Does anyone know of a prog to divert calls?
I do understand that you can set up one divert profile with the operator, but being awkward I would like to set up more than one.
Don't know if there is a utility out there to do this.
Any help greatly appreciated.

You mean as in to forward your calls? Go to Start>>Settings>>Phone>>Services Tab>>Click "Call Forwarding" then "Get Settings" Button and adjust from there.
EDIT: You want to be able to change this easily using "profiles"? A option would be to use a marcro recorder or a script editor and give each macro/script/profile its own icon, so that when you click it it does the above. I used the program MacroRecorder when I had a smarphone, it may work on our OS too, I'm not sure. You could also download MortScripts if you'd prefert to write a script.
Hi thank you for your input.
You have got the idea exactly, got a new car with a "stupid" car kit built in.
The car kit takes a sim card... never heard of bluetooth!!!!!
O2 say they don't (and never have) offered a "dual sim" option. I was hoping to switch the phone off when I got in the car.
So the next idea is to put a pay as you go sim in the car kit and diver all calls from the main number to the car kit.
I already have a divert set up when I cannot take a call, and being lazy I suppose would love a little utility that swaps the divert between the two numbers.
Probably not upto writing scripts or macro as i don't want to mess up my phone
But once again thank you for your help
Not a tool but....you may check out *# codes (aka "GSM codes"), compose the one you need and create a phonebook entry. To run the network service you may put this entry to a speed dial button and activate it manually when you enter the car. Means you run a call to this "number". That's how I forward all calls from my private phone to my company phone: in the morning: call **21*mynumber# and to switch forwarding off in the evening: call #21#. Works pretty good.

Cheers,
Derek.
Thank you so much
PERFECT
You are welcome...
btw: you will most likely be charged for call forwarding between different providers. At least in Germany they do it.
The coolest thing for you would be T-Mobile-like "Multi-SIM". IMHO the best Multi-SIM implementation ever as you can leave both phones switched on and none of them is kicked out of the network. They just ring both and both present the same number to the far end.
It's a shame that O2 doesn't offer something like this...
Luckily O2 offer unlimited O2 to O2 calls so with luck the divert will be included.
The lady on customer support was quite useless (as per usual) didn't know if it was or wasn't
Can't use T-Mob no reception at home
Going to try and block/bar own number on the pay as you go sim so I can make outgoing calls without confusing people too much.
I blame you Germans - thought Porsche would have a bluetooth PCM - Land Rover have for about 3 years as standard!!! lol
Thank you again for all your help, hopefully a German car will be more reliable than a Land Rover
Porsche? Great! At least it will have better brakes than a Landy
There is also a program "PhoneAlarm" which can be used to divert calls. You can feed 4 or 5 numbers to which you would like your calls to be diverted. From the Today Screen Plug-In of phonealarm you just need to press and hold and you would be presented with a list of numbers to select the one you currently want the calls to be diverted to.

thanks so much. it worked on my diamond. Indian model.
Does anyone know if you can activate voice dialing over bluetooth? I know that there were several hacks that were necessary to get it to work over my 8525.
Thanks!
Yes you can. It's called Voice Commander. It should be on by default. You can say stuff like "call john smith" or "dial 123-4567" pretty cool.
Voice Command with Bluetooth Headset??
I have an old bluetooth headset, but it doesn't seem to work with Voice Command. Does anyone have one working?
Yes, i have used vc with 3 different headsets. One moto, one jawboneII, one plantronics, and one stereo sony brt50 with a2dp. All worked well when pressing the command button on the hs. I've noticed it doesn't work quite well using phone for the command or to answer when cal comes in. The audio drops or doesn't connect.
Hmm, I have an old Moto H505 from work and not only do I not seem to be able to initiate a voice command using the headset, if I do initiate one using the phone I do not hear the response in the headset.
Thanks for letting me know that it is possible....
I had some issues with the stock VC on the ATT ROM. With ROMeOS though it doesn't come with VC (or at least not that I could find) so I added the latest PPC VC (1.6.19214) and it seems to work just fine now (including announcing calls via BT).
I thought that VC in general did not work with bluetooths. This is a limitation of VC not the phone or the bluetooth. On my old mogul, you could get it to initiate the command but not hear your response or confirmation.
Works fine for me with a Jabra BT-135 headset -- giving commands, getting feedback, and answering phone calls all work as expected. The only thing that doesn't work is announcing the name of the caller for incoming calls; all I get is a ring for that. (I have the stock AT&T ROM.)
pre-record for voice dialing?!

That's OK, but what I really want is to record names for each PHONE# foreach contact, like "call Scott CELL" or "call Scott HOME" or "call Josh OFFICE" like I used to do with my HTC MDA w/ WinMo5. Can I do this? I've been searching the phone and forums and this site's postings too... any help?
If you can load the program - it is in the WM 6.0 ROM - it will work with bluetooth devices.

