I did a little googling on this & came up with nothing but call blocking subjects.
So I thought I'd ask the question here.
Has anyone come up with a way for your phone to automatically google search the number of an incoming call (that is not already in your contacts list)?
We've all let an unknown number go to voicemail before calling back, a liitle info while the phone is ringing would speed things up!
Well, kit Kat...it's a start!

I'm looking for a way to identify unknown callers. I know that there are standard apps for these, but none of them seem to fit what I'm looking for.
One of my buddies showed me a setup that he had on his g1 awhile ago. What would happen is an unknown call would come in. He'd click the hangup button. The call would route somewhere and then back to his phone with the number and sometimes the name if the number was in the contacts list.
To test the setup I blocked my number in network settings and then called him. It showed unknown, he hung up, a second later my name and number showed up. From my end I heard no change or handover just ringing.
How do I set this up?

This service has been around for a while.
Check out "TrapCall"
They use this as part of an alternate service because they also offer "SpoofCall" a caller ID spoof service.
It's a pay for service but works exactly as you explain, call comes in, you hit end, they process it and re-port it over to you with the caller info.
oops? i have been using google phone on the gmail page to make free phone calls.
i just got my music beta invite and when i signed up >>>all incoming and outgoing calls i have made have just appeared on my phone in the unknown artist category.

have you checked your settings?
For the time being, turn off the Internet to prevent somebody stealing it.
How do I turn it off for notifications. Like when someone calls it tells me the number or name of person. It makes it hard to take a personal call at work if everyone knows who called me.

Hmm let me see. Most of the parameters are controlled through settings...
Then in the settings you can find speech recognition (pretty straigh forward so far?)
Then just chose the option that suits you.
Cmon dude do a bit more digging in your phone. This is play school stuff.
Dude I been using tech for 30 years if it's so easy find it

Try the settings panel that controls speech... called... "speech".
Yes indeed it would seem that is where it would be but not that see

I think it's hidden in the "Read incoming text messages" option at the bottom of the speech settings screen.
That is what enables voice responses to text messages.. it might do it for phone calls too.. no one has called me since I enabled it, though.
See I knew it was simple bit my I don't know why the **** I had not scrolled down for that one
I get the voice on text but not phone calls. Weird.
Found what you are talking about. Look under Ease of Access. That is where you can turn on the feature to hear who is calling you. Leave off the TTY?TDD mode and turn on Speech for phone accessbility. Or turn off if you don't want to hear who is calling.
This is seperate from the texting part under Speech
Just got my Play today. White international version.
Im having terrible luck with google voice. I can't get to forward my calls through voice. I can't set it to receive texts through voice only. All I can do is revives calls when people call me. This is a bad issue. Does anyone else have any luck with Google voice? This could factor into a speedy return

"I can't get to forward my calls through voice." I'm not sure what you mean. You can't get it to take incoming calls to your Google Voice number and forward to your native number or you can't get it to take incoming calls top your native number and forward to Google Voice for voicemail? Mine pops up a dialog saying that it failed to forward native calls to GV voicemail but it actually works. Even if it didn't there's still a code I can dial in to do the same thing. Some carriers do not support it though. My boss could not use GV to forward his MetroPCS voicemail to. If you are saying that you want calls made to your native number to ring your GV number, that would not be a feature of GV. That would require you to set up forwarding through your carrier.
"I can't set it to receive texts through voice only." Uhh, it can't block texts sent to your native number. Block texting with your provider and tell people to forget your old non-GV number, then use the GV app to receive texts (setting it to also receive via native Messaging app will forward them to your mobile number as regular billable text messages despite the wording of the option). Forwarding native texts to GV is also something your carrier would have to do unless you could find some app to do it. It's not a GV function.
I should have been a bit more clear. Was in a flurry last night.
I've got most of it fixed. I ported my phone number to voice when I changed carriers. So everyone still calls that, then voice routes the call to any phone you want. When I call out from my Nexus, it goes through Google voice and on the other persons end it shows my Voice number instead of my "real" phone number.
My Xperia recieves calls fine now, but I cant get it to call out through Google voice. So people are seeing my "real" number instead of my voice number.
First world problems.

In the options for th GV app I set it to use GV for all outgoing calls. If I have a poor signal or weak WiFi, it causes it to hang on some intermediary screen before the dialer pops up so it is using Internet data for that step. If you can't enable the option, I'd check your cellular data settings.
Oh yeah. Ive got that set up. Been using voice for over a year now. Play just doesn't seem to like it as much.
In a completely unrelated note, this phone has amazing battery life

The only issue I have on my PLAY is the error saying that I can't enable voicemail forwarding even though it does enable it and forward just fine (the setting still shows that my carrier is handling VM). Even then, I think it's a problem with AT&T still having something configured wrong from my iPhone plan with VVM. Also, my battery would die in 8 hours of leaving the device locked on the stock AT&T ROM but, luckily, you never had to deal with that.
Got it all figured out.
Rooted the phone and removed a bunch of bloat. Phone is amazing now! I love you XDA.
Ok so Im not trying to change the subject, but does anyone get googles video chat to work without huge lag? I bought my girlfriend a Xperia play right after I got mines & installed video talk (via Video Talk Installer) & also the GTalkEnabler (to enable "Talk" over mobile data) & attempted both video & voice chat. My voice chat worked well over wifi & mobile, but the video chat was almost impossible due to lag on AT&Ts HSPA/Almost kinda 4g & not much better on wifi. With both XPlay's on wifi the video jumped frames and had green or pink pixel boxes & voice was lagged over 5 seconds. This makes the front cam & video chat useless. Whats the deal with this??
Hi everyone,
I'm a bit concerned. I have several disparities between what Google Voice shows me in my call history and what my HTC Rezound shows in the call log. Sometimes it's an incorrect time stamp, sometimes one log shows an entry that the other does not. I have had the Google Voice app installed for as long as it's been available, and have had GV set to handle all calls for as long as I can remember. I don't have any phone numbers other than my mobile, so it wouldn't be possible for me even if I tried.
I posted a question in the Google Voice forums, but of course I've had no response. If anyone can help with this, that'd be greatly appreciated. I'm going to need to use these call logs in a lawsuit in the coming months.

Are the call logs for your android GV app and the GV website the same?

Yes. But it's strange because sometimes I get what appears to be a duplicate. A few days ago I got one call on my phone which I let go to voicemail and it showed up twice in the call log. Even just now I'm checking and I see two entries from the same number and they both say: 4/30/12 4:10 PM 68 minutes ago
