[Q] Visual Voice Mail over standard Bluetooth - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have had both the Epic and the Evo, both have been good phones.
There are a couple of things I really enjoyed with the Evo that the Epic lacks.
My question is this, can you achieve listening to your visual voice mail via bluetooth without rooting or using a custom rom? I am on the latest stock rom, froyo.ec05.
My concern with rooting and using custom roms is as follows:
Constantly updating / reading about the latest ROMs.
Dealing with the headache if something wasn't done correctly or there was a bug in the dev's release.
Over-tweaking and spending countless hours on, stupid....
Long story short, I do not have the energy nor time to dedicate to a phone at this juncture. If I am off basis here and there is an easier solution I am open to that as well.
Thanks for your time!

I'm already rooted and ROM'd and I still would like to know the answer to this question. It irritates the crap out of me that I have to listen to voicemails through the phone, not through bluetooth. If there's a way to get this done, someone please enlighten us!!

[Q] is there a fix for bluetooth?

is there a download or fix for the bluetooth voice command....my bluetooth works but when i push the button on the bluetooth it says give command and then there is an error followed by, it disconnects. any advice on what to do or where togo to get the fix for this problem?
I've not been following the latest news on Epic, but if Sprint has released 2.2 I think you need to manually update your phone. Though from what I've read in the previous days was that Sprint did send out an update to some Epic users but the update was buggy. Therefore not everyone had their phone updated. Though assuming you're new to this forum ? And perhaps your Epic ? If your phone has 2.1 then there's no way you're going to be able to use your headset as 2.1 isn't capable of dialing out only accepting calls and manually making calls. I'm using midNIGHT custom rom and by using midNIGHT my headset does dial out. So join in on the forums and read up. I know there was a recent post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967014 That should be of great assistance to making your phone a lot better. Though most importantly I'm new here too and perhaps someone can give you better advice. But I do know that your phone out of the box won't allow you to voice dial using a headset until you're updated to Froyo and that I recommend midNIGHT rom but there are many roms to choose from as well as a lot of reading and learning which can be fun.

[Q] LiquidSmooth network connection problem

Hell everyone,
I recently rooted my phone and installed LiquidSmooth on my AT&T Samsung S3. About three days into using the ROM, I notice some connection problem between my phone and AT&T's network. The problem I experienced was I wouldn't receive texts or calls from other people even though the phone is connected to the network. When I do receive the texts, they come all at once at the same exact moment. Which means my notification ringtone going off like crazy.
This problem usually occurs at night around 9-12PM. I also experienced the same exact problem when I first started using CM10, the stable build. The one thing I also noticed after installing both ROM's is there's no voicemail number. I had to manually add a voicemail number, which is my own number, right?
I decided to unroot my phone and run Samsung's newly released JB update, which totally blows besides the battery life. As of right now with the unrooted phone and Sammy's updates, everything is running fine.
Thanks very much, I appreciate any help I get from you guys. And, I do want to apologize in advance if this question had already been asked. I tried searching, but couldn't find anything on the subject. If you guys need anymore details, please do not hesitate to ask. I will try my best to provide as much detail as possible. Thanks once again.

Anyone had Good or Bad Experieinces Activiating a Phone with Custom Rom

Happy Holidays to Everyone,
A few years ago I sent someone a phone with a custom rom, and the sprint guys thought they could not activate it, however It technically should be able to be activated even with a custom rom.
I just wanted everyone's experiences.
Thanks and be safe this Holiday

It can be done. But as with all support, you have to know what they're talking about and be able to do what they want you to do, including changing values hidden in menus which may not exist on a non-stock ROM and things like updating a PRL. When I had cable internet trouble I always told them I rebooted the modem and restarted Windows while never touching the modem and kept messing around in CentOS.
They have no standing to help you with any custom software.

