Bar Certain Incoming Calls ?

Hiya Guys
I have just got my new O2 XDA IIs and am really loving it.
I have been using the 'Search' feature a lot and learning lots about the device.
While doing this, I had a ex-stalker phone me, grrr.. I wish she didnt have my number..
I guess I will have to change my sim, but I was wondering... is there an App or a way of baring certain individual incoming numbers ? so I can just bar hers ?
I guess its a long shot but thought I would ask
Cheers.
Matt.

Reject phone
Hello matt,
did yoou mean program that can auto reject unwanted phone call?
NOVOSEC smart filter maybe did it....
After installed SmartFilter will detect all of our contact, and you can give someone "tick" for the person who you want can't call you, but we still can se his/her effort to call us, it's come as missed call.
Not just that, it even have a profile, and beside a name from your contac it can reject unknown caller or without number caller.....
I used it, and it help me a lot....

Cool
Hiya cornelius

Calls to this number are bard

Hello forum
I’m having issues retrieving voice mail by pressing the relevant button 1.
Each time press 1 for voice mail I get a warning tone saying “Calls to this number are bard” the only way to retrieve voicemail is to dial 222 via the service provider’s options.
I’ve been in contact with my network provider and have had the voice mail set up but I still can’t access voice mail. Can some one help please?

Hi, I really dont know much about your network, but in order for dialing "1" to access my voicemail to work, I had to enter my voicemail number under 1 in speed dial.
Im not sure if you have already done that, or if youre running an oem rom, you may not have to, is it dialing the correct number, when you press "1"?
Also under "settings" / "phone" / "services" tab, you can select to retrieve voicemail, and txt settings....not sure of that may help either.
Sorry if you have already covered this, I just know its easy to overlook things at times, and thought I might suggest it, hope you get your problem sorted.

call to this number are bard.
Thanks for the advice; I’ve actually tried that method the first time I was in contact with service provider T-mobile and it didn’t work. T -mobile push the problem to HTC as the manufacture of the unit. I was in contact with HTC, but the very nice and helpful tech support lady concluded its t-mobile problem. Currently stuck in between.

I'm experiencing the same thing. You can run the programe called "Interactive". Select voice service then call voicemail. A message will ask you if you want to call voicemail, tap yes and it calls. It's an around the house way of doing it, but i know of no other solution right now.
BTW i have a vario III on t-mobile.

Ok i think i've worked it out I was having the same problem.
As from the previous post....when in phone select/ "Menu"/ "Options" in "settings" you'll see a "services" tab,select that then you can select to retrieve voicemail, and txt settings.
Check the voicemail number...I notice that the phone or t-mobile added 050 to the number. If you have something similar you need to remove it. You voicemail number should be you number with +44 at the start, with the first "0" removed and the rest of your number. Eg if your number was:
07951123456
its should read +447951123456
I did this and it works fine.If it works for you maybe you could pass the information onto on to T-mobile.
Hope that helps.

Where did you get the device?? What ROM is it running? pretty sure the 050 might have been added by the ROM or national on the OS. The network should report the full international number (ie the +44xxxxxxxxxxx number).

he is right

I bought it off Ebay. It's running wm6.1, i'm sure it said in the description that it was a HTC Rom, could be wrong ( HTC website is the default site in IE )...but the inital problem is easily sortable.
ps. +44 is the code for the uk, other countries would have different codes, so remember to take that into consideration.

A thanks guy the directions has resolved the issue and I can now dial number one on hemers to retrieve voice mail. As you quite rightly said three digits added in the set of numbers for the voice mail (060) This is what I did START =>SETTINGS=>PHONE=>SERVICES=> high light VOICE MAIL AND TEXT MESSAGE=> click GET SETTINGS=> check the voice mail numbers for any unusual among the set of voice mail numbers.

[REQ] [BOUNTY] App for saving Caller ID non contacts name display

Hello all,
I was wondering if there is a fix for SGS i9000 for Rogers/Fido name display. I get the name correctly on my phone while the number is ringing, however, when I answer or don't pickup the call, I just get the number.
Thank you

i don't follow...
when i miss i call i get the normal SMS from 8888 telling me that i missed a call from such and such from the phone number that phoned me
and in the phone call log, i see the little red arrow that i missed a call with the name and phone number of the contact
if it was not a contact then it just shows the phone number (which is normal of all previous cell phones i've used)
so... what exactly is not working for you?

