When I have several notifications (missed call, voicemail, email, sms, etc.) and the left softkey changes to the notification function, it seems like the order it addresses the notifications isn't the best. I think it does email first, then voicemail, then missed calles, then SMS. To me, the optimum order would be to go to SMS first, then missed calls (before voicemail so I can see if it's worth checking the voicemail!), then voicemail, then email.
Does anybody know of a way to change this order?
I'd be interested in this fix also. Notification of voicemail before missed calls annoys the hell out of me.
I searched around a bit and didn't find the answer so I would be interested as well
Ive been searching for this too.........
Anybody???

+1, I think there are a lot of us who want to know. I have snooped around , searched and I haven't got a clue...
Anyone?
I figured there'd be at least one WM smart guy that could at least say either:
-It's possible and this is how you do it...
-It's possible in theory but nobody has worked it out/figured out the reg key(s) yet.
or
- It's not possible because that's hard coded or (insert other reason here).
I'm not ready to give up on this, so...
BUMP!!!
BUMP BUMP!!!!!
i think that i'd have to be possible, its just a matter of finding the registry that determines the order of notification. but i'd be interested in a fix for that too.
count me in as welll....X-)
ummmmm........ BUMP
Bump bump bump xD

Hi,
this is not strictly Kaiser specific I guess.
I recall sometime ago seeing a feature which looked useful. When somebody calls you and lets say you are busy, meeting or driving etc.
You get a prompt to refuse the call and at the same time send a pre-defined text message back to them straight away.
So they get put through to your voicemail and also recieve a text from you to say "Sorry I'm in a meeting, will get back to you ASAP" . Is this a WM 2005+ feature?
Also another one
Is it possible to only send your caller id to people that are in your contacts list when making calls? Anybody else does not see your number?
Thought I saw that one on my old XDA iis?
Thanks
Mike
the text msg one seems useful. what if they are calling from a landline and not mobile like with most businesses? will the sms bounce back to you and says unable to send or something? just curious.

Well I seem to recall it was up to you what you did with the call, ie based on the number ringing . In the uk at least its possible to spot a mobile number easily.
I seem to think a small menu came up with several choices.
i don't know if this app will help. I've never used it but ran across it a few weeks ago.

I bet something like this could be down with MortScript... I'll research it, i've been wanting to get into MortScript, this would be a perfect test.

There are several apps (commercial ones) that do this. PhotoContacts Pro does it. And I think a couple of other phone utils do also (SPB or VITO may make one, don't remember).

Yes that looks very much like it.
I was sure it was part of WM already. Must have got it wrong.
Thanks, I'll check it out when I get my WM device soon!

Call Firewall
I'm using call firewall, it's a great app imo....
Photo Contact Pro has a reject/auto SMS feature. As for caller ID, My Kaiser has the following function. Go to phone, Menu tab, Options, Services, highlite Caller ID & press get settings. It then allows me the option to:
1. Send ID to everyone
2. Send ID to contacts only
3. Do not send ID
Maybe this is AT&T specific, but thought I'd throw it out there.

Only thing with ''call firewall'' is that when you are on a call if a call comes in it disconnect both the call your on and the one coming in... my experience.
There is also Magicall that does this:

hi, apologies if this has already been covered but the forum search engine is not the easiest thing to use when you are not sure what the question is!!
has anyone written anything that would give this device the ability to give periodic reminders, ie vibration alert or a beep of sorts to remind of missed calls or text messages? i am quite sure its not something which comes as a feature on the device but would be really useful.
AlarmPal from PocketMax - get it from here - is the only reliable solution I know of....
You can (supposedly) patch the registry to enable the "Repeat" option in Sounds & Notifications for any entry where it is currently greyed out (like missed call, new SMS etc..) - check out this post for all the details - I've tried this in the past and I found that the notifications kept going even after you'd read the SMS or dealt with the missed call......YMMV
Hope that helps
Mark.
excellent, cheers. looks like just the badger i was after.
On the samesite is fone alarm been using it for over a year, fantastic solution.

Do a google search for don't forget 2. Freeware.
But I prefer Phonealarm myself
SPB Phone Suites also has this feature, along with a nice today photo contacts option.
sorry my searches all failed...didnt really know what to search for. I know there is a program that will send a default SMS after a missed call to the number u missed. Does anyone know what this program is?

