I just switched from a Treo 800w to the HTC Touch Pro. The Pro has much over the 800w but not the phone application. Unless I'm wrong, you can't make conference calls and when you have another call on hold, you can't swap back and forth. I think these are 2 very important features, especially the ability to switch between 2 calls. So, am I missing something?? Or is the phone app that crummy? Are there any alternative phone apps out there?
You are kidding right!? To make a conference call you dial the first number and then press the phone hook pick up button again and dial the second number. Press the hook button again and the calls are joined. If you meant something else "Happy Halloween"
No I'm not kidding, smart guy. How the hell would I have known that since there is nothing about it in the manual from Sprint.
You didn't say anything about swapping the two calls, genius.
Not a genius. I had the same problem earlier trying to find the 3-way button and thought about it again when I saw your question. I tried it out and it worked. The swap works the same way.
i've got a fuze here so i don't know if it's any differrent but swapping calls and conference calls are real easy. When one call is in progress there's an add call button on the screen.push that to call another number and once it's connected there is a button for swap and a button for conference (among others). Couldn't be easier imo.

I think we need something like this on Sprint as well. I had to have the other person hang up so that it would go back to my other call...
I have an unlocked version of touch pro and I get the swap option in standard phone application

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.
Lee
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.
http://www.hackcanada.com/blackcrawl/cell/gsm/hashcod.html#divertno
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.
Regards
thanks so much. it worked on my diamond. Indian model.
The Conference / Swap calling feature on the Sprint Touch Pro doesn't make any sense the press the answer call button to switch CRAP method they have is really really really bad and doesn't work.
Is there a tweak to get the private and conference menu items to display in the menu when a call is in progress like the way dash does it so I can easily switch back and forth between calls and or join calls without the mystery.
Or even have the interface on during calls like the Fuze has where you can EASILY swap calls and make conference calls.
It would fix the biggest problem I have with this phone.
Any help would be appreciated XDA Community
Terrible
I second IcyKid, the conference call is terrible! I still don't know how to make a conference call if somebody calls me in and I am already in another call. I can do it if I make the second call, but anyways, it's horrible.

Man I hear ya I hope so much that someone from this site can wake me up from this nightmare that is called sprint htc touch pro conference calling plz
I hear that someone used an old .cab file from their Fuze and got Internet Connection Sharing working on their Verizon TP2 ? Can anyone confirm / share the .cab?
Also, I know "conferencing" is disabled on the Verizon TP2 but I have heard you can still do a 3-way-call? I have not been able to figure this out - can anyone fill me in?
Thanks

Info on 3-ways calls straight from the HTC manual located here: http://member.america.htc.com/downl...ro2_Verizon/HTCTouchPro2UsersManualforVzW.pdf
This if for CDMA mode, GSM mode is also in the manual.
Making Three-way Calls in CDMA Mode
To set up a three-way call, directly dial the participants and add each connected call to the three-way call.
Starting a three-way call
Press the TALK/SEND button to open the Phone screen.
Make the call to the first participant. See “Making a call from the Phone screen” for instructions.
When the first call is connected, make a call to the second participant. The first call is put on hold when
you dial the second call.
When the second call is connected, tap Flash to start the three-way call. The screen displays Call in
progress.
Tap Flash
When a three-way call is in progress, you can open the keyboard view the call in landscape view. You can also
tap Flash to cycle between the three-way call, Caller 1 only, and Caller 2 only.

No need for a Fuze cab for ICS or anything like that. Just download the attached XDA WiFi sharing cab and you can turn your phone into a wireless router and connect from any wireless PC/laptop that supports ad-hoc wireless networks (basically all of them).
See the other post above for directions on the 3-way call.

can someone with a verizon tp2 try 3 way call?
i tried method using flash button. i tried method of using send button. it does not work for me in nyc area. if anyone can try this to confirm it does work it would be much appreciated.
while on a call i pull up keypad. dial number and press send. i get a notice that new call is on hold. (which is opposite what is implied in the manual) i press flash button and new call disappears. only on original call again... what am i doing wrong?
I tried this once right when I got mine and got similar results as you.
I'll have to try this again, I'm rarely making 3 way calls from my cell.

Hey, I answered this exact question on another thread as far as tethering. I have VZW and these instructions I posted worked perfect. Check here for all the instructions you need to tether using your unlimited data plan.
well.... supposedly it works now. I called tech support. she grabbed 2 cell phones. she called me and we connected. then I dialed the number of her 2nd cell phone. I hit the send button and after she picked up and I heard her voice on the line I hit the send button again. and she said both calls were still connected. hmm... So I guess it does work. although on the phone screen it just says connected. No indication connected to what??
So does that mean nothing was ever disabled on the phone... just that the network didn't support it?
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.

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?

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.
Best Call Managers
Hi
Check this one out http://www.pocketx.net/products/photocontactspro_ppc/
Allows you to set call management individually or in groups. Can set timed profiles. I rate this as one with the most variety of options
On my previous Sprint phone, the Hero, I was able to change the slot cycle index through the programming menu, to get rid of ringer lag.
I can't seem to find any threads on doing the same thing for the NS4G. There is one for the Epic 4G, would that maybe work on my phone?
The problem is that some calls coming in don't ring, and I don't see that I had a missed call. I suspect it's because it's ringing the Google Voice server first, but the lag prevents it from ringing my phone in time.

Slot cycle index is only if the call you receive has a delay. The best way to check is to call your cell from a landline and see how many times it rings before your cell rings. If it's 1 or 2 rings, that's not gonna help you at all to change it.
Either way, you need to use QPST to do it, so it's similar to any CDMA phone.
