Problems with call forwarding setup

I just got an iPhone and it's great, except for one annoying problem with the call forwarding behavior.
With my old RAZR phone (also on AT&T) I had two choices when turning on forwarding, "forward immediately" or "forward when unavailable". I used the second choice and had forwarding turned on all the time. Calls would go to the cell phone first but then forward to my home number if I was on another call or didn't answer after a couple of rings. That behavior is important because I want all voice messages in the same place, on my answering machine at home, regardless of whether my cell or home number was called (so I want to deliberately bypass AT&T's voicemail system).
However the iPhone seems to only have the "immediately" behavior, which means I don't have a chance to answer a call on the iPhone before it forwards, and the iPhone doesn't even log it as a missed call. The forwarding setup is stored in AT&T's system so it seems like the capability should be there regardless of the type of phone, and this is just an arbitrary user-interface restriction with the iPhone. Anyone know how to work around this and get the "forward when unavailable" behavior?

Jason -
Thanks, this did the trick. The instructions under the section for "former AT&T Wireless customers" worked perfectly (perhaps because I am actually a former AT&T Wireless customer; I've had the number for almost 6 years, since before the merger with Cingular). Anyway, I dial 61xxxxxxxxxx# (xxx = the number to forward to), make the call, and a confirmation message appears on the screen; now the forwarding is working just the way I like it.
Thanks again!

Problem with call forwarding. Calls can not be forwarded for incoming external calls

Hi Everybody, how are you?
I have a problem with call forwarding. Everything was fine but now is not working.
In the reception of an office, the receptionist activate the call forward option to an internal extension. If somebody, internal in the office, call to the reception, the call is forwarding to the extension configured. But if I call from the outside (in example, from my cellphone) the call is not forwarded to the extension configured and continue ringing in the reception phone. Why this behavior? Any idea?
If you know something please tell me.
Thanks. Best regards.
Andres Collazos.

I encounter a similar problem with 9.1.1.
My problem is link to this bug ID : CSCtq10477.

Problem with call forwarding and "call divert"

I have been receiving calls lately and a dialogue box pops up and says "fowarded call" with a button that says "dismiss" - I'm not sure why or how to disable this. in my settings I have call forwarding turned off. Also when I make calls I sometimes see messages saying something about call forwarding active or active diverts. Again I have call forwarding turned off and I see no settings for divert. How can I fix this?
Thanks.

i am having a similar problem. I have a Pearl 8100 with T-Mobile. I've had it for almost two years (since Jan. '07). About four weeks ago, this problem started. I have a landline office phone through AT&T, and when I leave the office, I forward this land line to my Pearl. When someone calls my office after hours, on nights and weekends, the problem is that instead of the person's name and phone number showing up on my caller ID, my Pearl shows that I am calling myself from my own cell phone! I don't get "Private Number" like you get, the caller ID shows that I am calling myself!
I've spent six or seven hours with T-Mobile tech support, with five different tech people over a period of several days and several phone calls, and they can't figure it out; their final and "best" answer is that it's a blackberry problem, that the issue has been addressed and identified as a "known issue" and a "trouble ticket" has been created. I contacted RIM and they directed me to their archived troubleshooting and to this forum, so I still don't have an answer. And T-M had no answer when I told them that this feature worked just fine from Jan. '07 through Aug. '08. T-Mobile offered to put me into a different device, the T-Mobile wing, which by fair assessment, looks like a piece of junk, and it's window's mobile, which is even worse. I rejected this option.
I'm hoping someone can solve this. One friend of mine thought that it's a network issue, any issue with caller ID would be with the network, not the phone or its software...this makes some sense to me...and one of the techs at TM thought that this could be the issue as well. As T-M upgrades its networks to 3G, these bugs are popping out. who knows, I'm sticking with this Pearl and 8100 for a little while longer, b/c I am waiting to see if an answer shows up somewhere on one of the forums, but I hate not knowing who's calling before I answer the phone!

Problem with Port Forwarding in WRT320N

Good day.
I have a web-server and Internet-radio translator to local network of my provider. And I found a problem with Port Forwarding. I'm trying to setup 80 & 8000 ports to forward. And it's working but only for Internet, without provider's local network. My web-server isn't accessible in local network and radio-translator too.
So is it possible to forward ports absolutely - for any type of connections?
P.S. DMZ is working like Port Forwarding.

