Placing call on hold with music - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got done with a 14 month training cycle with my Unit, and now I'm finding myself with a bunch of down time.
The thread title is an idea that I've been thinking about for a while, and was wondering if anybody can point me into the right direction as to how I we can make this idea into a reality.

Also interested in playing custom sound file in a call session.
I am afraid its not possible as is said here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5268964/stream-audio-to-a-phone-call-android
Please someone correct me if I am wrong

Whats the point of doing this?

Business.

Get a dedicated phone number and set a callertune. Whenever you want to put someone on hold transfer him/her to that number. Set a backtransfer to your number so that call gets returned after no answer typically 30secs and loop it for longer delays

During the call u can always start music player in background or maybe write an app that doesn't actually put the call on hold but instead silences the mike and streams audio to it from a file.
Hit thanks if I have helped

The latter part of your suggestion is exactly what I'm working on. I'm also trying to do one for my home phone. But the Linux box is not being cooperative.
It's a love hate relationship with that thing sometimes.

Sorry to Necro an old thread, however I am still interested in a function such as this because Android's HOLD and Merge Call functions have become far more useable. What I would like to be able to do is; I initiate a call to my bank who puts me in a call block with a 20 minute wait time. I would like to start another phone call and instead of Merging the calls (3 way call) I would like to record a mp3 or my voice saying "Please Hold. The customer who has called you will return to speak with you within One minute. Thank you for holding." Or perhapse we could find a way to put a feature which does this; "Hello, the customer who is trying to reach you is on the other line. Please press 1 on your keypad and the customer will be signaled that you are ready to talk."
If something like this were possible, an android user could be more productive because they could either A) set the phone down and be signaled when they have reached the front of the line within the Call Block. Thus never needing to actually sit on the phone listening to terrible HOLD music. or B) the android user could be on another call and would be signaled when it is time to Flash over or even Merge the 2 calls.

Is it possible to record a phone conversation?

im running the standard windows software on my orange spvm1000.
Basically i need to phone someone up and record what they say and what i say etc.... any ideas if that is possible and what software would i need?
please help
christian
press the record button and hold it ... :roll:
That will only catch one side of conversation.
No.
Both sides of the conversation are recoreded.
I use it all the time ( when i cant be bothered to look for a pen) :lol:
So the record button needs to be depressed and held throughout the conversation? I will try that and see if it works, I havent been able to get both sides of conversation yet and many threads on this subject lead me to believe that others are having the same problem. Is this a documented method or something you found yourself.?
record convos
yes of course a convo can b recorde.and both sides of it very clearly.
lissen carefully
dial the dersired no click the green button n once it rings press record once n leave it now th convo will b recorded... trust me.
but press rec button once the no is dialed ok not b4 the no is dialed not after the other party answers the call.
use it n tell me if it works pm me n let me know ............cheers

I wanted my sisters email address but didn't have a pen.
As far as one-button recording (you just press a button and it starts recording) is concerned, you may want to check out the "One-button recording? Does it need to show the app window?" row in the article "Everything you may need to know about sound recording on the Pocket PC" at http://pocketpcmag.com/blogs/menneisyys/112005SoundRecorderApps.asp
Almost all third-party sound / audio recorder applications know this trick.

[Q] iSecretary for Android ?? [answering machine app]

I have searched almost everywhere, but could not find this. I am surprised no such app for android exists
So should I conclude it is impossible due to some restriction in android OS to record incomming call or to play a message in incomming call, and hence, not possible to make an answering machine app ??
An app that has the features like isecretary has for windows mobile???
Why me and many others like me want this:
we do not have any voicemail service like hullomail, youmail etc available in our country.
voicemail is not free and is heavily charged
also no google service does this in our country afaik
Can any expert android developer tell me in detail as to why making such an app is not possible ??
ps: if it is at all possible I am ready to pay for this project :s
__^BUMP^__
any1 ??
_^BUMP^__
Don't wanna multi-post but I really really need this
Can any1 point me in some direction ?? or just a hint maybe :s
Bumping here again after so many days .. hoping somebody might have some knowledge regarding this

I'm not so sure many App programers visit these forums. Even something basic would be nice. It would only work on a Rooted phone however.
There are many people on xda with good knowledge about Android and its possibilities.. But as you said, I don't think anyone of them cares about whats going on in this forum.
People are asking questions and same average users are trying to answer their questions by guessing stuff.
Nobody even with a little knowledge is trying to answer the question, as to why is this not possible!!!!

Probably because between their real job and their families, their free time is taken by developing roms or apps that make your phone awesome, while usually getting very little in return. Whatever time is left over, I hope they spend enjoying themselves or relaxing.
If it's that important, either learn to do it yourself or pm a developer and ask them (nicely!) if it's possible.
It's improbable that such an app would be possible. An internet connection and/or call forwarding would most likely be a requirement, which is not what you're asking for.

