Hello,
I really hate when I call somebody and after some phone rings (usually 4) the phone from the other side starts automatically the answering machine.
Is there any software that allows to create something similar to a "black-list" of contacts, and when you call somebody of this black-list our phone automatically hang up before the fourth phone ring??
Thanks!

better still there is some hardware that does it,
if you look down at your hand you will notice 4 fingers and a "thumb", now this is the tricky bit! When you hear the phone ring 4 times you take your "thumb" and press the hang up button on either the phone you are using or the handsfree/headset.

Sounds pretty complicated

Do you have the .cab for the 'thumb'? I looked on the wiki and couldn't find it.

Hi,
I've got a problem with my Trinity, where if it rings and I pull it out of my pocket, sometimes one of the buttons gets pushed as it rubs past the material, so either the call can be hung up on or it gets answered before I can see who's calling.
I also get a similar problem if a calendar alarm goes off, or if there is a text message. Sometimes these can be dismissed before I get a chance to see what is causing the notification.
I guess this is a problem on many PPC phones which dont have a cover. Does anyone else experience this?
Does anyone know of any way to solve this? Perhaps having a secondary lock button which needs to be pressed before the hard buttons become active or something like that...?
I guess it would need some software installed, as I havent found any way to do this through the normal settings.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Cheers,
Ben
My Jasjam comes with a screen lock. Once this is activated you first need to press the unlock button which gets assigned to the left soft key followed by another button on the screen. Quite effective I would say.

Hi,
Is this the same as the "Device Lock"?
My phone has this too, but it doesn't work for when there is an incoming call...ie you dont have to unlock the phone first to press the green "handset" button.

Hi Ben,
I have been having the same issue as you with my Jasjam. I tried using a hard case which was just too bulky and annoying, so I've since used something like those iPod socks and just keep it in my pocket. I just take extra care when pulling it out so it doesn't knock the green answer key. I think this is just something we're just going to have to get used to unfortunately.
I held off from posting this, because I can't seem to find a reason why it's happening.
Basically, I'll get a phone call. I'm close to the phone, and have no problem answering it immediately. But maybe 3 out of 7-8 calls, I can't answer it. It'll just keep ringing until the calling party gets my voicemail. I hit the green phone button, the left menu button (for answer), even the word "answer" on the bottom of the touch screen itself. No matter what I do, the call will not pick up. Keep in mind, there is no Bluetooth involved. If I do happen to have a bluetooth earpiece on, I can hear the call ringing in the earpiece, but pressing the action button doesn't pick up the call like it should.
I'm at my wits end here. What could possibly be causing this?

Is your memory getting junky? I presume that the call application takes a lot of memory that it got full and had nothing left to take your response back Im not sure though. Do you ever get complaints like no signs of an Incomming call when people call you? I get it sometimes and still exploring to find a solution.

The only 3rd party app I have installed is Opera Mobile. I only run it when I need it, and always use the "exit" option. I keep my phone as fresh as possible by killing unnecessary apps. The only things that stay open are my threaded message chat and Outlook.
As for your missed call (straight to voicemail), this happens to everyone not on 3g. For some reason, voice calls will not go through when there is net access. I don't know why this phone can't prioritize. My BB Pearl had no problem with that. If I was loading a webpage, it would simply pause the download and the phone would ring. Not sure, but maybe it has something to do with EDGE. I don't think the Treo 750 has EDGE capability...
The 750 definetly has EDGE, but it's usually CDMA phones with 1x that have the issue of not being able to take a phone call while transfferring data. It does sound like you could have another lemon 750 on your hands.

My experience wasn't as bad as yours. It just took a very long time between seeing the ringing icon and the time the phone actually rings, and then a long time between pressing the answer button and the time the call started.
I upgraded to WM6 and from the few calls I received since it appears the problem is now resolved and the 750 behaves like a normal phone.
Hope this helps.
Y.

I am having the same problem if you come up with a fix please let me know. the only thing I found that helps is to make your phone ring longer to give you a better shot at answering. here is a link to this fix

Hi,
How I can disable the auto display light off during the voice call on my windows phone 7.
please advise.
Thanks
JAZEEL
Ah! Thank you button and quote buttons are too close! Well.. enjoy the thank you vote!
You cannot. I mean it is critical function. If the screen stays on it will register the touches and will create undesired effects like ending the call, or putting it on hold etc... Windows Mobile had these problems and people came up with numerous ways to get the screen off during call.

I mean, if we keep the phone on our ear, the screen display will be automatically off. It's because of the sensor action on the top of the phone. Is there any registry fix for it?
Why would you want the display on while the phone is at your ear? It comes back on as soon as you pull it away.

I need the backlight to be dim, not complete dark screen..
Any reg fix for it?
I've really enjoyed my Skyrocket (switched from iPhone 4), but I have to say by far my biggest complaint since using this phone is trying to talk on the phone. I can't talk two minutes without suddenly hitting a bunch of keypad keys, making all kinds of beeping noises, which then typically mutes the line. I take the phone away from my face, wait for the screen to return from black (typically takes about 5 seconds), then I go back and unmute the phone and return to talking. Or it just puts them on hold. This is such a prolific problem that I find myself screaming profanities at my phone on a daily basis lol. It's really extremely frustrating. My google-fu has lead me to NO answers, which amazes me because I figure this HAS to be more common of a problem. I've tried holding my phone so many different ways - making sure my face is making contact with the whole phone and pressing hard, holding just the top half to my ear and holding lightly, attempting to make no contact at all - no matter what I try, I still hit this problem an unfortunate number of times per conversation. Is there no app in the market that tries to improve face-touch recognition or anything like that?
When you make the call push the power button to lock it

Oh. See, on the iPhone, that ends the call, so I didn't think of that. Thanks!

There is a setting to make the power button end the call as well
shouldn't his proximity sensor kick in? When i make a phone call, as soon as i put the phone to my face the screen shuts off

Yeah that works fine on mine. He may have disabled the sensor in settings, or it wasn't on by default for some reason
Settings/Call/Turn on Proximity Sensor.
If this is checked off your screen should go dark when you put your face up to it (and no buttons getting pushed...)
Occasionally when on a call, my phone will put the person on hold. I don't realise this until the person on the other end doesn't respond, and the solution is always to move the phone from my head, and take them off hold. It sometimes happens several times during the same calL. Any ideas?

Settings -> Motions and Gestures. Turn off the mute one.
That makes sense! Thanks!
Thanks for that- thought it was just me mashing mute when the phone was held up to my ear!
well I thought that would work, but I guess not... any other ideas?
