[Q] Texting Number changes depending on method sent - Samsung Gear S

Anyone owning the Gear S having an issue with the watch sending text message from either the watch number or your cell phone number depending on the method you create the message on the watch? Or better have a solution to fix it?
IE;
While no longer bluetoothed to my cell phone (but with call FWD turned on) If I swipe down go to messages and create a message the receiving person gets a text message from the CELL phone number. However if I then use the S-Voice feature to text the same person they receive a text message from the WATCH phone number. If I get a text message from someone that was FWDed to my watch from my phone and respond to it they get a text message from the CELL phone number. However if I get a phone call from someone FEDed to my watch and hit end then select a quick response to the person they get a text message from the WATCH phone number. If I were to go back into messages and respond to the same thread of message it continues to text the person from the WATCH phone number. I have to create a new message in the messages section in order to make it go back to the CELL PHONE number.

YEah, that's pretty annoying. my wife is a little upset I have 2 numbers now.

I was a little annoyed by the second number as well. More so because they don't mention it and only state it in the fine print on the site. However it only real comes into play when you call out, or experience my issue. I am currently in conversation with Samsung over a long posting back and forth. It is sounding like its a software issue (go figure), however they are not exactly forth coming with such information.
Are you having the same problem?

No you didn't read my whole description of the issue. Sometimes it does it the way its suppose to sometimes it does not. All depends on what I use to create the SMS. It is setup properly; double checked that many times.

Weird Series of Events

Yesterday i get an MMS from my gf. I have the threaded palm app, on the old 1.35 cing rom the stand mms (m$ messaging) handled my MMS. However the threaded app said it couldn't be downloaded. SO i tried playing with the setting in the app to no avail. Then set them back, and now non of my messages would send. So i was like well lets take the wm6 plunge. I did it and none of my messages would send, so went back to 2.06 and it won;t send my messages either. Any ideas? I am going to try my sim on another phone, and try to call cingular but I am all outta ideas.
Thanks

How long has it been since the error first appeared??
Also are you CERTAIN the mms settings are correct?
Theres several problems that might cause this, could be your GPRS/3G connection not working correctly (wrong DNS settings etc..) or your service provider may be experiencing technicall difficulties?!
about 24 hours.
I doubt the mms setting are correct. but I have reflashed ROMS. I am going to try to load the cingular ext rom into the wm6 rom to seee what happens. Then I am gonna try to swap sims or phones.

Firstly CONFIRM the mms and gprs settings, get them written down. Dont bother with the extrom Ive never used them (HTC TyTN but im on O2-UK so nothing of use) and just manually create the connection and profile for mms/gprs. Send a test MMS (send it to an email address) and see if it works.
If this works you are looking at an issue with your settings in the other MMS program. Have you used a back-up program to save things?? Because the general concensus is to not use them as they dont always restore correctly...and it even less likely to work when restoring things into WM6 that originated in WM5 :s
MY GPRS Setting are correct. I really could careless about MMS. I really just want sms to work.

Ah i see, so its SMS aswell as mms that isnt working? Can you tell me what the service centre is set to in your device (it should set it automatically from the SIM card).
(tap the signal indicator icon, tap settings from the balloon that appears.....tap the services tab, highlight "Voice Mail and Text Messages" then tap "get settings"......the service centre numbers for sms and voicemail should appear after a second or two)
MRVANX...You suspicions were right. I changed the number. So think the threaded app must have made the change to the registry when I was playing around with the setting, and for some reason that change was either saved to my sim....? or maybe to the registry.
MRvanx---thanks for reminding me where these setting were. still odd though. i can't wait for the true wmx.2 to be out.

Registry sir, the service centre and voicemail settings are returned by the network when the "get settings" button is pressed...thats why you never have to manually enter the numbers. So its working ok now??
It is working now...but odd.

