[Q] Q: Push Call Function? - General Questions and Answers

Hey Folks!
First post here, and i'm only consumer. That first off.
I woul like to know, if in theory, it would be possible to create an App capable of this. It would be great to:
Enter Gmail account through desktop browser, access contacts, click on a phonenumber, click "Call with mobile" and my Android Mobile starts dialing the Number and activates the built-in Handsfree for me.
Would such a thing be possible? I think regarding the chrome to phone push service, also such a thing could be possible?
Would this be makable by anyone or does this need deep integrated coding work, so it would only be manageable by Google Labs?

It is possible to write a program like this, and I think anybody can do it, the programmer only need access to the contacts, but it's impossible to add a button to the contacts without the help of google

Google mail new option "Call"

Hi,
now that Gmail added (on the desktop version) the possibility to make a call to a land line in real voip, I was wondering if there was a way to use this "call" option directly from our Captivate.
I would like to be able to call people thru Google Voice without using my call plan but only use my data plan (I still have unlimited data).
Thanks
There is an app called Google Voice.

Thanks, for the info, I know that, but this app call you back and use your voice plan. I'm looking for a way to use a way do go full VOIP with gvoice like you can fin on your pc/mac when you open your browser on gmail.com a look under "chat" you will have a "call" button.
Try it
I think google is to afraid of alienating carriers, which would alienate manufacturers, to try that just yet.
Saw an article today describing how to setup Google Voice to allow you to transfer a call you receive via Google Voice to the Gmail Chat call function. However, it requires that you have Gmail open in a browser on your computer.
Overall it can save you some cell phone call minutes, but it may not be the solution you are looking for.

Why doesnt the google voice app do voice dialing?

I want to first say that I love the google voice search, when searching the web, the voice to text is excellent. Probably the 'killer app' for me on my phone. My question is why cant i get a simple thing such as Call Tom Jones at Home to work?
I say that & I the phone starts dialing some random person not in my phone book, it literally starts dialing some random company.
Considering how accurate it is on other areas of my phone, I dont get why this doesnt work.
I am using MS exchange & the built in email app, so my contacts are in the google contact app. I am also using CM 6.1 if that matters.
Any ideas would be great!
Thanks,
Rich
I have the same question, anybody could help?

[Q] Customize the Call aps in Android

Hi,
I would like to ask if it's possible to add, customize the Call apps and Contacts apps (which are default) in Android.
My idea is that when you open the Contact list, click on someone there, the screen will display information (Number, Call, SMS now) and I want to add another button under all, so that when you hit, it'll call the user via VOIP or do some function ...
Is it possible to customize the default apps? is there somewhere that I can have the source code of these apps?
What I really need is to add some more function into the Calls apps and Contacts apps but I really don't know where to begin it
Someone can help me?
Thanks in advance

Search App to send SMS via Webbrowser

Hi together,
I am searching for an Android app I can use to write and read my SMS via Browser/PC.
Should be very easy and simple and not oversized with the need to get too much access rights like e.g. pushbullet etc.
Would be great if someone would give some tipps for that
Thanks in advance

i was searching for a specific solution... found this post... figured i'd share with you what i've learned so far.
i've been using "sprint with google voice integration" for a year or so. it provides the ability to text via the google/voice webpage. but - while the google voice (full) allows you to use SMS, MMS, gifs / attachments, etc. - "the sprint with google voice integration" just allows you to do SMS.
so i was (and still am) considering switching to google voice (full) but it would cost me ~ $60 to get my phone number ported to google voice ($40 to sprint for activation of old phone to avoid losing subsidy on new phone and $20 to google voice).
i found this website which lists apps that you can use which (i believe all) receive the text on your phone then send it to the web and notifies you on the web browser if you have the webpage open. however, because i need to be able to send & receive messages when my phone is off, i think that the only option is google voice.

Is there a way to lock down a phone?

Hi,
I want to lock down a phone, so that:
- i have control over which applications can do data traffic
- which numbers can be called
- who can call
the first part's easy, root and afwall+ and that is that.
The part that right now has me stumped is the rest, I'd like to set something up so that only contacts from the address book can be called, and calls without caller ID get rejected. Also, no international calls at all.
I do not want to rely on "call barring" or the likes, that requires the numbers that are allowed to actually be on the sim card, which means I don't have the ability to add numbers to the list without having the phone in my hands... I was thinking I could use davdroid and an account on my nextcloud, then edit the contacts on the cloud web ui.
Is there a way to do it? The hardware in question is most likely going to be an older samsung. It can have lineageOS or stock samsung android installed, whatever is needed.
Cheers
