Call Waiting Question

Hi,
I'm using Blackberry 8520 for the frist time after being a loyal consumer of Nokia phones for almost 10 years. I was just wondering on it's call function, howcome I don't get to see that I am "on waiting" when I call someone who is engaged in another call and his Call Waiting function is enabled?
I would like this feature or function be enabled or present to know if I'm on Waiting rather than wait for them to answer so I can hang-up just in case the aprty I'm calling is on a call...
Is this something we can enabled or network related or what???
Hope to find answers here...

Hi benmarlowe6380,
This feature is not available in BlackBerry device. I know you're using this feature in other vendors device. In the mean time I can give you a tip to identify whether the person is already in call or not. If you (A) call B and it connects/rings almost instantly then the person in a call. But if the call connects/rings with slight delay then the call is not waiting.
I know this not a useful use to figure out call waiting but let us hope that some day it might be integrated in BBs as well.

HELP! Call waiting questions.

How can I end a call on hold without ending all calls?
How can I hang up a current call to accept an incoming call without ending all the incoming call and the current call?
Thanks

You're not really 'ending' the other call, but when you press end, it disconnects the currently active call. Your phone will look like there are no active calls, but within a few seconds, your phone will ring, and it will be the caller you had on hold. They aren't calling back, they think you just switched back to them. This is how CDMA networks handle call waiting, there is no 'Swap Call' button.
For your example, you would answer the 2nd call, tell them you'll call them back, then hang up. Your phone will then ring in a few seconds, and you'll be back talking to your 1st caller who will not know your phone just rang again.

Does anyone know if Blackberry has a call-waiting app similar to "Feel It" but with an audible ring tone instead of just vibrating?

Why doesn't my call waiting feature work AT ALL?

My call waiting feature does not work at all. I receive absolutely no alert when I am on the phone and have a second incoming call. My phone goes straight to voicemail for the person who is attempting to call me while I'm on the phone.

Em83, We know that every call is important so let's look into this together! When did this issue first begin? Any new updates to the phone applications or software? Please confirm the software currently loaded in your phone, as well. We'll . Please share details.

I don't hear the call waiting distinctive ring/tone??

Both my best friend and I have Verizon wireless. When i'm on a call and she calls me she can hear the call waiting distinctive ring however when i call her and she's on the phone i don't hear it.
My question is why is that possible?

Yes it does help. I really dont like it and i have been wanting to get that removed, the distinctive ring. I have searched to see if its possible and alot of information contradics one another.
Do you think eventually verizon will remove it permantely across the board?
I'm confused. In your OP you say you don't hear it. Now you say you would like it removed. If you don't want it AND don't hear it, what's the problem?

Call Waiting, Exchange Peak On/Off, Ring tone voly...

When are Nokia supposed to fix:
Call Waiting Error for Telia & 3 users in Sweden that appeared after 12070 update?
When do we get Peak On/Off when using Exchange sync?
Separate volym for Ringtone and other Media so you don't miss a call?

Pulling the battery is the only way stop it. It'll work normal for a while and then happen again. Known issue with the 5.0 software upgrade.

Phone keeps ringing on the caller's end - Is This a Call Waiting and Flash Button Problem?

I had FIos phone service installed 2 weeks ago. I am having a sporadic but regularly occurring issue with incoming calls that I think might be related to the Call Waiting and flash button so I am looking for some input. Before describing the issue here are a couple of things to know:
- I have my Verizon voice mail service turned off on my account.
- I have the call waiting function set to off.
- On my phone handset the Talk and Flash operation is the same button.
Now here is my issue. Often but not 100% of the time people are telling me that the phone just rings and rings on their end. After receiving many complaints since my Fios install that the phone rings and my phone answering machine does not pick up the call I have been calling my home phone number with my cell phone and I have determined the following:
1. My home answering machine will pick up the call, however on my cell phone which is the calling end the phone is still just ringing.
2. Sometimes I will press the talk button but there will be dead air but on my cell phone which is the calling end it will still be ringing.. But if I press the Talk/Flash button a couple of times the call completes.
Since my Talk and Flash button are the same I started to wonder if that is a factor so I repeated scenarios above and found that after pressing the Talk button a couple of times then the call is answered and the phone stops ringing on the caller's end.
I know that with Call Waiting the caller's end will just keep ringing unless the called end switches over with the Flash button. So my question is even though I have the Call Waiting function turned off could the combination Talk/Flash button be the reason why the call just rings on the caller's end even though I have Call Waiting turned off? And f this is the cause then why is it happening and does it mean that I have to buy a new phone that has separate Talk and Flash buttons?
I hope the above description of my problem makes sense and can be answered. Thank you

Without buying a new phone you can test this. Unplug the phone that has the combination button. If its a cordless phone base station with multiple handsets, make sure you unplug those as well. Then use a regular phone plugged in to do test calls (if you dont have one you could maybe borrow one for a couple minutes from a friend, family, or neighbor).

