I've never had ringback tones (till now). Just did the dcd 3.2.3 rom-n-radio and everything, and now I have classical music as a ringback tone. Verizon says I shouldn't have it, and told me to go to my "get it now" and see if I can change it. "Get it now" doesn't exist on my phone after the rom update?!? Please help quick, classical music is crushing the souls of my friends and family!
Just get any file you'd like and tap and old on it and put "set as ringtone." You can also place them in file explorer>my documents>my ringtones and go to start>settings>phones and select them from there.
i believe he is talking about the sound that people calling him hear. if i am right, i am very confused as well since i have never heard of that happening. I wish it would have happened to me with rock music. lol However, country is another thing Have you tried reflashing the rom or going to DCD 3.2.5? Maybe that will work as it was something you installed. I hope you can figure that out since it would be very frustrating

yes, it is RINGBACK tones, not ringtones, and i cant figure it out. Verizon's solution (to go to "get it now" and fix it there) isn't possible because after the flash "get it now" is gone!

It is very strange because this phone never had get it now. That is not an option on any Windows Based phone from Verizon. I really have no idea how you got a ringback tone on your phone.

I've never known a device that lets you control ringback tones right on the device. Typically, that feature is controlled via your VZW online account
log into your VZW account. Look for the section called "Ringback Tones" You can then manage the settings in that screen.
Alternatively, just call CS and ask them to remove it from your account.
You'll want to check with CS anyway - I removed that feature from my online account over a year ago and just found out that it was still activated. Guy at Wireless Store where I upgraded to the 6800 de-activated it for me.
like i said, your best bet would probably be flashing the same rom/kitchen again, hard reset your phone, or flash DCD's new 3.2.5 rom. Or anyother rom. i never has that problem when i used 3.2.3 so it is probably something you added. Good Luck

that's the strange thing, CS claims it isn't showing on my account, so I don't know what happened, I certainly didn't add it, nor as another poster suggested, got it through some other thing I did, as after the rom/radio/carrier cab installation is simple programs like icalc and gpsgate etc... I'll check my online account, thanks!
ringback tones = music without asking! finally removed
So I finally got to the bottom of my new (horrible) ringback tones that I never requested nor approved...
I started getting a ringback tone (classical musak) after my first radio/rom flash (DCD 3.2.3). Verizon said I didn't have ringback tones, and my online account said the same. Last night the tech support tried blocking the ringback tones feature, that still didn't work! Finally, adding and removing ringback tones (after unblocking the feature) made it go away.... Wierd I know, but if anyone has the same problem, that's how you solve it!
FYI ringback tones aren't on the phone they are on the "system" (albeit through a third party provider) so nothing you do to the phone can affect them (to my knowledge).

hey guys.
something weird happend on my athena. all of a sudden, the messaging service stopped working. "messaging" wont open. even the sms feature of spbdiary wont load. i cant receive sms. i simply cant send/receive sms. even if i use different applications for sending sms. i dont do rom upgrades. and i havent installed/configured anything today.
anybody knows what i should do first? im hoping there might be a workaround other than a hardreset. i already did softresets a couple of times.

Try flashing Mitchy's rom.
the thing is, after reading all through the horror stories here at the forum, concerning flashing roms, im still hesitant to do it myself.
unless maybe you can guide me through all the way tootalk?
i have x7501 bought from the states. also, in a few words, what are the best things that mitchys rom have?
im surprised nobody else had experienced this problem before.
ciao!
if you installed any of those "lost and found" tools, then that's most likely the problem
since i had exactly your problem, until i removed those programs.
those programs might be good,
but unfortunately, it takes your SMS hostage, and wont release it.
making your SMS useless.
so i opted to have SMS, and well too bad if the phone gets lost, then it's lost.
yay! time to buy a new one the perfect excuse
hey allgamer,
what do you mean by "lost and found" tool? you mean like those security apps that sends messages to the owner just in case the phone got stolen? i have two of those installed, but i installed them a couple of months ago, and i never had any problems concerning them.
i'm now researching on how to flash my rom with mitchy.

