No Auto-Forwarding on phone? - LG V40 Questions & Answers

Hi all, just picked up the LGV40..I see there is no Auto Forward? Ive had it on my Samsung phones before, but not this one. Id like to be able to FWD calls and texts to my new Galaxy Watch so I can leave the phone in the glove box when riding or when I dont want to carry it around ( and still be able to recieive calls and messages)
I called T-Mobile and they were able to get it to FWD on their end....But only they can control it...(Stupidest thing I've ever heard of)...There has to be a way for the end user to turn it on/off I would think.
Any Help is greatly appreciated...perhaps an APP even to do it?
Thank You

[Q] Hands-free mode not reading out texts right??

Hey all. So just picked up an ibolt dock for my note 3. Great little dock. Anyways Im finally joining modern times by having sound in my car from my phone... anyways Im experimenting with the HandsFree mode but when I get a text it tells me the name of the sender but not the body of the text. It then shows a msg "i can't start voice recognition while you're talking on the phone".
I tried this with my phone normal and just turned Hands Free mode on and still the same. After it says the senders name it says something about how I can reply or cancel however me speaking doesnt seem to do anything
What am I missing?
Thanks!

[Q] HELP with Samsung S5

I'm a new member so if I do something wrong, I'm sorry. Let me warn you I'm not at all tech savvy either, but I believe someone here can help me. I own a 2013 Jeep Wrangler with Uconnectivity. I purchase a Samsung s5 in June when my s3 failed on me. I synced the new phone and all was well EXCEPT I couldn't get text messages through the Uconnect service. I did research and found this was because of AT&T not wanting their customers to text and drive. ( not their business, but anyway) After the last update I believe in August, I can no longer use the Uconnect service with my phone. What's really crazy is Uconnect sees my phone, they hear me asking for the call to go through. The call is placed and at that point, my speakers no longer are engaged? All goes mute in the car even though the call is going through. I spent all day yesterday at the Jeep facility. My system is perfect, except for my phone??? And to be sure I was not being given a line of bull I tried to use my phone on other Jeeps and vehicles in their lot, no go, yet they can use their phones in my Jeep with out issue. I tried contacting AT&T, their response is it's the Jeep. It's not the Jeep. Does anyone have an idea why my phone suddenly mutes Uconnect when the call is being connected? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Same problem
I am having the same problem as you, oddly enough, my AT&T Galaxy S5 use to work with the Jeep. I switched to Verizon and was giving her my AT&T device, so I did a factory reset, and now that phone will show as connected but does not play music or call audio through the car speakers. This is extremely frustrating and any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. AT&T updated my Galaxy S 5 to 4.4.2. I am not sure if that was what I was using when I first purchased or if that is an update, but if there is an android version that will fix my issue, I have no problem rooting my phone etc.

SMS Delay and Voice Failure? [Tencent Version Problems]

Please excuse me if this post is a bit off, this is the first time I have posted here.
I really didn't want to pony up the $1000 for the full version of the ROG Phone II, so I got the Tencent version. I didn't realize it had band compatibility issues with T-Mobile. After having the phone activated, I was told I probably wouldn't be able to get 4G or LTE on it. Not really the end of the world for me as I don't stream video and don't pay for lots of mobile data anyway.
Then I started to have some weird issues. I don't regularly receive SMS messages. If I do get them, they come hours or days late. Sometimes I get them instantaneously, but 2FA has been a real pain in the ass as those messages usually don't arrive. SMS from another phone pretty much never arrives.
I also don't receive phone calls. I will just get notified that I have a new voice mail and that's about it. Sometimes the phone calls go through, but I can't even estimate the failure rate on that one as I don't get allot of phone calls and most don't leave voicemails. I do get phone calls more often than I receive texts, but my wife did call me 11 times before see just got a hold of me via a non-sms messaging app.
As T-Mobile likes to relay heavily on VoLTE, and I know it doesn't work on this phone, I have tried taking it off of Wi-Fi just to see if I can get something to go through. I haven't been scientific about my testing, but I have yet to notice a difference on Wi-Fi or off.
I really don't know how to proceed about doing diagnostics on this phone. I really don't know enough about how SMS or Voice works to go forth and work it out. It is not beyond my ability to root my phone or proceed with using non-carrier distributed Android, I'm not just not certain I want to take that plunge without knowing more about what I have to do.
So here's my quandary:
Should I abandon the Tencent ROG Phone II and just sell it at a loss? Or should I troubleshoot this problem, and dive down the rabbit hole of custom Android, rooting my phone, attempting to get back VoLTE, actually getting updated to Android 10, and being able to use the LTE bands?
Thanks for reading this far. Do appreciate any help you can give.

Unread Text Messages showing up on watch....but already read on phone

Hey all,
I have the LTE version of the watch 3. I have both bluetooth, WiFi & mobile all turn 'on'. When I walk away from my Samsung phone far enough, it disconnects bluetooth and then connects to mobile network.
This is great and all...but then all my past text messages from a conversation that i have already read (on my phone) from friends start popping up on my watch as if the messages were new.
Each message that gets updated causes the watch to 'beep'. So literally the phone is beeping like crazy. One episode i had, it beeped around 50 times as it was updating the watch with "new" messages.
I looked everywhere on help menu, online, etc...to see if there was an option to stop this...but came up empty handed.
Does anyone know how to make this stop?
I DO NOT want to disable bluetooth or mobile connection on my watch as a "work around". That kinda defeats the purpose of why I bought this LTE watch.
Please help!!!
Thanks
Hi @Maxwell_7007 - I'm having this exact issue. Did you ever find a resolution?

Help with LTE galaxy tab active 2 phone text etc

I'm new here joined hoping to get clued in,
I have a new to me tab active 2 and it suits my needs and I like it but I am a bit confused over a lot of different information I run into,
In my case I'm using a tello sim for service which is good for my area and the sim came with a phone number I assumed from online reading i could make calls and use the tab for text but it would seem I can not tello said my device doesn't support voLTE so I hope some of you gurus can tell me what I can and can't do with this tab call and text wise perhaps suggests apps,
I do not make many actual calls so in most cases I can use Facebook messenger call feature if it's a friend but what about that once in a while I need to call a restaurant or car parts store etc I'm I simply out of luck making such calls on this device?
And so does that also rule out text messages, for example if i wanted to use that tello number so a craigslist buyer seller could hit me is that out of the question too on this device?
Many thanks,
Bats