This seems to be a problem and a major complain from Android devs. There is no API to control the audio from incoming calls. Google problably doesnt include APIs to avoid privacy issues.
Im not sure about audio from you in a call if there are APIs for it.
The program, in theory with these APIs, is possible as it is very simple.
There is undocumented APIs which people have used to record audio from incoming calls. You need root and someone they dont work.
So if you want this then yes, you are either going to have to pay someone, learn how they have (using root and undocumented APIs) made it possible to record incoming voice from calls, or wait for Google to release call and voice related APIs.
---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------
In SDK 14 this has been added (maybe with workarounds it can be helpful to what you want):
Voicemail Provider
The new Voicemail Provider allows applications to add voicemails to the device, in order to present all the user's voicemails in a single visual presentation. For instance, it’s possible that a user has multiple voicemail sources, such as one from the phone’s service provider and others from VoIP or other alternative voice services. These apps can use the Voicemail Provider APIs to add their voicemails to the device. The built-in Phone application then presents all voicemails to the user in a unified presentation. Although the system’s Phone application is the only application that can read all the voicemails, each application that provides voicemails can read those that it has added to the system (but cannot read voicemails from other services).
Because the APIs currently do not allow third-party apps to read all the voicemails from the system, the only third-party apps that should use the voicemail APIs are those that have voicemail to deliver to the user.
The VoicemailContract class defines the content provider for the Voicemail Provder. The subclasses VoicemailContract.Voicemails and VoicemailContract.Status provide tables in which apps can insert voicemail data for storage on the device. For an example of a voicemail provider app, see the Voicemail Provider Demo.

lol what is your problem dude?? are you some sort of messiah ?
The point of these forums is people helping out each other and sometimes those with more knowledge than the average user, also jump in to the rescue. If those developers didn't have time apart from their daily life, the Q&A thread would never be created in the first place. And there are people, who are not developers, but have a much better android knowledge and are helping people on these forums.

And there is a reason, I said that, because I have seen threads like mine, on the same issue from more than a year old.. lying without answers. No one is even trying to figure it out. My humble request to you is, if you don't know anything regarding this, and cannot understand our problem, and haven't read other thread like these from the last one year.. just mind your own business please and let us deal with our problem.
We are still here // still posting.. because we still hope someone with knowledge would read these threads someday and reply a meaningful reply.

yes, I have been reading regarding this lately, but I wasn't so sure until now. So this is a fact now that this is not possible in "normal" case (well, this almost answers my main question) as we don't have the APIs from google to help develop an app which is able to manipulate incoming call. And they do have a good reason for this i agree - privacy issues.

what arjas and i am looking for
We have an answering machine and voice mail available on the Samsung Start GT-5233A where you can set up the answering machine easily. It plays a greeting when you do not pick up and if he caller wishes, they can record a message as well.
This is a built in application. I believe Arjas and i are looking, trying to find a similar application for android.
I have a galaxy tab 10.1 but no luck so far.

Answering Machine for Android
Though There's no straight app for this, u can combine 2 apps to get the Answering Machine.
1) Auto Call Answer
2)auto call recorder.
of-course there are lots of similar applications too for each type. install both apps from the market.
when ever u don't answer the the call for certain number of rings the 1st app picks the call and plays the voice u recorded for the caller.But it cant record the callers voice.
Thats where the 2nd app comes in handy.It will record all the incoming calls irrespective of whether u lifted or the auto responder lifted.
When ever u find time u can check the recordings which are saved mostly by the number and time.
For the time being this is the only solution we have.
Also mind u,In the calls recorded the callers voice is very low in most of the android devices.Blame google for not giving API for that.So what the apps generally does is it will record from the mic resulting in poor quality.
I also observed that android devices with honkong firmware and arabic firmwares
the recording quality is good.I think the API is buit-in for that firmware.As recording calls in their countries is legal.
Unfortunately in India call recording is not legal.so is in most of the countries.
So the trick is to flash ur cell with honkong(hhkk) or arabic(jpxx) firmwares and u have the rec option right away in dailer options.Then try installing those two apps.
I am using Galaxy Note initially was on Indian firmware now i changed it honkong version and enjoying the rec fecility which is crystal clear.
But as u said when other brands like symbian,windows are offering this app theres no point in google not letting the developers do it. its shame for the owner of a 30k cell phone running the so called great android and not having a fecility that a cheap 3k phone has.
wakeup guys
if not u,who?
if not now when?
What about something like pbxes.org or something like that? The short answer to your original question is "Not right now" for the reasons mentioned by a previous poster. ICS seems to have the appropriate hooks built in, but that isn't the same as having the app.
I can't believe there isn't a SIP provider you could get set up with and manage voicemail over IP. But you would know better than me what you can reach or not. Just thinking there must be some other way to skin that cat.
It would be nice to have an offline standalone answering machine that plays greeting and records voice messages in the SD or phone's memory.
That will save me $7/month, so I am not expecting it for free.
Hi guys, I was thinking the same thing, then I found this thread.
My need is to have an app that answers an incoming call after 3-4 ringing, then it should play a short record and after that start recording the call.
For example when I'm doing shower and friends come my home, they call me, so it will be useful to have an app that auto-answer and say "I'm on shower, take keys under the tree and enter"...:laugh:
I read previous posts, so I will try the 2 apps. Is there something new in the air? ICS is out since June...
I would spend 5 euros or something more for an app like this...
will we ever see that app ?
I hope so
It may be #1 wanted app in android
Anyway don't try to download "Auto call answer" it seems to be a malware

