Notification for Call Waiting (Other Person)

On pretty much every phone I've ever previously owned, if I call someone who's in the middle of another call, I get a little beep and a notification displayed on screen saying "Call Waiting" or equivalent. On my HTC Desire, my first Android phone, there is no notification. Is there any way to make it tell me?

Is your Call Waiting (in Call settings) notification ON?

If by that, you mean:
Settings>Call>Additional Settings>Call waiting
then, yes. But that setting is for me recieving another call while I'm already on the phone. What I asked for is a way to be notified if the person I'm calling has me on call waiting.

I'm sorry, it seems I didn't pay enough attention to your original post.
I apologize but I don't know the answer.

Yea I found this pretty annoying also. Would be cool to find an APP on the market that notifies you with a beep or a vibration that another call is coming in

I don't know about you, but I get a beeping notification if someone's calling me while I'm on the phone. Might be done by my provider though. I switched to this provider at the same time as I switched to this phone.

Well I got used to Bluetooth dialing (put BT to ear, push button, say "NAME" and it dials", but unfortunately the Desire and Android 2.1 do not offer it right now
My provider might have something to do with my "no notification" when another call is coming in. Hopefully Froyo 2.2 can be released soon because I think it does offer BT support

there is
I have noticed this bug with the original ROM too. After rooting and installing Pays ROM the beep was ok, loud and clear.
Also on my current ROM (DeFroST 0.6) call waiting work.

dboy0911, you made the same mistake ferus initially made. I'm not asking for the notification if someone's calling me. I want the notification if I'm calling someone who's already on another line.

i miss that in android, like my nokia,its defenatly not operator option since the same sim was on my nokia and it did notify me

Yeah, Rabia seems to be the first person getting exactly where I come from with this..

whats the use my friend, still no fix to my knowledge

Galaxy Tab does it so its possible, I actually found out that all Samsung phones even windows ones will actually display call waiting msg if ur calling someone who's is on a call currently, I actually might go for galaxy my self unless someone try a Samsung Android on HTC

It is very important to display call waiting msg. Why HTC does not support this basic feature.

I just checked and there's an option for "Vibrate on call waiting" in CM7. Don't know if thats AOSP or CM specific though.

It's not in the AOSP.. Or at least not as of FroYo, which is what the HTC Desire officially has as the latest. I know this because my colleague has a Nexus One and it doesn't have that option either.

I see. A good excuse to start rooting and loading CM then :]

Sorry, but that's not reason enough for me to change my ROM. I'm very happy with Sense UI. Though I would like to try CM tbh.. Still not gonna try it though.

Android 2.2 Bluetooth Voice Dialing on Desire?

Bluetooth Voice Dialing is in the Froyo feature set.
I can't see this feature anywhere on the Desire after the 2.2 update. Anyone else?

I can't find it either...

really really annoyed about this!! when i bought the phone it was something I really needed! Was told it would be on the phone with 2.2 in a couple of months but now nothing!!! Grrrr!!!

I read somewhere that you can use the voice search do dial someone, and it actually works, but there are two problems:
1) Since the main objective of voice search is to search using google, you need to be on wireless or 3G to start using voice search, even if you don't want to use google at all. So if you don't leave your 3G active all the time, you'll have to activate it before launching voice search.
2) You can't launch voice search by pressing the action button on the bluetooth headset, so you still have to pull the phone out of the pocket to activate it and then give the command.
Those two problems pretty much makes voice search unusable as a replacement to a dedicated voice dialing dialog, because you always have to take the phone out of pocket and interact a lot with it to finally call someone. It's easier to just tap your contact's shortcut to call it.

It was in the leaked ROM that was floating around a couple of weeks ago too! My guess this will be coming in another update around the time that HTC release their car dock. Bloody gits.

in the prerelease 2.2 (LeeDroid) I am using if I press the talk button on the steering wheel it requests a voice command and then searches for whoever you said "call". But it its true that 3G MUST be activated.

Can anyone recommend a 2.2 ROM with HTC sense that has this feature? Is it a good idea for me to reflash do you think?

