Hi, do anyone experience when a call come in, ring for a while and then drop. Then 1 miss call appear on the phone.
How to solve this?
Maybe you should accept the call, or say the person that calls you that he/she has to ring for a longer time?
The caller complaint that I reject the call.
The HTC's "Missed Call" concept is amazing and very _annoying_ to me.
Tell me if I'm the only one or there are others who feel like me.
Here's the problem:
Generally speaking, when someone calls you, you have three options (irrespective of the phone you use):
1. Accept (answer the call)
2. Reject (cancel immediately the incoming call)
3. Ignore (let the phone ring until the caller or the carrier quits the incoming call)
Now, when I get called on my TD2, I have 2 options: "Answer" and "Ignore".
In fact HTC's "Ignore" is functioning as what normally is called "Reject".
But, Ignoring and Rejecting are two different things.
If I Reject, it means I don't want to take the call and the caller understands that right away.
If I Ignore, for the caller it means either I don't want to take the call or I cannot answer for various reasons.
But HTC has messed up these concepts.
The problem is that if I intentionally reject a call (Ignore according to HTC) that call is still reported as a Missed Call (plus the green flash).
Now, I've never seen on a mobile phone a rejected call to be registered as a missed call.
I don't pretend I've used all mobile phones in the world, but I have never encountered this concept.
... and it's annoying.
I want to be informed about the calls I "MISSED" not the calls I've deliberately rejected.
Am I the only one annoyed by this?
are you reffering to the slide options (left / right) or to the button below the slider?

Yes. When you get a call you either slide to "Answer" or "Ignore".
However, "Ignore" is really rejecting a call.

I am bothered by this too. I always thought when I was ignoring a call the ringtone was going to silent but the caller was still ringing a bit like on Nokia's.
Exactly, this "concept" of ignore/reject it's also annoys me! Not mention the missed call when you reject the call ! This is weird also for me !
Correct me if I'm wrong since I do not have the phone, but can't you silence a ring by turning the phone over (face down) in essence, ignoring the call?
Another neat trick is something that the accelerometer makes the phone NOT do; the simple act of flipping the Diamond over on its face puts it immediately into silent mode. No more embarrassing rings during meetings.

I realize this is a link to the original touch diamond but I thought the feature was still in tact on on both the Pro2 and Diamond2

Yes, you can, it works.

It works too
Also here, very annoying.
Not speaking for muting the sound, but rejecting call and it's going as missed call.
It's stupid.
When you get call in TD2 you will have slide for "Answer" and "Ignore" and another button for "Mute Ring".
Any mobile will have 3 types of call in the register: Incomming, Outgoing and Missed.
Incomming Calls: 2 Types:
a) Received
b) Missed
So you can "answer" the call using "Answer" slide: This will register in "Incomming" calls.
"Reject" the call using "Ignore" slide: This will register in "Missed" call.
Why??? You might have rejected the call for many reasons or you may want to know the calls that you have rejected, so Missed calles. This is EQUAL to the actual MISSED Calls, where you did not see your phone when the call came in.
And "Mute the Ringtone" using "Mute Ring" button. This will register the call based on your response with slide button as above. May be Received or Missed
And Finally you have "Outgoing Calls".
So can you specify if the calls that you reject does not get register under "Missed" where it should go?
For me the Call register of HTC TD2 using WM is perfect

Did your previous phone(s) worked like that (i.e. registering Rejected calls as missed)?

Where it should go? or where does it goes in your previous phone(s)?
As far as I know, all the WM phones (standard & professional) act this way. Rejecting a call (or ignore in HTC) as well as pressing the hang up hardware button will rejister the call as a missed call (with the corresponding led notification).
As for regular phones, my older SonyEricsson phones used to behave in the same way. But Nokia phones actually treat rejected calls as recieved calls & not as missed calls.
Each type of behavior has its own benifits & disadvantages. But it would be nice if we could choose which behavior the phone does since WM phones are highly customizable.

