I know this is a cell phone forum but I dont know where else to go. this is for my HOME PHONE. In my house we are getting "private name, Private number" calls in the early hours on random days. I dont believe it is a business because they call on saturdays or sundays. my roomate thinks its some old jealous boyfriend or something. so this is what i am looking for:
1) first, is there any technology for home phones that lets you disable caller id blocking without the caller knowing it? i have heard it done on cell phones
2) is there anything that i can attach to my home phone that will let me regulate when calls can come in? say i want to turn the line off between 11:00 PM and 8:00AM so when someone calls a message says something like "this person is not excepting calls at this time" or whatever.
like i said, i know this is a cell phone forum so if there is any other better place to go i am all ears. any info would help. i really want to find out who this person is and incinerate them because i am losing sleep!!
lodge a police report. take the official police report copy to the telco company. get the number of the person who is bugging you (with official police report + a court subpoena - telco companies have to disclose the user. sue his ass in court for harrassment. get tonnes of cash. stop coming to this forum for unrelated **** like this. its annoying to entertain dumb chicks who thinks they can do [email protected]@anytime.

tell me the last time you've seen a home phone that has an os that can run apps besides the phones that has a firm firmware? stop being such a bimbo and hope that everything can be solve with some app. i bet you have been searching through google and found nothing. the matter of fact is no amount of software or hardware or application can do any good in this situation when the telco company blocks the caller id from its switchboards. you have to go throught them to get the records. as this is considered as a harassment case you'll might end up with the records to help you get a restraining order of some sort. the worst part is, if the stalker is calling from a payphone, youre royally screwed.
as a final note, check with your telephone service provider. even in thrid world countries they offer call screening and call guard features. this fora serves 99% topics regarding pocket pc/smartphone running either windows mobile or android os. you're in the wrong place. so now make like a tree...

You should just be able to call your carrier and you can get a package to have calls like this blocked.

This is most likely what will end up happening. im hoping they offer a service that makes the caller either choose to unblock there number or hang up. i believe i have heard of that before. but i thought it would be much more fun to find out who the person is without them knowing. which isnt too far from possible, happens on cell phones and i have heard it happen for homephones. regardless of what mr. narrowminded says up there.
Mod Warning
To both the OP and Bevoc,
This post may be off topic but you are both violently in breach of rule 2 and appropriate action being taken against you both. Please be considerate.
I will move this thread to off topic.

