[Q] Phone keeps asking me do I want to answer - Motorola Photon 4G

Does anyone know why when someone calls me my phone tells me to press 1 if I want to answer the phone or 2 if I want to send a voicemail????

Sounds like Google voice to me...

but I uninstalled it lol wtf

You may have to go on the website to deactivate it from your number, in the settings. Thats what I had to do.

Thanks that's what I did

[Q] Accessing Voicemail on Atrix Issues

Hello All,
I used to have an iPhone 3G, where my voicemail was easily available via the dialer. I have not checked my voicemail since I've bought my Atrix 4G (which has been over a month). I'm not sure if rooting, and theming may have screwed up my settings or not, but I attempt to access my VM and it asks me for a mailbox #. WTF?!? I never EVER recall setting up one, as far as I know it was just there and tied to my phone. I was able to access my VM by calling my phone number from my cell, but now I attempt to do that and I get a busy signal.
A tad frustrated, so sorry for the crazy rant above. Has anyone else experienced the same/similar situation? And if so, is there a way to fix it? I don't want to result in calling Customer Service/Tech Support for ATT until I've attempted to troubleshoot things here, since they will probably ask me "have you done anything to your phone" and I'll have to be like, "Yes, I attempted and succeeded in making it better from your and Moto's BS filled phone."
Thanks all for your time!
Press and hold the #1 on the keypad for vm.
If it asks for a mailbox number, you will have to call AT&T.
This is typical for users going from visual voicemail to standard voicemail.
Some AT&T reps forget to reconfigure your vm.

I thought anybody with a Google phone would know to use Google Voice.
When you cone from iPhone they cancel your VM. You have to get them to set it up again, then you can use it.

They don't forget to reconfigure it, they actually cancel it. They just forget to add it back for your plan.

This is what I use, but it doesn't hurt to have the carrier's VM to fallback on.

[Q] Why cant I make calls or nothing after rooting?

After I rooted my phone i cant recieve calls or text
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
when you try to make a call it should redirect you to sprint and get a hold of somebody and tell them your problem and make up a bs story about u put aireplane mode on and now your data is F'd up.
they will push data reset or something to your phone and your all good.
there's many threads on this
Thank you n sorry for making a new thread I was just worried about what happen

Evo dials wrong number

Ok this is kind of a weird question but i hope someone can help. When i dial my girlfriends number sometimes my phone actually calls a different number. When its dialing her number her picture and number are on my screen but my phone dials this random number that i dont even have saved in my phone. It normally only dose it when her phone is off or has no service. Its always the same number and when the person calls me back there number shows up on my screen. My phone is not rooted. Dose anyone onow what calls this
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Strange. If this is a common issue, I'm sure they will roll out an OTA fix. If it isn't, I would take it to a sprint store to get it looked at.
My girlfriends phone is the problem other people have tbe same issue when callin her sumtimes. I really dont know what to say to sprint when i take it in. I guess turn her phine off and dial her # and let sprint see it

Check her forwarding settings. You said you get this when her phone is off. Somebody is probably pranking her and set her forwarding on and some random number.

answering phone issue.

Hey everyone.
I've been having some issues with answering calls. Whenever I get an incoming call I trap answer and a voice comes on saying press 1 to accept or press 2 to send to voicemail. I don't like this at all! Does anybody know how to return it to normal? I had it for awhile in my OG Evo days but now it's annoying with the unreliable proximity sensor.
Thanks in advance!

do you happen to use google voice? because if so i think you have to go into the google voice setting in the app and set it to not be used for calls.

I did once. Come to think of it, it started happening after I installed it. About 2 weeks after though I flashed a new rom and haven't installed it since. I don't want to use google voice, but if I install it then where would I go to fix this?
Thank you for helping!

If you install it and skip all the sprint integration and whatnot, once it's set up all you have to do is go into settings and I believe it's the second thing in the list. It's very hard to miss it haha

[Q] can't activate

Hello everybody, this is my first post although ive been here for some time.great forum. I am sorry if this is in the wrong section but i have looked every where and cant find anything to what im going thru? I recently traded my galaxy s3 for a note 2 on verizon that was flashed to tmobile and then reflashed to verizon. Everything works perfect (i am even typing this from the gn2) except this phone absolutely will not activate on verizon network. I spent 3 hours in a verizon store and also on the phone while in the store with a verizon tech, he tried everyrhing even multiple sim cards and told me that there were now too many orders aginst the phone and that it should clear up by morning. I did what they said and tried again in the morning and it still wont activate im afraid i just traded for a junk phone but samsung told me they can reflash it if i send it to them but that will be a week or more without a phone, is there anybody that can help me or at least point me in the roght direction? Thanks alot guys!

Hi, yeah if i put the sim card in it just keeps trying to activate, it will even make a call to verizon and youll hear the voice say "please wait while your phone is activated" then makes a beep noise and hangs up. I can only use this over wifi no verizon network, no 4g or voice. My network says unknown in settings also. Activation just repeats itself until it finally gives me the mwssage "were sorry we are having trouble activating your phone please call*********** from a differwnt phone. Thanks

Okay just checking the problem. First, there shouldn't be any flashing to go to tmoble just putting in a sim. Si to make sure you are truly stock Verizon, follow section 1b here using the official download.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34891181
Also check in your phone status to make sure your imei is still there and correct. If not

Sorry i am not technical but have read and read here to try to figure this out. Thanks for looking into this

And I'm assuming they have you a new sim and you've tried another person's sim. By the way they did make sure the imei isn't blocked right

This is sounding more like a network problem then phone. Try this may seem weird, but unlock and flash a couple ROMS. I've seen people say that they had a similar problem and it went away after a flash. He specifically flashed AOKP
I would also re flash the modem specifically
Im not crazy

If It didn't work try calling Verizon again and ask for tier 2 tech support. Maybe they can think of something else or at least send you a new phone

Ive done that the tier 2 tech finally just called samsung and got them to tell me they will repair it since it is still under the 1 year warrwnry but I have to send it to them, im just afraid they may find out that the fella I got it from flashed it to another providor (thats what he told me anyway and had to flash back to verizon) and then tell me to pay alot of money, I do have ins from verizon on it but they dont seem to wanna go thru that since I got it from another person. Also 99.00 is cheaper than what samsung would charge I would think?
