# Rings Incoming Calls

Hi,
I have a CDMA Touch from Telus Mobility in Canada.
The issue I am having is # rings with incoming calls.
I am using latest Jawbone Bluetooth headset, when I have an incoming call, I receive 2 rings and calls goes to voice mail.
I have called HTC Support and Telus support, they have no solution.
Is there a setting to modify the number of rings for incoming calls?

If you're talking about the number of rings before the voicemail kicks in, yes there is a solution if your phone number is in Alberta or BC.

I dont know what Alberta or BC is...
but on my phone i do it like this...
Start->Settings->click phone->'Services(dono if it's called this, second tab)
There is a list, in that list there should be (again, dono the english word) 'forward to'
click Get Settings...
now u can set the number of secunds before it connects the call to voicemail..
with the intervals 5,10,15,20,25,30 seconds (at least with my phone provider)
hope this helps

thanks nisse thats very helpfull.
by the way forward to is call forwarding.

Excellent!!

3 rings delay in incoming call
Hi,
This might be due to another related issue:
There is delay of 3 rings before the diamond actually starts ringing.
i.e, after the caller has heard 3 rings, only then the diamond starts ringing, and by the time you pick the call, there will be many rings and it will go to answer phone as usual.
As soon as there is an incoming call, the light starts blinking. But there is a delay in the ringer/vibrate. You can try this out by calling from another phone.
This might be cause for your issue.
I too am having the same problem, and I'm searching for a solution. Maybe some cab which fixes the 3 rings dealy in incoming call... I'm sure there must be some such cab. Still going through the threads in the forum.
Could anybody please point us to a fix if you know...
Thks,
Sandeep

I've got the same problem on my touch pro..
It's even worse actually - I'm experimenting, but it seems like half the time the phone *never rings* when wifi is on and if it's asleep...
What the???

I think that he's referring to the 3 second delay built into most phones. On earlier devices this was fixed by changing the polling time in the phone programming. (often referred to as the Slot Cycle Index). I haven't tried it on my Diamond as I haven't noticed that much of a lag.
Since I was thinking about it, I decided to try. I changed my SCI from 2 to 0.
I did look and found that I don't have that "Forward to" option in my phone settings. Probably a provider change.

Delay answering incoming phone calls?

Every time my wife calls she says she can't hear me for perhaps 2-3 seconds after I think the call has connected.. My previous phone did not do this, but the Nexus One does.
Anyone heard of this, and have any suggestions? I have Google Voice call on by default, but she's calling my cell number so I don't think it'd affect anything. As far as I can tell, the call is connected, but she can't hear me say anything for several seconds. I usually wind up going "Hello? Hello? Hello?" and she finally answers.

Glad to see I am not the only one this happens to..well not glad but i just hope this means its not just my phone.
I know when they call one of my numbers (either Google Voice or Cell Phone # not sure which) it says incoming call from <Name> press 1 to answer and press 2 to send to voicemail

@sandtiger
this is from google voice it is a filter setting you can change by going to to the setting on the google voice website.
But this is a different issue (im assuming) then the OP

Yeah, I think I muddied the waters mentioning Google Voice, but these are calls directly to me cell number..
I might try disabling Google Voice just for S&G just to see what happens.. Seems when I place calls, they're connected when I expect them to be, but the delay could be more critical when answering.
I haven't yet, but going to try calling myself from my work phone to see what kind of delay I'm hearing.

I am having this problem also...did you ever find a solution?

Using BT headset by any chance?
In that case, it's normal.

Nope, no headset. Just the phone.

I need to test some more, but I think this has gone away for me.. Delay answering, plus the other party was "dropping out" often, ie: if it got quiet on their end, their voice disappeared entirely, and sometimes faded in or out while doing so.
Only thing I've changed is I disabled Google Voice as being my default call method, but this thread is about answering calls so I doubt it matters, especially since the calls were directly to my cell number not my GV number.
I might turn GV back on the way I had it and test some more, but maybe it was something weird with AT&T?

Im noticing this problem too, both on 2.1 and 2.2.
It seems to be a problem specific to AT&T N1's.

