Hello, I have a quick question but I did not know how to search for it in the forum as it will provide way too many search results, and I dont know if anyone has asked it before.
I basically have a plan that gives me free calling after 5pm, so is there anyway to let the phone automatically reject incoming calls, but not txts, before 5pm on weekdays, and accept all of them on weekends?
Help is greatly appreciated
not sure about the rules where you live but here
you never pay to recieve calls
only when you make them
so even if my balance is 0 and i can't send sms's or make calls
i can always recieve them

No , but there are comm managers that will let you manually switch off the phone during the day and switch it back on after five
You can configure to receive or reject calls using any of the comm managers out there....but you wont be able to feed in timelines to running those requests. Your best bet would be to set it and apply it manually when required.
I know I can turn off the phone (airplane mode) but I would like to just reject calls, but still be able to recieve and send SMS. As far as I know, if i turn off the radio, then I wont be able to send or recieve SMS either. I'm using Garmin's V8 LITE BTW.
I thank you for the help so far!
I'd use SPB phone suite. It has an option to reject all incoming calls only. Of course msgs and all other services are still active.

That's perfect! thank you very much
Still not getting why you'd want to reject incoming calls, as I've never seen a plan where you'd pay for those...
The free calls after 5pm applies to the calls YOU make, those you receive are always free. And the solution to that is watch the time before calling someone

In Canada, even if you accept the calls, it will take away from minutes that you have. it's ridiculous, I know. But I have unlimited incoming/outgoing calls after 5pm. So I have a voicemail set up, and I have unlimited txting package that i'll use until it becomes 5pm
thats crazy, iv never known people getting charged for receiveing calls unless they were international calls (ie between countries)!
Me either, first time I hear about such a thing! Wow sorry for you, you're being ripped off up there!!
Oh I know lol I was shocked when I came to Canada and heard this...so much for the Great White North
Hi, gang. I've been surfing the forum silently for a little while and got my G1 all rooted and hacked the other night. It's been awesome and thus far I've been able to resolve any issues I've had in the process.
This one is throwing me off but I know someone has run into it before. Sometimes when someone calls me, they say that it rings twice and then goes to voicemail. I never get any missed call notification or anything. It's like the call never existed. After testing, I found that data transfer is taking precedence over voice data when they both try to come through at once. It's really annoying!
Does anyone know of a way to reverse the importance of these 2 things? Obviously I want to receive my calls if they happen to arrive when data is transferring. My phone constantly accesses some sort of data throughout the day (only texts and email).
For reference:
- White T-Mobile G1
- ROM: OpenEclair v1.2.1 BACONWEAVE
Thanks in advance.
No one else has run into this? A friend said I could try a wipe and re-flashing the ROM and see if that works. I'm thinking of going back to Cyanogen and seeing if the problem occurs with that.
Roaming in Citrus Springs?
Check Settings/Wireless & Networks settings/Mobile network settings/Data roaming. The choice is to connect to data services when roaming. This should not be selected.
Regards
David,
I totally overlooked that setting. Before my phone was rooted, I apparently had disabled this but failed to do so after modding. I just tested it by loading a website in the browser and making a call to it while it was loading. The call came through without a hitch!
Thanks a lot. I had searched high and low but no one ever mentioned this. I thought I had already tried it actually, but I was wrong. Much appreciated.
Okay, apparently it was only a partial fix. If wifi is enabled, the web browser just defaults to using that (obviously). When I disabled wifi and loaded a webpage while calling the phone, the call went to voicemail after 2 rings and never showed up on my phone.
I've never had this happen before. I've only seen this after flashing everything required to root the phone. It's not a huge deal but it baffles me. I guess when you're not on 3G, it only allows data through if both voice and data are trying to transfer at the same time.
I recently switched from an iPhone 5 to the One Dev Edition. After having some signal issues, I went to AT&T, got a microSIM, they switched me an Android data plan, etc. But I'm still having an issue where I can't reliably send and receive calls, especially from my desk at work. I can dial the number and hit Call but that's it. No ringing, nothing. Just dead air, then the "call" ends. If the call does go through, I can hear the other person but they can't hear me. Same thing when receiving a call. I'll hear them but they can't hear me. Sometimes my phone won't ring and it just rolls to voice mail. I can see the signal switching from LTE to H, etc, and I have practically full bar strength. I just don't understand why the calls aren't going through.
Is this an issue with the phone itself? Something with AT&T? Is there a newer radio firmware I can try flashing? I didn't have any issues with the iPhone 5, and I even had my coworker put his iPhone into field test mode so we could compare the numeric signal and they're about even, though the iPhone usually does have a slightly better db signal. I really like the One but not being able to send or receive calls while at my desk is a deal breaker.
Thanks!
From the sounds of it, you are running the stock firmware still? Any root or other possible modifications? If you answered Yes then no to those questions, I would head back to the AT&T store and have them try it out, if anything they should be able to take your SIM card and put it into another Android device and see what happens.
What about text/data, do those work?
You said mainly at your desk you notice this issue, so does that mean it happens at other places as well, same symptoms (full bars, allows to send call then nothing?) You may just be the lucky contestant with a defunct unit, HTC should be able to help you out.
I would suggest first going to AT&T store, try out their suggestions, then if anything give HTC a call/email to see if they can be of any help. At this point I would stay away from flashing custom radios as they may void your warranty then you will really be up $hit creek.
Sounds like att.
I had this problem with tmobile once. The signal wasn't strong enough and it wouldn't call.
Some please are spotty.
Something is wrong with your phone. That should be obvious. Of course the vast majority of people who got this phone can reliably make and receive calls or it would be the biggest mobile phone bust in history.
Sorry to be blunt but you already know it's not the signal so it has to be a defect in the phone.
Thanks for the suggestions. This is the stock Dev Edition ROM. I haven't made any changes other other than just installing apps.
I haven't made a lot of calls but I don't seem to have an issue any where else.
No issues with LTE. Data has been fine.
I wasn't sure if AT&T would assist since this is the Dev Edition but that's worth a shot to have them run some tests on it. Otherwise I'll try to get a replacement (or refund) from HTC.
Thanks!

