[Q] Google Voice Problems - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

I got my Note 2 today and loving it but I'm having trouble setting up my google voice. After installing and re-installing the voice app during set up I get an error message saying "Forwarding number change failed". I have also tried to do it manually by typing in *004*(11 digit #)# and the system gives me an error message saying "emergency calls only". I've tried to re-setup my number through google's web site with no success. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!
ATT
4.1.1

I followed the instructions here and it works fine now (post 3 from link I'm not allowed to post). I didn't get the forwarding number change failed message.
1. Go to Google voice on a browser (can't post link)
(If you don't already have a phone set up on the website, set one up)
2. Press on "Show advanced settings"
3. Next to "Forwarding Options", press "Activate"
4. Follow the instructions
(Enter *004*Yourgooglevoicenumber# into the dialer and enter)
5. If you get the confirmation, tada! When you go into the Google voice app, it'll automatically go past the setup due to it detecting it already being set up. Now you are ready to start receiving your voicemails via Google voice.

Application Installation error -- "Unknown reason -110"

Hi All,
First time poster so please be gentle -- I did search for this issue on google and within the forums first.
This is the first smartphone I've ever purchased.
My Inc2 is non rooted and non modded.
It has been working w/o issue since I bought it about 6 weeks ago until this weekend when it would no longer install updates or new apps from either the Google Android or Amazon Android markets.
Note that in both markets the app or update downloads w/o issue -- the problem happens when it attempts into install what was downloaded.
The status bar at the top reads "Installation of app X unsuccessful"
Downloads/Updates from the Google Android market result in an error message within the notification bar. Clicking on it opens a dialog box with Installation error "Unknown reason -110"
When downloading/updating from the Amazon Android market the error is less specific, I click Install, the standard screen opens confirming I want to install the app explaining what it will need access to. I click the Install button at the bottom of the page which results in "Application not installed".
Note that this happens with all app downloads or updates.
The steps I have taken so far:
1) restarting the phone
2) clearing cache/data from Applications/Android Market application (and restarting again)
3) clicking on button to remove all updates to Android Market application (and restarting again) --
Interestingly the version listed under the Market app is 2.3.4 even though it has reverted to an earlier version -- it looks very different.
On a side note: since this did not fix the problem, how do I get the newest Market version again?
4) unmounted SD card (and restarting again) -- since this did not fix the issue, I remounted the SD card
5) Used file manager to navigate to directory Download and look for files named: XX.apk, where XX is 1 to 20. -- but did not find any such files.
6) Per HTC support:
First, open the phone dialer and enter in *#*#checkin#*#* [*#*#2432546#*#*]. The number will disappear and your should see a notification of either Checkin Succeeded or Checkin Failed. If it succeeded, then new updates should be detected for your device and the application.
I received "checkin succeeded" notification
[Can someone explain to me what entering the combination above does --
what is the phone checking in with?]
Next, try moving any applications you have on the SD card to your phone's internal memory. This can be done by going to: Home> Menu> Settings> Applications> Manage Applications> On SD. Tap each program and then tap Move to Phone. Once this is done, check for updates again.
I received "Failed to move application" notification for each application on my
SD card that I attempted to move to Internal Memory
Finally, I recommend clearing the data from the Google Services Framework applications. In the Manage Applications Screen, go to: All> Google Services Framework and then tap Clear data. Check for updates once again.
Followed the direction above but have not received any updates by navigating
to Settings/Software update and clicking Check new.
For whatever it is worth clicking Status shows that my last update has name
HTC_ADR6350_LargeUpdate_3.02.605.1 with Status of Update Successful,
code of 200, date of 09/19/11 and time of 07:55PM.
7) A (perhaps) related development is that as of tonight, my Inc2 is no longer listed as one of my devices in the Google Android Market when I navigate the web page on my computer. Anyone know how to get this resolved?
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to help.

An additional development is that as of about 10:00pm tonight, my Incredible 2 no longer shows as one of my devices when I navigate to the Google Android Market from my pc -- could this be related?

Try clearing data in apps settings and reboot. How many apps are installed? When was the last time you deleted all your messaging threads and call logs?

Joshua,
Can you advise on the click path to accomplish the "clearing data in apps settings" process.
When I click Settings/Applications/Manage Applications, I just see my apps listed.
I do not use sms or text messages but I have never deleted all my messaging threads and call logs (again, I've had the phone about 6 weeks) -- I will do a quick search on the forum to learn how to take those steps.
Thanks for your help.

You're in the right place, just click on market and choose clear data. Wiping messaging and call logs, just go into the app and hit menu.

When I navigate to the Market App the "Clear data" button is grayed out.
Accessing the Phone app allows me to Clear data and I did -- can you help me with "hit menu" reference you made?
Also, I'm not sure what is normal but when I go into the Market Updater app, all the buttons are grayed out.
Thanks again.

