Why does it always say "Conditional call forwarding active" when I make any call?
Hi there, basically I bought a new and sealed T-Mobile branded Samsung Galaxy SII phone from eBay and am using my 3 mobile sim in it.... I assume it wasn't originally locked when I bought it, as I went through the root and unlock method (ChainFire app), and the code was 00000000, and never at any point asked me to enter that code into the system, so hey, my 3 sim seems to work in it.... apart from the fact that for every call I make the message "Conditional call forwarding active" always crops up with a beep to go with it, then after a couple of seconds the call is made. It isn't a major problem as such I don't think, but hell it definitely isn't normal and is quite annoying after spending £400 on this otherwise amazing phone.
I have tried to fiddle with the settings but for some reason I cannot disable any of the call forwarding settings, some sort of error message crops up. I have phoned up the 3 network who I am with three times today and they asked me to enter a few # codes to sort the problem out, but I had no luck, and then they had me factory reset the phone using the option in the settings. I did that, and I still have this problem. I also get the message "Connection problem or invalid MMI" when entering most # codes, this seems to have happened after rooting, though I am not 100% sure if that is the case.
My phone is the Samsung Galaxy S II I900, just to confirm that.
I look forward to hearing from you guys
I am on Three and I get the same message although my S2 was purchased from O2 then rooted. I have not seen any other reports about this but the message has not bothered me.
I have the same message. Ave tried several hings without success, however since it really does nothing, I am starting to get use to it. But if someone knows how to solve it please let us know
voice mail
Hi guys i have this to but it only started when i activated my voicemail so i think its down to the voicemail
e.g if your on the phone and someone else calls they are placed forward to your voice mail ???
hope this helps
Hey there guys, thanks for the replies so far, glad to hear others are experiencing this annoying problem. I seem to have had this since rooting it, originally T-Mobile though I am 99% it was never "locked" to the network for some reason as I mentioned as I have never had to enter the 00000000 code, which the free ChainFire sim app gave me (seems like it means it is unlocked already???). The guys on the 3 helpline were giving me loads of codes which weren't of any help, and telling me about what options I could fiddle around with, but I had tried all of these to no avail.
Are people also getting the MMI message I mentioned in my original post, whenever they enter # codes in the dialer? It seems to me that both of these problems started at the same time (this error message and the forwarding issue - I am sure they are linked). It means, for example, I probably won't be able to set up a speed dial because of it, nor will I be able to use the "secret codes" as mentioned in the dedicated thread of the same name on this site.
Why is it a problem for some and not for the majority of people, we must have something in common which we have done with our phones which has caused this?
I really hope someone can sort this annoying problem out.
It's normal. "Call Forwarding Active" is displayed when all calls are forwarded. "Conditional Call Forwarding Active" shows when forward when busy, forward when unanswered, or forward when unreachable is selected. To make the message go away you'd have to disable the three forwarding options in their settings. The pre-populated number is always your carrier voicemail (read from the SIM) or Google Voice.

Cheers for the reply Barry, yeah I expect it is normal but the thing is I cannot change these settings, my phone won't let me as an error comes up. I know it's not a major problem, just a bit annoying I can't get it to go away. I can't disable those three things, I tried a few times already.
Plus, I constantly get the MMI error message, which I mentioned before, seems a bit of a coincidence how these problems started the same time. I can't enter the majority of "#" codes into the dialer, it always says "USSD Running" or something along those lines and then produces the message like 2 seconds later.
Any ideas? Thanks so far for the advice
I have this problem but unlike all others I cannot make any calls on account of it. When I try to disable call forwarding I get an error msg saying it's not supported by the operator.
There HAS to be a way to fix this. I cannot make any calls or use 3G.
Try this
menu-call-additional setting-select network default...
It work with my sgs2.
On the Galaxy S2 if you go to: settings-call-call settings-call forwarding-voice call forwarding -- You will most likely see that for unanswered or unreachable calls it's not disabled because it forwards it to your voicemail, that's why it says conditional call forwarding is active. If you disable all options you won't get the message but then unanswered calls won't go to voicemail.Hope that helps.

you realise thats almost a year old? Check the dates on threads before you post
ADMIN EDIT: True, but it is a current issue for some people so it's still valid to answer the question.
Doesn't work
My phone drops every call, even with SIM cards from different countries and in all conditions. Thinking this call forwarding might have something to do with it, I tried to deactivate it, first through the settings -- no luck -- than by reformatting the phone. Nothing, cannot get rid of it because it says it is set by the 2 different phone companies I use.
I don't mind the message but when I call someone, I can hear that the call is being sent somewhere, there is a 1st ring, then it rings the other phone. Does this have to do with call forwarding? Can it be interrupting the phone signal and causing the call to drop ?
I have also removed both the Turkcell and Telefonica SIM cards, put them into another unlocked phone and tried to cancel but as soon as I put them back, the message returns and my calls drop.
Im also getting this error when I updated to 4.1.2 and used galaxy s2 sim unlock
Has nothing to do with call forwarding !!!
The Message worked on all AT&T cell phones, since i can remember,. i been using go phones since 06..... and they all had this message when right after the number was just dialed, right after pushing the green phone icon button to dial it , right after entering the number to be dialed on the keypad.
I have found this message on LG Cell Phone 500 CU series... and all my other phones as well...
IT is NOT a CALL FORWARDING ISSUE>.. because i had worked on that for awhile myself...
IT is a Carrier Issue I believe.
and it doesnt happen ever single time , just on certain days . not sure, why... but perhaps, call your carrier and ask them what type of phone they have your phone listed as.
Then tell them the model and make u have. that might change things... Cell phone carriers know how to mess with your phone and break it too...
so if ur having issues with messaging, call forwarding, it just may be the settings the carrier has you listed or down for.
blah.
anyways. yes it is annoying, i just got a new phone, samsung galaxy express. it is starting to happen too on this one. but had it for a few days and it never showed up till about 2 days later.
I thing it is perfectly normal for your device to display this message, I'm central america and mine also says the same thing anytime i make a call "Conditional Call Forwarding Active. However since I have a prepaid or pay as you go plan with my carrier and whenever I have no more credits to make calls i get the message "Calling Barring Enabled". I guess it has something to do with your carriers settings, it doesn't bother me at all though since I'm already used to it so hope that helps.
Enabling call forwarding for real and then disabling it seems to work
I got the same error also on every version of the stock rom (it used to appear occasionally, though) on my Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100, without g), in that case going into forwarding settings was enough, because the mobile used to read the current configuration from the network and recognized that there was no forwarding active!
I moved to Cyanogen Mod 10.1.3 / Stable and going into forwarding settings was useless... He was updating with the data from the newtwork, all the forwarding options were disabled but the notification message was still there...
I decided to enable it for real by putting a friend number from the same carrier and then disabling it immediately after, and it solved my problem! Hope it helps!
PS: I'm not sure that enabling the call forwarding is free of charge, just double check with your carrier first!