This will be really great some senior registry guy should reply this with the related change
Missed calls are calls missed!
Prabat is correct, it does make sense....
if you rejected a call or ignores it, it means you missed that call coz you did not answere it, make sense right?
whatever your reasons are for not taking the call or by rejecting it, STILL you didnt took the call so simply means you missed it.
unanswered calls either by ignoring or rejecting SHOULD be listed under MISSED calls and thats common sense....
Suppose I have to take the train to get somewhere.
If I tell you I have missed the train what do you make of it?
That I failed to reach it in time or can it also mean that I was there just one meter from the train but I refused to get on it?
MISSED means I was not there, couldn't make it on time etc.
Common sense tells me that a missed call is a call I missed to acknowledge (i.e. missed to take any decision about it: answer or reject).
P.S.
Thinking more about it, I understand that you mistake "call" for "conversation" and HTC does the same.
What you describe is a missed conversation.
But call and conversation are two different things.
When somebody calls you (and I'm not referring only to telephony) if you answer the call, the conversation starts.
But when I don't hear when somebody calls me, then I missed that call, (i.e. I have a missed call).
As a phone user I am interested of being notified about the calls made to me and which I was not aware about.
To better describe the difference between call and conversation:
Somebody calls me.
I answer (I accepted the call).
I immediately cut off the phone connection (no conversation occurs) --> I have a missed conversation since I didn't talk with the other person.
The end result: no missed calls, one missed conversation.
The HTC Diamond 2 doesn't notify me of any missed "things" because I didn't miss any calls (and I agree with it). But I have missed a conversation and my phone doesn't know that.
The phone's job is to notify me about missed calls, and not about missed conversations.
Imagine the following dialogue:
Wife: Hey dear, why didn't you answer my first call?
Husband (drunk): Oh.. no.. dear... I missed it..!
Wife: You liar!
Husband (drunk): Oh.. no.. I can prove it. Look my led is flashing, it means it could be your missed call, let me check..
Wife: Oh no you bastard, you rejected it on purpose, but you're using that weird HTC "Missed Call" concept in order to look innocent. You've drinking with the boys again, haven't you ?!!!
at least thumbs up for the very fanciful story
Even I feel that the "Rejected" calls should go into "received calls" list.
I thought that my phone had a software problem. Now I know.
But, even if the call goes in the "missed calls" list, maybe it can give a notification that the call was deliberately "Rejected"...
Any help would be greatly appreciated since this problem is bugging me.
Thanks.
HI all, my hd2 has a strange problem
Whenever I am in a phone conversation, and a third party dial in, there is no notification other than a beep (which is barely heard when you are in a phone call). Is this normal for your HD2?
Can you make the phone vibrate when there is a third party incoming call??
and another question related to call waiting. if i am calling smbd and that somebody is engaged in a conversation with a third person, i don;t hear in my phone any sound that would inform me that i am on hold and the person might think: WTF, is he stupid or what. any ideas?
with the forst i don't know... with the second i think it is network dependent...
and i have another one... what about when you have a number directed to yours to have a sign or somthg when the incoming call is from that number...
what i was talking about of course it's network depending, but u see, with the same SIM in a samsung or a nokia i can see the notification that i am calling when the line is occupied, with my HD2, and generally, with any other WinMo device, u cannot see it. it was discussed a lot, but i thought may be smbd have a solution already.
Every call i made or answered today, it automatically does so in speaker phone mode. For example: i get a call and the phone answers it on speaker and everyone can hear the caller. Any ideas? thanks
If you have visual voicemail try opening that and playing a message but change it from speaker mode into handset mode then try making a call and see if that works.

Am close to selling the iPhone for a Note 3, can anyone tell me what a caller hears when they have been blocked by you when they then call you?...
Do they just hear silence or a continual tone or what happens?

I believe I have already answered your other question (the one you should have NOT posted in General ).
All this is on my N9005 on my carrier in EU.
In blocking mode they hear the busy tone (like you rejected their call). You also have Airplane mode (where they are basically told that you are not connected to the network, like out of coverage area or powered-off) and also "Mute/Vibration" mode (where they hear normal ringing but you don't hear it).
