Android :: How To Hang Up On One Of Two Callers

Jan 21, 2010

I have had my sprint HTC Hero for some months now and love all the neat apps I can load. BUT... the actual telephone app seems dysfunctional. I imagine the telephone function is built in and probably cannot be fixed by the average developer and maybe this is also a function of the carrier (sprint in this case).

PROBLEM:

When I have multiple calls my Hero interface provides no easy mechanism to hang up on one caller only. It has just one "End call" virtual button and pressing this drops the entire call interface.

So for example if I accept a call waiting then the prior caller is placed on hold while I talk to the interrupting caller. When I am done talking to the interrupting caller I have only the option to "End call". Pressing this will drop the entire call interface. What happens next depends ...

IF I have hung up on the interrupting caller before they hang up on me then I will still have someone on hold (but nothing shows this). Some seconds later (like 5) the system realizes I still have someone on hold and rings as if a new call. Clunky but at least it works.

IF the interrupting caller manages to hang up before my "End call" registers then the phone ends the only remaining active call which is of course the person on hold. No indication of this either except I wait 5 seconds and realize my phone is not ringing. The lag time on the HTC hero is so large that this happens just about half the time.

IF I don't hang up at all but instead just wait for the interrupting caller to hang up then the phone will put up a new screen that shows that the person who just hung up is still active, the person on hold is on hold, but in fact I will be connected to the person listed as "on hold". So the interface is wrong but at least I have not hung up on the holding caller. In this case it is very unclear if my call waiting slot is free or not. I have had people unable to call when I thought the phone was connected to just one person. Effectively the call waiting slot seems already occupied when in fact it is not. Don't know if this consumes double minutes or not.

To me this seems like an event driven system without a properly deterministic event handler. Or perhaps there is really no way for the phone's understanding of call waiting to by synchronized with the carrier's.

Almost done ranting...

Lastly, while making a call the screen seems to stay active for its full timeout period so that my cheek can sometimes press a virtual button and end the call. I would love it if I could press a button to de-activate the screen sooner but unfortunately that button also terminates the call. Wasn't there supposed to be some mechanism that detects that the phone is cheek bound and deactivates the screen? Could use a manual way do force this.

Motorola Droid X :: Hang Up Icon Unresponsive - Hang Up Call Quickly

Jul 19, 2010

This has happened to me several times in slightly different cases. Several times I've mistakenly placed calls to the wrong people (due to just messing around with the phone).

In a panic, I pressed the "back" button thinking that it will cancel the call. It didn't. I also tried the "home" button. Also no good.

I had to drag down the notifications bar to see the phone call in progress and finally access the red Hang Up button. That worked. The problem is that is is SLOW. And worse, one time the phone would not respond to the button press until after several tries (maybe the CPU was busy on something).

Anycase, that would appear to be a major problem with all these touchscreen-only smartphones - lack of a physical Hangup button.

Is there any workarounds to this? Perhaps some sequence or combo of the existing physical buttons to forcefully hangup an errant call?

Android :: Make Read Callers Name Out Loud

Dec 31, 2009

I haven't been able to find this setting anywhere. On my previous phone, I could have the phone read the name of the person who was calling out loud (it would say: "Call from...and then their name). I came in handy because I like to have the same ring for everyone and just let the phone tell me who's calling. I haven't been able to find an app or setting for this.

HTC Desire :: Callers Say Powered Off - But Is Always On

Apr 14, 2010

Most of the callers complain that my number is switched off but I never power off my handset. I tried with another number and observed the same while my HTC Desire was in front of me and powered on. At times it does connect but most of the time not. I have full bars. I was using HTC Touch Pro2 earlier at the same location for at least 10 months now. Had no issues with network. Got my HTC desire 3 days ago and have this problem ever since.

HTC Desire :: Problems Speaking To Callers

Oct 18, 2010

My lovely Desire is giving me hassle again, when I call someone I can hear them crystal clear, but they cannot hear me, if I cut off and redial sometimes they can hear me sometimes they cannot. I have just done a factory reset to see if that clears the problem, but was just wondering if anybody else has an issue like this?

HTC EVO 4G :: How To Have Clear Pictures On Callers Profile

Jul 22, 2010

If you use Outlook (like me) to control your address book, and you have pictures on some of the names in your address book, and you used the HTC Sync to import those names to the Evo 4G into the contacts on the phone, you have noticed that when you make or receive calls to the people with the pictures on their names that the photo is blurry and looks horrible.

I asked around on here and looked at other places but did not really receive a clear answer. So playing with the phone for a few minutes I figured out what I have to do to get clear pictures on the contacts profiles on the phone.

1. Connect the phone to the computer and put the phone in Disk Drive mode.
2. Explore the phones drive and goto the DCIM folder. Inside there I went into 100MEDIA.
3. You take a picture from your computer or whatever source and transfer it into that folder on the cell phone
4. After you move the picture to the phone, disconnect the phone from the computer or change the phones setting to Charge Only
5. On the cell phone, press Phone. From the Phone screen press Menu - People and choose a person
6. On the persons profile via your phone, scroll down to Edit Contact and press that
7. On the top left corner press the camera icon and choose Gallery on the popup
8. Choose the folder where the picture is, should be in Camera Shots
9. Choose the picture. After you do this you will be shown a "cropping" zone.
10. Crop the image by moving the outlined box around the part of the image you want to show up when you make or receive calls of that person. Press Save
11. Back on the personal profile on the phone just scroll down and press save, and your done.

