If anyone has any idea how to get to the point where you have to enter the msl # (which I already have) please post it here.
Thank you
wat r u trying to do?
You may try the following
##778 [SEND]
##778# [SEND]
On some network/device, this one might work
##DATA#
or if you're trying to program your phone ##MSL# should do it, replacing MSL with your actually MSL Code.
Some device/network might work with # at the end of the command, some might need an extra [SEND] to be press
##778 does not work
Thank you for your help.I was not clear what I wanted to do
here I was not clear is a post from ppcgeeks19-FIX THE SLOW RINGER
To do this, you will need your MSL, which only Sprint (or your provider) can provide you. Open up the phone app and dial ##778# (PST). You will be asked to enter your MSL. Enter it, and you will be brought into the provisioning of your phone. From the top left, select Modem Settings. On this page, your Slot Cycle Index (SCI) is how often your phone polls the tower for incoming calls, etc. This value is 1.28 seconds multiplied by 2^value (i.e 0=1.28 secs, 1=2.56secs) with 0 fastest, 7 slowest. The default is 2, but lowering it to 1 hasn't noticeably affected my battery life, and roughly 2.5 second (SCI 1) response time is far more reasonable than roughly 5 seconds (SCI 2)
hope this helps Thank you

##778 followed by send works for me. I couldn't get it to work for the longest time (using ##778# Send) but it now works everytime with ##778.
Same problem. ##778 [send], ##778# [send], ##3282 [send], ##3282# [send] ect..... None of these work. I have a Sprint Touch. I actually need to get to this menu to fix some other issues (error code 67 and 1012). I got my MSL number from sprint, but i cant get to this menu. Anyone else have this problem and care to help me out? Thanks.

My Sprint Touch works with ##DATA# (no need to hit send)
So, ##3282# should work for you.

I must be missing something really stupid here. Press talk to open phone dialer, type in ##3282# and the menu should just come up? Ive done this on my last phone (a900) and it worked. As soon as i hit the last # the "service" menu just came up. But nothing on the Touch. WTF. Anyone else have this issue?

Thats it. You're doing it right. Only other suggestion is give the phone a soft reboot. Maybe there's something in memory causing problems.

Soft reboot and nothing. Sprint is about to get a call.

L A M E .
Called into sprint and had the glorious opportunity to talk to someone that just passed ESL. (english as a second language) Told them my problem, that i tried a client initiated IOTA update, soft resets ect. They instantly told me to reset the device. Got to an actual tech and they were stumped.
I pressed ##3282# and NOTHING happened. They were speechless leaving me no choice but to hard reset. ****. Gotta spend some time pulling off programs / files / reg settings and reset the beotch. I did get a nift number from them though, well, 2 actually. My MSL number (concidering having it engraved in my phone), and a higher tier direct tech support number.
877-809-6696 - Give it a shot if you need it.
Ill update on the progress. Cheers.

HEllo, I have another problem.
Whenever I hold down the search button and say "Call ____________" and it's a business that i do not have in my phone, it adds "+1" before the area code. I have a droid incredible, btw. on verizon (obviously, hehe).
i'll say "call mcdonald's" and it'll dial "+1610xxxxxxx"
However, because it adds this "+1", it cannot dial, and a verizon voice comes on and says something like,
"welcome to Verizon wireless. your call cannot be completed as dialed. please check the number and dial again. announcement 4 switch 8-4"
this is a pretty big problem, cuz i have to memorize the number and retype it and then dial it. which is like, the opposite of what i should be doing. and it's kind of hard to show off the cool Voice Search feature on your phone if you can't dial all the time...
any suggestions?
also, i spoke w/ someone from htc customer service, and he says that all of their htc devices add a "+1" to their calls, too...
is this a htc problem?
Are you running a Z rom?
Those are Europe-exclusive, so it'll add the 1 for the international call.
I think.

