1. You cannot do anything on the phone. You have to setup your voicemail that way.
2. Are you saying that you are not seeing anything on the popup box or are you saying that they are small and not so readable? If it is the latter, then you have to rely on 3rd party programs (ex: Photo Contacts Pro or S2U2). Search the forums for these two programs.

I found on the phone that you can alter the delay before the phone switches to "voice Mail"
on the second problem.....
the box pops up in the lower part of the screen . The bottom section isnt high enough to shown the full ID contact name etc its hidden

2. Reordering the plugins or deactivating a couple you don't need may do the trick. I think it's under 'settings -> Today.

Where can I find this setting?

On my T-Mobile MDA Vario III (UK) you can find this option as follows:
Start>Settings>Personal Tab>Phone>Service Tab
Highlight the "Call Forwarding" option in the list and click "Get Settings...."
You should then see a list of network settings, one of which is:
Forward phone calls only if:
Then a ticked box next to "No answer: Voicemail"
Below this change the value for "Forward after" in the drop down list - multiples of 5 secs from 5 to 30.
When you are done click OK and you should be good to go.
I hope its the same on yours!?

Change default time for call forwarding
Hi,
Due to our operator procedure i have to acivate call forwarding by dialing special command. It is not a problem, however every time I cancel call forwarding and activate it again, I have to adjust timing for it. By default it is set to 20 seconds and I need it to be 5. Any tricks how can I do that? Tried to find it in registry, but no luck.

Make Private Call / Hide Number feature?

I finally ordered my phone so I am anxiously waiting for delivery.
I was wondering as I couldn't find any info in the manual nor on this forum...does the phone have a built in feature to make the out-going call private or hide number?
I know the GSM code #31# but I know some phones have the feature to always do this on calls or individual calls.
If there is no feature, is there a 3rd party app?
Thank you in advance.
So much to learn here...

there's an option in the phone settings to turn off outbound caller id.

Excellent...thanks!

of course I reject all incoming calls that have caller ID turned off to keep the telemarketers away. Just something to keep in mind if you have some tech savvy friends who do the same.

"Only to contacts" is broken. You still need to dial *82 or whatever; it's not automatic.

Thanks.
*31# shows the ID as all my friends' numbers in Contact has that in front of the phone number. I've been using it for years on my other phones.
Hopefully *31# will override the HTC "caller id to no one" setting.
There are just too many customers that I call that I do not want them to have my cell number. If they reject my call then we'll play voicemail tag
Thanks for all the replies. I can't wait to get my new phone!

i call *31# now can not call anyone ?!!

[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?

Call History full of 'unknown' blank numbers

I've been using the One for a few months, it's running the latest, unmodified OS.
Yesterday I noticed the call history is full of 'Unknown' blank numbers. To clarify - I take a call, when I finish the call enters the history as a blank entry, with name 'Unknown, and NO NUMBER showing for the call.
Looking through the list, it's happened to most incoming calls.
It never used to do this until yesterday.
I'm wondering what's changed! Why would it start to do this?
Any help appreciated!

Thanks Yatindroid, I tried all that, but the first call I made it happened again. A true record of the call in the history, and alongside it a blank verson

which android version you are having ?? if it is 4.4.2 u will not face this Unknown ID issue.
only the 4.4.3 update made issues for caller ID which doesn't recognize the country code of that related country service provider. when you remove the country code it will show the correct ID but then the Viber/Whatsapp/Line will not recognize the number without the Complete phone number.
you can by pass this by going the Gmail > Settings > Phone numbers: Default country code: "put a country you will never visit"

Thanks for the responses guys - I actauly fixed this yesterday, but thinking what it was I recently installed when this started... and uninstalling it! It was the Klick app (Cheap eBay version of the 'Pressy' Button!)
Uninstalled it and now it behaves fine.
BTW The Klick button is sort of OK, you can set it to launch an app, ie the camera, but intuitively then you expect it to also operate the camera, which it doesn't. Plus setting it to operate even when the screen is locked (as you would probably want, for instant-access) of course means I was always finding I'd knocked it.
So a good idea, but not really that functional. plus caused a glitch with my phone history!

Also HTC headset fix app causes it in 4.4.3 - it adds empty number socdouble click doesn't recall on headphones!

Dial / DTMF tones during a call not being played - Samsung say it's not a feature!

Use Case:
1. Call a conference call number eg: WebEx
2. You are asked to enter the meeting number
3. You press the numbers but no tones are played
Had a tech support call with Samsung just now.
Firstly they say this isn't a feature on EU Note 8s (WTF!)
Then say it should work out of the box and my phone is faulty so take it to a Samsung centre for evaluation / exchange
I reckon this is a software bug. Can someone else in the EU dial any number and when you're connected to the call, press a number on the dial pad and tell me if you hear the tone played?

Im not in EU, but in the states it works fine, i have many conference calls daily and it always works for me entering my codes to get into the call. It should be working fine on your model as well, possible a issue with the carrier side of things or its turned off in the hidden settings.
Edit:
Try ##DATA#, if it brings up a menu, put in 000000 as your msl, then go to More, then go to DTMF SET. See if its off or not set at all? US model has a option here for this at least.

Hi
The ##2832# doesn't work on my phone. It's a real pig seeing as I work remotely!
Don't even seem to be able to use a 3rd party DTMF tone generator either (well I can but the system at the other end isn't hearing the tones).

I have a Galaxy N950N and I have this same issue. Did you ever get this working? I can't seem to find a secret service menu to enable it, and I know I'm doing something wrong here.

Hi
Not specifically a fix but the only place I'm having issues with is WebEx. If you try your voicemail, does that work ok? Mine is fine but for some reason WebEx isn't

Mine doesn't work across the board, irrespective of voicemail or other conference call. No dial tone is played in-call when you press the dial pad.

Figured it out. It's the CSC. Apparently, it doesn't work properly with the N950N (at the least the one I had installed, which was default with the Renovate ROM). I had to use the Flashable CSC Selection V1.2.5 from Tkkg1994, manually add the greatlte line into it, and once flashed, I got all the options in the dialer for TTY (I think which relates to DTMF), and most importantly, sound feedback when pressing the dialpad while in-call.

Solution
Go to settings -> sound and vibration -> uncheck the the dialling keypad tones(if checked).
Hope this helps!

this works. Go figure... you disable the dialling keypad tones and you can now use the keypad tones. Thanks for the help. This has infuriated me for months

I had not payed any attention to this, as I used some services that require you to input numeric options during call, and all worked fine, but, yes, no tones heard, but the tones are sent anyway

What worked for me was dialing the original number manually - not from the phone memory or contacts!

I use a Gigaset HC450 Doorbell that is able to divert a call.
This is a rare device, check ebay, it is a DECT phone on a Siemens Gigaset IP Base Station with a SIP provider configured)
So if someone presses the doorbell button on the Gigaset HC450 and status is set to AWAY
then the configured SIP provider inside the BASE station does an external call to my mobile because I set up my mobile number inside the HC450 Menu for Diversion
So my mobile is a Samsung Note 8, at the moment i run Stock Hungarian unbranded firmware N950F
When there is a call from the doorbell, there is a sentence said by a female voice: "Doorbell is ringing, to connect press 1, to stop press hash"
I cannot proceed by pressing 1, neither with Dialpad tones activated nor deactivated, and also a 3rd party DTMF tone generator does not work
Someone in this thread said it was fixed by flashing different CSC, which i think is not true because many said that they got webex fixed by simpy DEACTIVATING dialpad tones
I am greatful for all ideas that you have in order to get this working, its a new challange and I found this thread so I posted my topic here, too
Thank you very much for reading
