[Q] Problem: +1 added to calls - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Having a problem making calls. When I dial via Google Voice, or by clicking a number in my browser, a +1 gets added to the number, and as a consequence I get an error stating the network is busy. If I delete the +1 before dialing I have no problem connecting.
I've played with various options that I found, to no avail.
I'm running Liquid Gingersense 1.6 (happened on 1.5, too), and I honestly can't remember if it happened on my stock 2.2.1
any help?

I'd guess it's a problem with your ROM. I run the current "stock" software (rooted, minus bloatware). I have all my Google Voice numbers entered as E.123 numbers, e.g. +1(800)555-1212. Works fine, as it should.

+1 is the country code for the USA.

Double post.

I'm aware it's the long distance code (and that I double posted..wasn't sure where I'd get the most traffic).
Problem is that i get the error "network busy. Please try again later". This happens even if I manually type the +1 before a number. So really the fact it's getting added isn't the problem. But it is superfluous.
So my question, part 2, should be: do you think it's still a ROM issue or a VZW issue.

Anyone have issues setting up Google Voice?

I just went through to setup my GV account on the phone, and I'm running into a problem. First, it says it doesn't recognize the phone number I'm using, even though it's the same number as I was previously using with my last phone. Then it goes to send a text message to the phone to verify the new number, but it says "Your phone number could not be verified, please try again."
I'm wondering if my device isn't activated correctly. I had some issues initially, because they sent me a SIM card that was linked to the wrong phone number, and I had to spend a while on the phone with customer service, then took it in to a VZW store, where a girl played with it for 30 minutes, not seeming to know what she was doing. She claims she got the SIM card switched over to MY phone number, and the 4G data does work... but maybe it's still linked to the incorrect number, and that's causing GV to not be able to verify the phone #?
That's my guess at least. So anyone let me know if you've had the same issue, so I know if it's a problem with GV, or with this SIM deal.

Have you verified if you got the correct number? You'll have to check to make sure your SIM card is provisioned with your number. Might want to ask customer service or walk into a store for them to make sure all is well. Once you get it up and running, GV will work fine. Been using it without any problem.
No issues here. Set up went as it has on all of my android phones.

Damn, guess I'll have to bring it back in for them to look at tomorrow.
In the About Phone, it does show my number... but something's gotta still be messed up with it if GV can't recognize the number.
Just wondering but have you uninstalled and reinstalled google voice? When I set mine up it did say something about voicemail not being able to be set up on this phone.

When you're on google.com/voice, did you already setup your phone number there? Or did you just download the google voice app?

The voice mail setup isn't a problem. You can set that up on your google voice account online. Just go to the settings and it will ask you if you want to enable google voice mail to your associated number.

Over the past several weeks I even had trouble with my motodroid and I experienced it again today when I first set up my TBolt, although this time it only took re-attempting it once. Running stock TBolt.
I only use Google Voice for voicemail, but it gave me a weird error at the end of the setup, something about not supported on my carrier and I had to check a help document. Seemed to finish anyway and is apparently working. *shrug*
Seems like there are some quirks.

Everytime I flash a new ROM I lose voice and data??

Like the title says, everytime I flash a new one, or if I flash ziggy kernel especially I cannot get voice calls or data, i get radio interface shortage errors when texting ect, i have to do the ##3282# reset about 5 times to get anywhere, any theories or suggestions? I haven't seen anyone else with this problem and it started when I flashed xron ROM a few nights back..
Are you a google voice user? Are you gsm or cdma?
I only use google voice for voicemail, its Sprint CDMA
Did you update your radios AND firmware? I think the file was radio firmware nohboot or something like that?

It doesn't happen to me EVERY time, but I find myself having to go through the whole reprovisioning and re-setting data thing a lot more than I would prefer to. Hell, I've had 6 of these handsets since release date and I've had to **** around with this issue right out of the box on EVERY one! Love the phone but cmon HTC....wtf!! They really screwed the pooch on this phone, lol.

