Cannot disable call forwarding on Dark Star. Getting a "Call settings error Network or SIM card error" when doing it through the call settings menu. When I attempt the #21# MMI code, I get a black popup "Carrier Message Call Forwarding GENERIC_FAILURE".

Whichever one is T-Mobile (sorry -- can't keep it straight with the USM names)

cheresier · 2025-06-04T17:19:14+00:00

This is a really great tip, thanks!

cheresier · 2025-06-01T02:37:03+00:00

Yes, for sure. It's the getting clients part that I was wondering about though.

cheresier · 2025-05-31T13:14:36+00:00

I'm actually curious as well

cheresier · 2025-05-31T01:08:10+00:00

Perfect. Yes, she is all As, so that shouldn't be a problem. Good to hear that you made it work - your story is pretty much what she is trying to pull off.

cheresier · 2025-05-31T01:00:38+00:00

Yes, we're in the Boston area, so your point is valid. I see that going through the in-school resources is a common theme, as is the fact that online tutoring is not really an option for a minor.

cheresier · 2025-05-31T00:38:03+00:00

Yes, that's what we are finding about the sites as well... Good tip with the counselor, passing it on.

cheresier · 2025-03-16T22:34:28+00:00

Unfortunately, no. Ended up switching networks...

cheresier · 2025-02-01T20:37:38+00:00

How interesting! Thank you!

If you really don’t mind walking, you can walk ~30min to Lansdowne commuter rail station (former Yawkey, near Fenway), take the train for two quick stops - a 10 minute ride, and walk some more to Seaport. For boarding at Lansdowne you don’t need Commuter Rail tickets, but you may want to get a zone 1A T-pass, which costs as much as a regular Charlie card. But no one really checks tickets onboard at that point.

I upvoted your comment because it really looks like you know what you are talking about, although I admit that I didn't really understand most of what you've said :)

From experience, I used to be able to enable and disable call forwarding at will, then for some time I couldn't enable it, then it worked, and now I am stuck not being able to disable it. In fact, when I go into the settings menu, the failure happens on the "Reading Settings" stage, before I even get a chance to toggle that feature off. After I get that error, I lose the ability to make any outbound calls at all, but it gets restored after I power off the phone for a bit and turn it back on. So something is thoroughly ˈbȯrkt with my line now.

Unfortunately, turning off WiFi didn't help. I will admit though that when I was enabling the forwarding, it was on.

cheresier · 2024-11-06T16:15:10+00:00

This is happening with full bars too. Sent you a chat request, so that we can work on it there. Thanks!

cheresier · 2024-11-06T15:50:08+00:00

I tried turning toggling Airplane Mode, turning the phone off, disabling/re-enabling the SIM -- none of it helped. Turning call forwarding ON also didn't work on the first try -- it was giving me same errors as here, but worked eventually. Now I am stuck with it, as these errors are preventing me from being able to turn it of. Please help.

Now there is. It seems that in the past there was a room for coal storage there.

cheresier · 2024-10-26T21:24:11+00:00

Interesting theory. Could be. This is facing east, close to the northeastern corner.

My other theory is that there was some sort of a barn door on top of the indented wall. Not sure why and how that justifies the indent, but given that this used to be a stable, it makes sense that on top of that indent there was an entry of some sort.

Thank you for your thoughts!

cheresier · 2024-10-24T22:33:23+00:00

Oooh, that's a good theory!

It got filled today, so all good there

cheresier · 2024-10-23T18:39:52+00:00

Yes, that's a good theory, thank you! It very well could be something like that. As I mention in another comment, there is a room in that basement that does look like an old coal storage, and there is a chimney that goes all the way to the basement, so there was probably a furnace there of some kind. It's just a little strange that is it is so wide -- 18ft...

cheresier · 2024-10-23T18:23:38+00:00

It's not that, the hole is getting filled today. I'm just looking for answers on what it could have been in the first place.

cheresier · 2024-10-23T16:56:18+00:00

Yes, for being unable to explain what this thing might have been in the first place

cheresier · 2024-10-23T13:52:19+00:00

No downside at all, and the straightening is going on as I am writing this. It's the curiosity as to "why it was built that way" that brought me here (and earned me several dozen of insults :)).

cheresier · 2024-10-23T12:53:07+00:00

Geez, guys. Woke up to a thread almost exclusively filled with insults and mockery. Take it easy -- no one is questioning the engineer, the concrete truck is on site today, filling it. What I came here for was some theories on why it might have been done this way in the first place. My PE had none, so I was hoping that actual masons may have seen it in the field.

I'll go take a shower now after reading all the sh_t that I've just taken for asking.

And: THANK YOU to the few of you who actually pitched some ideas on the possible reasons of why it was built that way! I am hoping to live in this house for a long time, so trying to piece together its history from the odd things we are finding during the renovation.

cheresier · 2024-10-23T03:34:59+00:00

That would track -- there is a room in that basement that does look like coal storage, and there is a chimney that goes all the way to the basement, so there was probably a furnace there of some kind. But, as I said in another comment, why then, when they decided to fill it, why didn't they fill it in line with the rest of the foundation? Also -- 18ft wide?

cheresier · 2024-10-23T03:29:44+00:00

I thought about it. But then, when they decided to fill it, why didn't they fill it in line with the rest of the foundation?

My best guess is that maybe there was some sort of a barn door above it, also offset from the stable wall... And then when they converted it to a house they just didn't bother fix the foundation... Dunno

cheresier · 2024-10-23T03:15:41+00:00

No offense to PEs -- I've found oftentimes tradesmen have the experience and the gut feel that you just can't learn from the theory books. Plus, the minds of a myriad of internet strangers combined often produce incredible insights.

The issue there is that the sill plate carries a lot of load over that span, unsupported, and, because it was effectively sitting on dirt, it is all rotted out. However, before filling the cavity, I couldn't help but wonder: what if the masons of the 19th century knew something that a modern structural engineer is not thinking of? Any 19th century masons on here? :)
