When I make a phone call I get the message "Conditional call forwarding active" Anyone know what that is about? I also get a brrrp of tones just before the phone I am calling begins to ring is that normal?
Just cancel all diverts on settings menu, it sometimes happens when you have a vm divert on the network hlr

OK I think I get it. It forwards any other calls to my voicemail if I am on the phone. Odd as I have it set for call waiting as well.
I don't know if this may help somebody or if it is an extremely newbie thing or what.. but I kept getting the "Call Forwarding Active" message whenever I tried to call, and then the call just droped and nothing happened. This happened to me for a week, I turned the phone on and off and that didn't helped.. After a lot of trying and error, I realize that it seems as if there is something in the network that sort of 'crashes' the calls, so I have to disconnect form the network and then connect again.
Now I can make calls
To disconnect from the network:
Settings->Wireless and network->Mobile networks->Network Operator->Default Setup
Select Manual and choose the one you should be connected to.
I actually chose another network, failed connecting and then try the one I use. And that made the trick for me...
Hope this helps somebody.
Hello,
Is it possible to have internet connection (mobile network) without enabling sms and voice call?
I know then it's not really a mobile phone anymore, but I never use them; I only go on internet, download apps, watch youtube videos etc.
I wanna turn off sms,mms,voice call etc. because I think that saves my battery a bit more.
Is it possible? If it is, how?
Thanks
pointless...
Hello, what do you mean with pointless?
Is it pointless to post in this section?
bump
thanks
You could try disabling the phone settings disable sms and voice call details in mobile network settings .
Other than that ask your network can they send you a sim that does not work on the phone .

Best way is to ask your SP for data only SIM card perhaps.
Hi, My Hero(Cdma) is having a problem receiveing calls while 3g is turned on.
I can not receive calls while 3g is on.
Calls works fine with Evdo/1x.
I am running CM7 latest nightly, stock everything.
Is there a way to completely disable 3g and use only Evdo?
Or is there a fix for this problem?
Thanks.

EVDO is 3G, they are the same. 1X is slow as balls. FYI, on a CDMA network (like sprint) you CANNOT use both EVDO data and voice calling at the same time. Your calls however SHOULD override the data connection, so if you are describing this right, it sounds like your phone is backwards. I think you are confused.
Thank you for the reply.
I really have no idea why it is doing this.
Some google-ing found me some reports of 3G interfering with receiving incoming calls.
I'll try to explain it better and maybe there is something I am missing.
When the phone is rebooted it sends all calls directly to voicemail, the 3G icon does disappear then reappears instantly, the phone does not even ring.
For the person that calls it's like the phone is powered off.
I can make outgoing calls without any problems, but it still will not receive incoming calls.
Text messages/MMS/apps/browser all work.
We are doing a work around where we disable all Data(via the data widget) then re enable it after every reboot.
That solves the problem temporary.
But it makes the phone unreliable, since it does this.
I've wiped everything, reflashed CM7, and reinstalled all of the apps probably 15 times now.
Before the first reboot there isn't any problems. But after the first reboot all calls are sent straight to voicemail untill I toggle data.
Sorry for the huge block of text.^
I am up for trying anything.
Please let me know what you can think of.
Thanks again.
Don't know if it will help, but it won't hurt.......You could flash back to a sense rom, update your Data Profile and grab the latest PRL update while you're there.
did yo recently change something or was this how it work since flashing new rom?
Thanks everyone for the suggestions on how to fix it.
I think I may have fixed it by installing the AdFree app from the market and updating the hosts with the IP 127.0.0.1.
So far it hasn't sent any calls directly to voice mail, so it appears to be fixed.
Going to edit the title of the thread and add [solved].
Thanks again everyone.
That makes no sense. To have an ad block your access to calls after a fresh install? Sounds like you might have a program installed disrupting your service if adfree solved it.
Your phone is possessed!!!

