mute call when its ringing

I know others have talked about this, having the phone face down to mute it which does not work on my phone but all i really want is the "mute ring" button under the "answer"\"reject" buttons to work. right now when i press it, it does nothing. any thoughts?

can you provide more details such as your rom version?
usually you should be able to mute a call by pressing the lower volume key

well i figured out the problem... it was my 3rd party ringtone software RINGO Mobile. If anyone know of a good 3rd party software that does ringtones and text messages that works with the mute ring please let me know via PM. thanks all for the help

the tweaks for face down muting are here: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=903
If your ROM is somehow stripped on the ability to mute a ring they won't help but it's probably worth a shot

[Q] Blocking calls with no incoming call screen active?

Any apps that block calls with the option to not show the incoming call screen? Most apps either hang up, or mute. So i want to mute the call but when the call is being blocked i don't want to see my screen light up and show who's calling. This seems to only work when the options are set to hang up, but i want the calls to ring there end but not show anything my end.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

You could block the number at the carrier level (i.e. Call t-mobile or whoever and ask them to). As far as I know there's nothing that blocks calls as you describe out there. it may be a functionality in some ROMs though.

[Q] Quiet Hours?

What is the best way to achieve decent Quiet Hours? Even in the latest 4.4.4 update today, it seems futile!
The pre-installed "Assist" app doesn't work well: there is no ability to choose what to mute during the quiet hours. My mum wants to mute texts and emails over night, but not calls. Assist is also buggy: volumes appear to get changed unexpectedly the following day, after a night of quiet time.
I tried an app from the Play Store called Silent Hours (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silenthoursnew&hl=en_GB) but it did not seem to work at all... I enabled a profile for supposed quiet time, but an alert was still heard when I received a test test message.
Thanks in advance! :good:
(Edit: lol sorry for typo in thread title.. should be Quiet obvs, not Quit ... can't seem to edit that now. Admin? Thanks.)

Thanks but that app doesn't seem let you choose between "what" gets muted. As stated, I want to mute texts not calls during quiet time.

I found another app that seems to have what you want:

You can tell it to allow calls from favorites or when someone calls twice. As for the volume being buggy, I have yet to see that happen.

Yes, I saw that option which sounds interesting for certain circumstances, if you have favourites set up, but it is not what I am trying to achieve.
The volume bug was reported by my mum, its her phone. So, cannot verify that as yet. I know there have been various other volume related bugs with this phone, according to the recent Motorolla ROM update changelogs however.

Seer will mute everything except calls, and you can setup a schedule.

My screen off's when incoming call or outgoing call

Hi, thsnk you for using XDA Assist. It could be a bad proximity sensor. But to help you further we'd need to know at least what device we're talking about.

Any App for Android to Keep Screen Off while Phone is Ringing

Hello guys.
Is there any android app that can help in keeping the phone screen off while it is ringing and vibrating.
Actually, In certain situation I would like my phone screen to stay off while phone is ringing.
Looking forward to your reply.

Any help regarding this will be greatly appreciated.

i think we could simply do it by pressing power button?

Put some tape over your proximity sensor.

Yes certainly we can but that is not what I want. I want the screen to not Turn ON when it is ringing. I am going to use this app on my Watch and in certain times I want to be informed about a call without letting others know that I am receving a call.

It is android watch. So this is not going to work either.

Oh, I see. I can imagine where an app like that would be useful, especially if your phone is docked and you wear a smart watch.

oh, i understand, so you want your incoming calls in background and only you can see it? If yes, i think this app is what you need.
Play Store or download apk file here

Thanks for your help Cydia.Mate , but still it is not what I am looking for.
I am looking for an app that can let the display turn off while the watch is ringing with vibration. Since the watch is on the wrist, I want it to vibrate when it is ringing so that no one can even notice that I am receiving a call. I just want the watch to not turn the display ON when it is ringing.
