My carrier is ROGERS in Canada.
Some of us were having this problem for Rogers/Fido.
I tested this two times and IT IS THE PROBLEM (for me)
Call your carrier and ask them to TURN OFF NAME DISPLAY (leave caller id on, if name display did not work for your country then turn off caller id to test. In Canada Rogers allows both options separately).
This is how I found this problem.
I had 2.2 (V20G) problems with caller id or name showing as payphone.
I asked them to turn OFF name display. My 2.2 phone worked fine for months after that, no more payphone caller ids.
TODAY
I now have 2.3gb running and I made 4 calls just BEFORE I called Rogers to turn back on name display.
They turned it on and my phone would NOT ANSWER calls. The 3g/HS symbol would turn into a circle with 2 arrows and the call signal bars would turn off. On my land line the phone rings 2 times and hangs up.
I had Rogers turn OFF name display while on my land line and had the tech call me and it worked RIGHT AWAY without a REBOOT but I also rebooted to test and it WORKED.
Now you all owe me $5

Thanks for taking the time to read this..
Just wondering if there is anything I can run or enable on my ORANGE branded Touch 3G to show that I have calls diverted..
I very often have to divert to my works phone during the day time and sometimes forget if it is still diverted.. My other phone (works Sony Ericsson) has a symbol which stays at the top of the screen when divert is set..
Any idea's... Thoughts etc...
Thanks Phil
not sure if i got u right, as i am not sure if you and i do understand the word diverted the same way...
but if you ask for an indicator for missed calls, you can adjust the length of blinking for missed calls (start - settings - "sounds and announcements" (i got the german rom).
there you go to announcements and then you change the blinking setting for missed calls to "allways" or "not ending".
I set my phone to send any incoming calls to my other phone (divert).
Actually the network does the diverting but on my other phone (SE K850i) a symbol is shown on the screen. All my previous makes off phone have done similar and I could do with the HTC doing the same..
Thanks....
Phil
If you mean this function or something similar to this:
"Ignore all: This mode rejects all incoming calls and goes straight to voicemail. The phone will stay on only for data access. The rejected calls will be added to the call history log and the standard missed call notification will appear on the Today screen."
This is only possible with additional software (afaik), for example this one:

(Free 14 days trial). I use it an it is very good, imo.
It ist not possible to see an provider-call diversion (= forwarding) on your handset (afaik).
The last line actually answers my question totally...
Thanks again for replying.. Phil
The only thing done to this phone is the revolutionary root method to get the tether app. While making an outgoing phone call to 2-3 different phone numbers, the phone would buzz to show it did connect. Then about a second later the screen goes back to the dialer screen. Any idea's??? Thanks.
Does the phone number you're calling have a +1 or other international code in front of the number? The dialer really doesn't like that. There should be a setting in the calls settings for plus code dialing where you should be able to adjust it. But I haven't been on a stock ROM for a while, so I can only assume it's there.
You can call sprint and have them reprovision (re-activate) your phone, that may help. The fact that you are rooted shouldn't have anything to do with problems making calls, thats usually a network issue.
I've had the same issue. Make a phone call and before it even dials it goes straight to lock screen. Or sometimes it does dial then stops the call and goes back to lock screen. I'm on CM7 so I just figured it was a poor signal causing mine. Sense roms do not seem to do this for me.
I keep on missing the call because of the ring being to short! I found this article.
If your phone is sending calls to voicemail before you can get to it, you can actually adjust how long it rings before going to voicemail. Here's how to do it.
AT&T and T-Mobile both use the same method, which lets you change the number of rings right from your phone. To do it:
Dial *#61# from your phone. Tap Send.
You should see a new screen that displays a bunch of information about what's getting forwarded. You should see a line under "Voice Call Forwarding" that says "Forwards to +11234567890" (where 11234567890 is an eleven digit phone number, likely different from your phone number). Write down this number and tap Dismiss.
Now, dial **61*+11234567890*11*XX# and hit Send, where 11234567890 is the number that you found in step two and XX is the number of seconds you want to wait until voicemail picks up. You can set it in increments of 5, where 30 seconds is the maximum.
After you hang up that call, you can have someone call your phone and see if it worked. On some phones, you can dial *#61# again and see how long it's delaying your calls, but our test phone (the iPhone) did not show this information.
Alternatively, you should be able to call AT&T or T-Mobile customer service and have them change it from their end, if you're uncomfortable doing it yourself.

I'm on stock KK and quiet mode works good except for whitelist but i allowed some numbers for call on the whitelist (mostly family for emergencies) but when i activate quiet mode and call from one of those allowed contacts my phone doesn't ring at all, call is ended (from the phone calling i go directly to voicemail) and i have notification of missed call when i wake up the phone.
The option to let them pass through if they call twice in less than 3 minutes work as expected, but the whitelist doesn't. Does it work for you?
any thoughts?

glad to see i'm not the only one, i also tried to modify contacts number and add country code and regional code to match exactly the number when you receive a call, but the option of 2 call in less than 3 min works anyway even if the number doesn't have country code.
Hope someone knows something about this.
