Call forwarding from landline to XDA

I need to forward a land line rom my home to my XDA1 occasionally. It is a standard PSTN line.
On my Nokia the calling number comes up as number>, indicating a forwarded call, and on Motorolla the calling number comes up as forwarded call - number
Onthe XDA there is no indication that the number is dialing the XDA direct or dilaing the landline number and being forwarded.
Is there a fix, or a way of indicating a forwarded call?
Thanks. BB

MAN! you should ask your local landline phone company to enable "call forwarding" feature!
it is nothing about your XDA!

cgigate, i think you totally misunderstood the poster. if you ever used the call forwarding feature, you would notice on most normal mobile phone, the would be indictaors like ">", "->", "Call Divereted" displayed before the incoming number, so that you would know that a call that comes into your mobile phone was in fact a forwarded / transfered call (from another landline or mobile).
i have the same problem as well. it seems like this is a Phone Edition feature (or lack of feature), it doesn't support showing the call origin indicator. or maybe the Microsoft developers have just discarded this and therefore never bothered to programme to display them.
it's really a hassle as I now have no way to tell if a call was made to my mobile, OR a call was made to my office but transfered to my mobile.

Yes, I misunderstood it.
I'm using call forwarding every day.
"Call Divereted" displayed before the incoming number, actually it is very hard to notice , even it is Nokia/SE/Mot phone.

it's mobile phone dependent feature actually.
My last Siemens phone display a small arrow in front of the number like -> , and the little arrow stayed there as long as it's ringing, but disappeared when you look at the call register later.
I'm hoping somewhere along the line, maybe developers of Caller ID alike could pick this up and add to the feature.

XDA always missing some good features as a phone

Anyone has any suggestion?

There is no solution yet.

Not solution yet?
Now we have Wm2k3SE. Is there any solution for bbourke's problem.
I do really miss this feature, because I use dual sim adapter and sometimes call goes to "inactive" SIM and is forwarded to active SIM...

does anyone know how to discover calls comming from forwarded lines?

Time to bring the call divert notification back to table...

When I receive a call to a number that has been diverted to my number, it doesn’t show any indication that it’s coming to the diverted number. Nokia phones have this feature, so im thinking that the smart people here at XDA shouldn’t have any problem on getting this feature to WM6 devices?

*Bump it up*

UP! Someone please comment on the issue in hand...

Mee too looking out for this
M having the same problem. The WM device doesn't show any indication for an incoming diverted call..
Any solution yet ?

That software did not work for my touch pro 2 with wm 6.1 any other solutions?

Full Call History in Windows Mobile 6.1

Is there any way to make my device (HTC Touch) display full call history by default (not only missed calls)?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Mlh

First of all I think this does belong to the HTC Touch section.
Second, I don't know exact wich dialer is being used but as far as I know there are several ways to show the information you asked for:
1. When you open the dialer. Hit right soft key and press Call History.
2. When you open the dialer. Hit the right or up to show the Call History.

It's not HTC related. The call history (I am talking about) is part of standard Windows Mobile system and since WM 6.1 the call history is filtered to show only missed calls by default. :-(

Could you post a screenshot? I think it's the dialer that shows the missed calls...

This is a real bummer. i don't know if its an HTC problem or a Windows 6.1 problem, but I don't really care to see ONLY my missed calls when I click on "Call History" with windows mobile 6.0 i used to see all my calls - dialed received and missed.
Now it only shows me "missed calls" with the three click option of showing me "dialed, received or all" calls.
I'm using an HTC Tytn II.
Does Kaiser Tweak have an answer to this?

anyone find out how to fix this problem?

