I've seen a similar thread on here about not being able to hear calls on the Qtek 909 whereby they can hear you but you can't hear them. I have this problem occasionally on my Vodafone VPx and it's very annoying.
More annoying though is the fact that I get no notification, sound, vibration, visual or otherwise, when someone is calling me. I do however get an alert afterwards to let me know that I have missed the call and I have to call them back.
Normally a soft reset will sort the problem out in the short term but normally only until 1 call has been received or volume settings have been changed or any buttons pressed.
Anyone else had similar problems or know of a ROM upgrade for the phone that may fix it? Vodafone currently have no support that I can find for the phone as it is relatively new in the UK.
After reading various problems I think this could be related to a known bluetooth issue. I've upgraded to BT3900 but still get the problem with not being able to hear calls or have them hear me.
Maybe some reading along those lines may help you decide if that's your problem.
The only thing I can think off with regards receiving no alerts could be you call options. I know this sounds basic, but you'd be amazed how often it's something like that we all seem to overlook.
How this gives you some ideas.
I have been looking for this since I first started using Windows Mobile.
Unfortunately, most of the softwares out there (because they are not built into the ROM) can not reject calls without the other side knowing. I have tried every software out there, all of them are the same, the caller will hear a ring, or part of a ring, then they will get a busy signal (rejected).
I can't believe this is hard to create, I use to have it 12 years ago in my BASIC alcatel phone. When a black listed caller dials, they get nothing .. or get an out of coverage message from the operator. I believe the way it worked, is that the phone detects the caller number, BEFORE responding that it has acknowledged the call and is ringing.
I guess that is why I am saying that it is built in to the ROM as a driver or something, and not just a software.
Any Ideas, thoughts, where I can find this, anyone WILLING to make it ?
I know there are some recent roms being created that has the call blocking feature built in. i'm using one those roms, which is indicated in my signature. when u mentioned that you've tried them (call blocking applications) all, were they free and/or commercial apps, or apps created in the development/hacking section? Collectively speaking, there's alot of those types of applications floating out there, but maybe you've already tried those.

1st off, change your number
if that doesn't suite your needs make a fake dial tone which states your number is not in service as your voicemail while using call firewall. after a few weeks the person will give up calling you. Callers will receive one full ring and it will go to your new fake voicemail after blocking them, which they will perceive as your phone being turned off or changed your number.
common sense now pay me.
hahahah nice one .. except the keyword here is UNDETECTABLE ... if they know i changed my number or i am blocking them, they will find me and ask for the NEW number ....
As I said before, the only device I saw that feature on, was the really old alcatel models; which didn't give you a ring, didn't give you a busy tone, probably just ignored the request coming in from the telco when it is one of the black listed numbers.
Nice try, but I would pay you, if you could do the same on windows mobile. By the way I was testing an alpha versio of the cruise before it was launched, and it actually (accidently) opened the speaker, before you actually picked up the phone call, so the other side could hear you, before you even answer.
Thus, I am sure these things are possible, if there is someone who has the knowledge, and power to play with the operator
I haven't tried anything comercial, didn't find what i was looking for. If you know of any comercial software or freeware that does what i am stating. i.e. doesn't ring before it blocks the call. That would be great
I have something called MAGICALL, and it works great. You can set it to pick up then hang up, however the best part is that the call doesnt "come through" or let the phone ring. Unless you specify the software to give you a pop up message indicating it blocked a call. I love it since it doesnt even let the phone ring, its like if you never got called.
Same thing, I already tried MagiCall and it rings once to the caller, and then disconnects. Very obvious that you are avoiding the person.
I currently use a free voicemail feature called YouMail, which has call filtering and call blocking features. You can block calls (I believe) and also create a unique voicemail greetings for those you want/trying to avoid as well. www.youmail.com
I also use magicall for this. As an action I choose 'ignore' and then the caller just hears the phoen ringing, the connection is not broken. And you, well you hear and see nothing so you are not disturbed. Is that not what you want/?
Not exactly, ignore is a nice feature if you dont' want to be disturbed, but if someone is constantly bugging you; you would like them not to even reach your phone (so they don't come next day in the office, and say I left you three missed calls, and you didn't answer me).
It would be easier if they just got a this phone is out of coverage (or something similar) from the operator; then you can always blame the operator, that they couldn't reach you ... you get my drift ?
Yeah, I get your drift. But, if you're not reachable, then I guess it's the provider that sends back a message to the caller. I don't think your phone can send that message to the caller.
Moreover in most cases if you're not reachable then the caller also gets sent to your voicemail and he can also leave a message and come to you next day asking why you didn't react to his voice messages.
So the only option would be to send a message back saying that the number doesn't exist. But again, you would have to be able to spoof a provider based message for that.
I see these options when a caller really wants to get hold of you and you don't want to react:
* drop the call after 1 ring: caller notices he gets dropped, gets pissed an comes to see you
* send message back saying you're out of coverage: caller leaves message, which you ignore, caller gets pissed and comes to see you
* send a message back saying that the number doesn't exist: caller inquires whether you changed number, finds out you didn't, gets pissed and comes to see you
* silently ignore him: caller leaves a message, which you ignore, caller gets pissed and comes to see you.
Seems you're screwed either way
Why not simply answer the call and tell the caller to f*ck off. He's bound to get pissed also but at least he'll leave you alone and you'll feel relieved.
Well for one, I don't use voice mail ... secondly, because it is the provider that sends the message, it is authentic....
So if your mobile ... somehow ... ignores the call coming from the provider ... the provider sends a message saying that the mobile is out of coverage ...

