Right chaps..... Orange UK user, WM6.
When I phone my uncle, if he's on a call (engaged) I used (with a nokia) to get a wee message saying "call waiting" (he's on orange too) But now it just rings and rings until I get his answer machine.
OFC he knows it's me, but if he's busy he aint going to drop the call he'son to swap to mine...... sooooooooooooooo
How do I get the "call waiting" message back?
please?
do a search yourself - it has been discussed a couple of times.
but as yet no one has sorted it / fixed it.
Was hoping one of the rom-cookers or reg hackers may know how it can happen, Orange "must" send a management message OTA to my phone to make it show "Call waiting", cos Nokias etc can all do it.
So has anyone got any idea about how to get it working?
Instead of letting it ring out to answer phone at the other end, would be nice to know the other person knows I am calling and that thye are on a call, gives me the oportunity to hang up rather than wait for the answer phone to cut in.
You are right about the operator must have sent such a "call waiting at other side" signal to the phone. But apparently, HTC decided that it is not important enough to warrant a notification on your cute little Trinity, and as a matter of fact, all HTC machines
I think either you swtich to Nokia/SE, or you go bug HTC for that, unless you know how to do low level stuff in the radio rom.

First of all, great job on the special edition ROM. Maybe I don't get why we in general would all want to calculate sun positions or use some of the other zillion apps, but hey... it's still more stable and largely better working than the OEM crap.
However... the blinking message light you can set for SMS, at least for me, doesn't act happy any longer. It certainly will turn on but not off after you read a message. Anybody else have this problem? It also sucks (casually unrelated) that there is no audible repeat notification that a call or SMS was missed. My cheapo $20 Motorola has that feature working great!
Also, my GPRS connection is dead. Don't know where to go on that, it worked after I set everything after the ROM update... for about two hours. Since then, no dice. It'll probably be difficult to get T-Mobile to troubleshoot it considering that it's not really their ROM anymore...
Thanks for any insights!

Indeed, some bugs exist. I also notice that SMS notified flash light can NOT turn off after I read a message. I try a dozen of times, still can't find a solution. So I just disable that function.
Another odd problem, I set the sound for missed call. The funny thing is, the "missed call" tone immediately comes after the "ring tone" if I don't pick up the call. Sadly, the "missed call" tone doesn't repeat any more. How do I really know I got a missed call? :x
try this
http://geocities.com/myppcpe2003/index.htm
try this one: MY|PHONE|PROFILES
it resolves some problems you listed[/url]
So NOBODY cares? No audible missed call notifications...
I have all the latest and greatest, thanks to you guys, mainly XDA-Developers and Jeff!!!
Still, no audible reminders of missed calls or unchecked SMS. Despite searching around all over, can't find any software to make up for this lacking feature.
What's up? No solution? Nobody cares/doesn't mind checking their phones for missed calls and such?

Does the phone still work I mean can you place a call?
Also where are you located?
Yea the phone works fine, it's just how all these are. I've tested four of them, they ALL do it. You miss a call, get voice mail, whatever. There is no provision to get repeated audible notifications like you can on any regular cell phone.
The best you can do is have the light continue blinking at increased intervals.
I've used 3.16, 4.00.5, 4.0016, and now 4.00.11. Same thing on all of them. Radio is now 6.24, was 6.18. Was same thing.
I don't think it's a bug, but a lacking feature.
I'm in the U.S.
Why, can you turn repeating audible notifications of a missed call on?
I agree that both 6.24 and 6.18 are lame and thats why I'm using AT&T's Radio Stack version A.20.10.
Sorry never heard of a repeating audible notification for missed calls though but you might want to take a look at the below programs:

I have the german T-Mobile MDA-Pro with D1. (whytf can't I specifly that in my profile ?) I experience some strange thing with it. When I pick up the phone when someone calls me (by pressing the green phone button) it takes a while until the other side can hear me.
So whenever I answer a call (by pressing that green phone button) I will have to wait 5-8 seconds after the buttonpress until I say something or else the other side wont hear what I say and still thinks I havent answered the phone yet.
Yes! indead...I've got the same problem. is it a software bug?
I too have the same problem, and sometimes it hangs up the call even when I press the green button.
I've posted before and everyone has said 'Use the search'...I have and can't find anything relevent (don't think the search facility of this is very good).
Can someone PLEASE point us.
I really do miss the speed and efficiency of my XDA2s!
I have had some experience of this, it does delay mine was worse before I got rid of all th O2 tat, it is now liveable with, however it is cutting off when I press the answer button !!! OR IS IT after conducting tests using another mobile I found out that
1) the phone does not take very long before O2 divert the call to Voicemail
2) the phone starts ringing long before you know anything about it (its worse if the phone is asleep) it can be a good few seconds before it makes any indication noises
3) it carries on playing the ringtone after the call has been diverted which gives the impression that pressing the answer button is futile.
I have talked to the technical suppport of t-mobile germany and they told me they era aware of this issue and they will be releasing an update in Q12006 that will resolve this issue.