Send text without sending text?

I know the title sounds a tad confusing, but that's because what I want to do is kind of confusing.
I want to send a text to a phone number, but have my phone not actually send the text at all, meaning that there would be no chance they would ever receive it, but it would make it look as if I texted them (I know I could edit my text logs with an app or some sort of SMS restore app, but I want to see if there is any way to do this).
All help is much appreciated

hmmm... i see what you mean.... you need a messaging app that has the capability of allowing you to send "duds." ive noticed that if you have multiple messaging apps, sending one with one app shows in the others, so i assume they all use the same database for storing your sent/received messages. so actually, what you need is one that toggles a block for the messages, telling your phone you successfully sent the message while keeping it from leaving the phone. the best way for it to be integrated would be a setup where you hold the search button to toggle the block. this would let you send a message in front of someone, have it injected into your logs, and it not really be sent at all. i dont know of any app like this, but if you are a developer yourself (im not. im on this site because its helpful and i like it.) or if you know one who can do it, it seems like it wouldnt be difficult to make, although root would be a likely necessity.

[Q] Want "ping" instead of "plop" when dialling

Now while I like the "nature" theme of the SIII as much as the next guy, I've got one problem with it.
Like the title says, I really dislike the "plop" sound that you get when dialling, and would much prefer to have a proper (?) dialling tone, e.g. where each key has a different note.
Try as I might, I can't find any easy way to switch to dial tones like I had on my old SE X10, so unless someone out there's got a solution, I can see I'm going to end up switching off dial noises altogether.

Why hasn't anyone answered this question? It's important to have these tones when calling an automated system.

It does actually send the correct tone down the line, you just hear a different one locally. It's hard to say if there is an easy fix, because there should be a sound assignment to each key in the Phone apk or related, and if Sammy has replaced them all with a single one, it might not be so easily modified to point each button at a seperate sound.
All I can suggest is to get an alternative dialer, perhaps the AOSP one?
When I called my bank, it didn't work. I switched from short tones to long ones and it still didn't work.
If I can find a different dialer I guess I'll try it.

That's very strange because it's practically a critical feature that the phone dialer can send DTMF tones. I use it regularly myself so I can promise you that it does work for some of us, it could very well be a problem with your bank. Try rip the phone apk out of a Cyanogen build or similar if there are no dependencies, or if you get a dialer from the play Store pay careful attention to how reliable it is and its permissions, just in case.
I asked this question weeks ago and no one has come up with any 'fix' for it...
The tones you hear when pressing a key have nothing to do with the tones the phone sends as described.
Try calling another phone and pressing the keys, you should hear a distinction between all single tones. (If not, please have your ears checked )
Did you have a good connection when calling the bank? The tones heavily rely on a halfway acceptable connection.
If you still want to hear distinct tones, try other diallers such as Go Dialler. They might be able to do it since it's onlce purely cosmetical.
It could be a problem on the bank's end because Google Voice works.

I'm going to agree with what's said here - while plopping noise IS annoying, I've not had any problems with automated "Press 1 for ..., press 2 for ..., or wait on the line and an operator will assist you" services - they all seem to work. So, the problem - for me at least - is purely cosmetic.
I'd assumed that the plop had been part of the theme that Sammy had applied to the SIII, in which case an experienced themer should be able to undo this in favour of some a bit less crappy. Although not being a 'droid developer or themer myself (merely a user) I've no idea where to start looking for that kind of info - fingers crossed that it's in a configuration file somewhere in the system.
I have been annoyed by this also. I myself am so use to hearing dial tones, that I'm just missing the sound, and just want them back.
I found this, where a user replaced the waterdrop with DTMF tones........but its for the Galaxy s......Good news is the zip has all the tone .ogg's. Maybe someone can look and it and figure out a way to port?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361687
I'm also missing the well known DTMF tones and pissed about that bubbles.
"Nature inspired" concept and our device desing is very nice but this chage is absolutely stupid.
Nature don't has phones growing in trees an phone calling couldn't sound like a leaking tap.
Hope somebody was able to port this SII mod to our device...

does it exist? app to auto-answer call and send key stroke?

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!

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!
