[Q] Android 4.4.2 and Skype help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First of all excuse my poor english and If I am not positing this on the correct forum.Whenever I used to click on a contact to call them it showed me the option if I wanted to call them with the "normal phone" or with Skype, now suddenly that option disappeared and it dails directly with the normal phone, and I hadn't selected "always perform this action". When i go to "default applications" there is nothing releated with making calls either, in fact I only have "messaging" there, any advice? i want to have this feature back, it was very useful to me, thank you very very much!

[Q] Is it possible to ignore calls from a number?

i would appriciate if someone can help me with this. I want to know if i can ignore calls from some number automatically.
thx
Attached is Blacklist (freeware), and it should work when installed to main memory. On that note, my favorite call filter for WM has been MagiCall (payware). Anyway, hope this helps...
Best to all,
R
thanks for the help...
EDIT:
Is there no way to do it internally through WM itself, without any software?
tap the phone button, then the option icon, then options,
or
settings, menu, all settings, personal, phone, gsm/umt, call barring

NEED URGENT HELP- Calling not working?? (CM7)

idk what's happening, but every time I try to make a phone call
it comes up with a popup
"No Internet calling account"
"There are no internet calling accounts on this phone. Add one now?"
I press "add" then it goes to a thing called
"Internet calling (SIP) accounts"
Only thing there is "REVEIVE INCOMING CALLS- REDUCES BATTERY LIFE so i checked that" then it still doesn't work
At bottom it says Add account
...but idk what this does..
PLEASE HELP.

It was caused by a wonderful app called "Voice changer"
it was a good app, let me change my number to w/e i wanted and call others, change my voice, but didn't let me make actual calls. lol.

[Q] selective internet calling (app or widget)?

Hi,
(sorry if wrong forum)
I have an SGS2 running ICS and have setup my android's SIP client (internet calling) in phone > settings > internet call settings ("Accounts" and "Use internet calling", at the bottom).
I call many international numbers through sip. If I set the option "Use internet calling" to "Ask for every call", then every time I dial a number it asks whether to use "Mobile phone call" or "Internet call". If I choose the latter, then the call is made through my sip provider saving me lots of money.
It would be really useful if there was an app that would intercept calls to certain numbers I configure and change to internet call mode on the fly. The "prefixer" app does something close with prefixing/suffixing numbers.
Alternatively, I would also be happy with a widget that allows me to switch that phone option between "Ask for every call" and "Only for Internet calls" when tapped, so I don't have to navigate through menus all the time. For a dev this shouldn't be that hard I presume since it would just alter an existing OS option.
Is there any app/widget for this?
Cheers
I'm not aware of any apps/widgets, but using ICS you can simply put those numbers in as "Internet Call" fields.
Set your outbound SIP calling preference to "Internet Calls Only," then edit each of your overseas contacts and move their international numbers into the "Internet Call" field (click "Add New Field," then select "Internet Call" from the list).
This page explains it much better;

Thanks. The problem is that I visit those countries often enough to not want to do that. When I'm in that country, then I'd like to call direct s editing numbers back and forth becomes unattractive.
I found out that the "Prefixer" app actually does allow this. I match the numbers and automatically add the suffix @sip.domain.com (or whatever the SIP proxy host name is). It works but sometimes does not intercept the outgoing call so I have to be vigilant and cancel it quickly. Most of the times it works so I'm ok with the solution.
p.s. there are tons of SIP apps, some which do have call intercept features, but they don't work very well from what I found.

On Google Play there's the SIP Switch Widget, which does what you're searching for.
You can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.siebeck.sipswitch (unfortunately I'm not yet allowed to post links...)
Yeah this is a bummer for me. I wish I could just hold the call button for example to see a popup internet call / not if SIP (internet calling) settings were filled in Phone Settings. Another great feature would just be to define the local area code IE:416 and everything else would be over internet calling.
Simple eh? Too bad Google couldn't figure it out

Works for me. Dialer settings don't always show the correct settings, but calls are made with whatever the widget says they should be. To see the current settings, unload the dialer from memory, then check the selected setting.

Huh, now I was able to add the widget. It seems it works OK. Thanks for advice regarding dialer.

Caller blocked by mistake

Hello
I have annoying problem.
I use GO Dialer and GO Contacts EX.
Call receiving screen looks like stock.
I had a call from friend, he wasn't saved in contacts yet. When he was calling and i went to pick the call i think i pressed something because question popup saying something like "Do you want to block something? Yes/No".
I think i pressed "No" but now my friend can't call me. Phone does not respond, like no call is being done, only for that one number.
Also i don't have him in my calls history.
Is this known issue? Any solutions?
Thanks.

Caller ID not functioning (Fulmics ROM) - People can't see my number when I call

Hi all,
I hope you guys can help me. I'm trying out the Fulmics ROM on my LG G3 (D855) and I like it, but when I call anyone, that person can not see my number, instead they see "Private number".
Firstly, I've already checked the Caller ID settings with my carrier (Optus - Australia), and there is no issue there; it is turned on by default.
Secondly, I did not have this problem using the stock ROM - my number appeared as usual on the other person's phone whenever I made a call.
Lastly, I saved my number in the Contacts section of my phone under "ME" in the hope that this would solve the problem, but it hasn't worked.
When I try to access the "Additional settings" in the "Call settings" section, it gives me an error every time, saying, "Service unavailable". When I hit OK, it shows the additional settings, but "Caller ID" is greyed out and it says "Loading settings", which it never actually does - it stays greyed out regardless of how long I leave the phone in that part of the menu.
I don't know if it's a problem with the SIM, or if I've made an error with the settings, or if it is a permissions issue. I would appreciate some help with the problem.
Thank you,
Nick
I love to have that error of yours LOL.
Try using this app to fix your SIM Meta info.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gnufabio.simeditor
Needs ROOT and Xposed.
PS: I never had this issue but I heard people use this to fix it.
Maybe that's a cool feature of your rom (i would love this if i had this feature)
Thanks for your help.
I tried using the app you suggested but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I installed Xposed and have root access as well; I enabled the module in Xposed and added my phone number. It all worked but didn't have any effect when I made calls - it still says "Private number" on the other end.
The same issue still persists when I try to access the "Call settings" - "Caller ID" is still greyed out and says "Loading settings".
Thanks again for the advice though. I'll keep trying to find a solution and post it here if I do.

Sorry to hear that, hope you find a solution to your problem. Take a look in your settings app as well, the guy who made your ROM might have added something there.
And since you said it, I've checked my call settings and it is greyed out too (screenshot attached). Maybe my carrier doesn't want me to change it. Who knows..

Thanks again. I'll keep searching the settings in case I find the problem. Strangely, the "Call waiting" option is not greyed out on my phone, just the Caller ID option.
P.S. Sorry I can't attach a screen-shot because the forum rules won't permit me to do so until I've posted at least 10 times.
