Blocked calls still coming through - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hi everyone. I've got a bunch of numbers on my block list, but they're still coming through. Phone rings, and I have to manually reject it. When I look at the logs it even shows the blue block circle. Ideally I'd like them to automatically go to vm, but I don't know if that's possible. But, any idea why blocked calls are coming through?
I'm on Darkside 2.5.1.

Why don't you just use 'root call blocker' works flawlessly with a ton of options.

Did it work before? Maybe it's a ROM thing. I know it works perfectly on CM7 because my gf does it to me when I piss her off lol

Voicemail notification stuck

My VM notification in the top bar of the phone wont go away. I listened to all my messages yesterday after noon and the notification went away, then phone died later last night. Charged it until it would reboot and now voicemail in the top bar is back, no voicemails.
Already tried a battery pull....
how do I get it to go away again?. Do I have to wipe the phone? I hope not.
100% stock not rooted.
Thanks

From another phone. Leave a message listen to the whole thing wait till it tells you to push 7 to delete then delete it. Atleast that's what works for me.

Voice rejection or answer of calls

I have searched and tried everything I could think of or find. The commercial makes this feature look great and want to give it a shot, but I can't get it working, any ideas?

Settings > Language and input > Voice cmd for apps needs to be ON. Also click on it and make sure the Incoming calls box is checked.
Just double checked that is turned on and unless I have to yell or something to make it work... It still continues to ring when ever I say answer or reject

I've never actually used it so I don't know how well it works...I'm going to try it now. Maybe it isn't recognizing your voice.
EDIT: Didn't work for me. Maybe it is broken in Blazer (I'm running Blazer 1.7) or it didn't work that good to begin with.
On blazer as well. Reject seems to work and answer works too.

Do you have to put your phone to your head like your talking on it for this feature to work?

Seems hit or miss. I do have to kind of raise my voice. Probably because the ringtone is loud.
I'm not sure if this matters but my phone is on vibrate does that matter?

This is a cool feature, but I had trouble getting it to work with the FreeGS3 rom as well.
Vibrate has to be off in stock Rom. Not sure about blazer prolly off.

Call echoing

When I get a phone call the person calling me gets an echo but it's fine on my end... I was on aokp/cm10, then went back to stock and the problem still persists. Any ideas?

That's weird, what all did you do after you went back to stock? Wiping process, what rom, and kernel?
I just got off two calls that said I was echoing really bad. I haven't been on cm in a while, and had no reports of it yesterday. What roms are you guys running.

If you're still on stock then try this:
open up your "Phone" app or dialer then press the menu button then "Call settings" then scroll down to "Additional settings" then uncheck the "Noise reduction" feature.
Now try making a phone call to check if whoever you call hear themselves echo. Good Luck.

Thanks and thanks again. I didn't think that would be checked naturally. That's what I get for rooting my phone and flashing the first hour I got it. Thanks again.

I was on aokp when it first started doing it, then restored a backup which was stock + root, checked the settings, problem persists, went to aokp rc1 did a full wipe, dalvik, cache partiton, formatted system, and problem is ongoing.... beginning to wonder if its a network problem?

The only other thing I can think of is Odin back to straight stock, no root and see if that fixes it, when I get home I will try it and report back.

Same here, but for some reason I've been very happy with the latest stock build.
I've noticed that some units are fine with the "Noise reduction" setting checking in and some don't regarding the echo problem.
It wouldn't hurt to try to replace your SIM card. Head out to a T-Mobile store to get a free replacement (If your current line is under your name in the account) SIM cards do go bad...
Does this happen everytime, on every call?
The echo you mentioned, do you mean to the other person you sound echo-y like in a cave or tin can, or is it that the other person hears what they are saying with a half second or so delay, where it makes it hard to talk because they are trying to talk over themselves?
If its the hollow cave/can sound it may well be your phone, if it happens every time. If its the other issue its probably a bad connection. Every time its happened to me, if I hang up and call again it would work normally again.

Odd. I've never seen that happen on every call! Is it hat way for everyone you call?
Try flashing through the radios again testing each one.
I've seen where some were having probs or just no improvement with a new radio but reflashing it solved everything.

did a full wipe again, went back to stock, and now the issue seems to be corrected. :good:
So I went back to stock using Odin, that took care of the problem for me, then I went back to aokp last night, my gf called me and said the echo was back... I hung up on her, restored my new stock backup, called her back, and no echo... I'm not saying it's the Rom or anything but that's what had happened.

Walters? Did you read the thread of AOKP or any of the cm10 variants. Cause half the reports of the last 10 pages include talk about the echo. Just a heads up. It is a cm10 issue, and known. And seems to be being worked out.

No I haven't, i was going on Twitter and goo.im taking whitehawx latest builds, for a while their wasn't a active aokp thread, so I all but gave up on xda and was getting it from alternative sources. But it's good to know it's just a bug and not something that was an anomaly with just my phone lol.

Definitely, there is a thread in the dev section. Someone is playing the mirrors from twitter and goo.im so you can see there what the issues and stuff are.

Galaxy S III Wont ring. HELP!

Did it do this out of the box? I had to send my initial SIII back due to a number of sound problems. Does the phone exhibit any other anomalies?

No, nothing else it plays all other sounds great, the problem is only when i get a call. and sometimes i works...like once ever 20 calls...
Did you make a nandroid backup after you installed a custom recovery, if you did you could test things from earlier. I'd look in an earlier backup for the problem as part of the process of elimination, as well as data wipe/reset. Is it possible it is your network? Use another phone and call your phone, can you reproduce the event? Does it put you to vm? Does it keep ringing? Do you have a 3rd party app that could be tied to it? How about Google voice?

Yes I have a backup. I have yet to do a factory wipe I was hoping to avoid it but I will do one to see if that fixes it. I don't have any app that I think interacts with my ringing other than zedge and trays just for ringtones. I can replicate the error every time from any network that calls. What would Google voice do for me?
The best advice I can give you is to start fresh and add things one by one testing each time for the problem you experience. When and if you find the culprit you can go from there.

It's either a problem on her end or plain and simple she's lying. If you really want to get to the bottom of it, next time you're with her send her a text and look at her phone that's the best answer anyone can give you. If she really does not get the message the problem is on her end.

I've seen similar things happen, seemed to be a network problem, account problem or phone not checking in type of problem.
Has it continued since she got all the back texts all at once? Does she receive texts from other people or miss those too?
First try a simple reboot if you haven't already. Send her a text and if she doesn't get it have her toggle airplane mode on/off. Try with wifi calling on and off.
Back up contacts and messages and in Application Management clear cache and data on contacts, dialer storage, dialer, and messaging.
It'd be strange for the battery to cause that, but put the old one back in and test it out.
If her phone is rooted, make a nandroid. Try a different modem. Try clear dalvik, cache and if needed data/factory reset.
If all fails call tmobile and ask to reprovision the account.
Good luck!

Did you try adding just in delivery reports for sms and mms?
Also is this intra or inter carrier. That can cause a delay as well.