First of all you will have to either know WM6.5 like the back of your hand and use the calender feature with it, or have a WM6.5 phone available to change stuff and see what I'm talking about to answer this question.
I had a Touch Pro 2 TMOUS. I hate SENSE because one, it looked like a kids toy and I'm an adult and two, boy did it drain some battery life, and three, taking it off gave me exactly what I wanted in a phone.
I'm a simple business man and I send a few hundred texts a day, get emails, and use outlook to sync my calendar stuff. Now.....
If you go into the home screen options and turn "sense" off and then turn on message notifications, and date, and calendar. then you will have what I have been looking at for almost 2 years now, and I love it. With this configuration all emails and texts and anything else all show up on the same one line so it takes up as little space as possible and THE MOST IMPORTANT THING all my calendar info appears on the home screen in a nice no nonsense list form with block letters in normal print. I miss that the most.
I would put WM6.5 on my new HD7 just for that alone. but I'm hoping someone out there knows what I'm talking about and can give me a solution or an idea. And if someone suggests to buy a HD2 I'll just hunt you down and slice your throat lol. I do not have an HD2, I have an HD7, get over yourself, and do not wast my time with asinine comments like that.
all I want, is that format like the WM6.5. Simple and small block letters with one line for all notifications and the rest of the screen free for a no nonsense small print, block letter form, list configuration for my calendar items.
I have a full time job, full time kids, full time wife, and full time "Grace Jiu-Jitsu" hobby/business, and a full time life. At any given day I could have 3 or 15 calendar reminders for that day between childrens Dr. appointments, aniverseries, querterly car check ups, meetings with cliants, trash day tomorrow, kids games, shopping for food, multiple private lessons that day, etc etc etc etc.
Very busy life and the simple fact is I can not remember it all in my head. I need this. and I need my calendar to be on my home screen constantly every day so it's always in my face so I don't miss anything that day. If there is a theme that makes your home screen just like that, just like the WM6.5 optional home screen that would be perfect.
Does anyone know how to help me with this? And yes I actually have considered just getting the HD2, but I thought I would start here first and then work my way toward spending money to solve the problem.
Don't buy WP7. Maybe there's an Android Widget that'll do what you need.
I think you already know Live Tiles aren't going to do what you want.
There are plenty of Android Forums on the net.
You could buy a HD2 lol
But unless someone finds a way to remove the metro hub i dout it, and before anyone can look at getting 6.5 on these we would need a hard spl first
I'm sorry, but if your Touch Pro2 did everything you wanted, then why would you change devices? Stick with the Touch Pro2. Its still a very viable device and according to you it did what you wanted.
The HTC HD7 and Windows Phone 7, at this point in time, cannot do what you have found the Touch Pro2 can do. They are two different phones, with completely different platforms. Both these platforms go in different directions, so you'll probably just want to stick with the platform that works for you.
Windows Phone 7 does not have themes (aside from dark, light, and your accent color), or multiple home screens, or have anything from Windows Phone 6.5 built into it at all. So you just aren't going to get the same functionality. Windows Phone 7 does have a great calendar, but it does not function the exact same as you seem to be describing (although pinning the calendar to the home screen always shows you your very next appointment).
But in all honesty what makes you think suggesting an HD2 is so terrible? You clearly want a business phone, and although WP7 has the office suite, it certainly isn't (and has never been advertised as) a business phone. The market WP7 has been pointed at is pretty much the same market as the iphone market. People who want to watch films on there phone, listen to music, and just generally get things done without wasting time.
If you rely on the features you've stated so much, i hate to say it but you've made a terrible decision in investing in what is essentially a brand new OS.
I think someone needs to get over themselves, but it certainly isn't the person/people who suggest you get a HD2.
So.. My calendar live tile serves me exactly as you state. I see the most recent appt on the tile itself. Tapping said tile takes me to all appointments for that day.
WP7 (not WM7), is nothing like WM6.5.
Ironically, the answer anyone here would give you, is to buy an HD2. They're by and large the same phone, and there are those that would argue the HD2 is better.
However, WP7 is light years ahead of WM6.5, imo. I've got 20 of them in a business and very few people complain. The platform isn't even a half year old.
"I do not have an HD2, I have an HD7, get over yourself, and do not wast my time with asinine comments like that."
You're lucky anyone took the time to respond to you at all. However, given you work with Gracie Jiu Jitsu, you attitude is more or less expected.
Thats a long ass message for such a busy guy Mr. BJJ. Learn something before asking for help in such a demanding fashion in this forum. And dont be so silly as to act like you are the only one with a smart phone who can fight.
What you want isnt possible on WP7. Why not sell it on eBay and buy an HD2? lol
Ok, let's try to answer in order.
