Phone only ringing once?! - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I have a problem with my phone only ringing once when I get calls. Maybe its the sound settings I have it on? I tried messing around with all the sound settings but I can't figure out why it's like this. Can somebody please help! I'm using root box rom

check your call forwarding. That's how it acts when you have it turned on...
start the dialer.
press menu
call settings
scroll down to call forwarding
voice call
set the appropriate one. be sure not to mess up the ones going to voicemail :>)
Good Luck & Aloha!

I had this problem also. This fix works:
- Download and install Audacity (audacity.sourceforge.net)
- Open the ringtone file in Audacity, note you can use mp3/wav files as well, Audacity can convert them into OGG.
- Select Open Metadata Editor for the File Menu
- Add a new tag called ANDROID_LOOP and set the value to 'true'.
- Click OK
- Select Export from the File Menu and select the Save As Type format as Ogg Vorbis Files.
- Click OK through File Save and Metadata dialogue window.
- Copy the new ringtone file onto your phone, reboot and enjoy

T-Mobile TP2: Deleting calls

Cant figure out how to delete a call from the call history. I can only clear all calls. Does anyone know how to delete a single call? Thanks

Only thing i could see is that when you go into call history press the little card icon to the right of the caller you wanna delete and that will show all the calls from that number. then at the bottom press menu and select delete all. That will delete all the calls from that particular number or person i guess.

Ya I figured that part out...but there has to be a way to delete just a single call. Anyone else? Maybe this option is available on a cooked rom? I'm going to be flashing a new one on the phone this weekend
I played around with it and couldn't figure it out. What I wanna know is why you wanna delete a call! Is it a mistress phone number!?
Pull up your dialer & on the bottome left side there's a Call History icon. this'll let you delete individual calls. Also, there is no mention of this instance of Call History in the manual.
Now you can delete all traces of your mistress.

I have the dutch rom so i don;t know if the translation is good, but go to:
Start -> All -> Contacts -> Select the contact who had called you -> Tab on last call -> Menu -> Delete call

Voice Command 1.6 question

I currently installed VC 1.6 and everything is pretty much perfect, but one thing. Whenever I get a call and my phone is set to ring, it announces who is calling, while scaling the down the volume of my ringtone.
Is there anyway to mute that caller voice that without uninstalling the whole program?
Thanks.
Yes...
Go to Settings tab
Choose 'All Settings' at the bottom
Choose 'Personal' Tab
Go to Voice Command
Highlight the 'Phone' (on left)
Choose Options button
Remove check from 'Announce Incoming Calls'
Piece of cake...!
Cheers

Tap - All Settings - Personal - Voice Command - Notifications - Then tap selection 1 (Announce Using BT only)
still goes through the phone speaker and not the bluetooth

Hi. Could you please tell me which MSVC version you are using as I installed the 19209 onto my new TP2 and the incoming call announce does not work. Thanks Richard

yes my T7381 does not say who's calling either do the contacts need to be in sim or contacts memory or both?

By default MSVC must be saved to your phone's main memory and uses the contacts on your phone. I used to have a Tytn II running with version 19209 but the incoming announcements do not work with this version. I recall that you had replacement files you could copy to windows and MSVC in program files to overwrite the current files to make incoming announcements work but htis too does not work as it also froze when I went into settings.
To answer your question you need to save the MSVC program to your phone memory and if you still do not get incoming annouments and your settings under voice command (settings/personal/voice command are correct then you have the same problem I have. Richard

well in same boat then as installed on device MSV only ever wakes up on emails etc when high importance option is sent nothing else ... lazy cow
Just off the phone to HTC tech (mainly about another BT headset issue) and he said Microsoft is working on a new version of MVC as the current V1.6 does not play well with many of the new BT stacks

Data will not suspend with incoming call

My rooted phone running the Fresh rom. It will not suspend data when a call is incoming. If I am listening to Pandora I get no notice of an incoming call. My wifes unrooted evo will suspend the data and let the call come thru. New to CDMA, am I missing a setting?
Tried Damage Control as well - still will not suspend data with an incoming call
Dial ##DATA# and in view mode check to see if DDTM is enabled.i believe it's under EVDO.