My problems are usually data problems. As far as losing voice, that happened once after using one of the older "superwipe" files floating around. Took a whole Saturday to get it back, had to get Sprint involved...boy was I pissed! Been using XRON superwipe lately and it's doing the trick!
Try ##scrtn# from dialer then enter your msl. After it reboots let us know if that works.

Still didn't help, when I go to more info on the radio interface shortage error the error code is 67,wasn't that the code a lot of people were getting after revolutionary first came out?
Call sprint and have them reset on their end....and good luck
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I might have to do this, for some reason this actually happens after every single reboot, had to clarify that.
This happened to me too, even with those resets you are talking about I wasn't able to fix it. You have to call sprint, they do something on their end, guide you through the same process you are talking about, and then it works. Dial 611, tell them the error and any error code you have. Apparently they are familiar with it because they know exactly what you are facing and know how to fix it without doing any research or any other diagnostic steps.
I don't think this problem has anything to do with HTC, or the phone itself. I think it has to do with Sprints Google Voice integration. I use GV for voicemail only and I have this problem every once in s while. Next time it happens, try making the call using GV. If it works you know this is your problem. For some reason, even though you have it set up differently, GV will take over. This is a completely separate issue from the error 16 that a lot of people are getting with this phone. If it is an error 16 a simple call to Sprint will fix it. If it is the GV integration thing, then it is much harder to fix and rebooting to recovery, wiping cache and dalvik will sometimes fix the problem. Also, reflashing the kernel will sometimes fix it too. I haven't figured out a definite way to fix it yet though. It seems every time this happens, it takes something different to fix it.
I'm actually not even setup to make calls on google voice, I went directly onto the voice. Google. Com website and changed the settings to voicemail only and turned off all other integration.. Can it still be interfering?

Yes. Mine is set up the same way and when this happens if I choose to ask me every time I make a call in the GV app settings and choose GV to make the call it goes through, but when I chose do not use GV it won't work. I get a message that says, "I'm sorry, we are unable to complete your call at this time. Please try again later" and that's it. Since the Google Voice integration with Sprint I have noticed that no matter who you are calling you must dial 1, then the area code, then the # even if it is a local call.

[Q] How to Set Up Google Voice Voicemail on Note - Errors out

Has anyone gotten Google Voice working on their AT&T Note? It errors out when I try to switch to it via the app or through settings -> call -> Voicemail service.
Mine works just fine without setting it up at all. I get visual voicemail and everything.
Reinstall and run the setup by launching the app

I got the same error over and over, finally got it working by manually putting in my google voice number into the call forwarding settings, worked right away

Actually i take that back, i tried again and it worked for some reason.
I had this problem in order for me to fix it i went to google voice from my computer, deleted my phone from the list in google voice and then set my phone up again from my computer. after that it all worked fine.
Similar problem - just Error with no more information and an OK/Cancel button
Re-install didn't work.
I ended up using the code from GV to "activate" the phone and that set all the forwarding numbers. It appears to be working, but doesn't say that Google Voice is the provider.
Still would be nice if MMS would work with AT&T/GV, especially since the messages just get dropped.
I had the same issue. Make sure it says ATT in carrier when you log into google voice (the website). If it doesn't, try to redetect it. Mine still showed Sprint for 48 hours before it detected I was actually on ATT.
Also entered the codes as mentioned on this site:
http://kalsey.com/2010/10/using_goog...cemail_on_att/
The important part to save you a click through:
"Second, open up your phone’s dialer and dial the following, replacing 1234567890 with your new Google Voice phone number…
*61*1234567890# (then hit send)
*62*1234567890# (then hit send)
*67*1234567890# (then hit send)
You should see a message appear on your phone after each time you press send. This will set up your AT&T account to take all calls when the phone is busy, when you decline a call, or when your phone is turned off or out of range and forward the call to your Google Voice number."
After doing the above I was able to change Carrier in settings to Google Voice without any problem.
Alternatively, you should be able to dial *004*xxx-xxx-xxxx# (where xxx-xxx-xxxx is your Google Voice phone number) and press call and it will automatically set everything up as well.