Yes, this would not be the first time in my life the word "abrasive" has been used to describe me, but I find most people who do a ton of things all at once all the time are like that. too many people out there want to waste your time so you loose a lot of normal people patience. my apologies.
The reason for my words is because I've been a member here for some years now and know better than to post without reading and searching first. I have read all threads for the HD7, so I already knew what people would say. That's why I preemptively mentioned the HD2. I have already read everything.
That does not mean I am a developer or know anything, it just means I took the time not to be annoying by posting things that have already been posted. As such, I already knew the kinds of responses I would get such as "Get an HD2" and "just get a phone with WM6.5" and "why get a HD7?"
That's why I stated that I don't want to hear about the HD2 (because I already know) and stated that I already have an HD7 (to avoid people say "don't get an HD7.") etc. etc.
There is nothing terrible about the HD2, I think it sounds great, but that is not what I have, nor what my question was about, and wanted to avoid hearing about what I already knew and had read.
Anyway....the reason I get the HD7 and did not stick with my Touch Pro 2 is because I have gone through (3) TP2s all because I have pretty much mangled the keyboards over time.....that gets expensive...I looked into the problem and other people who are having the same problem all said to get a touch screen phone and those problems would go away, because it did for all of them. so of course I looked at the HD2 and the HD7 to compare and guess which one still had (4) hard buttons to potentially mangle and which one did not.....HD7. See, all my answers are logical as I am a logical person. No nonsense.
unfortunately.......you guys have all answered my questions just as I feared. so now, yes, I will be cregslisting my HD7 and yes, I will be getting an HD2.
And to the person who said "Thats a long ass message for such a busy guy" Just remember.....anything worth doing, is worth doing right. Why bother posting a half as question when most likely it will only yield half ass answers. My thoroughness has caused you guys to better understand me and there for better answer my question. If anything......you should take note
I have my HD2 right here next to my HD7 and I must say.....the HD2 wins on so many levels. cregslist this HD7 goes!
BECAUSE IT'S A USELESS OS AND PHONE! (who doesn't love a little flaming )
Good stuff and good luck with the hd2 mate.
If only those other few HD7 owners who litter the forums with "I don't like the OS" posts would take note of your logic and understanding. I suppose that day will come when a Pig travels by my upstairs window...
Don`t get what all the fuss is about. My calendar is pretty busy (at least 3 or 4 entries a day, sometimes many more)
Next appt appears on lock screen. Unlock the phone and there is is again on my calendar livetile.
Both me and the wife use google calendar so thats on another live tile so a single press takes me into my wifes calendar.
Loads better (IMO) to WM6.5 which I came from.
Once the Calendar API gets opened up, expect to see all sorts of applications to augment these functions.
Does Blinkfeed accept RSS feeds? Does it work with any aggregator services?
Or do they simply offer you a fixed list of providers, from which you have to pick the ones you want?
I'm asking because I'm a news junkie, but not really a social networker. I don't want to see pictures from Facebook, but I would like to see articles from the blogs and publishers I read the most.
Someone will send me an HTC One for a good price, but I don't have access to it beforehand. I'm really curious about how this works. I believe it was a fixed list when the phone came out, but I always heard it would expand. Can anybody weigh in on this? Is it any better since when the phone first came out?
Hello, I recently switched from ios to android, google disadvantage now see that (in my opinion) do not fulfill specific functions, we changed the English but still not correctly answer general types: how's the weather today nearby restaurants etc.. What is your opinion about google now?
I always think that google now is in development, cuz first of all is the voice engine its pretty "mechanical".That's all
You will be told soon comparison threads are not allowed.. Prepare for thread closure..
Let's put it this way:
Siri:
"What's the weather like today?" "Are you sure you want to delete all contacts?" "No! No! No! I didn't ask you to do that!" "Delete Confirmed."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Google Now:
Open the app
Look at the weather card. (Usually the first thing you see when you go in the app)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Google now has handy "cards" for you to view wherever you are. Like what restraunts are nearby, Photo locations, Traffic information, ETA to Home/Work etc.
You don't need to ask it anything most of the time, although you can ask simple questions such as "How old is (Insert famous person here)" or "How tall is (Insert Famous Person here)" or "When was (Insert building/landmark here) built?" and it'll often tell you the answer
What I've heard from people is if you live in the US and speak US english, like me, it's by far better than anything else out there. If you don't live here / don't speak US english, it's not that great. I've never tried any other language or country so I can't tell, but for me, Google now is miles ahead of siri. Cortana is actually pretty good though.
Thanks for the opinions guys, one more question, I have to search the motor google.us or have active locations to benefit from all functions of the application? thanks