Call Waiting - Doesn't Stop Showing Disconnected Call

Hi, all!
I recently upgraded my phone to a Galaxy S4 and hoped a problem I noted on my earlier HTC handset would be cured, but it isn't.
I am on a call and take another call, which puts the first on hold. I finish the second conversation and the other party hangs up. The original call comes back on. Great. But...
Dialer still shows both calls
Dialer shows the disconnected call as the active call and clocks time against it
I cannot remove the disconnected call through any action
Does anyone know what is going on? Is this a dialer defect or a phone / network problem? Is there any non-standard dialer that fixes this?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!
- Mark

Same question, here... this is not something fixable with safe mode. The question is simple; once I answer the incoming call via call waiting, how do I hang up on that call and go back to the original caller who is on hold? I don't want to switch. I don't want to hang up on both.
Seems this is impossible, but should not be.
What are the steps to make this work?

I get it but it's the same beep as the call waiting we've had on landlines for 20 years. Plus, in all my years working with and troubleshooting mobile devices I have never had anyone ask this question.
For which I will say that I didn't have call waiting on my landline when I last had one over ten years ago and I so rarely get a call from two numbers at once on my cell phone that it isn't something that I recognize. The beep also sounds like one of my other notification tones for Google reminders I think that I easily can ignore it until the end of the call.

My call waiting isn't working. It beeps when I have another call, but I don't get any buttons to answer the call. What do I do?

OK
Do you have a question?
If so, then explain your issue in much more detail than "Problems with apps updates" and ask it

Call Waiting | Vodafone Qatar

Hi Experts,
I have enabled call waiting on my handset. However, others still do not get a call waiting. When I enquired this with my operator (Vodafone @ Qatar), they mentioned that it is only a handset feature.
What is the possible issue? Why cant people get a call waiting?
Regards,
Ajay.

skaiser225, we don't want this to be an ongoing problem for you! Have you powered your device off/on since this issue started? Are you currently internationally traveling or is your device roaming?

After installing 6.0.1 on my iPhone 4 I no longer get notification when another call comes in when I'm on another call. In phone settings I no longer have the icons for call waiting and call forwarding. My carrier is sprint

I no longer get notifications that another call is coming in when I'm on the phone. In the settings under phone I do not see any availabilty for call waiting or call forwarding. I had this feature before installing the new update 6.0.1.

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

I have an Iphone5s and use Verizon. Frequently when I am on a call, it sounds like there is an incoming call which does not show up in either call waiting or missed calls.

I have an Iphone5s and use Verizon. Frequently when I am on a call, it sounds as if there is an incoming call but it does not show up in call waiting or in missed calls. When I went to check on line, the fix involved a screen that I did not even have on my phone. Anyone else have this problem and is there a solution? I can't seem to get tech support at Verizon. Boo.

Hi Debsy1,
Thanks for the additional details! Let's get this issue resolved. What software version is the device on? Please reset the Network Settings on the device. Go to settings>general>reset>reset network settings. Please Note: Audio alerts may also indicate delivery of incoming text messages or emails. The tone will vary based on the type of information being delivered to the device. Tones may also indicate low battery charge or inadequate signal strength. Keep me posted with results.
Thanks,

Upgrade to IOS 6.1 - all incoming calls come in as a call waiting call when there is no other call going on, and it won't let me actually answer the call.

I upgraded my AT&T iPhone 4 from IOS 6.0.1 to IOS 6.1 on Monday evening. It completed successfully overnight and everything looked good on Tuesday morning until I received my first call. When the phone rang, the screen showed the typical 'call waiting' screen, asking me if I wanted to 'End Call and Answer', 'Ignore Call', or 'Hold Call and Answer'. Using any of the selections still does not allow the call to be answered. It takes a hard reboot to clear the call.
If I make an outgoing call, the phone hangs on the 'End Call' portion. It shows the button being pressed and that it is ending the call, but it doesn't ever end. It also takes a hard reboot to clear the call.
So, I have tried hard reboots of the phone, without any success. Last night, I tried to reset the phone to factory settings and restored my phone content from iTunes. Unfortunately, I still was having the issue. I have also tried restoring the Network Settings, and that did not work as well.
Has anyone seen any similar behavior and have any advice?
Thanks

A brief and probably non-helpful answer: I know of no way to eliminate your large amount of duplicates other than by repetitive, tedious manual effort.
*There has got to be a simpler way.*
I hope you're right, but I don't think there is a simpler way.
BACKUP: It also appears that the only way I can back up the catalog is to shut down LR. Really?!
Yes, really
