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.
Hi... Got my one and it is amazing....
But I was aware of this issue - it is not in The One... but in Cyanogenmod
I have Galaxy Note N7000 and have put a lot of custom ROMs on it.
But any ROM that was based on Cyanogenmod.... I could never dial into a conference or an IVR
With any other ROM that was not Cyanogenmod based... it worked fine
e.g. try dialing to any of the banks IVR... when they ask you to press 1 to got to X... 2 to go to Y
Or try dialing to a conference bridge. When they ask for your passcode - even when I enter the correct passcode - it is picked as something else... If I enter 23234589... it is randomly picked as some number... 223349 or something.
Anyone else facing this issue.
Hi!
My wife own a Xperia go(ST27i)lotus
I tryed many different ROM and kernel, from stock JB (.100), to many cyanogenmod variant (JB and KK to)
All have a bug: after 2 or 3 days the phone freeze in phone calling: on incoming call can't pick up, on outgoing call freeze the screen, can't see the calling status, can't hear the other .
How can I solve this bug?
It is smart, but no phone...
Nobody can solve this bug?
Nobody can help me?
I have posted this in the Samsung galaxy S5 forum, but I am not seeming to have any luck. I have been searching for the answer for days.
I really like all CM based roms and I do not want to switch to another ROM. However, only on the CM mods, all of my incoming and outgoing calls show up as unknown in the caller ID. There is also an exclamation mark in the symbol that shows my service in the top right. I have changed the APN and when I turn on data, it works fine. My only issue is the "Unkown" calls
I live in Mongolia and all the numbers are 8 digits long. If I add the country code (+976) when I make an outgoing call, I can see the number. However, when people call me, it still shows as unknown. When using the stock rom or the MOAR rom, it works fine.
I use a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5 on lollipop.
I have searched everywhere, but I am not sure what to do. This is really a deal breaker, so please help me out.
EDIT: FYI when I use the stock rom or the MOAR custom rom, the calls show up and everything seems to work fine.
anyone?
Hi,
my dad brought me his i9100 with some strange problem.
Outgoing calls work fine - everybody can hear the other one
Incoming calls are completly silent - connections is on, timer is running but noone can hear each other.
Tests with different phones (Galaxy s7 edge, Wiko Rainbow Jam) and even my landline telephone - always the same problem
Happens with different firmwares
Now i am at Stock and it is still present.
Tried some 6.0.1, 5.1.1 and 4.4.4 Roms.

i really can't figure it out.
One flash went bad and deleted the IMEI but i fixed it with the EFS Backup but the problem was there before.
Has anyone a solution or idea?
Thanks guys
## edit
after talking to my provider they told me, that is some hardware problem in my area... so it's not phone related
