Hey guys!
The NS is my 2nd Android phone, the first being the Epic 4G for about 3 weeks (no signal in home ).
Anyway, one of the cool features of the Epic was that when an incoming call came in, you had 3 options:
1) Answer/take the call
2) Send caller directly to voice mail
3) Send caller an automatic text response (it offered some common replies, as well as allowed you to customize your own text responses in its settings).
I don't know if this was a Samsung feature, or an Android 2.1 feature, but I was wondering if there was a way to set this up on our NS's, or if there's an app that offers something similar to this?
Thx!

Yeah, that's what I was a afraid of - too bad, as it's an awesome feature! Do you know of an app that can do something similar? Thx
Back on 2.1 if you hit the power button it would silence, and if you slide to reject it would send to voicemail immediately.
I'm not sure if it's still like that as I've been on CM for quiet a while now, and those were changed.

Currently i recieve lots of texts, i've noticed that I can not reply straight away when my text messages are set to show like a conversation because my htc hd 2 has to load all the texts. I was wondering if someone could make a tweak where it only showed the last 5 or 10 messages so i can reply instantly
Yes. 2nd that. That is the only problem with HD2 now for me
would appreciate this too
I've had a quick look at the registry, but couldnt find anything useful.
I dunno if its set in a manila-file or in the messagingapplication itself.
Would be nice to tweak this...
+1 to this feature,
with my HTC P3600 I had sms routing and it only showed the 10 last messages,
if you wanna see older messages you could press, 'see history',
+1 . will be great that tweak
Awesome, glad to see some people agree! I have no idea how to do it so...

One way to overcome the delay until a fix comes out, is as soon as you open the conversation, click 'send' and a warning window pops up asking if you want to send a blank text, select 'no' and there you have the whole conversation loaded instantly. Plus I noticed last night when I disabled the sense ui and installed Spbmobile shell 3.5.2, the Htc messaging app will still take a while to load the conversation but at least you can type out your reply while its doing it.

Oh i see, thanks! I will try the blank text thing for now
I tend to read my sms from manila then click the "new sms" icon and basically write a new sms rather than clicking reply. Until a fix is found I have found this the quicker way to reply to sms.
Just as soon as you open the conversation, click 'tap here to compose' and you'll be able to compose. But be quick
Why should we work on things that HTC is supposed to FIX [email protected]!$

Hi there!
We are two developers who have been following xda for a long time,
We are happy to announce a new kind of Application on Android Market and want some suggestions and testing by xda community!
This is the App's description:
Andro+ Call Backgrounder provides you an important feature that Android System lacks!
CallBackgrounder lets you put in background an incoming call simply by pressing a button!
How many times you were watching a video, playing a game or reading email/website and an Incoming call disturbed your actvity?
With CallBackgrounder you can return to the last app you were using by putting incoming call in background!
The caller will never notice about your action, the incoming call will continue in background and you will be free to carry on whatever you were doing and maybe later answer/reject.
You can find filters based on contacts and apps that let you ACTIVATE CallBackgrounder ONLY for some contacts or running apps.
New Feature: Shake Detection, if activated Popup will be displayed ONLY if you shake your phone!
DON'T FORGET to watch sample video that you can find in Android Market page! Or just go to: http://tinyurl.com/androcallbg
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NEW FEATURE: Tiny Layout and Shake&Background, watch them on last one screenshot or directly on Youtube: http://tinyurl.com/androcallbgnf
Now You can use non-invasive Tiny Layout on TOP of your existing CallScreen Layout! Tiny Layout is not a Popup but ONLY one button!
So what are you waiting for? Try out the app and let us know your opinions!
What's new:
What's new? Andro+ Call Backgrounder becomes Andro+ Call Manager introducing new options, now you can place your incoming call in background and/or reject your incoming call and AUTO-Recall the caller!
*) ON SALE! For limited time!
*) Version 1.6.5 solved a bug when placing in background call on some devices
*) Solved bug: no restore ringer settings on call ending, thanks to Stefan
*) New Name new functions!
*) Fixed Anonymous call bug
*) New Feature: Tiny Layout (that you can see in the second screenshot) and Shake & Background function
*) New Feature: Shake Detection, if activated Popup will be displayed ONLY if you shake your phone!

I was hoping more along the lines of being able to press the home/back button or something to put the call in the background. I like the stock slide to answer/reject calls method.

How does something like this correspond whit apps like Go Dialer ?

Thanks for replying, unfortunately Android System blocks Home Button so we can't override it!
But if you want something less intrusive you can use the "Shake Detection" function that let you activate the Popup ONLY by shaking the phone during an incoming call.
Any other feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
We have just tried it with Go Contacts/Dialer and with Video Caller Id
and it works great with them.
We appreciate any further opinions,
There's a way to press "home" during a call and talk to the person in the background while using your phone otherwise, similar to what the iPhone does. If it's not what the "send to background" option does, any way to add a "pick up but put in background" option?
Hello what is called that application in second screen that gives you the control over wifi etc.

Hi, its not really an app...Its sort of like a control widget hard-coded into the status bar...Most custom ROMs come with it installed...
Can you add new feature please , it's (Recall) to redial the caller
android market always gives me a hard time because in my country these apps are not available for download.
Could someone post an apk or download link plz ,thank in advance

Thanks for suggestion,
Can be good an option that allow you to have a notification (in notification bar) to recall your missed call (that you've previously placed in background) by pushing it?
Something like missed call notification but when you press it, it will re-dial your contact?
Let us know,
Thanks,

Hey folks,
Many of you have downloaded and tried Andro+ Call Backgrounder, how it worked? Did you like it?
If you write here your feedback we can improve it!
Thanks to all.
Just tried the demo and so far so good. I just have one suggestion for now. For people who want to use their own dialer to answer/reject calls, can you make the "shake detection" automatically put the call in the background? It's kind of annoying to shake the phone then have to press the background button.

