Call waiting problem in all PPC

When you are calling someone that has another call (Call waiting), your PPC do not show in a notification or beep that the second party is having another line.
This is available on any very basic symbian phone.
Is there a cab to fix that?
Share a solution if you have one..
This is a feature from your carrier.... Call waiting works just fime on my Kaiser

Call waiting works fine on my Kaiser as well.
The carrier here has this option.
This is not the problem though.
The problem is when you call someone up from a PPC and that party has another line.
You should get a beep or a visual notification showing that the person you are calling has another line (my call is waiting on his phone).
So, if someone has a solution for this; please share.
Ok what I think your talking about is when you call someone that is on the phone, you hear a quick beep indicating that they are on the line, correct????
If this is what you are talking about, YES it is carrier specific. For example, when I call my father on Verizon and he is on the phone with someone else, after each ring there is a small beep. This is telling me that he is on the line.
There is nothing you can do to the Tilt to change this, it is carrier specific.
True... and there are also some PBX systems that provide the ring/beep when you are the call waiting. It usually depends on the phone system of the person you're calling.

I think that is carrier specific too.. if I am calling some someone who is busy on another call, I get a completely diff to ringing tone.. Infact in most cases I get a audio message that the person I am calling is busy on another call and I should wait or call back later... Atleast thats what we have on all major carriers here in India...
ok we know that carrier has to support it, i know t-mobile does...
i used an old nokia to check and it works, it beeps and the whole screen says CALL WAITING, then it starts ringing...
i haven't seen any Windows Mobile touch screen or not that can do this
so its a carrier thing, yes t-mobile supports it.. windows mobile doesnt support it though!!!
so there is no way to make a .cab or something to fix this problem
It's not broken so how can you fix it? It's just not a feature that is offered.
it is not about the carrier. for instance when i had a nokia, when the other party was on the phone i had a beep in my phone, but with the WM devices, you cannot see that you call is waiting.

Trouble with voice reception on unlocked Note 8 on Verizon.

Trouble with voice reception on unlocked Note 8 on Verizon. Purchased my Note 8 using the Note 7 promotion tradein from Samsung. Phone calls seem to start out ok, but quickly degrade. Callers voice is staticy and has a buzz to speech coming over the line. Also the call becomes more faint as the call goes on.
Anyone else have issues like this? I have talked to different people at Verizon and Samsung and have already gone through the Factory Reset which did not help.
Not sure if it is an issue with the unlocked phone on the Verizon network or what?

Any one able to get T-Mobile Visual Voice Mail working in the default dialer?

I got unlocked S10e yesterday and when I put my sim in, the phone restarted to get carrier settings. All seems to be working, but I don't have the option in the dialer for VVM and any voicemail comes as a standard(not visual). As a plan B, I downloaded T-Mobile's VVM app and it works. I also have Pixel 2 and it comes with build in VVM

This! Does anyone know how to display TMobile vm in the built in dialer? I never figured that out on my note 9 and instead had to use the stupid and ugly TMobile visual voicemail app. My unlocked international Huawei mate 20 pro shows my TMobile VMS within it's dialer, why can't Samsung do the same!?
I don't think we can

I have been bashing my head against the wall trying to get this figured out as well. I bought the Note 9 U1 (Unlocked) version from BestBuy and flashed the beta version of TMo firmware on it, and built-in VVM worked fine.
Same process on my S10 is not yielding the same results, and it's really frustrating.
I also bought one for my wife, and we still can't use the Chat function in the default SMS app, because I am not going to flash her to the TMo firmware until I make sure VVM will work. TMo's VVM app is like someone started to make an app, then just vomited pink kool aid all over it and called it a day.
I talked to TMo support about it, and they ultimately told me that the only one they can support is the TMo app, not the built in one.
I did this for my note8 I wonder if it'll work for s10

I just use YouMail for voicemail. It works great for me.
google voice as well
I don't think you can, not unless you flash the TMobile firmware.
Btw... I'm also on TMobile, and I have all unanswered/unreachable calls forwarded to my google voice account (so it effectively is my voice mail).

Do you have o use the google voice app just for your voicemail? Does it transcribe it?
I've always found it odd that someone can use an unlocked phone using a T-Mobile or AT&T sim with MVNOs and they can get VVM or wifi calling, but AT&T and T-Mobile can't give those features to their direct customers. I have an AT&T sim in my unlocked S10 like I did with an unlocked S9 and have an MVNO for my carrier, yet I have always had both wifi calling and visual voicemail. That makes me believe AT&T and T-Mobile can activate these services on an unlocked phone, they just don't want to.

