I use my phone as my alarm clock. I keep it chargeing on my bedside table. I do not have a house/landline so this is my only option for communication.
It would be nice if at night, when I'm sleeping, i can set my phone (via app or setting) to a "do not disturb" type state.
In this state, i would basically like all phone calls routed to a special voice mail, that will state to the caller that i am unavailable, and to leave a message. However if it is an emergency, give the caller an option to bypass the do not disturb state and actually ring my phone.
Same with Text Messages. I would like all text messages intercepted, and responded to via text in the same fashion, with the same option for the caller to bypass the do not disturb state and actually ring/notify me of the call/text etc.
And of course, put all other notifications to silent mode etc.
Then in the morning, i can check all notifications, phone, text etc, and see what i missed.
I hope i explained this well enough.
I would like to be able to sleep without interruption, but if something important happens, or an emergency happens, i can still be gotten a hold of.
there is an app called silent time lite that I use, it wont route your calls or anything, but between the times you states the phone will go into silent mode (vibrate or not, you decide) you can also have exceptions like if your mother calls at 3 am or something. Its free in the market, i use this app for school, put my schedule in there and it automatically muted my phone for classes

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hmm, exceptions for contacts eh? Might be the next best thing if i cant find, or someone create an app that'll do the other stuff.
Thanks for the suggestion, ill look into it.
uh... How about... AIRPLANE MODE
I like the stshannon's idea : this kind of "filter" people can "bypass" only for emmergency...I've been loking for that for long time !
@nopenope : the aireplaine mode doesn't allow this kind of redirection I think...
timerriffic is awesome and free. once you've got your profiles all setup you can set what goes off, volume, vibrate etc... I use it to turn off notifications at night but ring my phone at 100% when I'm "on call" for work or 40% when i'm not.
different day settings too, m-f and weekends.
So I was typing a message this morning when a call came in. Before I even realized it, the incoming call screen popped up and I hit the Decline button. Is there an app or mod or setting I'm not aware of that will keep the incoming call screen from coming up when another app is in use? I read that CyanogenMod has a setting like that. The phone rings and a notification appears but the Accept/Decline buttons don't pop up immediately. Is there a way to get that functionality on a Sense ROM?
[Q] Android > create Telephone app that keeps focus on outgoing & incoming phoneCall
Using this simple example to create a PhoneCall application that dials out a hard coded # and monitors phone state.
http://www.mkyong.com/android/how-to-make-a-phone-call-in-android/
Unfortunately, on making the phone call, we always switch to the actual built -in phone application.
I want to avoid this, or at the very least hide the dialer pad button. The user SHOULD NOT have the option to enter a phone#.
Does anyone know of a way to achieve this? i.e. keep the actual built-in phone application in the background (I would need to add buttons for speaker, and end call in the primary application)
OR
alternatively, hide just the dial pad button in the native, built-in phone application?
Do you want to put your phone on silent mode, but yet you want your phone to ring when some important contact like family or a spouse calls?
Do you put your phone on silent in meeting/in a movie but often forget to put it back on ringer mode, and miss some important calls from important contacts?
Then this app is the solution.
HOW THIS WORKS ?
you can add number in application settings for which you want your phone to ring even when your phone is in silent mode.
and start the application service by clicking icon on application dashboard. thats it.
now whenever your phone is on silent mode and call comes from the number you have added to application settings,your phone will ring...
NOW PUT YOUR PHONE ON SILENT MODE WITHOUT MISSING CALLS FROM IMPORTANT CONTACTS.

When the Phone is not in standby but i am logged in and a phonecall comes in it is a notification on top of the screen. Makes no difference when in a app like whatsapp etc. Is it to configure that when a phonecalls comes in when i am busy with a app that a full screen appears from that phonecall in stead of a notification on top?
