I do mate. I am on XSA stock firmware, have not rooted or done anything funny with this phone. I can get it to work by toggling the usage of the noise cancelling mic in the settings of the phone app.
Looks like a dodgy phone.apk implementation. Anyone got a fix to it? I've tried clearing the app data, etc but nothing really seems to fix it 100%.

Google voice

How can I change the amount of rings it takes to have voicemail pickup? It takes way too long. I tried to Google it but didn't find my answer. I'm not using a Google# if that helps. I'm using my cell #

I believe you're going to have to call sprint if you're using sprint. Your title says Google voice- so if you're not using Google voice and using your cell with cell phone number then yea youll have to contact your provider. Or check the settings within your phone settings

Disregard sprint...you have the thunderbolt. But I still think you'll have to contact Verizon.

Yes, you actually have to call VZW and have their rep set it up. Had a similar issue with the number of rings before going to VM. The rep resolved the issue for me, although I had to explain how Google Voice works before he understood fully what needed to be done.

[Q] SMS Problem

I usually don't ask questions. I solve them myself. Now I have a problem I don't know what to do. I can send SMS, use Mobile Data, make and receive calls, but I cannot receive messages. They don't show up. I am on the AT&T network. Everything worked until one night, it just stopped working. Couldn't get texts. Being a teenager, that is problematic for me XD. I have been to two AT&T stores (local and corporate). They wouldn't help me since it wasn't a branded AT&T phone. Wow. They take the money no questions asked. The part that confuses me is. I didn't do anything to my phone the night it stopped working. Anyone have any thoughts.
-Done so far= Flashed to stock, factory reset multiple times, checked message center #

So after a week same problem. Everything just stopped. This really pisses me off since I can't use my S3. I am back on my Captivate for the time being and it sucks now that I have experienced the S3. Anyone have any ideas what it is?
Sudden death syndrome is a good guess......

The only things I can think of is, have you got another messaging app messing things up, or in the messaging settings there's a spam settings, have you checked that?
Sorry if you have already checked these
Checked it and its off. I don't have or use anything but the stock SMS app.

I think as default the spam settings is on, at least mines on. Might be worth a try.
Also did you restore your old messages when you went back to stock, if so maybe try deleting all messages, clear data in app manager. Back up your messages before deleting though
Yeah i deleted everything. Flashed stock and tried. Nothing. It makes me mad that i cant use my phone.

just to clarify - the new sim card worked for a week or so on your S3 and stopped working. while the same sim card(with an adapter) works on your captivate ?
i want to figure out what's the source of your problem.
other thing - if i understand you correctly you went to AT&T to fix your phone. i suggest go to AT&T center or call their support cause every company has a number for checking sms transportation and see in what stage it failed. it's just sending a code to a certain number and you should get the desired info.
i really don't think it's a software problem
Here are the details. One night i noticed i wasnt getting text from a specific someone and it was weird. Within the next couple of days i went to AT&T store. Got a new micro sim for my S3, didnt work... Got a regular sim and put it into a old phone they had lying around and it worked. I then had them cut it down to micro sim and put it into my S3. Worked for about a week and stopped again. Got a new regular sim and put it into my Captivate and it worked. So im on that until i have it fixed.
Spam off
Sms center number right.

If I were you, I would try with another operator's sim card to figure out if the problem is on att network or the phone. Maybe get one of those pay-as-you-go/prepaid plans and try to receive an sms- if it works, then the problem is on att's network
Thanks i will see if one of my friends will let me.

When you put your sim in your Captivate did all the missed messages come through on the Captivate. If they did then I would say it's an issue on the S3, if not then it's probably an at&t issue
All of them came through yes. But why would it not work on the S3. And randomly? There was another guy on the forums that had the same problem.

Huge problem!! [Solved]

So the past two days I have used my old galaxy nexus to play around with aosp again. Yesterday I put my SIM back into my DNA and I can't get 4g. I have installed different kernels, wiped EVERYTHING, refitted the SIM 1000 times and still nothing. Guess what? 4g works fine on the nexus. Also, when using an app that allows me to access the phone info screen, lte only option gives me 4g with no hiccups. But when I change back to anything else I can't get 4g.
New SIM?
I saw an old thread about it but not many answers.
EDIT: new SIM fixed it.

Thanks for sharing. I literally just did the same thing. I guess I'll be going to get a new sim today.
Will this happen every time I use my nexus?

Edit- new SIM fixed it for me too.
Could either one of you guys tell me if phone calls caused com.android.phone to force close when making a call or when an incoming call pings the device.

On which device? And before or after new SIM? I never had it on my nexus although I recall having it on my DNA but only on sense 5 and I don't think it happened during my "Coruppted SIM" moment.

OK

I have a dna rooted bootloader unlocked that I am having radio issues I think. The radio version I am on is 1.01.01.1112 I am a verizon user and have had many roms on it. Same problem. I am now on Vipers newest. What is the newest? Any suggestions?
MODS< PLEASE REMOVE SO I CAN RENAME THE THREAD OR CHANGE THREAD NAME FOR ME TO "PEOPLE SAY I SOUND LIKE I AM BREAKING UP WHEN I CALL THEM", so I may get more help. thank you!
First off try to make an OP title that's a bit more descript. You have the latest radio...what issues are you having?

I realized that after I made it and couldn't figure it out how to change the title. The problem I am having is that when I talk on the phone people cant here me they say I am cutting out and that I sound fuzzy?

My data works great 4g and 3g is fine, Only issue I have is call quality and google voice wont call through no matter what rom I install. It lets me call out but doesnt bring my gvoice calls through, they always have to leave a message and i call them back.

I wouldn't think that that would have anything to do with the radio although I dint use Google voice so I'm going to have to let someone more experienced in that field take over

[Q] Signal strength, dropped calls

I have had a slight issue with call quality and dropping calls sense ive gotten this phone. I love absolutely everything about it but, when I make calls sometimes the other party cannot hear me, or the call will simply drop entirely. I have two phones, the Sprint G3 and the Sprint Galaxy Nexus. So far the Nexus still gets a better signal. I'm just a bit baffled, I have tried updating the PRL's and that helped slightly. Also im located in the Ogden Utah area. Anyone else have similar issues? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Try turning off Voice Enchantment in Call Settings.
I heard that helped some people.

Another thing you can try is set network to LTE/CDMA. Or if you don't have LTE just use CDMA.
I know it's helped me in the past.
LG's don't have the best reception.

Sorry I haven't been on in a few days. Turning it off did help with people not being able to hear me from time to time. But the random disconnects have still be an issue.
