Just trying to see if anyone else is in my boat. I was running the International 5.0.1 with Viper 4.3 and had set Google Voice to be my voicemail program. Once the RUU for AT&T stock rom came out, I decided to flash that to my phone and have a clean start. I ran the RUU twice and everything seems to be working great with the ROM. Except I can no longer access my Call Forwarding or Additional Settings options. My phone settings says that my carrier is my voicemail, but when I miss a call, Google Voice is still picking it up.
Anyone follow a similar path have a similar result? Just checking before I try flashing different ROMs to bring it back to life.
A search on the google shows people on the Note 4 having a similar issue to mine, but I don't see anyone else with a M8 in my boat.
Thanks.
edit: I guess I should have posted this in the Q&A section. Sorry, my bad.

Consider this issue solved. In the end something wasn't right about my SIM card. I removed it to try it in another phone and it worked fine there. Then when I put it back in this phone, it now also works. Probably had a smudge on it or wasn't seated quite right.
Sorry to waste the space here.

I'm loving my Vibrant on AT&T. My only problem is that voicemail doesn't work. It hasn't worked since early September when I got the phone. I've been too busy with school to deal with the issue. Also, most people just leave a text or wait until I call them back later. But I definitely need voicemail for work.
I followed step 3 here and got the confirmation, but it still doesn't work. Step 2 doesn't apply because I don't see that option, even in the stock web browser on GV's mobile site. I downloaded the official app and opened it too (read somewhere that it needs to be opened at least once).
I think the problem originates in VM under Settings (system settings). I can change the preferred voicemail to GV, but I can't change the number underneath it; it's grayed out and I can't select the phonebook icon next to it either. Does anyone know how to fix this? Anyone on AT&T and got it working on their Vibrant?
I'm using Nero v1 with the stock kernel if it matters.
Most importantly, this is NOT a thread for you to berate me and the other AT&T users about why we should have gotten a Captivate instead. Make your own thread for that, because I really need some advice on this matter. There are a LOT of reasons why I got the Vibrant instead, not the least of which are: still has 1900 HSDPA, better accessories since it's basically the I9000, can use $10 data plan and AT&T can't do anything about it, and it's cheaper unlocked. Oh, and the better community
Yes, I did when I had my Aria, and it worked as it was supposed to back then.
Dunno if they changed anything, but Google Voice didn't have any issues back then...
When setting up GV on my Vibrant on T-Mobile, the voicemail number is greyed out and it doesn't allow to change. I just backed into GV app, it wouldn't go past that part of the setup, but my voicemail is GV now. hope this helps.

Well, could you check your settings and verify that you're situation differs from mine?
Might have something to do with the SIM card too. I think AT&T sets a VM number on the SIM card and I need to get a phone that can change that number on the SIM card.
EDIT: lol, everyone in this thread has so much Vibrant hate in their sigs. I like my Vibrant (more functionality than my old BlackBerry, although not nearly as stable/streamlined). Wish GPS worked like it should and the default file system format were more efficient. And that Samsung weren't so damned neglectful of the customer. That's pretty much it.
Did you activate GV voicemail under setting in the browser...if yes then it should say.."DEACTIVATE GOOGLE VOICEMAIL ON THIS PHONE"...does it say that in ur google voice setting...Under "PHONES TAB"??? if yes then ur google voice is setup for that phone...

...and now I feel dumb.
It actually was activated, but I think the problem was that I hadn't included the country code and gave a 10-digit number rather than 11-digits.
I deactivated it and followed the on-screen instructions (call '##004#' on the phone to erase the settings) and instead of just '*004*xxx-xxx-xxxx#', used the exact number they provided, which included the country code (i.e. '1-xxx-xxx-xxxx').
Thanks! Hope this helps anyone how searches for this problem.