Hi All-- I really miss Tmobile wifi calling, and I have finally put together a system which works for me...so I thought I would share it if anyone is interested.
It works about as well as Wifi Calling did on my Tmobile Gs2.
I have found this to have two main benefits over the Groove IP method put together by codesplice here: (note: all credit goes to codesplice--he did the heavy lifting on this..I just modified his approach)
1) the call quality is a LOT better. a LOT LOT LOT better. Groove IP sucks.
2) with this method, calls will still ring through to your gmail (assuming you have it set up that way in google voice)
Download these apps to your phone:
CSIPSimple
Google Voice
Google Voice Callback (donate) (you can get it from the amazon appstore...not on the play store anymore for some reason)
Tasker (you need the newest beta, available here http://tasker.dinglisch.net/beta.html )
Secure settings
Download this file, unzip it, and put the files on your phone's SD card (tasker profiles):
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4nxPgKYHIDjbVN1b3IzNC0wd1E/edit?usp=sharing
Instructions:
1) Go to Callcentric.com and sign up for a free account. Write down your SIP number that it gives you (it will start with 1777)
2) also in callcentric, sign up for a free phone number. If you say that you live in the us, you have to pay for 911 access....
3) Open CSIPSimple on your phone. It will pop up with some questions about when you want it to work. I have mine set to ONLY be in use when I am connected to a wifi network. Then add an account. It will have an option for callcentric. Do that and sign in with your callcentric account (username is the 1777 number again).
4) Go to voice.google.com on your computer, go to the settings page, and add the new phone number that you got from callcentric (the phone number, not the 1777 number). It will call you to confirm the number...it should ring through to your phone! (note: under your regular cell number, choose 'edit>advanced>make sure that "Ring my other phones before going to voicemail " is checked)
--You have now set it up for incoming calls. If that's all you care about, you are done! Any call made to your google voice number will ring through to your phone via wifi calling.--
Now we're going to set it up to make outgoing calls
5) Open Google Voice Callback. Sign in with your account. In the settings, choose your new callcentric phone number as the callback number. That's it! you're set! now when you initiate an outgoing call, it will ring back to you, and you are good to go for free wifi calling!
--If you don't care about automating it, you can stop now.--
We're now going to set it up so that it works like WIFI calling, meaning that it a) turns on when connected to a good wifi network, b) turns off your cell radio when connected so you're not wasting battery, and c) it turns off automatically when you are not connected to wifi. We will do this with the miracle of tasker.
6) Make SURE you are on the latest beta of tasker. It is required for this to work!
You can find the newest beta here: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/beta.html
DL this zip file that I put together with my tasker profiles, unzip the files and put them on your SD card. Open up tasker and long-press on the 'profiles' tab. Choose import, and then import them.
Ze hu! You're done! Please let me know if it works--and I'm happy to try to help if it doesn't.
If it works for you, please click 'thanks'!

Note--the tasker profiles were put together originally by codesplice, and all credit for them goes to him, not me. You can find his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646755

The advantage of CSIPSimple over the native SIP client in JB is that CSIPSimple can be set to only operate when connected to wifi.
I hope this is useful for everyone--works great for me!

Just to clarify your method works only if someone dials the google voice number?
I mean that's fine, but I think a majority of folks are looking for T-mobile Wifi calling that ties in with their regular phone number and plan feature.
Re: [Guide] Wi-Fi Calling!
Your thread title is very misleading. Change it.

edit.. nevermind
I agree, the title should be called Voice Over IP. T-Mobile WiFi Calling is actually their product name.
But the guide is great! I use Google Voice too, but for my Sprint number because it is free full integration. But that's not really possible with T-Mobile, and its not free either. I just need a fix for my T-Mobile Nexus 4 so I can get service everywhere lol.
Re: [Guide] Wi-Fi Calling!
Op,
Welcome to n4 world. I saw your same post in nexus7 forum.
Your method may work well for n7 but not for n4 because of battery drain issue. Using this method over 3g, n4 will not last 12 hours. Its because callcentric doesn't support TCP.
IMO, this is only good for WiFi as the title suggests. But I agree that the title is misleading. When i first saw it, i thought you cracked tmo WiFi calling. OTOH, there are tons of threads on free WiFi calls.
There is another side effect for your outgoing calls. The callback method is equivalent to initiating a call from gv web app. Gv calls both parties. I have found that this adds close to .4 sec lag one way. Do an echo test at 909-390-0003. You will hear your voice after 1 second.

