Is it possible to initiate an outgoing call without having the phone invoke it's default dialing screen? The point is to be able to make a call without someone knowing I'm making a call.

A feature I miss on my Palm Pre was the ability to initiate a call on the phone and transfer call to bluetooth in my car or vice versa with the single click of a button.
I'm really having a difficult time with the Evo regarding this issue. Once I start the call on my phone, how do I transfer the call to my car without hanging up and calling through the car?
Supposedly the HTC Hero (Sprint) is capable of voice dialing but I do not see any mention of it the user manual. Does it do it? And, if so, how do you initiate it?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am developing 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 I tried using Intent.ACTION_CALL to use existing activity:
Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:" + phoneNumber));
startActivity(callIntent);
But stopping the call seems to be disallowed by default API. For example, enabling airplane mode during the call. Just an example, this hack didn't work for me.
The Situation or: what I'm looking for:
1. Nexus 7 with Google Contacts app
2. Non-android phone (Nokia N8 etc.) or really any dumb phone paired to Nexus 7 via bluetooth.
3. Select phone number from Contacts on Nexus 7 -> connected phone dials the number
4. Talk on phone.
As I have a very extensive and nicely organized list of contacts in my "People" app (Google Contacts) on the Nexus 7, I would just like to be able to select a number there and have the bluetooth-connected dumb phone place the call, so I just need to pick up the phone and talk, not dial the number manually on the phone.
Right now, when I select a number in the Contacts app on the Nexus 7, Skype - of all things - starts and wants to dial that number apparently. Instead of Skype, I want the number to be sent to the connected bluetooth phone. Surely that HAS to be possible somehow?
Even though this should only require a simple ATD command to be sent out via bluetooth and it's a functionality that every automobile bluetooth setup can do (dial from the steering wheel etc. -> connected phone places the call), I couldn't find one single, small app that does that.
In the PC world, this is sometimes known as CTI (computer telephony integration), basically you dial a number on your Windows PC (e.g. using on-board "dialer.exe" or using Outlook, and your phone places the call). So now I'm basically looking for a simple, one-way TTI (tablet telephone integration).
I did find Tablet Talk, which looks very nice, but this one needs a client software to be installed on the phone, which therefore has to be Android, so it's unusable for my case. I'm pretty much looking for a universal solution here, i.e. Android tablet to any dumb or smart bluetooth-enabled phone (or even another android for that matter), which, given that bluetooth is a universally specified protocol, shouldn't be much of a problem, in my limited understanding.
From my point of view, to problems or "routines" would have to be solved/written in an app that does this:
1.) Get the Google Contacts app ("People") on the android tablet to send numbers via bluetooth or to our "middleware app" (to be named) instead of sending those numbers to the Skype app (which might just be a quirky configuration on my Nexus 7, but it illustrates the use case).
2.) ATD command to phone via bluetooth, sent from the tablet
i've just bought a xperia x10 mini pro. after reading the entire user guide, i still can't find the "counter" for total outgoing call time and outgoing sms. Anyone knows where to find this in the phone? previously when i was just W910i, this function was easily located. Someone pls advise and provide some guidance.

Intent dial = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL); dial.setData(Uri.parse("tel:5556") );

