I'm coming from the sensation.. and so far, the Amaze has been great. The speeds are great and the build quality is second to none..
The only issues that are actually bugging me enough to mention have to do with two google apps. First, w/ google voice.. has anyone been able to successfully configure it to work as the default voice mail service? I can't seem to get it to switch over from the default phone voice mail service... any ideas?
Also, with google talk, I can't get the video chats to work. When I connect with a contact, it does the ringing thing and then goes to a black screen and people say they cannot see me. Again, any help?
Thanks in advance.
I don't use talk, but voice works fine for me. The auto setup won't work, but your call forwarding should already be set up as that is network specific on T-Mobile.
Could you specify what exactly google voice is not doing? "Not working" is pretty broad.
I am having the same problem. Seems to work for a while and then goes back to tmobiles VM. I recently manually forwarded the calls so I'll do some testing hopefully it will stick. I called tmobile andbthey said it was forwarded to my gv voicemail but calls were still sometimes going to tmobiles

True. So to be more specific, under the call settings, when I try to switch the "voicemail service" setting from "my carrier" to "google voice," I get an error message that says...
"Failed to retrieve and save current
forwarding number settings.
Do you want to switch to the new
provider anyway?"
Then when I select yes, it then says...
"Forwarding number change
unsuccessful.
Please contact your carrier if this
problem persists."
Has anyone else experienced this? This is the first device among g1, mytouch4g, mytouch4g slide, and sensation that was done this.
Thanks.

Me too. But my settings were maintained from my previous device.
Perhaps try going to a different device, go back to carrier settings, go back to Amaze then try changing your settings and see if that works. I've been meaning to give it a try but haven't had the time.

I had it all set up with my last Android device.
I upgraded to Amaze.
I couldn't use the voicemail provider because I had errors but my voicemail was still setup with GV.
Basically the only thing that the 'switch voice mail provider' does is change the call forwarding on your device. The error you're getting, I got as well, but my call forwarding settings were set up before I switched to my amaze. You have a few options.
The first is to go into your Google voice account on the web, and go into settings and then click Voice settings. you'll see your devices and next to them there's a link to activate. It will give you the codes to dial manually based on your carrier to set up call forwarding.
And as a last resort, if you have T-Mobile you can always call customer care and they can change your conditional call forwarding settings so that when the call meets a condition (no answer, out of area, busy) that it will forward to VM. I'd assume other carriers have similar abilities, but none that I can speak with any experience.
Thanks for all the help, everyone. I think I got it figured out.
Now how about the Google talk video chat issues.. anyone else having issues with it?
Google Talk video chat not working for me either. Pretty annoying after paying a lot of money for this phone.
I had to sign out of Google voice on my old device first. Then setup Google voice on the amaze, and this got rid of the error for me.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
same issue
Signing out of voice on my old device won't work becase it was stolen. Are there any other work arounds?
Same here gchat is not working for me. Its sucks
Google video chat is like face time for tmobile it won't allow you to see anything unless your over WiFi

I set up call forwarding on my Note 4 using the Gear app and I looks like its set up on the GEAR S. When I'm out of range of my phone and someone calls, I get the message "failed to forward call messages - click OK the try again" Never connects? Any ideas?

Update... I checked to see if call forwarding was a feature on my plan - it was enabled and active. Went to the phone app - setting - call - more settings - call forwarding - selected forward when unanswered and entered the number to forward to - get an error message saying "Error Unexpected response from network" Any ideas?

Bump. Same issue here too and no resolution know yet.
Questions
What network is your phone on and what network is your watch on?
Did you try forwarding somewhere else, like to a landline number or a Google Voice number so you can see whether it is the watch that it refuses to forward to?

For me the problem is with my cell carriers (Canada). They do not support any conditional forwarding, nor can I call forward if I have v-mail on my Note 4? Not sure why we can't have v-mail and conditional forwarding?