Issue with WiFi Calling Method
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the major issue I see with this method is that it requires an active cellular connection for an outgoing call. For me (and I'm sure may others) the need is to be able to send and receive calls with no cellular coverage. Personally, with a lab/office in the basement of a building, having any coverage is not feasible, regardless of carrier.
Is there any workaround/alternate plan that would solve this issue?
Edit: At first, it was saying I needed to disable airplane mode, but once I reconfigured the CSIP and the callback app, it worked even on airplane mode. I guess the GV Callback (now called Voice+ in the Play Store) intercepts the call and initiates the callback via WiFi.
Thanks for the guide. This will work as a workaround until TMO Wifi Calling gets ported to the N4.
I use talkatone, really good sound quality

I use Skype, $3 per month for unlimited US and Canada calls. For outbound calls and text you can use your own phone number. For inbound you can not, but you can probably set up some kind of redirection. I never gave it a thought, because I never needed it
So no one has an alternative to WIFI calling?
By this I mean, being able to recieve calls from anyone with my phone number just like TMo Wifi calling when I don't have any mobile signals?

I setup call forwarding when not reachable (**62*PhoneNumber#) to my google voice/hangouts number. I don't have too many opportunities to test this, but it seems to work.

So how does that work? It calls your phone number and when it seems you have no signla and therefore cannot be reached, it dials your google voice number when then dials your phone? Have you checked to see if it works when you have no tmobile signal?
I tested this in a couple of ways. First, I switched to airplane mode and turned wifi back on. I had someone make a phone call to my t-mobile number. It came through on hangouts, the quality was great etc. I think the calling party did not see a delay in the call being answered. Of course, I knew that the call was coming so I answered quickly; but I think t-mobile system saw that the phone is not registed with any tower and forwarded the call to google voice right away. I repeated this test at least a couple of times.
The second test was a "real" one, in a building which does not have t-mobile signal. This test was only a partial one because I was in a meeting, so I could not answer. But the phone rang (vibrated actually) and the calling party got a google voice answering machine.
I also had a couple more accidental, partial tests. There is a stretch of the road near my house where the phone switches between two towers, neither tower has a good signal and calls are dropped when I drive/walk through there. So I recently received two calls in that area. The calls came on hangouts; there was no sound when I answered but at least I got the call and caller's name. I think the following happened: when the initial call came the phone was in the dead zone and the call was forwarded to google voice. By the time it came through on hangouts, the connection was restored but was not fast enough for voip call. Now that I think about it, I got another accidental test at home -- while I have a good signal at home, on some rare occasions my phone does not ring; so recently a call came through hangouts while I was at home and everything worked fine.
I should mention that when I started doing this, I was under impression that the forwarding setting occasionally resets to default (no-forwarding) on its own. But now it looks like the setting stuck permanently and I don't need to check/reset it anymore.
Yes, use Google voice/google hangouts dialer.
Make and receive calls from google hangouts.
You can setup a google voice number for free as well. you can use it to receive calla directly and/or to call from.

Hello Folks,
I'm having a strange issue on WhatsApp, whenever I make a call on WhatsApp connected to Wifi it works just fine, when using my data connected to LTE network I see WhatsApp call coming in but unfortunately I'm unable to receive it means even though I press Answer / Decline call button doesn't respond !! Same thing happens when i call back, the recipient gets the call but they don't hear anything from my side.
I did check all the permissions for WhatsApp and its all enabled, this is driving me crazy. Anyone having similar issue? Any thoughts / suggestions ?
I am having the same issue. Did you find a solution to this?
