Umm you could either turn off your phone or put the number is the reject #.
Not sure what you're trying to do here..

Settings --> Call Settings --> Voice Call --> Call Forwarding --> Always Forward
Give ur vmail number there.
U can get ur vmail number from below options where it says forward when busy/unanswered/etc.
I never tried this before, but its something u cud give a try.

Generally, apps kick in after signal reaches phone. If app takes a second or two to kick in, it may trigger a ringing on both ends till the app takes over. Disabling in settings sets it at carrier level, so ur phone won't even know there was ever a call.
Just my opinion on using an app to block calls.

Good point.
Easy Filter quickly throws the phone in-then-out of silent mode so you never hear or feel (vibrate) the call come in. If it wasn't for Google Voice (use it for voicemail) alerting me that I missed a call, I wouldn't know it took place.
Also, being that it logs who is calling, you get to see a report of who gets blocked and how often they call and when. It comes in handy if you're being harassed/annoyed.

Well I ran a search on the market, guess I wasnt looking in the right place... Thanks!

Q & D
A sneaky but effective way to block all calls and send them directly to voicemail (with the voicemail greeting message) is to turn on airplane mode.
I'm using this because I'm switching phones and I want callers to the old number to know what the new one is. Eventually I will retire the old number.

Touch Tones on Wing !!!

This might sound like a stupid question but, have any of u guys been able to send touch tones on your wing. I mean like not through the keypad, but like a no. from the contacts list. Almost every phone has this feature. I just thought i would discover it after some days. 5 months now and zilch. Please tell me i must be overlooking some little thing.
Thanks,
I don't really understand the question.

You mean like being able to press and hold the number 2 and have it dial your girlfriend type of thing? If that's the case and you're using the HTCTouch pad, just press down while you're in the pad.

I am sorry for being so unclear. I usually use calling cards to call my home country. In order to do that i have to dial a access number, a pin number and then the long distance phone number. I had an older Nokia 6019i. In that phone
i use to have my dads phone number stored as....
xxx(calling card pin)xxx(long distance number).
I mean all those numbers i use to store in the number field of the phone book entry. Then i just use to call the access number. Select call options from the Nokia call menu. Then select "send touch tones". Search for the phone number as you would do in any phonebook. Select the number and press send. It would send all those numbers as tones.. as if i was dialing them...but much much faster.
Hope that clears it up or messes up the question even further
I found this in a quick search. May it can help you.

This new version, which is in BETA, works on Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Mobile 5.0 devices. It is resolution aware, so it will work fine on QVGA and Landscape screens.

Here's another one called Sunnysoft Calling Card
http://sunnysoft.com/software.php?idarticle=265#screenshots
Seems to be a little nicer than the other one.
Hey duprade,
Thanks for all the info man. Will try both of them. Its a pity that such a feature which is natively available on lower end devices, is not there on a WM device. But thanks again, those applications will definitely fit my purpose.

[Q] New Voice Search with Commands question

Sorry, I know that there are explanations on other device forums, but I can not for the life of me make this work and its driving me mad.
Someone please tell me if I have to have data plan to do this and it will save everyone a lot of time.
I use titanium to remove the google search/voice search/voice dialer
reboot
install new google search/voice search from here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753097 (which is the only place I could find the apks.) and it should work as everyone has said... but every time it gives me connection error. Does it really need internet access to send a text message??? Generally it wont even let me finish talking before it says it.
Am I screwed by not having a data plan, or is there a way around this?
I am using vogue with incubus's 2.2 super froyo rls 12.
Thanks for your time.
I dont know the new voice commands.
But usually it uploads your recorded voice, than the google servers will try to find out what you said and than give you back the text or now the text and the actions the phone has to do.
So you need data for voice commands but not for sending a sms or something.
Correct me if im wrong.

Unfortunately, it DOES require a data connection...
But for anybody who has data, here's how I got it working...
No need to uninstall/remove anything
- Install/Update "Voice Search" from the Market. I couldn't get Google Search to install.
- Open Voice Search.
- When the window appears with the things you can say it doesn't show the whole window. I think there's 2 buttons at the bottom that you can't see. How I got past this was to press Down 4 time, Left once. This will select the "ok" or whatever button, and you won't have to do it anymore.
EDIT: Here's the pic I posted in the other thread to help anybody else.

