Can anyone tell me if there's a way to block certain callers using the stock phone app? If not, any recommendations on adding a call blocking app? Looked at Google's Phone app, but evidently the Sony phones aren't compatible.
Thanks in advance.

Dear users,
i'm a new junior developer with no experience on Android.
I would like to ask you (skilled developers) if you think is possible to find a way to develop an app to intercept incoming calls and forward/divert them to another a Google talk, Skype etc. or voip extension through a phone's internet connection (wifi, hsdpa..).
In case is not possible with the official functions, can be done on rooted phones?
[In case there is not chance It maybe possible using a trick/automation like intercept the incoming calls and use the installed app (skype..) to call another contact and forward the voice]
Thanks in advance and sorry if i missed some already present similar thread (i didn t find any)
Hello, is there anyway to block all unknown "private" calls? I've seen mention on here for other phones, but they all include the galaxy line, stock android, or downloading an app. The block callers function on the one doesn't seem to allow blocking by contact name and requests a phone number to block. Anyone find a way to do this without downloading an app to run in my background?

Hi,
A guy i met has one of these z2 handsets and he was showing me how it has an integrated voicemail app.
At first glance i thought it was visual voicemail but he said it wasn't and that it was z2 specific.
Can anyone clarify this, as visual voicemail isn't available in australia for android!
Thanks

The voicemail app is stand alone and is independent from your carrier voicemail. It would be expected that you would not use your carrier service if you wanted to use the app.

That is how I understand it.
No diversions are used, simply the app would answer the call after a nominal time frame and accept the call and play your recorded voice message and also record the message that has been left.
The other interesting thing is the integration with the call history, as it will show when a recording has been left.
It all seems completely viable, and I'm wanting to try it my android handset.
Does this actually exist on the z2?
When the z2 was announced I heard it had this feature. Completely forgot about it until now. Not seen anything on the device though

Works well for normal calls, though doesn't answer sip calls even if using the stock sip client.
Also kind of obvious but not explicitly stated - it will only answer if the phone has registered the incoming call. So no off or out of service messages.

Hey folks,
So here's the rundown.
My wife is deaf and communicates a whole lot via SMS. She cannot use voice telephony at all.
I am on Verizon, and they do have the Z2 available. I was looking at tablets that should support SMS.
Verizon does SMS via CDMA only so most of their tablets won't do SMS period. They tell me it is impossible, except I have a friend with an older Nexus 7 with CDMA and it works perfectly with straight SMS.
I have a tablet with LTE, and when I send a SMS message from it, it says it is coming from my phone, not the number assigned to the tablet....(this uses the built-in Verizon Messages app)
What I want to know is if I can add an SMS app, set it as the default, and then actually use it?
In the store, I installed 8SMS but Verizon appears to have removed the menu entries for setting default SMS app, and nor could I do it from within the application.
So, two things: Has anyone done this? Could someone give it a try?
Also, I am reading a whole lot about issues with the touch screen I had never heard of. Is this really wide-spread, or just a small sampling of this model? I really want a solid device for her to use. This will replace her phone and existing tablet if I can get the SMS to work. Do you recommend this device overall?
Yes, I know, I could install some crap app that emulates SMS but I really need to port her number and have the reliability of SMS. Frankly, I don't trust the companies providing SMS gateways on the internet...
I could possibly port her number to Google Voice, and just have her use that. Anyone know how reliable that would be?
Hi all,
I have AT&T Call Protect, and want to use the feature to send any number not in my contacts to my VoiceMail. However, as soon as I started it up it said it was going to send my Contacts to their server. No thanks.
Can anyone think of a FOSS solution that would allow me to do this?
Thanks.
