[BUG]&[FIX] Can not Add Call or Create Conference call, or put call on Hold on T989

[BUG]&[FIX] Can not Add Call or Create Conference call, or put call on Hold on T989
Hello,
I am unable to make 2 calls at the same time or a conference call. Everytime I try this I get android.acore.phone force closed. I have tried with Roman's kernel and stock rooted rom and with beastmnod 2.1. I want to find out if this is a software issue or issue with my device.
Can anyone try this and post results? Thanks,

install the Telus based kernel
Tmo based kernels seems to require that annoying ID App from Tmo before it lets you do it.
basically they are trying to sell you another "feature"

That is strange, because I'm using the stock kernel with Phantom ROM and I'm able to do conference calls.

my information is based of 3 guys that has been complaining about dropped calls when trying to do 3 way or putting another caller on hold
all 3 of those topics suggest it's that Tmo ID application, so take it with a grain of salt, it might or might not be correct
personally i have no problem with 2 callers, but i've not yet tried conferencing calling
i'm on Juggernaut 2
in that case the work around is to install a widget
i'll suggest Widgetsoid 2 from Market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jim2

So should I assume my phone is defective then?

Try to restore/re-install T-Mobile Name ID and check.

THANK YOU GUYS, it is the damn Tmobile Namecaller bloat.

woah! so now we got 4 people that confirmed the same thing...
it's it only affecting people using Tmo SIM cards?
because it works for me, without that Tmo broadware name ID app

It would be strange if it has to do something with the SIM. But yes, i'm using TMO SIM and that too the new one which came in the box.

Good point. Hmm I could test it without Tmo sim but the other ATT sim I have is only for data and does not have any minutes. Also, I got my phone for full retail but that does not seem to make any difference. AllGamer do you have yours SIM unlocked? (Must be since you are using a different SIM I assume).
thanks.

True! Unless you are on Simple Mobile (Defending my stupidity lol)

i had a dropped call when i was on the phone with someone and tried to switch over to another call...when it happened, i had a couple of people call my phone and i tried it again...i tested it like 3 times..it works..i can switch between calls and merge them..maybe the first time was just an isolated incident for me

Dropped calls in conferance calling? After installing roms/root? Solution here!!!
download the attached below is the name id.apk for t-mobile.....
INSTALL IT ON YOUR GS2 AND PROBLEM SOLVED!
This will solve the problem for people having issues with drop calls in a conference call/ 2 CALLS/SWAPING CALLS etc.....
Confirmed!!! This is the solution!!!

What if I'm not a T-Mobile customer? Will it make any difference? Because T-Mobile Name ID is just going to check back with T-Mobile and find out I'm not their customer and do nothing afterwards, right?

it seems to only affect people on Tmobile
i'm on Wind and i'm not having issues

where is that file supposed to be stored? under normal apps? or is it a system app? i have had the problem once..i just want to check if i already have it installed as to avoid it happening again
---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------
i just installed it, i guess i didnt have it as it didnt prompt me about overwriting or replacing it...i just opened it and it said "tmobile name id is unable to contact the server" does that mean its not working?
nevermind..i got it to connect...its a paid service? lol...do i really need to have this on my phone to ensure that call waiting and 3 way calling works? this is stupid
so i installed it, rebooted..i just got a call from my friend...it listed his location and #...so im guessing its the app kicking in? its actually pretty cool..i dont recall it giving me that information before i installed the app...i never agreed to paying the $3/mo fee...how is it still working?

Actually don't have that issue t-mobile puts it under change services as t-mobile name id free trial I told them to remove that because I don't want to be charged for something I don't use.

What is the actual name of the NameId apk? I know it is on here for download, but the named download is not the original naming. I am trying to pull from stock backup so I can drop into system folder to test a couple of other issues. As for the 3way/merge issue. Without the name id app, I get some failures, and some successes.
Anyway, if someone know the actual name of the app I would appreciate it.

[Q] Phone displays "Unknown Numer" when receiving calls

Ever since the update, my phone will sometimes not show a number from callers whos names and or numbers used to pop up. It just says "Unknown Caller/Number" even though before the update it would show their numbers. Anyone else experience this?
**EDIT**
Forgot to mention I'm fully stock.

My girlfriends phone also does this after the update and she is completely stock. I am rooted and on AOKP and haven't seen this yet.

Happening to me too, very annoying

I talked with tech support they made me do a full wipe, I did, and its still occurring. I just called in for a replacement, as I don't know what else it could be.

Probably by design by TMo so they can get you to subscribe to their caller ID app.

This has been happening to me also. Havent really looked into it.

mine did that and fixed it self on its own. weird thing is this happening to alot of people

Use whitepages caller id. It should remind the phone about caller id, and you can uninstall it later if you so choose

+1 on this. It happens to me at random. Sometimes my girlfriends number will show fine and others it will show as unknown. Not just cellphones but she has called me from her work phone and it does has happened the same thing. super annoying!

