[Q] Google Voice + phone off - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
Google voice works completely fine for me when the phone is powered up. When I put it in either airplane mode or turn it off all the caller gets is "the call could not be completed at this time". Anyone have any advice on getting google voice working with the phone off?
I realize that this isn't the most appropriate place for this issue, but have gotten no help anywhere else. So I figured this site is the most active in helping solve problems.
I am using the stable CM6 with the stock kernel.
Thanks for the help.

Are you sure that you have Voicemail enabled for GV?

I'm sure. As long as the phone is on I get voicemail. Its only when the phone is off the air that I get the errors from other callers.

[Q] random call question

afternoon, and all apologies if this has been answered previously, but i couldnt find any thread similar to my issue. the issue is this... since rooting my evo, no matter the rom, cyanogen or fresh, when i receive a call and decline it, it rings again. so just to be clear, someone calls, i hit decline, then i get another phone call w/i seconds and then i have to hit decline again. granted its a minor annoyance, but still its rather irritating from time to time. also, it happens if i just let the call go to voicemail and dont hit decline. i am using google voice, as i havent been able to get sprints visual voicemail to work as of yet. not sure if that matters or not? i have gone through the google voice settings and everything seems ok, at least to me. any guidance would be appreciated.

Can't Receive Calls - Google Voice Issue

Hello everyone. My epic touch works great except I can't receive calls. I think that this is a google voice issue because once I disable the google voice + sprint integration, everything works fine. Sometimes, my phone tells me that I have a missed call. The last time I remember receiving a call is before I installed the google voice app (not sure if that this is the cause). I haven't been able to receive a call for nearly four weeks now.
I am at my wit's end. I think I have tried everything short of posting to this forum until now, including:
1.) Following the advice on a similar thread in this forum. (To dial *710)
2.) Elsewhere it was suggested to dial *720, *730, and *740.
3.) Calling sprint. They suggested it was due to a service outage, though I doubt this is the case as I live in an area with good coverage.
4.) Doing a PRI reset to factory default settings.
5.) Uninstalling the google voice app (and reinstalling it).
6.) Setting up another google voice account to try with a different number.
7.) Having google voice integrate my carrier number over instead of the google voice number.
8.) Following the instructions on post #4 on this sprint forum thread. (To remove google voice, reboot phone, update profile etc., call sprint)
9.) Googling around. There seem to be others who have asked google directly for advice, but they all seem to be "closed to responses" before the issues are definitively resolved.
10.) Flashed another modem.bin found elsewhere on this epic 4g touch forum.
11.) I'm sure there have been other things I've tried..
Can anybody help me? I rarely ask for help but I think I've exhausted all of my options. I'm running StarBurst 1.6.
PS - Is it bad forum etiquette to write in bold so much here?
My phone wasnt receiving calls and i thought it was a google voice issue, so i uninstalled it and still the same issue of not receiving calls.
I dont know if your issue is the same as mine, but when my phone isnt connected to a charger or computer in sleep/idle mode, it wont receive calls or text. my text will come in when i hit the power button to bring it out of idle/sleep mode.
I got the run around from sprint customer service for about a week because of the issue so today they told me to take it to a service center to get it checked out. Turns out the phone is defective and they're going to take a week to get me a new phone.
Its not google voice, with the guy above me that makes 3 of us who are not receiving calls while in sleep mode!

I'm not sure we have the same issue. I never have a problem with text, regardless of whether my charger is connected or not. If I disable google voice integration, I can receive calls to my carrier number, whether or not the phone is in sleep mode. It doesn't look like google forwards calls to my phone when someone calls my google voice number, though.
After re-enabling google voice integration, I left my phone out of sleep mode, called it, and awhile later the phone did ring for about half a second before displaying a missed call. This does not consistently happen as this is the first time I've seen this.

