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.
Hello,
I hope anyone could help me, since I am beginner when it comes to Atrix and Andoid, but let´s go:
I have bought a At&t Motorola Atrix 4G, Android 2.3.6, system version:4.5.141 mb860.att.en.us
Once I arrived to Brazil, inserted my SIMnseveral contacts, everything ok... but, when I receive a call, the calling number shows up on the display, but not the name of the inserted contact. So, it is showed the number, but not the name of the registered contact. The phone is not matching the calling number with my contacts.
I have already created a motoblur acount, restored the phone to factory settings a several times, but nothing seems to solve the problem.
Altough the phone is now in Brazil, its IMEI continues linked to At&t and my carrier says that this has nothing to do with this problem.
My carrier in Brazil is "Oi".
I hope someone could help me here.
Thanks in advance!
Have you tried saving the number as it appears on caller ID? I've had this happen with text messages and it's due to the way the carrier sends out the caller id; for example, instead of (123) 555-5555, the network pushes it out as +1235555555.
Caller ID is an carrier service and in this case is irrelevant. Your carrier is right in saying this has nothing to do with them. The phone shows up names associated with phone numbers based on your local phonebook only.
Your phone being "tied" to AT&T is irrelevant too, you're out of their reach now so they can't do anything even if they wanted to.
I should know, I'm happily using an AT&T device even though I'm halfway across the world.
What kind of format are you using for the phone numbers in your contacts? I'd recommend you use the standard international format, even if most of them are numbers local to your country. Standard international numbers are of format +<country code><area code><number>. So for my country it would be for example +3851xxxxxxx. So try changing some number in your contacts to that and then tell them to call you and see if it helps.
That's very strange, because I've used the At&T rom on my brazilian atriz without any issue whatsoever.
What could fix your issue is what our buddies said above: try setting the contacts with the International number format (+55 21 9999-9999). All of my contacts are like that on my phone and caller ID has worked fine across multiple ROMs.

Same thing, brazilian atrix, AT&T rom.
I keep all my contacts in the following format: '011 9999-9999' and it's worked with pretty much every ROM I've tried.

I used the followin formart: 021 xxx-xxx and worked. I was using "0xx21 xxx-xxxx" format and it was not working, despite my others "dumbphones".
thank you all"
I have a VZW i605 Note 2.
I am using AT&T service.
I have JellyBeans 21 ROM installed.
OK, on to the question...
When I receive a phone call the call back number is wrong. From what I have read it is an issue with non Verizon service or something.
If I were to get a call from 18147259951 it would show up as +8147259951 in my recent calls list, making it impossible for me to easily call them back from that screen.
Does anyone have any idea of how this could be fixed?
I know I can just install an international ROM and it will work, however then my GPS will not work. (I also really like JellyBeans)
This has been bugging me for some time now and I would greatly appriciate any assistance I can get.

any help will be great Thank you :fingers-crossed:
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
