Sounds like some how you blacklisted the number from calling you, go into your dialer and go to logs, long press on the contact from one of the times you called them and see if there is an option to remove from reject list

Hence the meaning of a call log...it tells you exactly who you called and when. I don't think there is a fix for this but you can always change the options in the menu to show you what you want....for example. Missed Calls, Outgoing Calls, ect....
I was quite annoyed with this in the beginning. On the original ATT dialer, if you press the d-pad down instead of going to call logs it will show you the last several calls before going to your contacts list. This is what I usually used when I was using this dialer. This in turn is compacting your call log to the calls the you dialed or just received.
Hope this helps

Incoming call

When i am using my Kaiser and i am in the middle of a conversation, and there is a incoming call i get to know about it but the caller does not get a busy tone instead he gets a normal ringing tone.
This creates confusion as the caller feels i am ignoring his call, whereas actually i am in the middle of a conversation.
How to ensure that the caller gets a phone busy tone when i am in the middle of a call?
Cheers.
Start>Settings>Personal>Phone>Services
Click on "Call Waiting" and click Get Settings , enable "Notify Me"..
Read the WIKI and STICKY for more info.
he actually asked how to let the other caller get a busy signal... he seems to be seeing the call.
to answer the question. i think you need to set it with your operator.
Sounds like you're wanting no "call waiting" at all. Best bet is to ask your cell phone company if they can either remove that feature or disable it.
I didn't see any phone settings in my Tilt that would allow the user to do so.

When i enable the call waiting notification, and i am on a call, the other caller gets a busy signal (you get to hear beeps and not the phone ring)...& i get a missed call from the caller on my phone...
That's what i thought i thought the OP wanted...
thanks reaper it is working now.
Most welcome mike...

connect 3rd caller while already in call

I have a sprint touch pro, and i want to kno how to connect an incoming call to the other line. Im alerayd in one call, somone else calls me i pick it up, but then i want to connect the 2 lines. get it? does anyone kno how to do this? Ive alreayd searched the forums, and i already know how to make a conference call the by ME callin both, but thats a hassle sometimes
as with any GSM and later mobile phone you answer your second call (this will auto put the first call on hold)then dial the number 3 and then press the call button again, this will conference (3 way) the calls.
When you answer the second call, the first one becomes on hold, just go to the menu and hit "Conference"

I dont think sprint have a conference button...
Go walk in to a sprint store and ask them, if they're anything like AT&T, they don't know **** about what they're selling and will have you call HTC. now really?

Who says that you should receive a notice as to what the other person is doing when you call ?

yes, but that doesn't have nothing to do with your phone. It's a provider's (vendor/operator) service. And only some of them support it
Actually @t_assal is correct, he meant if I call a guy who is calling someone else and this guy is activated the call waiting function, I have to get a message "waiting" and then you decide to continue disturbing him or to hang up.
Also @papo is correct that his is an operator thing.
But the problem that the operator send me back this waiting signal, and neither my iPhone nor my Nexus one shows this message, but my 10 years old Nokia show it. the same sim card used in the three phones for this test.
Which means the waiting signal which sent by the operator "maybe only Mr. t_assal's and mine" is not recognized by neither iPhone nor nexus1 (also winmo)
We need a solution

