"Suspected spam caller", but still rings, despite settings [Pixel 4a, Android 11]
Hi folks,
I just moved from a Pixel 2 XL with Android 10 to a Pixel 4a on Android 11.
I have been getting a lot of spam calls. Google is great about recognizing them; it says "Suspected spam caller" as the calls come in, has the option to "screen call" or "reply". But I don't want it to even ring.
I've checked my settings:
Phone -> Settings -> Spam and Call Screen -> Call Screen -> Spam is set to "automatically screen. Decline robocalls." and so is Possibly Faked Numbers.
I've rebooted -- no joy. Still rings.
I went to the system settings app and searched for "spam". I have no idea where it found this, but it found "Default caller ID & spam app: Permission controller". There were two choices: None and Phone. It had been set to None. I changed it to Phone -- no difference.
I really don't want the phone to ring when it's spam. It's not screening the call automatically; if I don't touch it, it just times out and goes to voicemail like anything else.
Thanks!

Hello,
I have a Sprint Version of the TP and when I am on the phone and get a text message there's this really loud annoying ring sound that goes off 3 times in a row and I can't hear what my caller is saying when its going off. Is there anyway to remove this or at least change the sound to something that's not as annoying like maybe a quiet 1 beep?
Thanks for the help

Go to settings-> all settings -> personal -> sounds and notification -> notification. Then open up the drop down bow and select Messaging: New Text Message. Next select ring type and select None from the bottom. =)

The "Play Sound" box is Unchecked but the "Vibrate" box is checked. I have no "None" option.
All I have is "Play Sound" (if enabled "repeat"), "Display Message On Screen", "Flash Light For" (Which is grayed out), and "Vibrate".
~~~~~~~~~~~~EDIT~~~~~~~~~~~1/21/09
I went to "settings -> personal -> sounds and notification -> Sounds" and Unchecked the "notifications (alarms, reminders)" and it worked! No more annoying sound while on the phone.
~~~~~~~~~~~EDIT~~~~~~~~~~~~1/22/09
I Noticed when I did the above it disabled my phone from vibrating when I get a text even thou its checked in the "Vibrate" box, so I am back to needing help with this. Is there any way to make it so the phone does vibrate when not in a call but also not make the annoying notify ringtone???
Thanks!
Hello,
I want to create a "sound only profile" (only sound for calls and sms, NO vibration) in the "System Settings / General / Profiles" section, but it seems I can't set the correct values to do that :laugh:
I have played with the "Ring Mode", "Applications Groups", "Vibrate Mode", ... parameters with no luck. Can any1 help me out here?

I'm also on Slim 4.3. I don't actually use the profiles, but having a quick play around with it just now, what happens when you:
1. Pick the settings of a profile (I randomly chose 'Home')
2. Scroll to the bottom of the profile settings
3. Click 'Phone'
4. Turn vibrate off, and sound on.
5. Repeat 3&4 for SMS.
If you also want to disable all vibration in all apps other than the ones specifically listed, then what about repeating steps 3&4 for the 'Other' listing? Ie, two listings above SMS? I would think that would disable all the vibration but make all apps able to play notification sounds, that is for all the apps which aren't specifically listed there. I guess you'd have to configure those individually using steps 3&4.
I've tried several 4.4.2 ROMs - OmniROM, SlibSaber, Beanstalk - in all of which, the option in the phone app settings of "Non-intrusive dialog for incoming calls" does not work for me. When I receive an incoming call, I see the small dialog of the incoming call at the bottom of the screen. The dialog:
1. has a small square on the left, in which the caller picture should appear, but instead there's always the picture of "unknown caller", even though the number that called is in my contacts. When I don't use the "non-intrusive" option, I do see the picture of the caller.
2. does NOT have any buttons on it (accept/reject/ringing icon), so I cannot do anything with the incoming call... I cannot accept nor reject.
On Beanstalk, I got this "non-intrusive" option working only once, after a factory reset, but it was for a limited time (don't know what changed it). With the other 2 ROMs, it hasn't worked (and showed the above symptoms) even after a factory reset.
Any idea what's wrong with it? Others with the same device and the same Beanstalk build said it works fine for them.
Is there even a way to check it? Logs or anything like it?

Anyone? No one encountered this problem? Most of these ROMs come with this option enabled by default! So one would not be able to accept/reject incoming calls when having this problem.
This sounds a dumb question but I cannot find any call settings on my wileyfox swift 2 phone. Ultimately all I want to do is to get it to divert callers to my (giffgaff and already set up) voicemail if I don't answer or am out of zone (all the time if at home); but it's not doing that - I think it just rings and rings and rings. It took me a while to work out why I hadn't got any voicemail messages for the last 2 months! I can't seem to find any settings that are even remotely relevant in the settings menu and in the phone app itself there isn't even a menu (just icons for history; dialing; people/contacts). The phone says "true caller" at the top which appears to be an app that I don't particularly understand or want, though this is probably nothing to do with the immediate issue if anyone knows how to disable this then that might be welcome

To enable your voicemail open the Truecaller app > tap the three stripes in the left top corner > go to settings > got to phone settings > go to calling accounts > tap your sim provider at the top > go to voicemail
My Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite (SM - T225) can make calls and receive calls (SIM card with phone number), works OK.
But it doesn't have proximity sensor. There are many complaints in forums like
"double tap to unlock problem":
when I try to make or answer a call, a dark gray screen pops up over the whole dialing screen with a padlock icon and the words "double tap to unlock".
This "double tap to unlock" for Calls was done for PHONES, to prevent an accidental touch when the phone is at the EAR.
But Tablets are never at the EAR, and this feature is just VERY distracting and completely useless:
I can't do anything on the screen until i double tap and then it just keeps popping back up every 2 seconds.
Is it known what system service is responsible for such unneeded - for Tablets - OVER-protecting)? I would disable it via Package Disabler...
you can always check with dumpsys window which package is in foreground
