I downloaded the evaluation of Phone Alarm to test forwarding. I would like to forward my phone based on time, which it seems to be able to do.
BUT...
It seems to only support complete forwarding. That is, it forwards, no matter what. I want to be able to select "Forward if Busy", or if no Answer in 15 seconds, which I can select when I do it manually.
Does anyone know if it can do that? I seem to be unable to discover how to do that with this software. If not, then the software will be on the uninstall/don't buy list for me.
(FYI...I have written scripts in Mortscript to do that, but I find for some reason they are very flakey and often come up saying that a varialble does not exist. Next time it runs OK. So that solution seems not too good either).
Thanks
I've found I don't get many replies when I post in this particular forum.
But for anyone interested: I emailed Phone Alarm support, and it does do what I need. Instead of reading the documentation I should have read the list of choices to forward to. In that list is Voicemail, and Voicemail conditional.
Works like a charm.

I have this problem:
this was quoted from Howardforums.
I have realized after numerous missed calls and calling the wrong people that there are 2 inherent problems with the myFaves program and WM6 (Wing specifically).
Problem #1
If you have chosen to hide the myFaves icons from the today screen, then when you miss a call from one of the people that you have assigned as a myFave you will have no notification whatsoever. That is, no flashing light, no sound, no vibrate, and NO MESSAGE notification. No matter the settings in “Sounds & Notifications”
This is just ridiculous. My wife always complained that I would never call her back when she tried to call me at work, but it is because I had no idea she was calling.
Please note that this is only with contacts assigned as a myFave, everyone else that I miss a call from I get a message, light, sound, vibrate, etc.
Problem #2
One of my favorite features of any cell phone is the ability to quickly redial the last person that you called or the last person that called you. I use this feature all the time to quickly call back the person listed as my “Last Call”.
What I am talking about is when you hit the green phone button (hard button) and you get the numpad with the “Last Call” listed near the top left corner. Then you hit the button a second time to call that person. So it is essentially the ability to quickly hit the green button twice and redial that person.
If the “Last Call” is a contact assigned as a myFave, this feature does not work. Sure the name and little myFave logo will appear under “Last Call”, but the person that it will dial will be the last non-myFave person in your recent call history.
I absolutely hate this not working correctly. You would think that T-Mobile could do some testing before they realase software like this. But hey, what do I know…..
I use myFaves a lot, hell I almost double my allotted minutes just in myFaves calls a month. So I have to be able to take advantage of myFaves.
So my question is: Can I remove the “myFaves” application and still retain the use of myFaves through myTmobile.com?
I cannot wait till someone releases an update….
If someone could make a cab of it you could uninstall it and try. I would think they would be able to keep track of who your faves were for billing purposes independent of your phone settings. I never had myfaves and the app never installed on my wing, but its a pretty darn important feature for those who do. Hopefully there will soon be updates and rom cooking and we'll see stable non-tmobilized-crap roms out there. When I had my wizard, the cooked roms were always way more stable than the tmobile ones. It might be that running the myfaves cab on a more generic rom would clear up the bugs. Wish they'd stop delaying the RUU releases...

I'm adding this to the "call to action topic"
If you delete "List" from the registry, located in HKLM\Security\Phone\NoLog and soft reboot. Your MyFave people will show up on your call log.
T-Mobile data devices are not running myfaves well at all.
Think your Wing has myfaves problems?? Check out the Pearl.
Hopefully it can be fixed, myfaves is an awesome rateplan, and on all the regular handsets it works perfectly, just all the data devices dont like it.
notifications and myfaves problem

I use the Touch-IT 2.3 ROM without myfaves running and notification and billing both work just fine. The myfaves app is just that, an app. It doesn't provide any special t-mo network capabilities, as that is managed as part of your account, not your phone.
Your notifications problem sounds like some kind of corruption of settings rather than a problem with myfaves; did the suggestion below related to "list" help at all?

its not corruption because i had the exact same problems and numerous amounts of others have said the same thing. I disabled the myfaves app and i can still call those same 5 people and wont be billed for it and i can change the 5 my going through mytmobile.com