Ok checked it - Says DTTM ENABLE - Not sure if I have to select it to enable it or if it is already enabled. I tried to go to edit mode but it is asking for the password? I never set one up. Is it unique to the phone or a generic passcode?

Well there's your problem lol. (not an insult, Larry the Cable Guy )
It should NOT be enabled, that will make calls go to voicemail if your using data. The MSL is specific to your phone. Call Sprint and tell them your phone locked you out and wants an MSL, if they wanna be an ass and not give it to you just hang up and call back until you get one that will tell you.
Then you can get into edit mode and uncheck it.
BUT! Before you do that, go to Settings -> Call and I think you can disable DDTM there
I see where you get your name . Call settings Enable DTTM was selected. Problem Solved

[Q] Google Voice?

Anyone able to get Google Voice working? I want to use the SMS app, but it gets stuck trying to read my nonexistant voicemail configuration. Anyone able to get that working? Would love to have it on my home screen.
Thanks.
Works fine for me using gAppsInstaller_v4

Just put this on your drive and click on it with the file explorer. When it asks for voicemail setup hit the skip button. You have a google voice number right?
gAppsInstaller_v4 works for me too, I wasn't able to make it get past the voicemail configuration before I Tried v4 a few days ago.

google voice hanging on voicemail setup
I had the same issue with it being stuck on the voicemail setup and never offering a skip option. I used a the 0.4.2.13 version I found on this site and it worked. After getting past that problem now I can't figure out why I can't make calls from the google voice app. Does the dialer try to use a real phone dialer to make calls or why does it start to dial and then disappear? Anyone got a good solution for making calls from your archos using google voice? Sorry didn't mean to hijack the thread. Why does the Voice app not appear in the market either?? Can't even use the QR Code or the link from google.com/voice to install it. Have to find apk and side load. Would be nice to see this app show up in market with the most up to date version from google
I don't think you can use Google voice over work but texting works fine. You could use sipdroid and GV to make calls.
I installed Google Voice from the above apk. After much trial and error, I have texting working perfectly except for one thing. When somebody sends a text to my Google Voice number, the text goes to my cell phone and notifies me by a ringtone. The message also goes to the Google Voice Inbox on my Archos 101 but there is no kind of notification. Is there someway I can get a ringtone notification on my Archos for an incoming text message?
I installed the silence widgets from my phone and noticed the archos boots often with some functions silenced.i get a notification when i get text on. Archos

Try checking settings. There probably is an option to choose your Notification ringtone.
Ok guys - I know that this works on my Evo, and I will install it on my 101 when it gets here. But I wanted to put this down to see how it works for you.
This is taken from:
VOIP for Android devices
1. If not already done, install Google Voice on your device using the link already on this thread above.
2. Install Sipdroid from the Market on your device. Alternatively here is a link to it - Sipdroid
3. When you run the Sipdroid app for the first time, you’ll see a touch button at the bottom of the screen. This will setup Sipdroid, a background service at a site pbxes.org (a free virtual PBX site), and activate the VOIP service. You be prompted to enter your Google Account User ID and Password. This info is used to create an account at pbxes.org. This service does background/transparent call management.
4. Sipdroid will auto activate when you turn on wifi and stays active until you disconnect from wifi. There will be a new icon (Round icon which should be green when connected) in the notification area of your device showing if you are connected to the VOIP service. Close out of Sipdroid - I haven't used it again after successfully signing in.
5. Install fring from the Market. You'll use this to initiate GV/SIP calls over wifi.
6. Setup your SIP account on fring - make sure your entire pbxes.org address is used as the login.
7. Make sure that it successfully logs in, and then press menu and open the dialer. Enter in a phone number to dial, and choose "SIP call". I entered in the phone number with area code but no "+1" or "1" in front.
That should be all you have to do. Let me know if it doesn't work and we can troubleshoot. I will be getting my 101 soon and then I will be able to test this.
The method above worked great but when calling its muting the speaker on my 101. Any suggestions?
no issues here, i text with it all the time, now if i could only make phone calls, for the ringtone you need to open settings in google voice, enter the app and hit the menu button and go to settings, make sure notifications are turned on.

