This is really weird, but when I was messing around with Darch's 2.1 ROM I got a voicemail so I dialed 1 to listen to it. Instead of going to Sprint it said "Welcome to Virgin Mobile's voicemail system. If you want to use SMS Voicemail to check your inbox press 1". I didn't know what that meant, so I pressed 1. Ever since, whenever someone leaves a voicemail message I don't get a normal voicemail notification, or a Visual voicemail notification...instead I get a SMS that says "(insert person's phone number) has left you a voicemail. Call (Some random phone number) to check it.
I don't know how to undo it! I wan't my voicemail notifications, and my visual voicemail to work! I Nandroided back to Fresh 1.1, and it still does the same thing. I think that means it's must be something on Sprint's network.
Does anyone have any experience with, or know anything about this, and how I can fix it?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

i had done the same thing.. and one of two things i did got it working again.. 1 was going into settings and Update Profile.. and the other was forwarding one of my previous voicemails to my self..
let me know which one works for you!
how exactly did you forward a message to yourself? I can't figure this out!
go to voicemail.. then open the message you want to forward and press the menu key. You will see a bar come up and select forward. Enter your phone number as you want to forward the message to yourself.

DUDE!! Thank you SOOOO much!! I didn't have any old voicemails, but I clicked menu, and there was the option to create one, so I created one and selected myself as the recipient, and it actually went through! I just tested leaving a regular voicemail from my wife's phone to mine and it worked. You're a genius! Major props. Thanks so much...cuz that was getting thoroughly annoying
Glad I could help! I wasn't sure which of the two things I did actually fixed the issue.. Thanks for verifying that's what does the trick!

I decided to post this in a new thread. Sorry if it was the wrong thing to do.
I installed some of the cabs found here, specifically the HTC plugins
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326655
After performing the mods, the call history is not logging any calls to/from people that are in my fave 5 anymore. So I thought maybe the actual My Fav 5 program is logging the calls now, but no, it's not.
Anyone else experiencing this? The today screen plugin for missed calls does not increment by one when i have a missed call from someone in my fave 5, the call history does not log any of my fave 5 calls, and the My Faves program does not log them anymore either.
Any have any suggestions? What could have caused this problem? One of the HTC cabs I installed maybe?
Thank you in advance!

hmm? My MyFaves is setup correctly. The problem is that my phone doesn't report/log any calls that are to or from people in my My Faves list. It reports/logs all other calls though.
I guess since all calls to myfaves people are free ... the phone doesn't register the calls or minutes used to those people so they aren't accounted for in any type of logs.
if you're running a custom rom, they wont be accounted for through any type on log on your phone
only way to track is through my-tmobile.com
I'm not running a custom ROM, just the HTC cabs and the pagepool hack.
It's disappointing because I don't know when someone from my My Fave 5 called me. It doesn't report it as a missed call! I'm not really trying to track the calls, I just want to be notified when I have a missed call.

I have the exact same problem. I have installed the same things. NOTHING in the call history involving anyone on fave 5. A fix for this would be huge for me. If anyone in my fav 5 calls and doesn't leave a message, it never tells me I have a missed call, and it never shows in the history. VERY frustrating.

Yeah that's the problem! I can't even find the calls from within the actual My Fav Program. The only thing listed in the log section are the text messages.
Something happened and we could really use a fix!
I got somewhere... someone sent me a private message and explained that they removed the "+" sign from the contacts.
Well I've tried to remove the country code, the plus sign, and tried formatting the number is different ways. So far I have gotten the outgoing calls to be logged, but if you call the person using the htc favorite people plugin or the contact manager. Outgoing calls are still not logged when calling via the myfave program.
I keep trying different things. Would someone mind sharing the format of the numbers in their contact manager and then also the format of the numbers in the myfave program? Thanks
I just edited the my favs contact number directly from the contact program (not the my favs program) with ####### no spaces, it automatically reformatted it to (xxx)xxx-xxxx, and it logs both incoming and outgoing calls fine from the 5 tab favorite contact screen. I don't have touch flo installed just have the regular interface skinned with the 5 tab, Pocket CM contact list, the htc dialpad, and the htc new default theme. It took me a few mins just messing with the contact number to get it working, but once it works, it works.

