I'd like to bring again into attention this lack of functionality of both Android and WinMo devices.
As far as I know, with the exception of Nokia and some Sony-Ericson devices, no others notify about receiving a call made on a diverted phone.
That is, if I have 2 numbers (A and B) and A is diverted to B, if I receive a call on A I don't see a "diverted" icon (or sign of any kind) on the phone with number B.
Still no solution or software for this?
P.S. Also when you call somebody and you are waiting on line (the other party has "call waiting" activated), there is no "waiting" sign to notify you.
This call waiting issue is also present on iPhone. I don't understand why these two functions are not present in smartphones (except Nokia Symbian) and at the same time the cheapest dumb phones have them
Actually, call waiting works for me. Whenever I am on a call and someone else calls, I hear a beep and I can see on the screen that I have another call. If I don't answer, the other call stays in my call history as an unanswered call.
About the first issue, I wondered about that too. I had a really dumb Sony Ericsson phone which supported this feature.
P.S. I misread your call waiting issue... Whenever I call someone who has call waiting I get a beep that tells me I am waiting... However, as far as I know this is an operator feature. On another operator a voice actually tells you to wait because the other party is talking.

I didn't switch to another operator, I just switched from Nokia E66 to iPhone and later to Legend when I lost that feature.
i get another issu too !!
and am sure you all get it ..
in (smart) dumb phones when i call my manager (and my manager is already talking in a call with his wife for example) it gives me different call sound tone, to notify me he is in a call so i stop calling and wait to call again later ...
in (stupid) smart phones, Windows Mobile and Legend !
if i call my manager and he is already in a call, i never hear anything to notify me! so i dont stop my call , and it really seems so stupid and disturbing from me sometimes !
the reason is what ?
i dont really know ....
is it that much hard to put these simple options ?

... suggests that the functionality is within the stock Android dialler, but not in the HTC dialler. Use a ROM that allows you to install the standard dialler and use that by default?

I was talking about "call waiting" notification when you are calling someone that has call waiting function, not when you are the one that is called and you're notified about a second incoming call. biomy explained better the idea that I was talking about.
And no, there is not about the operator. You can have a nokia on any carrier, it'll work the same. It's just the way the phone or it's software decodes the incoming call signal. As this is received by all phones the same, I presume any phone/software can decode it in the same way nokia is doing if it has this implemented. As far as I know though, there is no application on the market (paid or free) that does this simple thing. I'm sure most of us will even pay for it.
Same here.. All calls from my boss diverted to my number if he didn`t pick up phone in 10 seconds.. My old Nokia 6233 show green arrow for diverted calls, but no any notification about it with my Samsug Galaxy Spica and Samsung Galaxy S.

Any updates on this please?
I have the same issue. No diverted call icon when an incoming call which has been diverted comes through
No update...seems like nobody has found a solution to it. Still waiting, pity we don't have such thing
Maybe we're not so many that needs this, in order for someone to start looking and develop something. My hope is that a developer will need this feature at some time and he'll start doing it. (or we should find a Nokia with Android )
If some android phones have the diverted call notification (galaxy s on 2.1) can the code be ported to other devices?
I divert calls from my work phone to my personal mobile, and really need to be able to tell when I'm receiving a diverted call from my work number
Samsung is the second phone brand that includes this in all or most of their phones. Doesn't matter if it's Android or not, Nokia and Samsung has this feature (and as I know they're the only ones to do it).
Maybe there is hope if an Samsung Android phone (Galaxy S) has it...maybe there will be a developer that will try to find a way or reverse engineer the ROM to find the code for it. I am willing to pay for it for sure and I'm sure some other will as well.
Diverted Call Display app for Android
After the issue bothered me enough, I have made an attempt at detecting incoming diverted calls.
The app is using the device log to find out if an incoming call is diverted, and thus needs READ_LOGS permission. READ_PHONE_STATE is needed to get notified about incoming calls.
So far the app has been tested on CyanogenMod 5 and 7 on GSM/UMTS phones. It probably won't work at all on CDMA devices and neither on devices which already implement any type of diverted call notification.
Please test if it works for you and tell me your Android firmware version (and if it's an AOSP-based community firmware).
Nexus S 3G i9023, CM7.1.0-NS - works well )) Thank you.
Xperia Arc 2.3.4 original rom OK.
I would like to be saved in the call log.
It works perfect in HD2, HyperDroid-CM7-v5.3.0 [CyanogenMod7 LEO 2.3.7][seader_R9].
Thanks
That's a great thing, you've made...alot of people happy.
Unfortunately, I've changed my Legend and replaced it with a Desire S. Playing with other ROMs, I've finally installed a MIUI ROM and it seems this "diverted notification" IS integrated in MIUI. So for me the problem was solved by having a MIUI ROM. Though I'll ask my friend who's now the owner of my ex Legend to test this...he's still using CM 7.1 on it.
Works fine on Motorola Defy with MIUI 2.3.5.
Thank You very much Ge0rG for such a beautiful solution of that problem.
Can you please add to your application notification for "call waiting" and "on hold"?
Because Motorola's and HTC's doesnt have this features.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
P.S. I was talking about "call waiting" notification, when you are calling someone that has call waiting function & you call him on the second line.
Brilliant... Works a treat for me...
HTC Desire HD - Stock (Orange UK) ROM.
Android 2.3.3
Kernel 2.6.55.10
Thanks - brilliant idea and well implemented - congratulations.