There's no need to do that with voice command. As long as your contacts are stored properly (i.e., a contact's mobile number is stored as mobile, their home number is stored as home, etc) you can just say something like "Call name on mobile", or "Call name at home".
From MS on how to use it:

Thanks Syntrix, Joecd04475 for the help, appreciate it. Not real excited about saying, "Call.. Doe, John... at... Mobile" when I'm used to saying, "John cell", but looks like that's what we got w/ WM6

Well, you can get rid of the "...", at least -- Voice Command, in my experience, seems to be pretty good at deciphering connected speech. And there's no need to invert the names, either (I don't even know if it would work that way). In any event, it doesn't seem a great hardship to say, in a normal speaking cadence, "Call John Doe at work."
You might want to have a look at the German ROM version as there is Cyberon Voice Command included which exactly does what you want. You can record voice commands for each phone number, program, ... on your own. I still think MS Voice Command is more preferable as you do not have the hassle to record voice commands for every contact and so on on your own.

Call John Cell isn't any different then Call John on mobile.
MSVC also allows you to control other aspects of your phone in addition to calling contacts.
Play Metallica
Play Iron Maiden
What time is it?
What is my signal strength?
Ringer vibrate
Ringer off
Ringer high
and a ton more things you can speak also.

Well, on my MS VC the ringer stuff does not work properly with the TP. And controlling the audio player is kinda funny as you have to pronounce the artist's, album's and song's names in a German way So Iron Maiden would have to be pronounced "Eeron My den"

Yes, this is a perfect example of the corporate 'give you *more* of what you don't want' that is difficult to avoid when you're innovative over customer-driven.
Voice Command looks like a very nice feature that will do a lot for me, especially the music options you listed (though I assume that requires I 'play nice' by using playlists, import music through Media Player). It's a large feature that I may become an expert in someday, but a busy week into using my new phone, I just want to dial my most used numbers while driving, and Voice Command simply does not recognise my commands 90% of the time. I have a pretty plain-jane American accent, but VC simply doesn't know what I'm saying.

That's strange; I have been really impressed,with 100% accuracy over the dozen or so times I've used it to call people and dial numbers since I got my Fuze. What is your setup? Are you using it over a Bluetooth headset or via the built-in microphone? (Not sure if that makes a difference, as I've not had any problems either way, but it might be something to try with your phone.) If using the built-in microphone, how far away are you holding the phone when you speak? Is Automatic Gain Control off? (The help file, I think it was, recommended not using AGC.)
Sweet. I had AGC on. I'll switch it off and try out on the drive home.
I'm using a wired headset w/ inline mic, usually great sound quality on the other end (others listening to me) so I figured it should've worked fine. Come to think of it, back when I still used a HTC Wizard, I had AGC off too. Shoot, just realized, maybe the inline mic on my earbud is disabled, maybe I need to hold the phone up to my mouth?
Got so angry trying to get it to recognize me on the drive home, almost threw it out the window. "No, you stupd #%$& I said 'CALL! HOME! AT! HOME!' "
Also, I'm frustrated that my old Wizard 3.5mm headset jack (which played sounds in both ears: double mono for phone calls)---when I use it w/ my Fuze (with USB converter brick) it only plays phone calls AND MUSIC in 1 ear: very vexxing.
Is there any possibility to get MSVC working on Diamond 2? I used it on my old O2 XDA Orbit 2 with Bepes Rom. Now I'm interested in to use it on my Diamond 2, or should I wait for official Update on Windows Mobile 6.5 with "TellMe" ?
I managed it, but it does not work and caused a problems (i.e. once connected to BT, it always stays connected).
Working fine on mine through bluetooth, I'm using V1.6.19214 found in a link here on XDA. I don't bother with the call button activation, which can be problematic to get working, as I only need it for voice dialling through my BT headset.
hmm, okay... thanks for the reply...
i just wanted to use it for incoming calls, so that the callers name is outspoken and for simplyfying writing sms...
I think i will wait for "tellme" in wm6.5
THX guys

Hi,
I've voice command 1.6 in french, and it works nearly amazing fine. I'm not using bluetooth with it, and the only problem is that, sometimes, when I ask 'CALL ... AT HOME', it asks for confirmation, and it does not understand the 'YES' answer. This problem did not happen with version 1.5.
I also disables incoming caller names, because it has a conflict with the ring, and both are not audible (ring distorded, and voice not understandable).
But it tells you the meetings, mails, battery status, next appointements, etc...
Really amazing on a small device. I don't use contacts mamangers anymore for calling : just using voice command. I even work in the car, with the ambiant sound engine, and radio on (not too loud!). Worth the price for 19.95$ (as far as I remember).
regards,
Olivier.
PS: it fails on install because it has not enough hardware button. After install, go in the settings -> buttons and assing it to the only button. Pressing Green key for two seconds, and wait the the beep and microphone icon on notify bar. If you press the button too long, it makes a loud beep to tell you it is cancelled. You can also magic button, or remap the soft keys.
I used to use Cyberon Voice Commander to make a call. I have no idea how come HTC took off this software on Diamond 2...
I have sent the email to Cyberon to ask if there is any possible way to get their Voice Commander. They responded that the software now has retail version for about 10 languages, and they offer the full function 30-day trial on their website. I am using it so far. It works well on my Diamond 2.
Vito
Vito technology has 2 voice command apps. VoiceDialer to simlpy call some1 and Voice2Go to launch apps and cpntacts and so on.
How come there is just one button to assign something to? I would like to use cyberon voice commander via the headphone mic-button.. is there a way to do this, or is it a limitation in td2?