I don't have that feature that would send me an SMS with the name and number. I just have a "Name Display and Caller number" feature. On FIDO supported phones any person that calls, even if that person is not in the contact list, his/her name would display. On my phone, SGS i9000M, Name Display works only while the phone is ringing....

that is correct
this is how it works normally on any cell phone that i've had with Fido
only displays the name when it's ringing
it doesn't save the name, it never did for any of my previous cell phones
that's only for people that are not on your contact list

And I guess the question was if there is a way to have the name not only the number in the call log after the call is completed. Is there a fix for this? Thx

well there is nothing to FIX because it's not broken
the "Advanced Caller ID" the one that shows you the callers name even though it is not in your contact list, is a network feature
not a phone feature
the build in phone feature will match the caller ID from the network provided number to your contact list then show you the caller name, if it's not in your contact list you will just get the number
that is standard on all phones with caller ID
the trick that the network uses, is that they tag the name of the person calling you along the caller ID number
older phones wouldn't even display the name
newer phones will show the name, but not be able to do anything with it, it just displays it that's all
the build in software on most phones are only designed to save the caller ID number, no extra stuff tagging along.
translation you will need a Developer to come up with a new software to be able to save both the caller ID + the extra strings attached

Just to confirm my old nokia n97 did save the name in missed calls.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App

I see what you mean, on some phones when someone calls you and you do not have the persons contact saved the following happens:
1. Name is displayed along with the number while ringing.
2. When you look up the phone log the name is in there and when you save the contact it already has the name typed in for you.
On the Galaxy S number 2 does not happen. I dont know how to change it to make it work however, I am interested.

A new software will be required to do that, none of my previous phone had that feature
time to hire an android developer to make and app to do that
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App

I have the same features with Fido and i found it to be annoying that it wouldnt show the callers name(not on my contacts) in missed calls. If its important they can call again lol.
Off-Topic:
I am about to purchase the Captivate from Rogers(finally its out...) but im with Fido, what im wondering is it possible to unlock the phone with the unlock/unfreeze guide located in the dev section. I just dont want to create a new thread for one question
PS. It didnt allow me to post the link to the guide because i just joined, sorry for the trouble lol.

I would appreciate if someone can post a fix for this issue. I'll throw in some money for a fix

Me too!

if you guys really want this feature implemented you'll have to put up a bounty to hire a developer to make an app for that

contacts with more than 1 number

help please there is probably an easy answer to this but i can't see it.
in my contacts lets say Mr A has mobile number 111111 and home number 222222
now if i ring him on mobile and get no answer what i have to do is go into view contact and choose an alternative number to call him on ie 222222.
now am pretty sure when i first got my desire if i choose to call Mr A i got an option box pop up asking my which number i'd like to dial.
does this sound familiar to anyone and if so how do i enable it?
also next problem again contact related
using Mr A above once his numbers are entered into his card the oprions to send messages are filled in for me i want to remove the field where it says sent message to home number in this case a land line number
any help appreciated
thanks

I can't really remember getting any of the pop-ups you mention. You have the option to set the primary number in the person card in People. Though it could be sometimes inconvenient, I don't think there is another way.
I find pretty inconvenient when I have unanswered call and want to reply, if that person has multiple numbers, you can't call number other than that you received the call from without entering the person card. It would be convenient if you could swype to change the number, you have arrows shown in the call list anyway.

Call/Message Forwarding Shortcut on Homescreen

hey there,
would it be possible to add a toggle/shortcut to enable call and message forwarding? its a bit "complicated" to do it through the standard settings.
DN41

There is a shortcut for Directdial. Is not that enough for you? I do not know if there is any shortcut for sms forwarding though...

directdial?
mh...a "toggle" would be really nice though.

Create two new Contacts: one named Forward_On w/ phone number **21# and one named Forward_Off, phone number #21#.
you can pick other names if you like.
now, from your home-screen select
Personalize > Shortcut > direct dial > pick "Forward_On" > pick the item w/ **21# as number and repeat the same for "Forward_Off". Now you should have 2 Items on your homescreen which turn call forwarding on and off.
Finally (if you haven't done so already), set up the destination phone number by calling **21*0123456789#, replacing 0123456789 w/ the phone number you want to redirect all your calls to.

wow thats great
thanks a lot
is that possbile with message forwarding as well?
DN41

No, you cannot do message forwarding this way. (Call forwarding is a gsm-feature which is configured using the codes I mentioned. That means, once you activated this feature, your service provider will do all the forwarding for you, your phone doesn't do anything to forward a call. Message forwarding on the other hand is a sense-feature. Thus it cannot be set up with a gsm-code and you will have to use another method.)
you might want to try an app like Any Cut or BetterCut but I don't think your chances are too great...

ok, but thanks a lot for those informations.
i'm gonna ask the dev of widgetsoid, if he could do such a toggle.