I've had an issue twice now where I can't make or answer voice calls. When I answer I get nothing but silence, and the other person says it keeps ringing, and when I call I get nothing but silence (no ring or anything on my end, but it does ring for the person I'm calling.). I updated to the OTA after getting it yesterday, and things seemed to be fixed, but today it is doing it again. I have great signal (both LTE and the older network), IMS registered, and not roaming. Has anyone else had this problem? It is extremely frustrating.
Edit: Texts work, mobile data works, everything except calls.
I've noticed the call quality on 1X has been pretty poor. Also, I've had call roaming pop up a couple of times where I've never had any problems in the past. I haven't experienced exactly what you describe tough. We need VoLTE, and we need it quick.
It's still going today. I'm going to take the phone back to Verizon. Completely unacceptable.
Update: Verizon swapped out two SIMs and still couldn't figure it out. Sending me a brand new one.

I have been having issues on my S8 (regular stock image from Verizon) since they pushed out an update in January. So far the only way that Verizon has found to fix the issue is to turn off Advanced Calling. This is a crap work around because you then lose the ability to use data (can't use email, internet, calendar, etc). They gave me a new phone, swapped out the sim card, then I spent 1.5 hours on the phone with them trying to resolve it. Still having the issue. My wife is seeing it too. The guys at the verizon store are also seeing it, because as soon as you mention it, they turn off advanced calling. I love the phone otherwise. Is anyone else seeing this? Any fixes?
I had a lot of dropped or missed calls and turned it off. Since then no problems with missed or dropped calls.
It's basically that verizon hosed the advanced calling in the "security" update and we've got to turn it off until they fix it. I spent three hours today chatting with them. I get the Remote Call prompt. All related.

So just disable it on the phone? Can we still use wifi calling? Thanks