Works on Nexus One with actual cyanogenmod nightly (cm_passion_full-253, 7.2.0-RC0(?)). Perfekt!
It will be great, if this could be included in cyanogenmod directly.
Hello guys i have problem. When people call me they say that i don't pick up the phone,but actually i don't have incoming call at that moment when they call me.

Restart helps this problem,but actually i don't know even when this bug appears to reboot the phone. i have 2.3.4 version at&t unlocked atrix. can you help me with solution? thanks in advance
Hello
I'm not being notified if I call someone and they're on the phone. I should be receiving a call waiting notice, anyone know how to turn this on please
I have a Galaxy SII
2.3.4
Thank You
Go into the dialer and depending on the rom it will be somewhere in the settings. Mine's in dialer/settings/settings/incoming call status/call waiting.
And frankly, this is pretty basic. You should be able to find something like this by going thru every setting on your phone. I know that's the first thing I do when I get a new phone :-/

i have done the setting which you have mention but still when i call someone on there cell phone, it should come up with " Call waiting" meaning that the person is already on the phone who i am calling
Hepe i explained it right
Thank you
Hang on. If you call someone who's already on a call, you should get an engaged signal and probably number busy or similar on the screen. That has nothing to do with call waiting, call waiting happens when you're on a call and a 2nd person tries to call you. You should get a beep or similar to tell you there's a 2nd call for you.
If you call someone who's already on a call, you should get an engaged signal and probably number busy or go to there voice message if there don't have call waiting setup.
If there have call waiting setup then you should see on your screen "waiting"
Sorry
I think this is a service provider thing. It works on Vodafone but i am T-mobile
Anyone has any thing before i call t-mobile

is theres a way i can silent the sound when u r on ur phone and theres a 2nd call it makes a sound... how can i mute that annoying thing
Probably settings, call, call alerts, alerts on call, none.
Or turn off call waiting, since you won't know there's a call waiting anyway.
thanks what happen is that when im talkin to someone and theres a 2nd caller the 1st person heard the beep of the 2nd call and thats plain annoying
But that's the whole point of call waiting, to notify you someone is trying to call you. Lol

hahha hillarious let me refrase u know when u receive a call and u hit the volume and it mute the ringtone well i want that but for my 2nd call waiting that aint happenin when im in a call and i receive another it just keep beeping till the person hang up and the person that im talking heard the beep too something that aint good with the gf
there has to be a way to mute rigth after the first beep or something
Only you (as receiver of the second call) should be notify of the 2nd call.
But very often the person you are speaking with hears beeps too.
exactly is annoying im now on criskelo 4.0.3 xxlpq and it does exactly what i want only i heard the beeps props for criskelo
I want to know if there is an app or any other way to block all incoming calls on my HTC Desire V phone. (Rooted and stock ROM)
My requirement is to block only "Incoming" calls from a list of pre-selected numbers but I would like to allow everything other then incoming calls.
I am using my phone's default way to reject all calls, but any time someone calls they hear a small ring and then operator message saying
"The Number You Have Called Is Busy...", So the caller understands that I am rejecting the call and expects a call back.
If the message after rejecting a call is like "Switch Off" or something else I am fine.
If somebody can help with "Incoming Call Barring" that will be great, because I spoke with my operator regarding incoming calls barring password but I was told that it is phone feature so I needed to contact handset manufacturer for this and I got the same answer from HTC that it is a network feature so I need to contact service provider.
Please Help.

Will give it a try... But I doubt it will fill my expectations...
As I don't want get charged for VMB services...
Anyways thanks for the suggestion...

Try doing a quick search in google play like: Call blocker
You should find some apps, would do it myself now but i'm in a bit of a hurry
Tried such kind of call rejecting apps from play... They just simply reject the call after a small ring; hence operator message is heared by caller saying no. is busy...
