Was wondering if there are applications available that would allow you to transfer a current phone call to another number? For clarity - one could answer the call and then opt to transfer the caller to some other number. I am able to do this on my moto. L9.

I believe that is "called forwarding" and if you have that available from your carrier, then you don't need any special application. Just go to the settings in the phone menu and go to the tab Network services (or something like that).
Hope this helps...

Thank you for your contributions guys.
Hi all,
I'm finding this issue really annoying: I am very much used to my old Nokia's feature "Edit before call". Unfortunately, as you all may already know, this feature is noticeably lacking in WP7. I know there are some paid-app solutions to this: Calling Card and Smart Dial; but these are not free. Can someone recommend a free, simple app that offer this feature? I don't really care about other features, I just want a bare app to simply allows me to do this.
what did the "edit before call" do on nokia?
Made a post about the ability on certain webpages to click on a phone number and WP7 gives you a "Edit phone number" screen before pressing Call (or Cancel), but I have no idea where my post went.
Weird...
So wp7 does this natively? No app required?
Sent from my Focus using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Edit before call is basically what the name suggests: you can edit the number before you actually make the call; useful when you are making international calls, and you want to append the IDD access number before your number.
WP7 lacks this ability for some reason (iPhone and Android lacks this feature too), but my Nokia phone had this... I really missed this feature...
i just finished bulding "Edit Be4 Call"; it should be soon avaiable on the marketplace.
Ah, it's free

Well, for me it's working. Try searching "Edit Be4 Call" or "stilatore" in the marketplace from your phone.
I was recently told that there is an app that tracks any phone using the mobile number.
Apparently you dont need it installed on the phone your tracking all you need is to know their mobile phone number.
Is this even possible?
Can anyone tell me if this person is talking out of their A$$ or if this app ever existed? because it would be amazingly helpful in finding an Optimus G that was recently stolen from me. (I know who has it and know the # associated with their sim.)
If you can confirm this, can you also provide a link for download please? many thanks.
EDIT: I never wrote down my IMEI or serial #.. so Im kind of hooped.. Is there anyway to push an app to someone elses phone? or someway I can get this dealt with that I may not have thought of yet? My carrier has no log of the phone because I didnt buy it through them.
Tracking mobiles!

You can track a mobile using ANDROID DEVICE MANAGER which is pre-installed in mobiles if the play store gets updated.
ANDROID DEVICE MANAGER can be accessed through
SETTINGS --> SECURITY --> DEVICE ADMINISTRATORS
Once you activate ANDROID DEVICE MANAGER, you can track your mobile, erase datas from your lost mobile by logging in to ANDROID DEVICE MANAGER in a web browser by giving the email id and password which you used in your mobile.
However i dont recognize any app that tracks a mobile using IMEI number..

I'd be very very careful with apps advertized having this feature.
In theory, the mobile provider can track your phone, because they issued the SIM and phone number to you. But the providers don't supply this information to anyone but law enforcement/NSA/other three letter agency. Imagine the stalking possibilities...
Why I'd be very careful (as in: not downloading and installing at all...) about this is, that I've seen websites advertizing this service, and when you enter a phone number, you're asked to download and run an exe file. It probably won't work but infect your computer with malware.
I doubt it's any different with android apps.
If you install a tracking app on your phone yourself that reports to somewhere (e.g. google device tracking, "lost my iphone"), that's a whole different situation - you're voluntary giving your position to someone to keep, and that's sensor data acquired from your phone.
The truth
Everyone needs to know the truth that is sometimes hidden behind the most deceptive appearances. Everyone, too, needs to be certain of the sincerity of their relatives...
SpyBubble is likely to become the best smartphone application for that => phoneservicetracker.com

I don't think tracking a phone using the mobile number is possible for consumers, if you lodge a police complaint they may go through your mobile carrier and then track it (depending on how much effort the police in your country put in for a lost phone). But if you know who stole it and their phone number that's a good enough basis to talk to the cops, you're going to need some proof of purchase of the phone though...
Just in case the guy hasn't wiped the phone and one of your accounts is still active on it, you can push apps through that account on Google Play by going to the Google Play website on your pc and logging in with that account. Then you can push one of many tracking apps and figure out where your phone is. My personal favourite is an app called 'android lost' through which you can do the usual - track, wipe, ring, vibrate etc but you can also access the mic and the cameras.
Also, you can maybe play it smart with some social engineering. Get a girl to call up the guy and ask him out at some place and you'll find him there!