I haven't tried the texting but I was able to make calls last night using the posted method. Once I dial I hear the ringing on the 101 speaker but the instant I pick up the line I am calling the Archos volume icon on the top right shows with the X (muted). This happens automatically. When I try to do volume control the volume description says "in-call volume" and is at the first level but I can't raise or lower it. As soon as I end the call the volume icon goes back to normal. If we can resolve this we can make calls over wifi using the method posted by jerdog.

It has got to have something to do with not having the Phone.apk or TelephonyProvider.apk. It seems that it doesn't know how to route audio input.... It works on my HTC Evo phone....
Does Archos have a tablet that has a cell radio in it that we could extract those apk's and try adding them in even though we know it wouldn't work as a phone?
And has anyone tried using a Bluetooth or a wired headset to see if audio works in that?

I tried the wired headset but no luck, the system turns the sound off. Not sure if there is a cell radio in the Archos. I will try to play around some more today but I am still learning about Android.
I will also give a bluetooth headset a shot
Yeah That happens .... the only way now to solve the Speaker problem is by pressing the power Button and then choose Silent Mode and it will activate it

There isn't a radio in the Gen8 as far as I can tell - but I am wondering if any of their other models have one?
It's most likely an instance where we'll have to hack the kernel to include audio input - if the hardware is even capable of it. Or to allow BT audio in

[Q] Call forwarding with NFC

I recently installed an android tablet in my car. Currently when I enter my car, I scan an NFC tag and it disables wifi and enables tethering to get my tablet connected. I have installed google voice with a google number on my tablet. On my phone: if I go to Settings -> Call -> Call Forwarding -> enable "always forward" to my google number then i recieve calls to my tablet... which is great. Thing is I can't figure out how to set up that nfc tag to toggle call forwarding. Anybody know how to do this? My phone is ATT HTC ONE M8 btw. I have trigger and tasker apps but can't figure this one out for the life of me.
http://tasker.dinglisch.net/userguide/en/faqs/faq-how.html#n
Not sure if that helps a bit

Thanks for the help, my phone now automatically does call forwarding.
Now I need to figure out how to make an exit task so that when i scan the same nfc, my phone dials a number to deactivate the call forwarding.
Any ideas?

Are you using tasker to do it? And do you use Bluetooth in the car? Might have an easy suggestion for you if both are yes.

Well because you're using NFC I'm not sure you can really use an exit task but you can create exactly the same thing with a task and an 'if' statement. Something like a profile based on the scan of your NFC that launches a task that does one thing if your connected to a certain Bluetooth and another if your not. I have profiles setup for in the car based on that Bluetooth and others based on Bluetooth headphones... Let me know if you want more info or help creating the statements.

I know i'ts too late. But I post my method of forwarding calls with NFC tags. Not shure with Google voice or other, but works with SIM cards.
1. Download "Trigger" app
2. Download "Call Plugin for Trigger"
3. Download "Tag Re-use Plugin for Trigger"
4. Start "Trigger" and make a new task
5. In first window press + and add NFC, tap Next
6. In second window name your task (I named "Call Divert ON"), tap +, choose "Phone" -> "Make a call"
7. Type in MMI code which is provided by your operator for call forwarding. I think usually you can find it on their webpage on you can call them. (Mine was **21*phonenumber# ). Click add.
8. In the next frame do the same thing, but type number to deactivate call forwarding. (Mine was ##21# )
9. Click next, and scan your NFC tag.
From now on if you scan NFC tag it will activate MMI code and activate Call Forwarding.
If you scan NFC tag again it will deactivate call forwarding.
To deactivate call forwarding I allso put trigger widget onto one of the desktops. Just in case you leava a car and forget to deactivate call forwarding.
Also try playing with Trigger commands. I also put "Tunr off screen after 15 secs" on first task, and "Turn off screen after 2 minutes in seccond task" . But had to ass pause in first to exclude nfc rescanning.
Keep in mind that usually NFC will work only when phone is on and unlocked. To make it run even in sleep mode you will have to root phone and run modules with Xposed or something else.