Sorry for the delay dude. Shoot me a PM with your yahoo or AIM/AOL id and I can walk you through the steps to flashing with his ROM. To be honest, it's way faster and better than any factory ROM. I'm at the point now where If I don't even want to touch any PDA's with factory ROM's anymore lol.... I suggest you read up on how to CID unlock the phone first before you anything else.
messaging comes back if i remove memorycard
the messaging service works whenever i remove the memorycard, so i'm beginning to think that there might be an app that's messing around with the system.
another problem though, after i put back the memory card, the system created a "memory card" folder on the root file system. and the real memorycard now is called "memorycard2". the inbox folder has been created inside "memory card" folder.
anyway, i'm trying to muster up my courage and am going to accept tootalk's generous offer of helping me up with my very first rom flashing.
UPDATED:
i renamed the folder "memory card" which the system created, to "memory card err" and then rebooted. the messaging service is now back to normal.
but i'll still check out on the flashing.
ciao!

Yeah that's a good idea.
Also I had similar problems with my VM...Honestly I hate checking my VMs because of the tedious procedure that T-Mobile Voicemail hotline forces you to do. Before my Vibrant went Vibroke I switched to Google Voice. It's badass. In most cases it transcribes your Voicemails to text and let's you listen/delete all of your messages without being forced to listening to a stupid robot lady. Definitely worth trying out.
Thanks I tried calling myself several times left a vm then deleted them and still didn't work. I checked all settings in menu/settings/call hoping to find a clear option and nada, nothing, even looked through Root Explorer but didn't know what half the things were I was looking at.
Maybe I can have T-Mob reset msgs, not sure.
Joy Visial Voicemail is great for checking your VM, don't need toi call in at all
Yes, if all that you tried before didn't work you should call up TMO
Visual Voicemail doesn't work for me because I have an older unlimited plan that was grandfatherered into my current contract. I had it before though, and I still prefer Voice over that.
I love this community, I had the same issue and one search of xda and problem solved.
Thanks guys

yeah, this just worked for me. 'preciate it!
I just recently installed "Extreme Call Blocker" on my Android Eris from Verizon.
I get the calls to go directly to VM and it deletes the call from the call history page, however the phone wont seem to hide the "missed call" notification from the top drop down menu.
I have made sure that inside the application and on the phone that the "missed calls" box is UNCHECKED... meaning IT SHOULD NOT SHOW.
But it does and here lies the problem. Powercycled the phone hoping that it just needed a chance to boot up with the phone. Yet nothing different happens.
If you use or if you can check in to the problem for me that would be greatly appreciated.
I may also like to onclude that I downloaded the apk file from 4shared, would this have anything to do with it? Maybe a corrupt file? Or it is something that deals with Verizon?
FOCUSED ON:
Blocking Calls: DONE
Blocking SMS: DONE
Deleting missed calls from logONE"
Hiding "Missed Call" notification: NO RESULTS ATM
A quick HELPFUL response would be awesome. Although I know how exceptional this forum can be at saying "use the search tool"
I'm not familiar with Extreme Call Blocker myself but I know that starting with either froyo or gingerbread, 3rd party apps no longer have access to the method for clearing the missed call notification. That's one of the main drawbacks with using one of the dialer/contact replacement apps as well. Someone might know of a workaround but I unfortunately do not.

I used to use a HTC One Max. About one month ago, I started getting no sound when a text was sent to me, at least 90% of the time. I tried multiple things to fix it.
1. Tried 4 different SMS apps, with only one being installed at any one time. This is including the built in system one.
2. Checked all sound and notification settings, both in the SMS apps, and in the Android settings.
3. Did a complete factory wipe of the phone.
On Sunday, I got a brand new LG V10. The problem continues. . WTH!!?? My V10 was setup manually, no restore from a backup, and has not been hacked, rooted, etc. Is it possible the problem is with Verizon? I know there are a lot of knowledgeable people on this forum, so I thought I would ask here! Any and all help would be appreciated!! :good:
PS: When this happens, the phone will also not vibrate
Wow! I must be the only person in the world that has this problem!
My phone updated to Marshmallow last week, and this problem continues. Does anybody have any ideas? I find it difficult to believe nobody else has had this same problem here . I did a Google search and I find others with the same problem, but most of them were caused by a setting on their phones. Verizon, at least one of their reps in the store where I bought my phone, also did not have an answer. Anybody??
I think people are not sure what your issue is.
Essentially you are not getting notification sounds when a new text arrives?

