When I call my voice mail, and it ask for pin the screen is black, and fumble around to get to keyboard. Any fix for this? Dave.
not necessarily a fix, but a convenient workaround....
set your voicemail number to automatically dial your pin by going to your dialpad, click Menu, Options, then change the Voicemail phone number to xxxxxxxxxxpyyyy#
x = your voicemail phone number
p = the letter P
y = your pin
# = the # symbol
the p inserts a pause and the yyyy will type in a four-digit pin for you. I have it this way since I use a hands-free connection with my car and voice dialing voicemail automatically connects now.
hope this helps!
Thanks I will try that. Dave.
you can also just disable the passcode in your voicemail settings
when making calls i need the keypad to enter numerical choices for voice prompts. however my keypad is not making that 'beep' sound that the prompt listens for. so the call does not progress.
what can i do to use the keypad for those calls that require numerical inputs for voice prompts?

you don't need any beep sounds in order to control numerical choices, just press the digits and it works.

i tried it on a different phone number and the keypad does work.
it was only on that phone number which probably relied on keypad sounds to activate the prompts.
the annoying thing is that was the phone number of my cell service provider which i had to reach!

This doesn't make sense, something else is wrong. The digits you press during the call to a landline (without any beep in your end) causes the correct beep sound to be generated by the mobile network and sent to the other end of the call.
I just tested this myself by calling my home number to be sure I wasn't lying
I think you are searching for the wrong solution to your problem.
EDIT: here is the ETSI spec describing how it works if you like specifications
http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_i_ets/300500_300599/300532/01_60/ets_300532e01p.pdf
there must be something wrong with my cellphone providers support prompts.
i tested with my bank and 2 other credit cards and the keypad does register input with them.
it is only with that one number that i am having issues on.
Hi,
As the title suggests, is there any way to disable the bluetooth last number redial functionlity.
I have a Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i, Bootloader unlocked, Rooted) with a Samsung HM1700 bluetooth headset. The headset has a button for answering / ending calls and this same button also has the last number redial functionality, ie when not in a call, pressing this button redials the last dialed number.
AFAIK, the headset just sends a signal to the mobile which then calls the last dialed number.
What I need, is to disable only the bluetooth redial functionality on my mobile.
[ BUMP]
Any suggestions anyone?

You can try the app Smart Bluetooth Headset from the Play Store.You can not only disable it but also make it do something useful
Since the app "Smart Bluetooth Headset" does not work reliably for me (e.g. not activated by default after program start) I use this now: Go to Bluetooth settings and find your headset. Uncheck Phone to disable the headset from being used for voice calls.
Use an app on your smartphone to enable bluetooth on call and disable after call. There are many apps for this, for example bluetooth on call: https://www.addictivetips.com/mobil...ndroid-bluetooth-for-bt-headset-during-calls/
In addition to solving this problem your phone battery will last longer.
Regards Rob.
Necroing this thread to say that I tried "Headset Button Controller" and "Smart Bluetooth Headset" apps, both free versions, on my rooted HTC10 running Oreo 8.0 with a paired MPOW Crescent. Both apps worked, in slightly different ways.
Headset Button Controller places a dummy call on the call log. Activating the redial function on the headset (double click the answer/end call button on the MPOW Crescent) makes the phone call to the dummy thing, and a little window shows asking for a valid number. No call is actually made.
Problem is, if a valid call is made (for example, you call your boss or a friend), the dummy call setting must be reenabled again manually in the app - meaning that, if you make a valid call, the next time you activate the redial function on the headset, it will call the valid call.
Smart Bluetooth Headset works basically the same way, except that, instead, the redial attempts to call the * or *1 numbers. These attempts open the call window but close it right away, and immediately activate whatever you set the redial function to do. I set mine to run "Tasker 01", but didn't set what "Tasker 01" is. So, what my phone does when I (accidentally) activate the redial function on my headset is open and close the call window, and then return an onscreen self-fading error notification stating that Tasker 01 could not be found.
Best of all, the settings stick - meaning that, if you make a valid call, the redial function will still attempt to dial the * or *1 numbers, as long as the Smart Bluetooth Headset service is active.
So, in my experience, the Smart Bluetooth Headset app works the best.
Of course, I could just turn the headset on and off, whenever I need. It has a physical on/off switch, and immediately pairs with the phone (if previously paired) when turned on.
Awesome guys, thanks! Well written instructions Kam0laZ So nice when a solution presents itself effortlessly. Just turned on my new Bluetooth piece and INSTANTLY ( double tapping by mistake Just to get the damn thing in my ear hole) redialed my (dreaded) Ex BF..... TWICE! .... Noooooooo! Damn it! *Fists shaking furiously* And the ball was only in MY court but for a fleeting moment... wah wah
Could you share a link for these two apps? I've been trying to find them on the Google play store..
Unfortunately, redialing is no easy feat (like instead the stupid "media player opens" case).

