[Q] How to "unstack" calls in incoming call log - General Questions and Answers

First, I guess, my system setup. Just bought a new phone, and the old one (original HTC Touch, WinMo 6.1) had a setting for this but I can't seem to find a corresponding setting in the new phone, phone being the only thing changed.
HTC Touch Pro 2 (purchased with WM6.5 already installed). It's a new (to me) phone, so I don't know that much about it yet.
What I want is, if someone calls me half a dozen times in a row (or I miss half a dozen calls in a row from the same number), I'd like to see that reflected in my call log. In WinMo6.1, I remember it being a difficult-to-find setting (which I can no longer seem to find). Oddly enough, outgoing calls are already "unstacked", so if I call the same number 5 times, I get 5 entries in the call log.
I need this cuz sometimes when someone calls (or tries) that many times, it's cuz there's an emergency...and I would return their call first, even if they weren't the first person to call me.

2125 "answer" softkey sends calls to VM

Hello everyone, I'm brand new to this forum. However, I skimmed over quite a few pages of posts and did a couple of searches regarding the issue I'm experiencing to no avail.
About 50% of the time that I attempt to answer an incoming call with the answer softkey the phone will halt for a second (while still showing the incoming call screen) and then return to the today screen showing that I have a missed call and sends the caller to voice mail. I originally thought that it might be a delay from accidentally hitting the ignore button when pulling my phone out of the holster, however this is not the case since the same thing will happen when my phone is on my desk and I attempt to answer it.
I am running the newest available firmware from HTC for the 2125 (v2.0.13.0) and this is a refurbished phone from Cingular that I received only a week ago, any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
- Dan
hey,
I have a qtek 8300 that I am using on cingular, and I occasionally have that problem, certainly not 50% though. My suspicion is that this is not a phone problem, but a cingular problem w/ voice mail. I have noticed that the number of rings before going to voice mail can be extremely variable (sometimes after a couple rings, sometimes after about 10-15). I haven't talked to anyone at cingular about this, or checked to see if there is a way to adjust the time-to-answer, because it is not a big enough deal for me (probably <10% calls), but maybe worth checking. I could be totally wrong though, and you have some wierd short-circuit w/ your button. good luck.
I also noticed similar behavior from France with Orange.
So actually I've setup my line to never forward calls after a delay to the voicemail (it will do only if the mobile is not on the network at all)

Help with brother's Fuze (Missed calls, Can't send/recieve calls)

Both my brother and I bought Fuze's last week and he has recently been having trouble with his.
Unfortunately I live on the opposite coast so I can't troubleshoot his phone using the hands on approach and instead will try asking here
The Problem:
After working splendidly for the past week and a half, my brother has noticed within the last two days that he cannot send or receive calls regularly. When he is able to receive a call or make an outgoing connection his call quality is significantly distorted and garbled, often ending in a dropped call. Also when people place a call to him it is often the case that the phone doesn't even ring or show up in the call logs and he is only made aware of the call if someone leaves a voicemail.
I insist to him that this is not the phones fault and instead a service problem with the fault belonging all to ATT. I remember having the same problems with my 8525.
He is adamant to the fact that something must be wrong with his Fuze / Touch Pro. He says that when he pops his sim card into his old krazr (for which the Fuze is replacing) all the problems disappear. He also insists that he has full bars and 3g service at his location.
Background:
Via mymobiler and remote desktop, I added YouTube and Live Search back to the internet tab. I added a few cities to the Weather tab using the WeatherDatabaseEditor from andreas.falke and also reverted his phone to the original Black Touch Pro theme (found here) using Diamond TF3D Config 0.6.7.
I also removed the forcecell connection registry entry to allow him to tether his phone.
I believe none of these tweaks would have caused his current problems and still believe the blame mostly falls on ATT's service.
Any advice, help, or comments into this matter would be greatly appreciated!
You could have him try flashing to a different radio just to test. They don't hard reset the device, and as long as you use another TP radio you don't need to be security unlocked.
If that doesn't work, flash back to the original radio and I would bring it in for service.

I suggest he reverts back to the original theme because whenever I change my theme I cannot make calls or receive calls but when I go back to the original theme calls work perfectly. Please let us know your result.

