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.

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.

How would I achieve this? Im fully rooted running the Sprint lovers rom. I have a custom font flashed along with my lcd density modified. The combo of the 2 makes the Sense bar look horrible. I managed to delete the sense lockscreen and it automaticly reverted to the vanilla one which is what I want. Can some one please help me to achieve this outcome on the incoming call screen. It is the only thing between me and having my Evo the way I want it.

From what I understand, I don't think it can be done. I would LOVE if there was a way to do this but I believe it is coded into the framework and it can't be removed. That's my understanding of it. Too bad
That would be good... if its possible JS would prolly be the 1 to figure it out....

Not possible with sense..the lock screen can be changed to the aosp lock screen but that doesn't remove the Htc incoming lock screen, its tied to the dialer

speaking of the sense incoming call screen, how many other people have the problem where maybe 20% of the time the screen won't respond to input and allow you to unlock or answer the call? This is pretty much the only thing that ever goes wrong with my phone lol. I end up having to just hit the power button, miss the call, and then call them back...a little annoying

I have the same issue. One of the only issues I have with my phone. The other being sliding out of my pocket answers/declines calls. Thus looking for a way to remove the slider. Guess we are stuck.
^^^ I have the same problem... doesnt happen too often, but it is annoying. Could this be due to a phone call coming in when CPU is running at a minimun setting?
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.

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

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.

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.

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
The notification and call volume are the same. It has been the case ever since ICS and the only way to over come the issue is to use a custom rom, even rooting doesn't do anything to over come it.
I always sleep with phone on silent but I have started missing important unknown calls and was thinking that I should just keep my notifications silent when sleeping. So how do I do that on a nexus? Well I can't lol. Even if I select silent ring tone for notifications in the settings some apps like whatsapp have their own notification tone setting and will over ride whatever you have selected in settings. So basically I need to change the setting for every app everyday lol.
Now with iOS 6 even iPhone gives you higher control over notifications than stock Android. In the day of increased push services and what not a smartphone really needs to offer robust control over all this.

"Stock" on a SIII would mean TouchWiz, wouldn't it?

He already said that making the phone silent made him lose important calls. He sure doesn't want it to be switched off
I used an app called volume control in the past to control notification and ring tone volumes individually. There's a free version on the play store. Give it a try

Solution to every problem out there. Go spend that $6. It's totally worth it.
I think a much bigger problem with vanilla android is the lack of a T9 dialer. This is one of the most useful and important features on a phone for me and i don't think there's any way to fix this without a custom ROM.
I wish google would just add this and get it over with. I see no reason why they haven't already done so.
i have no idea if the stock from has this feature but im running paranoidandroind 2.54 on my gnex and there is a option to link ringtone and notifications together or have them separate. But even before using this rom i remember when you go to setting->sounds->Volume you can change ring and notifications separately.

there's ton of apps that let you "personalize" sounds and led notifications if you just look for them in the play store not to mention the countless roms that include these features. no need to start insulting people because of your ignorance.

You can get t9 with third party dialor you don't need custom rom or even root for that. I use touch pal contacts its a brilliant app and you can theme it as well. The best thing about android is that you can change default system apps.
And people I have used several profile applications but all of them are riddled with bugs. The more powerful an app is the more bugs it seems to have. And some of those bugs can be so severe its not even funny. Like one of these apps "profile scheduler" would sometimes disconnect my network after a phone call lol wut.
However of course I am not giving up I am searching for apps that can unlink the notification and ring tone volume and seems like some of the devs have been able to do it now.
I am rooted btw so I will look into the recommendations put forward by a few posters.

Because Samsung was never stupid enough to link the notification and ring tone volume. Bleh android oem's can be good at times lol.
I am also amazed at the blocking mode in jelly bean galaxy S3. I would like to see Samsung add profiles to blocking mode but in any case it trumps every other phone in terms of the sheer control it gives you. I have realised it really is better for such critical features to be built in instead of using an "app".

I had a ROM, don't remember the specific one at this moment, but it had the convenient option of swiping down to answer phone with speakerphone. This was in addition to regular option of swiping right to answer and up to reply with SMS.
Is there a way to add this in?