This method is for transferring pictures of your computer to your phone. To use pictures you've taken on the phone just change the walk through around a little.

Enjoy.

EDIT TO #10 - Cropping Image:
I just saw that when cropping, you can press your finger on the green line and you will get arrows that show up. you can then slide your finger and make the box bigger or smaller. Just a quick update of this tutorial.

HTC Incredible :: Google Voice - Callers Not Always Getting Voicemail

So I have had Google Voice for the past month or so. I have had several people call me and I let it go to Voicemail and then they later tell me that the voicemail wouldn't work for them. They say they don't get my message and instead get some form of automated message that cuts out about halfway through and then ends the call.

Motorola Droid :: Complaints From Callers That Sound Too Low

Nov 18, 2009

I actually dont have the echo problem everyone seems to have. Call quality is really good on my end, but everyone I speak too says that I sound way too low even after they blast the volume on their phone. I have to angle the phone towards my mouth in order for them to hear me at a decent speaking level. Is there a way to increase the microphone sensitivity? I have voice privacy off and EVRC-B on.

Android :: Way To Hang Up Phone Call Via Api?

Feb 23, 2010

I've spend the last couple days looking for a way to hang up a phone cal via the API. I'm guessing for some "security" reason that Google does not allow this. Not being one to give up yet...is there any undocumented way to hang up a phone call? Of course the real solution would be for Google to add a HANG_UP_CALL permission and expose the hangup() method to the public API, but it doesn't appear that will happen.

Android :: How To Hang Up Outgoing Call?

Feb 2, 2009

We are new to Android and creating an application where one of the things we need is to control the outgoing call, at least to be able to stop it from our application. For now we tried using Intent.ACTION_CALL to use existing activity:

Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse ("tel:" + phoneNumber)); startActivity(callIntent);

But we can't figure out whether it's possible to stop launched by this default Call activity. Is it possible? If yes, how? If not, what should we use to write our own Call activity to make a very simple call? We would want this activity only to be used by our application, not for all outgoing calls.

HTC EVO 4G :: In-call Volume - Callers Sound Extremely Faint

May 26, 2010

I've been using my google I/O Evo for a few days now, and i've noticed that i'm having quite a bit of trouble hearing people talk during a call. My hearing is pretty average(I think?) and I'm holding the earpiece directly toward my ear. I've tried pressing the volume rocker to the max for high volume output, but callers sound extremely faint. I've never really had this issue with my past flip phones. Am I missing a volume control somewhere, or do you think i have a defective unit?

Android :: How To Stop / Hang Up Outgoing Call?

Jun 22, 2009

I'm just doing an application that controls who to call and how many rings let the call do. For example, to not wake up someone in the morning we only do 3 tones. I'm using the standard BroadcastReceiver method to stop the call from going out. I explain here for the people who want to do it, also.

[ Manifiest ] 1.- You need enough permissions: <uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />
To make calls and process outgoing calls.

2.- You need a broadcast receiver that catches the broadcast intent:
<receiver android:name=".receiver.PhoneOutgoingCallReceiver" android:enabled="true" >
<intent-filter android:priority="0">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL" />
</intent-filter> </receiver>
[Code]

3.- You controls who can call in the:
@Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { }

HTC Droid Eris :: Block Unknown Callers Incoming Calls?

May 28, 2010

Has anyone found any good call blockers to prevent unknown callers from junking up your voicemail? I've heard about GBlock and aFirewall but they're not complete solutions. looking for something that shuts down an unwanted caller with NO voicemail option. Even better - an app where you put in the numbers you wish to accept and have anyone else who calls in get rejected instead of having to enter numbers you want to have blocked.

HTC Incredible :: Callers Hear Email Vibrate Alert During Calls?

I keep my phone on vibrate most of the time and I've found that when I'm on the phone talking to someone and I get a new email, the phone vibrates so I can hear it, which is great. But the caller on the other end hears it too and they always end up saying 'WTF was that noise'? How to turn this off so callers don't hear the vibrate mode too?

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 :: Callers Can't Hear Me When Answering Phone

Sep 30, 2010

I am having an intermittent problem where callers can't hear me for 6-10 seconds when they call. This is a t best embarrassing and frequently they hang up. As I say the problem is intermittent - sometimes the phone answers as usual. Interestingly, I can hear them talking (and usually saying 'hello? hello?) but they can't hear me and I just keep saying hello until they hang up or until the sound kicks in and we can converse.

I did a factory reset with no improvement, and have also downloaded the PC updater and updated the system with no improvement. Then, I spoke to a friend the other night who described an identical problem with his X10.

Android :: How To Hang Up (disconnect / Terminate) Incomings Call?

May 3, 2010

"How do you hang up incoming calls (in Android of course)?"First, I know this question has been asked and answered several times, and the response is always "you can't". But if we look in the market we get a few applications (all private software, no access to the source code that do this action, such as CallFilter, Panda firewall and others.So does somebody know how these apps do the hang up action, (or terminate, or disconnect or whatever you call it)?And other question, if the first don't get a response.. does somebody know how send an incoming call to the voice mail?Of course, all questions are about how to do it programmatically. So with the voicemail question I know there's a flag in contacts that is used for that, but like I said, I'd like to know the programmatical way.
