Incoming/outgoing calls to people in MyFav 5 not being logged

I decided to post this in a new thread. Sorry if it was the wrong thing to do.
I installed some of the cabs found here, specifically the HTC plugins
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326655
After performing the mods, the call history is not logging any calls to/from people that are in my fave 5 anymore. So I thought maybe the actual My Fav 5 program is logging the calls now, but no, it's not.
Anyone else experiencing this? The today screen plugin for missed calls does not increment by one when i have a missed call from someone in my fave 5, the call history does not log any of my fave 5 calls, and the My Faves program does not log them anymore either.
Any have any suggestions? What could have caused this problem? One of the HTC cabs I installed maybe?
Thank you in advance!

I'm really stumped here. This is my last try to bump the thread up in hopes that someone has answer.

hmm? My MyFaves is setup correctly. The problem is that my phone doesn't report/log any calls that are to or from people in my My Faves list. It reports/logs all other calls though.

I guess since all calls to myfaves people are free ... the phone doesn't register the calls or minutes used to those people so they aren't accounted for in any type of logs.

if you're running a custom rom, they wont be accounted for through any type on log on your phone
only way to track is through my-tmobile.com

I'm not running a custom ROM, just the HTC cabs and the pagepool hack.
It's disappointing because I don't know when someone from my My Fave 5 called me. It doesn't report it as a missed call! I'm not really trying to track the calls, I just want to be notified when I have a missed call.

I have the exact same problem. I have installed the same things. NOTHING in the call history involving anyone on fave 5. A fix for this would be huge for me. If anyone in my fav 5 calls and doesn't leave a message, it never tells me I have a missed call, and it never shows in the history. VERY frustrating.

Yeah that's the problem! I can't even find the calls from within the actual My Fav Program. The only thing listed in the log section are the text messages.
Something happened and we could really use a fix!

I got somewhere... someone sent me a private message and explained that they removed the "+" sign from the contacts.
Well I've tried to remove the country code, the plus sign, and tried formatting the number is different ways. So far I have gotten the outgoing calls to be logged, but if you call the person using the htc favorite people plugin or the contact manager. Outgoing calls are still not logged when calling via the myfave program.
I keep trying different things. Would someone mind sharing the format of the numbers in their contact manager and then also the format of the numbers in the myfave program? Thanks

I just edited the my favs contact number directly from the contact program (not the my favs program) with ####### no spaces, it automatically reformatted it to (xxx)xxx-xxxx, and it logs both incoming and outgoing calls fine from the 5 tab favorite contact screen. I don't have touch flo installed just have the regular interface skinned with the 5 tab, Pocket CM contact list, the htc dialpad, and the htc new default theme. It took me a few mins just messing with the contact number to get it working, but once it works, it works.

Ok..it seems to log outgoing calls that way....but no luck on incoming, what about missed calls? I seem to only have luck on it working when I dial them.
Also, when they call, their number shows up with their name and the "1(xxx)...." before it, even though the "1" isn't in the number in contacts. That probably has something to do with it...but I can't seem to fix that.
After editing them from my contacts, I still see they have the +1 in myfaves, which also seems to be having an effect.

For anyone that might know...
Is there a way I could just remove the myfaves application, which is probably a main cause of it not working right? I can just call them from my contacts or the home page contacts, which works for me if it means missed calls will show. So is it possible to just remove the application altogether? I assume it would still work because I could still access the numbers (and change them if necessary) online.

Welllllllllllllll.......
I went back, hard reset my wing, installed the stock t-mobile RUU. I then added things back one by one figuring I'd figure out which thing was causing my problem. It seems the pagepool is causing SOME problem (it doesn't NOTIFY me when I miss a call), but now even with everything I previously had installed, all calls show up in call history. I don't mind that it's not notifying me, as long as I can do a quick click into call history and see if I missed anything, so all is well now, I guess. I added my home phone # into my fav 5 (since I had an empty spot open anyway) and tested with that, calling back and forth over and over...it all seems to work fine. I'll be 100% sure when my gf or one of my friends calls me tomorrow, but it looks like I fixed it for now.