T-Mobile doesnt support the conditional call forwarding either ... hopefully they start supporting it soon...
May have figured it out
Hey folks... I was having the same "Call forwarding failed" message, so I played around with it a little and may have figured it out. Seems it doesn't like it when your phone has Call over WiFi enabled and preferred. I left call over wifi on and switched to "Prefer cellular network and only use wifi if network is unavailable" and it started working again. I've got a Samsung Galaxy S5 and I'm on Tmobile's network in Hawaii.
Lemme know if this helped!

bro you dont even know man. 5 freaking hours and none of them know this fix. i depend on wifi calling so i had it set my way. u are great.
Try this !!!
On your Gear S go to :
Settings - Connections - Mobile Networks - Access Point Names - Internet Connection - New APN...thats is...just call your network operator and ask what to fulfil for APN ....simple as that !!!!
Since receiving my Redmi Note 3, I've been very happy with the phone and software, however I have not been able to receive multimedia messages, is this due to alternate APN settings?, I'm on Australia Woolworths network 4G telstra.
However these settings are default normal telstra, would this be the reason or is it something else? Cheers
Today I was trying to download a MMS but wasn't able to. I modify APN but still nothing.
Then I had the brilliant idea to change the setting to "Prefer 3G" and it worked. Downloaded the MMS without a problem.

Maybe a bug. But you don't have to keep the 3G. You just have to change to 3G to download the MMS and change back to 4G after that.
I'm with Aldi Mobile, and I can't send MMS, despite configuring the settings they provide on their website. Are you guys able to send MMS at all? I've tried both 4G and 3G, but no luck. I'm running the latest stable global ROM.
Oh, and I'm afraid I don't know if I can receive MMS sorry....
Edit: OK, I can send and receive via the Xiaomi built-in Messaging app (with 4G). Google Messenger will not send MMS, but don't know about receiving.

You have to get the message center address/number from ur provider it will b 11 digits with a plus sing. Then plug it in under settings in msg app.

Sorry peteski, I haven't had any luck with this. Even though I don't like it much, the built-in app does the job so that's what I've been using. If I ever get it working I'll make another post.

Hi Megafluffles, I've got the same phone, same carrier, but even with the Mi Message option on I can't send MMS. Did you ever find out how to get the stock messaging app up and running?
Ta, Nic
Sorry for the necroposting, I hope this info helps someone. For some reason it's very hard to come by.
On my Redmi Pro it looks like this: Settings -> SIM and mobile networks, but not APN settings! Instead, somewhere at the very bottom there is an option to "Always receive MMS (even if mobile internet is turned off)". Switch it on, and voila! The MMS service is working. When you turn it off, even if the APN settings are correct and your 3G-4G network is working perfectly, your MMS "can't be sent at the moment". Good luck trying it out!
I'm using the latest stable MIUI global and the default messaging app, nothing fancy.
I am not able to send messages through my Airtel sim on poco f1, though Jio is working fine.
I can check the smsc number is incorrect, it is +7 but whether I try to update it, update error comes up. please help if someone faced this issue before.

I'm facing the same issue. 3-4messages are going good but after that I'm unable to send any messages. Unless or untill I restart my device.

I faced the same issue with my airtel sim.. i wasn't able to send any message , but i was receiving messages and the smsc number was incorrect (+7) and couldn't be updated..
This issue is due to the sim card...
Go to the airtel store and ask them to give you a new sim ( your number remains the same).... they charged me Rs.25...
The new sim activates within 3 hrs...
But still you wont be able to send messages for next 2-3 days after activation..
Once you get a message from airtel stating the change of sim ..you will be able to send and receive messages....
Yes, the problem was with the sim not device. Got the new sim, able to send messages. No issues