[Q] SK i9100 problems

I'm exhausted from all my attempts at figuring out these problems, so I'm hoping someone on XDA can help me figure out two issues I'm having with my GSII.
I have the South Korea version of the GSII and I'm using it in Hong Kong. I can receive SMS messages, but when I try to send an SMS reply it says failed. I checked the SMS message center number and it's correct for the carrier. Here's the odd thing, when I try to compose a new message or forward a message, I have the option to specify the senders number. If I manually type in my number and the receivers number, I can send the SMS without a problem. So I know it's not a frequency compatibility issue. I can't manually specify the numbers every single time as the SMS messages will take forever to compose. I switched the SIM card over from an older Android phone and that phone had no issues with sending SMS messages. In the about phone section of the settings, my number appears as unknown. I never had a problem with this in my old phone. I did try to edit my number on the SIM through a couple old phones, but it just wont save. If I switch SIM cards from different carriers, I'm always going to have this SMS sending issue. Are there any tricks or ways to fix this?
The other problem I have is with the dialer. Everytime I try to make a call, a roaming call option pops up that says, call Korea or call international number. I have to select call international number to dial out. Is there a way to stop this?
If I could fix these two issues my GSII would be perfect since everything else is awesome except the two basic functions, sms and calling, of a phone. This has driven me nuts for hours everyday trying to figure it out. Thanks!
Are you in South Korea? I remember reading somewhere that the Korean wireless companies have a totally different SMS/MMS protocol than the rest of the world. We've all been getting our phones from the UK because of this even though it launched in Korea first. Maybe someone online that's familiar with the Korean SGS2s differences can provide more detail.
I thought that might be the issue with the SMS/MMS system in South Korea, but if I specify the sender and receiver numbers the messages will go through without a problem and I can also receive without any problems.

I fixed the SMS problem using an iphone 3gs which takes the same size sim card as the GS II and saving my number to the sim card. This isn't really a good solution sinve Im not always going to have a 3gs handy when I travel and would like to use a local sim card. I still haven't figured out how to fix the Roaming Auto Dial window that pops up everytime I try to make a call. I can't figure out how to make the phone understand I'm not roaming.
This is what I mean:

The weird thing is that I can't find the voicemail settings on this phone :-(
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I am having the same problem...
The settings are located under the dialer and I was able to set GV as my voicemail.
Inbound calls work fine.
Outbound....
This has been a bit frustrating. If I set "Use Google Voice To Make All Calls" under GV settings and then try and make a call it does not do anything. Not even an error (although I assume there is one occurring)
However if I change it to "ask Me every time" then I am able to make outbound calls with my GV number.
I tried other dialers and have had the same experience.
Will keep experimenting for now

Cool. Any luck with using GV for all calls? This is the first phone I have had trouble getting GV working properly.
Hi,
I've been experiencing the exact same issue and found this thread- am using Omega 5.0 but it sounds like it's a rom independent issue.
Have you made any progress? I am also only able to call if I select "ask each time".
I'm having the same issue. I just flashed to the latest LF2 firmware and it's still happening. With the number of Galaxy S3s sold, I'm surprised that more people aren't complaining about this.
Even when I have the app set to "Ask me every time.." the call is still placed with my carrier number. It's a pain in the butt because now people think that I've changed my number and are starting to text my carrier number.
I had no issues with my S2 (Gingerbread or ICS)
My only suggestion is to post a review in the Market explaining this problem. If you see another review that is also having a problem, mark it as helpful.
EDIT: I tried this and it appears to be working!

OK, did a little more testing - and stumbled across something looks like only 7 digit dialing is affected. 10 digit dialing does indeed use google voice. Frankly, I'm not sure if this was the case in stock GB or not - with out a way to roll back, I can't test.

Well I am still struggling with this one.
I do not think it is a GV + ICS issue because it worked fine on the HTC One X for the two whole weeks I had one.
I feel that it is more likely and issue between the GS3 ROM and GV but I have no idea how to make Samsung aware of it. Especially since GV is only in the US and the phone is international.
I have the Sprint version coming in this week hopefully and I will be able to find some things out.
For now if you have not tried it, I highly recommend checking out GrooVe IP. It works really well I was quite surprised.
Yes, I think it is actually a long standing issue with 7 digit numbers, however it isn't working for me with 10 digit numbers either! Except strangely, if I type a random garbage number it will work, but not work on my existing contact numbers- I've even tried to delete the contact and phone manually and no luck either... do you mind telling me which rom you're using?
I think you two are correct. ICS isn't the problem, it's the GS3 firmware. My Galaxy S2 was running ICS and GV with no problems. And to clarify, with the i9300, we seem to be having two issues:
1. Some people are unable to configure GV for voicemail and,
2. Many of us are unable to make outbound calls using GV
For the first issue, I have had luck by either a) skipping the voicemail portion of the setup and adding voicemail settings manually or b) Installing a backup of GV from my GS2 using Titanium Backup
For the outbound calling issue, I think I fixed it by using the Country code + 10 digit number. So, I guess "11" digit dialing might be a better description for us USA owners.
312-555-1212 FAILS but 1-312-555-1212 is working for me.
Give that a try?