So, like, simply put.. You have a bluetooth HFP device that sends an AT+BLDN command to your phone.
The bluetooth stack runs DialCallCallback in the bluetooth package, which getLastDialledNumber from your phonebook, and then sends an ACTION_CALL_PRIVILEGED intent to the rest of the phone with the number to call.
Where could we act?
Perhaps if you could force some sort of HSP-only mode, you could avoid all the extra cruft but I'm not aware of any way to do so.
Similarly, there are plenty of ways to "directly hack the code", but I don't think anybody has got such a solution yet.
So my efforts have focused on disturbing the phone dialer from getting the action to call.
The problem is, "install-only" permissions aren't changeable. And without root you can't even hope to revoke android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG. And without xposed you can't even block intents.
(if you have either of these though, something could be done I guess?)
So long story short, well, Smart Bluetooth Headset still sounds like the best option.
It's no longer available in any official place as already stated.. But luckily enough it was open source!
We'll see.
Hi,
Install macrodroid app from play store.
Create a macro as follows:
Trigger:
Call/sms -> call outgoing
(Select number(s) from the 3 bullet menu that appears, it is the 3rd)
Enter * (meaning all calls)
Action:
Phone -> call reject
Save the macro.
That's it !!!
Keep in mind to let the macrodroid app on the white list of any battery saver app you may have installed or is built in the android it self (eg xiaomi phones) easy to make it unrestricted to not be killed by any task manager.
Simple solution, minimal battery drain, no wake up the phone to check. The macro runs only on call intent
Thats's it.
Thanks

@kounelii how do you configure the macro so that it only applies to calls made from headphones when last number redial is executed?

Does anyone know an app that secures incoming calls from your SIM, Signal and WhatsApp with a pin? Root or no root, it doesn't matter. Obviously it has to work when the phone itself is locked too...
Yes, you can. Here's my solution:
Disable any lock for your lock screen. Now when you get a call from within Secret Folder, it will prompt for a password.
Install AppLock https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.domobile.applock&hl=en_US
Lock all your apps and install the lock widget.
Every time you turn on your screen you can choose to lock your phone and unlock your phone from the AppLock widget. It's a fine solution for me. Everytime I get a call from within Secret Folder or outside Secret Folder I have to type in my password to answer the call.
On the Amazfit watches (including the Stratos), you can only Reject the call or Ignore the call.
Here is a very simple trick to change the Ignore Call action with Accept Call action.
You need TASKER (of course) installed on your smartphone:
- Create a new TASK called for instance "Accept call", Add action "Take the call" in the Category "Phone". (Sorry, my Tasker is in French and actions could be different in English)
- Create a new PROFILE, category "State", select Variable, Variable value, %SILENT ~ on
- Backward. A menu appears to select a Task. Select the task "Accept call" you have previously created
- Long press on the Variable value "%SILENT", a menu appears with Add (+), click on it
- Select "State", click on "Phone", (verify that it's Incoming type)
- Backward to Profiles
You need to set the sound of the smartphone to vibrations or ring but not to silent for both call and messages. The drawback is, if you select the silent mode by error, that the smartphone will automatically accept the call immediately.
If you want (like me) that your smartphone doesn't vibrate when a call or a message occur, you can set the vibrations to the minimum and create a vibration patern with Nothing (it's possible with my Samsung Galaxy)
Et voilà !!
I'm surprised that nobody is interestes by this post !
It's so usefull to accept the incoming calls just by pressing a button or the screen on the watch.
This trick is valid with all smartwatches proposing reject or ignore call.

For me even if accept incoming call from the watch I must take off the phone from the pocket to talk. So if I take off the phone I can accept call from the phone. If I answer the phone from a BT device I accept call from the BT device, so no need to accept from the watch. Different for an Huawei 2 watch or a Samsung S3 where I can accept the incoming call from the watch AND Answer to the call from the watch.

Ok. But if your phone is in your jacket or a bag or placed somewhere in your house/car, and if you have a flip cover and finally if your network provider limits the ring time before going to voicemail, you will be happy to accept the call from your watch then get few seconds more to get your phone and speak directly without doing any additional button press/swipe on the phone screen.
The possibility to answer to the call from the watch (from the internal mic and loud speaker) seems to me useless except if your name is James, James Bond
