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.
I put a post up for this and it seems like no one replied. So I am wondering if anyone would be able to help me with this. I have it setup with sipbri it allows me to have my google voice account on sipbri and it lets me make calls but anytime I try to call all I get is my voice mail after it rings so many times. Am I doing something wrong or is it that the recieving calls part doesn't work right on Inferior Human Organs Cyanogen Mod 7.1?
Anybody? Well I actually got it working not sure what the issue was. I have a different rom it is CM7.1.0.1-VM670-BobZhome-111311 and it appears to be working fine. I just had to make a call on the internet call then after that I tried to call the number and I recieved it each time I called it. Seems like I have little to no delay either as people I talk to respond to me fine and can understand me fine.
Seems like I am missing the magical Google keywords to get this one sorted out, but let me explain what I want to do and then we can see if it's possible.
I am not a big minute user and mostly data. I picked up a Skype unlimited with an online number for those rare times during the year when I have to fix a long running issue at the datacenter and need the minutes.
Since I have a small bucket of voice minutes I would prefer things to go through Skype first and then ring through if I am unavailable. Right now I have it setup to dual forward to my Skype number and my mobile number. When Skype is running I get both calls coming in but both screens are popping up. I am looking for an integrated answer screen to let me decide which forwarded call to take.
Basically if I want Skype to be the primary incoming with my mobile as a secondary.
I did try forwarding to Skype and have Skype forward to my mobile and that almost worked. My mobile only rings one time before losing the call. On the plus side, Skype does get the call first and GV handles the voicemail.
Do I have too many moving parts going here or is something I can resolve with pbxes.com and sipdroid?
I've been scratching my head at this for a bit and it seems like there's a way to get this to work the way I want it to but I haven't quite put the pieces in the proper order - yet.
I installed textplus and it allows me to text from my NT and that is great.
I can also receive calls but here is my problem... I can't year anything on my NT and don't know how to fox that. The phone on the other end of the call can hear me talking in to my NT but I can not hear them. I tried to use headphones too. When I adjust the volume it looks like its off or blocked?
Same error onmine I have the fullversion and still no luck:'(

Mine is the exact opposite. I can hear the person on the line but they can't hear me... This is the problem others have had [there are a couple of threads here about TextPlus].
Has anyone noticed an issue with voice calls going directly to voice-mail if they come through at the same time as sending or receiving texts?
Background:
I have G-voice installed and running strictly as my voicemail service. This works out well for me as it will send me an email notification of a missed call whereas without it if I have no coverage and someone calls me I would never know about it.
I am a Firechief for an oil refinery and I use the phone as my fire call-out pager too. Its rather important that I get my calls.
I have noticed in the past that people would tell me they called but it went to my voicemail. After installing and using G-voice for voice mail, sure enough when they told me that, I would get a missed call notification from G-voice.
We use a call-out system called Send Word Now that will send me a voice call and a text message together when activated. Apparently is at exactly the same time because when I tested it I would only ever get the text mesage and a missed call notification.
My Question:
Has anyone else noticed this and figured out why? It would seem that with a 4G connection and all the data bandwidth available the phone should have no problem doing both. In fact, I can get plenty of text mesaages or incoming calls if I am already talking on the phone.
Just as an update to my own thread in case anyone searches this oddity. The messaging center today informed me that they know of the issue and ALL phones and providers will act the same way. As in, if you get an oncoming call at the same time you are sending or receiving a text the call will go straight to voicemail.
