hi.
I wonder if there is any app to change the tune a caller hears when he calls me (instead of hearing the regular beeps until I answer, the caller hears a music/voice file).
This is something similar to the recorded message you hear when you call to any service provider, until they answer you.
I am not sure if this is technically possible but here is my suggestion of how this could work:
When a call arrives, the app "takes control" over the call, picks it up, and plays a song/mp3 file that I have chosen. Meantime, the phone at my end rings.
And then there are two options:
1.I pick up the phone, the app stops playing the file and lets me "take control" over the call
2.I don't pick up after X time, the app disconnects the call.
I am not sure how it is in another contries but in Israel this service is offered by most of the cellular companies. However, there is no possibility to choose your own file, you have to choose between a few songs available in their database.
I am sorry if this this post is in the the wrong section. If it is please transfer to the right place.
It can be done, but it would not work properly.
You would have to send data from your phone to another one, which means a call would first have to connect.
If you were to make it work, you would have to auto-pickup all calls and then play the message. It would cost people money
Uh. Not when the operator does not support this. At least not in a way that would not p**s the hell out of the caller by paying for listening to your music and eventually result in your paying the roaming charges in case someone listens to your music while you are abroad.

No, you can't. It's all in the hands of the provider.
Or is it just me?
While on a call, a incoming call renders all audio on both calls dead. Regardless if you answer, ignore or let go to VM, neither person can no longer hear any audio.
I have tried this in many different scenarios. I am using T-Mobile in the NYC area.
If anyone else is experiencing this, please respond.
UPDATE!!!!!
The "Viber" app I installed was the cause of the problem. Once I uninstalled it immediately fixed the problem.
me too.
Hi, I have the exact same problem. It is quite frustrating.
The only work around I have found so far is to go in to call settings -->additional settings and turn off call waiting. Which is also kind of annoying.
Does anyone have a more elegant solution? (like having the incoming call sound a beep instead of taking over my entire call and rendering the phone useless!)

kindly help me expert
Is there an App that you can use to record phone calls? If so whats the best one? Im looking for something where I can save a few voicemail messages I have.
Google Voice allows you to record conversations and as an aftereffect it will record voicemails if you choose. Just have to hit the keypad 4 to start and again to stop. It does say "now recording call" so both parties can hear it.
There's apps out there that do an excellent job, but find out first what the privacy laws in your state say regarding the recording of phone calls. Wouldn't want to get you in trouble.
And some phones will not record the other party, you have to use speakerphone to get their voice on the recording. You may want to check if two-way call recording is supported on your phone. I know - at least for the Evo - that the only workaround is to flash a kernel that has it enabled.

I use "record my call": nice app (and +1' the "beware of legal issues"!).
Tried: doesn't work on DesireHD root/CoreDroid 9.2. Only from speaker.
Anyone, can you point me to an App that can do 2 way phone call recording for my device (not from the speaker)? Please?

Is is truly unbelievable to me that in this day and age such an essential phone function could have been overlooked! I have been searching for days and days and found NOTHING or got stupid responses such as "use Google" (Online only, uses Data and for US Citizens only) or "use voicemail" (expensive cellular provider subscription add-on)... I mean, come on! When even the cheapest home phones can be gotten with built in answering machines, how come this essential feature is nowhere to be seen on android phones?
What's the deal, what's the technical hangup, what's the problem? Can anyone explain the REASON why there are NO call answering machine-like apps of any kind out there?

Im looking for the same thing and can't find it too!
Here is my need. I have a business phone number and my personal cell phone number. All my customers should call me to my business number which I can set to auto-forward to my cell only at the time I want to. But some of my customers know my cell phone number and they keep having this bad habit of calling me on it instead of my business phone number.
I'm looking for a app that will be tracking in the background the caller id number of incoming calls, if the number is a on list of unwanted that I have set, it will auto-answer, play an audio file recorded by me (like: "Please dial 111-222-3333 to reach me, thanks you") and then hang-up.
I don't feel alone with the need of a solution like this. And there are apps that can auto-answer call according to the caller id and there are apps that can play audio in a call, I don't see why it could not be technically possible to combine both.
wow
can't belive it, i was looking for the same and found several threads like this one, that's sad
let's hope sth comes up
Yeah, I used to have this function on my old fliphone from way back in 2002! Also, on my Windows Mobile phones after that...
Exactly. My nokia flip from ages ago (ran symbian OS) has an app on it called "Advanced Answering Machine" or "Advanced Call Manager" or something similar.
I could set it up so that it would direct calls to different greetings depending on the caller ID. An example of this is, I wont accept calls from "unknown" or "blocked" etc numbers. ACM/AAM would handle this perfectly. It would answer the phone, play the Telstra (thats a telco in australia) message "the number you have called is not available from this service." twice, then hang up. Later on I found out I was missing some important calls (the message confused some people such as the landlord who had a blocked number) so I changed it to "I do not accept calls from blocked numbers. To unblock your number, dial 1831 in front of your number. It wont cost you any more". This fixed the problem.
It was also programmed to answer calls after 30 seconds of ringing and play a standard greeting then take a message.
It was a very versatile program. I could (for example) divert certain calls to a party line if I didnt want calls from that particular number; however I didnt, as the diverted leg would cost me a fortune.
Its a shame on these advanced handsets today that such a simple, commonly available on landline phones, feature is not available. I can control televisions, fly remote controlled toys and vapourize components with a big bank of capacitors over bluetooth using my phone, yet it cant perform a simple answering machine function.
From what I hear the API that handles these functions is not directly accessable to developers; probably because "malware" could hook in and dial high priced premium calls and rack up huge bills all the while the phone owner not knowing until the monthly account comes in.
I did see one answerphone somewhere but it utilised the speaker so if it took a call (for example while your at the pub) the caller would not hear your greeting, or on the train everyone around you would hear your greeting and then the callers message, so not very practical. It would NOT work properly while the phone was on mute.
xperia phones come with buit-in answering machine feature. or use jail broken iphone and u have half a dozen apps which can do it.
unfortunately in android noway.. even if u r rooted.. no way
I have problems with this,when someone calls me, and when my phone is in my pocwt,when I reach to take him out and answer, phone automatically answer the call , I cant even see who is calling and I can decide if I want to answer or not..
This is how my settings looks if this is it..
in phone app to, auto answer is off but this not helping..
Check in the Game Turbo if the option Answer calls with out hands is disabled too.
???
Hi, did you ever get this sorted? I have the same issue