If you ask questions you have to mention that you have an PPTP connection to the internet and another network directly on the internet port. Otherwise noone will really understand your question as it is a very unusual setup.
Your setup is not one really supported by the router. You are lucky that it works but don't expect too much. Port forwarding only the internet connection. If you use PPTP the network on the internet port is basically hidden. Using that local network on the internet port is not supported.
The DMZ host is the IP address to which all ports are forwarded to which are not forwarded otherwise. The same restriction applies here.
I would recommend to ask your ISP which router they recommend for their internet connection. I think most/all Linksys routers and many other brand's consumer routers won't really support a setup like yours...

Problem with calling on some numbers

Hi my mum has problem with calling on my number. She is in the USA and has a lof of money on her Skype account. When she was in Poland (country when I am now) she could without any troubles calling on my number.

Problem with Call Transaction opt-RACOMMIT = 'X'.

Hello Experts
I am having a problem with call transction. I am calling a Z transaction in function module. Within the Z transaction I am furhter calling some function modules and doing commit work and then some more processing after the comit work inside So to make sure the code after comit work is fired I am using opt-RACOMMIT = 'X' in call transaction. Whenever I set this parameter opt-RACOMMIT = 'X' call transaction fails and gives error saying No batch Input data for screen XXXX. However the Z tcode processed succesfully.
By changing the Mode to E i found that it remians at the last screen of call transction after executing the Z transaction and never comes back
But if I donot use RACOMMIT = 'X' everything is fine. Please let me know if anyone came across such problem. Any help will be apreciated.
Thanks,
kamal

Hello,
as you said, if there is more than commit statement in your ztransaction, then you should put RACOMMIT to 'X'.
I think the problem is in your bdcdata: change it to be sure to get back to the 1st screen of your ztransaction. Then, at this point (1st screen) hit "back" button.

Problem with calling onApplicationStart() method

Hi all,
     I have a problem with calling application.cfc's methods from coldfusion template. The problem is like when i am calling "onapplicationstart" method inside a cfml template i getting the error shown below
The onApplicationStart method was not found.
Either there are no methods with the specified method name and argument types or the onApplicationStart method is overloaded with argument types that ColdFusion cannot decipher reliably. ColdFusion found 0 methods that match the provided arguments. If this is a Java object and you verified that the method exists, use the javacast function to reduce ambiguity.
My code is like below.
Application.cfc
<cfcomponent hint="control application" output="false">
<cfscript>
this.name="startest";
this.applicationtimeout = createtimespan(0,2,0,0);
this.sessionmanagement = True;
this.sessionTimeout = createtimespan(0,0,5,0);
</cfscript>
<cffunction name="onApplicationStart" returnType="boolean">

<cfset application.newvar ="saurav2">
    <cfreturn true>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
testpage.cfm
<cfset variables.onApplicationStart()>
I have tried to call the above method in different way also like
1--- <cfset onApplicationStart()>
i got error like this
Variable ONAPPLICATIONSTART is undefined.
2---<cfset Application.onApplicationStart()>
The onApplicationStart method was not found.
Either there are no methods with the specified method name and argument types or the onApplicationStart method is overloaded with argument types that ColdFusion cannot decipher reliably.

Please help me out.

Saurav

You can't just call methods in a CFC without a reference to that CFC. This includes methods in Application.cfc.
What are you trying to do, exactly, anyway? You'd probably be better served by placing a call to onApplicationStart within onRequestStart in Application.cfc, if your goal is to refresh the application based on some condition:
<cffunction name="onRequestStart">
     <cfif someCondition>
          <cfset onApplicationStart()>
     </cfif>
</cffunction>

My sister had a problem with call volume being too low on the iPhone 5S. Is the iPhone 6 louder? Is anyone else feeling that call volume on iPhone 5S isn't loud enough?

