I'm running Android FXR07.1 on my HTC TP2 on the ATT GSM network. I was toying with some ideas about how best to use Google Voice. I went into the GSM call settings page and then into Call Forwarding. I tried to set Always Forward to my google voice #. Instead of putting my number there, it only showed a block character. Not only is the forwarding not working, but also I cannot now unforward my calls. When I try to disable, I get this message:
Call settings error.
"Your carrier does not support disabling call-forwarding when your phone is unreachable"
Any ideas on how to get this issue fixed?
I don't really have a clean solution.
But if your phone is out of network due to a bug, why don't you just restart on Winmo to reverse the situation?
It should work, as the call forwarding is an operator setting, no matter where you want to forward.
Thanks for the suggestion. I was able to resolve this. I actually found something online that was a code to disable all call forwarding. I can't find it now, but I think it was ##0040#...or something very similar. It still did nothing. Then I booted to WinMo and couldn't even find a cal forwarding option. I booted into the FRX07 build that I also had on my SD card and it still showed forwarding there. But in FRX07 I was able to disable the settings properly. Once I did that, I booted back into FRX07.1 and it was properly disabled there too.
I recently decided to look into using YouMail. Basically, it forwards your unanswered calls to a mail box that is much more feature rich than the boring carrier voicemail. I have enabled call forwarding on my account, set up the call forward numbers, and my YouMail account is linked to my device. The only problem is that when I call my phone from Skype, I get a message saying something along the lines of "this voicemail inbox is not set up properly, please dial the number you are trying to reach in order to find the mailbox of the number you are calling".
As for the call forwarding options, there is the option of setting the voicemail number in the settings of the phone. I assume this is where I would enter the retrieval number and not the number to forward voicemail calls to. There is also the option to set where the calls are conditionally forwarded. This is where I assume I put the number where people actually leave voicemail, amirite?
Nevermind, it ended up being an OCN issue. I resolved it by getting YouMail Pro so I have my own personal voicemail number. Works great now!
So I've been trying to get to where I can turn on airplane mode, then flip WiFi on and still be able to receive calls. I'm not using T-Mobile (but have the M919), so the WiFi calling feature doesn't apply. I'm using SipDroid + Google Voice with a PBXes.org account. My problem is that when people call my cell number (which is forwarded to my GV number) with my mobile service turned off they get redirected to my Google Voicemail. If, on the other hand, someone calls my GV number, my phone rings and I can answer it with SipDroid; making outgoing calls via SipDroid also work flawlessly. I have unanswered and unreachable call forwarding activated to forward calls to my GV number but it's just not working as I expect it to. Any advice?

I used Groove IP for this and the way to get it to work correctly was, I believe, to make sure that GV's settings are forwarding calls on to Google Chat. It sounds like you already have that set, since you can get direct calls to your GV number, but you might want to make sure all the settings are correct on the GV side.
Anyone having an issue with call forwarding not being able to be set up? I use youmail for voicemail and today I went to set it up on my 5X, It couldn't forward the calls. When I went into the call settings to try to manually enter the code I get an error. It will not allow me to forward. Anyone else have this issue?
The exact message I get is:
"Call settings error
Unexpected response from network"
Opps meant to post this in Q&A. I reported to the mods to move
Bump on this.
Using a Nexus 5X trying to setup call forwarding, and I get the same error when configuring it from the phone application, and "Call Forwarding, Connection problem or invalid MMI code" when using the MMI code. Same thing happens when I try to configure it using a Nexus 6 running Marshmallow.
Tested fine on an AT&T branded HTC A9 running marshmallow though, so it seems to only affect the Vanilla flavor of the OS.
I had to call AT&T and have them manually do it but it's still not working correctly. If I dont answer the call it goes to my AT&T voicemail but if I reject the call it goes to youmail even though in call settings it's all set to youmail. I'm going to call AT&T tomorrow and try to figure it out.

I had the same issue. I had to call them and they made changes to the hd and standard voice call forwarding sections and that fixed it.

So after a call to them and mentioning this and telling them with no answer it was still going to my AT&T VM she checked and sure enough it wasn't provisioned correctly. Now everything works as it should
After reading this I called AT&T and passed on the information. She told me that I was provisioned correctly and entered my IMEI in their system. Still can't get HD Voice or Call Forwarding working. Any other tips that may help??

I had the same issue, even got my nano-sim swapped again. Turned out it was the HD Voice feature. N5X supports HDV, AT&T provisioned it correctly but this feature causes communication failure to AT&T network when try to change/update call forwarding. The ATT tech guy disabled HD Voice on my account, I can now change/update the forwarding numbers again. The fix might be temporary though, ATT regularly does network sweep and it might just automatically turn on HDV feature again when it detects your phone supports it. A permanent solution would be for Google to add an option to manually disable HDV on the phone in the next update.
Sorry for the 2-year old thread bump, but I have a relevant update...
It now appears that the stock dialer can properly provision the call forwarding settings on AT&T. Settings --> calls ---> call forwarding ---> update busy/unanswered/unreachable. I reached out to AT&T support after changing and they confirmed it was properly set on their end. Though, FWIW, I previously had AT&T set the forwarding settings, but had to pull the SIM to test an iPhone. It seems to have reset the forwarding settings, which is why I had to mess with this again in the first place...
For those of us that use Google voice, has anyone gotten it to work on this phone, i can't dial the *28 number to link it to my Google voice number, or get the integration to work either...
Google Voice integration is fine on mine. I didn't have to change anything coming from the Nexus 6.
Neither can I. I cant disable the visual voicemail app either.
I had a nexus 5 and upgraded to the LG G5, it did not break my google voice at all. I have my sprint number ported to google voice, so they are the same number.
I do all of my modifications and changes at voice.google.com from my computer, ive had the best luck that way
you have to go into wifi calling settings and disable wifi calling (phone may reboot). then you can set up GV and after that reenable it.
drove me nuts for several days before I figured out GV and wifi calling dont get along but worjs fine if you enable wifi calling AFTER setting up GV.
you'll see page in the wifi calling settings....at the very bottom there's a link to disable wifi calling.
there are more call forward on unanswered codes for sprint, Some of my lines allow *28, while others *73 works