Ok..it seems to log outgoing calls that way....but no luck on incoming, what about missed calls? I seem to only have luck on it working when I dial them.
Also, when they call, their number shows up with their name and the "1(xxx)...." before it, even though the "1" isn't in the number in contacts. That probably has something to do with it...but I can't seem to fix that.
After editing them from my contacts, I still see they have the +1 in myfaves, which also seems to be having an effect.
For anyone that might know...
Is there a way I could just remove the myfaves application, which is probably a main cause of it not working right? I can just call them from my contacts or the home page contacts, which works for me if it means missed calls will show. So is it possible to just remove the application altogether? I assume it would still work because I could still access the numbers (and change them if necessary) online.
Welllllllllllllll.......
I went back, hard reset my wing, installed the stock t-mobile RUU. I then added things back one by one figuring I'd figure out which thing was causing my problem. It seems the pagepool is causing SOME problem (it doesn't NOTIFY me when I miss a call), but now even with everything I previously had installed, all calls show up in call history. I don't mind that it's not notifying me, as long as I can do a quick click into call history and see if I missed anything, so all is well now, I guess. I added my home phone # into my fav 5 (since I had an empty spot open anyway) and tested with that, calling back and forth over and over...it all seems to work fine. I'll be 100% sure when my gf or one of my friends calls me tomorrow, but it looks like I fixed it for now.
Start > Programs > myFaves > Menu > myFaves Settings > Refresh myFaves
If that doesn't solve your problems, log in to your My T-mobile account on the web and at least make sure you aren't getting charged regular minutes for your faves.

Hi,
this is not strictly Kaiser specific I guess.
I recall sometime ago seeing a feature which looked useful. When somebody calls you and lets say you are busy, meeting or driving etc.
You get a prompt to refuse the call and at the same time send a pre-defined text message back to them straight away.
So they get put through to your voicemail and also recieve a text from you to say "Sorry I'm in a meeting, will get back to you ASAP" . Is this a WM 2005+ feature?
Also another one
Is it possible to only send your caller id to people that are in your contacts list when making calls? Anybody else does not see your number?
Thought I saw that one on my old XDA iis?
Thanks
Mike
the text msg one seems useful. what if they are calling from a landline and not mobile like with most businesses? will the sms bounce back to you and says unable to send or something? just curious.

Well I seem to recall it was up to you what you did with the call, ie based on the number ringing . In the uk at least its possible to spot a mobile number easily.
I seem to think a small menu came up with several choices.
i don't know if this app will help. I've never used it but ran across it a few weeks ago.

I bet something like this could be down with MortScript... I'll research it, i've been wanting to get into MortScript, this would be a perfect test.

There are several apps (commercial ones) that do this. PhotoContacts Pro does it. And I think a couple of other phone utils do also (SPB or VITO may make one, don't remember).

Yes that looks very much like it.
I was sure it was part of WM already. Must have got it wrong.

Call Firewall
I'm using call firewall, it's a great app imo....
Photo Contact Pro has a reject/auto SMS feature. As for caller ID, My Kaiser has the following function. Go to phone, Menu tab, Options, Services, highlite Caller ID & press get settings. It then allows me the option to:
1. Send ID to everyone
2. Send ID to contacts only
3. Do not send ID
Maybe this is AT&T specific, but thought I'd throw it out there.

Only thing with ''call firewall'' is that when you are on a call if a call comes in it disconnect both the call your on and the one coming in... my experience.
There is also Magicall that does this:

Very nice, I've been looking for an app like this for a while now. Just input a # you don't want to receive calls from and it will be blocked. Requires root, though.
Sure, you can use the built in "Send to Voice Mail" feature in Contacts, but that's not a good solution because 1) It clogs up my voice mail inbox and 2) I get an almost as annoying text notification every time someone that I have chosen to send to VM tries to call me.
The app is still pretty new, so it's lacking a few features I would like (such as regexp patterns), and I'm not sure it'll block text messages as well (which would be nice), but it's definitely a very good start.