Try the latest version of Cyberon Voice Commander v2.5.2r from Cyberon website http://www.cyberon.com.tw/order_Product_con.php?NO100=15 as Lacerta mentioned .
This version provides "hold Volume-up" or "hold Volume-down" to launch CVC in Setting, as well as you can start it by pressing the button on BT earset.
Per xhaavardx, I downloaded the app from Vito Technology. Works great in the office. Totally useless driving down the road. And I do mean totally. Will not successfully dial a single voice tag I recorded in the parking lot unless I pull off the road and turn off all accessories, even the heater fan.
There was a post on this site somewhere recently stating that someone had converted the app from the old HTC Wizard into a .cab that could be installed on the diamond 2. I can't seem to search that thread out, though. Can any of you guys find it? That thing worked absolutely great!

This one was ripped from Samsung but haven't tested it.
Tried a text but no luck so far. Will keep trying.
Also, MSVC is working great.

Tried the Tellme file on my Pure. It works decently while I'm on my wireless network but continually tells me it can't find the network even when it's at full strength on the 3G network. Maybe it's because it was configured to search for Sprint's network, I don't know. I've seen other say they got it to work for them.
Voice Dial for Touch Diamond 2
Hello, All:
Concerning voice dial for the Touch Diamond 2, I found Cyberon Voice Dial on this bulletin board in a thread somewhere, but, regretfully, I can't find it back. IF you can find it, it is DA BOMB!! Yeah, you have to record the voice tags, but it works great in noisy environments and almost never makes a mistake. I don't use BT with the new phone, but Cyberon worked great with the BT on my old Wizard. Whatever you do, don't pay for Vito Voice Dial. It is truly unserviceable in any situation with even moderate noise.
Good Luck! Hope this helps.

The program won't even start for me on WiFi.
I believe the network issue is specific to AT&T from what I have read. No fix for this yet.
Pity....
Im testing some VoIP software for cell phones for my work. I'm currently using a Nokia e71x and a At&T Kaiser/tilt/TyTn II running a nice little ROM I got here (can't remember the name) built on WM 6.5. Any way, in a desperate attempt to measure call quality I would like to call my voice mail and leave a message, then analyze it for pops, clicks that kind of thing. So in order to have a standardized file that I use each time I would like to be able to play an audio file on the phone, preferably the kaiser, and have it stream through the call. That way when I download my voicemail, in .wavs, I can use a program I got to see how the 2 files vary. I would hate to have to hold a voice recorder up to the phone each time.
Or you know of some other way of measuring call quality that would be good too.
thanks in advance,
The Tentacle Master
I suppose this topic has been beaten to death, but I would appreciate the wisdom and advice from the users of this forum. I am new to android, having just upgraded to an HTC Raider with Bell Mobility in Canada. The phone came originally with Gingerbread, with an optional upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich. Eagerly, and without thinking I immediately upgraded. Please be patient, I am getting to the point
I drive a truck for a living and require hands free. Stopping for messages or calls is too time consuming. I am currently using Sonalight Text By Voice. It works on my phone (most of the time), but only covers 3 of the 4 main functions I require by voice (voice dialing, SMS reading, SMS composition). The fourth, caller ID, is not available in the app. I am using this with a Jawbone ERA in the truck, but the truck is so loud, the app can't hear my voice over the noise. I am considering purchasing a Motorola finiti headset, as it has stealth mode, which I need in my truck; and it has caller ID built in for contacts. I realize that the finiti has not been well received by many, but I'm thinking with stealth mode, my voice apps and callers will be able to hear me over the noise in the truck. I spoke to Motorola and was advised that stealth mode can be turned on when not on a call, to communicate with the phone. I hope that wasn't "motospeak". If Motorola was blowing smoke when they said stealth mode can always be on, perhaps you can let me know.
On the software side, I have downloaded everything that even smells like a voice caller ID app. So far nothing works with my phone over bluetooth. Many of the more popular apps (Enhanced SMS & Caller ID, etc) advertise the fact that their apps will not work with bluetooth in ICS. Given this situation, I feel rather foolish for upgrading to ICS without thinking about the consequences.
This has been a rather long post from an android newbie. I am hoping that you can show me the way to a solution, or tell me there isn't one and say "stop banging your head against the wall".
I'd like to thank you all in advance for any help you have to offer.

Hi I agree with you 100% and have the same problem. However there does not seem to be any help responding to this problem. I would think that some developer would have the solution to this. Thanks JC
As the developer of Enhanced SMS & Caller ID, I can add some more info. This feature appears to work on Nexus devices but not any others (in our app with specific settings mentioned in my FAQ). I have created some bug reports in the AOSP and invite everyone else to add their comments to thw report so that Google takes it seriously. This is a very important feature for those in vehicles and with accessibility issues.