Yep, this shouldn't be a problem with a sock Incredible or any of the Inc or Evo based ROMs. The only time I've encountered it is when using a Z Rom, and then only when I enabled sync with htcsense.com.
no, i'm running stock android and sense, i have not rooted.
maybe it's because i have htc syncing on?
i only have facebook for htc sense on... news stocks... google syncing...
do you guys have this problem? on your incredibles, what happens if you hold down your Magnifying Glass (search) and say "Call McDonald's" ?
Hello, I just noticed something ...
in Google Voice, my voicemail service, I notice that any number that is NOT a contact is displayed w/ a "+1" in front of it. Could this be related to Google Voice?
i don't have a Google Voice number, though.
Just checked my GVoice.
All (US) numbers have a 1 in front, even if I didn't add them.
hm... thanks, but why the +1...
That's the code for the country.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
the problem is that not every number has a country code. the ones that do, and they have a +1, when i hit redial, the call cannot be completed. i tried to disable assisted dialing, but that doesn't fix anything. any other ideas?
i'm beginning to feel like the problem is w/ Sense... when you root your Incredible, are you still running Sense? I think it's something to do w/ stock sense. we'll keep seeeing...
I have this problem with CM 7 as well.
I have a feeling it's a google voice issue... but who knows.
Anyone found a solution ?
I am using CM7 nighties and ever sense moving to AOSP I have noticed that all of my Facebook contacts that are synced with my phone come over with the "+1" prefix. When I go to make a call to one of them I am told that i don have a sufficient balance on my account to make this call. I am using Google Voice but this issue was around before I started using that. While using a stock Sense based ROM I don't have this issue it just drops the prefix and makes the call. I love CM& and AOSP and really want to continue using them but its getting old having to edit every number before i call it.
Have you tried turning google voice to only make international calls? Check the settings in the app.
Google Voice is what is telling me that I don't have a sufficient balance. Before I had Google Voice it would say that it was not able to place the call.

Hmmm you could try going to google.com/voice and changing your GV number linked to your phone. Have you ported your sprint # into google voice? I use two separate numbers, 1 sprint # and my GV has a seperate #. If you try that make sure you go back to call settings and select "voicemail number" and dial that little number that pops up to activate it again.
Or
Try going to all the numbers and removing the plus, google voice thinks you're calling long distance dude. I believe aosp roms don't like the +1 man you have to get that plus out lol.
Its a ROM issue. I was wondering if there was some setting or app that would take care of the issue.
I can't edit the numbers that are brought in by Facebook.

Ouch damn that sucks. It has to be aosp...ill do some research see what I come up with lol.
My last guess would be to try another dialer and use it over the stock cm7 one. Search market for "dialer one" or "go dialer".
Go dialer

Dialer one

I like go dialer but it is a no go. Still happens. This has to be in the rom some where.

try going to menu-settings-call-plus code dialing and untick "north American dialing" thats what finally worked for me.

The only temp solution i have found with MikG 1.x is to go into your contacts and unlink the Facebook contact, hit done, and then manually relink the Facebook contact. This workaround effectively got rid of the +1 dialing prefix on the majority of my contacts.

hey guys i installed a voicemail app (cant remember which one) on my girlfriends evo running synergy and flashed her to the new mik 2.58 now she isnt recieving any voicemails at all even if she dials her # to get to her voicemail it says she has none. ive left her at least 3. my question is, is there a *number to dial to reactivate her native voicemail?
Try *38, I think that's it.
If you go to the website for whatever third party voicemail app you used, it'll give you directions on how to deactivate their service and reactivate your default voicemail.

Thanks. I'll try it tonight. I would deactivate the app accnt but I don't remember which app I used.

Hey all,
Just got my Cyber Monday red DInc 2 and love it so far. Very sharp screen and the red color is also very nice.
Immediately after activating the phone, I downloaded some of my standard apps, including Google Voice. However, Google Voice would not take over my voicemail (my whole reason for using it with my DInc 1). Are there known issues with GV and the DInc 2?
In the first stage, GV verified my phone number, but when setting up voicemail, GV could not verify my number. I have fairly low cell signal in the house, and was connected to wifi. Was able to make calls normally.
Is my difficulty due to my number just being activated? Any other reason why GV set-up would not complete?
Thankyou, thankyou.

I suppose it could be the low signal strength, try setting it up when you have a better signal. I use GV on my phone, and it sets up and works perfectly, so there's definitely no compatibility issue.
I also use GV for the VM. No problems here. I'm going to guess you tried too soon after setting up the phone number?
Did you check menu /settings /call settings/ voicemail service and change to google voice?

I did try that, and when I tried to apply those settings, I was tossed back to an unsuccessful GV set up.
I'll try again tonight, and if a no-go, I will try in a better signal area.
Thanks all, for your help!

I set up gv on my Eris once and have since skipped voice mail setup..and it works just fine for me.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
I've had some minor problems with GV in the past too. It always ends up working and I can't remember exactly how I got it to work, but one more setting you may need to change is phone/preferences/voicemail handler. Hope that helps
When it says retrieving voice mail settings, hit the home key and go back into the phones voice mail settings and reselect gv again, then click on the number assigned by google to your phone and things should work. I have had to do that every time i set it up on the inc2, but it works flawlessly!
This issue is resolved. After about a week and in a good reception area, I was able to set GV as the voicemail provider without issue.
Thanks for all your suggestions!
EDIT: Unfortunately, I did not test before downgrading to 2.3.3 - so this was done successfully only after flashing the .97 HBOOT RUU.