Fuze doesn't receive calls

I've been having a problem with my Fuze randomly not being able to receive text messages or calls.
Sometimes when people call, they say it rings twice and goes to voice mail. All the while, I never hear anything or get a notification. This happened once after I texted someone to call me when they get a chance. They tried 3 times and then texted me back to say that they were getting sent to voice mail. I didn't get notification for either until after I called this person myself 20 minutes later. Right when the call connected, I got notification of a new text message.
Another time, somebody was calling me for 3 days. I didn't know he was trying to reach me until he finally left a voice mail and I got the notification for that (no missed call notifications).
I called AT&T and their tech support did some tests (called my phone) but since it isn't reproducible 100% of the time, they couldn't offer any explanation.
This isn't a bars/signal issue either as this is occurring in the same spot where my Tilt would always receive calls fine.
Has anyone else seen this?
I had the exact same problem with my Sprint Touch Pro & ended my contract early & switched to at&t. Hopefully it's not a fundamental hardware problem.

Did you get a Fuze when you switched? Has that worked better for you? I'm still within my 30 days, so I'm debating exchanging it or just returning it and giving up.
I'm having the same problem. I did a quick search and found this;
This AT&T Forum Post
I tried the workaround and haven't had a chance to really test it yet though. I also noticed a few other settings in there that might have accounted for it.
One selection inside the phone settings had to do with whether calls went to voicemail when you're "Unavailable" or "Busy." I'm not familiar enough with the phone to know when it might tag me as either one so I unchecked both and I'm going to recreate my missed calls this morning.
Someone called after the phone had been sitting on my desk all night so I thought maybe it thought I was "Unavailable" due to inactivity (I dunno, I'm winging it) so I'm letting it idle for a few hours and getting a call later to see what happens.
Incidentally I have the exact same problem, no call coming in, but then I get the voicemail message after I try calling someone.
Unless I'm misunderstanding your point, "Unavailable" just means that your phone is switched off or out of signal, and "Busy" means you are already in a call. It's nothing to do with the behaviour or features of the phone.
Cheers,
Steve.
Yeah, I'm wondering if the phone is becoming "Unavailable" for some other reason than me being out of range. I have full bars in the house and that's where this all happened.
I've noticed, too, that I didn't get any email (I have it set to check every hour, even hit send/receive after someone told me they sent me something and it still didn't find it until I sent a second email to myself from another address)
Again, I don't know much about phones but it almost seems like the phone has bars but drops off the network for accepting calls/messages until you do something to activate the system again... or something. I dunno, just speculating.
Last week I went in and exchanged my Fuze for a new one since it was still within the 30 days. Up until tonight, I thought the problem was fixed. I was chatting with my wife over IM and she told me that she tried to call but that it just went to voicemail. I asked her to call back and leave a voicemail to see if it would notify me. I also asked her to send me a text. I didn't get notification for either. I checked my data connection by starting up Opera and going to a few sites. So I know that I had a verifiable connection to the network. I called my voicemail and checked the message I knew that she had left. Only after I made the call did I get notifications for the text messages I had missed. I never got any notification for the voicemail or missed calls.
Unfortunately, it seems this is a problem that isn't related to individual hardware as this is my 2nd phone with the same problem. I've also replaced my SIM card since a salesperson at an AT&T store suggested that it might help. I'm running the stock AT&T ROM minus the bloat, so it's not a custom ROM issue either. At this point, I'm not sure what I should do.
The only other thing I can think of that makes me unique is that I currently reside in Washington state but my number is one that I had ported from California. Is there anything about you're (skyau) situation that makes you unique?
Well the same thing happened again tonight. I received text messages 10 minutes late and I didn't get a voicemail notification until I initiated a call. As much as this sucks, I'm hoping it will stay this consistent so that I can have tech support replicate the problem and then try and fix it.
You may have a problem with your phone number. I'd try changing it.
Have you had experience with a problem like this? Is the phone number really the issue?
If that's what the problem actually is, I'm willing to get a new number. But I don't want to change it just to check and see if that fixes it.
same problem! Really pissing me off I just lost a important job because of this issue a few moments ago! Is everyone running a stock rom? I tested a few, now back to stock no apps nothing trying to find this gremlin WTF!
I'm running stock ROM without the bloat.
I exchanged my Fuze (I'm now on my 3rd) on Saturday and changed my phone number yesterday. I'm waiting to see if the issue happens again. If it does, I'll probably do stock ROM, all the bloat, no apps. If there are still problems, I'll probably try different ROMs.
I was able to get AT&T tech support on the line when the problem was occurring luckily. We went through his battery of tests and he verified that there was a problem. It would seem that the phone forgets/loses it's connection to the towers/network. Notifications (calls, texts, voicemails) aren't received until after the phone remembers/reconnects to the network. It remembers/reconnects when you initiate a call or send a text (essentially require the phone to use the network).
The tech told me that as far as he could tell, it was a hardware issue and that I should exchange my phone. So I'm on number 3 now and hoping for the best. I changed my number because I've been in a different state for 2 years and I had no ties to previous area code. So I figured now was as good a time as any to get a full fresh start (phone/number/SIM).
That sucks about losing the job.
Bump, I just realized a few moments ago that my phone rings once and then it says missed call, i always assumed they called me and then hung up after one ring in case i was in class or i was busy so that i could call them back. this is not the case? Also a few cases a call will drop every now a then... is this due to the radio rom i flashed? typical symptoms of a incompatible radio for a specific location? I'm using the .25.35 blackstone radio in ithaca, ny.
Having the same issue. Phone is asleep, then alerts me to a VM. Missed call doesn't show up in missed call list.
Really pissing me off and I think is responsible for my issues with Slide2Answer somehow.
The only time I have missed calls is because of MSVC. If someone calls and it is private or unknown, it will not ring. If it is somebody in my phone book or who doesn't have a private number, the phone will ring.
So I turned MSVC off and the private callers and the unknown callers will ring in.
it happens to me sometimes as well sometimes the d pad area will flash but i cant answer and it wont appear on screen then it wont say missed call.
sometimes if i try to hit the dial button it will also drop connection and instantly pick it up again
annoying but not a huge problem for me
and of course not on stock rom

