my friend has an HTC and he has an app that is a voice notification app. for example, when he receives a text message, a very executive male voice comes up and says "Excuse me boss, but you have in incoming text." and it does similar things for phone calls and other such notifications.
does anyone know what I am talking about and where I can find that for my HTC Incredible.
Thanks

Zedge. Search for it on the Market.

I know that there call blocker apps that can answer/hang up or send the blocked call to voicemail. But is there a app that can send the blocked call to a special message. Something like the phone disconnected message. So the person would think that phone was disconnected and stop calling period or you can record your own personalized message for that particular number. This message would only be played for blocked calls and the regular voicemail message would be played for unblocked messages. Is this already an app or can someone develop it.

Great idea! I hope something like this can be done... Would be interesting if you could just set an mp3 as the receiving message or something. Very interesting indeed.
Sounds like a fun idea, maybe someone annoying keeps calling you and you set it to forward to an mp3 file of a message saying this phone line is disconnected... not a bad idea but right now i just add them to the blacklist and let it go to voicemail
I don't use this particular feature, but Extreme Call Blocker Droid can do this. As far as I can tell, the program works fine on my Nexus One (eventhough it says Droid in the name). Within this app, look at the "Pretenders" list for this feature. It comes with like dialtone, snoring and a few others by default (and you can add more).
Google voice does this.
When you get a voicemail from them add them as "blocked", next time they call, they get a "this number has been disconnected" message.
Thanks just what I was looking for.

Yep, the two best ones are made by the same company:
Root Call Blocker (for general use):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta
Call Master (for advanced users):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist
These are the only blockers that completely block everything without turning the screen on. Need to be rooted though.
I tried a few apps on the market but when I ring my Hero from a number which is not in my contact list it still rings. I can set any contact to go straight to voice mail so it seems logical that an app could be developed to do the same for any numbers not on contact list.
Anyone knows of such app which actually does it for our hero?
Anyone? There has to be some one who knows
I use CallFilter. It works pretty well, sometimes it'll ring one time real fast, then go to VM. Only probably I've found is that if I'm on the phone already, it cuts off my call.
Yeah, I tried it but unfortunately it still rings for calls which show a number. It only works if the call has no name in contacts or unpublished number.
So the idea is really to just send anyone to voice mail if they are not in your contacts. I figured that if they want to contact me they'll leave a message and if I like to talk to them next time I'll add their number to my contacts.
What ROM are you using? If it's AOSP you can long press the number in your call log and in the menu that pulls up you'll see an option to add it to blacklist but that requires missing/receiving a call from it first otherwise I've used call filter from the market in the past which seemed to work well

if you want the specifics, i am not the man that would be able to tell you. but i would think this is something tasker is capable of handling.
I'm using stock 2.1 with root and some mods.
Actually, the stock 2.1 comes with an option to send to voice mail for any contact. So what you can do is make a group and put all the numbers which annoy you with this option.
The problem with ALL apps which block is that they still either ring once or somehow silence and ignore the call. Either way the call still seems to come in on display. I'm not just talking about the notification but the front display. So it seems like all these apps deal with this in one way; they simply intercept it.
However, the feature which comes with stock 2.1 does this properly and only displays a missed call. The phone does not ring and the caller gets the voice mail immediately. So Sprint or Google did something else in how they handle this. It seems like there should be an option to just let it go straight to voice mail for any numbers not in the contact list or just let the damn thing ring
Still not able to find anything working properly for hero
Basically, I want to block calls, texts, etc from certain numbers but I'd like to be able to have the phone pick up for these numbers and play a pre-recorded message or audio file.
Basically I want to have it say the number is no longer in service etc.
I've seen some call blocking apps like this but I can't remember what they are called. Can someone point me to a good one?
If you're running sense, you can actually already blacklist numbers and have them sent straight to voicemail. For more control (or on non-HTC phones) check out mr. number. You can choose to pick up and hang up, send to voicemail, clear notifications for blocked numbers, etc.
As far as playing different messages goes, I would recommend setting up google voice and using it as your voicemail service. You can create groups and assign different messages to different groups or route spam callers to a "this number has been disconnected" message.
The Google voice thing though. DO you have to call in to hear your messages?
The thing I like about Sprint is there Visual Voicemail app, so I don't have to listen to EACH one, and I can see the name of the person it's from and delete or listen to as needed.

With Google Voice you have many options on how you want to hear your messages.
1. Listen in as they leave it.
2. Call in to your Google number to listen to them.
3. Use the Google App to view and /or listen to your messages
4. Go to google.com/voice to view/listen to your messages.
I am coming from a Dx and a DX2, wherein I could "block" or "screen" callers (i.e. send them directly to voicemail by selecting a setting in contacts).
Any way to do this on the charge? I don't see the option in contacts.

No, not ATM.. Once we get AOSP we will be able to do that with cytown Phone and wycontacts, which is included with CM... Which also happens to be the apps that I ported to GummyJAR / Liberty on the DX, which gave you those options
Other than that the only way I am aware of is hand out your google voice number and block callers from within the Gvoice app.
You can also download an app called blacklist that might do what you need

You could call Verizon and have them block a number. It won't send them to voicemail though, it'll seem like your number's been disconnected to them.
I use Extreme Call Blocker Droid from the Market. Works great.

Try root call blocker or Mr number both free from the market.
Typed with my thumbs via XDA premium app
I use the free app Call Control. Probably does the same thing as the ones recommended above.

Google Voice
You could use Google Voice. Set it up as your Voice mail. When set up it transfers all calls to your Google Voice but still rings through your regular number. I set up a Spam/Block contact. Once i Add the number to it, i have it set to block call.
Works great for me
Does anyone know of a way to have text messages read through Bluetooth? When I am riding my motorcycle I have slacker playing through Bluetooth to my helmet. Would like to be able to get text notification with sender and what the message says, so music pauses, then "message from X, message reads........, then music plays again.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Glenn
Tasker or similar apps would probably be the best way to go if you are willing to do the research to learn how to use it. But also, this is really not the right place for this kind of question.
Can't remember which one but it's evolve sms, yaamt sms or something similar has this option built in. If connected to x bluetooth read messages aloud.
