Hi,
So I have a major problem with my Exec and wanted some advice before doing a full reset. When I get an incoming call I hear it ring once at most and then it seems to hang and push the call through to voicemail. Is this a known bug ?
Also when the phone was working I could never answer a call when the phone was closed - when I open it and click on answer 100% of the time the caller had be pushed through to voicemail.
Thoughts?

@monkeyleader,
which mode are you using? I use Corporate mode and I have not had any problems (did have problems with the phone on my JJ however).
Also, make sure you don't kill the "phone" process with the o2 task manager in the non-Corporate modes.
Its in corporate mode as far as I know - this was working, and indeed it does ring, Im just unable to answer the dam thing

@monkey
I assume you've tried the SIM in another phone to check that there are no problems with the SIM
@jah
either in Corporate, basic, personal, if u kill the phone.exe proces it will do those problems, but his problem si probably the SIM card

@fakbrenjeri
as far as I know the O2 Task Manager is not available in Corporate mode.
Problem with the SIM ?? Surley not and just to confirm I put the sim in another phone and it worked perfrect.
So for example Im sitting with the phone in the closed position. It rings .. I open the phone and swivel the sceren into portrait mode ... I try to hit answer and it doesnt seem to respond ....

I have exactly the same problem , getting a bit frustrating and costly as I am currently missing loads of calls and having to ring the people straight back ! so in effect I am paying for my incoming calls !
Going to throw it back at o2 tomorrow
Hey there,
I have my HTC HD set to NOT answering calls automatically. However it does that still only when I recieve a call while Im on the phone (second line). It rings once and immediately switches the call to the new incoming one. Could get very annoying when you have an important sales call! and especially if you intentionally dont want to pick up the other call
Is there a setting for that I am missing? thanks for the help.

Have you checked the call waiting settings?

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.

@Bothkill
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.

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.
I'm pretty embarrassed to be asking something like this, but is there any way to nicely handle the following race condition:
1) You're talking to someone. The call drops.
2) You call them right back. The call goes straight to their voicemail, because it just so happens that they're calling YOU right now. It took a half-second or so it for you to realize what happened...
3) ... and now you just heard the call-waiting beep, and know the 'incoming call' message is going to appear on the screen in just a moment. Damn. It's too late to abort. If you hit 'end' now, it's going to decline the incoming call and leave you in their voicemail. On the other hand, if you hit 'send', it's going to keep the voicemail call active, and take the incoming call from the person.
In other words, you have two options, and both of them suck. What you REALLY want to do is kill the voicemail call, and take the incoming call.
Is there any good way to do it? Specifically on Sprint, but I'm willing to randomly try things known to work with other carriers, too, just in case it happens to work with Sprint as well.
Failing that, does the Android API expose enough of the phone to create a custom event handler that reacts to call-waiting events by comparing the number just dialed to the number on the caller ID, and if both are the same, forcibly terminate the first call and take the second?
I hate it when this happens too. I hadn't thought of a solution but it just occurred to me that pressing # ends voicemail on some carriers. Haven't tried it with Sprint yet but might be worth a shot.
I've the S4 for a little over a week, but it's been a rather busy week so I haven't given it my full attention as yet. I really like it so far, I haven't gotten all the bells and whistles to work and I'm testing battery life with them disabled vs enabled etc. But I'm not really doing much else with it yet.
The only actual issue I'm having is receiving phone calls. When someone calls me, it takes a couple rings on their end before my phone starts ringing (I've encountered this with Sprint before though) but then when I try to answer the call, I don't get the person on the other end. I get a recorded message telling me I've got an incoming call from (name of caller in my contacts list) and if I want to accept to press 1 now. The message takes so long to get to that point that by the time it tells me to press 1 to accept the call, the call goes into voicemail.
I don't receive a lot of phone calls, but I would like to be able to actually answer them when I do. As of now when someone does call me I have to call them back.
This message plays AFTER I've 'accepted' the call on the screen and it plays through the handset not the speakers. I have Google voice set up for my voicemail.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Sounds like you have google voice setup or you used to. You will have to go to the site on your pc to disable it.

I thought Google Voice had something to do with it but I didn't think of checking the settings via PC.
For anyone else with the same issue: Google.com/voice>settings>calls> call screening off.