market://search?q=pname:com.ap.CallBlocker
I just downloaded it gonna start putting number in it. Do you know if you can use it to block unknown numbers?
I haven't actually tried blocking my home phone in it to try it out for myself, but supposedly what this app does is to send the caller directly to voice mail, just like the feature that's already available to us in the default contacts app. That's not quite what I'm looking for, as that means I will still get those annoying notifications and the voice mail inbox will (might) get clogged up.
Perhaps what I'm looking for is just not possible, but simply put I want an app that interceps an incoming call/text, cross-refs it against a black list, and if it's a match - mimics a red phone button press (decline)/refuse the text message - all within a few milliseconds. It would also be nice if it stopped the number from getting logged in the call log.

I'm pretty sure that what this application does is to receive the phone call (it may do half a ring) and immediately answer it and hang up. This should avoid the problem of sending it to voicemail.
i have been talking to the dev since release, the callers do NOT go to voicemail so it won't clog your voicemail manny.
also it cannot be used to block Unknown numbers so fo that you would need to write your app(i am trying but it is very hard to do when you don't know exactly what you are doing). but the dev claims that if you put in 1800 in the block box then it will block ALL 1800 numbers that call you. seems pretty good but i haven't been able to test it yet(crazy ex might have finally gotten the hint)
EDIT!! as soon as i posted this i got an update on it and now you are able to choose between unknown numbers or blacklisted numbers, i suggested checkboxes to select both, as well as text message block, but i am not sure how possible that would be

Really? I use the built in feature and I don't get a text when someone on my blocked list calls. It will show up in the call log but I don't get a text or notification unless they leave a VM.
where can i download? please?
I decided to start developing my own version..
^^^That is cool let us know, I am willing to test it. The developer has stopped updating this app.
Good to hear your making a new app. This one bugged me as it wouldnt block 1-800 type numbers..
Yes!

I've had an unlocked G1 for a while now and its been going great. Calls, wifi, tethering, mms, all of it works just fine.
The only issue I'm having is with my voicemail. When I call the AT&T voicemail number, it says it needs more information from me, it then gives me the option to enter the 10 digit number to leave a message, or press pound to access my voicemail. If I try entering my number to leave a message, it says it isn't set up and cannot leave a message. If I hit pound and try to access my voicemail, it says the mailbox number does not exist.
Anybody know how to fix this issue?

I actually had a friend who had an extra invite for Google Voice, so I got signed up for that and am using it for all of my voicemail needs.

WOW!! When I send a text msg to one of my contacts, and if for some reason that contact didn't get it, the process to re-send it is just mind boggling! Actually, it doesn't RE-SEND it, u gota FORWARD a copy of the text u originally sent to the contact! And the process for that is just.........frickin....crazy! There has got to be something Im not doing right or I'm unaware of the simple "re-send" button that I can't find in the options menu when long pressing the msg. Someone please school me??
Oh yeah, where is the menu buttons to select if I want the msg sent with normal priority, high priority, urgent priority, or whatever. Both of my non-smart phones that I had before this zio had those kind of options, I'm sure this smart-like phone should have the options too, right?

All I do when a message doesn't send is long press on that message, select "copy message text," long press in the text entry box, and select "paste." No need to forward.
There is no re-send option that I'm aware of, nor is there any option for message priority. I never understood what that was all about anyway
For the most part,,, ^^^ what Lukas_s said.. Long press and copy msg text, then paste and resend.
There is not any message priority for SMS and unfortunately there won't be, because of the way the SMS network topology is set up. Unless there is a global rework of the SMS system, or it gets completely phased out by MMS, I dont think we're going to see any changes to SMS.

All sms should be moved to mms, so we get rid of the 160 char splits. I cant figure out why they haven;t done anything about that yet.

YES!! Thanks a lot, it is a lot quicker copy text and pasting then send. One thing I noticed today was, if u open a msg thread and long press one that was sent out then select View Msg Details it'll show date time AND priority: normal. Which has me thinkin that there could be an option to set priority level. Any advice, anyone?
