Please don't show me the Last Name I dialed !!!

Is it only me but I wish to keep the last call private but the XDA insists on showing it in big bold type on the phone panel with some ambarrasing consequences. How do I disable that feature.

I cant think of any scenario that would be a problem but if it because of secrets then get another phone and use that one for the calls you dont want anybody to see, personally my phone stays in my pocket when it isnt being used, if I did have something in there I didnt want anybody to see I wouldnt hand my phone to anybody else to give them the opportunity.

Thank U CT but u will appreciate the Q is a techinical one not a moral one.

I am not moralising, I was offering a solution to your problem.

With respect, CT, u offered a behavoural solution not a technical one. I expect there are others on 'xda-developers' that may proffer a technical solution. Thank you, nontheless.

If you go to settings/phone and enable "require pin", the only thing you see on the phone page is "enter pin".

hi

Call Filter

I had a Palm software phone (Treo 600) before my current MDA Compact and the Palm had two programs that i cannot seem to find for this PocketPC, can anyone suggest a program
1/ a Call filter, one that does not pass the calls onto the voicemail a filter that will pick up and drop. The Parm one when you had a blocked call it sounded to the caller that they had been cut off, i have been given SmartFilter but you just end up with lots of voice messages.
2/ Was a SMS response program once set if you recieved a text it would make no sound but would send a reply with a message you had set.
as said two usefull program that i cannot find for PocketPC, have i missed then if so can anyone please tell me the names.
Better still PM to me
thank you

I have tried that program and it looks very good but is restricted to only 10 numbers from your contact list. I will keep my eye on this program but as said so far it looks very good.

I have a copy of Smartphone and yes it is good except if anyone calls you and they are blocked it goes straight to the voicemail. So i ended up with voicemails, i think a really good call filter should except the call (silently) and just hang up. Smartphone is good but could be better if it picked up and dropped the unwanted calls instead of pointing them to voicemail.

not quite true
it takes it's divert from the phone 'busy' setting.... I think the default is voicemail on busy, but in the phone settings, you can specify another number other than voicemail... I put in my office number....go to the phone application and then the 'call divertl settings
not sure what you mean by pickup and hangup....sounds a bit rude really to the poor caller!

I don't get what you want?
You want the phone to receive a call, and then just hang it up?

What i am after is simple, work ring me weekends and using Smart Filter i end up with a load of vorce mails i dont want that. Now Call Filter when you choise a number to ignore just hangs up No Call and No Voice Mails - Great. I will be glad when he has finished the program as its grippled to only 0 numbers from your phone book at the moment.

Is it possible to trigger based on incoming caller ID

I am looking for an app that lets me do stuff when certain incoming numbers (either a simple editable list or a selection of contacts) call..... essentially I want the phone to answer and then hang up immediately so the numbers don't get my voicemail, they just get rejected.
At the moment I have the contacts set with a silent ringtone so I don't get disturbed, but sometimes I get voicemails from them and I want to prevent these.
I have had a look at Mortscript and can find how to handle incoming calls, just not how to handle incoming calls from specific contacts in specific ways.
Any help appreciated

go to www.youmail.com
i like this free service and it handles caller id calls more efficiantly than any software you can purchase.

Thanks for the link, unfortunately it's US only and I'm in the UK.

CallFirewall does exactly that what you need.

Try this:
http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html
It does everything you asked, and a whole lot more.

+1 for magicall... it rocks

Thanks for the links guys, downloading them both now

Call Firewall didn't quite do the trick as I could only get it to go to voicemail, but Magicall does 100% what I want, plus more, so I promptly coughed up the cash for it

Somewhere else on the forum there's a program what lets you make your own interface in html with js/flash. you can use that and make javascript countdown for x seconds and than let it pick up and hang up... or whatever you want not the best solution but it still is a solution

[REQ] Calls allowed from contacts only

Hi,
I had the LG Shine, and it had this very nice feature where I could allow only my contacts to call me. Any unknown number not in my contacts would get sent straight to the voicemail.
I miss that application in my HTC Diamond (running MSR1.5) on TELUS. Is there an app out there that currently does this or does WinMo support it and it's hidden, and if no to both the questions, can someone make something like this please?
Thanks!

It's not free but SBP Mobile Suite can do this.

its actually very easy application to write... im sure someone here can do this for you or if you have and programming skills, just googling some will let you know how to get started. You need to add a phonemonitoring event and then just:
object callerId = SystemState.GetValue(SystemProperty.PhoneIncomingCallerContact);
if (callerId == null)
{
reject call...
}

If you know any of the numbers you don't want to call you, you can use my CallBlocker utility, you'll find it in my signature under "3 Diamond Apps".
This will let you define a txt file containing all numbers to block, nice in norway where there is a directory keeping record of all known telemarketeers

Sounds perfect, except maintaining a black list is a good add-on to what I need rather than having it as the main gig.
I get phone calls from all over the US (business related) on my cellphone, and I hate that. So, unless I know someone and have their contact info entered in my phone, I do not want to talk to them.
Same goes for random telemarketing calls too, lol

The 3 things I dislike on my SGS2 coming from 3 Years of HTC

Sorry for this rant but I am finding it more difficult to live with these Issues everyday..
1. The call history list all calls (dialed, missed, received) and Messages as well! this is annoying, I dont want to see my message history in my call log, and there is no way to hide it except to view by just one call category, Dialed, missed or received.
2. Dialing a contact by name from the phone key pad, I can only search by the First name and not by second name, On my htc Desire/HD I could very well search by any of the names listed for a contact but unable to do so on this phone, this is really annoying as well.
3. Pull down notification bar would not work in the middle of a call unless I go to the home screen.. not cool.
If anyone knows a work around or other roms that addresses these issue please feel free to recommend.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for this , definitely prefer this to stock dailer ...

Try "Dialer One" from the market, it works very similar to the htc desire. And is very customable.
