Retry on busy option for phone calls... where is it? - PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General

My last 2/3 cellphones had the function whereby on a busy tone I would be prompted to RETRY... when I did so the phone would keep trying at intervals until the number began to ring - my phone would then ring once to alert me that the call was now in progress and ringing at the other end. Very useful. Is this network or phone feature? Either way I do not seem to have this on the XDA IIi which seems like a huge ommission. (I still use same network and SIM card as per my previous cellphones).

# Rings Incoming Calls

Hi,
I have a CDMA Touch from Telus Mobility in Canada.
The issue I am having is # rings with incoming calls.
I am using latest Jawbone Bluetooth headset, when I have an incoming call, I receive 2 rings and calls goes to voice mail.
I have called HTC Support and Telus support, they have no solution.
Is there a setting to modify the number of rings for incoming calls?

If you're talking about the number of rings before the voicemail kicks in, yes there is a solution if your phone number is in Alberta or BC.
I dont know what Alberta or BC is...
but on my phone i do it like this...
Start->Settings->click phone->'Services(dono if it's called this, second tab)
There is a list, in that list there should be (again, dono the english word) 'forward to'
click Get Settings...
now u can set the number of secunds before it connects the call to voicemail..
with the intervals 5,10,15,20,25,30 seconds (at least with my phone provider)
hope this helps
thanks nisse thats very helpfull.
by the way forward to is call forwarding.
Excellent!!

3 rings delay in incoming call
Hi,
This might be due to another related issue:
There is delay of 3 rings before the diamond actually starts ringing.
i.e, after the caller has heard 3 rings, only then the diamond starts ringing, and by the time you pick the call, there will be many rings and it will go to answer phone as usual.
As soon as there is an incoming call, the light starts blinking. But there is a delay in the ringer/vibrate. You can try this out by calling from another phone.
This might be cause for your issue.
I too am having the same problem, and I'm searching for a solution. Maybe some cab which fixes the 3 rings dealy in incoming call... I'm sure there must be some such cab. Still going through the threads in the forum.
Could anybody please point us to a fix if you know...
Thks,
Sandeep
I've got the same problem on my touch pro..
It's even worse actually - I'm experimenting, but it seems like half the time the phone *never rings* when wifi is on and if it's asleep...
What the???

I think that he's referring to the 3 second delay built into most phones. On earlier devices this was fixed by changing the polling time in the phone programming. (often referred to as the Slot Cycle Index). I haven't tried it on my Diamond as I haven't noticed that much of a lag.
Since I was thinking about it, I decided to try. I changed my SCI from 2 to 0.
I did look and found that I don't have that "Forward to" option in my phone settings. Probably a provider change.

Strange 'Call Ended' and connectivity issues

I have been using a Dutty 6.1 ROM for over a year and had no issues. On a trip thru Ohio (I live in Utah) last month my phone locked up and forced a hard reset. For the remainder of the trip my phone had no call volume which I assumed was a radio issue in the new area. When I got home the sound worked again but a new issue arose. Half of the time I would place a call the phone would pause a few seconds and then immediately 'Call Ended' me without dialing. A lot of incoming calls also would go straight to voicemail without ringing. All of this with full signal bars.
I flashed back to the official AT&T Rom/Radio straight from their site and the conditions still exist. Any ideas?
I have the same problem, I've been using my kaiser for over more than 1 year perfectly, suddenly the troubles began 4 months ago: several times I can't complete a call with the answer "call ended", or the call ends after a time, or the incoming call go straight to voicemail without ringing. All with full signal bars. Sometimes it happens, sometimes everything is ok. I've been trying different roms and radios, without solution. The wifii, bluetooth, etc: always ok. I'm really dissapointed. I'd thank if somebody could give me an idea about it. I live in Argentina and here we don't have service for htc. Thank you very much.

CM10.1 phone app blacklist - any alternatives?

This is not a Nexus 4 specific issue, but rather a general CM10.1 issue.
The stock CM10.1 phone app normally does a good job of blacklisting numbers - but when you have the phone connected to a Bluetooth handsfree, and the blacklisted number attempts to call you, then the Bluetooth handsfree will start ringing and it's impossible to stop the ringing unless the caller gives up or you disconnect the Bluetooth.
The handsfree device in question is the Ford Sync system built into my car. Earlier today, I blacklisted the number 6474964196 (for others who live in Toronto, blacklist it too!) after realizing it was a scam to impersonate the bank TD. Later, when I was driving out of the office with the phone connected via Bluetooth, my car started ringing and displayed that very number on my GPS screen as an incoming call. I kept rejecting the call using my steering wheel button, but the caller didn't relent.
The whole time, my phone screen itself did not show any signs on an incoming call. Normally when I drive I keep my phone in the cupholder, and if it gets an incoming call from a non-blacklisted number, the screen turns on and shows me the number along with a big red button to reject the call. But with the incoming call being from a blacklisted number, the screen remained off.
After failing repeatedly to silence that call, I had to wait till I got to a red light so I could manually turn off the Bluetooth. At the same time, I noticed the phone app showed nothing from the blacklisted number in my missed-calls log.
I'll report this on Jira later. In the meantime, does anyone know of an alternative call blacklist app that doesn't allow a Bluetooth handsfree to ring when a blacklisted number calls me?
I previously used root call blocker pro to block calls. I don't use Bluetooth so I can't say if it'll help you out.
You can also add the number to your contacts, then go into the contracts app and have all calls go to voicemail. CM's method is better because it doesn't let them go to voicemail.
Yes, there is a bug in there. I now use root call blocker.

I use true caller to block calls. It even has option to block numbers marked as spam by other users

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll use root call blocker and see.
I just create a contact names no answer and add the number there, with the option to send calls to voicemail. Now my phone won't ring when they call, and when I wipe and flash a new ROM, the blacklist numbers all carry over with my Google contacts. I have about 15 blacklisted numbers there.

Dual SIM note 8 - how do I know what sim is ringinh?

Hi
I'm newly registered but a long time lurker.
I have a UK dual SIM note 8
When I am in an app and someone rings there is an icon saying which SIM is ringing, however when I'm not in an application or phone my is on the lockscreen the dialling page is full screen and does not show which SIM is ringing.
Any way to sort this out?
Thanks
Bob
Could you not just assign two different ringtones, thats how i have mine setup unique tone for each sim, sam e with messages
That's a good suggestion, however, I tend to leave my phone on silent as I also have the gear S3 watch that alerts me to my phone ringing.
Ideally I want to keep it silent as better when I'm in the offoce. If no other suggestions then maybe I have to go the ringtone route

I'm having trouble getting calls and texts

I hope someone can help me with this issue.
I have a Moto X4 XT1900-1 which I have flashed the latest Lineage OS 16 on which is running on the Mint Mobile (T-Mobile MVNO).
Simply put the phone seems to sleep right through texts and calls. It doesn't consistently wake up and ring or give me texts in a timely fashion.
I've tested it many ways including putting the phone on a table next to me and sending texts to it and it doesn't seem to wake up. In case you're wondering it does not seem to be a network issue because another phone with the same SIM card on the same table 5 minutes later works properly.
One of the more peculiar things is when texts do finally trigger a notification they will be dated as "8 minutes ago", for instance.
The same issue appears to be happening with incoming calls when I test them. It's difficult to tell how often I miss calls because many people just hang up if they get voicemail.
One more thing that I doubt has anything to do with the problem, but under mobile network, in settings, it has "preferred network type" and it is set to "global". Is this the correct setting for me to use?
Could it be just a setting I need to change? Any help would be most appreciated.