This is what I did and it worked perfectly.

Using either the single code or the individual codes, the forwarding numbers are all fine, but I still cannot change the provider to Google Voice. I don't know that that hurts anything.

caderoux, you should be fine. As long as the forwarding numbers are there it should automatically go straight to your G Voice inbox. You can always call yourself to double check...
Just had to go into Settings->Call->Call Forwarding and set the "Forward when unanswered" to my Google Voice number. For whatever reason, "When busy" and "when unreachable" were set properly, but the "when unanswered" wasn't being set by the setup process. However, voice worked fine once that was manually set.
I was also having problems manually setting it up, so i called the *004*xxx-xxx-xxxx# code with my google voice number and its working perfectly now.
Setting up through Gvoice did not work.
Dialing the code on my phone gives me a "call cannot be completed" message.
I had to go into Settings->Call->Call Forwarding and manually set all three forwarding numbers.
Edit: I just realized I was missing the # on the end of my gvoice number. The code worked when I put it in correctly.

Google voice dialing weirdness

Anybody else having weird problems when dialing through Google voice, it shows as dialing some weird number instead of actual recepient number, it connects fine though but both while dialing and in call log it shows as some random number.
Mine does the same thing. When I call it shows some weird number in the voice notification. But connects to the number i called.
Only difference is mine shows shows the right number while in the call and in the call log.

Google Voice has always done this for me on my Droid X. On the DX it would be a white popup over the dialer saying it was connecting to some odd number. Sometimes it would be the same number in succession but it seems to change every now and again. It was never in the same area code as my VZW number.
Honestly, I don't know if I've made an out going call on my S3 yet! My GV number rings through to my office phone, the S3, and Google Talk/sipdroid (for IP phone goodness on the retired DX).
I have noticed that I've been able to txt someone from GV and the conversation picks up in the stock messaging app. I'm on VZW and this was NOT the case with the DX. It wouldn't pick up a reply to GV txt in stock messaging. I don't know about initiating the msg from the stock app though. I'll have to test that.

You know I'm not sure what my old Inc does. I'll have to see if it has that weird number as well.
And as for receiving them in the stock messaging app as opposed to the voice app there is a setting in the voice app under "sync and notification" to change between the two. I've never used it through the stock messaging app so have no idea about it.

I read somewhere that it has something to do with (at least in ATTs case) that they don't include the gvoice api. Might be the same for Verizon.
Hopefully some talented dev. will be able to make a simple CWM fix for this annoying problem.

[Q] Call ended without connecting

Hi
I've searched around and read a lot but couldn't find the answer to my problem.
Here is my issue.
When I dial a number, it tries to call then ends the call right away before it even rings.
Can't receive calls either.
Can't send sms, nor receive sms.
Additional info.
I have full signal and it says my carrier on the status bar
Imei is correct - same as back of phone
Phone is unlocked - checked status
Unlocked with Galaxsim unlock, paid version
used repair gsii by helroz, didn't work
apn is picked up by the phone
carrier sim applications menu shows but don't work
Went back to stock with mobile odin, all the way to gingerbread which I'm using right now.
Please advice on what to do, any help is appreciated.
Interesting; I've never heard of this particular problem before. The first thing I would try would be a different modem, because that's a very easy fix. Also, incorrect APN's could be a factor, even though you say you've already checked that. I would advise checking them again - slowly. Sometimes something as simple as an extra space (or lack thereof, in the case of the 'default,supl' portion of the APN) can cause them not to work correctly.
Good luck.
I've flashed different modems and that didn't work.
Caller ID in settings give error network or sim card problem it says.
Btw I'm trying with different by Sims and both work on other phones.
Apn is correct I double checked. It picked it up auto.
Let me if you think of something else.
Thanks.