Yes, it does transcribe it. I think TMobile charges you extra for transcription?
The nice thing about Google Voice is that you can also use it as a secondary line, you can check your voicemail via web, and you can set any mobile number you have from any carrier forward to your google voice #, so your voicemails are retained even after switching carriers.
However, unlocked or not, it doesn't integrate with your dialer and you still need separate app for it.

Anybody missing calls? T-Mobile, Indian ROG Phone 2

Your using a non us approved phone. What would you expect? No volte, means no calls if 3g is not available.

Get on with Tmobile Support and order a Cellspot booster, makes a world of difference. Worked for me.
they'll ship it to you next day.

I have good network coverage at my home.. do I still need the booster?

In that case no, the booster is only for home. You can download and install LTE Discover, it cycles your cell radio for better reception without restarting your phone.

Lol, yup, that's why he's missing calls. Not just about bands, but no volte. If you have no 3g, no calls.
Running into the same issue. Didn't realize it at first, but 3 different friends have told me when they call me it goes straight to voicemail. I bought the ROG 2 on launch here in the US off their website. I have the WW US VERSION but no VoLTE is killing me. Didn't think it was gonna affect me this much. Kinda torn on what to do now.

Good to know I am not the only one... I have forwarded my calls to Google Voice number and installed Hangouts Dialer on my phone... So any T-Mobile calls with this issue will be forwarded to my Google voice number on my ROG Hangouts app and problem solved...

Can you explain a little more on how I would do this. I have a Google voice number.
If a friend calls my ROG phone and it goes straight to voicemail, how will my Google voice notify me? I see the option if someone calls my Google voice then it will forward it to my ROG phone but not the other way around.

Auto forward from your T-Mobile number to Google Voice Number... Install Hangouts and Hangouts Dialer..
Phone - Settings - Call - Carrier related - Call forwarding - SIM 1 - I enabled forward for last 3 options to my Google voice number...
Now open Google Hangouts and Settings... You should see Google Voice listed under it to accept incoming calls and messages...

Thank you for this!!!
The issue is consistent across all our ROG2s with TMobile
We tested the ROG2 as a replacement for our company phones and it was well received by all. However, we also began noticing missed calls with all the phones that were on T-Mobile. Keep in mind that the original one we purchased for testing was the China version (that blocks Google until rooted) and the rest are a mix of the USA version and the international version, so we have all three. Some are rooted, most are stock but they all have this problem. It turns out that, if you change the T-Mobile network to 2G/3G instead of 2G/3G/4G, it rings every time. FYI

My guess is you would have to set up call forwarding with your carrier.
Alternatively: Port your number to google voice and get a new number for your actual phone, then set up the google voice to forward to your new number. This way any missed calls land on google voice and you can still make calls out.

Question AT&T Video calling & HD voice

I recently got my AT&T S21U from Samsung and I activated the included AT&T 5G sim card from the box.
I received a phone call from someone using an iPhone 12 pro and noticed that the voice call quality was kinda bad. I felt that its not on HD voice, its far from what I remember when I first used HD voice (very clear and amplified). this make me check AT&T video call from the dialer and its not there, the video call icon under the name of my contacts are grayed out. "video call unavailable. use voice call" every time I click it, I only used at&t video call once with my s10+ before. I wonder if any at&t user having the same issue? at&t still offering at&t video call right?
searched about this online and read on at&t forums suggest full restore and if still not working call at&T ( I dont want to restore my phone ) or do I need to change my sim card?
THANKS!

I'm experiencing a similar problem I got two S21+ from AT&T. My wife's S21+ can make and receive AT&T Video Calls and Duo Video Calls. The icons for Video Calls on her dialer and contacts is green when AT&T is set as the default video call app and blue when we set her default video call App to duo. I can receive AT&T video calls from her phone, but I can't initiate AT&T video calls. Icons are grayed out on dialer and contacts when AT&T Video Call is set as default. I can make and receive video calls using Duo. I contacted AT&T and they got back to me, but were not able to identify the problem. They say they will call me back, but I'm not holding my breath. I also have no desire to waste any more time on the phone with AT&T support. I will continue using Duo in the meantime. It works.
