how do i get rid of it, everytime i restart the phone, it comes back...its pissing me offfff LMAOOO HAHA....please anyone...help meeee
Did you ever figure this out?
I'm having this problem too since the latest rom upgrade. Seen a few others with the same problem after upgrading as well. I'm using ATT US X1a rom1.03.948.8.
I've tried a hard reset, swapping the sim out (as mentioned in another thread), using forwarding cancel codes (##62#), and obviously the normal call forwarding settings on the phone. It clears up the problem for a few soft resets, then it comes right back again.
call forwarding..
you seem to have call forwarding turned on.
Phone - Menu - Settings - services - call forwarding - get settings
there you will have all these type of settings like forward to number with no answer and also forward all calls.. just uncheck them all i guess.
Thanks

In NAM on AT&T, call forwarding is always turned on for something. Normally, it's turned on only for no answer and unreachable.
The phone should not show the call forwarding icon when these are the only services activated.
I don't understand how or why it happens, but I will occasionally get the call forward icon showing when I have nothing special turned on.
It will eventually go away, usually after I've had to power the device for some reason. Note, however, that it will not necessarily go away if I power the device to the specific purpose of removing the call forwarding icon.
I've never figured out what makes it show or why it goes away.
Lucky for me, I'm not too troubled by it.
Hmm
I think this problem is carrier related, (carriers have control over your call forwarding) because I have had this problem on many different phones from different manufacturers over the years. Not on my Xperia yet though.
Thanks for the replies. As stated in the earlier post, I have already tried unchecking, rechecking etc. As soon as it connects to the network it goes away. It seems to be an issue with the newest rom though as the previous rom does not have this issue at all (for me at least).
Call forwarding is definitely on the carrier side, but as soon as the phone connects to the network to pull call forward settings, it will always change the icon to the correct status (ie icon is there when forward all calls is on and not when it's not), which tells me that it's probably an issue with the rom, not the carrier. You're right about the settings George, but unfortunately I do use call forwarding from time to time and need to know when its truly on or off .
I've tried tweaking the cf values in the registry as well at hklm\software\htc\phone without any luck.
The call forwarding icon is also showing on my X1 I am on Orange UK.
I guess it can't be fixed.
Guys in US with AT&T.
I've got this issue that might be stupid but I suffer from it really bad. Everytime I get a new voice message, a text comes in with weired notes (which I know is for the phone to notify me) but I have to delete the sucker everytime. Or everytime I am in the voice box, it sends me another txt for deletion/
How can I get rid of this?
Do you guys have a good visual voice message system installed?
AT&T doesn't support any other phones except what they sell. AHhh
Thank you all.
Oddly enough my problem went away. I still think it's a ROM issue. I was playing with some other roms and eventually ended up flashing back to NAM R2AA008 (1.03.948.8). Restored my old config with full SPB backup and I haven't had the problem since.
I'm guessing that "if" it was a settings issue, the backup would've just recreated the issue. Plus hard resets didn't make the problem go away either. I even tried changing to a new sim as some people tried in other posts. But completely reflashing the rom seems to have done the trick for me at least.
The only difference that I can see is that I did the first update through SEUS. All the other flashes were done the old fashioned way. Not saying this would work for others, but it's been gone for weeks now for me.
Solution
Dial ##21# on the X1.
The "Call Forwarding" icon will disappear on the top bar of your X1. But, it won't affect your call fwd settings in the operator's mobile system.
P.S. I mean it won't change the call fwd settings defined by operator in the mobile system, e.g. no answer and the call will be directed to voice mail system.
##21# is the function code to cancel call fwd setup by your phone. If you did setup some call fwd scenarios on your phone, the call fwd icon will be displayed as an indicator for call forward is active.
For the purpose of just get rid of the icon right after power on or soft reset the phone, I think it is a simple solution.

I think most of the people having this problem on the thread are referring to a strange bug that seems to be affecting a small percentage of users. I've seen the same problem posted on a few other sites/threads as well. It doesn't really have to do with call forwarding being on at all, it's just that the icon is there. Using the forward codes or forcing an update will make it go away temporarily, but for me it kept eventually coming back no matter what I did. When my phone had the problem, I tried 21, 69, 67, 61. None of them made the issue go away permanently.
My X1 has this kind of problem as well. It is the problem from X1 itself, maybe the X1 can not log into the 2G or 3G network very well.

Whoa. LOL... I haven't seen this since the old Synergy Motorola days when we were all fascinated with foreign firmware.
I do not have this issue with the generic NAM or generic UK ROM in their latest iterations.
I guess the first thing anybody would normally suggest is to make sure you're on one of these ROM.

This is a carrier related issues. Some carrier has 2G and 3G network that if the area is not covered by 3G network, Internal using forward to their own 2G network in order to let the phone work. It happen not just on the X1, It happen on all other WM base phone I have before. However, if your carrier has only a single network whether it is 2G or 3G. This forward logo will go away. Good example. the 3 mobile Network in Hong Kong has 2G and 3G separate and on my X1, which use the 3 mobile has the forward logo all the time but on my Touch HD, I use the Smartone network which have a combine 2G and 3G network and you never see the forward logo.
Just so you know, same problem here.
The solution? I heop someone makes a pretty version for the "Call forwarding" icon haha.
With the help of Bxsteez I have fixed this issue with the R2 rom always doing this...

Since the last firmware update, I have the same icon showing up.
But there is a cure at least for US AT&T.........
Like it has been said before go to phone setting
Select Call Forwarding and hit the get setting button...
Once it retrieves the setting from AT&T net, the icon goes Bye-Bye!!
I have to do this every hard-reset or complete power down...
This what works for me...