I also experience this. I've adjusted to swiping the answer button, pausing, then saying "Hello." I typically pause about 0.75 or 1 full second, and rarely do I need to do it longer.
The opposite seems to be true of the vibrate-on-connect feature: about 1 second after the person picks up, then the phone vibrates in my hand. How is that useful?! =P

Google Voice with Moto "talk to me" not working

Moto assist doesn't seem to work correctly with Google voice, or at least I can't get it working. I mostly want it to read my text messages to me when I'm driving, but it only seems to work with my carrier number (which nobody knows because I have used my Google voice number for so long). Of course other features would be nice to get working too, but that is the main one I want. Does anyone know how to make this work?

I use GV also and have the same thing that you do

You now just say "what's up"

Does the reading of texts while driving work with hangout messages?

I really hope they fully integrate it with Google Voice. Actually the deciding factor for getting this phone was the fact that it reads text messages to you while driving (my friend's car does it and it's pretty cool, my car just has the standard hone call bluetooth). I'll try the "what's up" method and see if that works...still not as convenient as it auto reading to me though.

My experience today was my Moto X answering my call while driving and I didn't hear the phone ring or prompt me it was a incoming call. The screen also didn't respond once I got home until I plugged it in and unplugged it again. It showed the battery 44% when the screen came back on.

I'm so glad at least a couple other people have the same issue I have. For so many people who own a Moto X + use Google Voice and now that it's all integrated I can't understand why so many people (including media sites) aren't complaining about this - especially with the new Moto X raving reviews.
I'll try to use the "what's up" method but it seems very silly to me.
Cheers

Does not work with Hangout messages either

I too hae the same problem as the OP.
While in "Talk to Me" mode my moto will verbally announce incomming phone calls, and incomming SMS to my carrier phone number.
The following do NOT result in moto voice verbally announcing (I only get the notification on the lock screen):
- SMS to my GV number.
- MMS (photo with caption) message to my carrier number.
- MMS (text to multiple recipients) message to my carrier number.
- Hangout messages.
Ok, so the photo... not sure how it should best handle that. But the others, I believe it should announce the same as SMS to the carrier phone number.

[Q] Drive not announcing incoming call but missed call

Hello,
wife's Moto X is connected to older VW bluetooth which only let's you dial through the phone or pick up incoming calls. That was the reason I got her the Moto x, so the drive assist would announce calls and she could place calls hands free. However, when a call comes in, it just rings, no announcement. When the call is not picked up, the phone then says "missed call from xxx". So drive is working somehow but not all the way. And when the "missed call from xxx" announcement is being spoken (and the screen goes black with the red microphone circle), the phone doesnt react to any voice input.
I upgrade and downgraded the assist app, didnt make any changes. I'm using the "having issues with bluetooth - other audio" option.
Any idea? Thanks a lot!

Have you been into the settings of assist and checked the boxes of the actions you want when you are driving? Also, is your GPS in high accuracy?

yes and yes. Drive assist shows up as symbol in the notification bar. And it runs because missed calls are being announced, just not incoming one's. Wife has replace the stock dialer, not sure if that makes a difference, because when I disabled it it was doing the same.

Try this: How to reset Motorola Assist

Thanks. I forgot to mention that I tried to clear cache etc. But reading through the comments from the link above, there are a lot of people having the same issue. I think I'll wait and see if the coming L update will fix things. Sounds like 4.4.4 update broke it for some. And I don't have much time fussing with the phone and car at the same time since it's not mine. But as of now, Assist seems useless and I could just use Google Now for the same functionality.

Google Assistant won't make calls on Galaxy A71

Hello everyone,
I sold my old iPhone 7 Plus to buy a brand new Galaxy A71 and I'm still getting used to it. On the Apple device I could make calls using Siri but here, I use the "Ok Google" feature and then "Call ---" and it opens the phone application, it dials the number but it won't make the call. I suspect I have something not configured (or misconfigured).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advice and sorry for the bad English.

Can you make a call normally by dialing? If OK Google gets that far will the call go through by hitting the phone icon? If you are looking for a hands free call mode you might try this app: Drivemode: Handsfree Messages And Call For Driving

Hello fellow Nokia 7 Plus owner
I tried what you described and it seems to be working on my end.
Have you checked permissions on Google app ?
What it should be needed is Call Logs and Telephone permission.

Oh, I misread iPhone 7 for Nokia 7. Ignore that ^^

I found the problem, here in Argentina, the number "112" (I don't know in other countries) is an emergency number, and for some reason, OK Google won't call any number starting with "112", If I save the contact as "+549112..." it would call.