[Q] ROM's, PRL updates and all that fun stuff

Hello all. I'm Trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I lost my IMEI and all, did the stock ROM to get it all back (which was a 4.3), rooted it and then got rid of KNOX. I have flashed to various custom ROM's since then and continue to have the same problems, which are bad GPS locks (or no GPS locks and its using cell tower and wifi for a position) and loss of mobile data (no 4G or 3G, think it happens when I'm on 3G for extended amount of time or something). I've tried AOKP, Cyanogen, and other various AOSP ROM's, different modem's, and different kernels. From what I understand you can't do PRL updates on AOSP after 4.2, and to accomplish this you have to flash back to stock, do the PRL update, then restore your previous custom ROM from a backup. Anyone have any idea where a good tutorial or where some info I could use. Also I would like to get a better understanding of some other things, like why flashing the ROM does not change the modem, kernal, prl ect. for starters (writes to certain portions of the file structure, while leaving others alone?) I need to start understanding Linux and stop trying to relate it to a Microsoft O/S. Any help would be appreciated (even a really big flow chart). Thanks.

Personally I stopped using ASOP and AOPK roms, because you lose a lot of the key functions of what the phone was designed for mainly SPEN features... If you flash a TW rom and it has the sprint app, you can update prl and profile that way.. I personally us goodness 3.03 MC2 the last one that was made.. It comes with the prl write function, so you change your prl any time you want..
I'm starting to look into the MIUI ROM's out there. I want to keep some of the Samsung functionality (like screen mirroring), but I guess I want my cake and eat it too.

No you don't.
Not if you search Google for superior alternative apps for 30 seconds.

First I have heard of this.. Plus many users have stated the same thing.. So what is the reason behind the lousy sound with these roms, plus the unstable connection issue.. Two more reasons why I switched back to TW..Now the roms themselves look real nice, but somethings still need to be worked out before I would even consider trying them again..

People repeat the same wrong thing often enough, they start to believe it. About the only thing you can't do is the useless air command crap as of now.
Don't know about "unstable connection issues", just about any ROM data either works or it doesn't. Sound issues are often kernel related. Latest Plasma does wonders.

How to Enable Wi-Fi Calling on the LG G3 on Candy5 Android 5.1.1 ROM

Hello, I would like to preface this post by saying I'm a complete noob to XDA Forums and custom ROMs as well. I've know about XDA Developers for years, just never been much of a tinkerer when it comes to Android, I just prefer stock.
Well recently, I bought a used LG G3 because the deal was just to good to pass up. It was my first time using a ROM other than stock and it was utterly disgusting in comparison. I hated it so much I installed my first ROM ever, and it was Candy5 for I heard CynogenMod stopped supporting the LG G3 is some capacity. Well, I've been using it for a while now and made it look as close as I could to stock, there's just one problem.
I recently enabled Wi-Fi calling on Ting. The device was a Verizon model, but I purchased it unlocked, and activated it on the MNVO Ting. Well, it wasn't working so I was wondering what's up. I read that you had to enable it within the devices settings, but all guides were not specific to the custom ROM I had installed, and even following along as closely as I could, the option for Wi-Fi calling wasn't there. I've read that if Wi-Fi calling doesn't appear, your device doesn't support it. But, everywhere I've read, has been consistent that Wi-Fi calling is supported on the LG G3.
So, I ask you long time tinkerers, do you know how to enable Wi-Fi calling within the Candy5 ROM? Does it just not support it? I even used the neat search feature within the settings app and couldn't find a switch for it. Please help!

Yeah WiFi calling won't be an option on AOSP ROMs... Its cooked into the stock software (for at least t mobile) and only works on stock based ROMs. There was a developer that tried to use the code from I BELIEVE the nexus 6 and adopt it to our devices but it never got pushed through. If you want WiFi calling/VolTE, stick with stock ROMs.

Ah, I see. Hopefully some day it would be available on custom ROMs. Using the stock ROM is not even worth the gloriousness of Wi-Fi calling, and that's really saying something, because my room is a complete dead zone for reception. I have to walk out on my porch every time I want to place / receive phones calls or SMS texts.

Yeah I completely feel your problem. Over at my house (which is in the maybe 10 minutes from the main bay area) there is NO reception, only when you walk down the street is there reception. When I was on Verizon I got their WiFi booster thing... Now that I'm on T mob, I use WiFi calling bakdd info their ROMS
