Hey, O am having a little issue so I hope you guys can help me out. I am using the built in sip connectivity in the dialer that comes stock (I am using golden eye rom). I have it set to receive calls as well but I am having an issue that for some reason or another after a little while I can't receive calls unless I go into the settings and untick then retick the receive calls option. Any ideas how to solve this or maybe I missed a setting? I am using freecall for sip service since I have an account with them to make calls. Now, making calls works great and always works its just the receiving calls which sucks right now.. Look bellow to understand my full setup
Person Call my GV number -> GV rings IPKall number -> my phone should ring. Some times it does, like within 20 minutes of signing in but once I sleep my device its done.

I've had the Galaxy S2 for about 2 months now without any problems.
As of last Friday, I can't receive incoming calls. People who try to call me hear one beep and then they get my voicemail.
Outgoing calls work just fine, as does SMS (incoming and outgoing).
I've put my T-Mobile SIM in another phone and then it is able to receive a call. Another SIM in my phone -> same problem: no incoming calls.
So I figured it must be the phone.
Customer support has started an investigation but that can take up to 1 week, so I thought let's ask XDA.
Can it be a simple setting that I've accidentally changed? Pretty often when I take my phone from my pocket, the screen is unlocked so that could be a cause.
If anyone has a clue or an identical situation, please let me know.

Does your phone ring when a call comes in and also does it go straight through to your voicemail?

Straight to voicemail. But I've figured it out after 3 days
There's an option to automatically block all incoming calls in the settings. Must have accidentally been activated when the phone was in my pocket.

In my case, the phone does not ring when I get a call at all. I have searched hi and low and I cant find a solution. I have rebooted, i have reflashed, I have changed my ringtone and nothing seems to work, please help!!
Hello my girlfriends SGS 2 has almost the same problem it cannot receive calls sometimes even though she can call everyone. The problem seems to fix by itself sometimes and it appears random.
I read that there was a problem with the samsung galaxy s when using 2G/EDGE connection with data activated and the problem was that the user could not receive calls randomly.
Can you confirm that you are using 2G/EDGE connection and Data activated? I am also trying to find the cause of this problem...
Hope my research helps good luck and waiting for your reply. (http://www.samsunggalaxysforum.com/...eive-incoming-calls-and-sms-while-using-edge/)
Later EDIT ---
She also has a vodafone provider but i have the same provider and never had this issue. Also no call filtering is done.
Make sure Call Forwarding is Disabled under Settings- Call- Call forwarding. And also try to delete the Voicemail number if you had set any.
Regards.
it's nothing Call Forwarding is Disabled related it is because of EDGE connection you can't have a sync or internet connection and while "dialing" data receive calls if you want to call anyone the network prioritizes and let's you dial whoever you want but it is not the same thing for incoming calls
^ Went over my head !
had the same problem in a bad 3g/data coverage area. solution was simply to turn data off and the calls started to come through.
turned data back on and now working ok.
Hey guys,
I'm with Vodafone (Australia) and lately I've been working in my garage a fair bit where I don't have reception. During this time numerous people have called me, however I don't receive any notifications of missed calls at all. And when I go into phone log it doesn't show any call logs.
Is this a setting on the phone or should I contact Vodafone to get this sorted?
Cheers
Good question Jonno. I'm also with Voda & honestly couldn't remember if this feature was working properly or not as I haven't missed a call for ages (people know not to call me at unsociable hours when I have the phone switched off ).
Soooo...I plonked my mobile broadband sim into my Nokia backup phone, turned my SGS2 to flight mode (to mimic not having coverage), called it from the Nokia & let it ring half a doz times then hung up.
Switched the SGS2's radio back on & haven't received a missed call notification (it's been almost 5 minutes). I've searched high & low thru my call settings & can't find anything that would turn such a feature on/off so I'm betting it's a network related thing. I'll update this post if the missed call notification comes thru at any stage tonight.
Yeah I've never got any missed call notifications with the phone. I have people trying to get on to me regarding some recent job applications so it's not very useful if I miss their calls and don't know who to call back!
Might try calling Voda tomorrow to see if they know anything about it...
Jonno...The thick plottens
I was ferreting around in the dialer/call settings & had a look at the call forwarding settings. Basically, forward when busy/unanswered/unreachable is set to that Voda number people who try to call you get when you don't answer & it asks whether you want Voda's "call catcher" to txt the person you're try to call to let them know they missed your call (with the number to call back on).
When I try to disable this feature on any of busy/unanswered/unreachable it tells me the network doesn't allow the feature to be turned off. So it seems Voda thinks their way of people being able to notify you by txt when you miss their call is the best way (only way by the looks of it) for this situation to be handled.
So I'd say people obviously haven't been choosing the option to send you a notification txt (via Voda's call catcher) and have simply been hanging up when they've been unable to reach you.
I guess the only way to get around this is to tell people to use the send notification txt option or to simply send you a txt themselves to say they tried to call & couldn't get you.
Unless you want to have fun calling Voda's uber helpful support ?
After a bunch of clicking and rebooting I got auto call forwarding working when Bluetooth disconnects, but it's not what I expected. It's only forwarding calls when unanswered.
I want to walk away from the phone and leave it behind and have calls forwarded immediately, all calls. I thought that was the point of this feature. I don't want them to have to ring for 20 seconds.
Is there some way to make this happen? I noticed it changes the network settings for unanswered, busy, and unreachable to forward, but all call forwarding is never enabled by auto forward.

