Anyone's phone not ringing?

Hey guy, I have the N4 for tmobile and I have had problems with people calling and not getting though it just sends them straight to voice mail and not pop up to notify me and not ring but when I call out the voicemail pop's up. Anyone having this problem?

Yeah, I think it happens mostly when I leave it alone for a bit.

Bump. Anyone else have this problem? Sometimes I don't get texts and calls go straight to voicemail, I have to restart my phone and that fixes it for a while. It happens randomly. Haven't figured out a pattern yet.

I have had this happen a couple times on both of my Nexus 4 devices.

I have had this happen in the morning. Not sure if it is carrier dependent. I am with Wind.

Yeah happend to me twice !

Same here, T-Mobile in Florida

I'm on T-Mo in VA and the latest CM10.1 nightly and it seems like my phone almost never rings. I am constantly getting "Missed call" notifications. And despite having Google Voice installed, the only messages I get are from the T-Mo VM. Weird....

This has been happening to my wifes Nexus 4 but not mine. It usually only happens in the mornings when the phone has been sitting for a while, after she restarts it, it seems to work fine. Does anyone know a fix for this???

This was happening to me a lot at first, I went to tmobile and got a new mini sim card b/c i cut my old one down and know it seems fine b/c im not waking up to voice mails and no miss calls.

Duplicate Text Messages

Hi all,
I just got a Nexus 4 and am using a prepaid T-Mobile Sim with the 100 minutes unlimited data/messaging plan. Everything is working great except I am receiving duplicate text messages most of the time someone messages me. I was wondering if there is an APN setting or something else I can do to try and fix this annoyance. Was wondering if anyone else was having this issue.
Thanks.

My friend had this same issue.
The way we fixed it was power off the phone, take out the sim, power back up, leave the phone for 5 min, and then power back off.
Popped the sim back in and it was fixed.
When I see them next I'll ask to check their APN to make sure.
Hope this works for you.

Is it from people who are on various networks? Sounds like it could be a problem on their end. Every once in a while I'll get duplicate texts from people on MetroPCS, or Sprint if their networks are on the fritz. So try to have people from different networks text you and see if you still have the problem,

Same problem with T-Mobile germany... Senders are in different networks. I am receiving single messages up to 8 times. This happened on the i9250 nexus before, too. Same number, different sim card, different phone. Maybe related to cyanogenmod 10.0/10.1, as i never experienced that issue in stock. (To be honest, i was never long in stock Rom). The Problem occurs most times Ehen the phone is rebooted, or comes out of flight mode.
Which roms are you using ?

Just stock everything at the moment.

In general it's usually because of the sending party. Did you port your number also as that does cause it most of the time?

Nope, i just got a new sim card from my provider. I am a t-mobile customer for 14 years now, and never ported that number to another carrier.

Not sure if you have noticed this, but it seems to happen when I briefly lose service. When I get signal back I have noticed that is when I am getting the duplicates. I've only been on T-Mobile for a few days after I ported my number from Verizon.

AW: Duplicate Text Messages
I made a support ticket @t-mobile germany. They told me, that this must be a bigger problem related to the network itself. The next time it happens they want me to call them and provide time of failure and number of sender to them.
But, it didn't happen again, yet.

How do you fix it? I ported my number from verizon but it just recently started happening (maybe the last few weeks),. Using PA, most updated version.

[Q] text messages over wifi on tmobile

I was wondering if you can send a receive text messages over wifi those that are meant for your phone number. I know i could use like aim or something. I ask because when i'm at home my service is very spotty if not even there most of the time and like to get my normal text msgs on a timely manner so is this possible on the nexus 4 thanks

I don't think so. Maybe over time hangouts will fix that.

Google Voice app uses data for SMS messages, just no MMS support.

Makes me kind of wish TMobile wifi Calling was available on the Nexus4 (had it on my G2/Desire-Z). And SMS/MMS did go over wifi when it was in use.

You can receive SMS from an email.
phone#@tmomail.net it is a workaround but not very intuitive.

N7 LTE and calling. Yes😀

So I remember T-Mobile rolled out WiFi calling. I downloaded Google hangouts dialer and tried the calling feature.
First I connected through WiFi and ran the app and made a call to a ATT cell phone. And it worked. So then I turned off WiFi and turned on mobile data. Made another call to same ATT cell phone and boom! N7 T-Mobile walking talking phone.
I'm stock rooted, google hangouts dialer. I don't know if this works on ATT or Verizon because I stunt have a Sim. My call went over 'H'. I have no LTE connection in my room.
Anyone else want to confirm. But sweet

It should work regardless of carrier as long as you have access to the Internet.

I thought it wasn't supposed to, because Google locked it down. You couldn't do this before. I don't believe this worked until volte started to roll out. And with Google integrating this into hangouts

It started working when the dialer came out. Doesn't have anything to do with the rollout of volte on some carriers.

The dialer included with hangouts is just a way to connect to gvoice with voip, which has been possible for years with 3rd party clients such as Grooveip
All it does is simplify the process of setting up, the concept is the same.
Literally any device that can connect to the internet can do hangout calls in the same manner, as there's no carriers involved at all. As far as they're concerned it's merely data.
What they did do was disable the method some clients, such as grooveip, used to connect to gvoice.
But there are multiple methods, existing solutions such as obitalk can still connect to gvoice via voip.

Does anyone know if I could send sms on the wifi model

HD Calling?

Is there an option anywhere in the phone for this? The Sprint FAQ, circa 2014, says that you can only HD call to other Sprint customers. Does it work like Verizon where you have to be on LTE? Do I have to add a service/enable it?
Just got the Galaxy S7 Edge with Sprint, switched to their 50% off from Verizon and had them buy me out of my S6 Edge. Quite pleased so far.

I never heard of or used HD calling before but I called my S6 (sprint) a couple of days ago, it showed in the call log that it was an HD call and it only shows that symbol when I call people with Sprint. I think its enabled by default.

It enables automatically if the other sprint customer has an HD enabled phone. Note 3 and up I believe have it. It will say in the call log if it's hd or not. U can hear a clear difference in quality over standard.

Thanks. Yeah when I used it on Verizon it was much more clear, you can definitely tell when it's on. The reason I asked was Verizon S6 had options to turn it on and worked with any carrier with a supporting phone. Oh well, not a big deal.

I have an S7E i just got and I can't seem to get HD to work at all? can anyone with same phone confirm it's working still after that last big update a few weeks back?
Is it tied to an app?
My old rooted S5 that had a different firmware even worked fine in HD but not this.
I did uninstall and disable a few things on this.
I'm calling people whom I know have working HD because they see in call log when they call others with it but not with me and I don't see on my phone either.
Just wondering if some hidden setting or something isn't right or if any way to test?

If you enable WiFi calling it will break HD calling. The only way to get it back is a factory reset
Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

I think the latest update fixes that. I see mine now attempting HD before a call.
