[SOLVED] Diverted Call/Waiting Call information - HTC Desire S

Though it's not a new thing, I was very surprised that nobody have or made such an application. There are several topics on XDA related to this subject, in none there is given an answer or solution.
What I am talking about? I am talking about the display of an indicator (graphic and/or text) to show if an incomming call is diverted from another number (say you have one number that is diverted on your actual one and someone is calling the first one) or if you call somebody and your call is "waiting" cause the other party is already in a call (and has call waiting function active on his phone).
These are two things that are present in most Nokia phones, some Samsung or LG have it and also some Sony Ericsson. But I never saw it on an Android phone (maybe the Samsung owners have it, I don't know)
Is there so hard to make such an application for Android? I'm sure alot of us needs it and will even pay for it (I will). There was something created for WinMo devices called O2 Plus V2.3 that offered this functionality, I can hardly believe there's noone that can make something similar for Android. I've created a similar topic in the Legend subforum but...nothing.
This can help alot for ex if you have two numbers, a business and a personal one, and after working hours you're closing the business phone and divert it to your personal number. In case someone is calling, it's good to know if it was calling on your personal number or maybe on your business one....and there are many samples like this.
If the guys made it for WinMo devices (PPC) I'm sure it can be made for Android as well.

Hope to hear something positive on this...

OK. So I've partially solved the issues. Or should I say it was solved by itself.
Doing some tests today, I saw that THERE IS an diverted call notification on my phone.
It's not included in the Android itself, nor in the dialer but I found that is showing when I receive a call made to one of my diverted numbers.
I think it is MIUI related, it is the only ROM on which this was happening. I've tested with CM7.1 right now and regardless of which number I call (the "active" one or the "diverted" one), the incoming call display looks the same. For MIUI though, things are different, there is an "Forward incoming call(s)" row below the displayed number.
I've made several tests and for sure it is indicating when you are called directly or on another number that is diverted on your number. I also attached two print screens for the normal call and the diverted one.
Maybe some other MIUI owners can confirm this, but till now no other ROMs are offering this (as far as I know) and this will make happy alot of people. Still there's no notification in case you are calling someone and you are "waiting" but that was not as important as this one.

you might want to ask a MOd to close the thread as its already solved.

weird text message. helppp

i just bought my tilt, just flashed to dutty v3 room and now i get a weird text every 4 mins. the number is 111145643 and it says wvi1 1.1 1111. is there anyway i can stop that text?
thanks!
Hmm I think you should call your carrier. Unless your phone is somehow sending itself a message, the kaiser probably isn't the culprit.
did you have express mail setup? if so you have to reinstall it on the phone then log onto the express mail server and delete the connection that you made for push e-mail or turn off push, then uninstall express mail on the phone and reset. you should be OK
^^I stand corrected!
I think that is for the IM+ program that ATT provides on their roms for im. The company is called wireless village i believe. I was bugged by it for a while, well the full hour I had my device before I flashed schaps!
I use Palringo until trillian gets a clue about wireless devices. It can sync with AIM, Yahoo, MSN, Gtalk, and others.
BTW, It uses data instead of sms to send messages like the IM+ does.
i had the same question but alltheway awnsered it for me already... its kind of a side effect of flashing sometimes. it will go away on its own. i think i got it like 8 times and havent had it since.

its not necessarily a side affect of flashing, it can go away if you reinstall the app that was on the old rom that is causing it... its something that was installed on your previous rom that used silent sms to alert the program to perform a specific function. LIke PTT, expressmail, or the cing/att IM client (to tired to remember the name)... When these programs are running your phone will recieve a ghost message that is only read by the app to wake it up. Alot of these problems were seen in the hermes thread and PTT.
Nope....That is what you get when someone tries to PTT you. Without PTT you get an SMS message. The way PTT works is basically Voice MMS messaging with a trigger to open & close the voice connection (PTT Button) Those digits you see are altered SMS addresses, they are altered so that PTT can recognize them & shift it from SMS to PTT.
Agin, whenever you kill PTT, you lose the ability to decipher the modified address & hence, it's received as a MMS instead. The reason you keep getting it is because the request that was sent retries a certain number of times before failing.
why dont you ask that question in the correct thread....the one that deals with your rom??
TRY TO THINK BEFORE EVERY FILLING THE FORUM WITH THREADS THAT COULD BE ASKED ELSEWHERE

Well, that would make Dutty's never ending post even longer. We should save that post for other problems directly regarding the rom, and comments on new updates.
Beside, I believe the problem has nothing to do with Dutty's V3, it work flawlessly for me.
I am just so tired of more or less stupid questions that constantly are repeated because newies does not take their time and READ before starting threads and asking questions. This has to stay in the DUTTY thread - my opinion.
We shouldnt end up in a new HERMES forum with all the noise and bad mouth it had last year
I do not have anything against stupid questions in general - just do some searching and reading first..
So welcome all - lets use SEARCH some more..