We've just added this features to Andro+ Call Backgrounder,
Update is on Android Market,
more details on first page of this Thread,
I'm looking for app that would completely ignore and send specified calls to background immediately ("don't answer" mode, not "reject"), so i do not even know i've been called. No ring, no vibration, no screen wake up when phone is asleep and not a single one notification when it's awake. Is it possible with root?

Seems possible, however, while the phone is asleep it may not be possible to check the number then background it before the screen awakes and/or rings. Backgrounding certain numbers automatically is definitely doable though.
Hi,
we need this app so bad ,, and the version in market is buggy ..
why development is stooped ?
any news
Anyone please
Does anyone know how I can replicate the sense function of putting the phone face down to silence the phone during an incoming call? I'm not using a sense ROM any more so would like to add this feature with tasker.
take a look right here man
I've seen that already thanks, but the apps available to do it start ringing again as soon as you turn the phone back over. On sense however it stays in silent until they've stopped trying to call. That's what I'm trying to replicate, hence why I'm wanting to do it in tasker since it's customisable.

Nop u won't get that features sorry mate.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
If sense could do it then tasker should be able to too, if I knew how to do it of course!
Does anyone know how I could do this with tasker?
I have the following, just made it for you, it's rather simple:
Create a profile, name it like "Turn Down"
Add the State->Orientation:Face Down
Add the task u want to(Silence phone, block calls etc) And done.
Cheers, I'll have a look but I think when I tried last there was no option for it to only silence the ringtone for that one call. I'd actually forgotten about this thread, so I'll have another look.
Just looked again and remembered why I couldn't do it. I can't find any options to choose orientation.
Im about to be coming from the Galaxy S5 side of the world. My brother got a OnePlus One and made me want to get one so he just gave me his invite.
Only thing that may bug me, is the notification pulldown where the phone info sits when you are on a call. I use my S5 heavily, almost exclusively for work. Im on 5-7hrs of conference calls a day on this and I heavily use the notification pulldown to hit mute/unmute many times. I know when I had a Nexus 5 that this was not possible. All it had was an end call button. I attached a screenshot of what my S5 shows. It shows options for speaker, mute, and end.
Any way to modify the stock ROM somehow to allow for this? Or better yet if there was a way to maybe set the volume button (say if both up and down were pressed together) that you can mute the call and again press it and unmute. Coming from a Blackberry about 2-3yrs ago, this is the biggest button I miss (don't get me wrong, I don't miss the Blackberry AT ALL). I just find both Apple and Android devices haven't fully got into the business side like how Blackberry at a dedicated mute button.

Check out 3rd party phone dialer apps. There's some good ones that I'm sure have this ability. I don't remember the name though.
But the stock rom have all these options that you want !!!! When you call sb, there is option to mute, speaker, end call etc.
You have all these and more has icons at the bottom of the dialer screen when you are in a call.

He wants it under notifications, not on the call screen. I guess he multi tasks while he talks on the phone?

That is correct, Im on conference calls a lot, like 6-7hrs a day. I check emails in the middle at times or have documents up to read on the phone when Im not in front of the laptop. With the Galaxy you got the options right in the pull down like the screenshot shows to Mute/Unmute the call without having to go back into the Phone dialer. I don't think Ive seen this on even on HTC/LG, I know its not on the Google Play versions, so that somewhat really put me off when I got a Nexus 5 and then couldn't deal with it on being able to quickly mute/unmute, so ended up giving it up and moving back to the Galaxy line of phones.

Hi...
I finally got the phone 3 days ago, but noticed that when i get incoming calls i can't use the phone untill the call ends or untill i answer it, what stopping me from playing / writing messages of even use Facebook app untill: 1. I answer the call. 2. I ignore the call, and wait for the other person to hang up.
I had other phones that i could just press the "Home" button and continue with my things.
Is there any solution for that?

I can't find the dialer in playstore, i downloaded from apkmirror and i can't install to my phone. Maybe can y help me?
Ahh yeah you need a specific one. This works well
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/themes/app-root-google-dialer-10-1-161735957-t3636608
grab version 17 or newer
Great thanks
But the problem is that i think i have to root the phone, because even after installing the latest version and allowing permissions to the Dialer app i still get the calls from the default HTC original dialer.. Im using the last version (17)

you need to go into app settings and make google dialer the default phone app
Iv'e put the dialer as default everywhere also in the app category, it still only shows the calling icon on top of the screen, also won't show any contacts names when incoming calls..
Did you got this to work in your phone perfectly?
Aren't there any other apps that can be used instead?

Yes it works perfectly.
Set as default, enable all permissions for it and it will work fine. Plenty of us are using it without any issue. What do you mean by "only shows calling icon on top of the screen". That sounds like the google dialer which is what it is supposed to do and not take up the entire screen.
I don't know, it just wont work properly on my device, i did all what you said above and restarted the device and still.. i only get the icon on the notification bar at the top of the screen when call enters.
I gave up and downloaded "Drupe" - wonderfull app really does the job well and also looks great (cost me about 4$ - worth it), better than the default HTC's app.
Thanks for the help!
You have to go into setting>application>Phone>application>Phone application, select the app you installed, then you may see the different calling screen when you call someone / receive a call. (not a football fan so installed normal v17)
