOKP 6.0.1.
Anyone got any recommendations or ideas? Is there something I can do to a TW rom to add this functionality?
Can't see any way to do that in stock TW, but as a workaround, you could set "Do not disturb" to be permanently enabled, and set "All contacts" to be priority so they can always get through, meaning all other calls/texts will be permanently muted, not blocked, but...

You might find a 3rd party dialer app in the play store you can replace the stock one with that has that option
Hi
I don't have tmobile network at my work location
So before I enter into office I enable call forwarding to my Google voice number so that my calls will get forwarded and I can receive calls from Hangouts app.
Unfortunately I'm not getting any calls on Hangouts..
This used to work fine on my old Galaxy Note II.
I wish they implement wifi calling soon..
Any suggestions. Please help me
This works fine for me. I find that the settings on Google's voice site are confusing. Did you change anything there?
Also, you need to call forward your calls in the initial setup. Was this done?
EDIT: Oh, I see you want to take calls in Hangouts... That I do not do. I just get my VM handled by Google.
Check your power management settings. It sounds like the overly aggressive PM is not allowing notifications from google services and/or hangouts. Might be suspending those services/apps too.
I haven't had time to delve deep into this to figure out, but there's a few threads about similar issues where the cause was the power management. Certain apps/services will have to be white listed.