I've been seeing this alot lately also...I work in tech support and the times I have seen this something has been off on the back end we can see. I saw it was a known problem 2 weeks back but they've since removed it. Instead of moving a couple of things and click a button technically a "trouble ticket" needs to be filed so TMobile's eng team can track down the issue.
I've found no other workaround then calling in..sorry

I'm having the same problem. When I'm connected to wifi with wifi calling on, my caller ID works. But if I'm connected to the cell network with wifi turned off (or out of wifi range) then my caller ID almost never works. It's worked a few times when connected to the cell network but usually not. Have you guys called T-Mobile to let them know this is a widespread issue?

Hey guys to fix this issue, turn on Wi-Fi calling, place a call to the phone. Then change the settings on the Wi-Fi calling to use cellular network and place another call. After that it will stick until you flash another rom

Has nothing to do with wifi for me. Happens both on wifi and on cell.... Should we be sending in for a replacement? Also im on stock odin of ics. Not updated through kies. Very annoying issue i do not understand

Incoming Calls Randomly Not Ringing

My wife and I have the SIII with the latest update (LG8). She is not notified of incoming calls about 60% of the time. I've looked at all the settings and they appear to be OK. My phone is fine and I didn't see another thread that refers to this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Same issue here. I think its due to network issues tho.

Mine does not ring sometimes if im connected to wifi but there is already a thread for that.

Caller id problems on T-Mobile Note 3

is anyone having this same issue on their note 3? when i get a call, the caller id displays the persons number plus ";oli=63". what is that? i need help

Caller ID
Mine shows the name and number only. Are you using the premium version with name and number? There is a 30 day trial.

You have WiFi Calling ON? turn it off and see if that resolves the issue.
Seems like they are not going to fix it

Yep, noticed that the other day. Weird part about it was, it was a person who I talk with daily & her name didn't show up, like an unknown caller, even though she's listed in "Contacts". Definitely a WiFi thing though.

I have tmobile too, and been having the problem since last week. I disabled wifi calling, and the problem still happens.
Tmobile put up a "fix" here:
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-9456
I did try this, but the problem still happens. Apparently, they are working on a patch to fix the issue.
It is quite irritating since I don't memorize anyone's cell number when they call with ;63 at the end

Lets hope they release that update soon along with the update the the UK already got.

I dont even have that app installed and same problem

i have not experienced this at all

I'm getting this same caller ID problem and its very annoying.

Yup mine too.. but only when I connect to wifi... annoying as fak..

I am having the same problem. The only remedy is to turn off wifi calling and to also turn off wifi itself. This is obviously not ideal. I hope that a fix is released quickly.

[Q] MMS on Hangouts not working while WIFI on

Got my M8 the other day and noticed my MMS through Hangouts wasnt working while I had WIFI on, I turned of WIFI and MMS worked right away. I did some searching and found that people from verizon and att also having this issue but there was no solution. Thought I would post this here to see if anyone else is having this issue and if there is a fix. Never had this issue on M7.

That's really weird, i'm on Wifi right now and I just sent a MMS to my other phone and it sent just fine.... Also, i'm using Hangouts....

I think several phones and carriers have been having issues with Hangouts for the last week or so..

I have even tried stock messaging app as well, same issue, if my wifi is on and try to send/receive mms the 4g/lte icon comes on but just sits there trying to download, if i turn wifi completely off it comes right through

that is weird..I assume you have rebooted the phone a few times..
maybe time to call tech support, and see if your phone is defective?

rebooted several times, will call tech support but i have seen others with this same issue

I wasn't able to receive MMS while on wifi with hangouts or hoverchat unless I opened the stock messaging app. I messed with wifi and mobile priorities and APN setting and no luck so I'm using the stock app for now.

If you're using WiFi calling you can't send and receive MMS unless it's the stock app.

I'm experiencing the same issue. I actually called T-Mobile tech support and they walked me through deleting all my SMS messages in the hangouts app and then making the native app the default messaging app again. Then they wanted me to send a test MMS message to myself (using the native messaging app) and it worked. So i went back to using hangouts again and it worked for a day, and now it stopped working again. sounds like a bug in the HTC software to me.

I've always had this issue. You can help it out a bit by going into the wifi settings and setting it to be able to auto switch from wifi back to your 4G connection. Still doesn't always work. I don't send MMS often though so its not a big deal to me. Its the only thing that doesn't work for me. It does the same thing for me in the normal messaging app too. I turn wifi off and it goes though just fine. My M8 is only a few days old but most of my issues came from that same issue on my Note 3.

I can't send mms with hangouts on wifi either.

Is there a way to report this issue to HTC?

Found a solution posted in the General M8 section. Works fine now. Hopefully it's permanent.

How did I never see this when I had the Note 3. It was soooooooooooo annoying. I always disabled my wifi and get it then go back to wifi. I just tested this and it works. I don't do very many MMS messages but when I get one I know it'll download correctly.

i was having the same issue ill give this a try thanks.

I'm going to have to retract my previous statement where I said it works. Yes, it does work but you have to disable wifi calling for it to work. I guess I'll have to deal with disabling wifi when I send/receieve MMS because wifi calling is a must for me.
I'd like to see TMobile fix this to work with wifi calling enabled too.