I personally haven't experienced much of the "reverberation/feedback" when using a headset on the i4S...
Yes, I have near-perfect hearing too (for scope, squeaky brakes hurt my ears) I come from many conversations on many phones and types and first off, CDMA technology is great for coverage, terrible for voice quality. HD Voice in Europe made for some of the best phone conversations I've ever had.
Back on track, feedback is most noticable (similar to the landline phone) when using the iPhone without a headset, but for me it's not an absolute criticality mainly because I use VoIP apps alot, so maybe it has desensitized me some over the past year.
But whenever I'm on a call, and the other person has me on speakerphone, I have alot of trouble talking because of the feedback loop caused. So the less of my voice I hear the better I can talk.
Have you tried a bluetooth headset yet?

Problem with Audio MIDI Setup using multiple accounts

I'm having a problem with Audio MIDI Setup recognizing all of the MIDI devices on a G4 Tower with a non-administrator account. The main administrator account has no problem seeing anything, but the non-admin account won't see anything. Does it all have to be added in manually, or is there a preferences file to copy over that will take care of this. Failing that, is it a problem with file permissions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't know whether this of any help, but there's an identifiable issue with AMS and Digital Performer 5 where DP5 simply won't load with AMS setups configured with previous versions of DP. Which is probably irrelevant to your problem, but ...
What I and other DP users have found we have to do is start with a completely new, blank AMS setup, and reconfigure our devices from scratch, and although this was kind of hit and miss and on the fly (don't really understand what the the issue was, exactly), I think the bottom line was if we used the new AMS setup with DP5 before anything else that might cause its data tables to change, we were ok.
So if you can do it, it might be worth setting AMS to a new blank template, then connecting your interfaces, see how far you get. And always make sure you've got the latest drivers of course, though I'm sure you've done that.
Never used Mbox or 410, but I've an Ozonic which I think uses the same M-Audio firewire drivers as the 410, and don't have any problem with that, FWIW.

Anybody out there having similar problems with call pickup Groups?

Hi,
Did you meet any other call delay when you using Lync?
As the issue happen for Lync desktop client, it can be performance issue. Please check if there is any error message from FE Server when the issue happen.
Also please check if you have updated Lync Server to the latest version, if not, update it and then test again.

I find this,
Before restoring:
Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes. [How? I am not past selecting a network.]
Back up your device. [Do not know how, again, I am not past selecting a network.]
Transfer and sync content to your computer. [Hooked up the USB cable and nothing happens.]
Restoring your iOS device
Connect your device to your computer. [Hooked up the USB cable and nothing happens.]
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices. Select the Summary tab, and click the Restore button. [iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices, is it in Control Panel. I looked in Device Manager and so only drivers etc.

Problems with calls and Answering Machine

I have a problem with calls on my Z3 dual and the Answering Machine after the update to L.I don't have Smart Answer enabled -gesture to answer calls- but when I answer a call too close to the time set to the Answering Machine to kick in, when the call reaches this time (say 25 seconds) the call will be interrupted for about 2 to 5 seconds where I can't hear the other party and they can't hear me, and then the call will resume.If I disasble the answering machine, this bug is gone.I have cleared data of the phone app but still this issue persists.

I suggest that you try to repair the phone software using PC Companion..
Before repairing your device you may want to backup your information first. Check out this topic for more information on how to.
How to backup?
Let us know if the problem persist after you've repaired the software.

New 4s connects with bluetooth in my Lexus, but I have intermittent problems with calls. I can hear them, but they can't hear me. Never did this with 3gs. Anyone else have this problem?

New 4s connected to my Lexus bluetooth. Having intermittent problem with calls. I can hear them, but they can't hear me. Never a problem with 3gs phone. Anyone else having this problem?

I ended up getting a new phone, straight through Apple. I called their technical support and went through all he basics again and they decided to replace it. Was a pretty quick process - after defaulting and resetting the whole phone (about 2 hours), I called them back to inform that there was no change, so they set up the order.
I had to give my CC# so they could hold a charge on it (in case I didn't send my old phone bach, which they sent me a pre-posted package to send it in anyway). Had a brand new iPhone 4S in my hands in 4 days, which was pretty decent. I had uploaded everything previously to iCloud, so setting up the new phone was a snap.
Only thing I really didn't like was they charged me almost 30 bucks for shipping or processing, or something. Not so sure that should have been my responsibility after spending so much on a brand new product, only to have to have it warrantied after, like, a month.