Not the market updater app, the market app. They are different apps. It should be under the ALL APPS tab in applications settings.
"Hit menu" refers to the physical (or capacitive) menu button on the phone itself.
So you used the phone app to clear the call logs? Go to call logs and press the menu button on the phone.
Understood on the market updater app being separate from the market app -- just wanted to post an observation about the market updater as I wondered if maybe that wasn't the way it was supposed to look (all buttons grayed out).
I went to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications, selected the All tab, scrolled to the Phone app and clicked the Clear data button.
Upon doing so I received a Change Mode message that a SIM card was detected and the device was switching to global mode.
Do I want to stay in global mode if I only need CDMA?
Then navigated to Settings/Call -- but I was unable to find mention of call logs and pressing the physical menu button did not bring up anything.
Sorry if I'm being dense.
Not sure if this is related to any of the steps you have recommended but my Incredible 2 is now listed again in the Google Android market when I browse to it via my computer. I'll take any good news.
Thanks

Nope, go into your call log and press menu. Open the phone app as if you're going to make a call, go to your call history, hit menu and delete all.
When you were in the all tab, that's where you clear data for market.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
Thanks for the additional explanation -- totally makes sense now -- Call history is now empty.
Have done the same for messages.
Now rebooting the phone...
Tested downloading an app and unfortunately got the same -110 error.
Do you have any ideas regarding these questions I posted above?
Interestingly the version listed under the Market app is 2.3.4 even though it has reverted to an earlier version -- it looks very different.
On a side note: since this did not fix the problem, how do I get the newest Market version again?
... enter in *#*#checkin#*#* [*#*#2432546#*#*]. The number will disappear and your should see a notification of either Checkin Succeeded or Checkin Failed. If it succeeded, then new updates should be detected for your device and the application.
I received "checkin succeeded" notification
Can someone explain to me what entering the combination above does --
what is the phone checking in with?
If I will only be using my phone in the United States -- is it better to leave from phone in World or CDMA mode?
Thanks again.
cdma mode only
Can anyone help with these three still unresolved issues?
1)
Downloads/Updates from the Google Android market result in an error message within the notification bar. Clicking on it opens a dialog box with Installation error "Unknown reason -110"
2)
The steps I have taken so far:
1) restarting the phone
2) clearing cache/data from Applications/Android Market application (and restarting again)
3) clicking on button to remove all updates to Android Market application (and restarting again) --
Note that additional steps have been tried based on suggestions in this thread but nothing has worked so far.

Android customer support indicated that they had received multiple reports of this issue but did not have a fix yet.
Worked with HTC support and ended up having to do a factory reset which fixed the problem.
Thanks to everyone for your help.

Rogers (CANADA) Messaging Center Number

Let me guess...
You've discovered some hidden menus recently by typing codes in the dialer and find out this one: *#*#4636#*#* that open a "Testing" screen showing options like this:
Phone Information
Battery Information
Usage Statistics
Wi-Fi Information
Then you went to Phone Information
Tried some options (maybe played with SMSC:_________Update / Refresh ) but that was not doing anything so you exited the menu.....
after a while you wanted to send a text or someone was asking you "Did you got my text?" and you didn't....
Here's what hapened: Accidentaly you erased from your phone the "Messaging Center Number" wich is responsible for giving your phone the access to the SMS/MMS central of your provider.....resulting in loosing the ability to send/receive messages.
Don't worry, after having navigated XDA Forums I finally found my way to make it work again (yes that's because I did it that I now now it).
By the way, even if you Factory reset, flash a new rom/radio/kernel that mistake is gonna stay. You need to enter the number again.
in the *#*#4636#*#* hidden menu,
scroll down to "SMSC:"
in the box type: 0791715097960300
press the "Update" / "Mettre à Jour" (first button)
Now exit and Reboot the phone.
To test it, don't try to resend an old test message as it contain old message center number. I even suggest to delete previous text messages from your inbox if possible.
If it worked, everything should be fine by now. (you can even kudo me for this loll)
NOTE:
The real Roger Center number is +17057969300
the thing is that it need to be Encrypted in Hexadecimal PDU format.
(user MarcusVanSciver on XDA shown that link in thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412261)
That was for Orange Network (european have 8 number to phone number instead of 7 so I had to add a 0 at the end to make it work for Rogers)
after Encryption the number was now: 0791715097960300
This worked for ROGERS, the trick could maybe work for other networks but I can not validate the info. (but for sure this will not be the same number)
This had been tested with stock rom and Custom Rom With Custom Radio and Custom Kernel.
If this helped you, please give credit to this post ;-)

Easier way to do it without mucking around looking for your SMSC. It's how I got mine up and going again!