One commercial product I have used in the past is Auto SMS Reply 2.0. I think is it was around $15.00 dollars when I bought it. I don't know of any free ones on this site.
http://classic.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=18331
thanks for the quick reply ill check that one out, but i know there is a free one out there lol. Its been in a few roms in the past i looked throught a few but could not find anything...
Check this out -
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1712
It is free, does what are looking for. Only problem is it will try to send an SMS in response EVERY missed call - it can't tell if the calling number is a cell phone or a fixed line phone.
I really want a program that would ask me if I wanted to send an SMS after the call was not answered or would even ask me while the phone is ringing. (Possibly just bring up the dialog of of a new SMS with the number already there) The Palm OS has that feature built in and it's very nice. Does anybody know of anything like it?
I actually found that program: SPB Phone Suite does exactly that, it will ask if you want to send an SMS after the call is over or ignored.
The one used to use is Mobile Secretary
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/10/23/the-mobile-secretary.aspx
Is there any Symbian appplication for same ? Windows mobile is bit restriction.
Doesn't s2u2 support this feature now?
Very nice, I've been looking for an app like this for a while now. Just input a # you don't want to receive calls from and it will be blocked. Requires root, though.
Sure, you can use the built in "Send to Voice Mail" feature in Contacts, but that's not a good solution because 1) It clogs up my voice mail inbox and 2) I get an almost as annoying text notification every time someone that I have chosen to send to VM tries to call me.
The app is still pretty new, so it's lacking a few features I would like (such as regexp patterns), and I'm not sure it'll block text messages as well (which would be nice), but it's definitely a very good start.

I just downloaded it gonna start putting number in it. Do you know if you can use it to block unknown numbers?
I haven't actually tried blocking my home phone in it to try it out for myself, but supposedly what this app does is to send the caller directly to voice mail, just like the feature that's already available to us in the default contacts app. That's not quite what I'm looking for, as that means I will still get those annoying notifications and the voice mail inbox will (might) get clogged up.
Perhaps what I'm looking for is just not possible, but simply put I want an app that interceps an incoming call/text, cross-refs it against a black list, and if it's a match - mimics a red phone button press (decline)/refuse the text message - all within a few milliseconds. It would also be nice if it stopped the number from getting logged in the call log.

I'm pretty sure that what this application does is to receive the phone call (it may do half a ring) and immediately answer it and hang up. This should avoid the problem of sending it to voicemail.
i have been talking to the dev since release, the callers do NOT go to voicemail so it won't clog your voicemail manny.
also it cannot be used to block Unknown numbers so fo that you would need to write your app(i am trying but it is very hard to do when you don't know exactly what you are doing). but the dev claims that if you put in 1800 in the block box then it will block ALL 1800 numbers that call you. seems pretty good but i haven't been able to test it yet(crazy ex might have finally gotten the hint)
EDIT!! as soon as i posted this i got an update on it and now you are able to choose between unknown numbers or blacklisted numbers, i suggested checkboxes to select both, as well as text message block, but i am not sure how possible that would be

Really? I use the built in feature and I don't get a text when someone on my blocked list calls. It will show up in the call log but I don't get a text or notification unless they leave a VM.
where can i download? please?
I decided to start developing my own version..
^^^That is cool let us know, I am willing to test it. The developer has stopped updating this app.
Good to hear your making a new app. This one bugged me as it wouldnt block 1-800 type numbers..
Yes!
Joey3002 Please post it when completed. I cant find the other app anywhere. If you take paypal donations, I will send some $ after you post it. Thank You!
Hi all,
I made a small android program that displays the Voice Mail Indicator when you receive a Voice Mail (it waits for the +18 sms). This is a simple proof-of-concept app. When I have time, I'll improve it by adding proper notification (Sound, Led, Vibrating...).
I am providing it as is, it works well on my phone. Feel free to post questions, comments, suggestions...
Might not hurt for you to explain what a "VM" is.
I'm assuming Voicemail.
He said it's a proof-of-concept app, like a more complex 'Hello World!' app. So probably not very useful, but just a skill test.
Interesting, so an icon or led when somebody leaves a message...
Seems to me that with phones the way they are now, that messages should be recorded on the phone itself rather than by the provider. I certainly wouldn't want private information stored on somebody's unknown server where they can mess with at their leisure.
To the OP:
How about counting (x configurable) rings, playing an outgoing message, and capturing incoming message for, (configurable) seconds? Then everybody can tell their provider's to f-off and save the $6/month that they're dumping into the answering service.
I apologize for the confusion, I should have been clearer. Fido users will understand what this app is for, but I can understand why others don't.
The situation is simple. With Fido, whenever someone leaves us a new VM (VoiceMail), we get an SMS from fido, with the source address being +18. I personally find this annoying and would much rather have the "normal" behaviour of having a status icon alerting me that I have a new voicemail. That way, I can quickly know if I received a new VM or a new SMS. With Fido, you actually have to check the SMS to see if it's a normal SMS or if it is the +18 notification that Fido sends.
So that's what my app does. It monitors incoming SMS and when it detects an SMS form +18, it gives the user a notification that a new VM has arrived, with the proper icon.
I hope that explains it better!
FYI: The acronym "VM" typically is used for "Virtual Machine".

I've always seen voicemail referred to as VM, just like callerid is referred to as CID. Anyways, that's just a detail and I made the modification in the first post.
Is it possible to have working this app. on HTC One S?
I installed it, but can't find nowhere!

I don't know why you'd need it, every Android system since 1.0 can display Voicemail notifications. I believe some carriers, in the early days, didn't do this properly, which is why this app was created. Still, it shouldn't be needed today, your HTC One S should have this capability built-in and your carrier should be able to use it just fine.
