How to block calls while on EVDO? - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

Hey guys, I put this over in the regular titan forums, but I wasn't sure where it belonged.
I am wondering if there is any way to send all incoming calls to voicemail when I am using PDAnet to get online. I know there is a PDAnet setting to "allow calls when connected" but even if I uncheck this, calls still come through and discconect my internet.
The reason I'm posting this here is because if something specific to PDAnet isn't available, or possible, is there anything that I can do to the phone to not have incoming calls disconnect my internet connection? I had a Motorola Q for a little while, and there is a "bug" that actually does this automatically (sends call to voicemail while on EVDO). It was a setting in the DEBUG menu, in the field test option, called DDTM, and it was by default on (I think), and so people had to change that to off (could be switched) to allow incoming calls. It was perfect for me though. Now, I think I tried looking for a DDTM setting in the mogul and I had found it a while back, but I dont think it did anything with regard to my situation. So my questions are:
Is there anything with PDAnet that I can do besides the setting I talked about? Registry or something...?
If nothing with PDAnet, then does anyone know how to change the DDTM setting on a mogul? I got into the DEBUG menu (##33284#) and I didnt find any DDTM setting there.
Besides the DDTM setting (since it hasn't worked for me in the past) is there any other method you guys can think of that will do what I want?
Thanks!!

Call Filter
Yes there is There is a program called, Call Filter. you should be able to google it an find it.

SPB Phone Suite can also filter calls.

My understanding of call filter programs is that they screen the calls once they come to the phone and then prevent the phone from ringing. I would imagine this would still disconnect my internet services. I messed around a little with SPB phone suite, and I have nexvisions rom, which comes with Call SMS blocker (it has a call filter option). With SPB phone suite with the filter enabled, I couldn't even connect via PDAnet, it gave me an error 619 or something. With the Call SMS blocker, the program didn't block my incoming call at all, so that's more the program's fault. But am I mistaken in thinking that a call filter program would not work for my needs?

You don't need those programs to do it. Go to phone setting > Mode of Operation > change to EVDO only. This will automatically block all incoming/outgoing calls.
PS you might have to edit your registry if Mode of operation doesnt show.

I believe DCD's clean rom has it on his rom.

Yes it does.
That does seem to work for my last option. But I cant receive any calls at all when in this mode, so I guess I would have to manually change this each time . Is there any way this entry can be automatically changed somehow with a script or a registry change? Also, this wouldn't work in areas without EVDO right? Since I'm disabling 1x, it would seem like it. So no software solution for this eh? Wierd how the glitch with the Q was perfect for me...

You are stuck with the manual fix tbh.

Himalaya as a pager

Can anyone please advise on setting my Himalaya as a pager(through SMS)??? Can't seem to find any posts on this specific topic. Thanks in advance for the help
Interesting.. how do you suppose to do that? Disable your ability to receive phone call? But still able to receive SMS?
Hmmm.. interesting.. maybe you can do
(1) Make your ring tone silent (e.g. use a silent WAV as ring tone) but put a loud and long WAV for your SMS.
(2) Use the divert call feature, Setting -> Phone -> Services -> Call forwarding. Check "Forward all incoming phone call to", and put in a fake number. So, when anyone tries to call you, they will be diverted into the fake number. (e.g. for girls whom are getting irritating calls, you can use this method). However, you still have your SMS working.
Another option (not every phone has this, but WM5 seems to have) would be Setting -> Phone -> Services -> Call Barring -> Block Incoming calls.
Better test your thing before really using it (e.g. try SMS it). Haven't try these technique yet.
Anyway, pity that this phone is being used as a pager though. It is like buying a refrigerator use it as a cupboard.
pager
I probably phrased my question poorly. I wanted to be able to receive a page as an SMS message . I meant to do that in addition to the phone/email connections. Didn't mean to suggest to disable the phone at all. Thanks
You'll be needing an app on this page http://sharewareconnection.com/titles/alpha-paging.htm
SNPP protocol is available on the GSM band naturally, but you will need special session/application software for compiling data for use on the protocol.
I doubt you can do that. Firstly, you will need a station/provider to have a paging service, so you will have a page station for people to call to, you also need them (provider) to send you the signal. And, I'm pretty sure that you can't just accept any pager signal easily with a standard consumer devices and some cool software (esp that you still want the phone feature) as there are security features built into the page signal for better data transfer efficiency and privacy.
I think you will be carryign a pager for a while