I had the problem. Just solved it. select any one sim. Select settings-call settings-call forwarding-make sure all the options listed therein are disabled. Do this selecting all your sims one by one. The problem will have solved.

Hello,

When i try to disable it another pop up message shows up " Unable to deactivate call diverting when phone is Unreachable. Unsupported by operator. "
Please help it is really annoying i can't call anyone.

I introduced my mom to google voice, short story, she didnt like it. I logged in via my pc, and disabled her sprint number through settings. Now when i call her all i get is a busy signal, im sure if anyone tries to call her theyll get a busy signal. She can make calls, just not receive them. Pardon my french, but what kind of bull**** is this? Does anyone know how to fix this?

this isnt a google voice problem and did you "disable" it or "unintegrate" it?
Step 1 - Set your mom's voicemail back to Carrier (If Sprint, the code is her 10 digit phone number).
Step 2 - Go to Settings -> Update profile and allow it to reload her profile.
Step 3 - Restart her phone.
If this fails, you should call *2 and request that a reset be sent to the phone.
I went from a 3.5 rom to a 3.0 because sprint wanted me to access the "system update" screen. When i first booted, before i added a google account, i was able to call her. Added her google account, then i couldnt call her. Seems like a google problem to me. What im thinking of doing is taking her blackberry to sprint and having the numbers put into a dif google account.
Call Sprint to reprovision your phone.

I would try first what this member is suggesting, there are codes availabe to disable GV voice mail, I believe is *72 or something, you can go to the GV help in the website for more info.
Now, if after unlinking the account to GV you still get the same reaction then go to sprint for help.
Question does your mother and you have different carries, e.g.: Sprint & Verizon?

For some reason the call and text on my Tab S7+ and S10+ isn't always working. When I make a call using the Tab S7+ I see a message saying "No network connection" but on my S10+ the call is being made but hangs up because it could not transfer to the tablet. I can't get any incoming calls either but get a missed call notification after they hang up. I cleared the cache and data on both the phone app and call & text app and it worked for a day. Now not even clearing the cache and data works. I don't know what the issue could be. Anyone have these issues?
I have the sprint version of the Tab s7. There’s no option to turn on calls and text from other devices. It came with a messenger app but no dialer. I’m confused. Am I unable to make Calls. I have the note 10+
That's another strange issue. Does Spring allow this service? I read that some providers in the US don't support this feature. I'm still having issue getting it to work 100%. I even cleared the cache partition on my phone thinking there might be something in there that is corrupt. Funny thing is sometimes I make a call on my Tab S7+ and get the no network connection but after a minute or two my phone stays its making a call from the Tab S7+. So there is a delay for some reason. Could this be something with the Samsung servers?

They said Verizon and ATT doesn't have the feature. I dont even have a phone dialer. Sprint told me to contact Samsung. Samsung said its sprint.
What I don't understand is why does it matter what service provider you have. From my understanding this feature works like this; (1) I make a call on my tablet (2) it goes through my home wi-fi to Samsung's server (3) Samsung server sends the number to my phone and initiates the call.
So why would the service provider care or even know if I directly make the call from my phone or it gets remotely dialed by Samsung.

Well I had a chat with Sprint again and they said the service has been disabled on all their tablets. I would have to download a 3rd party app to make calls. It does have a mess
Disabled on the T-Mobile S7+ as well. Went in through ADB and could not find the packages for this anywhere. Samsung said in marketing this tablet that it was not available on the Plus at launch, but that was the fine print. Just above that it said it was available, period. Hoping it shows up with the Android 11 update, whenever that shows up.

Sprint told me that they will no longer support making calls from the tablet. Apple tablets are still able to do this. I'm so angry about this. I've downloaded a phone app and now I have to use a new number with it... I hate it

It works with AT&T if you use an unlocked (XAA) phone.
AT&T only blocks it on the carrier version.
I have a Note 20 Ultra that was an AT&T carrier phone. I changed CSC to XAA and loaded U1 firmware and Call and Text on other devices is now available and working be tween my Tab S7 and my Note 20 Ultra.
Also, the calls do not get routed through Samsung. The link between the two devices is authenticated via Samsung, but the hand off is local (peer to peer) via your Wi-Fi connection.
Since you were able to get call and text on other devices working by changing firmware, did you loose the ability to make wifi calls? I have a S10 (AT&T carrier version) that I would like to keep the wifi-calling and also enable the call and text on other devices feature. Any suggestions?