Start > Programs > myFaves > Menu > myFaves Settings > Refresh myFaves
If that doesn't solve your problems, log in to your My T-mobile account on the web and at least make sure you aren't getting charged regular minutes for your faves.

Call Forwarding shortcuts....

Anyone have a shortcut for enabling call forwarding? I always forward to the same number. I would like to be able to use a button or voice command to bring up the call forwarding screen, and then just click yes/OK to enable or disable it. Anyone else using this?
By the way. I have been using ATT's fast forward service for a couple of years. Do I need to continue paying for this, or will the phone redirect the calls?
Thanks,
Tom

Bump. I'd really love to find how to do this also, I'm doing it several times a day ...

On my 8925 phone I created two contacts.
Turn Forwarding On:
_OnForward
*21*5125551212#
(replace 5125551212 with the areacode and phone number you want to forward your calls to)
Turn Forwarding Off:
_OffForward:
##21#
The _ puts the two items at the top of my contacts list. I click contacts and then press call on the selected forwarding option. Sometimes I get an error message "command not supported", but that is related to my phone's connection strength and not the programming. This has been working well for me for about a year. I have tried to make a couple of buttons that dial the contacts directly from another screen, but that hasn't worked. You have to open contacts and the press call on the option you want.
Later-

Good morning gents.
I have an HTC TyTN II with Win Mobile 6.1
I created the contacts like that and on my "Favorite People" page I put the contact there, it just says :
"Cannot Complete the call. the Signal may be unavailable or the phone number may not be valid. Verify the number or try again later."
From the contact list it works of course.
Another question regarding call forwarding. Is there a way to have an icon on the top bar that says the call ARE being forwarded... I keep missing a couple of calls that end on my home answering machine because I forgot to forward

Vesperatus-
I have all of your same issues. As far as I know, there aren't any solutions. You just have to remember to unforward your phone.....

Unable to call contacts

I am unable to call any contacts from the touch flo 3d contacts page.
Nothing happens when I tap on any of the phone numbers for a contact.
I can send a text or email from the contacts page.
If I tap on the more option I can make a call from the screen that then appears by pressing the left soft menu key.
Anyone know how to get the functionality back?

is adding a contact picture allow you to make a call?
if so this is a known issue for certain late rom.

No adding a picture to the contact does not allow me to make a call.
Does not make any difference if the contact has a photo or not. Or if I try to dial from the favourites contact page or the all contacts page.
The rom is the standard htc one (v 3.43.25.19) that came with the phone only had the phone a week and a half.

Found out what was causing the problem.
Pocket Shield has an option to use the WM dialer when using the slide to answer functionality.
It claims that the slide to answer is more responsive when using the WM dialer and recommends using it.
Once I unticked this option the ability to dial from the contacts returned.

Calling from contacts list

I seem to have a recurring issue. I can not make a phone call from my contacts list. If I go to my contacts and tap call mobile or call home it does not launch the phone. It does nothing. If I tap email or sms it works fine. The only way I can make a phone call is to manually type the number in. I have tried different roms from different people and I have the same issue.
Has anyone come across this? Is this a common issue ? Is there a fix for it ?

Might be able to help out more if we knew what ROM you are using. I do not have this issuse and have used Miri, Duttys and PhamQuang ROMs.