DCD 3.1.2 and Voice Command

Hello all. Before tweaking to DCD 3.1.2, Voice command would announce incoming messages and callers. Now, with dcd, the actual ringtone is played over bluetooth headset and no announcments are made. any thoughts on how to eliminate ringtone being played over bluetooth and have announcments made again? Thanks folks. You guys rock!
mine acts different...i get ringtone in my headset and it announces who calls over ringtone in my headset, also my phone vibrates but doesnt ring.
i wish there was an easy way to configure the settings cuz i would like for my phone to vibrate and ring out loud (im not always wearing my bt headset 24/7 when bt is enabled) and i want my headset to announce so and so is caling or the number if its not in my phonebook.
i also notice when in a call it announces who is calling in for call waiting which is cool
Ring and voice command
Not only those problems but, I have no options for voice commands. I can't set them up use them or even find a icon for them. I am also missing a lot of just standard options. There are no personal settings there is no where to Finnish the GPS setup. I am getting a little tired of running a rom that has absolutely nothing in it. I understand that you should be able to do more with a dcd rom but I don't understand how you are supposed to utilize these options when they have been forcefully removed from the OS. If anyone knows where I can pick up the stock voice command prog, the stock MSN messenger, and how to replace the missing personal settings tab and the slide sound tab. That would be helpful.

First of all, dcd's roms are meant to be cooked clean. That's why UC compatibility was added. Lots of people got excited when it was first added, but I've seen very very few people actually utilize it the way it's supposed to. Before I go on I have to ask...are you cooking your own rom using the kitchen, or are you using the precooked rom that is posted? If you're using the latter, then NOTHING besides the essential functions will be installed. It's a clean precooked rom and nothing else.
That being said, if you're cooking your own rom with the kitchen, there's a few things you should know...
Voice Command does not come stock with the phone. It's a third party application from Microsoft that costs roughly $40. There isn't an option for it in BuildOS, so unless you have it and you're installing it via a cab (the way I recommend), or through an OEM, then you will not see any options for it, as it is not installed. If you're referring to Voice Speed Dialer, that's a whole different program. There are no options for it. You have to manually record yourself speaking the commands.
Sliding Sound has to be added using BuildOS. If you're not checking it off prior to cooking the rom, then it will not be included in your rom.
I don't use MSN messenger, but I'm going to guess that Windows Live is what you're looking for? If so, Windows Live also has to be added using BuildOS.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say "Finish the GPS settings". Could you clarify?
As far as your personal settings tab goes, that is a valid problem and we would have to speak further in detail for me to diagnose it.
MS Voice Command: Definitive Guide Thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391262
P.S. had the same problem, got the 1.6.19209 version listed in that thread, now voice command talks right over the ring tone and I get the best of both worlds.
i dont use voice command really, but i noticed after the update that my phone no longer physically shows the contact or number of whos calling when my phone rings.
It just says
Verizon Wireless
Incomming Call
Then the rest of the box is blank.
Anyone know how to fix this? I didn't run the verizon cab, but with 3.1.2 i didn't think i needed to? Especially since it still says verizon wireless when people call, and i can call out/send sms

Please read more. All 3.1.x roms REQUIRE the carrier cab to be installed. It says it in clear text right on the first page of the kitchen thread.
ROM requires a carrier cab:
Alltel
Bell
Cricket
Iusacell

Can someone with DCD Rom 3.1.x and also MS Voice Command confirm if a bug is present? I have 3.0.4 and my wife has 3.0.1 and we both have the same issue with MS VC. Basically, if you use VC to set the ringer volume, you can not re-adjust it using the phone. So, turn off ringer using VC then try to turn it back on using the stylus. Verify that the volume is turned back on.
I simply can not turn the volume back on with the stylus. I can turn it back using VC no problem. Thanks.
I personally do not use Microsoft Voice Command anymore.
The reason is that it uses a lot of resources on my phone.
I did several customizations on my phone and have several apps installed and I roughly get 24 to 25 mb at startup. With voice command I get around 19 to 20.
I just rather use Voice Speed Dial that is in DCD's Kitchens. Yes you would have to program your voice to recognize the commands, but it does what I need it to do and it saves a lot of memory.

I have been using VC with all of DCD's ROMS and have not had a problem. I bought the package a while back but found an OEM that I use now. I works great when it does figure out what I am saying. LOL
I don't have any issues with setting the ringer by VC and then by stylus. I also don't have any issues using it through my BT headset. Make sure you have the right settings in the settings control panel with the icond Voice Command. Check out the options and notifications for each of the checked items. There was also a set of files to fix something a while back I have posted them here but you should do the search to find out what they fixed.

