For the Oppo Find N, does anyone find the Call Settings sub-menus like Call Forwarding to load super slow? Not sure if that is a problem specific on my mobile.

Can anyone please advise on setting my Himalaya as a pager(through SMS)??? Can't seem to find any posts on this specific topic. Thanks in advance for the help
Interesting.. how do you suppose to do that? Disable your ability to receive phone call? But still able to receive SMS?
Hmmm.. interesting.. maybe you can do
(1) Make your ring tone silent (e.g. use a silent WAV as ring tone) but put a loud and long WAV for your SMS.
(2) Use the divert call feature, Setting -> Phone -> Services -> Call forwarding. Check "Forward all incoming phone call to", and put in a fake number. So, when anyone tries to call you, they will be diverted into the fake number. (e.g. for girls whom are getting irritating calls, you can use this method). However, you still have your SMS working.
Another option (not every phone has this, but WM5 seems to have) would be Setting -> Phone -> Services -> Call Barring -> Block Incoming calls.
Better test your thing before really using it (e.g. try SMS it). Haven't try these technique yet.
Anyway, pity that this phone is being used as a pager though. It is like buying a refrigerator use it as a cupboard.
pager
I probably phrased my question poorly. I wanted to be able to receive a page as an SMS message . I meant to do that in addition to the phone/email connections. Didn't mean to suggest to disable the phone at all. Thanks
You'll be needing an app on this page http://sharewareconnection.com/titles/alpha-paging.htm
SNPP protocol is available on the GSM band naturally, but you will need special session/application software for compiling data for use on the protocol.
I doubt you can do that. Firstly, you will need a station/provider to have a paging service, so you will have a page station for people to call to, you also need them (provider) to send you the signal. And, I'm pretty sure that you can't just accept any pager signal easily with a standard consumer devices and some cool software (esp that you still want the phone feature) as there are security features built into the page signal for better data transfer efficiency and privacy.
I think you will be carryign a pager for a while
Hey guys, I put this over in the regular titan forums, but I wasn't sure where it belonged.
I am wondering if there is any way to send all incoming calls to voicemail when I am using PDAnet to get online. I know there is a PDAnet setting to "allow calls when connected" but even if I uncheck this, calls still come through and discconect my internet.
The reason I'm posting this here is because if something specific to PDAnet isn't available, or possible, is there anything that I can do to the phone to not have incoming calls disconnect my internet connection? I had a Motorola Q for a little while, and there is a "bug" that actually does this automatically (sends call to voicemail while on EVDO). It was a setting in the DEBUG menu, in the field test option, called DDTM, and it was by default on (I think), and so people had to change that to off (could be switched) to allow incoming calls. It was perfect for me though. Now, I think I tried looking for a DDTM setting in the mogul and I had found it a while back, but I dont think it did anything with regard to my situation. So my questions are:
Is there anything with PDAnet that I can do besides the setting I talked about? Registry or something...?
If nothing with PDAnet, then does anyone know how to change the DDTM setting on a mogul? I got into the DEBUG menu (##33284#) and I didnt find any DDTM setting there.
Besides the DDTM setting (since it hasn't worked for me in the past) is there any other method you guys can think of that will do what I want?
Thanks!!
Call Filter
Yes there is There is a program called, Call Filter. you should be able to google it an find it.
SPB Phone Suite can also filter calls.
My understanding of call filter programs is that they screen the calls once they come to the phone and then prevent the phone from ringing. I would imagine this would still disconnect my internet services. I messed around a little with SPB phone suite, and I have nexvisions rom, which comes with Call SMS blocker (it has a call filter option). With SPB phone suite with the filter enabled, I couldn't even connect via PDAnet, it gave me an error 619 or something. With the Call SMS blocker, the program didn't block my incoming call at all, so that's more the program's fault. But am I mistaken in thinking that a call filter program would not work for my needs?
You don't need those programs to do it. Go to phone setting > Mode of Operation > change to EVDO only. This will automatically block all incoming/outgoing calls.
PS you might have to edit your registry if Mode of operation doesnt show.
I believe DCD's clean rom has it on his rom.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes it does.
That does seem to work for my last option. But I cant receive any calls at all when in this mode, so I guess I would have to manually change this each time . Is there any way this entry can be automatically changed somehow with a script or a registry change? Also, this wouldn't work in areas without EVDO right? Since I'm disabling 1x, it would seem like it. So no software solution for this eh? Wierd how the glitch with the Q was perfect for me...
You are stuck with the manual fix tbh.
I have nexus s with stock android 4.0. when i make a call, i always get a popup where i have to choose mobil or internet calling. se picture below. how can i remove this ??
set it to default .....
what and where can i set to default ?
IF you can select a default action it will be in settings (don't know exactly where) but if this bother you try deleting the internet calling service? This can simply be removed from the settings menu.
hope this helps a bit.
I'm not sure if that popup was asking you to choose a particular internet calling account or if it was asking if you want to dial over the phone network/with internet dialing. I'll try to explain both though...
The default way to call should be under the settings for the phone app, under the Internet Calling section (near the bottom). There you can control whether the phone asks you if you want to do internet dialing or not.
As for making it automatically choose a certain Internet Dialing account, see if checking Set As Primary Account under the Internet Calling/Account part of the Phone Settings does anything to improve things.
If it doesn't work to your liking, I strongly recommend abandoning the built in SIP support and using cSipSimple. With cSipSimple, you can set filters that trigger when a dialed number matches a certain pattern. For example, you could have Internet Dialing with Sip-Provider-1 kick in automatically if you dial a number with a long distance area code.
If you decide to go this route and need a hand, let me know.

YESSSS!! its gone. thanks for all your help and tips
It was just brought to my the family that the one x plus we use for the home phone doesn't work when trying to navigate through automated phone recordings. I've looked through the settings in dialer, but didn't see anything. Anyone else have this problem?, or know a setting I should change?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 from Verizon (Lollipop). I was able to use alternate dialers up until recently, when I activated Verizon's new "Advanced Calling 1.0" feature.
Advanced Calling is Verizon's name for VoLTE (voice-over-LTE), which is supposed to provide clearer calls by using data for calls. They're rolling this out slowly and you have to opt-in, then reboot your phone. See some info here: verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/advanced-calling.html
Ever since I activated this, my phone seems to force me to use the original dialer. I think this is because the Advanced Calling feature won't work with other dialers.
Once I learned this, I deactivated Advanced Calling. It only works if both phones have it anyway, and since almost no one has this yet, and I would rather use my own dialer, it wasn't worth the trouble.
However, even after deactivating Advanced Calling, my phone still won't let me choose a different dialer. I've rebooted and cleared all defaults, but my phone still won't even pop up the default chooser screen for calls. I can start another dialer manually, but after dialing or touching a contact name, the original stock dialer then opens to complete the call.
Assuming you've actually read this far, any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
