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
This may be totally irrelevant to the thread, not sure where else to put it.
It started on 3/11/14, I got a phone call from an 813-408-???? number. A boston sounding man pretending to be from a local pizza joint, saying I ordered 3 pizzas and my card I gave was declined and needed a new card. I figured it was a scam to take my info because I (and no one in my household) had ever ordered from this place). The man sounded scripted, pre-recorded or perhaps a mobile app just messing with me. Anytime I spoke, his speaking stopped and it/he wouldn't answer me when I spoke. I hung up, after a few minutes, I called back. I didn't get an answer both times I called back, just a man's voicemail for his home business.
Later, I got a call from another 813-408-???? number, but different from the first. It was a man claiming I was messaging his girlfriend on Facebook. His responses also sounded scripted or like recordings from an app. I assumed it was another prank, so I said little and hungup. I immediately called the number back and the man sounded confused and swore he didn't call me.
I thought these calls were weird because my number is also an 813-408-????.
Later in the same day, I was playing xbox with a friend of mine. My phone rang from his number, but he swore he wasn't calling me. Just after that, his phone rang from my number, but my phone wasn't calling him.
The next day, 03/12/14, I got a call from the same friend. The phone showed his name and correct number (i have it memorized). I answered and it was a female voice, claiming I was talking to her boyfriend on Facebook. Her voice ALSO seeming scripted or recorded. My buddy wasn't even near his phone, he was playing softball and swore he wasn't doing anything.
Not sure what I need to do to get this to stop. Don't know if changing my number will help or not and would prefer not to do that.
If it matters: I am running Cyanogenmod 11, up-to-date nightly's. I've been on Cyanogenmod as long as it's been available for the Nexus 5. It's a black 16GB US model and i'm on AT&T. I've never had anything like this happen before.
Faster version: I got a weird call from an unknown number from a recording or app. A second weird call from a different number comes in, same weird recording conversation and scripting. Illegitimate calls to and from my phone occur. Illegitimate call from a friend's phone that he didn't send. I have no problem sending or receiving calls or texts, nothing else seems to be off. I'm on CM11 3/12/14 nightly.
Any ideas?
Do you have a common friend between you and your other friends? Somebody is messing with you. And must be close enough to know y'all numbers. It's very easy to spoof a number to make it seem like somebody else is calling.
Also take note that many area codes like 419 817 737 ect....will get all your info within 3 secs if its a hacker lol. There's a huge list online just Google it. Hope that helps out. If not then get Mr. Number. You can block all numbers and voicemails texts.....except your contacts list

I'm betting someone is playing a real crappy prank on you. A friend of mine showed me this app one time that would allow you to enter any "from" number of your choosing with a pre-recorded prank attached. Basically the app would prank call whoever you chose with the fake or made up number showing up in the caller ID. When the call comes in, it sounds super convincing, down to the voice of the guy who's threatening to kick your butt for messing with his girlfriend. What you don't know, is that app is also recording your voice responses so whoever is pranking you gets to hear a recording of the entire call, similar to a phone prank done by a radio station. I would just listen for the familiar details and just hang up when you realize its the prankster. They'll give up eventually and if they know you will probably come clean at some point.
It's not a prank. It's scammy phishing robo-calls. I get them infrequently. Typically the "you have won a free cruise" baloney. However the pizza call is another known angle. For me it's usually one of 3 numbers. A 1 877 number, a random US number and a number that is almost identical to my own phone number.
Just get a blocking app or don't answer the call if you don't recognise the number. If it is a valid call, the caller will leave you a voicemail detailing why they were legitimately calling you in the first place. The robocall will just disconnect once it hits your voicemail.
Sorry, I should update that the above was in regards to the pizza call. The Facebook call is a prank - just search "Don't Message My Girlfriend".
I'm in the UK but when I Skype my wife in LA its a local LA number. Freaked her first time. You got no idea where calls come from these days. I use a call block. Robot call centers after ambulance chasing buisness etc are big here. Not your phone, or rom and don't let it rent space in your head. Block n move on

If it's anything like the uk if you read the small print of your contact (especially if it's like a retail shop - carphone warehouse, phones4u etc over here) it actually says we will give your number out to these annoying marketing company's and there's nothing you can do about it if you want the contract!! (which is why their contacts are normally better than direct from the provider)

Well, I can tell the calls I received were all similar sounding in their responses, so I did hang up. I figured it was a prank app or something along those lines. I just ended up hanging up the call. I can block the numbers I have gotten, I'm just getting a lot of them.
I guess I just have to rely on a voicemail from a legitimate caller.
Thanks for all the insight.
I received a call while I was working, I could not answer. I could not answer because I was busy working. I didnt want to answer because I did not know the number. Not being able to answer, the caller left a voicemail. Which turned out to be a blessing in disguise because Im still able to listen to it via voicemail. If I were to have answered I would have thought someone butt dialed me and thought nothing of it and hung up. But after listening to it, I realized that it was my voice and hers.
At first I thought maybe my girlfriends apartment was bugged for whatever reason. The people shes renting from are very reputable. So we went and checked everywhere. Nothing. However, I thought to myself how would they get MY phone number if it is not affiliated in any way to her apartment or where she lives.
So that leads me to think that something may be on my phone. I have since factory reset my phone. The crazy thing about this whole situation is that the conversation that was recorded was from TWO DAYS ago. Who has my number? How are they able to record me? Do I just wait to see if I receive another call? I wont be putting any sensitive information on the device for fear of it being compromised. If I do get another call, Ive already decided Im destroying this one and buying another phone.
I never opened any weird emails. Never downloaded any weird apps. Never opened any links in any received texts. Im on Android 10 on a One Plus 7.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
here's a possibility - you and your girlfriend were talking and then you butt-dialed someone and it went to their voicemail. That person decided to call you and playback the voicemail. Look in your call log for an outgoing call that you don't recognise at the time of your conversation with your gf.

I hadnt thought of that, I checked the records, and there was no butt dial. I called the number that called me and it said it was no longer in service. Looking at the records on my cell providers site and there was no record of that number ever calling me. Which leads me to believe it was spoofed.
I there
When in on a phonecall, it happen a few times that the person I'm taking with is "calling" me, the phone is ringing likes a second call and it seems that when i answer, the line doesn't really flip, or at least, the call is continuing. It happen with 3 different persons which aren't on the same phone company
I updated my p3 to Android 11, is never happen before
Anyone experiencing this?
I searched a lot to find a forum for this topic I couldn't find one so here it goes.
I live in Canada and I received 5 or more calls from this number (716-895-3300) .. it is a Buffalo, NY number and it is a medical facility fax number or something from what I found out in my search. I received 5 calls within half an hour from this. Every time it would leave a voice message and the voice message is silent except some beeping noises. I didn't answer the call even though I was tempted but I made a big mistake. I accidentally called it... I was trying to call my voice message number but my finger hit this number and it went on until my phone vibrated(meaning probably that call went through) and then I hang up. After calling this number the calls stopped. Again suspicious.
So my question is... can you get hacked if you call a suspicious number like this?
I changed my banking app password but didn't change my multiple email address passwords.... too lazy. So can you get hacked if you call a suspicious number and the call goes through and just when they are about to pick up you hang up?
What makes you think you been hacked?
It may be true that your device was compromised, but not from those calls.
I don't think that your mobile phone will get hacked if you just call a suspicious number.
Probably ok for such a short time frame call...
