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'm coming from the Captivate, and the only option I'm really missing on the Atrix is the call reject feature. I want to be able to automatically reject calls from certain numbers and unknown numbers, can't find the option there anywhere.
I know I can use the 'silent rington' trick, but that's not idea and doesn't work with unknown numbers.
Any thoughts?
Are you asking to blacklist certain numbers, dismiss a call like with volume down, or have all calls for a period of time go straight to voicemail?
Blacklist numbers, I found an app for it though that I'm gonna try
Reject with Text
I was wondering something similar. With the Captivate and many other phones I had, there was an option to "Reject with Text." This was a nice feature I used every now and then. It seems that it is missing on the Atrix, does anyone know of an app or something that can do something similar?
I would suggest using Google Voice, which is free and open to anyone now.
You give out your GVoice number, and set GVoice to forward to your cell phone. No one ever needs to know your cell number direct, and if you change it..you just change the setting in GVoice.
GVoice allows you to actually block individual numbers--and generate specific responses to them! And you won't pay for the call, which would use cellular airtime if it was just your cell phone blocking it.
When editing a contact ---- under "Additional info" -> "Call handing" you can select "send strait to voicemail" .... however Mr. Number block is great for this by automatically blocking known spam by sending straight to voice mail or my favorite the "answer and hangup" tactic
The best solutions as stating before is Google voice as you can play a "this number is disconnected" or "the number you are calling does not accept unknown/blocked numbers" voice mail greeting.
Contacts > [Select a contact] > Additional Info > "Send straight to voicemail" [Check box]
I downloaded an app that works for me. The Contact thing is fine for numbers that you know, but not for unknown caller numbers.
I've tried Google Voice and wanted to like it, but its not my cup of tea.
It looks like the reject call feature and list is missing on this ROM, but not a big deal since there are apps to handle it.

The reject call feature works perfectly...the reason they don't allow you to just block all unknown calls is because almost nobody would actually need that. What if your mother ends up being rushed to the hospital because of an accident and the police try calling your phone (the number she gives)? Police officers usually leave messages but what if he doesn't want to so he tries calling a few times and thinks your phone is off because it always goes directly to voicemail?
It's not that hard to just hit "Reject" when you get a phone call from an unknown number...

The police would not be calling from an 'Unknown' number, if the police are calling me I'd see a number displayed on the caller ID.
I've NEVER received a call from a number tagged as unknown or blocked that wasn't a telemarketer call.
The 'reject call' feature, as I've seen it implemented on MANY other Android phones in the settings menu, is MISSING on this phone. Its not that it doesn't work, its that it is missing (AFAIK anyway)
I agree that it is missing, I miss it too. I used it all the time for a few numbers that kept calling me and asking for random names. Seriously though the same number would call and each time ask for a different name. All i ever had to do before was enable auto reject and click "add to reject" when that number, or set of numbers called. Now I will have to add it to contacts and then reject it. Not a big deal, and good to know that I have an option.
soo in the end whats the name of the free program that can reject automatically the unknown callers? i need that 2.(the SGS+ had that feature and it was awsome, i really need it)
I'm running an unlocked and rooted Atrix on Fido in Canada and have noticed a peculiar problem. Whenever a call is made to me from my landline at home, the Caller ID displays "Pay Phone" instead of the contact associated with that number. This does not happen with my wifes iPhone or my old HTC Desire HD. Other landline numbers show up properly, but this (and one other number) keep showing up as "Pay Phone". I've tried removing the number from the associated contact, but it keeps showing up as "Pay Phone".
Anyone else seen this with their Atrix? Any helpful suggestions?

Installed TrueCaller on my Atrix - this does report the number correctly but the font is pretty small and not too readable.
It seems like the number is being transmitted, but the stock caller ID app has a bug that causes it to display "Pay Phone". Looking around on the web shows it may be a Rogers/Fido network - Stock caller ID app issue that may be the root of the problem.
If anyone is on the Fido/Rogers network, are you seeing this sort of behaviour on your Atrix?
I'll be able to let you know later in the week. I should have mine on Rogers by mid-week.

Thanks for using TrueCaller!
/Team TC
This happened to me earlier today. I'm on Rogers.
Caller called from north on Mississauga road - a business (I was expecting it). Big office, many trunks in the building. I've never had it display as PAY PHONE before though today it did.
This isn't happening from all calls, just this one so far.
I think the Motorola support folks have found the root of the problem. It looks like there is a bug in the Atrix Dialer app that makes it behave incorrectly and display "Pay Phone" without the number if you have Caller ID with Name Display enabled with your carrier.
Rogers(and Fido) is the only North American carrier (I think) that has the option to give you the Name Display along with Caller ID. The fix for now is to get Rogers/Fido to enable Basic Caller ID (without Name Display) and then the numbers will start showing up. It sucks to lose Name Display and I hope the Motorola development team will have a fix for it at some point.
BTW, this will affect any carrier worldwide that has the Name Display option with Caller ID.
FYI - here's a thread I've had going on the Motorola Support forums.

