Is there an app that allows me to unmute on an incoming call for contacts I specify? If I am on mute and I deem someone to be important, I can add them to a list and when they call the phone will unmute and ring?
Thanks
Theres a paid app called CritiCall on the android market that lets u do it. Theres also a trial version if u arent sure if its for u.
Perfect, thank you.

Try Tasker
Thanks! . this looks to be something definitely worth exploring.
Try "QSMS To Buddy:FullFeatured" free app from android market
Use "QSMS to buddy" App from android market.
- This app allows you to send sms to missed/rejected calls.
- It also allows you to send a 'default' sms after user specified time period. e.g. you can specify to send a msg after 10 secs
- *** You send sms during "Outgoing" call reject as well
- *** You have ability to messages while sending the reject sms depending on the context. e.g. "I will call back in 10 mins" instead of "I will call back later"
There are other interesting features as well in this app. Watch demo at youtube with key word "QSMS : Quick SMS To Buddy Android App by Onion Systems"

Root Call Blocker also includes a feature similar to what you're looking for
Why would you want to do th at? I just don't get it.
Some countries ban usage of mobile phones while driving, so instead of pissing about with your phone while driving, you can block the call and tell them why without having to touch the phone. Could be used in meetings, school/college too. there are so many uses
Thanks for all the replies. Another classic example is you are in a middle of a meeting/conference and u get an important call (from ur better half ;-) ? ) . You may not be in a position to take the call - easier if u get an option to send predefined sms - when u reject the call - with the flexibility of not having SMS being sent out whenever u reject a call.
Reject++
If you are looking for an app to let you reject incoming calls with predefined or custom SMS and setup a reminder to return a call as well..
so check Reject++
You can:
- Reject a call with SMS, Reminder, Or Both.
- Convenient Slider on top of incoming call screen, slider it up and go with Reject++
- Smart SMS Templates with "Tags"
- Smart Reminders Scheduling Engine.
- Works with mobile screen locked or OFF
- Notifications works no matter if the app is active or not.
Check much more Features & Screenshots for Reject++
I'm wondering if its possible to receive calls on touchpad? I pay $2 a month for Skype number. I also got the google voice app that's in prepare. But when I call either number it won't go through. Is there anyway to receive calls so maybe I can get rid of cell phone plan?
I've used Skype, so I know it should work. You must be doing something wrong.
u can receive skype calls but i believe if you keep the device off for too long it automatically signs you off of skype..to avoid that i guess open up the messaging app and then make urself "available" after a while.
as far as the "google voice app that is in prepare" not sure what ur are talking about ???? but could you elaborate because i'm looking for a google voice app rather than having the use the google.com/voice website for most of my sms's
im pretty sure he means google talk, not google voice. in gingerbread, with the right apk or phone, you can make video calls with google talk.
theres a google voice app.
Download the webos quick install and press the globe icon on the right. Once that loads just seach google voice and its there. Its nothing great, defiantly wish there was something better but its better than nothing.
Regarding skype....i cant recieve calls on it. I can call out fine but when i try to have someone else call me from their cell phone it wont happen.
hmm havent had anyone call me from their phones just a skype to skype call so not sure if that would make any difference.
and gonna check out that google voice app right now
I have gotten Skype to work both ways but I can't start a video call. The option is there but won't start

I did not see an app called google voice. I did find an app called P2Google Voice in the HP App Catalog, but I had no luck in making phone calls (it seems to be for the handset only).
If there was a Google Chat plug-in for webOS browser then we could make/receive calls in the touchpad. Or if there was a app to setup a sip account the touchpad one could make/receive calls.
P2GoogleVoice has been discontinued, so it won't work at all.
The only current app in the catalog is GV Text, which I have heard does not work either.
So, our only hope may be Linphone, which was being worked out by webosinternals:
Here's the wiki: http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Linphone
Here's the official discussion page: http://forums.precentral.net/webos-internals/274615-linphone-alpha-testing.html
and here's the link to install the package (but does not work on touchpad yet): http://bit.ly/linphone-0-1-8-pre
Thanks avinyc, I will keep an eye on Linphone yes it does not work on the touchpad
anyone have any luck getting a video call working?
any suggestion on how to use google talk or yahoo messenger on touch pad not as a chat but for voice
free skype
just got a Skype # today (use the discounts) and added it to my GV forwarding #s...works great. I emailed Skype customer service and they confirmed that no calling credit is used for incoming calls to your Skype #...so I assume no credit is needed if you use as callback to call out. Now all we need is a half decent GV app for the touchpad....even a modified browser may work...anyone?
Hi All,
I am looking for a way to get around using Voicemail from my carrier.
Firstly, here we pay for the service as well as retrieval of voice messages.
It would be good if i could get tasker to answer a call, play a voice recording or media to the call stream, and then record the response.
Once that part is done then i can do whatever i want witht he recording.
Also, I am not in the US, so i cant use Google Voice.

I second this. I want it for a little bit of a different reason though. I want it to take the voicemail and search it for my emergency word. If it discovers it I want it to set off my emergency profile. If not then save the voicemail and let me hear it later or view a text version of it.
Me too! Would love to be able to do this.
I had an app on my HTC U11 that allowed me to confirm yay or nay before I put the call through, It is not working on this phone. I have installed another 4 apps, all not working so I'm assuming it has something to do with Android 9.
Has anyone got any suggestions please. I tend to make accidental phone calls
Where do you start a phone call from?
From the contact list?
Yes, and I also have a widget which displays my favourites (contacts) None of the apps I have installed work
Some dialer app can enable a confirmation popup before calling.
However widget initiated calls are generally not provided with this functionality.
Call confirm
I found it!! It's called "tiny call confirm"!!
You're welcome!! ?
Idk where to post this, but I'll pay for someone to create a custom call screening app that anyone (most likely rooted) can use instead of Google's call screener.
The call screener should be able to answer all calls that aren't from numbers in your contacts. And it simply and respectfully asks who's calling, and gives you a transcription of what they said and an option to send to VM or answer the call.
