Call waiting needs to be enabled by the network operator. Have you tried this SIM card in your other phone to see if it is to do with the operator or the handset?

No phone I know of will tell the other person that they are waiting, that is a network function. For example in the UK with landlines if you call a BT phone the person calling will get "The other person knows you are waiting, please hold" or something similar while they are talking to someone else. This is a network property not a handset one.

The only exception is devices like those made by Gigabyte, but to my knowledge HTC do not have this property.

He mean the well known problem in WM5 (and WM6) that enventualy mess with the alert queue. I got the problem and I solve it with the automatic clean-up of the program MemMaid.

how you solve this problem?
whit a special programe?
how i can see waiting alert?
it is very important for me
tanX

Oh! Apologies, I thought you meant a signal the caller gets...
Notification Alert Queue's can be cleared with MemMaid, and I think SKTools can also help

From what they have said it sounds like you use MemMaid (http://www.dinarsoft.com/memmaid/) to fix your alert queue. It has a "Rebuild the queue" option in it. Mahjong apparently uses MemMaid's scheduling abilities to automatically clean his phone, which solves the problem for him. I don't have this problem but hopefully that makes sense to you and helps you.

good
this is very important for pocketpc and ithing we must go for it any idea thanks

1) Search Google for Memmaid.
2) Install it in your PDA
3) Run MemMaid QuickClean (you will find it under Programs once you install Memmaid)
4) Done
This solve the problem to me.
Ah I almost forgot to mention that I learned about those 4 steps reading the messages at xda-developers.com... The Search option you find in the top of every page is a great tool.
Best regards,

I think you guys must be confused...
In my case, when i call someone that is on a call with call waiting activated on my HTC Touch doesn't "say" anything. On my old Nokia it "says" Waiting.
Another think i noticed is when i receive a diverted call on the old phone says "diverted call" and then put a simbol before the number. On my new phone no information about it is displayed.
I know this happens with HTC's... don't know about other brands...
Can anyone know if there is any app that can make the phone "smarter" in this case?

[REQ] Random Ringtone App

I have a lot of ring tones on my Touch Pro and I'd like to be able to use all of them without having to manually switch them every time I want a different one.
What I'd like to know is if there is an app that will randomly pick a ring tone from a specified folder whenever someone calls. So every call I receive will play a different ring tone. Does something like this exist? If not, would it be possible to create?
Thanks.

+1 on this program, been using it since the Tilt.

Holy cow, that's exactly what I was looking for! I've been looking for something like this since I had the PPC6700. Thank's a ton. I guess doing a search would of had that come up, so sorry fr that, but thansk again.

Wake on power button only

Have had no joy trying to find a solution to this...
I have disabled screen lock so currently all keys wake screen. I would like to change this so only the power button wakes the screen....help please.
Thanks

If you could tell me anything about their charges, then I could tell you....
was browsing their site and didn't find it.....
you can simply pm me about it

honestly no idea where that link came from, sorry

honestly someone must have a solution to this, it must be bugging people....

Bumping indeed, wanting this solution also

I'd like to know this as well... Also the answer button is a waste of space. Why would anyone need it if theoretically it shouldn't be possible to answer a call without finger slide. Sometimes I answer calls by mistake when removing the device from the pouch...

I think this is one of the reasons for my battery depletion. Every time I pull my HD2 out of my pocket, the screen is always on...

This really needs a solution
When taking the phone out of my pocket I have seen it in Opera, other apps and worst of all I heard my pocket talking to me on Monday - pulled my phone out and I had called someone who had been called by me listening to everything I was saying!
As I said this really needs a solution ASAP if anyone can help...

For now you might be better of by using Lock Screen, it can still turn on your phone with any hardkey. But atleast the screen itself is locked so you can't call someone, or start any programs.

I understand lock screen is an option but the simplicity of a one click lock/unlock makes the phone that much quicker to get into and better to use....
we just need a way to disable the other 4 buttons (expect power) from waking the device....

bump...anyone

I would like to know as well.
Also, I want the "answer" and "hang up" hard keys disabled when I receive a call. This made me pickup or ignore call which I did not want to pickup/ignore.

