Call Forwarding Icon Stays On After Call Forwarding Turned Off

I have the problem described here: http://forums.precentral.net/palm-pre-pre-plus/271878-help-me-diagnose-glitch-call-forwarding-webos-... .
I see the problem on my unlocked GSM Pre2 with AT&T, and it goes away when I put my sim card in my old Treo 680. The calls stopped actually forwarding when I turned off call forwarding on the Pre2.  However, the call forwarding icon comes back on the Pre 2, and even shows when I move the sim to my Treo.  It turned out that reading the call preferences from the Treo was enough to reset the icons for both phones, and the icon stayed off until the next time I forwarded calls. Maybe the Pre2 was failing to update something on the SIM to match the status on the network, but the Treo got it right?
Anyway, I don't want to be swapping my sim card around every time I forward calls, and I can't count on my Treo to last forever either.  
Any better ideas?

Have you tried contacting 3 to see if your account is setup correctly or if you need a new SIM?
You can try testing with another SIM or restoring the iPhone.

  • TS2795 Call forwarding icon automatically appears after power on even though call forwarding function hasn't been turn on

    I'm using iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.3. and I have this issue: the call forwarding icon automatically appears after I turn on the phone even though I haven't turned on the call forwarding function! I can make the icon disappear but when I power off the phone and turn it back on, the icon appears again. Since in fact I haven't turned on call forwarding, I can still ring my iPhone despite the icon appearing on the status bar, which proves the call forwarding icon is simply a dummy one in this case.
    I tried to make the call forwarding icon disappear by using the method stated in this Apple Support article:
    'Check Call Forwarding status by tapping Settings > Phone, and then tap the Call Forwarding option.'
    (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2795)
    And by dialling ##21# using the phone app to deactivate 'All Call Forward'
    (http://www.three.com.hk/WebCS/EducationCentre.do?WebCSType=shortcode&lang=eng&ap pId=WCSShortcode)
    I don't know if the following instructions can be used worldwide but at least on 3 Hong Kong network:
    *#67# -> check the status of 'Busy Call Forward'
    ##67# -> deactivate 'Busy Call Forward'
    *#61# -> check the status of 'No Answer Call Forward'
    ##61# -> deactivate 'No Answer Call Forward'
    *#62# -> check the status of 'Unreachable Call Forward'
    ##62# -> deactivate 'Unreachable Call Forward'
    *#21# -> check the status of 'All Call Forward'
    ##21# -> deactivate 'All Call Forward'
    After several trial and error procedures, I find that the Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding option basically functions as the **21* + phone number process (activate 'All Call Forward') and the ##21# process (deactivate 'All Call Forward').
    ==========
    I'm using 3 Hong Kong and I tried one method suggested by one forum member here but no luck:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20090975#20090975
    If you search for 'ios 6 call forwarding icon' on Google, you can see there are lots of people having this problem around the world.
    I do really hope Apple can fix this ASAP as this dummy icon is quite confusing.
    ==========
    The reason why I encouter this problem maybe because I entered the code *#67# to check the call forwarding status just out of interest. And now I have this issue...

  • When I started my Mac the screen was white with the Apple logo and power motion icon running.  I attempted to turn off Mac then a message stating "Debugger called:  Button SCI . Also "Waiting for remote debugger connection."  What is my next step?

    Hi , and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    And sorry to report that OSX is more Widows like than ever, but….
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • I am trying to attend an online class, but can't get to it.  i called the instructor and she told me to turn off the popup blocker.  do i have one of those?

    You didn't mention what web browser you are using so it's hard to say.
    One quick thing you can try if you need to log into the class right now is to download a different browser. Assuming you're using Safari, some possible alternatives include Firefox by Mozilla, and Chrome by Google.
    If you continue to experience problems please provide more information about the iMac, version of the Mac OS, and which browser version you are using. Most browsers have the ability to block pop-up windows. You just need to check your options. Here's what it looks like in the current version of Safari.

  • My 3g is stuck on a screen that only allows emergency calls, wont conect to itunes, doesnt change when turned off or plugged in, any ideas how to fix it?

    my 3g fell in toilet thursday, dried out and worked yesterday, now its stuck on a screen that says emergency call. wont connect to itunes, doesnt change when turned off or plugged in, any ideas

    If you are eligible for a discounted upgrade through your carrier, this would be a great time to consider it. The phone is most probably permanently damaged.

  • TS4185 do facetime calls go through on a mac that is turned off?

    do facetime calls go through on a mac that is turned off?

    Crystal,
    When my iMac, running Snow leopard is in sleep mode, it does not respond to Facetime calls.  Although, I did read a thread a couple months ago where two different people ran a test on their macbooks -- would you believe that one said that their Macbook did ring when asleep, the other said it did not.  Everyone I know who is using Facetime for Mac says that they never got any calls when their computers were in sleep mode.

    May have been reset by iTunes.  After turning it off on your device, also connect your phone to your computer, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings, under Automatic Backup choose This Computer, then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.

  • IPhone remains disabled after Lost Mode turned off by owner

    Hi, my phone (iPhone 4, iOS7) was returned to me after I activated Lost Mode on iCloud. I have turned off Lost Mode on Find My iPhone, but my phone still shows 'iPhone is disabled' and I can only swipe to emergency calling. iTunes 'could not connect to the iPhone because it is locked and in Lost Mode’. Its location is accurate on iCloud/plays sounds so my 3G is fine. Please help, this is a real locked out owner and I am all ready to put in my legit Apple ID details and 4 digit passcode to enter my own (missing-and-found) iPhone.
    50 miles to nearest Apple store! T_T
    Thanks!

    If disabled, you'll either have to force into recovery mode & restore it, as described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Or, login to iCloud.com, from your computer, find the phone, the erase it.

  • My iPod now turns off after failing to turn off.

    When my iPod couldn't turn off and the battery drained, I deleted "the song" when the problem came, full-charged it via the computer and it haven't occurred again.
    I occurs to me:
    1-Sometimes certain files get corrupted, for example word files, and get the application fail. I am not sure this fixed the problem but for the moment everything is OK with my iPod.
    2-I noticed that when my iPod is recharged, I need to wait two or three minutes for turning off, otherwise it is imposible. And if you hear closely there is some noise in it. Don't try to turn off inmmediately after recharging it.

    Excuse me, I wanted to post at the iPod video forum.