Google search is normally set to your local one (I.e if you are in the US, you'll be automatically searching with the US one)
You need to have active location (GPS) to get the best benefit from all the function.
It needs to know where you are so it can show those cards with information relevant to your current location but hey, at least you don't have to keep on asking it questions!

Siri feels like an assistant.I cant say the same for google now.Its my personal opinion

To be honest I don't see much of a difference in what they do, besides their names and companies. After all, Google is my favorite search engine and database, and I definitely prefer Google Maps over Apple's, so Google Now does a pretty awesome job for me. Siri/Google Now would not really affect my purchasing decision in any case.
I really like the functions of Google Now. It's more helpful and able to provide information when I need it. However, to enable the full functionality of Google Now means Google Service Framework is running all the time and producing a huge amount of wakelocks... Which means a lot of battery drainage.
So I would say neither one of these meets my expectation...Hope GSF could get better
I think Google Now "understands" your requests better, but maybe it is microphone related... I dont know anybody using any of these services because it affords more time getting what you want.
i prefer google now. looks a lot cleaner and more accurate imo.
Although I have never used an iPhone except for demo kiosks, I hear nothing but terrible things. Can't remember who did it but there was a Youtube video comparing the two when they came out. Siri for some reason kept wanting to talk about horses. :laugh:

yah i like google now
I don't like any of the Google Apps included Google Now because it's waisting all your RAM memory!
And it stays running in the background.
I have only used S-Voice when i was on stock but i'm now on custom rom and now i'm don't using a siri anymore.
Siri Apps are defenitly better then any other !
I have had the iphone 4s firmware updates and enjoy siri, was an addition more than useless over to the friends. I have now and s-voice s4 is something less mechanical than siri in the sense of the daily use
rivalstorm v.1 with Tamirda's mod
I know this is very unscientific, but whenever I meet someone who uses an iphone, I ask if they use siri. Most don't. Not everyone uses google voice search either, but it seems like more do. Take from that what you will. As for me, I love google's voice search. It has rarely failed me.
I have to admit, Siri is fun. And many people just use it for entertainment purposes.
Google Now is mainly used for help and knowledge. And I use it everyday. Its a great way of doing tasks while you're a bit busy.
Defenitly Siri

Hi guys,
I am just about to buy a second hand GWR, and would like to know what you think.
I don't really know how to make use of such a thing in my day-to-day business...
I guess what I want to know is - is it just a nice to have (expensive) toy, or do you guys make use of the features to actually benefit from having this add-on.
Thanks for your inputs.
D.
W/o trying to be mean, you do realise that such a question (and the respective answer) are highly personal.
If you NEED one or not, only you can know. For me, is very useful and I cannot go back to a "dumb" watch. For others, these are just nice (and expensive) toys ...
It's up to you and only you if you should buy it or not.
Agree.
Just wanted to know if and what you find useful, because I really have zero experience with the platform.
Can you name a thing or two you do differently now that you have the watch, please.
I'm not the representative person to answer this. I've been a tech addict all my life and I went through all the Sony smartwatches on the market until now, starting with the Sony liveview, few years back ... so, do I find them useful? You can bet . The main thing for me are the remote notifications ... to know if I need to reach for my phone or not. SO .. email/messages preview is the main reason I need such a device .. the others are just trailing behind: personalised face, weather at my wrist, remote control for my media players ... you name it.
buy it if you want a nice Watch with some cool Features
I have never used a wristwatch, I bought sony smartwatch 2 and was sold. I use it mostly in my work, have a lot of incoming calls and emails and it's so great to see those notifications in my watch instead of taking up my phone every time it sounds. A lot of mails are not urgent to reply and some are. With my watch I can see this things without to grab my phone. I use my Lgr every day and it's really useful.

Thanks all!
I have bought the watch and am now using it for the first time.