I have used the wm6.5 energy Leo rom, I 've used Miri's 6.5 v9 manila 2.5 rom and Dutty's 6.5 R4 rom and they have all done the samething. Right now I currently have Dutty's 6.5 Leo R4(MSVC) rom installed. The funny this is that at first it worked just fine but when I started adding the contacts I used the most to the quick launch in the contacts list is when this started happening. The other roms did it right off the bat.

what other programs do you have installed on your phone? do you have other apps that include contacts functionality? also, are you trying to call from the Manila contacts app or the Windows contacts app? can you call contacts that are not on your People (Favorites) page? i have no problems initiating calls from the Windows and Manila contact apps by tapping "Call Mobile", "Call Home", etc. given your issue is not ROM specific, i'm inclined to believe its related to software or something stored with your contacts.

i have no other contact apps installed. i can not make any calls from quick contact list or from the "all people" list

after you flash a ROM, how are you reloading your contacts? if syncing, what is the source? after your next flash, i recommend adding a few contacts manually (3-5) and then determine if you can initiate calls from the by tapping "Call Mobile", "Call Home", etc. if you can, then reload your existing contacts and try initiating calls again. if it doesn't work, then the next item (in the process of elimination steps) is to review your contacts for info that could be causing the problem. fyi, i'm using MS Exchange to store and reload my contacts after flashing a ROM.

I am syncing with my PC and pulling my contacts from outlook. does it make a difference if you add a contact to the favorites list having the phone number or sms number as the number saved to quick contacts ?
I just noticed that if I go to start menu, click contacts, I can make calls that way.
The only apps I have installed is, tomtom7, slide to unlock and tweak HD

OK I finally found the problem In tweak HD if you go down to 1.8 phone pad style. I had it set to windows because i don't like the slide to answer call. When I put this setting back to HD (default) I was able to make calls from the manilia people tab and all contacts list.
So I guess I'll just have to choose either to not use the manilia people tab to make calls so I can answer the phone using the phone soft key, or use the people tab and have to deal with the slide to answer call. Unless there's another way to disable the slide to answer call

ahhhh... yeah, it's typically something we install and forgot or we assume it didn't have any impact on our issue. fyi, you don't have to use slide-to-answer to answer a call. i never use it, lol, i always use the send key (key to the left of the home key) to answer calls or the end key to ignore the call. glad you got it sorted out.

yea amazing. As you can see it drove me crazy. I found the solution by accident. The only thing I hate now is when I get a call the caller ID from slide to unlock comes up ( which is the one I prefer ) and the windows/manila one keeps flashing on top of it.
Otherwise Dutty's rom seems pretty solid

Camera zoom
I noticed that I do not have the zoom function with this rom, which I knew already, but if I was to install the old camera cab to get the zoom function back would I lose the ability to take pics at 5megs ?
Also I have tweak HD installed and it unlocked some good features like burst and sport, would I lose those functions ?

[Q] Remove SMS from call log?

I notice since Froyo, the Call log now records even SMS received and send. This makes for a long and messy log if you do a lot of texting.
I only want the Call Log to show calls but the "View as" menu only have separate options for calls received, made and miss. There is no way to view all calls.
Is there a hack or settings somewhere I missed out? Or alternatively, can we disable the logging of sms totally?

same question as above..
the reason i registered to this forum is only this, its very annoying,
there must be a fix or android must fix this, sometimes i miss my iphone call list, where there is not an endless list with both recieved, called and sms, worst is that its not imbedded within each contact.
if that was possible then i can manage to have the sms log in there to.
and why not have the option of having both recieved, called and missed in the same settings.. doesnt make sense at all..
im sorry for this to be first post, i a total noob when it comes to coding for android, which i intend to learn..
thank you for a great forum btw..
i hope there will be a fix to this
/valle

I would like to have a fix for this too. The call log gets extremely long.

since froyo upgrade i am having the same issue. whts the use of logging text msgs anyways.. it gets recorded on its own thread. Me and my gf text a lotttt. now if i want to call someone from my history logs.. i cant simply find them cuz i have to scroll down 500 msgs to find that number.. there shud be fix for this thing..

Still no fix eh?
I tried selecting one of the options, such as "dialed calls" and it works... until you close the log and then try to make another call, and it all comes back to the same story... wtf android?