Wow man take a breath! Your gonna get an ulcer.
to his defense i havn't seen this question in dutty's thread at all. and i've only seen it once but not onthe kairser forums. so cut him a lil slack. plus we all learn something from it...ptt or express mail can cause this. thats sure something i didnt know. hope all is well now...enjoy your device sir.
This question was answered on the hermes forum. That is how I solved my issue. I still believe it deals with the IM app from att that uses wireless village. Ill try to find some links to help get it solved.
I couldnt find the thread in the hermes section that described the issue. It might be from OZ messanger and not IM+. It is the version that comes preinstalled from the ATT rom. It is designed to use sms to im therefore making ATT more money.
I had the same text messages when I first got the Kaiser and ran the im software. I believe my test message had a different set of numbers at the end.
Here is a link to Wireless Village. They are a group that is promoting interoperability between handsets for a variety of functions (IM included).
http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/affiliates/wv/wvindex.html
EDIT:
I found this article from the cingular...er...ATT forums. This is the issue I originally had and the same text from the same number. The issue below is because OZ messenger was closed and not properly exited.
http://forums.cingular.com/cng/board/message?board.id=samsung&message.id=16362
I spent all day yesterday figuring this out. I downloaded and install the .cab file to my storage card and then logged into the IM program (OZ). After signing out, it kept me logged into all 3 services (Yahoo, AIM, and MSN) and then I proceeded to receive 40+ text (SMS) messages b/c it was trying to "reach me". After sitting on the phone for about an hour and half with a great Data Service Tech Rep, we figured it out and now the IM program works just fine.

You know - Generally I don't get into these types of little spit / spat arguments - but today you have caught me at the perfect time.
Martinhdk - you are the type of person that makes dealing with the public so hard. You complain about things that aren't even worth complaining about. Sure - it was Dutty's ROM, but in essence had absolutely nothing to do with the ROM, it's probably the push to talk causing the issue. (Because I have the same issue) You had to try and prove yourself by spouting off and telling someone how to run things, when really, you were in the wrong.
Sometimes people get anxious and maybe don't do as much searching as they possibly should. Big DEAL - you are in a forum and since forums began it has been a problem. Does this require that you lay into the guy and tell him how stupid his question is? NO, it doesn't. You must be one very unhappy individual who probably lives a very lonely life - do us all a favor, in the future; keep your comments to yourself and let the moderators do their job.
I apologize to XDA - I know this thread / forum is not used for this. I just feel that sometimes these guys who insult someone younger / or maybe just not as experienced have a tendency to scare these guys away and I don't feel that is right.
i had the same exprience , its not the problem with your carrier , its the ATT IM+ app , if you exit the app w/o logging out of messenger app you keep getting this wierd msg , i tried unintsallng the app but no luck , finally i relashed a new rom and the error went away.
SOLUTION
What you do is you sign in to AIM at a desktop computer, the screenname you signed in on your phone. than a message will pop up saying you are signed in at two places and if you reply to that window with "1" it will sign you out at the other location, your phone. that should stop the messages.
the AIM service on your phone used txt msgs and when you close the program without first signing out. it usually causes that problem.
Stealth message?
I've heard of this so called "stealth" text message used by the carriers to send commands to the phone. My next question is - is it possible to send one of these so called "Stealth" messages from a phone to anther phone - with the proper instructions encoded in the text msg to automatically appear either on the users screen or in their inbox? I have heard this is possible but am very interested if someone could provide me a little more insight on it....
It's possible, it's been done. Would you like to know how? How do you want to send the malicious code? BT? WIFI? MMS? Maybe I can get you my bank account number & ssn while I'm at it?
There are other forums for that type of stuff, some proggies to do this are actually security auditing tools. Most all means though require the user to acknowledge receipt of whatever you send & then require them to execute it. However, I sincerely doubt that anyone here is going to give you any means to do something that may harm someone's device. Sure, you just want to play a prank, but how about the guy you then teach it to?

HOW TO: Increase size of caller id picture / photo??

