Hi guys this is my first post. I developed this app and this is my first app. I being Civil Engineer require to take appointment and get the caller info on the screen while call by searching though appointments.
Concept is explained below:-
This app basically uses the GOOGLE CALENDAR as the Source of Information to display the Name of the caller on call screen during call. So please install Google Calendar from the Store.
This is the easiest way to create appointment after call and get the reminder during the call for the same.
Who uses CalCall? Anyone whose business depends on an appointment calendar. With CalCall, appointment scheduling is easy, replace your paper appointment book today and let the app send appointment reminders, so your clients will never miss a booking again!
Concept :-
In Business we receive lots of calls but we can't store all those numbers in our contact, as most of the times we only receive the calls of clients/others which are temporary. Storing the number in our contact may clutter the contact book making it difficult to maintain.
Also if we have multiple devices, storing the contact on one device won't display the Caller ID on the other device. Synchronizing contact can be sometimes difficult. This will create the same problem of cluttered Address Book.
We normally store our appointments in the Calendar along with the number of client. Why not search the same during call. This is our solution to the problem.
This basically uses
1) Calendar as your secondary contact book.
2) Calendars can be synchronized, hence essentially making the synchronized secondary contact book.
3) This app can display additional information stored in the calendar along the contact.
4) Quick add the contact to calendar after the call from notification.
5) Quick open the contact after the call from notification.
Just store the information of the client in the Title of Calendar along with his number in the Description field. And same will be displayed during the call on screen.
Steps to get the app working
1) While creating the appointment in phone calendar store the phone number in description field.
2) the phone number will be read by the app during the incoming call, if it matches the incoming number then a popup will be shown during the call.
3) choose the fields to display during the call from the app.

Hi all,
Long time HTC one X+ user with AOSP Rom..... just switched to Nexus 5. I like N5 but one frustration is about calendar.
I am on work calls most of the time - all my calls have toll free number to dial and then we have to enter conf code # - a typical corporate set up.
on HTC...I was able to open calendar event, click on the toll free number for dialer to show up and dial the number..and then it used to show ..tap here to view calendar event details - I use tap and then view/enter the conf# details, it also had a provision for taking notes. I believe this was default calendar client (or maybe HTC's, not sure)
on N5, I can open the calendar event, click on the phone number, it brings up dialer with phone number and I can dial.... but nothing else - No event details to view or can't do any thing further.
this is a big problem for most users like me as when we dial a number and once connected if we have to enter a conf# etc..we have to go open the calendar event remember the conf#, then go back to dialer and enter the conf#....this is a pain in the neck.
Not sure if I am doing something wrong here...or forgetting anything I rooted my N5 as I do with all my devices....so maybe using a different calendar app makes sense?
thanks for your help..
In reading some articles, looks like the default Calendar app doesn't have these features?

I've looked online trying to solve this problem, but just can't find anything that describes whats happen to my phone. Pictures, phone numbers and emails from incoming people get added to existing contacts. Example:
Say I have contact: John S. I have his number, his address, and email in the contact.
Later I receive an email from Kimberly K., a business associate who's contact is not in my phone book, but who I have communicated with both by phone and email.
When the email from Kimberly K. comes in, I see a picture of John S. attached. When I check John S's contact in my phone, Kimberly K's email has been added as an additional email. In addition, if I get a call from John S., the picture is correct and the number is correct, but the name displays as Kimberly K? WTF?
This has now happened to several contacts, some have added the email and phone numbers. Also, the names of the mysteriously merged contacts are not even close. When I remove the added information, it always returns. I think that happens either by syncing, or when I receive a contact (email, call, or text) by either of the merging contacts.
What I've done so far:
I have checked my Google contacts on line and they are correct there.
I have disabled contact sync with FB, Viber, WhatsApp, and Yahoo contacts.
Searched like crazy online.
So If my Google contacts online is correct, what is causing the return of the incorrect info when I fix the phone contact?
Would wiping my phone of contacts ensure the sync would bring in the correct list?
Help!
PS, I'm on and LG G2, but I don't think phone brand is the cause.

Hi, I'm missing an option in stock dialer's Recent calls(when the number is not in my contacts), for sending SMS directly, the only options there is Redial, IP dial and Details - right now I have to press on the name, chose Details then the 3 dots in upper right, then choose Edit number before dial, then the dialer comes up and I have to press the 3 dots there and choose Send SMS - really a drag to have to do it this way.
From contacts it's not a problem sending SMS directly.
So I'm looking for an App that works on 5.1 and can send SMS directly from recents calls/history.
Can your App do this? I can't see it on the screenshots or in the txt.
Hello, frequently I recieved sms from certain companies (google calendar notifications, my home banking, my football club, etc) and these sms came already with name of the sender and they are not in my contact list.
How can I add an image to these contacts?!
I've manually add Google as an contact and put the Google's logo but the avatar doesn't appear in the hangouts.

the messages you are getting are different sms... not like others i guess... like we get for promotional ads... they automatically have name in them.. and you can't see there no so you can't save them... and i guess you just can't apply picture to them..

The way I did it it, for example Google Calendar, added Google Calendar to contacts in gmail using +148368 as the mobile phone number and then changed the photo to one of a calendar (or whatever). Then I followed Google Calendar on G+, I also on the Google Calendar G+ page added that same number (+148368) not sure if you need to do the last step or even if you have to follow on G+ but there was a delay on it changing on hangout so I'm not quite sure if you have to follow. Sometime adding the +1 to the phone number is what works, and sometimes you just need to use the short code, for example US Bank uses a short code of 872265 and I didn't need to add the +1 for that. So for example Twitter, you need to use +140404 and if you already follow Twitter on G+ the avatar will also show up in gmail contacts. The whole think is convoluted but it finally is working for me except Google Voice sent sms.
CalCall:-
This is my first app. This is new concept can be helpful to many. You can post your review here about the app and improvements I can do to it.
This is a BETA Product and may have some bugs. We are improving on the concept.
This app basically uses the GOOGLE CALENDAR as the Source of Information to display the Name of the caller on call screen during call. So please install Google Calendar from the Store.
Concept :-
In Business we receive lots of calls but we can't store all those numbers in our contact, as most of the times we only receive the calls of clients/others which are temporary. Storing the number in our contact may clutter the contact book making it difficult to maintain.
Also if we have multiple devices storing the contact on one device won't display the Caller ID on the other device. Synchronizing contact can be sometimes difficult. This will create the same problem of cluttered Address Book.
We normally store our appointments in the Calendar along with the number of client. Why not search the same during call. This is our solution to the problem.
This basically uses
1) Calendar as your secondary contact book.
2) Calendars can be synchronized, hence essentially making the synchronized secondary contact book.
3) This app can display additional information stored in the calendar along the contact. (For alpha stage only the location is being displayed. later will come other options)
Just store the information of the client in the Title of Calendar along with his number in the Description. And same will be displayed during the call on screen.