Nope, T-Mobile. Why? Are there ways around this on non-AT&T carriers?

You could try this
AT&T and T-Mobile both use the same method, which lets you change the number of rings right from your phone. To do it:
Dial *#61# from your phone. Tap Send.
You should see a new screen that displays a bunch of information about what's getting forwarded. You should see a line under "Voice Call Forwarding" that says "Forwards to +11234567890" (where 11234567890 is an eleven digit phone number, likely different from your phone number). Write down this number and tap Dismiss.
Now, dial **61*+11234567890*11*XX# and hit Send, where 11234567890 is the number that you found in step two and XX is the number of seconds you want to wait until voicemail picks up. You can set it in increments of 5, where 30 seconds is the maximum.
After you hang up that call, you can have someone call your phone and see if it worked. On some phones, you can dial *#61# again and see how long it's delaying your calls, but our test phone (the iPhone) did not show this information.
Alternatively, you should be able to call AT&T or T-Mobile customer service and have them change it from their end, if you're uncomfortable doing it yourself.
Another thing that may work for you is to get up a google voice number and just give people that number. Then you they call you, it will ring at both numbers and you wont have to use the call forwarding option.
If only I was not in an area were I cant port my current cell number over to google voice, i would have dont that years ago.

THIS is true I have google voice I haven't ported my number over but I get calls and text fine from both numbers
So while messing around with the settings for google voice and the gear s, I have found that if you activate google voicemail on your phone then the call forwarding option will not work when remotely connected to your gear. Calls forwarded TO the gear s work as they should. As soon as I deactivate google voicemail on my phone, and my phone & gear are connected remotely I have no issues with getting my calls from my main cell phone line forwarded to the gear. This is kind of a bummer cause I was hoping that i'd be able to use google voicemail and thier transcription service because tmo charges $3 per month for it. Womp comp. I rarely get voicemails so it's not the end of the world.

I have a call forwarding widget on my Note 3 that I use all the time. It instantly forwards all calls to whatever number you wish. Works great as when I'm in my office at work, I have it forwarded to my land-line, same at home, etc. I do this now on my Gear S too as like you, I don't want to have people wait through long numbers of phones ringing before it reaches me.

They both use the same conditional forward entry for your line. You can only have one. Not both. If you want to forward to Gear S, your own voice mail will never be reached. And vice versa.

I suppose, but honestly, it's not that hard to just get on the play store and look them up. They all function pretty much the same. The one I use is RedirectCall. All one word. Very simple and works great.
I couldn't get it to forward right away either. It's pretty simple to actually just forward the call to the Gear S manually. On T-Mobile devices dial **21*your ten digit number# then when you want to cancel it dial ##21# that's it works like a charm. I use tasker now to do it automatically and have had no hiccups. Although it would be nice if it just worked correctly through gear manager.
My call forwarding on my AT&T Phone and AT&T Gear S won't connect. Anyone know of any threads or remedies?
Fixed My Own Problem
Ok I fixed my own problem and now it works better than before. I got on the chat with AT&T and they set up the call forwarding on their end. The Gear S still says there is no call forwarding connection though, so I disabled the option. Since it is enabled through AT&T, however, on a remote connection I can receive calls from both my phone number and my Gear S number. All the while call forwarding is disabled on the Gear S. I can receive texts through both numbers as well. The only downside is, to disable the call forwarding I would have to contact AT&T again. But I don't really know why I would ever want to disable that. I'm just going to leave my phone in a constant remote connection and get all the benefits of a regular bluetooth connection plus the ability to receive calls and texts on my Gear S number.
Customization
Ok wait. To customize my watch, such as adding new clocks and wallpapers, I would have to be on bluetooth. But that's no biggie i'll just reconnect.
Nevermind
This method does not work. Calls to my original number do not show up on my phone. Just my watch. I missed a call today because I had my watch turned off. Even though my phone was turned on, I didn't see the call. It went straight to my watch which wasn't on. AT&T said there is no way I could get the same call to appear on both my watch and my phone. So I'm still out of luck on getting the call forwarding option thru the Gear S working.
Has anybody else seen issues with calls. Almost all inbound calls go directly to voice mail. Outbound calls take 5+ seconds before they start ringing.
Unrooted, unmodded. Tmobile. Running Android 13.
driving me insane. called tmobile and they weren't able to help. are their any known bugs causing this? any suggestions?
i've played with just about every setting that i can think off short of doing a factory reset
thanks
I have been having the same issues, I'm at&t but I thought it was just my iPhone until I switch to the pixel 6 recently and I'm still not even a missed call notification for some calls, which actually included my wife. Sends her call straight to voicemail. Its really bothering.
