I'm not sure what you mean about the first question, but I'll attempt to answer both. I don't believe there's an app that tells you when someone is on the phone, but sometimes (depending on carrier) there will be a beep after each ring that signifies the person you want to call is already on the phone. The other indication is a busy signal, your phone will hang up almost immediately after receiving it.
I believe almost all call rejection apps have the option to send texts to the caller once it has been declined. Search the market for 'call rejection' and download whichever one that doesn't require root.

Any Call Blocking apps that actually dont let the phone ring?

I have tried several and all let the phone ring before identifying and blocking the caller, has no one found a hook to get in before the ringing starts and hold of a ring until the caller is identified?
Thanks
Have you tryed Magicall?

Nope will contact them next. I have tried all the free apps out there and even registred one that I didnt find a demo for until its too late. All of the let the phone right for about 5 seconds, not exactly what I consider "call blocking". I contacted the one I purchased and here was their response.
Hello Richard,
SmartBlock uses two different ways to block incoming calls and SMS - one is
running at very low level of the system, so calls and SMS are blocked
unnoticeably as soon as they are received; while another runs at a higher
level that the phone may produce the first ring before a call or SMS is
rejected - in this later case the call may also be forwarded to the voice
mail, or produce the disconnect tone.
The program automatically chooses the one that works on your phone (low
level first then the higher one), the one that works is very much depending
on the OS on your phone, and there isn’t much we can do about it I'm
afraid.
Hope this explains the issue!
Best regards,

I have to say Magicall works! Not a peep or vibration from my phone on a blocked call coming in. Thanks for the tip!
Does Magicall work on 6.5? I have been using Call SMS Blocker but if I am on a call when the blocked call comes in it kills the radio and puts the current call on hold. If I can quickly get back to the call status screen I can take the call off of hold if not it disconnects.

For me my rule doesnt fire when I am on a call, but you should try the demo and find out for yourself. I am very happy with magicall.
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 have used Root call Blocker(Rooted user only) and its the only app where the calling party does not get to hear "User busy" which might give an impression that you intentionally disconnected the call. On the receiving end the phone will never ring.

+1 for call master, after a couple of duds, this one was good for me. not too advanced.
"SPC" or "private SMS & call" has a blacklist feature that will block calls and texts from numbers you put in to it.
Been thinking about one of these myself. Hmmmm
Can anyone say "Crazy ex-girlfriend"?

Hmm I use afirewall https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lianyun.afirewall.inapp nowdays (this question is a couple years old). It works quite well, it also requires root. It also does not turn on the screen when performing a block.
Whare can I download Magicall.. Because your link doesn't work. Plz tell me.

[Q] Incoming Call Replacement Application?(Samsung Vibrant)

I tried Incoming Call Plus Beta, and it was horrible, it would mix my contacts up when I was receiving calls. Is there another Incoming call app available? Because I am looking for something sort of like the iPhone when answering phone calls, instead of sliding left or right to answer the phone, because for some reason I sometimes do not answer the phone call because I do not slide/unlock the phone fast enough to answer, I want to be able to just hit answer, or end call/ignore, one button, any suggestions?

Try using Fullscreen Caller ID, it displays a full screen picture along with 'Answer' and 'Cancel' to replace the Sliding OPtioin of Samsung Vibrant
Not happy
Anything else ?
What you mention doesn't have the level of polish I am looking for.
Incoming call plus beta, available from the market.

[Q] Lost Incoming Call default settings - now Phone rings - but cant answer.

ok this is a weird problem
my own fault
phone is the OnePlus one obviously.
have been having ongoing small problem with the dialer, as i use DW dialer.
sometimes when i went to make an outgoing call the stock dialer would also load and i would have to push the call button twice.
small problem but annoying.
so i went into the settings>apps>phone
and cleared the phone setting >launch by default.
this has fixed the outgoing calls problem
however now when i have incoming calls it doesnt bring up the window to let me answer them. the phone kind of hangs while the incoming call is ringing.
i can get back to the home screen. but there is no way to answer the call.
so i need a way to reassign the incoming calls to the phone.
i dont get any notification on the phone itself. just the ringing phone.
there is no way at all to answer the call - cant swipe down.
the only thing i can do is wait for the call to end. then see who is in my missed calls and ring them back.
please help
cheers

I've been having this problem for a few days now. Phone rings but no UI for me to answer the phone call. Any solution to this yet? Thanks.
U have to tell which ROM u r using. There should be some option in settings for accidental phone wake up (Something like that), you have to disable that. Search in the settings.
I have updated to 5.1.1 but problem is its not showing the name when incoming call....only showing first letter of the name how can we find who is calling
I've just solved this problem on my phone - I'd blocked notifications from Dialler:
Settings --> App Notifications --> Dialler --> Deselect Block
Man!! This is a lifesaver. How come this solution is not available elsewhere. Thanks a lot!!!!