You probably have an incorrect number saved in the SMSC setting.
To change this, go through the following steps:
1. Google the SMSC number for your particular service provider and state. Ex: "SMSC number for Airtel Karnataka".
2. Now, Go to settings > System apps > Messaging > Additional settings > Short message service center
In the pop up that appears, enter the number that you found as part of step 1. Make sure you prefix the number by +91.
3. Click OK after entering the number.
Once you perform this step, you'll lose the network connection momentarily, after which it'll be restored.
You should now be able to send messages from your Poco phone.
Note: This solution only works if you're not able to send messages from your number, but are able to receive messages.
If you got a new Airtel SIM for your Poco phone, allow 24 hours for messaging services to be unblocked. Airtel blocks messaging services on new SIMs to avoid SIM swap scams.
Hi good people of XDA, Iam facing a serious issue in the Contacts app of my new Google Pixel 6.
When I call somebody and they answer their phone, the call shows as "Private number" in the Recents tab.
If they do not answer, then the contact name is shown normally, as it should.
Take a look at the screenshot here: https://postimg.cc/jL1yT1NX
All items shown as "Private" are calls that I made and they answered.
I've searched online, but i didn't find anything related to this issue. Am i he only one who is facing it?
Any insights could help a lot.

Looks like your carrier is blocking caller ID on outgoing calls or you somehow enabled it on your own. I know with Verizon I can block my number on all calls or on a case by case basis.

Caller ID is not blocked. The person that receives the call is seeing my number.

Oh I get it now. That's an odd one, I can't seem to find a setting where that would change things.
Maybe an app you have is messing things up. Have you tried making a call while in safe mode?

Explain safe mode please.
When you are on the the Emergency, Lockdown, Power Off... Etc screen, long press on Power Off. It will give you an option to reboot into Safe Mode.
Safe mode disables all of the apps you installed so you can see if it's an app causing the issue.
Just reboot again to get out of safe mode.
Go to settings > apps > all apps, tap on the 3 dots (upper right) and 'Show system' apps. Then try clearing cache and data for:
- dialer (phone app)
- phone storage
- contacts app
- contacts storage
Then reboot.
Not sure if that will help, but does not do any harm, it will resync all your contacs.
Hi all,
Thank you for your replies. I tried both suggestions.
I rebooted in safe mode and tried calling my wife.
The problem persisted.
I tried clearing data and cache for the apps suggested and rebooting the phone.
The problem persisted.
The strange thing while I am calling the phone of the contact is shown in the dialer. As soon as the person I am calling answers the phone their name is replaced and the dialer app shows "Private number" instead.
I am really confused!

I'm intrigued. Which carrier? Do you have wifi calling you can try out?
Maybe something in permissions manager?
Hello! We have the same problem. On my wife's phone (Pixel 6), the phone writes private number for outgoing calls. There is no problem with incoming calls. Like Gonik, I tried everything, but nothing helped.
We live in Hungary and our mobile service provider is Telekom.
Carrier: Cablenet
Wifi calling: not supported
My next step is to try a sim card from a different carrier.

Yes, it would be nice to fix it because the error is pretty frustrating. And on top of that, she got the phone from me as a gift.
Omg, I am not alone. So I bought unlocked phone in USA, and I am using it in Serbia (Europe) on mts network. ChrYslerHUN is in neighboring Hungary, so it could be related to usa/europe differences and European carriers.
But still, I have never seen anything like that, and it is quite frustrating. What does outgoing calls have to do with carriers. Your phone. should know which numbers you dialed, right.

I'm having the exact same issue. Not only me, my wife also has a Pixel 6 and is experiencing the same problem. I've searched in Google but only found a couple of posts in Reddit and this one. Has anyone found a solution for this? It's kind of annoying. I'm from Spain.
Happy New Year to Everyone!
In the meantime, I installed another dialer application that can also record calls, so the problem is partially resolved, as it shows the called party properly during recordings. Regardless, it would even be nice to have an official fix for the bug.
The dialer application name is: ACR Phone
ACR Phone - Apps on Google Play
Privacy respecting phone dialer app with SIP and call recording support
