[Q] Call Screening - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am looking for an app that can automatically send calls from those not in my contacts to voicemail. I want to know they called just not necessarily talk to them. Any suggestions?

Sending calls to voicemail

Hi
I've only had the xda for a week and I have a question:
I know how to forward all calls to voicemail but its a long procedure (phone-setting-call forwarding etc.).
Is there an easier way to do this, i.e. can you set up something like a macro on the desktop that you click and it will automatically do this and also one other for undiverting the phone.
Thanks

Simly set yourself some speed dials in the phone app.

Conditional Call forwarding active

Hello all!
Whenever i make an outgoing call on my new ATT Note, i get a message that pops up saying "Conditional Call Forwarding Active"
I have never seen this before and i just was wondering if it was normal.
Thanks!
I've never seen that on mine. Perhaps check the call options?
I believe it has to do with using voicemail other than the ATT built in voicemail. If you use you mail, or googlevoice for your mail, this has to be activated. You dial a code in, get confirmation, then your messages go to your voicemail provider. There is a reversal code to dial in to stop the call being forwarded to a different voicemail provider.
Well. I come from an iphone 4s. I had visual vmail and when i upgraded today at the store they didn't switch my vmail over. So i called in and told them i had no voicemail and she added It for me and ever since then the message has popped up every time i make a call.
Voicemail does work though.

No voice call if receiving text?

Has anyone noticed an issue with voice calls going directly to voice-mail if they come through at the same time as sending or receiving texts?
Background:
I have G-voice installed and running strictly as my voicemail service. This works out well for me as it will send me an email notification of a missed call whereas without it if I have no coverage and someone calls me I would never know about it.
I am a Firechief for an oil refinery and I use the phone as my fire call-out pager too. Its rather important that I get my calls.
I have noticed in the past that people would tell me they called but it went to my voicemail. After installing and using G-voice for voice mail, sure enough when they told me that, I would get a missed call notification from G-voice.
We use a call-out system called Send Word Now that will send me a voice call and a text message together when activated. Apparently is at exactly the same time because when I tested it I would only ever get the text mesage and a missed call notification.
My Question:
Has anyone else noticed this and figured out why? It would seem that with a 4G connection and all the data bandwidth available the phone should have no problem doing both. In fact, I can get plenty of text mesaages or incoming calls if I am already talking on the phone.
Just as an update to my own thread in case anyone searches this oddity. The messaging center today informed me that they know of the issue and ALL phones and providers will act the same way. As in, if you get an oncoming call at the same time you are sending or receiving a text the call will go straight to voicemail.

Google Voice does not ring.

Does anyone else have a problem with their Google Voice not actually ringing through to their phone?
Mine's been doing this for a while. If you call my Gvoice number, it rings like it's forwarding to my phone, but never actually has an incoming call for me. Then the caller gets sent to my Gvoice voicemail.
I saw on another page that changing your number fixes it, but I'd rather not do that. A lot of people have my current number.
Any suggestion is welcome.

This happens to me about once every 3 months or so. I don't know why it comes, but it usu fixes itself within 6-12 hours.
I show no missed calls, but I do get he text notification that I received a vmail
