Call settings for G1 - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have a conflict where telemarketers call my number with ridiculous numbers with 3 or 4 digit numbers only showing up. Is there a way I can disable sound for when I get calls like this, or is there a way to just stop it altogether? Thanks in advance.

How to change incoming call timeout?

I have an XDA IIi with O2-UK. Don't like how it sends my callers to voicemail after approximately 3 rings.
Does anyone know how I can alter this setting please?
From what I can remember this is network controlled and not done via the phone. Try going through some of the menus in the voicemail setup, I know the SMS notification is there, so I think the number of rings is there as well.

Keypad disappears after dialing a number on Tilt

Has anyone figured out a registry tweak so that the keypad doesn't disappear after you dial a number on the Tilt. There must be a way to fix it - I notice when I push 1 for speed dial to call my voicemail the keypad remains on the screen, but when I dial any other number it disappears. This is one of the few annoyances I haven't been able to fix on my Tilt. Thanks.
Keep keypad when calling . . .

Excellent first question!
I don't know the answer, but I'd like to know, too.
Obviously you can hit the left softkey for "Keypad" but that's an extra step that one might prefer not to have to do, but rather have the keypad remain showing, and have the left softkey option be "Call Status"
If you call a lot of numbers where you have to enter more numbers when prompted, this might be the preferred default.
No one knows? I'd love to change this as well.
This is the first "fix" i need to do.
HTC should sort this out and provide a fee down load. They are silly to think it would not be a problem .
There is a fix etc.. but its part of a big bundle of stuff that scares most "newbies" away.
Can someone not make a simple fix just for this problem with a very easy method to download and set up etc
I am sure that many members do not have the technical minds of most of you!

Google Voice Ringtones

I have Google Voice on my G1, and I'm wondering if there is a way to use a different ringtone for incoming calls on my Google Voice number than from my regular phone number. I've looked around the options but can't find anything as of yet.
Am I missing something and the option is sitting there right in front of my face, or is it just not implemented yet to be able to change the ringtone?

Add your Google Voice number as a contact (I starred mine).
Then assign that contact a different ring tone.
done!

It still didn't work for me :/
The Google Voice number does not call my phone, it simply forwards the calls to my number when people call my GV number. So, say I call my GV number with my house phone, my G1 would display the incoming number as my house number and not change the ringtone to the GV one.

What you need to go is go to settings on GV and change "Caller Id" to display my gv number. That way you get free calls i mean your gv will be calling you. But make sure to put on call screening.

Thank you, that worked. Guess it was a GV issue and not a G1 issue, my bad.
Do you know who is calling you then when someone calls your gvoice number?
You would only know who is calling if you setup GV call screening, so the caller has to announce their name, and you press '1' to accept the call.
With GV passing through the original CID, I don't believe there is any way to set a different ringtone, as your phone isn't going to know the difference. If you use the third party GrooveIP, to send the GV call over IP instead of voice, there may be some other options.

How exactly do I get to the settings of GV to change the Caller ID? I cannot figure out where that setting is. Google again has a great service, but very poor direction or obscure directions on how to implement features. Please help me. Thank you very much.

[Q] Disable number auto-detection (and underlining) in SMS

Hi,
is there any way how to disable auto-detection of numbers in SMS's text, making them inactive and non-underlined? This feature is quite wild and inaccurate e.g. I received a message with date and time like "16.05.10 12:45" and "16.05.2010 12" got underlined and behaves like a phone number 16051012 Or even short numbers of 5 digits gets underlined.
Is it possible to disable it?
Thanks for any advice

[Q] AOSP GBMod Call Lost w/G-Voice and Voice Search

I recently switched to AOSP GBMod and have noticed something odd. When I'm using Google Voice and I select to call someone who has left a message who is not a contact of mine the call states "call lost" and doesn't go through. I believe that it's from the +1 added prior to the number that is causing this, because when I put the number in without the +1 the call goes through. Any ideas why this is? The same happens when I Google Voice Search a number a +1 is added to the number and the call doesn't go through, i.e. the number shows up as +1-920-933-5944. When I put 920-933-5944 the call goes through. Any help would be greatly appreciated