we need to make clear about this. Just to make post short and spare my brain waves, I supposed (wrongly?) he messed it up and is referring to sms which called party get after finish his call.
That's the service I've wrote about.
It's handy if you are off, turn phone on and receive message from Bob, but it's automated and saying he tried to call and you can hit call back btn. In some countries/operators it's common.
Why would I want a message saying Bill is busy on call, 5 secs after I hear beep beep from the line? But yes that would be phone function and it's possible to handle. It's a network message, nokia is showing them by default (and can't be turned off!!!! :-S )
Make an application showing message such as this is possible and there could be one. Just what the purpose?
Though there is one useful info there. After active call ends, phone will receive network message containing code, which describes reason of ended call: red button by called, caller, lost reception (out of coverage or battery), network error, network busy
If you often make people angry over line and they hang on you, with this cell code you can have an monthly statistic of upset people or whatever you want. aah just cant see any reason to have this eather
run windows\fieldtest.exe and check it there, that's good enough.
sorry to hear ppl who thinks they know it all and says bull****..
The fact is clear, whe u call some one who has HIS call waiting service active UR phone MUST indicate U the other person call status. that's what call waiting means. usually "call on waiting.." or something, but STILL ringing and the othrer person hears some indicator beep or someting , and HE desides to take the call or not.
the bug is Iphone 3gs, 4g (and nexus aparently) don't show this message "call waiting" like ALL other phones, in my case, OMNIA II, nokia, (with the same SIM card) shows the msg.
please don't coment if u dont know and PLEASE lowercase and regular font. NOOBS.
sorry for my bad english.

Who's the noob? You double posted and no this isn't a fact, I've never had a phone tell me when someone is on a call. There are some carriers that have a tone at the end of the ring to let you know they are on another call..
I think you are confusing your words, your phone should alert you (the person getting the call) that someone is calling you while on another line, it's not the other way..
Provide some info stating other wise that isn't half ass typed like the **** you are posting.
Yes it's true I had this problem since i started using PDA phones only (HTC Mda compact, then HTC Tytn 2 and the HTC HD2), I think problem only exists when using PDA phones because ''call waiting'' function is working on my all other symbian phones like (Samsung, Nokia, .... with symbian)
It might be with Windows mobile phones not sure, but don't know if there is any fixing for this specially for HTC HD2 ..
thanks

Missed calls...

Sorry this is really basic.
I was informed by my carrier that calls made to my voice mail will be indicated on my phone and that the caller ID and time of call will be visible in the missed call log.
Well I did a test and yes, there is an indicator that a voice mail is waiting, but where can I find the Caller ID/tel. number?
TIA
There is an app that does that if that is any good to you.
Is it not under the Call Log in the Phone?

Yeah that's where you would think it would be.
The only thing that's showing up there are calls I have made, not any incoming voice messages/missed calls.
Is there are other place to look?
I've also looked at messaging, but that looks like it's just for text/sms messages.
The only thing that comes in is a notification on the home page saying "new voicemail dial +1-647-xxx-xxxx"
There is nothing about the caller ID.
That's a bummer.

Sure, what's the app?
You would think a brand spanking new phone like this would have this feature?
I mean I'm subscribing to caller ID.
I think it is an Android thing as my last one didn't have it either.
It is called Missed call.
I haven't used them yet but there are also apps that act as an on phone message machine so you do not have to call your voicemail box and if your like me, get charged for it.

Very odd. My Call Log shows calls I've made, calls I've received and missed calls that got bounced to voicemail (Green left arrow for received, orange right arrow for dialled and red angled arrow for missed calls)

I'm slowly figuring out this puzzle.
I was inquiring about two specific situations (which I hadn't made clear).
The first is when I have my phone turned off (flight mode) and I receive a call.
Is it possible with any software to find out these missed calls (caller ID/time)?
The second is when a call is made (again with phone turned off) and a voice message is left in my box.
In this situation my I9000 just notifies me that there is a voice mail. It doesn't tell me who called or the time (in the call log or anywhere else).
If I have my phone turned on, then yes, if I don't answer it (missed call) it will show up in the call log (caller ID and time).

I'm curious about these apps. It would be nice to avoid charges for accessing my voicemail box.
How can these apps possibly help though? Surely they must answer the phone call before they can record it? Once they answer the call, you're zapped with the charge, just as if you listened to a recorded voicemail.
Why would you be charged for someone else phoning you? The phone answers and records the message to the SD. There is also a version I believe that cancels the incoming call and then sends a text to the caller with your own custom message. Of course with this you would be charged for the text.

Because I live up in the frozen white north (Canada) where phone companies are making a killing charging you for both out and in calls.