But how to detect call pick up the call or refuses to answer?
I tried PhoneStateListener but not working.
noticed something weird with KitKat, and confirmed this on two different phones (Nexus 5 and Moto G but running latest KitKat 4.4.2). On occasion (not every time) the phone seems to auto dial someone after you've ended a call with someone else.
My wife reported the problem first with her Moto G. At first I thought she might just be accidentally hitting a button after calling someone (this is her first smart phone and first touch screen phone) but it's happened several times for her. Final catch was today when I clearly had it happen to me (it also appears it may have happened before once or twice on my phone). I had called someone using my bluetooth in my car, at the end of the call I pushed the hangup button on the steering wheel, and the call ended. Then my wife picked up the phone to call another person and we both noticed it was calling some other friend of ours (that I had txt'd with maybe 2 hours before). It had just started calling this person for no reason. We quickly ended the call (hopefully it didn't bug them), but wow is that annoying.
It seems to happen every once in a while right after hanging up with another call. It seems to call someone in either your recent call or txt history. I'm not sure what might trigger it as it doesn't happen every time, and I'm not sure what number it chooses to call (though it does appear to be someone you recently called or txt'd).
I have an application and i want this application should be listed in Setting screen and can be initiate from there as a separate process. How i can do the same.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an Eris and my recent call log on my phone displays my outgoing calls as Unknown even if they are saved in my Google contacts. I have the outgoing calls set to go through GV option selected on the phone and I'm not sure what's going on. The contact is displayed for a second and then reverts to Unknown. When I add the unknown number to my existing contacts it works and displays properly, but when I call the same number back from my contact list, it shows up as unknown. My incoming calls and missed calls all show up with the proper contact info, so it seems to just be a problem with my outgoing calls. Does anyone know what's going on or how to fix this?

I would get outgoing call duration a call, I thought to get when the persone to the other side answer my call, but with PhoneStateListener we can get the state of a call, but PhoneStateListener changes state to CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK immediately when the outgoing call starts and not when the person to other side answers, so i can't get the effective time of call during a conversation.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have seen, using search, that this question has been asked already in this forum, without answer. To ask again: How can I detect when outgoing call has been accepted ?I can detect when outgoing call has been started using BroadcastReceiver. I can detect when call has ended using PhoneStatusListener. But there is nothing more except this two notifications.Internal phone application detects this event, my HTC magic (running standard cupcake) vibrates shortly when other party accepts call.So is it possible to detect this event in 'cupcake' or 'donut'. If not where can I post feature request to android OS developers to include this notification in next API revision.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOnce ACTION_NEW_OUTGOING_CALL has been broadcasted, I need to capture the following event of the other party answer. Could you advice on how to achieve that please? I know it is possible as the android dialer app changes the green android icon to the person's photo excatly when they pick up. I've had a look at the source of the app on Android handling the outgoing calls.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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) { }
Actually I was working to get duration of outgoing call.But I don't find any way of doing this.Then I decided to get the details of outgoing call from call log.
But my code works only for Activity.I want this to work with Services because I want to get the details related to outgoing call in background using services.What should I do to get these details in background.I currently implement it for Activity.Here is my complete code...

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am new to Android. I would like to create an application that will hang up an outgoing call after it has been ringing for several seconds.
Based on what I have read in the discussions so far, we can abort a call that has just been initiated by using setResultData(null) on the BroadcastReceiver. This just means we can effectively censor calls only. Not exactly what I am trying to achieve.
If the ability to abort a call after it has started ringing is not supported by the SDK, what other means is there for me to achieve this? Are there any internal functions that I can use?
I thought I had seen some application where you can call someone and have it go straight to their voicemail. I've been looking around and haven't been able to find it. Does anyone know if such an app exists.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI downloaded iSkoot, the Skype application for Android. Made an overseas Android to computer call, which was a bit choppy over wi-fi, and then tried calling an overseas landline. To my surprise, iSkoot dialed a 1877 number which, using Skype credit, routed my call over the net to the end number. I wonder why is iSkoot dialing when I call a landline? In effect this is no different than, say, a Net2Phone card. Did T-Mobile restrict it? And then I thought it was a bit hypocritical of T-Mobile to get worked up about VoIP apps when it markets the HotSpot@Home service, which does the same to you landline carrier.

1. Registered a broadcast receiver for this intent "android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL"
2. So using "intent.getStringExtra", i got the user dialed number.
3. After that i need to do some database operation and after that i have to change the user dialed number.
4. Using setResultData(), i will update the dialed number.
here i want to do the database operation in worker thread instead of doing it in OnReceive() of BroadcastReceiver.So from the worker thread how can i use the setResultData()?