Have you checked the volume settings???
Thanks everybody! The problem is when I get a text message, most of time my phone makes no noise and will not vibrate. I have checked every setting possible. On my HTC, I was using Mood SMS and it worked great up until the last month I had it. On that phone, even after removing all SMS apps I installed from the Playstore and using the stock app. the problem continued. I will say that when I first went back to the stock messaging app, the problem initially went away, but returned the next day. On my V10, I have only had Mood and the stock app on it. I had Zedge installed, but removed it after downloading a few things from it. I read where other people had problems with apps like Zedge, but I have used it for a few years with no issues. Today I went back to the default SMS app on my V10, and so far it is working. If it stays working, great, but I will miss Mood. I really liked that app! I could factory reset my V10, but really do not feel like it!! Maybe other SMS apps do not do so well since you cannot remove or disable the stock one without rooting. I normally do not root my phones, but I guess since I pushed Marshmallow on it, I could not do it anyway.
I keep getting an error whenever someone sends me a picture message, saying the message was not downloaded, tap to retry. Tapping to retry does nothing, and then I'll get the same error notification several times a day, until I just go and delete the failed picture download. In many or all cases tho, the picture actually does download. I'm on T-Mobile but haven't had this error for years on several different phones..... just the Tmo V30. Anyone else?
I'm getting the same thing on my T-Mobile V30+ is super annoying. I have no idea what is causing it.

I had disabled Android Pay for some reason, so i went ahead and re-enabled it. I had only used the settings within the phone to do that tho. Do you think it could be something like that?
We aren't the only ones, I posted this on Reddit V30 sub and a few others chimed in with the same problem. I haven't managed to find out if everyone is on T-Mobile.

No, disabling Android Pay by using settings in the phone wouldn't cause that issue with texts.
The only reason I'm asking if because a few times when people have complained about stuff not working -- like Always On Display and other things -- turns out they used package disabler or ADB (using the same vague package disabler descriptions) to disable/remove what they thought was "bloatware" but was really stuff they wanted to work.
Or caused severe lag, because the phone apparently looks for what's missing before giving up. It's ironic people are slowing their own phones down...
1) a lot of things are interconnected.
2) true bloatware isn't labelled "this is useless", with important stuff labeled "this is important".
Right now there's a case where a guy and his wife both have T-Mobile LG V30, on T-Mobile with the same plan, same exact firmware. But one has VoLTE grayed out while the other doesn't, and one dialer doesn't show voicemail icon while the other does. He used the package disabler to disable some services and apps, but we don't know why they're different if he disabled the same things? He also doesn't know what to re-enable to get everything back.
But it sounds like that's not the reason in your case.

Yes, gotcha. I've kinda been there, done that haha. In the past. These days I don't do much to my phone, just let it be and work like normal. Well, hopefully it works anyway
Same issue on T-Mobile v30+.... sometimes MMS/photos fail and offers "retry" only to fail again.... doesn't happen all the time....usually on 5 or more mb images.
What's strange is that it seems like I sometimes get the picture AND a failed message. Like if somebody sends me two pictures, I'll get the two pictures and two failed messages. So I'll I wonder if maybe they sent me four pictures, but when I ask they tell me they sent me two. Weird

It's a carrier locked phone from Claro latin America. They seem to be using mostly stock google apps except for the dialer. Gallery and music have both LG and Google versions.. I have not used any other V30 so I thought all other carrier versions were the same.

Same thing here
Hey all. I have had the same issue from the first week I got both my V30's and I am on T-Mobile as well. I went to the store and they tried every troubleshooting step they could and tried every combination of settings. I am using the stock messaging app and even with a third party google messages app, it still happens so I think it's a T-Mobile issue. They had tech support call me which was not very helpful because they tried doing the same steps the store did and I should mention I worked for Verizon Tech for ten years so I kind of know my way around a phone. I went and completed a master reset and restored nothing at all, and it still happened. I changed the sim like T-Mobile said and still the same. I connected my phone to my PC and used LG software upgrade and repair tool after the new software was available and still the same. Went back to the store and they are going to send me a warranty replacement even though it is happening on both my phones. T-Mobile is not acknowledging this issue and if this warranty replacement has the same problem, I will take it to the next step and report it to the BBB.
Any updates? Having same issues. Changed sms to mms and vice versa but still no change. Picture messages fail to download regardless of size even at 900 kb. People say they get my messages 5-10 minutes after I send to them. My group messages seem to be on a huge delay in receiving and sending.
