Can anyone tell me of an app whereby when I call someone and they're on the phone, my phone tells me. I know Samsung's Touchwiz does this. HTC doesn't do it with Sense though and I'm running CM which doesn't do it either.
Bump?

AFAIK, Android does not have that feature. Samsung and Sony add that by themselves
It actually sucks to think that something so basic is patent encumbered. I'm guessing that's why I'm also yet to find an app to provide this missing functionality.

Doesn't it beep faster for you when you call someone that's talking to someone else?

Nope, if I call someone and they're on a call, my phone just rings normally leaving me none the wiser.
Lulz, that's really odd. For me it beeps faster and hangs up 2 sec later...

In terms of non-Android I know Nokia does and I was surprised to be told that Apple doesn't. Am really quite gutted that this can't be done with a simple app.
It works on my Inc s. I've enabled call wait from my service provider, so when I'm on a call and someone else calls, I get a series of beeps with the other caller number or contact data flashed on my phone. I just have to accept, reject or ignore the second call and the first caller gets into hold... its all available on your phones too, you only need to enable it in call settings and of course, with your service provider too

That's the wrong way round. I have mine enabled for people calling me. But what I'm referring to with this thread is a notification to say that when I call someone else, I'm alerted to the fact that they're already on a call.
@Sabret00the
Wouldn't that be a function that the person you're calling, needs to enable with his service provider? I usually get a recorded message saying that the person you are calling is on another call... wait for him to respond, or hang up & dial later. The phone displays number busy... isn't that so? Or then I'm confused....
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA
Nope. It's a standard feature for Samsung's, Sony's and Nokia. If I ring from my IncS and someone is on the phone, it just rings normally. If I ring from a Samsung it states on screen that "the person you're dialling is on a call".

there are tons of threads and requests for this feature,like sms delivery report.Its a manufacture dependent feature.As far as i know it is called "gsm supplimentary service" n i guess on this situation when the user is busy on a call the gsm server sends a code to the phone n the phone then shows a toast notification.All nokia ,samsung and sony ericsson phone have that feature and htc , motorola and iphone doesnt have that I dont know it can be done by an app. may be .. by somethin in the "telephony.app" ... who knows since there is no developer interest in this and

Not sure if anybody else has seen this app, it lets you change your caller id when calling somebody else
http://store.androidguys.com/product.asp?id=29829
I can't even find it on the Bluff My Call website and its not in the market as far as I can tell. Its free, says its supported by ads, when you make a call it gives you a 10 second add to listen too. It says it can change your voice and record your call but when I tried it said the servers didn't support those features. Also, you can only make a 2 minute call with it.

Yeah, pretty much sums it up, has anybody used it before, seems kind of strange but could be a very good app?

it works -.- all i can say lol
I've been accused lately of having screwed up the person who I was immitatings service, being told that they can't go online with their tilt, and that they're missing calls. Can anyone verify that there is absolutely no possible way that this could happen?
bluff my call
ive tried it works great, havent received any calls or text from marketers...so far so good!!
do anyone know if bluffmycall show up on ur account as a hidden fee or what..is it a free program cuz its on the market if anyone looking for it here is the apk
I've been using this app for months! no problems guys! have some fun with friends and call someone when they dont pick up my calls. Doesn't do any harm trust me! Its free for 2 min. but you can't use any features unless you buy minutes!
Cant get it to work in Singapore... The country code is 65 so I tried +65 and +0065 and nothing works. Getting error saying invalid phone number...
is there an app that will change my phone number to what ever i want? my sister says she has a friend that has it on his htc but she doesnt know what its called and i was just wonder if there was something like that?
its probably an HTC android phone... and its likely a VOIP app... I dont think there's any way to broadcast a different number when calling out using your regular cellular service. You can BLOCK your number!
I could be totally wrong and someone can chime in here if I am.
will my sister said she was playing with the phone and it can pretend to be any number but she says she doesnt know the name XD
Damn.. I remember back in the g1 days I used a apparently that I could put what ever number I wanted to show up on the persons caller id. And it would let me change my voice to a high pitch or low or just normal. If I find it ill let you know.