This was the one thing i was waiting for with the froyo release and it appears to be missing.
Im not seriously considering rooting my phone just to get this feature.
Can anybody recommend me a rom with this feature enabled?

I'm in the same boat, wasn't really bothered about rooting but now it looks like I'm going to have to!
I've emailed HTC on their support page, does anyone think I'm going to get a response?

HTC replied to me saying "we can decide what parts of the system are used and which are not".

Removing this from the release is ridiculous. It's so common now for use of hands-free kits to be compulsory, if not the only legal option.
It was my main reason to debrand and upgrade, only to find that it's been omitted.
Maybe some kind soul can manage to knock up an APK from a release where it was included (fingers crossed)

Well here's the response from HTC!
Not good really!
Hi Dave, Voice to text is only available in North America due to the limitations of the voice recognition software database that our phone uses. We are researching the possibility of expanding the coverage of the Voice-To-Text feature but we are still analyzing
the feasibility and currently have no schedule to relay this to you now. We have your contact information on our system and will contact you when we have a solution. Kind regards, Tom HTC

Don't tell me that HTC is not going to include this feature in Froyo! I bought my desire AFTER the announcement of Bluetooth voice dialing, and I thought I could wait for this to come in 2.2 update, and now they say they won't include it???? Are they crazy enough to omit one of the main features in Froyo??? What on earth are they thinking?!?!

Correct - they are NOT going to include it in Froyo 2.2
I have the official HTC version of Froyo that doesn't have it, and am rather upset as i would have rooted my phone to get this feature, but I was under the impression I didn't have to.
Now that I've updated to HTC's version not only do I still not have Bluetooth voice dialing, but I also don't have the option to root my phone anymore to get it.
Nice to see that they spent time on real things like a new android graphic, the way the lock displays and other useless but blingy stuff instead of items that were lacking that almost every other phone on the market has for granted.

If voice to text doesn't work, how does Google Voice search operate?
This is complete arse.

I thought that in the announcement Google said they were expanding it to work with different accents and languages?

I tried it a few days ago and thought it was terrible.

I've tried it and seems to work well, I've emailed the dev as well about the last comment but he said it uses the in built speech to text library so it will be as good / bad as any other android dialer
Hope that helps!

well you have to give a little more information then that for a definite answer. But the answer is yes AND no right now
If you are running the latest build of android for our phone with the sound working searching via speaking WILL work if you activate the mic first. This is done by making a phone call and then immediately after using the search feature and speaking. Once you do this once the mic shuts off again though. I have no doubt that till will be working in the next little while fully though now that we have sound finally.
See here --------> [Bug] Voice Search Fails Unless Mic is Already Active

yes i have latest build thanks
i have one more question i have advance task killer and when i close all apps and go again look at if all apps are closed some of them still there...

DHD Going to Voicemail

I've had my DHD for a few days now.
Originally it was locked to 3 and sold to me as brand new and still sealed in its box. All I've done is put my old sim (from my iphone) in and unlock it to my carrier (O2) and installed a few apps, etc,
However I've noticed that the majority of my calls are goiung direct to VM and that I'm not getting alerted to new VM's.
I've seen a few threads around (here and other forums) that talk about this being "the norm" when gprs is in use - either fore of background use.
So my question is ... how do I identify what is using gprs or is there some way of turnign it on/off whenever I want to use it? Not being able to receive calls just because I checked my emails or similar is ludicrous. Never had this issue with my iphone ...
Any help for this HTC / Android newbie would be great.

Aww borrox - thought I had so sorry about that

[Q] I have an O2 phone and need help with delivery reports.

Hello I have a GiffGaff sim (o2) and I do not get delivery reports, it works when I add *0# to the start of every message but I hate doing that such a pain. I was wondering is there a way It can automatically be inserted or how do I go about enabaling reports? The phone settings have it enabled just need the other end doing.
Was told to use Delivery Reporter + or something, yeh I hate it :L so is there another way?
Thanks.

Hey pal. Same issue here. Even when I have it enabled on the giffgaff website I only get them every now and again. I'm yet to find a solution