This worked for me!!
Did anyone figure this out?
I also can't use the green phone button for redial (only) of specific (speed dial?) numbers. It's a hassle.
I also miss calls, but only from these same people. I do suspect it's a software problem, specifically and extended rom problem. I too have tried several OS ROMs, and all of the radio ROMs I can.
I don't have a myFaves plan or the app.
I'd like to try a fresh extended ROM next, but if someone has figured this out, since it's happened to me a lot (maybe getting the settings from Tmo automagically?) I'd rather tackle it directly rather than try to shot-gun solve it.
*********
As it turns out, the three people I was missing calls from were using old sim cards. Yes, three, and they were all something like eight years old. They all have had them replaced and everything is fine. Given this post, however, I'm going to sign up for myfaves.
I downloaded the latest version of phoneAlarm to provide different alerts for different e-mails (e.g. Sound loud alarm tone if e-mail from girlfriend, else don't make a peep, etc..).
I have read through the docs, and attempted to configure it but it seems to work very intermittently. All sorts of issues, like either it doesn't sound an alert, or it blinks the alert for a second but makes no sound, or it plays like 1 second of the alert tone but then dissapears.
Just wondering if anyone else uses the product for this purpose and if so how successful they are.
thanks
LOL welcome to the world of PhoneAlarm. Actually there are certain versions that work well and then there are some releases that really have issues. What version (Full or Lite) and what release of phone alarm are you running? I have had very good results from 1.61.1(#176) if you cannot find it on the PocketMax site let me know and I will post it. I use it daily for work.
-McMex
let me know if you can post it. i've downloaded the full version from pocketmax and i'm having problems as well. i need it specifically for work when i can not always hear the phone the first time.
This version has never given me an issue I have not ever upgraded it works so well for me.
-McMex
I use phoneAlarm too, but not exactly for the reasons given by you in the first post (sound loud alarm tone if e-mail from girlfriend...). I use it for the automatic profile changes based on time of the day and based on appointments. It works flawlessly...
Now I will try for what you are using it for, and let you know.
(So, if you give me your girlfriend's number/email, I will set it to ring loud and let you know if it works )
Is there a program that you can set an "away status" that will auto reply to text messages (and possibly calls, but not as important)?
SMS autoreply
Killer mobile Blackballer. Sounds scary but it is a call and SMS filtering software that claims to do that I have not tried it but the price is fairly reasonable, so I may.
Here is the link:
http://www.killermobile.com/newsite...aller--call-&-message-filter--blacklist.htm
I think they have a trial period. If you try it, please provide feedback.
A nice find, and indeed it "supposedly" does what I am asking, but after installing the software and attempting to use it, I uninstalled it in five minutes. Horribly unintuitive, buggy, etc.. thank you for posting, though!
Anyone else know of another program? I found a program called BaseIsReply, but it wont work with the ROM I am using (throws an error).
Found a program called Mobliza.. checking it out now.
hello try this
the phone already has an option doesnt it . i thikn it is only for phone calls tho.
Try Magicall.
Has a whole lot of options, and you can enable and disable it with a simple click.
I've used it for a while, works like a charm.
Try SMS Minder. Works great on my Sprint TP. Here is the link to the thread on XDA.

It is freeware.
Look, before you say anything, I've searched the forums, and I haven't found anything. This has been bugging me for too long, and it's getting really annoying, since I need a phone that can, you know, take calls.
Whenever anyone calls me, the phone rings three times on their side before I even get the call on my side. At that point, I have about 3 seconds to get the phone before the call goes to voicemail & I get a missed call notification. I've been looking on forums, and everything I see tells me to type in an MMI code on the Dialer, but every time I do, I get the "call forwarding connection problem or invalid mmi code" error message, which is just as annoying.
I have a suspicion that this has to do with YouMail, but I'm not sure. I can't even change my voicemail number with YouMail's instructions, because the MMI codes I type in always result in that same error message. I can change the Voicemail number from the main screen, but I can't change the forwarding numbers (When busy, when unavailable, etc) even in the G1's menus.
I'm running CyanogenMod firmware 4.1.9.2, but it's been bugging me like this since CyanogenMod firmware 4.0.4 was on my phone. Does anyone have any solutions? And please, don't tell me to search the forums. I absolutely hate that. I've searched the forums, and I can't find anything. Literally, nothing shows up. If you know there's a thread that's solved this, don't tell me to find it, just link it here.
First step would be to eliminate apps and skins. If you can I would do a backup of what you need and wipe and flash a firmware.
There have been several complaints about this issue. There are a few threads about this and possible solutions. They are in the rom dev section. One way that might help is to move ring tones back to /system/media/audio. When they are on the sd, they seem to delay. Another thing is to set it to ring and vib. Vibrate always starts on first ring. Atleast, it will vibrate and then ring and vibrate. Better that a total delay. But moving ringtones to system helps alot. That should help a bit... good luck
Er, how dp I do that? It doesn't work in ASTRO, and both adb push and cp from the terminal give a read only error.
The easiest thing to do would be to get root explorer and move them that way (since you can mount /system with it) or go to recovery console and type
Code:
mount system
mount sdcard
cp [dir in sdcard] [dir in system]
reboot
Sorry for the crappiness of the code but i am using my phone to post.

I swear. It's stupid posts like this that makes me what to stay away from the Q&A section and stop answering questions all together.
Very crappy david, crappy crappy crappy
By the way no offense
Yeah, I know that irrates you
also search for miketaylor00 on the forums. in his sig is a link to a script he wrote which will give priority to the phone components to speed up ring times. His script is included in the JAC builds
edit: i should leave my browser open all day.... binary answered first
I've tried heaps (got like 30 in my start menu), done many searches... Tired of heresay and finding out none really work. I want to easily block people off my touch pro. Anyone have a working version of anything?
Answer(credit to mtem1985): Magicall http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html It's a great little program, can block calls/sms with auto delete, logging, notifications, etc... it can even send a message back to your harrasser like "I told you there is more fish in the sea" or just "You Are Blocked"
Pretty cool, suited my needs perfect.
Here Here! I had the mistake of giving a guy at work my cell number because he "needed a favor" thinking he needed me to work for him and just to find out he wanted to bug me and talk about absolutely nothing. EVERY SINGLE DAY! And it doesn't matter if I yell at him at work and not respond ever to his messages. He still manages to text me all the time a couple times a day! HELP SOMEONE!
Nobody knows of a working one eh?
i've used magicall in the past,
Worked great for me. give it a try
Works perfect, thanks man.
hey there~
i am fairly certain that the free call firewall has all those abilities. i use it to automatically route certain callers to vm. you can auto reply to blocked call via sms if u want. you can specify a black list for calls and sms and even add a blocked call to a reminder list!
hope that helps
~j
Here you go. Hope this helps your problems out.. Good luck
Ur welcome
I've given my phone number to some people that i shouldn't give to, so in need of a program that could solve this problem for me, i've come across this one.
back in the times when i used winmo 6.1 you could set the app to block incoming calls, and sms and it wouldn't even show an icon that something happend. the only way to know if this person tried to call you or text you, you should go into the logging area
