one phone number cant call me - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

dear SIII fans,
well am a new user after being 7 years with Sony, and am soo happy with my SIII. but i have a weird weird problem need tiny help from you.
i can receive calls and make calls properly but my friends number cant call me, always gives him that my line is busy and i dont get a notification if he called or not.
can anyone help me. what can i do??
thanks allllll

Do you use Google voice at all? Could you have possibly blocked him on accident? A screen on and didn't realize and just happened to touch that specific key sequence? Stranger things have happened.

no i dont use google voice, and if i blocked him, what shall i do?

Call carrier or go to online site and check. Could be his phone too. Do you use youmail?

Texting option

Hey when I receive an email with a phone number I usually click on it to bring me to the phone at which point I use the send text option. I do not see that option on the phone/contacts/dialpad screen of the Evo Lte. Am I missing something or is that option been disable with the dispute with Apple?
This is a result of Apple's overly broad patent. If you wish to get rid of it, and are rooted at least, head over to development and you'll find the forum to get rid of it.

Wiped dalvik cache and rebooted. Still no go.
The texting option is now an icon next to the phone number. i am not sure if this is what you are referrig to/missing.
This is what I have when I click on a phone number. I don't see an texting icon.
This is now what I get also. It worked for a little while now I can't get it to so it again.

S Voice not working, won't always speak ???

S voice doesn't always want to talk, and yes Voice Prompt is turned on.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Same with driving mode text to speech, wont always talk. I've installed the voice synthesis software, what is wrong?
Anyone else having this issue?

Same behavior here.
I call it the Vlingo Disaster. This S-Voice bs was just as buggy on Epic Touch (sgs2 for Sprint). It's just a buggy piece of crapware.

There was a fix for GB roms for Epic Touch - replace the vlingo.apk (or something like that, don't remember exact name) with a google voice dialer app (name the same as the one being replaced). I wonder if it still works...
Try reading the OP of this thread, see if changing those settings helps.

@nabbed, how would changing the name of an app before install (which would fail on a lot of apps) help, when the app is installed, svoice will not use that just because it was named what the original app file was named, dosnt work that way.

Sorry, I forgot to add a link, please look again, and read that OP in that thread I linked to.... But like I said, just because you change the name of an app, dosnt mean its called upon by svoice. Now if you unistall vlingo it will use what ever you have installed, no matter what the name of the app is....... Now onto why other apps won't work when the name is changed, well the problem there would be the checks made by the installer to see if anything was messed with, verification checks. That's not true on most google apps, but paid apps, well you may have an issue if you change the name. Just giving some clarification is all.

I don't know what you are talking about. Sorry, you make little sense, if any at all..
I'm confused at both people above
Any other suggestions?....
Again, S Voice works, as in it listens to me and searches for what I ask, but about 90 percent of the time she fails to talk back to me.
For example I'll say set alarm, maybe one in 10 times she will respond spoken, the other 9 times she stays quiet. The phone is not on mute, voice prompt is turned on.

The link was for an Epic 4G Touch, you're saying it will fix the voice issue on a Galaxy S3?
Yes, because what thats doing is changing your tts settings, these are universal, and not phone specific.

SMS fail

I've been having two major problems with my S3. Aside from the unstable data, now the sms stopped working, I can no longer send/receive text messages. I checked the settings and found out my message center number is blank, not sure if it has something to do with it, if so does anyone know the message center number for straight Talk at&t sim? Thanks for all the help!
Ps. I am on the wanamlite rom v2.2
Call customer care of atnt and ask them for sms service center num. Its a must. It shoudnt be blank. As for data it can be a network problem or software or hw related. You have to check wether cnctn is stable on other atnt phn. If yes then flash a stock rom see if that solve prob. If no goto service center and ask them to look through

I believe going to Backup Plus and deactivating it will work. If not you can try this:
Go to your my Verizon account, remove all email addresses from your vz backup feature in "manage email settings", hit apply. You will then get a text saying VZWUEP: DELETE. This confirms the texts should stop.

Thats the way I got mine to stop when I first found out how to shut it off. Maybe see if you can turn the entire feature off or try Googling and see if you can find a new way. I havent disabled it in quite a while.

I just downloaded a SMS blocker that seems to be working. I don't know very much about the guts of the device to go in and change a bunch of letters and numbers around just yet. So I done it the easy way. Thanks for the advice though.
I activated Verizons manage safe guards settings but when I tyres to add the 6250 # it would let me because it wasn't a ten digit #

The trick, although i know you will hate to do it. You actually have to call Verizon and have them remove backup completely from your account. I do so much flashing i would get this all the time. That seemed to turn out to be the only fix. The text is from the server asking they phone, Hey are you there and do you have time to update your backup file? When they turn it off at the server, it no longer sends the remote assistance request.
There is something that can be altered to stop it from happening. I'm going to try to get in touch with the dev who did it and see if he'll tell me his secret.

Anyone use VuTalk?

I bought g2 the next day it came out, and did not know this vutalk feature existed until yesterday while playing around with both of my and my girlfriend's g2.
Now we doodle around with this thing whenever we get a chance and me like it ;p
But the sad thing is i dont have any other people on my contact list that i can vutalk with except my girlfriend...
Anyone use this at all?

To disable it (and you can do this without root) go into settings - general - apps - all and scroll all the way down to the bottom. You will find vutalk there. Press on it and disable it. And yes it will remain disabled even after reboot.

We are getting off-topic...but, i'll answer
Viber needs only a few KB/s (or MBs for calls) . Other apps need more ( i don't use and don't know about what's up)
It doesn't need an account. (for hangouts you need to have your friends gmail / fb needs ...fb accounts )
And you can do some funny staff. Draw/emoticons/sound clip
