i've not had any luck receiving sms delivery reports since i got the phone. (of course they're enabled on the phone). i have replaced the sim card and called verizon to reset authentication, and they ended up setting up a trouble ticket and telling me that this device has no known issues.
i had the same issue on my razr after JB rolled out and i fixed it by disabling SMS over IMS. i'd like to do that with my S4, but i'm not sure how.
the only hidden menu i'm able to access is the service menu (*#197328640#) and i can't find the option on there. anyone know how i would go about doing this?

I'm using the TG01 and I keep getting a false positive voicemail indicator on the Titanium Home Screen. Calling and leaving a voicemail and deleting it does not work, calling ATT to have my voicemail reset does not correct the problem.
When you call into the VM ATT service from the phone to check your messages, it sends a VM control SMS to the phone, indicating that it is not being properly processed. Has anyone else seen this, or know of a problem besides a master reset - which is annoying b.c. this is the second time this has occured in three weeks.
Thanks!
Search for the tool HushSMS. I Had the same problem and did resolve it with HushSMS.
Isn't this the opposite of what we want to occur though? We are trying to hide network messages from the device not from those we send to.
No, with HushSMS it's possible to send a message to your own phone, that changes the SIM Setting and deletes the voicemails that are not there but which WM shows you.
Thanks that worked!
You're welcome
Although...on second thought - this makes it dissapear but does not prevent it from occuring again - was this the same result for you?
No, it occured never again.
Did it occur again at your phone?
Yeah it occurs again everytime I get a VM, bummer. What type of SMS did you send with Hush SMS?
Is there a way to officially set up ATT VM on an unlocked phone that I'm not following correctly?
The rom update Toshiba released recently did not correct this either as I had hoped. Any thoughts as to why these control SMS and MWI don't process correctly?
Removing the indicator with a Ping0 message in HushSMS is a workaround to parse the indicator but does not prevent it from occuring agian.
Anyone know how to fix this? Getting really irritating honestly.
Same here...
I am on Virgin mobile in the UK and I have the same problem, I got a voicemail this morning and I have deleted the voicemail but it still shows on my phone.
I have rebooted and its still the same
I have to use HUSH SMS to clear my voicemail indicator.
For me it's actually a problem on my sim card. After a flash there is this residual text message that says i have a voicemail. It's wierd.
Anyway, it's a MWI Disable command with HUSH SMS
Click Send MWI, Voice, Deactivate.
Also, you can mess with your windows mobile enabled friends by sending an enable

I have an unlocked Xperia Z2 tablet with ATT. The data plan works perfectly, and the tablet has its own phone number. The IMEI number is that of a phone and tablet so I have to pay a higher charge for the line and it supposedly has unlimited calls and messaging.
Here's the problem though. All of the apps that come with the device which could conceivably be used to send an SMS message or make a phone call are Verizon exclusive and require a contract with Verizon to use. I attempted to install message or phone apps, but the Google Play Store sees it as a tablet and not a phone and won't provide those and I'm unsure if any apk files would work around it. I don't need to be able to make phone calls, but I do need to be able to send text messages to the tablet and not to any other device. Simply spoofing the number isn't going to be enough. It has to have its own unique number. I know that the hardware is supposed to be capable of doing that, but I can't seem to get anything on it that will work.
What are my options? I know once I get it properly rooted I can delete those apps, but how do I get them replaced?
Also, something I'm curious about. The only 4G bands this is tablet gets on the AT&T network are H++. Why doesn't it go any higher for the latest high end tablet?
EDIT: I used this tool(I'm not allowed to link anything here, even though I was allowed to link in a previous post?) to download the APK for handcent and then moved it to the tablet and installed from there. It had no problem installing, but when it asked to be made default it got stuck in a loop trying to allow it. After I eventually selected to skip it said certain features won't be available until it is default. (I hated the whole default thing that was added in 4.4. On my phone it keeps me from using multiple messaging apps properly) and I was able to SUCCESSFULLY send a text! I checked the phone and it was send as an SMS message from the phone number of the tablet. I was also able to reply without any problems.
The only issue now is declaring the default messaging app, which I don't appear able to do. The Verizon message app is the default and probably locked itself as such. ugh. Anyone have any suggestions?
Oh, and it told me "Voice calling not supported" so I don't know if the tablet itself is incapable of making calls or if it's another bug introduced by Verizon.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 from Verizon (Lollipop). I was able to use alternate dialers up until recently, when I activated Verizon's new "Advanced Calling 1.0" feature.
Advanced Calling is Verizon's name for VoLTE (voice-over-LTE), which is supposed to provide clearer calls by using data for calls. They're rolling this out slowly and you have to opt-in, then reboot your phone. See some info here: verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/advanced-calling.html
Ever since I activated this, my phone seems to force me to use the original dialer. I think this is because the Advanced Calling feature won't work with other dialers.
Once I learned this, I deactivated Advanced Calling. It only works if both phones have it anyway, and since almost no one has this yet, and I would rather use my own dialer, it wasn't worth the trouble.
However, even after deactivating Advanced Calling, my phone still won't let me choose a different dialer. I've rebooted and cleared all defaults, but my phone still won't even pop up the default chooser screen for calls. I can start another dialer manually, but after dialing or touching a contact name, the original stock dialer then opens to complete the call.
Assuming you've actually read this far, any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
Suddenly, my phone has decided to block ALL calls, even from my favorite contacts and voicemail. I just cannot receive incoming calls. The notification shows "Missed call from (blocked) [contact name or phone number]." The [contact name or phone number] part shows the name of the contact or phone number that is being blocked.
EDIT: Outgoing calls work just fine.
I have disabled blocked/black lists on the phone app, removed any restrictions from Hangouts/Voice and any other apps that interfere with the phone functions. I have restarted the phone and restored the phone app from Titanium. I have frozen/uninstalled any third party apps that provide calling/texting functions, such as voice, hangouts, talkatone, etc. I have even cleared cache and removed default app options from phone/contacts.
This problem suddenly started and I just cannot figure out what may be causing this problem. When I search online, it shows listings of apps that block calls, etc., but nothing that addresses my problem.
I am an advanced user - I have root on my current phone (Galaxy s3 with 4.4.2), and have installed custom roms on previous phones (an old Charge, s2, S3), etc. I am not a newbie, so, PLEASE answer my issue without condescension - THANK YOU.
I do not want to factory reset my phone - any ideas about what might be causing this problem and how to resolve it?
Phone info: Galaxy s3 with 4.4.2, rooted, on Verizon (I535).
Thanks.
Verizon tier 2 tech not helping
Tier 2 tech hasn't helped at all!
My only thought would be that what ever file that handled blocked calls got corrupted, and it wasn't removed when you uninstalled it. The only thing that might help is reflashing the rom. Now I never advise a dirty flash due to issues that can come of it but as you don't want to factory reset then it might be an option.
As you are not a noob my suggestion would be to format just the system partition, and reflash. Or you could just reflash. Either way is not 100%
Verizon thinks it might be a SIM card problem. So, I'll replace it and see how that works. If not, a bloody re-flash it will be.
Any other ideas in the meantime?
Thanks.
Trying to get my sis's new N10 setup for her, she uses Page Plus (Verizon towers) and I cannot get sms or mms to work at all. WELL I can SEND a sms but cannot receive. I've done the whole pop sim out and back in to get the + button to show up for adding access points and fill everything in but the only thing that still remains unable to be changed is the ENABLE/DISABLE APN. I'm pretty sure this is the main issue. Any ideas how to fix this?
