[Q] Voicemail setup (3 as provider) - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have a little problem. Normally I should be able to just hold the "1 button" in the dialer and it should call the voicemail number stored on the simcard, but instead it says that the number is not setup and that I should configure it in settings. I then press settings and try to put in the voicemailnumber, but then I get an error that it couldn't be said and that I should contact my provider if the error persists.
I have called my provider but it hasn't helped much (they tried taking reassociate my voicemail from their side, they got me to change simcard and reset the phone, but still no solution)
So there are 2 problems:
Nexus4 is not reading the voicemailnumber stored on the simcard
and
I cannot manually set the voicemailnumber
This is on stock android 4.2.1 and the number is ported from a normal sim to a micro sim(and I know am running on another micro sim the said I should try)
Does anyone know what is failing and what I can tell my provider to get this fixed. I know it is minor annoyance and I am just calling voicemail from my contacts instead.
Best Regards
Hasse

Do you have google voice app installed on your phone? If you do try removing and then try adding the number,.

Thanks for the suggestions. The apn settings is correct - so they must have been read correctly from the simcard
I don't have Google voice installed(seems I cannot even get it in danish play store)
The problem also exists after doing a factory reset and 3/three has also replaced my simcard, but I still cannot set my voicemail number (in the settings of the dialer). So I'm thinking that 3/three in Denmark maybe are doing something wrong with the simcards? I will try later to put it into another phone and see how that work

G1 on ATT network - SMS not sent (SOLVED)

I purchased a G1 from craigslist. Turned out it was an ADP device. I updated the recovery image, updated to Haykuro SPL, and Cyanogen ROM.
Everything worked except that SMS messages would not send... (I didn't try MMS messages).
I checked and double checked everything. ON another forum I found advice to acquire access to some Phone Info settings using "ANYCUT" - a free app.
Create a shortcut to your desktop using ANYCUT: Shortcuts>Activity>Phone info.
The above suggestion stated to use the above shortcut to turn off - then, back on - the phone's radio. That did not work for me. Also, in that shortcut was a space for a SMSC - whatever that was.
I called ATT and spoke to a knowledgeable associate who asked if my SMSC had been set and what was my number. I remembered seeing the SMSC setting in the above shortcut. I was provided with the ATT SMSC number for an HTC device for my area as "+13123149810" I used the above shortcut to enter the number and selected "update"
This solved my problem.
If you have similar problem I would suggest attempting the above. Call your provider and ask for the correct SMSC and enter it in using the above method.
I observed several posts on various forums where persons where told to go get a new sim card. I don't know if that would work or not. But, it was not necessary in my case.
Thank you for the post!
This worked for me.
My ulocked G1 was working fine with Cyanogen 4.0.4. I upgraded to 4.2.1 and lost my ability to send and receive SMS messages.
I followed your instructions, but for some reason I lost my 3g when I opened the Phone Info via the AnyCut link. I changed to GSM only and got Edge, at least. Guess I need to play with it more.
Anyway, I'm on the STC aljawal network here in Saudi Arabia. (Jawalnet) using an unlocked G1 and sending and receiving SMS messages again. Yay!
If there happens to be anyone else having SMS issues, the number on the STC website is +966505031999
I think this is the SMSC number, because when I put it in the SMSC box on the Phone Info I was able to send SMS messages again.

Cannot dial voicemail under ICS

Hardware is I9020A.
I simply cannot understand how this is possible. I mean, I can usually access my voicemail by dialing my phone number.
Works fine in GB. ICS is a no-go. Even if I manually dial it. I can see it connecting ( the call timer starts ), heck, I can even delete my messages ( I can't here anything, but dialing 7 deletes em, and my VM icon disappears. )
Nothing comes to mind as to what can be the source of this problem...
Any suggestions ?
Thanks for the help.
edit : ANY version of ICS gives me the same problem. Kernel the same.
Hold down #1 in the dialer it'll dial your voicemail automatically

Go into the dialer and in the settings and change the standard star 86 to your own number then try dialing Voicemail using the 1 key, hopefully that works!

