Force number pad in phone app?

Is there a way to have the numeric keypad show up during all phone calls? right now it only shows up when i call voice mail. I know I can hit the "keypad button" to have it come up, but this is a step I'd rather not have to take. I do a lot of conference calls from my phone and having the number pad would be far more convenient than the 6 options that I have showing now. My guess was that somehow the phone knows when i am calling voicemail and that's why it keeps the numbers showing...i was hoping there was a way to trick the phone into thinking that all of my calls were to voicemail...
anybody have a clue?
Thanks,
Jason

why ringtones only ringing for 17 secconds

no matter what ringtones i use they only ring for 17 seconds is there a setting or way to alter this.
and how can i silence an incoming call. id like the option to answer the call or press a silence button so the other caller still
thinks the call is ringing and that the call has not just been rejected.
thanks

Sounds like your calls get diverted to voicemail after 20 seconds (takes approx 3 seconds for the phone to ring on an incomming call). Setting your divert can be network dependant, but if you go into phone settings, there is an option called "divert" which yoy can change. Be warned - if on vodafone or other similar networks, the network handles the call diversion. However if you change this, you may be charged for the phone diverting calls to voice mail.
To mute the phone on incomming call, simply turn the phone face down on the desk. This should mute the ringer. If this does not work, you need to install HD Tweek or similar to set this option.

yes mate your right my phone does get divertd to voicemail but i was getting 29 seconds i think it was on my nokia n95 when that was set to divert. on orange you cant set divert on or of by the phone you have to ring the network but cancel divert.
as for the silence calls on flip if i have the phone in my pocket and someone calls the flip does not work as i have no surface to lay it flt on i just tried it .
so if anyone else has no solution the only thing i can think of is
1 cancel call divert with my network and hope there is a third party software that can manage my voice mail . any recommendations ?
2 any recommendations of any software to silence calls by press of a button ?
thanks

ok i managed to get the ringtone to ring longer before it goes to voicemail .
the settings for that are acually in the phone ardsar says but how can i get the
phone to silince callls without turning the phone over .
im looking for a press of a button method.
thanks

Press one of the volume buttons when your phone is ringing

blimey so easy eh when you know how .
cheers mate appreciated

or you can dial this number
**61*insert your voicemail number here*11*30#
if you then hit the call button and enter this your phone will ring for 30 seconds before going to voice mail.
cheers

Double beep before making outgoing call

I recently rooted and installed the Bi-Winning V2 rom for my vibrant. One thing I've noticed is SOMETIMES (quite often, but not every time) when I dial a number to make a call, ill hear a quick 2 beep notification and then the call starts ringing normally. What is this double beep??? I am not using any *67 or other *codes when dialing.

I get the same too. I think it has something to do with call confirmation. Beeps when your call went through successfully...i think

You can turn that off in call settings.

Go into settings, then "call settings"->"All calls"->"Call status tones" and unselect "Call connect tone".

Activating S Voice with bluetooth while screen is locked

Previously on my S2, I can not activate voice dialing with my BT headset while my screen is locked with anything other than a simple swipe. For example, I use pattern lock. Whenever the phone is locked, pressing the button on my BT headset does nothing. When the screen is unlocked, it brings up the voice dialing feature whether it is S voice on the note 2 or vlingo on the S2.
So whenever I am out fishing or driving and wants to make a quick call using voice dialing while the phone is in my pocket or in a waterproof case, I can't do it without unlocking the phone first by drawing my pattern. That is a real PITA so often, I do not lock the phone except with a simple swipe which has zero security.
Solution:
Tap the green phone app, select call settings, Accessory settings for call, look under BT headset settings for outgoing calls, enable Make calls even when device locked.
Now using my LG stereo bluetooth headset, I still can't directly access the S voice when the screen is locked. But, I can long press the call button(on my BT headset) and then it will dial the last number called. Then I quickly hang up, lightly press the call button(on my BT headset), and then S voice will be enabled and I can say "Call David Mobile or play music, etc).
Try it on your phone and BT headset and let me know if you can access S voice directly while the screen is pattern locked. I would have to quickly dial the last number first and quickly hangup in order for S voice to wake up behind the locked screen.