It's actually an issue with the Google Voice app and the SGS3 Dialer. It used to be that when you configure the Voice mail, it brings up the Phone configuration page in the settings, where you could set it, but in SGS3, the GV app can't bring it up, so you will need to do it manually.
Go into the Dialer and click on the Menu Button, go into Call settings, and there you can configure your Voicemail setting.

I tried to add a 1 or a +1 prefix but still no go. To give more description to the bug, if I reboot the phone, and under "always use GV", the first time I dial, it will create a "call not sent" prompt, but the call will actually go through via GV and function correctly. The second time however, it just fails to respond without any prompt.
Edit: I'm on ZNLE9, XXALF2 built.

Have you tried "Ask every time...." with the 1 added to the phone number?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
I have no problems with 10 digits if I use the "ask me everytime" option- I'm only trying to figure out how to get it working under "use GV everytime". So it's just a bit tedious atm but not gamebreaking I guess.

Yes. Same problem here.
I have also found that if I just dial a random number that I have not called before that it will actually work the FIRST time and fail every time after.
Just use youmail. It works great and not a pita to set uo

Me too...
I'm also running into the "Make all calls" issue. "Ask every time" works perfectly.
I recall a few MIUI roms where out-of-the-box, the dialer app did not allow any third party access and this same issue would happen until you dug around in the call settings to allow access to other apps. Again, the "Ask every time" option worked, but "Make all calls" didn't until that setting was changed.
So, I'm assuming it is indeed an issue with the stock SGS3 rom's dialer application, for the GT-I9300 at least. Hopefully a fix will come soon.
I'm curious to see if "Make all calls" works after flashing a CM9 nightly. Trouble is, I just got this thing and wanna play around for a while before I root it.
I can confirm the same issue, as well. "Ask me everytime" works, but "Use for all calls" doesn't. This is on stock and Omega 5.0 roms.
Has anyone tried CM9 nightly to see if this issue goes away or any other suggestions?

Sprint VM app not downloading

Hey all. For about a month or so now my phone won't download voicemail messages to the Sprint VM app. I have cleared the cache and even reset the device with no luck. I even upgraded to the 4.3 rom from Mo and it still doesn't work. I chatted with Sprint yesteday about the issue. They reset my voicemail on their side and again, no luck. They said I need to take it into a repair center and have them look at it because it seems to be hardware. I don't understand how it can be hardware. I can send and receive calls just fine. I can call my VM box and hear messages just fine. Any ideas? Thanks.

No Voicemail Notifications
If Visual Voicemail is not functioning properly on your device, consider the following options:
Make sure there are no third party applications that are conflicting with Visual Voicemail. Go SMS and Handcent are two applications that cause issues.
● *If Go SMS is installed, you will need to disable the Disable other text notifications option.
● *If Handcent is installed, you will need to navigate that application's menu as follows: Settings > Application Settings > Default Messaging Applications and select Disable.
Once you have confirmed that there are no third party applications conflicting with Visual Voicemail, follow these steps:
1. **Using your device keypad, press *38 and then Talk to cancel any call forwarding.
2. **Shut down your device, remove and replace the battery, then turn the device back on.
3. **Update your profile by navigating the menu as follows: Settings > System Updates > Update profile.
4. **Confirm that Visual Voicemail is working properly.
If the recommended steps above do not resolve your issue, dial *2 (for Sprint) or dial 611 (for prepaid customers) to talk to a Customer Care Representative.
For further Visual Voicemail support, go to the customer care page on your service provider's web site.