Yes, I found it happened only on certain numbers, not on all.
How did you get True Caller - did you sideload it? I can't get it from the market

TrueCaller is available from the market. The only issue with it is that the Caller ID number is displayed only for 1-2 rings. Unless I am waiting for it, I'm not fast enough to see the number with TrueCaller until the call ends.
If the caller ID problem really annoys you (like it did me), you should ask Rogers to remove the Name Display option from your Caller ID.
i got the same problem, grrrrrrr
any way of getting the dialer from another build of android?
this sucks, i hate that all calls are as Pay Phone

But won't this remove ALL name display? I only get the caller ID issue for some numbers but not all.

name display is a feature that you can add or remove from the basic caller id, it shows up the names of people calling who are not on your contact list. if you ask for it remove and someone that is not on your contacts calls you then you will only see the number. just make sure that you still have caller id without name display.

Thanks Tested and it works!
Anyone tested to see if the new firmware fixes the issue?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
the update wont fix this as its not a problem with bell and at&t atrix. doubt they are ever going to do anything about this unless the phone comes to a carrier with name display.
Maybe, but it would be nice to get a confirmation from a rogers customer

Well the Atrix will be released in Europe soon, so maybe that version will have the name display option like us What do you think? lol
Hi All,
I needed to stop a contact calling me so I added them to the blacklist, to check I tried blacklisting my personal mobile calling the Samsung Galaxy S2, so I can see when I view the contact details the no entry symbol on the number ( Why does it not show on the contact list?, surely it would make more sense to also show on here so you can see which contacts you have blacklisted rather than have to edit or view details for each one to find?), however when I try to ring the Samsung it still rings and I can still hear ringing on my personal phone which is not what it says in the instructions ?
When I check the call log, the number is there with the no entry symbol also so it obviously knows its blacklisted, but its not stopping the call ?
Anybody else tried this?
PS: I am now using the Lightning ROM so maybe this could be aproblem with the rom so if somebody could check who is on stock rom that would be great.
Also, is the blacklist option limited to the number of entries?, is it also suppost to block sms ?
SMS can't be blocked. It depends on the network and will be sent through. You can alternatively put them under Spam/Blocked folder, that's all you can do.
About Blacklist of Contacts in GSII, yes it DOES work. I am using it from the first day. You just have to press and hold on a Contact or Call Log to add it/them to Blacklist. Yes, there is no sign whatsoever that you will see as blacklisted, but to confirm just go to, Settings-Call-Call rejection-Black list to see which number/s you have added under Blacklist. And I do believe that Blocking capability also depends on the Network, other party, whom you've blocked, will hear Ring for a second or less before hearing the Busy tone. I didn't like that, thus installed Root Call Blocker and I can say it works just the same as the in built call blocker of GSII. I am still searching for an app which could be able to do real block, i.e- Elimination of ring at the first second or two and hear Busy/Unavailable tone straightaway, but still I doubt it would work or not as it depends on the carrier you are on IMO. Still if anyone knows a good app please let us know.
Regards.
the same problem here...
i was able to block contacts by the blacklist but all of sudden i cannot...
i added them in black list and the symbol shows the they are blocked but when they calling the phone ring again...
i don't know what to do....

Possible corrupt file back up data and factory reset phone .

I think the way blacklist works changed after the last droid update.
go to settings -> call -> call rejection -> auto reject mode ( set to Only blacklist )
The GII Blacklist is limited to 100 entries
Hi guys,
I have been using the Lumia 920 for about 2 months now and I am pretty much satisfied, but I have a problem. I would be happy if you can help me out.
While I am in a call and somebody calls me on the second line, many times I get a call from an unknown number. For example today, I was talking to a friend and in the mean time my wife called. I see that someone is calling me but it says that the number is "Unknown". And it happens for many callers I get, not just my wife. Then when I look at the call log, it still says that it is a missed call from an Unknown number. Any idea is there a fix for that or I just need to wait for the next version of WP and hope it will be fixed.

HI,
I have the same issue. I think it's related to a call divert, when my phone is not reachable - do you have any call diverts configured ?
The issue could also be that your second line does not support or is not configure by your provider for caller ID.

No, that is not the case, since by last phone that I used on that SIM card was an iPhone 4S and I am still using it with another SIM card on the same mobile provider. On the iPhone I don't have that problem.

Yes, I have a call divert. The same one that you mentioned. When my phone is not reachable it gets redirected to my other phone.
I guess that might be the problem. But how do I fix it? Remove the forwarding? I don't want to do that.
