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 XDAians !,
I am using Samsung Galaxy S2 Gt-I9100 with JB4.1.2 and BUILD:JZO54K.I9100XWLST. I have rooted my phone. Whenever i receive an incoming call or make an outgoing call, after that i get a unknown number outgoing entry in my call Log with 5 Minsduration or 300Mins duration show up. What might be the issue.
I am using exdialer app.
Kindly give me your valuable inputs to resolve the issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Kriish
Are you getting charged for those calls? (Check your phone bill.) If so you may well have some malware on your phone in which case I'd highly recommend doing a full wipe and clean reinstall (without restoring your apps using something like Titanium Backup since that might simply restore the malware too.)

Thanks psyoptix, sorry for the very late reply
Is it solved ?
I have the same issue on all the outgoing calls with a custom rom CM12 on i9100.
All the outgoing calls are marked as "unknown". It's very boring. I wiped and flashed with the latest nightly build but I still have the issue.
Dear All,
I'm using one plus 6t with Android version 9 and the new Android version does not display the call waiting notification. My issue is this, suppose I'm calling to
person A and the A is in another call with person B so I want that my phone is notifying me that A is in a call with B. When my caller is in another call my previous Android device (one plus 5t) notified me that the call is waiting. Why it is missing with new Android versions?
This is a very important feature and if we call some one several times without knowing that he is in another call he is getting disturbed with our call. This feature is also unavilble in Apple devices and now with new Android devices. So what is the difference in Apple and Android then ? Please help
Thanks

Hello,
I am having a problem with incoming call interface of stock android oreo. I'm new to XDA, i heard, here are great Android developers who can solve almost anything with android. I've Nokia 5.1 Plus device which is based on android one.
I usually keep phone in my front pocket of shirt. As the incoming call interface of Stock Oreo, if you swipe down anywhere on screen, it'll reject the call. So when i pick up the phone from front pocket, sometimes it got swiped down and reject the call! (Idk why this happen only to me ).
So i wanted to know is there any solution to change the incoming call interface? I do not want to install custom rom, because it will destroy warranty. I tried some apps from playstore (like i call slide etc) which change interface to swipe right to answer. But idk Android kill this app sometime and it shows old Oreo incoming call screen! Can anyone help me with this problem with permanent solution. I heard about substratum which let us allow to use themes without root, does these themes also change the incoming call interface?
Thanks in advance,
Hello

i don't want to lose warranty, security, know or frp.

I prefer to use Bixby to answer spam calls. This is one of the best features that Samsung has backed into One UI.

Can. You elaborate how please?
You can go into the phone and choose the hamburger option on it and choose Bixby text call.

It will be interesting to see comparison between Google Screen Call vs Bixby in action. Since I switched to Pixel 7 Pro and using Screen Call and so spam calls are less now. I hade before like about 12 calls per month now I have maybe one call per month. So on unknown numbers I use Screen call.

I don't think they really compare. On the Pixel the screener works automatically. On the Galaxy, you have to select it each time a call comes in. It's not very convenient to use at all because of it requiring input on each call. Until they make it work automatically, it won't compare to the Pixel's implementation. Also, for some reason, it doesn't work when you're on wifi calling.