Mine goes out occasionally as well, but since I updated to the official HTC 4.3 build via RUU it stops working daily. I can reset it and get it to work, but then it stops working several hours later - perhaps when I switch off of WiFi and/or switch cell towers.
Here is what I do to get it to work:
1. Clear the data for the VMM app
2. Launch app and let it do it's thing (reprovision itself making sure I agree to the data consent during setup
3. Update my profile via settings
4. send [email protected] a voicemail at least 1:30 minutes in length (using the Microphone icon in the VMM app)
5. leave myself a voicemail and ensure I get it
Note: try the steps above in a different order if it doesn't work the first time
Handcent seems to make no difference if it is selected as the default app for messaging or not.
The fact that it's failing to deliver voicemails less than 24 hours after re-setting everything up leads me to believe this Mo 4.3 HTC build still has plenty of issues to be ironed out (lack of data roaming, lost connectivity notification causing settings to crash when clicking on the notification, etc.) - however I am getting about 30-32 hours on battery with light usage now which is about double what I got before.
edit: just tried the hands free activation method ( ##72786#) and it's working again - will post again if it stops working
OK, so after resetting everything in my steps outlined in my previous post, and doing a hands free activation - my VMM worked for about 3 solid days.
Starting yesterday morning, with no changes on my end to my phone what so ever, messages started to just sit in my sprint voicemail (had to call my voicemail to retrieve) with VMM not notifying me of new voicemails nor downloading the VMM to my phone locally.
I had to do the hands free activation method a little over a month ago because I wasn't receiving texts. Maybe I should try that again for the vvm.
Saw this on the Sprint community forums related to this issue:
"I eventually talked to a higher up tech support in OK City. They were able to see my voicemail stuck in the Sprint system pending delivery, and after discussing it with the senior tech, they said it sounds a lot like my issue is related to a "market wide outage" that has been open for a few months now (which lines up with when I first started having issues).
I explained that my girlfriend who has the same phone with Sprint (but on a different plan) and my parents who are on the same plan but with different phones (and different location) don't have this issue. They said this issue depends on how your particular number gets routed through the system, so it is possible I would have the problem but the others would not.
Here's the kicker. The expected resolution of this ticket is for JUNE 30TH!!!!!!! That means that if this is indeed my problem, I will have suffered through it for 6 months before it is resolved. And that is IF this is my problem. If not, I have to wait 3.5 more months just to find that out.
I'm not even sure what I'm paying for anymore."

I installed NotiSync https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mattprecious.notisync on both my phone and TS, and then Notify Lite https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=apps.droidnotify and Notify Plus https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=apps.droidnotifyplus on the TS to unlock the screen and show a popup for the notifications received by NotiSync. It has been working great; I'm getting notified when someone is calling before my phone even starts ringing [emoji2] Also if I leave my phone behind and lose the BT connection, I get notified because NotiSync will get disconnected and Notify will alert me.

When you answer from your watch with these apps can you talk to the person through the watch or do u need to go and get your phone from whereever it is?

Thought the question was pretty specific... the topic is about receiving notifications of phone calls from your phone on your watch. And the question was "when the phone rings and you answer on your watch can you talk from the watch to the call thats on your phone when you answer it or do you need to go to where your phone is?"
Not that it matters to this particular question about notifications from the phone to the watch but yes i do have a sim card in the watch and its about phone calls not email or sms notifications.

Notisync is one-way communication. Notifications from phone show up on watch. There is no answering the call from the watch with that app. It's a good app, but if that's what you're looking for you want something else.
There is Tablet Talk which would let you do it but only works reliably with wireless because of the TS bluetooth. And to answer the question, no you cannot take the call through your TS with either. You either need to find the phone or be using a bluetooth headset which is paired to the phone.

I´m trying several apps to synchronize notifications between the phone and the Truesmart. Now, I´m using Notisync (as you) and Popup Notifications (paid version). But there is a thing I haven´t got yet, and it´s to show the message content in the popup window. I tryed Notify Me! too, but I didn´t get the message content neither (only the app and the sender).
Have you (or anyone) got the Truesmart to show the message content (Whatsapp, Telegram, email...) in the popup window?
NotiSync shows the content of my messages after I added it with a custom profile. But if you receive multiple messages from WhatsApp, then it wont show the content.

Notisync seems very particular about what notifications get passed on my setup, but it looks great otherwise. for the life of me I can't get notify me to pop up on any received notifications

Having a sim card in your watch or not makes a big difference. There's people like us who are not interested in adding a sim Cardin their smart watch and there's others who want to use a sim card in their smart watch as well. Also there's different ways for the smart watch to connect or operate which is why I'm asking as in HOW did you make it happen. That was all.
Thanks! This seems great. I mostly need call notifications, but adding a few others will be great. They seem to be pretty great applications as well.
The only issue I have is that I can't enable Notify+ in accessibility because the buttons are off the screen. How did you get around that? I will try a Bluetooth keyboard tomorrow to see if I can just hit enter or arrow over once or twice and enter...

I have uninstalled Popup Notifications and, as you, I have installed Notify Lite and Notify+. However, after lots of tests, I can´t receive the messages content in the popup window yet (only the App´s name, WhatsApp for example, and the sender´s name).
Please, nbarm2, could you share the config you use in Notisync and Notify to receive, for example, the WhatsApp notifications and the message content? I suppose the config for others aps would be similar.
Thanks.