Best integrated feature and don't see why they would take it away but still integrate blocked calling feature? Stupid. Know any third party apps that work with KitKat 4.4.2 for this?
So did Verizon take this feature out or maybe in the software update that brings us the Power Save modes we will get this feature back?
On the HTC site it shows it's still possible on the M8, http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/howto/464987.html

Made a thread on the Intl M8 forum trying to get someone over there to check. Will at least confirm if HTC said screw it you don't need this feature or Verizon/US Carriers (once other carriers get this device in hand to see) said screw it you don't need this feature. HTC says the M8 has this feature. Unless they are wrong or again only on the Intl version or maybe just latest Firmware since ours is so old and don't even have the simple Power Save mode yet. Geez my Sense 4+ had Power Save mode. http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/howto/464986.html

Exactly! Always had this feature even on Sense 5.5 with Android 4.2.2 on my HTC One X+ device. Seems odd Sense 6.0 would take the feature out and leave in the block call feature???
Third party apps never work as well as fully integrated features IMO. Sure they can work for the most part, only takes that one time though it doesn't work to ruin it all, lol!

Long press a message you only get options for Delete, Call, Open Contact. That's it! If you go into a text conversation window you can lock a message by tapping it and shows a lock symbol. Doesn't hide the message at all, think all this does is prevent message from being deleted.
Well looks like there is hope people!!! Straight from the HTC website it provides it (see link above) and also just got confirmation from an international unbranded HTC M8 user!
1.54.401.5 and yeah, stock unbranded international.
So i guess we then have to wait for either:
A. Verizon push us an OTA update with latest firmware 1.54.401.5
B. We have to wait for S-Off and then we can update on our own to firmware 1.54.401.5 and have it along with a world of opportunities?!?:fingers-crossed:
Just tested out the block caller feature that we still do have built into the stock dialer app. This feature is useless, try it! I blocked a phone number. Then had that phone call my phone, after 2 rings goes to voicemail, i left a voicemail. Now my phone vibrates telling me i have a new voicemail and also displays an icon on the notification bar with a person and a lock next to them. I pull down notifications and says tap to stop call forwarding or slide to dismiss.
So basically if you want someone to not call you you're SOL! They can still leave you a voicemail and the phone shows you right away that someone you didn't want to call just called. Gotta love the privacy here, WTF?!?
Really miss iPhone here with iBlacklist. The only app that got it right all the time! Would not let people leave a VM, would just make a busy tone if they called. Above that would save their texts they tried sending you inside the iBlacklist app itself if you cared to read them or just delete them. This device has no options like this and seems nothing on the market is compatible with kit kat 4.4.2?

Check out Who Are You. It pairs best with YouMail, but it's not required. I use them both and once I ditch a call, it doesn't just hang up on them. It plays the Verizon Wireless number disconnected message and then hang up.

Does it block text too? Seems nothing blocks text in kit Kat 4.4.2 and HTC phones have issues not blocking calls instead sending them to VM.
I recently installed truecaller. I was satisfied with it but then a question raised in my mind: from where does the app collect the caller IDs. I installed the app on one of my friend's mobile & tried to search the numbers of my relatives which are present on my phonebook. I was surprised to see that he is getting my relative's nick names (As I saved their numbers on my phonebook) as search result. After searching on google I am preety sure that this app uploads the users caller ID as well as his phonebook to its server. Am I right?

Call receiving party has all rights to know who is calling them. or can search the number later to know who was it.

If you are calling someone or someone is calling you them its just a matter of picking the call. Then both of you will know each other's name. So true caller is just giving you that information few seconds earlier. And if its that big of privacy concern then uninstall it. Check truecaller settings. You can disable phone book upload from there. And its not that big of privacy issue. If you want to know other's details then be ready to give up yours. It works both ways. You can't just have everyone's info and not give yours.

let me again explain you why its not such a big deal.
suppose you have my number in your phonebook. truecaller picks up my details from your phonebook. now it useless to htem at thye moment.
but when i will call someone who has truecaller (i am calling him/her that means chances are they already know my name and if they don't then they will know after they answer the call and i introduce myself. ) they will be able to see my name before they answer the call.
but if they stop using your, mine and everyone's phonebook then it will be useless app. it will have no purpose or use.
