Hi all,
I was just wondering if there are any Jelly Bean ROMs for the Droid Razr that reactivate the Message Area Protocol of the Bluetooth that was apparently disabled in the upgrade from Ice Cream Sandwich to Jelly Bean. For those who aren't aware, it is the feature of the phone that will push text messages to bluetooth connected devices, like cars. Many modern cars have the capability to receive these messages and read them back to you while driving, and the feature worked on all previous Android versions available on the Droid Razr prior to the JB upgrade.
Anywho, are there any ROMs out there that have reactivated this feature? I have the Verizon version (912, i presume). Any help would be very much appreaciated!
Thanks,
Dan

I bought an HTC Flyer 3G recently and i was enthused that i could make calls with it.
This link Downgrade from HC beta leaks or official HC OTA to Gingerbread. - xda-developers and several others provides solutions to it but so far the far i have gotten in Unlocking the Flyer at the HTC Unlocking website.
I am told to downgrade from Android 3.2.1 to a lower version because my hboot: 1.11.0011 is not supported which i am confused about at the moment.
I would be glad if someone could please walk me through all the steps (as a novice) in getting the phone and Bluetooth headset to work on my Flyer. Please..
Google Voice solution.

I am evidently a novice, as well. (some folks on this site make sport of putting people in their place just for not knowing acronyms and jargon exclusive to some circles within this society).
I bought my View back when it was a Gingerbread device.
Google Voice & Google Talk were more functional with Gingerbread than with Honeycomb. For this reason I avoided the upgrade to Honeycomb.
So I downloaded both google apps and selected my own google phone number.
I also downloaded Groove IP dialer and set it up with my Google voice acct.
Somehow I have full incoming & outgoing calling with this device while in a data connection (wifi, in my case).
All my other Android devices support outgoing calls only, and I still don't know how to get Google Voice incoming on them without a wireless provider signal.
Perhaps You're not wanting the Google voice solution, but someone else may be reading this, who is.

I think you cannot make any phone call with a stock htc honecomb rom. There are posts in this form telling you to modify build.prop or other things (of course, you need to have root access for doing this), but this won't work - you need some kernel tweaks, too.
If you want your Flyer to make phone calls either go back to GB or use a custom Homeycomb / ICS / JB rom - most of them have phone functionality build in. I testet with Dexter's Jelly Bean and Leedroid - both have full call functionality.
I converted from the iPhone 4S to Verizon
I'm used to being able merge calls, split calls, disconnect a single call while continuing the other, etc
It may be my lack of experience with Android, but can anyone who knows explain to me .. how, if possible, these actions are done on stock Jelly Bean?
I'm about to exchange my Sony Xperia Z for a HTC One which I'm very familiar with on the AT&T side of things. Recently got out of the contract with AT&T so I decided to try out the Xperia Z. Not a bad phone but I ended up missing my HTC One without question.
Now the question I have is when I flash a ROM do I lose the ability to use Wifi calling? Thanks to t-mobile piss poor wall penetrator I absolutely can't afford to lose this feature.

As of now only 4.1.2 has Wi-Fi calling no 4.2.2 or 4.3 room have that feature and 4.1.2 has very limited roms available devs just jumped ship to newer is updates

Wifi calling info
Here is what I have been able to gather about wifi calling:
It modifies some kernel level (or otherwise low level) stuff so you can't just install it like an apk (an app)
T-mobile is not going to release the source changes (isn't this a violation of GPL?)
The combination of these two factors means you have to copy binaries from T-mobile ROMs to get it to work
Since it is binary kernel level type stuff it can only be copied to ROMs of the same android version
As of the time of writing this T-mobile has not released a 4.2 or 4.3 based ROM
Theoretically there are some 4.1.2 ROMs out there with wifi calling already applied (I don't have any links)
Theoretically there is a flashable package somewhere that can copy the needed binaries over a 4.1.2 ROM (I don't have a link)
This theoretical flashable package requires a sense ROM, wifi calling binaries might require sense
Virtually all of the ROMs listed on these forums DO NOT have wifi calling due to them being 4.2 and 4.3 based ROMs
The only exception I have so far seen are the "stock t-mobile" ROMs
When T-mobile releases a 4.2 or 4.3 based ROM then we should see 4.2 and 4.3 ROM devs copy over wifi calling to their ROMs as long as they have not moved on to 4.4 or later based ROMs by that time
So the bottom line is that right now the only option with wifi calling is the stock t-mobile ROMs. This may change if t-mobile releases a new ROM soon enough, but also may not last. The only long term hope for being able to consistently use it with custom ROMs is if they release the source or Google generically adds wifi calling to android (or changes the phone code such that adding wifi calling can be done in an apk, that way skype and google voice could be hooked in better as well).
Very informative Phreznl, but I would make a correction to your summary. Most ROMs that have been around for awhile and have an old 4.1.2 version include Wi-Fi calling, so you can have Wi-Fi calling on non-stock T-Mo ROMs. However you have to find the old file and sometimes that can be very difficult. I know TrickDroid has it (that's what I run), and I think ARHD also has it.
Don't mean to sound rude or anything, just informative to others looking for variation.

In other words it's a great phone stock, 4.3 official is coming in a few months & will have WiFi calling so leave it stock enjoy a great phone & WiFi calling as well. All I use in my condo works great.

Not. The. Same.
Ever since I updated my Droid DNA to CM10.2, my voice mail has not been able to connect to the Verizon voice mail service.
Has anyone else had this problem? I don't even receive notifications for voice mails, and I can't even access them. I will try updating to Android 4.4 and see if that helps.
I'm on PagePlus, rooted/S-OFF Incredible 2, AOKP 4.2.2. I've tried every Jelly Bean ROM, and none of them as far as I can see will show voicemail notification when there's a voicemail. Searching through xda plus the rest of the internet seems to heavily suggest there is no solution for this. Is this true? Is there no workaround at all for this issue?