ok i got a i717 note and a att striaght talk sim card. I finially got the APN setting that came with the straight talk sim to save. Phone is making calls and messaging but the data services are not working. What am i doing wrong?
If your settings are like the ones in the screenshots I posted, then I would say there is likely problems with data im your area.
my settings are the exact same. no luck

also my carrier says "HOME" in the top left corner. I wonder if this has something to do with it?
Mine displays HOME when I pull down the notifications window and only for a few seconds when in the lock screen. Other than that it doesn't display HOME from what I've noticed. I don't think you have to worry about the what is displayed as the carrier's name. Since you are able to make phone calls and received messages (both SMS and MMS?) and the only thing that is not working is just data, then it's probably something in the phone configuration or a problem in your area. If you haven't done so yet I would recommend contacting Straight Talk.
What symbol, if any, do you have to the left of the signal bar?
I know this probably isn't the case but did your turn Wifi off? If not try turning it on or off and making sure it stays off so you can connect to the data network.
I don't know if you have done so but you could try a factory reset, not sure if this would help.
If none of the above works you could try rooting and flashing the AT&T stock rom to the phone or some other rom. (Consult this recommendation with someone more experienced here on the forums. Personally, I don't see more troubleshooting options.)
If there is no problem with the network and none of the above works then I think your phone may be damaged, unless it used to work perfectly with AT&T. Did you switch from AT&T to Straight Talk or did you buy the buy through ebay or on the street to activate ti with them?
I have a VZW i605 Note 2.
I am using AT&T service.
I have JellyBeans 21 ROM installed.
OK, on to the question...
When I receive a phone call the call back number is wrong. From what I have read it is an issue with non Verizon service or something.
If I were to get a call from 18147259951 it would show up as +8147259951 in my recent calls list, making it impossible for me to easily call them back from that screen.
Does anyone have any idea of how this could be fixed?
I know I can just install an international ROM and it will work, however then my GPS will not work. (I also really like JellyBeans)
This has been bugging me for some time now and I would greatly appriciate any assistance I can get.

Been waiting on AT&T to get back to me, having opened a tech ticket (On Sunday) to resolve issue. I can receive MMS messages, but I can't send one. Regular SMS not a problem. Have no issue with my Data connection. Reviewing the logcat file, I see a HTTP 502 error bad gateway showing up when the error occurs. So I am wondering if this is an issue with the HTC Phone on AT&T Network.
I have tried using different APNs, but that doesn't have any effect. I then decided to try a different ROM from Stock, and installed Venom latest. That had no effect.
So anyone else having an issue with sending MMS on AT&T with the M9?

Ruu and start over. Something has happened somewhere. I can't think of anything but a setting that would cause that. I would only backup your photos etc, i would not restore back to your current setup. Use ruu.exe or sdcard method, not fastboot method.

I'm going to wait for AT&T I think it's an error on their end. Supposed to hear by Friday.
I have had that exact problem with a different device before and it was an issue on the network side, not the device. They had to do some reprovisioning with line and that fixed it up. It is ridiculous that they are making wait so long when it is such an easy fix. Have you tried sending an MMS to yourself? Sometimes this helps with the provisioning.

Yes I have tried that, and sometimes it works but mostly doesn't. Supposed to hear back today.
AT&T never got back to me, so I had to call them. The girl I was working with seems to think it's the SIM card. That doesn't make sense to me, because if it works with the Interwebs, Facebook, Instagram,and I can recieve MMS, then I would think it's not the SIM card, whatever. Am going to test it the SIM card on my S4 to see if that makes a difference (Don't think it will.)
The people that answer the phone when you call are the first level of support. They know very little when it comes to technical support. If turns out not to be the sim card, calk back and ask them to pass you on to the next level of support.

I agree, the person I spoke with last Sunday elevated me to a next level tech who was still unable to figure it out. After trying a new sim card which still didn't work, I did a data reset from settings. It fixed the problem, and I still had root
fix
go into Apps manager go to all and find, [MmsService] in there you will find how to turn it back on had the same problem.

Thanks I'll keep that in mind!
I have a rooted Verizon Note 2 that I had put the last N3BULA ROM on and used with an AT&T sim card. It has worked fine for a couple of years now. Wanted to update it so I have flashed just about every available updated ROM I can find to get either Lollipop or Marshmallow. Every ROM I have tried has the same problems. Everything seems to work with the AT&T APN settings except the Phone itself. When I place a call it does call out but once I'm finished it won't hang up. I have to shut the phone off to get it to hang up. Also, if I call the phone it will not ring and the call will eventually go to voicemail. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? I was going to try to put the N3BULA ROM back on it but can't find a good version that will work. I'd really like to get it going with a newer rom tho.
Thanks for any help.
