every once in a while i would get automated voices calls about second warranty on cars and others calls that is non-english which i have no clue about? Wonder if there is a way or program to block these numbers?
Since your location states as Virginia I believe you are in US. Try this out and register your phone here:
https://www.donotcall.gov/
If you still get it make sure you are not getting any kind of service with the callers, like its not your bank, your automechanic shop, because they can call you since you may've 'checked' 'yes' for something while signing any paper. If so call them and tell them not to call.
Wait 31 days.. file a complaint in the above site.
Alternative Option:
If you get a number - add to your contact and select a custom ring tone. Select a dummy 'silent' ring tone. If you dont have one create one mp3 with just a second of silence. You may not get a ring if it comes from same number.
Use the XDA Google serach "CallFirewall" very handy bit of software thats free.
Is it possible cancel a single phone number instead of all calls or all the calls for a contact?
I have italian ROM version 1.19.408.1.
Thanks in advance
are you talking about deleting a call in the call history? if so, here's how to hide your mistress' calls.
Press the send key to pull up the phone app & then the bottom left of the dialer there is a Call History button. that will bring up all the individual calls & you can select & delete & hide your affair.
enjoy

Thanks for your answer but your advice doesn't work in my phone with the european rom reported above. I need to delete a single phone to a dialer and not all the phone calls to that dialer.
FOr exampke if I call a friend 10 times and he can't answer I will found in my call history all the 10 calling and this generates confusion, so I want to be free to delete wath I want in my history call to obtain the better information I need.
If in the future, as you mention , I will need to make some "mistress calls" I will use a first generation phone (never a pocket PC phone ) and another sim card but it is not time yet .
Thanks in advance for your cooperation
Call you post a screenshot of what pops up when you press the Call History icon on the dialer? I'd like to see if it's the same as mine.
This was a feature I was also looking for.
I found this on a ROM with Manila 2.5. I apologize but I forgot which one. The ROM was a bit unstable so I am presently using another. I will PM the OP with the ROM I used.
---edit---
It was a ROM with Manila 2.5 build 23049
You can delete all calls to an individual caller (or all calls to all callers) but on Manila 2.1 it is not possible to delete a single call to that caller.

It is possible on 2.1 doing what i described. from the Phone/Dialer, press the bottom left icon for Call History & it will bring up individual calls (sort of like the old WM way) & you can press & hold a single call & it will pop up with an option to delete or you can do it through the Menu.

Wow... I can't believe it was right in front of my eyes the whole time! I was going through my call history from the 6.1 contacts.
Thanks
And for the record, it's the icon directly to the left of the Talk button when you bring up the dialer.
The icon to the left of TALK button on my TP2 toggles between voice calls and video calls. There is no Call History icon
Call History can be called up using the right softkey Menu > Call History, or click on the icon to the right of the call entry, which only gives me the option to delete all calls to that particular caller.
hmm, must be a US only thing then.

Yes, I can't find it on my European version of the TP2.
I think freakingwilly did mention a way to do it: through the 'Contacts' app in the 'All Programs' list.
t's a bit fiddly, but the way I've done it is:
1. Press the Phone/Send key to get a list of recent calls, and hit the button to the right side of that entry to get to the Contact Details page
2. Once you're there, press 'More' in the Information section
3. This will bring you out of TouchFLO into Windows Mobile 6.1 page for that contact
4. Tap on 'Last Call' (this will only be present if there is any call history to see)
5. You'll see a list of last calls for that contact which you can delete individually.
Note that this only works if that number is in your phonebook contact list - I haven't found a way to delete unknown callers short of saving them to my phonebook first.

Correct !
Indeed, it's a US thing.
The simplest thing I've found is simply to exist TF3D/Sense. I have installed the Darkness Toggler for TF3D Sense/Titanium/SpbShell. Once out of Sense, the option to hold down and delete individual calls is there.
I have US Tmo 6.5 rom. Press and hold does not bring up any menu for me and the moment I let it go, it simply dials that number for me.
@see_u_then:
What you described comes from the TF3D-Sense. Once you get quit sense, you will get the option to delete. As I said in the note above yours, I simply toggle between shells (TF3D/Spb Shell/Titanium). I get the option in all shells (or no shell) except in TF3D-Sense.
(As an aside, it's interesting that they removed this option in the TF3D-Sense2.1. The option was there in the WM6.1/TF3D Manila2.1 version that I had before the "update").
I 'm new to android and I'm trying to know how to make Conference Calls
Can anyone help

I think conference calls are network dependent. you make a call then call someone else and then i think you press menu key and merge calls. T mobile does not allow it.
Instead search for hullo group call which might work for you.
hope that helps.
I do conference in this way (I use HTC Legend):
- Make one normal call with the first person of the conference. Wait him to answer the call. Then:
- Click on Apps/Phone. Enter the name or number of the second person and click on "Call" (sorry if it appears a bit different in your phone, I am translating from my Spanish phone). Wait this person to answer the phone. The first call will be automatically on hold
- Now, in the bottom right corner of the screen, you will have an icon to "join in conference". Just click on il and the conference will start.
I think conferences are really useful. With Android need to do several clicks but works fine (the quality of the conference will depend of the network. Usually conference are enabled on networks because operators gets more money -they get more calls at the same time)
It should also work in a similar way if the people of the conference calls you, instead of you calling to them. But you should enable "waiting call" option on your phone network options to be warned when the second person call you.
Hope this helps.
I am able to make conference calls only when I dial out both the numbers.
1. I dial the first number
2. Go to menu click 'Add Call' and call the other number
3. Merge the two
Is it not possible to put someone who is calling me on conference if I am already on a call?
tkz
I looked around, and actually did not see anyone speaking of being able to do that. They all referenced you having to call both lines.
Thanks for the reply. I read somewhere else stating it aint possible coz of the way CDMA works.

I normally use my "normal" phone number to dial from, but at times, I wish to use my Google Voice number to initiate a call.
I now use the "Ask me everytime" option within Google Voice.
Ideally, I would like to see the option displayed, but if no response is made, to default to the "normal" phone number.
Inasmuch as 90% of the time, I use the normal dialing process, I could just wait and place the call.
Currently, if I don't make a selection, the call is cancelled.
Does anyone know of a modification to the "Ask me everytime" option that would address my concerns?
Many thanks in advance

I don't have a real answer to your question, but I typically use the toggle on the GV widget.