Only solution would be a custom rom with device lock/button lock coocked in it.

Well PocketShield is halfway there. it disables the hangup button nicely, but I can still push the hard pickup button.

Getting Closer
It seems like someone has at least managed to control the hard keys now... surely someone must be able to make this control the power button only for wake....

It's not work for me with 1.61 Rom...
In Call Lock.exe produce "Unexpected error"
But, I really need this trick

Reason4444, do you have .Net 3.5 installed?

General leo gripes !

right had this phone a few weeks now got most of the little niggles sorted with this forums help just a few others that bug me ....
1: there is a separate system and ringer volume ...but if you set one it changes the other!! they are not independent. this is a major bug for me because if i have my phone on vibrate while im at work, if i then want to listen to music at work i plug in my headphones and have to turn up the volume to listen to the music. but if i then take out my headphones the phone is now on loud. and if i forget and leave it on i get told off at work ! lol
2: the age old text reply problem. 200+ messages (and no i dont want to delete them) means a big wait to reply to a message ....stupid !
3: the lock screen slider is very odd, sometimes it will unlock with one slide and other times it will take a few goes...and if your showing off your new phone to someone it just looks crap because you cant even unlock it ! can the area of touch sensitivity around the lock button be increased in size to make it easier to unlock ???
anyway cheers Dom

1. The volumes can be set seperatley if you choose to, by default they are linked. To set them seperately you simply go to settings sounds and display, and set single volume to off!
2. You can use Microsoft MyPhone to archive your text messages, ie not deleted but not on your phone. I did this with 2000 messages that I dont really need to be stored on the phone.
3. No lock issues here, to increase the area would sort of defeat the whole point of the lock button

2: the age old text reply problem. 200+ messages (and no i dont want to delete them) means a big wait to reply to a message ....stupid !

Just disable HTC Messaging and the problem is gone.
I wonder why people are still complaining about this, the fix is as easy as it gets. Really nothing worth talking about.

1: wow how did i not see that ?!?! i've looked in the menu about a million times ! haha cheers
2: yeah i have used that too but some messages i like to have with me so i can read them back......sentimental old sod i am...
3: i guess if no one else is having trouble it must just be me ! lol

You can disable the lock screen, if you want, with the following Registry setting:
[HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd] "DeviceLockWhenSuspend"=dword:0

right tried that and you still cant have the ringer on vibrate and the system on loud .... if you click vibrate on either it sets the other !!!!!!!!!

if you click vibrate on either it sets the other !!!!!!!!!

This is normal for Windows Mobile and has nothing to do with HTC.
I don't know if there's a workaround.

well i dont care if its htc or win mobile .... its annoying ! lol

If you use something more powerful like G-Profile you can set up profiles with, for example, your txt/calls set to vibrate only. (Dont change the ringer volume to vibrate, instead change the incoming call notification to vibrate only. You can of course do this in Settings, but its easier with profiles)
It seems G-Profile is no longer free, but I am sure there are free alternatives if you search around.

Not that I want to be rude, but other phones cannot even set different volumes for system/ringer. E.g. on the iPhone, you only get ONE volume and you can't do anything about it.
Actually, it's already a huge advantage of Windows Mobile that is has that feature.
And it's a huge advantage that there are programs like G-Profile that give you even more options.

HKLM > Software > HTC > Phone > PhoneExtendSetting:
ReduceNoiseInCall to 1
SupportReduceNoiseInCall to 1

Anyone knows what is the difference with it on?

I don't get it. Why would you ask for a way to ensure that a certain thing is always turned on if you do not know what it actually does?????

No one knows what is this for?

I knows it reduces noise (the name is obvious...) but what noise? From our side or from the other persons side? And how (the HD2 only has one mic, unlike the Pro2 I think)?

No, I use a custom ROM, but I'm not questioning what it does. I just don't understand why a thread has been raised asking how to do something that the OP doesn't even know what it is for!