Yep, this is what I do and it works fine.
No luck.
My phone # is already set. Again, even if I dial it manually, I get **nothing**. I can see the timer rolling ( meaning the line is connected and something/someone answered ) but no sound whatsoever from the headphone.
This one has me stumped.
Are you sure your voicemail is working? Have you tried calling your number from another phone and accessing your voicemail that method?

Solved my problem.
I've always been using the XXKB3 radio on my i9020A . Always worked like a charm.
I flashed the UCKE1 radio, and got my voicemail going.
I also ran into this problem and was loosing my $#!t trying to get it to work and tried your solution and am glad to report, this has also fixed my voicemail problem

I'm having the same problem, could you guys explain how you flashed the UCKE1 radio? I'm a bit of a noob.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Ignore my problem. I simply had the wrong number entered in the voicemail settings.
Whenever I flash a new rom (ics) same thing happens to me(flashing new rom changes voicemail number automatically to *86). I just go to voice mail settings and change the voicemail number to my phone number and it works.
Hope this helps

Strange problem on flashing to Boost Mobile. Good internet but no voice.

Hi everyone. I purchased a sanyo incognito phone, successfully activated it and followed a guide i found here on how to pfash evo to Boost Mobile. I followed all steps without any problem. Did a copy o all correct nv items, copy of nam from donor phone to evo. I successfully zeroed all location (flashed to RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.29.651.5_Radio_2.15.00.09.01_NV_1.77_CNV_release_150224_signed and then unrevoked3), did restart and found at ##786# all zeroes in mein and esn. Then successfully write donor MEID (esn was generated correctly and writed by itself). Then i put HA and AAA passwords into the phone.
What i've got now - is fully working internet with 3g (i'm not sure, but speed sems to be pretty fast), however voice and text messaging are not working. Text messaging showing error code 97 class 2, and when I'm trying to call someone i got a srange message from operator (i believe from sprint) - i attached it.
The only thing happen strange to me - when i tried to write all aaa and ha passwords with 0 profile in QPST Service Programming andter flashing it whowes me an error something like ESN has been changed or something.. However i found this on google and somebody wrote that i shouldn't worry about that - all information was written successfully.
In settings about the phone i see next information:
MEID: donors meid
Phone number: correct phone number as on the donor
IMSI: some numbers?
current username: boost mobile user name
prl 60683'baseband 2.15.00.01.01
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be gratefully appreciated! I just don't know what to do - i didn't find similar problem on the whole internet! Maybe i was looking wrong?
Thanks for everyone in advance.
and here what I've got in QXDM after writing correct meid into the EVO - check attached picture
should DIAG TX items be zeroes?

Have you done a factory reset, and re-input the ha aaa passwords. And all other info in service programming? Had to do it with two phones cause i counldnt receive incoming calls or texts. After a factory reset. Then the fresh write, all worked. I cancelled the ota but let it kick in after final reboot. Might be worth a try.

If Sprint is saying Error Code 16 Switch number whatever and is calling a representative. Your EVO has been flagged. You'll need to let the call go thru answer their identity questions about your Boost account and they will clear it. I just did it 2 days ago. NOTHING else will clear the code 16, ONLY a Sprint Security Specialist can clear it. After they reset your Boost account the voice will work.
Hooray! I did it! It works now! Thank you everyone, and especially Dean_L. Next time when i called any number the system transfered to a representative who asked me a few questions about my account and then reset it for me. Now the phone calling is working. However text message still not working. Trying to resolve that problem now. Thanks again
Fixed problem with text messaging by calling customer service. They asked me what is the phone I'm using and i said Incognito - lie, but it worked!
The only thing left - is the MMS messages. I can recieve them, but can't send! Running miui latest rom. I changed MMS apn http://mm.myboostmobile.com (through voice dialer "Open A P N"), but no luck. Is any suggestions on this? Thanks.
Finally i found the fix. It's already been here, but i will post it again. The way to send MMS is to install Go SMS Pro from the market (it's free) and change in settings different mmsc address. The "Open A P N" method is not working. Or i installed SexynSmooth rom, which is sense rom and change mmsc by dialing ##DATA# - and it worked great for me. ANd exen long text messages works too (on miui they not working, unless you install gosmspro and change settings in it to manually partition them).
I love MIUI rom - so far it's the best one, but i don't want to use those forsk like installing different apps and not gonna be able to send long text messages. Hope they will change it in future versions and will app manual mmsc to their application.

