[Q] No dial tone?

For the past hour, I've been trying to make a call and I can't get a dial tone. I got it to go through once, but no it won't. It just makes a blaring "BOOP BOOP BOOP" sound, idk how to explain it xD,
But has anyone else gotten it? Is it a problem with Sprint, or is my modem broken or something? I have no idea why this is happening.
Thanks.

Come on, someone please respond

What modem are you on?

Me too!!! I try to call out and after about 20 - 30 seconds I get a fast busy signal. I can receive calls no problem.
I DO have Google Voice active on my account...
EDIT:
Just disabled GV and now it's all good. Google must be having problems.

Sounds like a network problem with sprint. You could try flashing a dif modem or even odining to stock but imo it sounds like a network issue on sprints end. Try calling customer service.

A boop boop boop tells me I'm connected to my airave.
Try dialing *99 send
It will either say you are now in airave coverage or this feature code is incorrect if your not.

In my case it is an issue w/ Sprint and GV. I disabled GV on my account and presto, I could make calls again.
Of course, this was after flashing a couple of different modems... sigh.

Normally I try not to feed the trolls and wasn't even thinking when I wrote it but I guess it goes to show you can learn new words when trolling other devices forums. Maybe you should thanks me for increasing your vocabulary. ;-)

Hah, that fixed it for me too! I ended up upgrading my modem to ef10 but deleting Google voice worked perfectly.

I noticed last week some strange things happening with sms and mms with gv so I discontinued it then.

Both my wife's and my phone are doing the same thing. I spent a good 30 minutes on the phone with customer support. Interestingly, I was able to get it to work for about 5 minutes by dialing *740 (but not pressing talk) then rebooting the phone. The CS rep said it had something to do with "call forwarding being enabled" for whatever that's worth. I immediately asked if it was related to the GV integration being setup on both lines and she said no (but in my head I'm thinking, yeah right).
I did notice that my PRL was the "older" one and I just did a PRL update on my phone, but that didn't fix anything.
If you disable GV integration, can I just re-enable it later when they fix this? Is there any delay in switching GV on/off the account?

It worked instantly for me. As for turning it back on, I've done it a few times in the past.

Is it one of those things where you reboot or change airplane on and off and then they arrive or do they never arrive?

Q: Is it possible..

To have two phones connected to one line. Sharing the same minutes, data usage and txt msgs?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Its illegal...but yes

It is called cloning a device. They used to do it for pagers but that is a major difference. Doubt you will find anyone to do it for a cell phone but theoretically it could be done.

That would cost money... I joke, but really this is the way to go. I have 5 lines on my family plan. We still only use 200-300 if the 1500 landline minutes.

Aren't there also a lot of technical problems with a clone?
EX: A call or text comes in to your number and only one of the phones gets it.

It is how Vonage and Majic jack work as well as a good part of the Sprint Airave. They just use your internet connection.

Ok, so on the most current Miui build Wifi works and voice calling isn't quite there yet. How would I go about setting something like this up? Do I need to get a specific app?