I too have this problem and for the moment while i await any future fixes from O2 or others, i am using the following short-term fix; Under phone settings I have changed the delay period before calls are forwarded to ansafone if unanswered (this works on O2 anywa). One problem with this is that callers may give up before they are diverted to ansafone if you set the delay too long
did this really resolve the issue I was talking about in my initial post ? (that when I pick up the phone by pressing the green button the caller can not hear me for the fist 10 seconds )
I have XDA Exec and kept getting confused why my GF always sounded confused and puzzled when I answered the phone, Id say "hello" and she would wait a while, then say "Hello? you there?"
I never realised it was MY phone that was cutting off my voice at the start of the call.
In regards to the delay ringing, and answering etc, I am giving all my friends instructions to bloody well keep ringing! I turn answerphone off normally as my phone is always on. If you want to speak to me, keep ringing till i answer, if I dont want to talk, ill reject the call.
Why ring twice and hang up? I could be doing anything that takes more than 2 seconds to get that damn phone out of my pocket, get it out the case, open it, see who is calling, press the button, damn, missed call.
Same problem here. I am seriously thinking about using this as just a PDA. I don't think it's practical to use a phone that only works some times. Somebody on HoFo said that the Universal isn't meant to be used as a phone, it can, but it isn't meant to be. I'm starting to agree.
I just like the idea of not having to carry around a phone AND a pda. I kind of hoped that's what the universal offers. But it kind of looks like it doesn't ...
Its a great phone when used as a hands free device, answers almost straight away, and has great volume unlike most hands free - my callers also comment that the line quality is excellent even if a few metres away from the phone.
I do always feel stupid though when using the phone as a standard phone, would feel more comfy putting a brick to my head.
I use the old phone ringer as my incomming call notifictaion and I hear my phone in plenty of time. The standard o2 incoming notification sound was useless. I don't know what T Mobile have but might be worth trying a different notification sound.
Cheers

Did anybody found a solution for this? this is very annoying.
Agreed, its just ridiculously slow - I worry whether or not I've hung up on people too, it takes a good few seconds before the line is actually dropped, let alone for the interface to update.
I've stopped using the "suspend" option and the phone seems to work like you'd expect (even on a cheap cell phone!). But the battery life is suffereing. Hopefully my new spare battery should be here soon.

You mean I should walk around with some spare batteries in my pockets. :wink:
I think my pockets are too small for so many things.
Does anybody knows if this problem is known to HTC? Is there going to be an update?
It isn't possible that a phone doesn't act like a phone in these features that are already working 100 years. I want to pick up my phone and talk immediatly
By the way how do I switch off the "suspend" mode?
What is the "suspend" mode and how do I switch it off?
Look at Settings>Systems Tab>Power>Advanced Tab
Uncheck to "Turn off device if not used.."
This will stop the "suspend" mode
eeek ! Now I know why I would need an extra battery ....
Hello
When calling another person from my phone and if there are on the phone you will get call waiting as this way you now the person it on the phone.
I have tired it from another phone and it works but when i try it on htc hd2 it doesn't come up saying call waiting. Where as the person it on a call.
It was a very useful thing to have on phone. Is there a reg key i can change or cab file??
I think that if you are dialing, you do not have call waiting. This is also true for fixed lines. This is the only time your caller can get a busy tone.
But home phone nowadays operate like cell phones, and do not really send out the DTMF until you press the talk button. As a result, the dialing process beomes so quick that it does not matter much.
Alex
For example
If I am dialling your number and while you are already on another call with someone else than it will come up on my phone call waiting.
This way I now you are on the phone.
It use to work from my nokia phone but I am not sure if that option is available in winmo
I get a lot of calls, often getting calls when already on a call.
I had a TYTN II before, and it had a function that allowed me to hang up current call and answer new call.
I don't think the HD2 allows that? Only gives me option to answer new call, which leaves other call running. I end up having to ignore new call, hang up current call and call the other person back (at my cost).
I spend about 24hrs a month on the phone, so the more i can answer calls when the come in, the cheaper it is for me.
Any one know a solution.
Also side issue. I used to get appointment reminders. And if i had the persons phone number in the appointment, i could dial it from the reminder. Was great if i was running late. it seems to have disapeared, probably with an update. anyone know how to reactivate it?
anyone got any ideas?
ok still waiting for help on this.
Umm.. am I or does the great android is missing a critical phone feature that was available on Nokia's MonoChrome Phones ??

This is to enable call waiting in our line. If I am calling you, and you are talking to someone else, what notification does my screen give? Let me try that, never thought about it until now...

I don't know about you, but my phone (running Nexus-HD2 Gingerbread) just beeps when I've got a call waiting. It is rather quiet, but it's there.
Guys you just don't get it
What I'm talking about is when I'm calling someone..
And that someone has call waiting enabled and is already in another call
In my old nokia n70 I used to get "waiting" notification appearing on my screen during the call process
But in android ...
It just rings normally with no notifications what so ever !!!!!
So I never know whither my contact is already in a call or not
So I keep on ringing and the other parry gets annoyed...
The only time I ever saw an actual notification in android was in some Samsung galaxy (I don't remember which , they all look the same to me )
A toast notification that says "waiting" appeared and disappeared
So please could some awesome developer confirm this and port this very important missing feature to our lovely androids ?

Whenever I call someone that has call waiting enabled and they are on a call I just get a ringing tone, as if their phone is ringing. I've never had any phone do anything different, so I don't know what you're expecting to happen.

Nokia phones have a feature that let's you know if the person you are calling has another call and your call is waiting on that person's phone.
So when you are dialing if you are looking at the screen of your phone you get a "Waiting" notification to let you know.
Well...Iunderstand what you are saying...yes nokia has that...but we also get an engage beep tone ...i don't get a ringing sound if the other person is on another call...that works for me..how do you get a ringing tone??? Never heard that In my country

You are missing the point..it is not about your call waiting... Eg. I call you and if you are on another call, my nokia phone would show that you are on another call by displaying a notice "call waiting" to indicate that you are busy. Yes this feature was also there on my motorola and nokia phones
I know what you are talking about, i have seen this. I used to get it on my HD2 with Win 6.5, but i honestly have not seen it on my HD2 with android.
I think it is a carrier thing also. I never ever got the "Waiting" message when calling vodafone or optus phones, only when calling other telstra phones. Never saw it when i was using vodaphone either, with any phone, only ever saw it on telstra.
