[Q] Phone goes to voicemail when someone is trying to call - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running Cezar's ROM Stable XXJPY no-voodoo (love it) and havent had any prblems besides this.
I am very new to using the samsung captivate along with the roms, modems, etc. and do not know a lot.
When someone trys to call me the first time, my phone goes straight to voicemail. When they try and call me again sometimes it works, sometimes it still just goes to voicemail. It shows I have service with the bars.
How should I go about fixing this?
EDIT: Now it won't even let me make calls. This was working fine this morning. However I can still send/receive text messages.
So does this mean it has something to do with the settings or maybe a program I downloaded?

i think its a setting you may have set up on accident. you may have set it up to send voice calls to voice mail...

When i go to voice calls it says:
always forward - disabled
forward when busy - voicemail #
forward when unanswered - voicemail #
forward when unreachable - voicemail #
Call waiting is enabled
Use call fail options is disabled
Is this how it is supposed to be or are one of those wrong?

Cool Call Fowarding Tool

Picture this:
Your sitting at work and someone is calling you.
Your work will fire you if you talk on your cell phone.
However, your work doesn't care if you talk on their corporate phones.
Cell Phone have a built in call forwarding feature.
What I would like to see is a an application that will run when there is an incoming call. I want it to pop up and give me the option to forward the call to my work phone number.
It would be nice to configure it to have multiple forwarding options.
For example:
If your sitting at home and you have poor reception, you want to take the call but you don't want to deal with the poor call quality, so you forward it to your home landline telephone..
If someone has seen and application like this:
Or feels like developing an application, it would be much appreciated.
Another option would be cool if worked with S2U2.
Thanks.
This would be awesome, is it doable? Since call forwarding is a net based service it probably don't work to use the net service. But if you make the app to handle it as a phone conference where you call up a third party, that should be possible?! DEVELOPERS, GET ON IT!
Can't you just input your work phone number as a call forwarding number in settings to call after not picking up after 4 or 5 rings. then when you get a call you get the option to ignore the call and then it will be forwarded to your work number automatically.
Or do only operators in the netherlands give you this option??
You can't forward call when there is an incoming call in progres, that can do only operator.
There is network service and network must have this information, so only u can use build in feature to forward, and as robstgter said u can use that after a specific time the call will be forwarded.

There is what you call, Forward on Busy, so when you hangup it just forward it to your number.
Are there any developers interested in working on this application/Function?

Well the problem is sometimes I would like to just ignore the call and send to voice mail.
Other times I would want to take the call, but I just want to hit foward to my work or home phone.
So I can talk on that line rather than my cell phone.
I wouldn't want it to always forward because I'm not always at work to answer the phone.
However, maybe there could be a easy way of completing this task by making an easy way to turn call forwarding off and on. The next thing to consider is the SMS (is it affected in a call forwarding environment or no?)

Yes and no.
I believe it takes just a second or 2 to update the call forwarding on your cell phone, through the settings, at least it use to be this way
SO: If the application ran, (pressing a button to forward) would just change the forward settings for you than after the 5 rings is up it forwards to the number desired.
I'm almost positive that the forwarding can happen after it rings because of this scenario:
You call someone, it rings 5-9 times then goes to voice mail. Well that voice mail is actually connected through a different phone number. Just like when you access your voicemail (for Californians) it dials a (909) 213-xxx number.. (which is nothing close to your cell phone number)

Yes, I agree the term is more of: Forward on Busy.

Stright To Voicemail

Is there an app that I can turn on that sends all calls to my voice mail, since sometimes I want to do stuff without being bothered and screen lighting up with a call.
Does the screen still lite up when I get a call despite it getting forward?

Your phone has a built in feature....shock horror!
It's called Call divert/Call forwarding in Call Settings on your G1.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Actually it's a network feature, the phone is just providing a GUI for it, the phone doesn't redirect any all calls, the network does it after so many rings, or immediately if you have it set to redirected.
it can be done from the diverts menu,
I also like to send individual contacts to voicemail from time to time if I still want my important calls to get through..

Google Voice Incoming Calls going Straight to Voicemail.

Anybody having this problem or have experienced it? If you have or know of a solution, could you help me out? Thanks.
All calls made to my GV goes straight to Voicemail. Not a single ring on the phone.
Oh, one weird thing is that I used to have my wife's number on GV as a secondary and weirdly all calls went to her number. I have since taken it off. could this be a clue?
I would try to look in your GV "settings. Check under "calls" tab and groups tab. Good luck
I bet 'do not disturb' is enabled
Yeah...checked all the settings...they all look good. 'Do Not Disturb' is unchecked. I did a bit of searching today...and it seems to be a GVoice bug.
WTF?!?! What the point of using it then? LOL.
go to google voice on pc and set your phone number to it.. it could be still set on your Wifes, also try to make call with it then try to call it and see if that will help out

Cool...I actually haven't made a call with it in a while...(maybe that's why...it's butt-hurt about me not using it to make calls?...LoL). My wife's number has been deleted off of it since I've been having this problem, but I'll try to make a call with it and see if that will make it work.
Thanks for the tips.
Okay. I had google voice for international calls only. I figured that it was for out going calls only. I guess that because of that setting the calls weren't getting through? I understood it as all calls would come through if my google voice number was called...hmmm...guess they should fix that

No outgoing calls on Google Voice after new update

I ported my main number to GV some time ago so I could forward my calls to any of my phones. On my personal cell I basically override the carrier assigned number by using GV for all calls and hangouts for text. Then came the HD calling update. I read the threads on fixing VM and followed the steps. I can receive calls on my GV # and they go to my GV VM when cleared or ignored, but when I try to make an outgoing call using GV it fails. It appears to be dialing some local number instead of the regular 800 # and i get a short message that the call failed and it hangs up. Anyone else having this issue or know a fix?
I was able to place a call using the Google Hangouts Dialer. I haven't used GV for awhile.

Problem is hangouts uses data to make calls. I stick w/ GV since it uses minutes and stays away from my data. I use hangouts for texts and video calls.
So i went back and tried again and i think it was an problem w/ the phone I was calling. I was calling my work cell phone to test which is also on my GV account (although currently not forwarding calls) and I got the error. Tried dialing to my wife and it seems to work fine. False alarm I guess, though not sure if I had this problem before testing to my other phone. Pretty sure I've used it before to test.
