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 ?
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11026
... 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.
Hi I hope someone can help me with thi one.....
I'm out of USA right now for matter of work, I unlock my Thunderbolt for use it here but I have now some odd errors around..once I updated to Build 2.11.605.5
Mainly is.... I can receive calls and SMS with out any problem, BUT if I want to make a call the phone freezes on dialing and the upper notification bar starts to blink in green (like it was on a call) but nothing happens and I can't hang I need to restart my phone in order to use it again.
I trie a lot of PRL's and carefully manually program any single option with QPST and every single PRL give me incoming calls/data/messages but can't make any call...
Also if I dial *611 the phone automatically dials 0019085594899 and hangs there in the calling freeze problem.
Any one knows something about this error or knows someone that suffer the same problem and found any solution?!
Thanks again for your valuable help!!!
I found this was because I update the Thunderbolt to 2.11.605.9 is there a way to solve this??
What Rom??

I can't hear any sound when I'm making outgoing calls or any incoming calls. When I dial the number, it works but no sound during the call. Sound is on.
I had Resurrection ICS custom rom. So, I removed everything. I unrooted my phone and installed the regular files using this tutorial. (stock phone)

But, I'm still getting no sound during my calls. Please help me. Tell me what else should I do?

Well since you found something on a site that isn't this one I'm afraid we can't give you much support

Lets not following anything from that site in the future and stick to what we have here.
Do you still have a custom recovery?
I had this problem before when I had a custom ROM which I downloaded it from this site. it was the Resurrection v2.3 ICS. The author told me to install CM9 kernal and I did. My phone went completely black screen after reboot so I had to reset everything and install the stock phone. I'm back to Android 2.3.4 unrooted and regular stock kernal.
But the problem is still happening.

Do not modify anything else in the future without reading.
I am using Sony Xperia Neo L with ported Paranoid CM9 rom with CM9 OC Gov Net kernel. I have used it for a few months until today, I can't receive phone calls but can still make phone calls. When somebody calls me, the phone will just vibrate for less than a second. I can see who is calling me in the call logs. There isn't a screen for me to answer the call: with a call icon which can be pulled left or right. The caller would just hear my neo L's voicemail greeting or like forwarding to another phone ( i know that because the beeping sound is different.) I have checked the forwarding setting already. Plz help!!!!
maybe a bad flash. reflash rom
Thanks

Do I need to wipe data (reset)??? I don't want to do that because i will loose all my apps and files. BTW, thanks.
you are using panaroid. maybe you messed up with some pixel density in it app. dont change phone app pixel density, dont change its UI to tablet or phablet.
Use phone apk as phone UI and default 160px.
Yep like rajx^^ said try reinstall
The rom n do a full wipe bro
Do you see the notification icon when a call arrives try tapping it.
I had this bug once.
Off topic : Did you really use this ROM for months or am I just seeing things

Data works on my phone and I can receive texts, i just can't send texts or make phone calls. I tried installing a new ROM to see if that was it, but it did not fix. It started while i was on the phone with someone yesterday out of nowhere and it still doesn't work.
Hmm, no calls.. That sounds more like a bigdaddy619 question.
You may want to RUU back to stock and see if it works. But I would wait for another opinion before doing that.
Thanks man, I appreciate you trying to help with both my problem =D
