Hello All, I will start off by letting you know I am running AOKP M3 with the i9250UGKL1 (though this also happened before on the previous stock radio i was using), I am also on AT&T in northern new jersey. I work from my basement and service is pretty weak, 2 bars - 0 bars(though it still says I have service and I can make and receive calls). Before this phone I had a SGS2 I777 which never had a problem like this.
The problem is that sometimes when people call me my phone never rings, and on there end it continues to ring until given my voicemail, normally when I wouldnt have service or something it would go straight to voicemail, therefore the person would realize i was on the phone, or my phone was dead or something, but the problem is the phone rings on the other end yet I recieve no calls, I use google voice and have it set up that when I miss calls google voice sends me an email. So it is very weird, google voice recognizes that the call was missed and went through yet my phone never received the call or even acknowledges it ever happened. I can also call the person back from the same spot the phone has been sitting with no issue, so its not like i dont have service.. Since this is an international unlocked phone, I am assuming it would be pointless in calling at&t and seeing if they could do anything about it, So I am just wondering if anything else is experiencing anything like this or has a solution, its pretty irritating!

I root and flashed my HTC EVO 4G to cricket using Jiminy rom.
baseband: 2.15.00.11.19
Kernel: 2.6.32.17-gee55fd

I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934417&highlight=flash+evo+cricket
2 weeks into having switched to cricket my phone has started sending a lot of calls directly to voice mail. Even when I have full reception and the phones are right next to each other. I went into the individual contacts to make sure the SEND to voicemail was off.
I checked my voicemail settings and they are with my number. I even did a NANdroid restore all the way back to the original ROM.
Around the same time as the problems started I had been trying to set up visual voice mail with Google voice and this other service. Neither worked, so I deleted the apps.
Has anybody have experience with similar issues?
I have the same problem and it sucks; so far, I haven't found a solution for that. And I honestly don't wanna change phones.
Im sorry but thats the way Criket service is and always has been.
Well I'm trying to figure out why my voicemail notifcations when I first got the Evo onto Cricket didn't work. I jumped around on ROMS and then they did work. Now once again they don't work. Problem is I can't figure out which ones worked.
As for your problem with them sending to voicemail directly. Sh*t happens. The only thing you can really check is with whomever called and see if it rings or just goes directly on their end. If its direct it might have some thing to do with your PRL or I have noticed that if my phone is doing something with the connection like syncing or whatever it feels like i won't get the call even though it will others. kingtheproducer is right though its Cricket and they don't care about a lot when it comes to customer service. Can't even talk to someone if your phone is listed CPE depending on the agent.
To get Google Voice to work you just forward your calls that you don't answer to your Google Voice number by dialing *74GoogleVoice# (not literally but your Google Voice number). As far as I know you can not port your number with Cricket to Google Voice. Just remember Cricket will not forward calls to a different area code so your Google Voice # must have the same area code as your phone.
Im not a big fan of Google Voice and how it sends you a billion notices for the same call. Never figured out how to get it to stop sending me emails, text messages and voicemail notifications for each call. And what good is visual voicemail when they cant transcribe the message worth a damn
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.
In the past two days it seems my phone has been acting up. I can give you some information about it. I hope this is enough.

The phone has not been ringing. When I say has not been ringing I mean I am not receiving calls. This could be due to two reasons. 1. The person is either hanging up before the 5th ring(this seems to be the magic number for my phone to actually ring according to some self tests performed today). 2. My Google Voice is picking up before the 5th ring and the people are hanging up. Now I am also not receiving notifications of missed calls. My wife has ranted at me the last two days about not picking up her calls to which I reply I had no clue that there were calls to where I show her my call log and the lack of her calls. I have called Sprint and went through about 20 minutes of back and forth and a reset a couple of times then a punch in of a ## 6 digit number # and did a MSID input. The Sprint tech said that the phone was ringing on his end and when I picked up said it took a while but he did a few things and then it seemed to have sped up on his end. Now after hanging up with him proceeded to call my phone from the wifes and it still takes 5 rings for it to pick up. Is there anything I could do to fix this. Is this an issue on CleanGB. Thanks for the replies. Let me know if you need anymore information from me.
im just taking a stab here but I think I remember reading this is a GV problem and had something to do with GV settings . Like I said not sure but you might wanna start there.
That is what the Sprint guy started off saying. How would I go about fixing that? Do I need to uninstall Google Voice? Sign out of Google Voice? or what I am willing to try anything right now.
I don't use Google voice, but if it's easy enough to uninstall & install I'd try removing it and see if problem persists. At the least you can tell if it is the problem or not

I have basically restored my phone back to factory. I am on EL30 now. I uninstalled google voice that way. I also went to google voice on the web and fixed my voicemail on there. My phone still wants to ring 5 times before it shows me I have a call coming through, however I also do not have any voicemail at all now. After about the 8th ring it gives me a This caller is unavailable message followed in spanish then an error 261 message. Gonna call sprint again in the AM and see if they can reset something for me.
VM app try phonefusion its what i have been using and it works great i didnt really like google voice i just need voicemail i dont need something thats going to record my calls and text messages
as far as your phone ringing i had this problem a while back and i think it had to do with a cell tower not sending the call out right or something like that anyway ask tech support how the towers are responding in your area
Thanks
I will ask them about the towers today when I call. I have to call them now I have no voicemail at all. The sprint voicemail isnt picking up anymore.
Back on the 4.1/MC2 updates, I used Google Voice without issue. However, recently when I went back to Google Voice I discovered a major issue.
After doing the *28########## code, if my phone was ON and I missed the call, people weren't able to leave me messages. They would receive an automated phone company error message stating "the first 3 or 6 digits of the number you have dialed, is invalid"(I have verified this by calling my phone from different landline phones). HOWEVER, if my phone is turned OFF completely, then Google Voice picked up the missed call just fine. It's only when my phone is on and I miss the call, when I have issues.
I updated from 4.1(rooted) to 4.3 with Lorjay's MC2 to MK4 rooted zip, so Knox is not involved. It seems like there is something not right with the way the phone tells Google Voice to pick up after a missed call, but I have no idea where those type settings would be.
For reference, the stock voicemail works perfectly(after clearing GV with *38).
I have no idea how to go about fixing this. I posted on the Google Voice forum, but no answers and I have found nothing like it after searching the web.
At least once per day, since the phone came out of the box (March 4th), and continuing after the subsequent update, I get notified of a new voicemail or missed call via my voicemail service but the phone NEVER rang. Nor does the call log show a missed call.
Unbranded, unlocked device purchased directly from Samsung. And generally wherever the phone is sitting when this occurs I have plenty of service connectivity.
Could it be an issue with having the Wifi on? Being as I am on AT&T I cannot use Wifi calling with an unbranded phone, so is that somehow interfering? I get 75-80% of incoming calls, no problem.
Same issue here. Exynos variant in India
