HTC Home Voicemail??

I have looked around on the site but haven't found any info on changing the missed call indicator to show the number of new voicemails. Has anyone ever looked into doing this?
I am not afraid of a little coding but, I am no code monkey lol.
Thanks for the input guys.

I also have a question about modifying the links on the HTC Home plugin. Both the messaging and the voice mail link are linked to text messages. The voice mail also displays the number of new text messages instead the number of new voice mails, and the message link displays nothing at all. Any way to modify this?

i think you may be misunderstanding what you display is showing. there is no VM count on the HTC Home. only a missed call display. try calling you phone and hang up...see if the one that you think is Text is really missed calls.
trust me i know what i am talking about.

Per call/contact caller ID settings

Is there a way, other than adding *31# infront of the stored number, to enable caller ID per contact in my 'people' tab?
My number is blocked by default (and I'd like to keep it that way for a variety of reasons) but would like to enable the ID when calling my wife and select other people. The workaround so far has been to add the code above infront of the number but then it seems SMS messages are not going thru which is less than ideal (I could add a separate number entry for messages I guess, but still).
Having looked at the Phone settings it seems I'm able to select "Contacts only" which in my mind (as a dev) means someone has already written a app (or simply extended the current Contact app) to allow for this on a per-contact basis.
Any ideas?

You can try this MagiCall
http://www.mobiion.com/

I was also looking for this.
The MagiCall features don't mention the option to set caller id per contact.
@emigrating: Did you fix it another way?
Anyone else knows a good solution?

+1 same interrest same issue.
But as time goes on you can use the following workaround: or let's say this is the way I manage it......
If you use the traditional SMS Mode and hit reply sms goes through.
This doesn't work as mentioned in Konversation Mode.
It's uncomfortable because the konversation mode is the better client...but the only way you can send sms to someone stored as *31# contact.
It seems as if the konversation mode always refers to the number stored in your contact, whereas the traditional mode refers to the number which comes with the sms.
I hope someone can fix this, or has a better workaround, I'll be interested to!!!

use MagiCall. Set up a rule: for your wife's phone #, prepend *31#, then dial.
I use it for long distance calls. For all phone # not in my home area code, prepend 1511 (chaper long distance call provider), then dial. A small problem with this: need to disable this rule when roaming in another country.
Give it a try, it is good.

I've downloaded the trial version and set up a rule for Outlook categories, just to test. Change the dialed number to #31#{phone}. When I call someone in the particular category, the MagiCall icon appears in the topbar and my device freezes....
No big problem, I restarted my device to try again.
The same thing happens. Again I take out the battery and restart the phone.
At that point the device became terrible slow somehow.
With a little patience I succeeded uninstalling the app.
Restarting again.
Fortunately, my phome is normal speed again.
Sorry, I'm not a big fan of MagiCall at this moment...
----
Edit: Just trying again, because I can't find a real alternative.
The problem seems to occur when I choose Outlook Category as filter.
Just bad luck for me by choosing that option for my first try.
The program seems to respond on other conditions.
It could be my phone only, otherwise maybe I will contact Mobiion about this..
Edit2: The problem was known and was fixed in a newer version.
So it seems to work after all

Caller ID problems

Hi there,
I needed to change my caller ID settings on my phone, but after I did that, I found that I couldn't dial out. I chose the setting for blocking caller ID to everyone. I then tried out contact only, and found I could only dial my contacts, and finally visible to everyone, and then i could dial out like normal. This is most annoying, as there are people who I don't want to see my number when I call, such as my students. Why would it block me calling in the first two cases - all I want blocked is my number appearing on the other person's phone. Could it have something to do with my local network? Any ideas?
Thanks,
David
PS I was playing about with my contacts while I was testing this out. I noticed my phone slowed down to a crawl, so much so that it was unusable, after changing a contact's details. Anyone else noticed this?

Has nobody experienced this? Or am I being an idiot and not understanding something simple?

[Q] Better Dialer Screen

Hi Guys.
I have a sugession and request as well. There is something very important missing in Manila Dialer screen.
When call comes, in Tytn II, it shows Caller Name, Number, His Company name and Designation (if stored with name). But in manila, this is missing.
I request you, if it is possible to make something in that way. I have several contacts with the same name from different companies and when a call cames I never know what person is really calling. It would be great if we can have a dialer screen with Picture, Name, Company name and number.
I have searched and searched and I could not find what I need.
Thanks & Best Regards

I don't believe this has anything to do with manila but with the phone canvass or dialer.
Whether or not this can be added I don't know.

Thanks for your reply.
Any ideia how to change canvas or dialer? I think I can only change colors and fonts on the dialer.
Any possibility to change the fields that are displayed and add the company name too?

The incoming call screen in Phone Canvas displays whatever you have the name filed as in your contacts. Why not file it differently? You know, you can add a company name to a contacts information and have the company name display in parentheses right after their name. That way, it will display in that format in your calls too. Just a suggestion...

Thanks for your suggestion, but I use my phone mainly for business and I need to file name and company in diferent fields. I really need a company field on dialer screen so I can quicly identify who is calling me. I have 912 contacts and isn't easy to remember where each contact works.

The 3 things I dislike on my SGS2 coming from 3 Years of HTC

Sorry for this rant but I am finding it more difficult to live with these Issues everyday..
1. The call history list all calls (dialed, missed, received) and Messages as well! this is annoying, I dont want to see my message history in my call log, and there is no way to hide it except to view by just one call category, Dialed, missed or received.
2. Dialing a contact by name from the phone key pad, I can only search by the First name and not by second name, On my htc Desire/HD I could very well search by any of the names listed for a contact but unable to do so on this phone, this is really annoying as well.
3. Pull down notification bar would not work in the middle of a call unless I go to the home screen.. not cool.
If anyone knows a work around or other roms that addresses these issue please feel free to recommend.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for this , definitely prefer this to stock dailer ...

Try "Dialer One" from the market, it works very similar to the htc desire. And is very customable.