Full call Hystory
Windows mobiles devices are fully featured in many areas, but it is ironic that one of the ways in which they are limited is in the phone functions. This can be rectified with Handy Assistant, an application that monitors and manages your incoming calls. I had the same problem on my Sony Xperia and on the Htc Diamond 2. On top of that you can download Pontui Home 2, Icontact or IDialer. These 3 applications can make the job,I have the icons of those on the screen on Spb mobile shell 3.0. Unfortunately Handy Assistant is not free.
All the best

Call Blocker

I have been searching and googling abit for any free or at least reasonably prices software that can block or just mute the ringer for some contacts
i have been using mcleaner on ipno but i cant find anything similar that says it supports leo
any suggestion guys
Thanks Again all those who helped on our Christmas present (leo custom roms

If you search in the Development and Hacking threads on XDA there is a tool called, IIRC, Call Firewall, which might be what you are looking for.
Use this tool to search http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all

There is a programme called 'Call Blocker' I used it on my Diamond, using WM 6.1, give it a go.

SPB Phone Suite does the job as well, they call it "Call Fliltering"

Looks like it simply rejects the call. If that is the case, the caller will be sent to my voicemail and I still have to delete it afterwards.
Call Bouncer is better. It accepts the call and hang up. No voicemail.
However, there is a problem I think would appear in all these programs. At times, I got a ring (or half a ring) before it is caught by Call Bouncer. I found this rather annoying.

Is there any apps out there that silents selected incoming calls instead of rejecting them?
Sometimes I don't want them to know I'm rejecting their calls, just that I wasn't around to receive them.

I have the impression that pocket call bouncer has an option to reject (accept and hang up) or ignore (turn of ringing). Give it a try. I've used it on HD2 but I don't like it because at times the phone rings once before the bouncer can take action.

Magicall does all that. It can:
1) reject (send to voicemail)
2) drop
3) pick up and hold
4) ignore (no ringing is sounded while caller keeps waiting)
5) handle incoming SMS
You can also set it to automatically send SMS to callers.

my most excellent buds.. the programs are all reactive stuff.. something has to happen for the programs to do something.
If you really want to let the person think you just didn't pick up his call, then just simply copy a silent ringtone and use it as a custom ringtone for the person... you'll never "hear" from him/her again.
And.. it just takes 30s to turn off voicemail.. I mean, you wouldn't want the person to wonder why is it that you have voicemail and he/she wasn't diverted there?

True...but I dun see how you can do that for incoming calls that don't show a number.

No worries...I'm using Callblock now and it works great....
Just replying moooxooom's statement that we should use a silent ringtone for all callers. Sometimes it takes just a little bit more thinking to capture all the usual scenarios.

Cool call management app - my recommendation
I use HTC Diamond 2 and recently came across a cool call management and call blocking app XBLOCKR. I first downloaded the Lite version from Microsoft Marketplace and was quite impressed. It has a great feature "Do Not Disturb" and alas it is not available in the Lite version that I was using. I contacted them through their website as they sell it for $ 19.95 which I feel is a reasonable price, but thought of bargaining
They gave me a code and I purchased it for $ 14.95.
It's a great app if anybody is looking for something different than call blocker apps. It gives you options to handle your call when it arrives as well you can pre-program. I am very happy having it on my Diamond. Check it out as they have a 100 call trial version with all the features.

The readme for Call Bouncer states that it ignores the same as Call Firewall does, this sending the caller over to your voicemail. The developers site for it is at http://www.ipocketpc.net/applications/Category32-Utilities.aspx (scroll down to it) to see if this is the same Call Bouncer you are talking about.

Hi
Check this one out http://www.pocketx.net/products/photocontactspro_ppc/

[ REQUEST ] Incoming Call Forwarded Indicator

In the WM6.5 is missing Indicator to display the incoming Call Forwareded Calls.
So, i need a program which will display an arrow (or something else) in the taskbar or pop up a indication window when a forwarded incoming call detected on Windows Phones.

yes i am also looking for that...
me too looking for that...

i have never seen this on WM... ițd like an app like that.... i just wonder why isn't it built in the OS...

This is a really embarrassing issue for me too. Anyone please help.

i guess there is no solution for this....

i want this program too!

Hi,
on google search WM Incoming Call Forwarded Indicator
