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.

Hi,
Can someone tell me how a can redirect a incomming call to the mailbox when I don't want to answer that call?
I only can decline the call and then the caller gets a busy tone and know that a pushed the call away....
Settings>Phone>Call Forwarding>Get Settings...
Make sure "No Answer" is ticked and diverts to your mailbox number.

Thanx for your help, but that one I know... :lol:
What I want is to stop the phone ringing and push it to the voicemailbox!
Now I have to wait 30 sec before the call is redirect to the mailbox...
In conjunction to "elyl's" suggestion, if you don't want to hear the phone ring, then turn the volume off. Otherwise you need a 3rd party software like Phone Alarm.

but sometimes you just don't wanna talk to a person that is calling you... and I don't mean because I'm busy or something just push it away to the voicemail.
I use Phonealarm but it didn't give me the option when the phone rings (with a certain person I don't wana talk to) push it to voicemail!
So now I leave it ringing and then it goes to the mailbox at last.
I've just tried it on my Magician. If you press the red/end button right after it ring then the call is redirected to the voice mail.
hmmm, when I push the red button it gives a busy tone to the caller...
Thanx for trying
do you have the other call divert (when busy, when out of range, etc.) functions active?
Must be an operator-dependent thing then, cos when I reject a call it gets sent to the mailbox. Dial into your mailbox and see if you can change the settings.

this is for you......good luck trying to get it to work....i didn't have much time (spend about 1hr trying to get it to work)

Finaly it is working!!
I just re enterd the voicemailbox number and send it again to the telecom provider.... :?
Thanx again for your help and testing...
great to know that you have it finally working
One day I learned (by accident), that if you use the hardware volume button while the phone rings, it will mute the ring tone. That way, you can let it "ring" in silence for the duration of the 30 seconds before it forwards to your voice mail.
I use the vol down in these situations, but I think it also mutes on vol up.
I am using Wizard with WM5.0. The phone software is the default one.
When you dial a service hotline, you normally hear the voice prompt: "English Press 1, French press 2"... How to press the 1 and send the DTMF touch tone over to the service provider? I tried press 1 but there is no DTMF tone generated?
Thanks in advance for anyone who can answer my question.
Strange - it's working (and has always worked with all the ROM's) great with my Wizard. In addition, Menu / Options /Phone / Keypad doesn't have any effect on what is sent out to the other party.
Try doing this with as many DTMF-based services as possible to find out whether it's a problem with the particular service you've called up or a generic one.
In the phone app, you should press "keypad" button to bring back the phone keys during the call to generate DTMF.
Hi, Menneisyys,
I have tried to call two different hotline. I failed to get throught the first question such as : "Press 1 for English, Press 2 for French...". It seems that these two service provider do not have problem as I can call them by my land wired phone.
Hi, micvario,
Yes, I am able to go to the Keypad. But pressing any digits does not send any thing to the hotline...
Very strange....
Hi, when you use the keypad, do digits appear on the screen and can you also hear the tones from the speaker? If so, I suspect the problem may be with the signal quality..
Hi, micvario,
Yes. The digit appear on screen and there is tone from the speaker....
ok,
1) you can call your own landline to listen if tones are really transmitted
2) check signal strenght; i guess if its zero or one bar only, you may not notice in speech but it could be a problem for tone processing at the other end... try to increase and try again..
3) if there are loud background sounds like music, traffic, this may also interfere with the tones..
Hi, micvario,
I made a mistake last time.... (Haven't try this for a few days).
When I press "1", "2".... during a call, I can't hear any DTMF tone generated.
Is mostly a hardware error or software error?
Thanks
wqiiqw
I'm having the same problem
I'm having the same problem. Since I'm using PV4 when I press the keypad I can hear the tone, but no DTMF are sent to the other side of the line.
No DTMF during call
I'm having the same problem. I can hear the tones and the numbers are displayed but not sent across the line. So, I can't delete voice mail. HELP! I also had some one on a voice call tell me they couldn't hear the tones.
Anything further on this? I have the same problem on my desire z. Can hear the tone on my end but no recognition on the receiving end...
Am i missing something here,..?? I have set a MP3 as my incoming ring tone and the file lasts for just over 1 minute but when it is assigned as my incoming ring tone it will only ring for no more 12 seconds before registering a missed call, is there a way to increace the ring tone time before going to missed call, the damm thing has me running like mad around the house to answer before it rings off
I am sure there is a simple answer to this,,,??
As part of the phone settings there are settings for what happens after your phone rings for a length of time and also for how long your phone should ring before being diverted.
Take a look there and see if it solves your problem!!
Matt
The only options in here are "Answer incoming calls without pressing" which is not ticked and "Talk after" and i have set it for 10 rings. But because the tone is a mp3 song, it does not seem to go on for more than 10 seconds, is there another way or am i looking in the wrong place
Start->Settings->Phone->Services->Call Forwarding->"Forward phone calls only if"-> "No answer: voicemail number, Forward after: 30 seconds"
ahh man, thats great...sorted out fine..but what a daft place to put it. Would have thought it would be something obvious....must be my age..hehe Cheers
If youre device has video calling/receiving - theres a similar option accessed from the phone pad, under video call settings.
Matt
How can you let the phone ring longer before the caller gets the voicemail? My Niki rings about 5 seconds before hanging up...
Yeah go into
Start
Settings
Personal
Phone
Services
Select Call Fowarding press get settings and extend the time for diverting to Voicemail.
thanx a lot ed33!
I don't make many calls but about 50% of the time if i press dial i see it's trying to ring but there's no ring tone, it is just silent, it just doesn't connect to the other line. I have to hang up and try again.
I'm on O2 uk, anyone else with this problem??