[Q] [G900FD] - Google Now wrong SIM selection

Hi,
is there an option to force set the default SIM for texting/SMS ?
I'm using stock ROM - 5.0 (Russian) and stock messaging app.
When I'm using Google Now and saying to send text sometimes it tries to send it through SIM2 instead of SIM1.
In the SIM Manager I've got everything set to SIM1 but that seems to not be enough.
Any ideas welcome.
Cheers
This is a known issue, check the message centre no. set it correctly, sometimes it on its own sets the same for both the sims.

Thanks for the answer,
I've checked the message center and numbers are correct - SIM1 and SIM2 have their own numbers (which are OK)
this issue is really annoying .. it works OK for few times (sends text from SIM1) and one of a sudden tries sending text from SIM2... (which btw fails - luckily because that's the SIM from different country and it'd charge me more )

[SM-G935FD] [Dual-SIM] Contacts Sim1 or Sim2?

anyone know if there is any way to assign a contact to use a particular Sim with out switching using the Sim manager, when yo dial a number you get the option to select the Sim to use but the contact seem to only use the selected Sim ATM i hang up and you can the redial and select the Sim ( i have my home Sim and works Sim in the phone )
I have tried Samsung but the are unhelpful as i am using the phone in the UK and its not supported in this region,
If anyone in a region where the dual Sim version is supported has 5 mins to chat to samsung via there web chat can ask the question if there is any way to set a contact to dial using sim1 and another contact to use sim2 the ask them to request the feature be added via there dev team it may get added or i may just have to go back to LG as they have better call control..
thanks in advance

Hi,
I also have a G935FD and indeed, you're right I haven't found anything to be able to choose from which sim card you want to call when calling via contacts. It works only when you dial from the touchpad...
Complaining at Samsung might help to implement that process in the upcoming updates.

Just found a new option that will allow you to select "Always Ask" its not perfect but it helps

This is exactly what I found bit annoying, you couldn't set preference per number as which SIM to use out of the box (by not using any app.. just plain OS based solution), I couldn't find any. Tried asking on this & other forums. http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/sgs7-changes-marshmallow-t3353208
On the play store, found couple of paid apps that were doing the job, but one of them was not working on v6.0.1 (app creator was still in process of upgrading app to work on MM v6.0.1), another app gives you 7 days of free usage but costed £5 after that. I also tried to create a solution using Tasker, but it required a plugin which was first app that I mentioned was still under upgrade.
Frustrated with these problems, I decided to take control myself & now I'm in the process of developing an app that will exactly address the number-SIM preference. I found that Android has exposed a multi SIM API in version 5.1, but it's so poorly documented that I got really really angry about lack of information. Somehow I managed to build a workable copy of app. In this app you can specify rules based on Regular Expression number matching as which SIM to use if the dialed number matches regular expression specified. There is also an auto learning feature, where it will remember SIM for a number to dial.
As I said, I'm still in the process of developing this app, it's not professionally perfect but definitely does the job for now.. (It takes lot of time as I'm not an app developer & devoting time is a problem ), there are many features I want to implement in this app, but let's see when I find time. It's working perfectly on my S7E dual sim (I can't guarantee that it will work on any other device - although it should as app is built using androind 5.1 API -- I haven't tested on any other device).
If you need a copy of APK, do PM me & I'll send you one.. I've also posted same message here.
i will be interested to see the final version, ask always is working as a temporary fix.
preferred sim not working
for me if i click on a contact to call someone then it asks call from sim1 or sim 2 but i already chooses sim2 as preference. if i use swipe it is going from sim 2.
