[Q] Android 4.1.2 Fullscreen Caller ID natively possible? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the HTC One running Android 4.1.2. stock. I was wondering if it was possible do have the caller ID image go fullscreen without an additional app.
I've used a couple apps before, but there always seems to be an extra step, and it seems to interrupt the normal usage of the phone, like having to press more buttons just to hang up and the like.
I guess I'm asking whether or not we'll ever be able to have fullscreen caller ID images natively.
Or, is there an app that more or less seamlessly integrates into the phone experience so there doesn't have to be extra button pushes?
I'm using an app called Not Call Log that I can set to take back to the home screen after a call instead of well... the call log. lol Do you think that may be interfering with Fullscreen Caller ID apps?
Is there a way to not have the phone go back to the Call Log after a call natively?

I'm having this same issue as well...anyone???

[Q] Text messages not appearing

I have Google Voice integration set up via Sprint (and I'm using the default text message handler).
For some reason when I have a conversation actually open on the screen I can get a text message (sound and vibration), and the message bar at the top will preview it, but it's not showing in the actual conversation.
I've missed several MMS this way (as well as normal texts).

yea, if i read your post right, it sounds like the same bug i've been experiecing. def an odd bug in the htc sense messaging app they provide as stock software. i'm also using gv thru sprint integration. usually hitting the back arrow to exit the conversation and move back to the sms inbox then allows the new message to populate.
because of this bug i've now developer the habiting of exiting all conversations and going back to the inbox before turning the screen off or switching programs.
if you're experiencing a different bug, could you perhaps provide more detail?
Pretty much the exact same thing except it never comes back, even if I hit back and go back into it.
I'll give another messaging app a try.

oh how odd the message doesn't appear when you exit the conversation..
perhaps there is an issue with the sms-mms database the app is using. the only easy solution there would be to wipe the database it is using and start fresh. i don't think there are any tools for analyzing the sms-mms database used by the htc messaging app as the sms-mms databased used by the aosp messaging app is different.
if wiping the database doesnt clear the issue, then it would appear most definitely to be a htc messaging app bug.
also, the nice option with google voice is you can check the gv app on your device to see whether or not the actual message came all the way through. if it appears in gv, but not in htc stock messaging app, thats def a bad sign for the htc messaging app (assuming you have good cell signal).
perhaps one of the developers might be encouraged to take a look into the app and see if its a bug they're able to fix through decompiling and recompiling the app.
Handcent seems to have fixed the issue.
I wouldn't be able to check Google Voice since the issue seems to have been most prevalent on MMS messages.
I've had lots of issues with Google Voice integration. I would randomly stop getting text messages for 1-2 hours at a time, every 2-3 days. If I checked Google Voice the messages were there, but they never came in on my phone. I could send messages to other carriers just fine. I couldn't get their messages though. Sprint was no go both ways.
After I deactivated Google Voice, the issue went away. Sucks, I'd love to use the application.

Need a dialer app with these features...

I am looking for a dialer app that allows the following DURING a call without switching to another app:
1) Note taking - so notes can be taken seamlessly during a call (such as phone numbers, confirmation numbers, directions, etc.)
2) Voice recording (I know about the call recording limitations already)
3) Dialer 'macros' for quickly entering account numbers and passwords during a phone call such as when calling a bank or paying bills.
4) A dialer pad 'hot key' so that if I have to switch to another app during a call, I can instantly return to the dialer in a tap or double tap.
I know that all of this can already be accomplishe with separate apps. I'm looking for all of this to work seamlessly in one dialer app. The current solutions with the stock dialer are too cumbersome. Does anyone know if any of the dialers in the market support all of these features?

[Q] Phone replacement app

I'm looking for a substitute for the phone app.
I know we have the apps like Dialer One and Go Dialer and what not. I've tried them. All these have contacts and the T9 dialer, but once you place the call, it's all the same as before.
What I am looking for is an app that actually replaces the calling screen, the one we get when the call is going on.
The reason is, I want better options for call holding etc.
Is there anything that is available?
Thanks.
Check out Google Voice. When you set it up, it can be configured to handle only your voicemail or handle all calling duties.
I don't think you can do that. The calling screen is built within the phone. The only way to change it is by flashing any themes that you like as the image is within, therefore not something an App can alter.

[Q] Android ICS incoming call screen changability

Under ICS the incoming caller's contact photo is obstructed by the answer-options in the bottom half of the screen, so that the picture is virtually impossible to see below the upper one third or so of the image.
Is there any way to easily change this so that the contact photo is completely separate and unobstructed? Either the way it was under Gingerbread, or some other better way?
I've seen and tried plenty of incoming/callerID apps on the market, but they all require one to re-specify new, larger full screen/HD contact images to associate with callers. I don't want to do this for hundreds of existing contacts, and I don't want to have to sync with some external social network to get new photos. I still want to use the original (square shaped) contact photos I already have in the default/stock/system contact database, and have them fully visible and unobstructed on the incoming call screen.
Is there any app or hack that will enable this? Thanks...

Call confirm app

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!! ?