How do I setup my Sprint Phone Connect so that my calls forward to another number?
Call Forwarding is a function of the Sprint Network. (For immediate call forwarding, calls will incur a per minute rate). To setup Call Forwarding, first pick up the handset and wait for a dial tone.
No Answer Call Forwarding (free on the Sprint Phone Connect Plan), dial *73. To disable this feature, dial *730.
Busy Call Forwarding (free on the Sprint Phone Connect Plan), dial *74 and then the number you want to forward the call to. To disable this feature, dial *740.
Busy or No Answer Call Forwarding (free on the Sprint Phone Connect Plan), dial *28 and then the number you want to forward calls to. To disable this feature, dial *38.
Immediate Call Forwarding (Not included in the Sprint Phone Connect plan, $0.20 per minute rate), dial *72 and then the number you want to forward your calls to. To disable this feature, dial *720.
Google voice works fine for me

Well thanks for the input, it did allow me to make the forwarding work with the *73, but everything's i use *28, i get a message staying the feature code is not available, not really sure if *73, and *28 are the same, but for now it seems to work...
*73 is NOT free. You will get charged for every call that goes to voice mail...I got the bill to prove it.
You need to disable wifi calling and then *28 will work. After setting your new voice mail number (for GV) you can re enable wifi calling. When I first tried to set up GV with *28 it didn't work....said something about an invalid feature. After disabling wifi calling *28 worked.

I've tried this, i cannot dial *28 at all, with wifi calling disabled it says the feature function is not available, and the same when wifi calling is on except it says can not make this call with wifi calling...

You probably turned it off, you didn't disable it. You have to disable at at the phone service provider level, not on your phone.
try this:
system settings -> wifi calling -> update registered location
scroll down to the very bottom and you will see a link that said "disable wifi calling". select that.
after a few moments your phone will do a PRL update and may reboot. after that, install the GV app.
there's different ways to set it up depending on how much GV integration you want. I just wanted voice mail so this is what I did:
open the GV app.
it will ask you if you want to do setup or "skip". select "skip".
It will then log into your google account and access GV. then it will ask you again if you want to set up (I think it also asks if you want to use GV for voice calls, I selected "no") again, select "skip". you will not get a notice that you need to dial *28[GV number] to set up VM forwarding. Do it - it should work now.
if it still doesn't work call Sprint customer service and ask them to disable wifi calling. The operator I spoke to was aware of the GV issue and knew immediately what i wanted.
After you get *28[GV number] working you'll get a triple dial tone and hang up instead of that "feature set unavailable" message. (there may be another PRL autoupdate...I can't remember) now you can go back to wifi calling and enable it.
I have two phones linked to the same GV account an LG G3 and an LG G5. both ring when I get a call. Both forward voice mails to the GV account when someone calls the phones and leaves a VM. Both work on wifi calling and I've successfully used wifi calling from hotels in other countries and got voice mails (and even texts to the GV number) through GV. The only odd thing is that MMS messaging to GV doesn't seem to work so I get texts, but no pictures.

Thank you for the advice, and you are correct at least with part of this, I wasn't disabling wifi calling service as you stated, just turning it off, however after following the method you described, i still received the "feature code you dialed..." when using *28... So i looked into it, and found that the only one that sprint charges for is *72; *28, *73, *74 are all valid forwarding options at no charge for standard plans. I am still only able to get *73 to work, and i'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with "my" wifi calling, as i still have it disabled now, and it has been disabled now for about 4 days, but ymmv... I am currently able to use google voice, so i guess its working, and the only difference between *28, and *73 is *28 forwards busy, or unanswered calls, while *73 only forwards unanswered calls, saying that, i'm pretty sure that my phone is actually very rarely busy (as i have someone on hold and i'm on the other line), and receive another phone call... But for me i guess *73 is just gonna have to do for now...

Call yourself from another line and let it go to voicemail. See if you're being charged. In my case I saw a $0.20 charge every time a call went to voice mail. I saw that same article when I was searching for an answer (which is why I started messing around with *73 and *72). I ended up calling Sprint Customer Service and asking them to disable wifi calling for me. After I got GV set up with *23 I was able to reenable it myself from my phone. *73 only goes to voicemail if you let it ring. If your line is busy it will still go to your Sprint voice mail unless you use *72 as well.
By the time I got it figured out I was just about ready to shoot the phone.
You were using *72. *72 forwards all calls, regardless of status.
*73 + *74 are the same as *28, and all three are free. They just forward Busy and Unanswered calls.
please read the post b4 jumping to conclusion.
"No Answer Call Forwarding (free on the Sprint Phone Connect Plan), dial *73. To disable this feature, dial *730." the sprint site states its Free... if i see charges i will have them get rid of them or cancel me without the ETF for breaking my contract....
the forwarding immediately without ringing your number first is what they charge you for.
It's been a long while since I used GV integration. Does now allow emoji in txt using stock txt app? I know it would strip them long ago.