Question is simple:
HOW TO: Increase size of caller id picture / photo?? during incoming/outgoing calls...
but without using any 3rd party software but just by registry or some other manual tweak...
How it's done?? Someone help!
I've used Blue Angel/PDA 2K for 4 years, & there is a great possibility in PDA 2k at increasing/decreasing contact pictures while incoming or outgoing call, besides it has a more hands-on and enhanced software of Photo Contacts than Universals'...
But it can be done in Uni, is'nt it so? BUT HOW?
The simplest way is to install S2U and activate full screen caller,
then use S2V to assign the photos to contacts,
Good luck!
respect the post bro!
thanks for your advice as a senior. its ok.
But it's clearly stated in my 1st post that
1. NO 3rd Party software
2. Only Manual tweak within the registry without installing anything.
Thanks.
There is no way without additional software modifications,
In your second post you mention about Photo Contacts program,you would like to know that it is a 3dy part program too.
The only way to increase (incoming) caller photos without any programs is to alter your Dialpad skin,but it will never be fullscreen anyway and I am not sure if there are such dial pad skins around fully compatible with WM6 and VGA (that's important if you are running on WM6 and above).
It's your choice,
the fast and easy way or..
Good luck!
<<In future PLEASE don't post same questions in multiple threads sections>>
first i wud like to say that i used "Photo Contacts" as a General term.
If any 3rd company has made a software over that general term, it's not
supposed to be applied everywhere like you just did. Sorry on your perception.
2ndly Bro, if u don't know the solution there's no need to fight, nor to show your attitude over someone that STOP posting & stop this stop THAT!
Discussion is the only part to success, not by fighting. REMEMBER THAT!
& Calm down, relax, get easy...This is a well balanced discussion, & fight is'nt excepted here but only precise knowledge/data.
Bro, Use a Blue Angel/PDA2k, then ur mind will get a little change,
that if features were more in WM2003, then why NOT in WM6.1 ??
I am flaming no one just,answering by facts,
I've had a Qtek 9090 too and know the program you are talking about
http://www.ixbt.com/pda/t-mobile/mda-compact/mda-compact-screen-photocontacts.png
Trust me,the way you asked to ''increase the size of caller id'' isnt realizable.
No offense,
just use some workarounds and you'll get something better and in fullscreen.
(and in future if you will find a Reg Tweak to make that,fell free to post it)
As for ''STOP posting & stop this stop THAT!'' I remember you to read and follow General XDA-Developers Rules

dear dr Fuma, for a while, waiting for some one in unkown times found it in registry,

In Your BlueAngel there was no way to display caller ID photos by OS itself. There was additional software involved (3rd party software). Photo Caller ID was introduced in WM5.
BTW. I had animated gifs those times and i couldn't find any software which can do the same since then...

[Q] T-Mobile Name ID at all possible?

Is it possible- at all to add this feature to stock or a custom ROM? Google Caller ID is NOT the same. There are plenty of calls that come in that Google does not show me the name of the caller. This is a feature my company pays for and worked really well on my old, T-Mobile branded HTC One. Most ALL calls that came in had a name associated with them. I did find some old, outdated, threads with a "T-Mobile Name ID" apk to install or zip file to flash and while the app itself seems to work the actual Name ID (or caller ID) does not. Any help would be appreciated.
bump.
been a few weeks so bumping...
Blah, no need to bump. Sadly, it appears that CNAP is half-baked on the Nexus 5. As reported in this very aged issue (sorry, can't post a direct link till I rack up 10 posts, so you'll need to reassemble the link below):
code google com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3796
the Nexus 5 apparently only displays the CNAM in the notification shade, which of course vanishes once the notification is dismissed. It does not appear while the phone is ringing, or after the fact in the dialer's call log.
Given that CNAP is an integral part of the GSM spec, and not some carrier-specific bolt-on, I'd hope that Google would be more uniform in its implementation. Unfortunately, given the age of this outstanding issue, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Why is Whatsapp "afraid" of dual sim?

It is widely known that Whatsapp does not support dual sims in one phone. There are numerous workarounds for this (some more shady then others), but that is not what I started this thread for.
I am asking myself why Whatsapp does not support it. I mean: the amount off questions and information that is spread around the internet clearly indicates a wish for this feature from the users, and to be really honest: it can't be that difficult to integrate it in the app (just allow for a second phonenumber to be authenticated, that's basically it...).
I have searched for the underlying reason why Whatsapp does not want this, but I can't find anything on this. Does anybody know why this is?

weird question about Google call screening

Why is there no alternatives to this?
Let me expand on my question. Google has made so many different things on Android and XDA and devs and ordinary people have made some incredible mods as well as normal non-rooted people have made some really useful apps available to all. Then why hasn't someone created a call screener you can just install to your rooted phone. Have a set of numbers it doesn't screen, then screen all others and just give you live transcripts of what they say?
I'm by no means an expert, just a curious person
