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.
After a struggle, I have successfully paired my NS with a Parrot CK3000 Bluetooth car kit. This is great because I can now activate the voice dialer from my steering wheel... however, the voice recognition on the NS voice dialer is less than useless!!!! It does not recognise names very well and you end up calling random people. Trying to "Call Sam", always ends up calling Simon. I have tried changing the voice settings to English UK (preferred), English Generic and US but no joy.
My old WM device had excellent voice dialing, worked spot on every time. At least it asked you first if the selected contact was correct! The google voice dial app just dials straight away!
Is there a better voice dialer app? Preferably one that doesn't involve active data?
Moved to Q&A
Sorry Thought this was an app question
I never use the voice dialer app, but I use the Google Voice Actions to say "call Sam" without problems. I don't know if they use the same voice engine, but you might want to try. I think it's actually called the Voice Search app. Must be US English for proper function.
Actually, might not be a good solution for you, since you have to hit accept key on the phone, so not true hands free.
I have found the following to get Bluetooth voice dialing woking:
Install Cyberon Voice Commander from the market. (Yes it is a paid app $5.99)
They do have a 48 hour refund policy.
The only function lacking is dialing a number digit by digit "Call 321-555-3232"
will not work, only contacts, but also can open apps, and a few other features.
Follow the instructions closely on installing and un-pairing/re-pairing your headset.
Press the voice dial button on your headset. If it does not work, and I had to do this, install Vlingo from the market(free).
Press the voice dial button on your headset, you should now get a menu on your screen as to which app to use for voice dialing, select Cyberon Voice Commander.
It should work from that point on.
EDIT: I am using a jawbone Era. You may need to login to Jawbone's Mytalk and reset the button for the voice dialing function. I have been running it now for 3 days without any problems.
For those with Jawbone ERAs don't bother . . just tried this and will now have to work with the developer to get my refund since I wen't past the 15-minute mark just trying out the various dial-apps on the Jawbone to test compatibility.
No matter what dial-apps on the Jawbone ERA itself you're using or what apps you have installed on the One X end the phone completely ignores headset button presses other than picking up incoming calls or hanging up a call. For the ERA anyway I suspect that Jawbone's own dial-apps feature is what keeps the headset from being fully compatible with this phone/ICS.
i also have the jawbone era and found the same problem. the cyberon voice commander developer was very prompt in refunding. i may try later with another headset, but am not really hopeful that voice dialing using a bluetooth headset will work seamlessly. of course my opinion is that one should be able to use it without having to touch the phone at all.
If you guys want, I have this voicetogo app from my now sold galaxy note. It works but I haven't tried with Bluetooth yet.

The link is from ny drop box account, the app is great , opens apps, digit dial, contact dial, all work.

I just checked and it even works for creating events and checking schedule!

Cool app.
Update: Uninstalled other voice assistant apps like Cyberon and rebooted the One X. The voice command apk posted above now works for me. Not sure but when I initially installed it yesterday I didn't reboot the phone, probably should have. I don't think the application is fully compatible with the phone, it crashes sometimes but overall it does work and I'm satisfied for now until something better comes along.

VoiceToGo fixed everything. Thx
MyTouch 4G Slide on Tmobile monthly plan running 2.3.4. No modifications. I am using a SIp program called VOX to make data calls on my data plan. When driving I wish to be able to make an outgoing call through Bluetooth with the Genius Button or a Handsfree App without touching my phone. With the Genius Button I can almost do this, but then a box pops-up giving me three choices: SIP, SIP [highlighted & registered], and Mobile. I have to manually choose the highlighted choice which is VOX. I wish to eliminate the box so that I do not have to touch my phone while driving. I believe my phone settings are correct. I have spent hours searching and talking to HTC, TMobile, and VOX. I do not wish to use Google Voice apps.

Most likely you have to root the phone.
I have same problem with navigation: no matter how many times I set other map software as default, it always pops up with choices of Google Navigation, effing TeleNav junk (always highlighted as default) and other navigation progs when installed. regardless of me checking the box "set this as default", all of it will pop up again next time as if I have never checked the "set as default" box I guess its the same behaviour with your SIP progs.
From what I gathered, only rooting and removing the programs you don't want to use can fix this.
