I don't mind the slide to answer, but is there a way to add another option with just pressing to answer? Is there an APK out there for this?
Search for "Easy Answer Button" in the market.
Why is one of the "Easy Answer Button" permissions:
Services that cost you money
directly call phone numbers
Presumably, it's only for answering the phone.
Sorry if its sketchy, I just remembered seeing it while browsing AppBrain.
I'm going to assume that permission is vague and that its letting you know it does deal with the phone application, but I don't blame you for being cautious

To do what it does it has to intercept the dialer process..otherwise, it couldn't do what it does.

That's just Android's generic description for any app that requires permission to work with phone calls.
If you use the app to call/receive call from a number that is not free "it can cost you money" nothing crazy, just a legal term is all.

But how is it different?
Here's the idea. Add your Google Voice number to your Friend/Family list. Then use the Google Voice callback app (or use the Google Voice mobile website to set up a call). This will create a phone call that will start with your phone ringing. When you answer the phone, it will then begin ringing your other party. The genius here is that the incoming number on the caller ID is your Google Voice number. No minutes used.
Another bonus is that if you change phone companies, you don't have to change your Google Voice number. Assuming that is the number you are handing out to people, you'll always get calls. Add on to the list superior voicemail, and much better texting and it starts to really shine.
If I am diligent, I can go an entire month using minimal minutes. Since I am sharing minutes, this makes the other users on our plan very happy. =)
Does this help to answer your question?

It is also helpful for people who would like to split their work life from their non-work life. You can specify conditions to connect a call to a work phone or home phone between specific hours, or you can use one phone with multiple voicemail greetings for different groups of people (family, friends, work, etc.). It lets you screen/block calls from specific or unknown people and send them directly to voicemail. You just have a lot more control over things.
Good point! I had forgotten about those customizations! It is especially amusing to set up a custom voicemail greeting for one specific person. When John calls and it says, "Hey John, leave a message old man!"

Hi, I can call someone like galaxy tab 7"? I can compose the number and call?
Use the search button next time 'cause this question has been answered a billion times..
But the answer is no, you can't call with this tab (yet) because honeycomb doesn't support the phone functionality. The hardware is present in the tab but the software simply doesn't know how to utilize it. Maybe when our developers get the complete source code for honeycomb they can cook something up but for the time being we have to use a real mobile phone to call with.
Uhh, yes you can call with this tab. Install Google Voice, get a free number, buy Groove IP from the Market, 5 minutes later you will have a giant slab of a phone.

Edit: about google voice.. I hate to break it to you, but not everyone is american.
Post #3 is correct. Obviously you have to be on wifi, but you can very easily make phone calls with this tablet. I have done it many times. To the OP, if you need links or anything else please let us know.

Just as you can access US/UK video with a US IP address - you can get Google Voice with a US number.
Get a free (or rent) US voip number, register for google voice.

I can't speak for the Tab (I have one now), but I was able to use Skype with my Xoom when I had that tablet. It worked fine. Just need to download it and use a wi-fi connection.

I assume you are talking about using a VoIP provider? Is there any way of making FREE calls in to US numbers using Google Voice Callback or something similar? I've been unsuccessful in trying to make it work on mine (wifi only version)
I tried groove IP the call quality sucks no one can hear me but I am able to text from my Google voice number

This is correct ...and the first mod I did. Don't forget to click forward calls to gtalk in Gvoice. Scince my main number is ported, it rings and texts my tab and phone simultaneously. sweet. Only downside is wifi/teather required
Hey
Im looking for a application that lets me answer calls by voice by saying a prerecorder word of my choosing. While at first appears like a gimmick, its nice for when you are in the shower, a call comes in and you dont want to hit the screen with wet hands. Say the word and the phone picks up the call and (optionally) turns on the loadspeaker.
What application can I use?
im looking for same app to..
i'm looking for the reverse of it: start calls by saying prerecorded words (as voice dialing doesn't work in my language but i'd use it)