Hmm, you're asking for someone to develop a piece of software because you have no spine? I know of no Java/.Net/etc API that is better than the truth. Tell the person to leave you be. The currently available call firewalls work great for when you need to be in a "Call Free Environment."
It has nothing to do with my spine; and I currently have NO ONE harasing me; but I believe that the current Call firewalls have a disadvantage, and lack a feature.
I wish there was someone in XDA-Developers who is willing to spend some time to make some adjustments to one of the ROMs to have this built in. Especially as this feature is available in historic phones that have a lot less features than a WM.
Im also using Magicall for this & its working great, the other party doen't even hear a ring. It has many other features too.
Dead Diamond users and non Diamond users, can you please help me.
I, and I think not only me, have the following problem:
My phone will not inform me, if I'm on the others people waiting line, example:
I'm (A) calling my friend (B) whois speaking with a (C), and I'm on the (B's) waiting line, but I have not idia about it, cause my Diamond won't inform me about it in any way, but my Nokia or Samsung (with the same operator and the same Simcard) will inform me on the display, that "Call Waiting"
Any one knows a good solution to this? Maybe "CAB" or Reestor tweak?
(I've got this very good explanation of my problem from some one else post)
In my case, when i call someone that is on a call with call waiting activated on my HTC Diamond doesn't "say" anything. On my old Nokia it "says" Waiting.
Another think i noticed is when i receive a diverted call on the old phone says "diverted call" and then put a simbol before the number. On my new phone no information about it is displayed.
Can anyone know if there is any app that can make the phone "smarter" in this case?

If any solution can be found, I'll donate with pleasure
Thanks a lot!
i think this is a problem with all Windows Mobile phones. as even my old i-Mate K-JAM (Wizard) was not able to do these things.
i agree its annoying, but i guess you learn to live without it eventually.
Yes, you right! I'll live without it, but maybe it is possible to edit something in a low level (like AT modem programming, or smothing like this, knew this stuff from iPhone at command),
Maybe some one can do this?
Thanks!
if someone ever figures this one out, i would happily pay for it.
its one of those things that always bothered me about Windows Mobile phones, and i never found a solution for.
So, If some one can do thin work, WE (now ME & pult) start donation
Help us and help the world please

any news on this ??
i'm need the info on the divert call... i have 2 # on my sim and they are redirected between them...
thanks
I agree with all of you,
"Waiting ..." and "Diverted call" are two messages I miss a lot after I moved to Windows Mobile phones ....
Time to time I'm searching for a solution, but nothing ...
I tryed to get solutions from Microsoft ... no answer.
Any news ?
HTC TouchFlo could manage it ?

Hi,
I installed the Voip.cab for WM6.1 to get voip funcionality.
I have the problem, that I can't hear my partner, when I'm calling via VoiP.
I can dial normally, the phone of my partner rings, but I can't hear anything. The phone recognizes, that my partner picked up the phone and starts the clock of the call duration. When I speak, my partner can hear me, but not in the other direction. I can't hear anything.
If I call my Voip-number, my diamond also doesn't ring.
Is there anything I forgot in the settings?
Thank you!!!
Please help
If anyone knows a hint or a workaround, just let me know!
I need it on christmas eve!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

i think that you have to open concrete ports in fiewall to avoid this one-way audio issue. i don´t remember which ports do you have to open. check voipbuster.com forums and you´ll get it.
Hi,
thanks for your hint, but after lots of reading in voipbuster and google I have found nothing, which really works for my diamond. Many others wrote about these problems with Touch Diamond.
I only found Port 5060, which I opened. But nothing changed:
I can call anybody, anybody can call and hear me. But I hear nothing.
Can anyone give concrete hints for this problem?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
I could finally manage to solve my problem. But now I can only hear my partner thru the external speaker.
Does anyone know, how to set the output to internal speaker.
Thank you

I have an unknown number calling me and I want to know who it is, I answer they hang up. The only way that I know of that will unhide the number is through trap call. I don't know how many of you are familiar with trap call but pretty much you get an unknown number calling you, reject it, then it comes back to you with their real number. I have it on my spare phone and it works but I don't want to out it on my main line, because it messes up your voice mail. I can foward calls to my spare phone from my main phone but I don't want to be doing that 24/7
So does anyone know if there is any sort of app that I can install to my xperia that will unhide unknown numbers? I figured since many of the people in these forums are a lot more knowledgeable than maybe someone knew of such an app. It would be pretty handy Thanks
I'm looking for exactly the same kind of util. We don't have trap call available here. If someone can explain how the caller ID process work, does the number even get transmitted to your phone? but not showing due to some setting in the data of the acctual call?
The other side of the coin then, can you witheld your ID on a SMS?
