I noticed something strange while in a call...
If I am calling a number with an automated answering machine with multiple choices (press 1 for help, 2 for complaints, 3 for whatever etc.), when I fire up the dialpad and make my choice, the chosen number is not displayed.
Is this normal? With other dialers in the past I could see the sequence of choices I was making.
thanks
That is not normal, it works fine for me

Hi! I am looking for a call filter program that can filter all unwanted or no number incoming calls, I tried photo contacts pro but its slow & sometimes the caller can't hear anything for 1 to 2 seconds repeatly during the conversation. I also tried MagiCall, this program is simple & nice but it can't hang up the no number calls, instead it will pass these calls to my voice mail box directly. It has a option "pick up/hang up", this works what I want but will waste the air time. So anyone can suggest a call filter program to me that can directly hang up the no number calls? Thanks!
Call Firewall
thanks for your reply, I've seen the features of this program but it doesn't mention it can block no number call or not? Do you know it has this feature or not? Thanks!
uh, sorry, can't help you there. I only HAD this program in some of the ROMs I used, never actually USED it.
And auto-rejecting no-number calls would have killed it in my book anyway, because the phone central in my office randomly removes id from outgoing ones, and so I would never receive business calls, lol.
Ask around, or better yet, try searching the forum for impressions/reviews. I know Laurentius26 uses this app in some (if not all) of his ROMs.
[EDIT]
That's what I found in the description:
Features & Options:
a. Accecpt all calls - pretty self explainatory
b. Accept call from My Contacts only - accepts calls from contacts only, others are rejected
c. Reject all calls - pretty self explainatory
d. White List - accepts calls only from the white listed nos
e. Black List - accepts all call except from the black listed nos
f. Black List Pattern - any no STARTING from the black list pattern list is rejected.
for eg. if you enter "123", so all nos STARTING from "123" will be rejected
this is a very nice option with which you can block nos from any particular network, country, city , area or whatever you can think of.
Besides, there is a check window for "Reject unknown/private calls"... I'd call it a YES, then
CallBlock
I use callBlock from WISH solutions to block a list of callers. It works well and it does not have to answer and hang up.They mention that it can block no number calls but I have not tried it for that. Here is the link:

Good luck!
Just tried the Call Firewall, it can block no number calls, but transfer the call to voice mail box directly. Anyway thanks for your suggestion
actually, this CallBlock looks like it offers a few ways of blocking the call... See picture at this address
Block method: dropdown list... Wonder what's in there? researchermd, can you check and let us know?
call firewall works just fine. I use it to block unknown or private numbers.
In addition, you can use your network settings for call barring and block numbers that aren't in your phonebook if you want the extra security of blocking numbers.
The screen you provided should be "CallBlock Ringtone Edition" which is make for palm. For the PPC version, there has no such option can be found
Hi,
I have several contacts that have numbers containing P (the pause), mainly for dialing through voip services providing cheap international calls such as dialnow.com or nonoh.net who provide a landline number that you can call from your mobile
The problem is that the phone does not match the full number with the contact, it only matches the first part up to the P. What I mean is, I have multiple numbers starting with the same landline, then P, then their number, like so:
0123453335P078127493041# - Foo Bar
0123453335P078924134212# - Joe Doe
0123453335P...
You get the picture. What happens is that the phone always identifies any of those numbers, regardless of which I call, only as "Foo Bar" (or which ever is first in the contacts list). It's quite annoying as it gets registered as Foo Bar everywhere: e.g. in the call history, while the call is in progress etc and only the first part of the number is displayed. Another problem is that if I use this kind of contact as a favorite in the People page in TouchFLO 3D, and I try to call it straight from the People page, then only the landline number is dialed, the part with P and the rest of the number is not sent at all ...
I would like it to be able to do a full match on the number, not just the first part up to P, so that it appears correctly in the call history, during call and to be able to call such a number from the People page in TouchFLO 3D.
Any fix for this?
Cheers
bump?
anyone has any idea of what I could try at least?
would a different dialer work? anything?
so many replies ...
I have found a workaround myself ... if you replace the P with a , (comma) then you will get a full match; maybe someone else wants that behaviour.
I have the same problem but no luck with comma...
What have you done? one number with p and the other with comma? that should work but if we have more than 2 ...
By the number of answers you got... i'm sure it will be complicated to solve this one
I solved this problem by sticking a space before the p
P works for me. I use it with a prefix number for 0800 numbers so that the call is part of my free mins.
Just spotted that you use a capital P. I use a small p. Might make a difference.
Thanks everyone.. it looks like that this depends on the dialler program used.
For me that solutions were not working but then I've updated my ROM (with new dialer) and it started to work.
Thanks a lot.
I have two questions and if any one can help will be appreciated:
1. I previously managed to have a dialler where it allows you to multi select contacts before initiating a conference call in the same keybad area, any idea how can i get this feature back, at least the name please
2. The feature where the phone will initiate a sound reciting the caller's name or the number calling you (while the phone is ringing), does any one knows what this feature is called?
Kinds regard
msvc which voice commands lets you access certain commands over your phone. You should be able to find a few different versions in Hacking and development forum.
Before the flame I did search this:
The following errors occurred with your search:
1. Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
Lets say you click on your phone tile, and it brings up your past calls,
If you called a person, then they called you back and then you called them and then you called them back, it shows the 4 separate events for that one person listed out.. which makes a long list and a call you made that you need to remake earlier in the day not even show up.
How can we get it to combine similar numbers into one showing that you can click on and see the full list of calls made with that number instead of it already being listed out.
Hope this make sense.
Which brings me to my next question, why does it show so little calls? HD2 you can go back almost 4 days worth of calls, and it minimized the history library to last transaction stored and then u get more details.
I know I know this is a basic OS with nothing on it, to make it so minimal that you can make 1 call a day and then use it as a Ipod the rest of the time,
But besides that has any one found a way?
Agreed with you on combining the call. They should also add categories for missed calls, calls from contact list, incoming/outgoing calls etc, Most of the times I just want to know what calls I have missed.
Good question, however in its current iteration that ffeature doesnt exist.
Sorry for my bad English.
I purchased a week the sony z3 compact and noticed / discovered these two flaws that on cheaper phones have provided.
1) blocking calls from any contacts or anonymous numbers or numbers not in our section. Now on the phone you can only enable or disable all calls. Which, frankly, use a few.
2) In the call log, it would be very useful, instead of having the key on the right with the arrow symbol, with which, if crushed shows various options, replace it with the contact's photo (which is in the list of contacts), maybe even moving it to the left. And then, again, crushing him alight see the different options that already happens if I press the current arrow.
And then, still in the call log, it would be interesting to divide the calls with the days: example:
Saturday, December 20
call 1
call 2
call 3
etc
etc
Friday December 19
call 1
call 2
etc
etc
or, instead of this solution, group for phone number the various records, without having a long list with numbers / contacts repeated
I hope I explained in the best way possible and above all that we can have such solutions in a possible next update, I'd be very happy.