Same here for T-mobile
Same problem on my X1 and I am using HK 3 network..
I am wondering if anybody else is having the same problem.
I am on Rogers and one out of 20-30 incoming calls does not go through. No matter if it made from a land line or Rogers network. It goes to my voicemail (more often) or sometimes it gives 'number not in service' error. I tried my SIM card on Nokia phone and I could not reproduce the problem. Rogers sent me a replacement phone but it has exactly same problem.
I did not realize I had this problem until someone complaind and I did a test. Do you want to try making 50 calls to your phone and see if every one gives you a ring?
Any info/help would be appreciated.
Update: I tested in a different location and I received every single call. It is probably a network related issue.
I am facing this terrible problem as when I call someone on my lg g2 F320L it keep dialling and then some time says network busy or sometime it just disconnect calling. Sometime it connect to call on 1st dialling attempt but when other person pick it up call he/she can't hear me or sometime says your voice is breaking and this happening on every call I made or receive.
I notice my signal of network is full but as soon as I pick incoming or make out going call it start dropping signals.
Also I am facing issue with USSD code. when I dial *444# to check pre paid balance I get "connection problem or invalid code".
As you can see below screen shot that network signals are full but i am getting error. I have check same SIM in other phone and every thing working fine.
Anyone have any idea why I am getting all these problems. How to fix.
no one have any idea about the problem ?
I've scoured the internet for 6 months checking back every month to see if there was a fix for this.
When I got my Canadian W8 variant of the s7 edge on Rogers, Call forwarding was working.
Then I rooted my device so I can use Root call blocker for its ability to pick up and hang up calls without my knowing the blocked number ever even called.
I then tried to setup YouMail for visual voicemail and keep getting mmi code errors. If I try activating it manually by going into the call setting, I get "Failed to read data, Unexpected response from network".
I attributed this error to Rogers not having call forwarding on my account. But I'm paying for it, and since I'm on family play with parents, and tested both their devices, one is an Galaxy s5 neo and the other is an iphone of some sort and both work.
What is causing this issue?
Is it because KNOX was tripped? I've tried flashing clean no root, and still same errors.
Did rooting my phone break Call Forwarding?
Did anyone else have this issue and find a fix or workaround?
I need to forward calls I ignore to YouMail.
Once again, I've gone through all the so called "fixes" in the first 3 pages of google searching. All of which are the same articles on different sites.
Thanks.
I have been going through a weird issue on Total Wireless. When I use Android 6.0.1 and below, I have no issues with my service at all, everything works as it should. The issue comes into play when I use any Android 7.0 ROM, be it official or custom. Outgoing calls/4G data are fine, but I cannot receive any phone calls or send/receive texts. The only way for me to be able to receive calls and send/receive texts is to dial out once. After this, everything works as it should, that is until I reboot. Then I it goes back to the partial working state until I dial out again.
The issue persists whether I am using CDMA/LTE or Global Network modes. I have tried every single possible combination of starting with a fully working 6.0.1 firmware and upgrading through Smartswitch, with and without a full Wipe performed afterwards, doing a full 7.0 firmware flash. The issue is always present, and I am not sure if TW has issues with Android 7.0 or if there is a problem with my account. Their CS is absolutely useless in helping me with the issue, and our chats always end with if I can make a phone call, then the issue is resolved. They don't understand that the issue is still present, but it only crops up after a reboot of my device.
I have tried 3 different SIM cards and they have deleted and re-added/reprovisioned my device/number to their system but nothing seems to help this issue. APN is the usual TRACFONE.VZWENTP. It's really weird that it happens on two separate devices that I activate with my mobile number.
My only thought as to what it could be is maybe some weird provisioning error with the number coming from Verizon. Total Wireless doesn't have any type of VOLTE capabilities on their network, yet I was able to use a rooted Note 4 device and activate Advanced Calling/HD Voice and I believe Wifi calling as well and use it fine on their service. One oddity I noticed is that when the phone is in the initial 'Searching for Service' state on a fresh boot when I dial out while connected to Wifi, sometimes I will see Mobile Network Type change to IWLAN, whereas it usually says LTE. After dialing everything works correctly.
Any ideas on further troubleshooting steps I can take? If nothing can be done, maybe there is some way I can have a boot up script that makes a ghost phone call to any random number and immediately disconnects so I don't have to remember to dial out whenever I reboot my device?
Thanks
I don't have a solution yet, but you're not alone. I have a stock G935V (running Nougat) with Tracfone service running over Verizon's network. Whenever I start up the phone, the phone will indefinitely remain in a "Searching for Service" status until I initiate one phone call. Then the network instantly switches to "Verizon Wireless" and everything works correctly for as long as the phone remains on.
A long phone call with Tracfone and Verizon yielded no solution: They indicated everything is configured correctly in my account. Various replacement SIM cards didn't change anything either.
This issue happens with both stock Samsung S6 phones and the Samsung S7 phone in my household. All are running Nougat.
Any update here? My girlfriend's phone has the same issue since moving from Verizon to StraightTalk.

Tracfone tried, half-heartedly, to solve the problem by sending me 3 different sim cards. The problem never went away. I just got in the habit of initiating a call to voicemail whenever I restarted my phone.
The problem went away when I upgraded my S7 Edge to Android v8 Oreo.
I have flashed the Nougat "U" firmware on my Verizon S7 Edge. I had VoLTE, hotspot, HD voice when calling someone on Verizon (but the HD symbol doesn't show on my dialer, only on theirs).
Only issue was that. when I introduced the TW SIM, the APN was auto set for Tracfone (and it wasn't working), so I had to manually change it to the TotalWireless one.
Since then I had received the Oreo upgrade and the following security update... and it's still OK.
