Rooted Oreo Stock
I recently moved to a very rural area where signal is spotty, at best. Driving down the road, I'll start getting Call Services Voice Service and Data Service notifications constantly.
I've tried Settings>Apps>Notifications>Show System. I've set Network Alerts, Network Available, and Network Status to Low: No sound or visual interruption. I'm still getting these notifications.
Anything else I can do? I've been able to turn it off on my older phones.

Is there anyone who is working on using a app to make all sms messages and data while on Wifi at home or work. I live in a town with not so great signal so im always on wifi but i still need signal to send and recieve messages calls.
I was wondering if it was possible to do this with a app or mod the rom to function this way.
That way i may also end the Radio Interference Shortage i see all to much do to from what i can figure is the phone bouncing on and off sprints network to roaming so often. ( seems to be worse on wifi.)
If you use the Google voice integration, it only sends over data connection.
Thanks for the info i just was reading about that. But looks like the only option.

personally, i have been using google voice for two years now and it was worked very well. when i have low cell signal but have good wifi or 4g, i open up the app and text.
if i have low wifi/4g signal but good cell signal, i text from the built in message app using SMS.
as a possible alternative, i've seen a new app being promoted, DeskSMS, from koush (ROM Manager developer). i haven't used it personally, but the main idea is to congregate all your text messages into one location so you can access from all devices. if you want to research more on DeskSMS, there is a lifehacker article reviewing it, here is a lifehacker article on it and the android market page.
edit: an airave is definitely a decent alternative if you're on sprint and need better service on one specific location. the OP posted his whole town has signal issues both at his work and at home and specifically questioned any apps be available to help handle better sms communication. an airave could solve your signal issues at home and at work, but is location dependent. i was able to get an airave from sprint for my home location at no charge due to our long tenure as a sprint customer.
hope that helps!
sounds like you may want to look into getting an airave, its a device that you hook up to your home internet that broadcasts service up to 1000ft from the unit..
Kind of like a wifi router but for EVDO
For the last couple of weeks, I've been going in and out of roam in my office on my EVO 3D (which Sprint support has been useless for). Just got my EVO LTE yesterday and was hoping that it might have better signal strength, but alas I'm still in and out of roam. However, the problem is now with my EVOLTE, it always give audible notification whenever I go into roam, no matter what the settings. I've turned off all roaming notifications and have set the phone itself to both vibrate and silent, but still get the audible notifications. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?
I dont know what I did but I have the problem at my office- Signal is horrible and will roam at times and I dont hear anything like a roam notification.
EDIT: Go into Settings and click on Mobile Network. From there uncheck data roaming sound and click on roaming guards, make sure domestic voice and data are unchecked.
That should work!
Thanks for the response, but I've tried all that and still get the audible notification. I'll keep screwing with settings I guess.
ok so i tied my number to google voice because my phone doesn't get signal in 90% of my workplace (it has wifi though) and the cell signal by my house is pretty low so all calls sound like crap. so what i was hoping to do was be able to place calls and texts from my sprint number through google voice. if i go into the settings of the google voice app i set it so the google voice app gives me notifications when i receive texts and i am able to use it to text and receive texts as long as i have a data connection (wifi most of the time) now the problem with this is that if i don't have a cell signal and am connected to only wifi, calls dont come through at all like i would expect them to..
before i did the integration i was able to place calls over wifi but it would display my google voice number to the people i was calling but now that i did the integration i cant make or receive calls over wifi? if anyone knows how to enable that it would help a lot, if it can even be done that is...
on a side note, i experimented with it using my house phone and noticed that if i have no signal and am only on the wifi, the people who are calling me (in this case me calling my cell phone from my house) still hear a ringing tone and after about 30 seconds get my voicemail. so what the heck. you would think if its ringing that i would get calls over the wifi but apparently not...?
Install GrooveIP....works perfect.

*thanked*
Whenever I am in a basement with no cell signal for an extended period of time, even with wifi, I receive a "X new voicemails" notification that goes away as soon as I go back into clear signal. If I clear phone data, the notification goes away, but comes back just as quickly as if I ignore it. I already use a 3rd party voicemail service, YouMail, and turned that off temporarily to verify that my Verizon mailbox is in fact empty. Clearing phone data and switching VM providers were the only suggestions I could find from a decent bit of googling; does anyone know of a way to fix this problem directly, or if not if there is a way to disable voicemail notifications entirely? It's annoying having to put my phone in airplane mode every day so that it doesn't buzz and turn the screen on every 20 seconds.
Phone Info:
Galaxy S4 SCH-1545
Android: 4.4.2 (No Root)
Kernel 3.4.0
Carrier: Verizon
I'm having issues with voice calls on my Verizon Pixel 6. I live in a wooded area with not great 5G/LTE reception and rely heavily on WiFi calling as such. I had no issues with my P4xl. After upgrading to the P6, I am having constant issues when I receive or make a voice call to a friend or family member.
Their voice becomes echoed and incomprehensible. Sounds like you are talking to a robot.
The only workaround I've found so far is to disable the WiFi manually in the settings while you are on a call. Then I am on the network (either 5G or LTE) with not great reception - one bar.
I have a feeling it is an issue between the WiFi calling hand off and the network. I've tried adjusting the setting in the developer options turning off Mobile Data Always Active. No luck.
Also changed my WiFi preferences to Use Device MAC and that did not help either.
I'm concerned because if someone else needed to use my phone in an emergency, they would run the risk of not being able to make a clear and successful call.
Any help appreciated!