[Q] Rejecting calls and Voicemail

Hey guys.
I have an E250K note II phone (purchased from Korea). I had all sorts of problems with it
- korean apps that i couldnt remove (even after rooting)
- voicemail option (number 1 button), does not work
- OLLEH logo on bootup
- when i get a call, and reject it, it hangs up on the caller, not forward to the VM (my mobile provided reset my account 5 times, no help)
all sort of things
now i installed the Milan 3.0 ROM, and it was magic, EVERYTHING got fixed, with the exception of, receiving a call, and rejecting it
I think it is a feature in the ROM that i cannot find out a solution for
I think the Milan ROM is a chinese one, but it is way better than the stock korean one
So now, what i am looking for, is if someone calls me and i cant pickup, and i swipe the reject button, i want the caller to be able to go to voicemail, instead of hanging up on them
when i even look at the call log, it shows, "cancelled" as the call status
I am not looking for google voicemail or something like that..
i just want the basic functionality of the phone to work i guess.
so i am pretty sure there is something, a hack, or something that would allow the forward calls when busy to VM
when not available or unreachable, it takes the caller normally to VM, it is the call forward when busy is what i am having trouble with
Any help with that, i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
wow 86 views.. and no one knows....
I seriously need help from anyone please.
Thanks
I'm interested in this too. I wasn't aware that rejected calls didn't go to voice mail until recently and that's not what I wanted to happen.
Edit:
Hmm. Maybe this depends on where the call originates from. I just tried calling my phone from Skype and call reject sent it to voicemail, but when I get a forwarded call from work it just hangs up.
Can anyone else confirm?

anyone cares to chime in and tells us something on how to fix this?
is this caused by ROM maybe?
I tried a US rom made for the 7105 models, (i didnt install the modem), and the voicemail option VANISHED, got back to the original rom i had, VM is back, but back to square one, which is hanging up on rejected calls, normal calls that is.

Google Voice will not make calls

Stock GNex.
Short story: Recent medical problems with my wife have maxed out our minutes, so I figured we'd use Voice for the next couple of weeks. It works like a charm on my GNex with AOKP.
I just added a Google number to my wife's Voice account tonight to get the "Ask every time I make a call" option. I uninstalled the Voice app, re-installed it, went through the setup, chose the option to ask, but it still wont prompt when making calls. I've tried on WiFi and 4G.
Any ideas? I've spent hours searching and can't find anything. Thanks for any help.
Install Groove IP. Free version or paid.
Thanks. That worked for the time needed. The night after I posted this the option to call using Voice started popping up.
Either way, just wanted to say thanks.

Verizon Note 4 Google Voice Setup Issues

Is anyone having issues getting Google Voice to work with their Note 4? I've never had an issue with it before... I've done the whole *71 (GV#), *90 (GV#), *92 (GV#). All after setting up the GV app...
I don't understand! I've done it several times now. But still when I call my number from a different phone, I just get a "We could not complete your call - please try again" after like 8 rings or whatever... No chance to leave VM. I don't get it....
I'm about to flip, so I thought I'd toss the question over to the best and brightest.
Thanks in advance for your help!
So I guess I'm the only one with this problem - haha.
Several views but no response means something. But not sure what it means yet.
I'm not having this problem. When i swapped out my sim card from my S5 after leaving best buy, all i did was download the GV app and set it up and thats it. Didn't dial any of the *71 or whatever. I'm receiving calls and voice mail.

Hey thanks for this! I actually figured out what happened..... (This is weird)
So I went to Google Voice (via chrome on my PC) and my old Google voice number wasn't showing up anymore. Like there was no Google voice number any longer. What I was entering was my "Google Voice ACCESS number". So naturally it wasn't working and frankly for whatever reason, I had no actual Google Voice number to tie to anyway.
So I got a new Google Voice number and then used that instead, and all worked perfectly. (Although it rang too many times that way).
So cue your suggestion and now it goes straight to the Google Voice voice-mail the second it forwards. So now it works and I have the right number of rings.
I have no idea why my old number disappeared. Especially when it was working on my Note 3 just days before... Oh well. Works now!
weird thing is i can't do the *71 to enable it on my phone anymore. says, welcome to verizon, your call cannot be completed as dialed. so call forwarding is completely broken on my line now lol