Intresting
I saw some of these apps which you can tell your phone to send a message and the specific person you want to send to. I thought they can also receive the call and call others by voice.
Anyone have information on what Im searching for?
Thanks

Dear All
I'm sure everybody had this already that he got calls from unwanted numbers, and they don't stop.
I usually use blacklist pro (bought version) with android 4.1.1 it doesn't work currently, probably it has something to do with pdroid, i'm using a cyanogen rom.
Anyway..
So far i'm more intrested in call forwarding instead of blocking.
I am locking for an app which can forward this annoying caller to another number, or all numbers which are not in my contact list.
so far i couldn't find an app doing exactly this what I wanted to.
(It does not matter if the forward counts on my own phone bill, because i've got flat anyway...)
so does someone know an app for this?
would this anyway technicaly be possible?

well all those so called 'Call blocking or forwarding' apps available on stores are not compatible enough to wrk efficiently with JB based roms, due to lack of upgradation of those apps from there developer's
so ICS based roms r better for ur issue, since they can support those apps

I try staying nice and calm but it's hard not getting mad..
So listen, I don't post stupid questions in a form because i'm lazy or i can't use google. In reality i've been searching such an app which exactly supports my needs for few hours, i've also tested few apps, but sadly my search was unsuccessfull.
Considering that the world is full of noobs posting sometimes unhappy,not well explained or just unintelligent posts I can partially understand your replies.. PARTIALLY!
But this is a Question and Answers forum and you do NOT have to write me "use google there are lot of apps and search the one for your needs"
If you CAN'T give a competent answer do not reply!
If you do not understand what exactly has been requested, read the topic until you do and then reply only if your answer is competent!
Now please do no more post reply on this thread you're not hitting the topic anymore and you can't help further!!
If somebody knows an App which exactly fullfills my needs, feel free to post it..
@ OP
Have you found such an app? I am also in search.

Same here @ OP
Would really appreciate a response.
The OP's outrage at being told to use Google is just as hilarious as it was almost two years ago.
I just want to be able to forward calls from specific contacts (not send to voicemail). I currently have all undesired callers automatically hung up on.
Hi frnd,
I found out a method which works perfectly for me....Hope this will be useful for u as well.
first add the particular number from which u don't want to receive calls to a call blocking list app.( i used cm security app)
second, go to your call settings, and enable 'call forward when busy' to your any other number or to which number u want the calls to forward
That's It...now if the blocked number called u, it will get hang up and automatically redirected to another number..
Greetings XDA community. I've been googling on and off throughout the day looking for an auto-call answering app that does what I'm looking for. Basically, I need it to auto-answer a call from a particular phone number (easy enough), and after answering I need it to press/send the pound (#) button. Then, I'd like it to hang up. Does anyone know of an existing app that could do this?
While this isn't the exact use I want such an app for, think of it like this: you live in a condo that requires someone to be buzzed in. The building dial pad connects to your cell phone. When they dial you from downstairs, you have to answer and press # to buzz them in. If this was my scenario, I would tell my phone to auto-answer the # of the dial pad, and once answered automatically press # to buzz them in. and then hang up.
I'm fearful no such app exists at the moment, but hoping someone here is my saver!
Aloha,

While I'm not really sure that the app can do those actions, my best guess is Tasker.

You're on the right track. Tasker + AutoInput.
Thanks you two. I have Tasker now and am trying to figure out how to make this happen. It seems logical enough (IF phone rings and caller is "xxxxx", answer phone. Then, when call duration = 3 seconds, input "#" on keypad. Then, hang up), but I'm working on figuring out how tasker wants me to input this basic combo Looks promising once I figure it out, though!
Did you figure this out? I'm looking for the exact same thing and was wondering if you could post your steps. Thanks!
P.S. I'll try it myself as well and see if I can work it out.
I am also looking for the exact same thing. Did you ever find a solution?
Thanks!
