Whenever there are incoming calls, the phone loses a lot of it's functionality. Firstly, I cannot use the "reject with message" option, as it simply does not detect my touches anywhere on the list of available quick responses. It however allows me to close the list and open it. But not to select items in it. Same thing happens with anything I try to do when I have an incoming call. I can go to the inbox but cannot open any conversations. I can open settings, but not enter any sub-menus. I can open up any chat applications but the keyboard does not come up. And all this happens only if it's an incoming call. Everything works as expected when I call someone. Effectively I cannot multitask while on an incoming call.:crying:

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.....
-Later
I've looked around the forum and couldn't find a solution anywhere but Whenever I receive a text or e-mail, my ringtone keeps playing and playing... no matter what button I hit or what I do on the screen (I can completely read and respond to a text and the ringtone will still be going!), it doesn't seem to quit! .... I want a ringtone on so I know when I get a text or email, but I don't want it to be never ending! Any ideas on how to make it stop ringing when I want it to ? Angry
It is a known limitation of Windows Mobile, the ringtones for Messages play till the end.
You probably should select a shorter tone for messages.
Hi!
I'm kinda new here so bare with me...
i've searched without any luck to finding the answer to my question...
When someone calls me, the diamond gives me the choice to reject the call and texting the caller with a predefined message...the problem is that i have to actually send the damn message after haning up...wich kinda takes the whole idea away of having the phone doing it...
Now, is there anyway i can make the damn sms get sent without me having to actually click the send button?? just reject the call and let the phone do the job?
Come on, somebody has got to have had the same issue?
Go to Settings.. Phone... Advanced (right at the right hand end) then de-select "Reject call with text message"
i think you misunderstood me, i don´t want to turn off the feature, just make it do the whole procedure and not stop right before the message gets sent.
Uncheck the option to edit the text message, on the advance tab.
Well nobody is understanding what he is saying.
This is a good idea, infact i also wanted to do the same thing.
What we want is that as soon as we reject the call with send text button phone should directly send the message to the caller (with predefined text) without opening the predefined compose messsage and then we click send again to let the sms shoot to the caller.
I think this feature wont be possible with soft reject or hard reject key coz then it will send sms to each and every caller or even to landline caller. There should be other soft key just like "Send Text" soft key where we press it and automatically phone sends the sms to the caller.
Hope i am able to explain.

Vishal
Reject++
If you are looking for an app to let you reject incoming calls with predefined or custom SMS and setup a reminder to return a call as well..
so check Reject++
You can:
- Reject a call with SMS, Reminder, Or Both.
- Convenient Slider on top of incoming call screen, slider it up and go with Reject++
- Smart SMS Templates with "Tags"
- Smart Reminders Scheduling Engine.
- Works with mobile screen locked or OFF
- Notifications works no matter if the app is active or not.
Check much more Features & Screenshots for Reject++
I find it annoying that the call log shows multiple entries for calls to/from the same contact.
My old Sony phone had an option to "only show most recent call" for each contact.
Is there any way to do this on Android?
Basically, if I have 150 calls to/from my wife, I'd like the call log to only show the most recent one.
On my old Galaxy S10 I was able to mute an SMS conversation. (My siblings will sometimes get into a chat convo, lasting hours. And since we're in different time zones, their conversations might occur while I'm sleeping.)
Now that I've got a Galaxy S23+, I'd like to do the same thing. Only, it doesn't appear that I can. Tapping on the 3 vertical bars to the right of the conversation title, I see things like Delete Messages, Search Messages, Notification sound, Category, Customize chat room, Share attachments, and Group Conversation. But I do not see a Mute conversation.
(BTW, what is "Group conversation"? And why is it the only one with a sliding button?)
What app are you using, Google Messages? If so, it can be done:
Open conversation
3-dot menu in upper right - choose Details
choose Notifications
select Silent

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thank you for your response. That is working well.
However, is there a way of also stopping the vibration too? I'm getting that even though I've silenced the messaging group. (Yes, I'm using Google Messsages.)