Pretty much as long as you tell the person you are recording them, its legal. Also, I believe the "line you own thing", otherwise how are all these celebrity phone calls leaked w/o major lawsuits where the action of recording and not defamation or whatever was the base of the lawsuit. Then again, pretty much if you are rich (celebrities, politicians) you can get away with just about everything anyway!

The best way I found to do this is to use the Firefly ROM. It is a Froyo rom and is no longer supported, but still works flawlessly. There is a call recording zip that you can flash that will add call recording to the ROM natively. Take a look at the following links:
Firefly ROM Page
Firefly ROM Download
Call Recording Zip - take a look at the second post on the page for more mods to the ROM
Remove Call Recording Zip
After using the Nexus 4 for 24 hours, I have found I have two gripes with this phone. The first is there is no audible alert if you receive a text message while on a call. In other words, if someone sends you a text message while you are on a call, you will not be made aware of it until you turn on the screen and look at it. The other gripe I have is the call waiting beep is almost completely inaudible, and the second beep sometimes doesn't even occur. In other words, if you are on a phone call, and a second call comes in, you most likely will not know about it and thus will not be know to answer the call. Today I have missed several phone calls because I was on the phone and a call waiting beep could not be heard. As an experiment, I got on a call and then called my phone from a third phone just to hear the volume of the call waiting beep...it is so low it may as well not be there. To make matters worse, after the first beep, the second beep takes so long to occur, your voicemail may likely pick it up either right before or right after the second beep occurs.
Software, not nexus 4 issue. I'm sure there's an app or will be implemented into ROM to solve your problem.

The software comes stock on the Nexus 4 thus it is a Nexus 4 issue. Not being alerted to a second call isn't something that can be easily excused with, "there's an app or will be implemented into a ROM". A person shouldn't need to install apps or hack their phone just so they can know when a second call is coming in...after all it's a smartPHONE..

Maybe not being alerted of calls isn't a big deal to you, but there are some of us that get important calls throughout the day, and not being alerted to them is not acceptable. Call me old-fashioned but I expect a phone to actually be able to handle phone duties, and alerting me to a second call is one of those duties. That's a pretty basic expectation, and a glaring flaw that needs to be corrected.

It's clear I like the phone? I haven't stated how I feel about the phone besides the two issues I have with it. Also, for your information, complaining is how issues get resolved because it brings it more attention. Some of us aren't content with resting on our laurels and accepting the subpar. Furthermore, 3rd party software should not be required just to get simple basic functionality. Instead of excusing shortcomings, you should be demanding a complete device. Also, to be clear, I want to like the phone and want to see it succeed. I have a vested interest in it (which I won't get into publicly), so it actually benefits me for it to be a good phone and do well. That said, if it's falling short somewhere then it needs to be corrected and not just covered up.

It's set to have both an audible alert and vibrate on incoming messages. The problem is, during a phone call, neither of these things happens. There literally is no alert during a phone call other than the icon on the screen. In other words, if you don't happen to be looking at your screen, you will never know you have a text message if you are on a phone call.

First of all, it's not a Nexus 4 issue, it's a 4.2 issue.
Second of all, I doubt Google would remove a feature they have had since...idk 2.2(the first version of Android I had). Try a restore, or mess with the settings...or maybe you're holding it wrong.
I'm trying to set ring tone for a caller I don't want to hear from to silent. The caller is one of those sales calls. where is says set ringtone for this contact and I tick silent. When I leave contacts and come back it now says default. How can I set it to silent or how else to block that caller?

I've never tried it but I imagine that if you used the voice recorder on your phone in a silent area and ran it for a couple of seconds that you could set that as the ringtone for that number. It's worth trying if you don't want to download something.

You do know you can call your provider and have numbers blocked right? And you're on an android development site full of roms, themes, apps, etc., and you're afraid to install an app that will hang up on an unwanted caller? Idk if you should be on this site.

An Android phone is not like a computer the apps are kept secure and away from the important system files as long as the phone is not rooted (rooted is like having admin rights in windows but with android you have to jump through hoops to activate the rights). If a app is doing something that you do not like just uninstall it and it will be like it was never there and it will have no ability to be able to destroy anything on a "stock" phone. Feel free to download and install whatever you want from the play store it will not cause damage that will cannot be easily reversed.