False Positive Voicemail on ATT

I'm using the TG01 and I keep getting a false positive voicemail indicator on the Titanium Home Screen. Calling and leaving a voicemail and deleting it does not work, calling ATT to have my voicemail reset does not correct the problem.
When you call into the VM ATT service from the phone to check your messages, it sends a VM control SMS to the phone, indicating that it is not being properly processed. Has anyone else seen this, or know of a problem besides a master reset - which is annoying b.c. this is the second time this has occured in three weeks.
Thanks!
Search for the tool HushSMS. I Had the same problem and did resolve it with HushSMS.
Isn't this the opposite of what we want to occur though? We are trying to hide network messages from the device not from those we send to.
No, with HushSMS it's possible to send a message to your own phone, that changes the SIM Setting and deletes the voicemails that are not there but which WM shows you.
Thanks that worked!
You're welcome
Although...on second thought - this makes it dissapear but does not prevent it from occuring again - was this the same result for you?
No, it occured never again.
Did it occur again at your phone?
Yeah it occurs again everytime I get a VM, bummer. What type of SMS did you send with Hush SMS?
Is there a way to officially set up ATT VM on an unlocked phone that I'm not following correctly?
The rom update Toshiba released recently did not correct this either as I had hoped. Any thoughts as to why these control SMS and MWI don't process correctly?
Removing the indicator with a Ping0 message in HushSMS is a workaround to parse the indicator but does not prevent it from occuring agian.
Anyone know how to fix this? Getting really irritating honestly.
Same here...
I am on Virgin mobile in the UK and I have the same problem, I got a voicemail this morning and I have deleted the voicemail but it still shows on my phone.
I have rebooted and its still the same
I have to use HUSH SMS to clear my voicemail indicator.
For me it's actually a problem on my sim card. After a flash there is this residual text message that says i have a voicemail. It's wierd.
Anyway, it's a MWI Disable command with HUSH SMS
Click Send MWI, Voice, Deactivate.
Also, you can mess with your windows mobile enabled friends by sending an enable

[Q] Issues with voicemail?

This maybe due to my "upgrading" SIM cards at T-mo earlier today, but my new Amaze is not allowing me to set up Google Voice or utilize the Visual Voicemail preinstalled features and keeps directing me to call 611. Google Voice sends back an error stating "Failed to retrieve and save current forwarding number settings." When I click on Voicemail Settings it looks bad. The page doesnt load up (ie appears greyed out, with a jumble of numbers at the top where my phone # should be. Anyone else having similar issues? My first guess is either an issue with Sense or T-Mo.
do you have wifi calling ?

No I dont see the app. At least like there was in myTouch4G, also no references to it in my settings menu.
my google voice works. it wasnt able to set up the forwarding numbers, but i always check my vm via the app anyway so. It downloaded all my vm and a test call was sent to my google mailbox

If you try to open VM Settings does it look normal, or is it all greyed out and the number all jumbled?
mines not greyed out. double check and run the setup a few times, maybe itll work through. mine said some error, but i dont have anything greyed out actually. i check mine with the google voice app itself, so i dont see it as an immediate issue (for me at least)
I went from the LG G2x to this device and I had GVoice on that. The voice app failed to set call forwarding options for me, too, when I first installed it on the Amaze4G but becuase they are subscriber specific with the carrier, and not the device it doesn't matter.
If you go through google voice web site and go through the settings you can get the call forwarding codes and dial it from the device and it will accomplish the same thing and work fine.
I was on the phone with TMO this morning about a network issue happening with my phone that's unrelated to voicemail. In investigating potential service issues they mentioned that Seattle and the surrounding area has a new visual voicemail system issue. It could be that. I'm not sure if that's specific to my location or if they rolled out something service wide.

Not getting missed calls?

Hey guys,
I'm with Vodafone (Australia) and lately I've been working in my garage a fair bit where I don't have reception. During this time numerous people have called me, however I don't receive any notifications of missed calls at all. And when I go into phone log it doesn't show any call logs.
Is this a setting on the phone or should I contact Vodafone to get this sorted?
Cheers
Good question Jonno. I'm also with Voda & honestly couldn't remember if this feature was working properly or not as I haven't missed a call for ages (people know not to call me at unsociable hours when I have the phone switched off ).
Soooo...I plonked my mobile broadband sim into my Nokia backup phone, turned my SGS2 to flight mode (to mimic not having coverage), called it from the Nokia & let it ring half a doz times then hung up.
Switched the SGS2's radio back on & haven't received a missed call notification (it's been almost 5 minutes). I've searched high & low thru my call settings & can't find anything that would turn such a feature on/off so I'm betting it's a network related thing. I'll update this post if the missed call notification comes thru at any stage tonight.
Yeah I've never got any missed call notifications with the phone. I have people trying to get on to me regarding some recent job applications so it's not very useful if I miss their calls and don't know who to call back!
Might try calling Voda tomorrow to see if they know anything about it...
Jonno...The thick plottens
I was ferreting around in the dialer/call settings & had a look at the call forwarding settings. Basically, forward when busy/unanswered/unreachable is set to that Voda number people who try to call you get when you don't answer & it asks whether you want Voda's "call catcher" to txt the person you're try to call to let them know they missed your call (with the number to call back on).
When I try to disable this feature on any of busy/unanswered/unreachable it tells me the network doesn't allow the feature to be turned off. So it seems Voda thinks their way of people being able to notify you by txt when you miss their call is the best way (only way by the looks of it) for this situation to be handled.
So I'd say people obviously haven't been choosing the option to send you a notification txt (via Voda's call catcher) and have simply been hanging up when they've been unable to reach you.
I guess the only way to get around this is to tell people to use the send notification txt option or to simply send you a txt themselves to say they tried to call & couldn't get you.
Unless you want to have fun calling Voda's uber helpful support ?