[Q] Missed call behavior

I'm new to the android world (just got a Mytouch 4G) and have a vexing issue. I'm a broker and get a lot of calls from random numbers not on my contacts list. The problem is that for missed calls, I call the person back, but the number is still listed on the call log with the missed call. Is there any way to instead have the standard behavior I'd always been used to with older symbian and win-mo phones of automatically clearing the missed call icon when I've called the number back?
Sometimes I have a lot of calls to make and can't get to missed calls until after making those other calls... now when I see a missed call, I have to look through all the numbers I've recently dialed to make sure I haven't already called them back. Am I just missing something, or is there a way to get the desired behavior?

[Q] Called From My Own Number After Voicemail?

Two or three times now its happened where if someone calls my phone and I miss the call, after they leave a voicemail I get notified of the voicemail, but then my phone starts ringing again instantly and the caller ID shows my own number. If I try to answer that "call" I get silence, then some random number dialing, then it disconnects. Any ideas?
The first time it happened I thought whoever had called just called right back but I missed that call as well. When I looked at my call log, it shows my own number as a missed call. It just happened now as I was sitting at my desk, I didnt answer because I was on my office phone, and just as I got the notification, I got another call from my own number. Seems odd to me...
Anyone else getting this ever?

EDIT: ARHD 3.6.7 and included kernel. Its happened on other versions of ARHD also however.
ive never had that issue due to my rom or hardware but i kno theres apps out there were someone can call you and itll show any # they want, including your own. If your rooted try a full wipe and fresh install otherwise someone can be messin with u

I could only think this is your phone's way of telling you to check your voicemail. usually, on t-mobile anyway, if you dial your own cell phone number it redirects you to your voicemail. It could be an error with your firmware or network though. Have you made any changes to your phone recently (i.e. ROM change/update)? Think of any possible conditions that may have changed with your phone since this started. Have you contacted your provider? Check your online call history through your carrier site and see if the same number appears at the time of call. If it does, the issue could be someone spoofing you. You can do this with spoofcard/spoofapp. It's hard to actually connect with a phone with the same number you're spoofing though, since it redirects to voicemail. As a precaution, i'd add a pin to my voicemail if I were you- in the event that this is the case. I found this out by spoofing one of my buddies once. In an attempt to boggle his mind, I tried using his number as the number of origin and found out that it directed to his voicemail, giving me access to that information.
It happens if I call my own phone from my house and leave a voicemail. I dont think its anyone spoofing my number. As you said, its almost like the phone gets a notification from a remote computer and a call from it at the same time.
I has done it at least once with every version of ARHD I have ran, but not all the time.

Call up your voicemail and go through the main menu to make sure voicemail paging notifications are turned off.
Ha! I bet that was it! Thanks go to you sir.
It was turned on for urgent messages (which explains why not all did it). When I turned it off and left myself a voice mail test it didn't do it. Weird, I wonder how it got turned on...