More accurately, it is called Voice Over Internet Protocol. Goole voice is a specific service that uses the protocol, similar to the issue of Kleenex being a specific brand of tissue paper.
I like to clear up confusion before it gets too far - we Americans have redefined too many words out of ignorance and fallacious assumptions as it is ;-)
@John - I haven't looked at VoiP solutions for Android in several months, but GrooveIP was a great app to use Google Voice for this purpose. At the time that I discovered it myself, the official Google Voice app didn't support voice calls on Android, so the only free way I had found involved an intermediary internet number (called a DID number, using a SIP account... it gets convoluted and confusing too damn fast, and wasn't very stable... plus, all of the free SIP providers I could find seemed to shut down around the end of June, for some reason).
What are you trying to accomplish? The only use that readily comes to my mind is to avoid using limited anytime minutes by using unlimited data instead - I rooted a friend's phone for this purpose, because his girlfriend always tore through all of their minutes in the first week of the month, then *****ed at him when she was unable to call him (obviously, the *****ing came later that evening, lol) I should explain that they're on a prepaid provider that doesn't do any free mobile to mobile minutes, etc. Just re read you4r last post more closely, answering my own question
And I mistyped one part - google voice didn't support outbound calls, lol - one word makes all the difference. Actually, I think the issue was that outbound calls used minutes you have to purchase... it wasn't the ideal situation for my friend's budget...
Anyway, my friend also had an Evo that he was unable to flash to Virgin, so I initially tested on that using just a wifi connection. It works great, and actually save my ass one night when a bad flash rendered my Epic unusable, and I couldn't get to my laptop for another 10 hours. I found a McDonald's or Starbucks with the free hotspot service whenever I needed to make or receive a call
EDIT: I am doubting the accuracy of my statements... but I am certain that GrooveIP does not need an active mobile network and does not eat up minutes, because Virgin doesn't do free incoming calls (at least not on their lowest Android plan). So I may have some details mixed up, but GrooveIP will work.
I should mention that GrooveIP was a $4 app when I set my friend up, no trial version to be found either

I guess I was trying to find a way to make calls using the most current Miui build. It only works on Wifi and when I make or receive a call you can't hear anything so I was hoping I could ring a roundabout way while they are working on it. Thanks for the thorough response.

How to remove flexispy?

How? Not for me thank god. But, I used to think it was fake. I probably rooted/fixed 100 phones this week. And, I saw it today on a friends phone. He's on probation and doesn't need that

Have you tried using titanium backup or root explorer to delete it

That's a great idea. Thank you for your response. Totally worked. One more question, though.
It seems to get installed when you get a weird phone call. I already blocked unknown calls and a few likely suspects. Is there something more I can do. Like make it so only his contacts can call him?

where on phone did you see it? using root explorer or something? always thought was untraceable once installed..would be nice to know to look

Well best thing you can use is root call blocker, it works best but its paid app. Has that feature to just have calls from contacts. Also has reject too that works better than the built-in one..

might wanna tell "buddy" that if he got cases big enough for cops to tap his phones he might wanna switch to something other than his personal cell to conduct business or if it might just be wifey keeping tabs to make sure he aint banging the next new thing then he might wanna do the same because she can always order an in depth statement on calls and texts.... just saying

What? What's this about an app (or something) being installed from just receiving a phone call?
I'm no where near an expert or a dev but I never heard of anything like this. Unless the phone was already infected PRIOR receiving the 'weird' phone call.
Edit: OK.. I just Googled it, and sure enough it MUST be installed first. There are 2 versions, 1 - the LITE version can be installed on any android phone, but doest intercept live calls (and other things). 2 - the OMNI version requires a rooted phone, and you can intercept live phone calls and listen in.

google voice receive multimedia messages now?

So I remember reading that sprint would be getting pic messages update for google voice where the pic would be forwarded to your email but I never heard about that update being for all providers. But just now I got a pic message where the pic was forwarded to my email. Does anyone know if this update has come out officially. I would like to read update notes. (Also mods, if there is a better forum for this plz move. I just consider this my home forum)

You can receive mms now. I wasn't aware the functionality was expanded beyond Sprint until a couple weeks ago. It sends to your email just as you said so I'd say it's rather official.

With StarStar Me, you can use your name, nickname, or handle as your phone number. Instead of giving out 10 hard-to-remember digits, provide the people you meet with a memorable mobile number, like **SARAH, that distinguishes you from the crowd.
To sign up for StarStar Me, Sprint customers can simply call **ME (**63). The service costs $2.99/month per StarStar Me number. Sprint subscribers can have two StarStar Me numbers per mobile phone number.

This would have been cool in 1995. We have infinite contact lists these days. Besides, this only works on Sprint for now. Who actually dials phone numbers anymore except for the one time initially creating the contact? This is especially true now that we have portable numbers.