Hey man, this might be a bit old for you but i just got a galaxy nexus. I am having the outgoing text issue. I've tried that number and everytime i hit update it just says update error. Think you mightbe able to help me?
Damn this doesn't work for me
To program the SMSC (Text Messaging) number on Android devices, please follow these steps:
Go to the phone application.
From the phone application, press *#*#4636#*#*. (You will have to press the Call or Send button after entering this code in for some Android devices).
Tap on Phone Information
Scroll to the bottom to where it says SMSC and enter this number exactly as you see on this page (including all symbols): +17057969300
Press Update.

"Process com.android.phone has stopped" solution

i just went through this problem on my bravo so i want to share the solution.
actually i searched the XDA but didnt get the solution.
"think again before going to hard reset or clear cache, there might be some easy ways to get rid of it "
i got this message whenever i receive a phone call.
This error message is a common complaint among Sprint users, but it can easily be removed by taking the following steps:
method #1
1. From the Home screen, hit the Menu key.
2. Tap on Settings.
3. Select Call settings.
5. Select Reject with message.
6. Count how many messages are in this section.
7. Delete them until you have less than five.
After reducing the number of messages to fewer than five, you should be able to receive calls without an error message compelling you to force close the call.
method #2
Something I've also had to do to get the phone working again was going into the 'manage applications' screen and clearing the data for the phone application. This can be accomplished as follows:
From the home screen, press Menu
Tap Settings
Tap Applications
Tap Manage Applications
At the top, tap the All tab
Navigate to and tap your equivalent of the phone app (may be called Phone or Dialer)
Tap Clear Cache and Clear Data as available
Turn your phone off, then back on.
Another means of resolving those app errors, hope this helps!
method #3
didnt work above methods? strange!! hmm
100% solution
1.go into recovery
2. go to wipe/format option
3. clear cache
4. hard reset( not necessary,try only clear cache if works)
5. reboot.
it's still not working on my htc dhd
mobile networks
please i need help, i recently flashed cm12.1 into my samsung galaxys3 gt-i9300, and since then anything i try to access mobile networks in settings i get this error "unfortunately the process 'com.android.phone' has stopped. please i need a solution THANKS.....

Google account log in

Hi there,
So I just purchased a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition and I am setting it up for first time use. When I try to log into my Google account it just takes me to the Google Account Setting page and I can't complete the process. I've tried searching the forums but I haven't been able to find any information. The steps I take are as follows:
1) Go to Settings > General > Accounts
2) Click "Add Account" > Google
3) Sign in using my Username and Password (Same one I've had for years)
4) Asks me to verify by signing in on the website. Takes me to the verification screen.
5) Get verification text on my phone. Enter the 6 digit number > Check "Don't ask me again on this device" > Click "Verify"
6) Takes me to Google Account settings page.
I have reviewed all of the information on that page and I've even gone through and verified all of my log in's and linked apps. If I back out or hit the home button I have to start all over again. I've owned many google/android products and devices and this is the first time I've had this sort of issue. Maybe someone here that's smarter than me can help?
Thanks
**EDIT**
So I actually managed to figure this out by myself. Turns out you need to add the new device to your account. It's really lame since there is nothing to inform you of this during the setup process. Anyway to help anyone else with this issue here are the steps:
1) On a computer go to "myaccount.google.com" and sign in as you would normally.
2) Click on "sign-in & Security"
3) Scroll down and click on "App Passwords"
4) Click the "Select App" drop down and choose "Other"
5) Enter a name for the device and click "Generate"
6) Write down or save this one-time password
7) On the device go to settings > Add Account and click "Google"
8) When it asks you to sign in enter your gmail address but instead of your regular password use the one-time password you just generated (without spaces) and click sign in. It should verify and create the account properly.
Hopefully this helps someone else who had trouble figuring this out.
Cheers,
I had the same problem. I solved it by turning off the 2-step verification, adding the account and then re-enabling 2-step verification.

Urgent help needed! Can't sign into Play Store to install Authenticator!

Sorry, I know this isn't specific to the 10, but I'm desperate. I just wiped my phone and now I can't sign in to Google without the Authenticator app (which I can't get because I can't sign in). I can't change my 2-step verification settings from my laptop because it requires a code as well. What the hell do I do?!
Edit: I don't have backup codes, but I did setup a backup phone. When I click "Try another way to sign in" it doesn't show any backup options, though.
I've always just had it text me during first time setup..
Yeah, normally texting is how I get past it if I don't have the app installed did you not configure it with your phone number? I even have my wife's number as a backup to my backup
I did have a backup number, but for some reason it's not showing up in the options.

Click to collapse
On the phone click "problem with code" and then select text, it will automatically receive the text code and enter it automatically
or
On the website click "Try another way to sign in"
In either case the only options were to enter the code from the app or initiate an account reset.