THANK YOU. You just made my weekend. I couldn't figure out how to get past this
Another way around the startup dialog is to start it in landscape mode. The dialog fits in landscape mode. But I'll try to fix the portrait dialog with some apktool magic anyway.

How to permanently disable bluetooth Audio

On older Windows Mobile phones you could delete the codec for Audio and leave the one for phone. Maybe you could do this on older Android too, I can't remember.
Now it's just a Check Box to disable it.
Problem is, every time I start my car it gets re-enabled when it connects the phone. And sometimes will even start the music player on the phone. even when that source is not selected.
Car is 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 8.4AN Nav package.
It's Nav is no where as good as the Nav in the phone.
While this isn't an answer for bluetooth on the whole,
On the 8.4, go to the bluetooth settings, go to the second tab on the left for audio device, and disconnect there (while leaving the phone connected). As long as it has seen that once, I don't believe it attempts to reconnect it again unless you tell it to specifically.

I've done that, It will reconnect next time you start the car.

good luck with this though
I'm not sure if this applies to HTC phones but on samsung ones you can longpress whichever pair device, select options, and uncheck media. This should disable music and should still alow phone calls to come thru

I think that's what the OP meant when they said:
"Now it's just a Check Box to disable it."
If not, that's entirely valid

Correct. I can disable it fine. Until the next time you start the car and it rechecks it.

How to use answering machine

I set up the greeting for the answering machine and enabled it but calls still just go to my regular voicemail? How to I properly set this up?
Check Step 5 to adjust time before answering machine start record call
Step 1
Go to settings on the Sony Xperia Z2. You can access settings via the notification bar or the app launcher.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 2
Open the Call settings option.
Step 3
You’d be able to see quite a few options in the 'Other Call Settings'. Tap on 'Answering Machine' to proceed.
Step 4
Simply hit the checkbox against the Answering Machine. Now, let’s take a look at the options available allowing you to take the maximum benefit of this feature.
Step 5
The 'Pick up after' option gives you the ability to configure the exact time when the call should be answered automatically. You can also use this feature when you’re roaming, although you’ll incur charges for incoming calls.
Step 6
'Greetings' is a vital feature, since this is where you’ll be recording the voice message you want to be played back to callers. You can also record different messages for various situations and then simply select any of them, depending upon your need. Sadly, there’s no granular control and all the callers will get to hear the same message – you can't limit this to certain contacts or set different greetings for different ones.
Step 7
The best part about the feature is that the caller can also record a message for you after hearing your greeting, ensuring that you can get important messages in case of an emergency.
Here’s the Answering Machine feature in action
You can also pick up the call when the person is leaving you a message, if you deem it important.
There you go, you’ve successful set up the Answering Machine feature on your swanky Sony Xperia Z2! Let us know in comments below how this feature works for you and whether you’d like such options to be available on other smartphones.
Thanks got it working, the only thing I don't like is if I reject the call, it sends them to my T-Mobile Voicemail instead of the built in answering machine.

You can have the voice mail service turned off by your provider, I do this by default as mine charged for listening to voice mails.

Redmi Note 9 message notification "indicator"?

I've just taken delivery of a Note 9, and I can't find anyway of configuring the phone so that once the "screen saver" screen has gone dark, one can be aware of a delivered message (if you didn't hear it) without constantly keep "liveing" the phone up with the power button to check.
All my previous Samsung and HTC phones had a little discrete flashing light, which made one aware of any awaiting incoming messages, without having to physicaly constantly check the phone every few minutes, "just in case'!
I hopeing that there is a way to incorporate a feature like this, or it goes straight in the bin?!
You can rule out in battery savings or go the app and set up what you need.my message just pup up.you can even set it as a hidden message ,just a notification

Thanks for taking the time to reply, but I forgot to say that you're dealing with an idiot here!!
I've gone all through the settings menu and turned off anything that relates to saving power, in any shape or form, but still no joy.
As for creating an application to reconfigure the phone, I'll afraid that that is way beyond me, unless you can actually list me a "stage by stage" set of instructions to preform it?
I am quite willing to give you/someone a small fee to do this on my behalf, as it will save me throwing it away. Ta

Did someone just send me something, if so, could it be sent again, as I went to open it, and it dropped out of sight, never to be found again!
This is I think all steps to get the message on the front screen.Message on locked display light up screen.
