Hi
I've been using tasker for years now, but I still can't find the way to make calls in background mode. Every other task is usually made in background except for calls. I have a task that calls my isp to get a msg with my data usage and balance. Also for my car gps I make calls for it to send me the location.
I want this calls to be made in background, and not to interrupt any other activity that I could be doing on my phone. Is there any chance?
A million internet points to whoever helps me
as i know, smartphone is just a phone in the end ...
and the propose of phone, is to make calls...
so, its not supriseing that andorid os is do not offer any solution to your problem..
what you can do,
is just "press home button, when during a call"
and mute the call volume until the call will end ...
its will simulate the effect you looking for, at the best way ..
if you can, try to make "retrun to last app" for avoid the discomfort it make..

I've got a wav recording of my baby laughing as my SMS incoming message sound which is around 10seconds long.
In my old sony ericsson phone (ordinary phones), whenever I receive a message, I just press any button and it stops the sound. I love the longer sound but on certain occassions, like in my office, I would like to turn off the sound using a single button.
With the Kaiser, I tried to press all buttons but it can't be silenced right away. It has to play the recording until the end. My option is to go to the HTC home plugin / audio, then set it to silent mode, which may take a little longer, or I just try to cover the speaker with my hand. biggrin.gif
Would you know of any shortcuts to stopping the sound?
Thanks.
Have you tried moving the wheel on the left down-wards?
Thats what I do when my phone "rings" when someone calls... just knock the wheel down and it silences it
tried it, didn't work.
thanks..
Same here. I chose a song as my incoming SMS that was 3 minutes long. I had to go to the notification settings page to silence it.
Any help would be appreciated.
As the guy above said, scroll the wheel down a turn or two. That silences incoming call alerts.
(And a 3 minute song as a ringtone is not the best idea. Edit it down to 20 seconds)

That didn't work for me with SMS. I scrolled down, up and hit every button on the device and it still wouldn't work. I edited down to about 10 seconds. That's well long enough for an SMS.
same problem
I’ve the same problem with my tytn.....if I don’t have a long sound I don’t see a new sms or mms even if sometimes the short sound it’s better!
also I’ve tried all buttons but they wouldn't work!
So...if don’t have any hardware solution…could I have some chance for a software solution?
How about just leaving you phone on vibrate when at work instead of disturbing everyone around you
Easy solution to you problem and your coworkers will probably thank you for it...
Or you know, using Audacity to pare down the length of the sound file?
thx for the answers....
i work in a lonely room...and the song volume isn't a problem...but i leave the phone everywhere...so i would like to stop the music sound when i've find the phone and i've read the new message!
anybody know of any freeware to do this? I searched around a little but no luck.
Huh. Can you expand on this a little please. So I know what Im looking for?
I think he means he wants bluetooth to be turned on automatically with incoming calls so he can use his headset, and afterwards for it to go back off to save battery.
Sounds like it would be useful, I'm interested too... if anybody knows...
I use a H300 motorola BTooth device as hands free. Since I don't want it to continuously transmit when I'm having it on my ear, I keep it switched off. When the phone rings I push the button to power it on and automatically as it powers on, it answers the call. When I finish I just push the button to power it off.
By that I mean that you can actually power on and off the BT everytime you receive a call. It doesn't have to be automatically powered on and off by itself.
Probably more than you want but phoneAlarm http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html does what you want. My experience though is that it takes too long for Bluetooth to turn on. Not too long that you miss the call but a good few extra rings.

Sometimes I never hear it, sometimes people say I hang up on them.. it really is difficult to hear/deal with ppl who say I hang up on them.. is there any way to make it call for as long as the caller stops?
if there is not a fault with you phone try this:
go to:
Start/settings/phone then select services tab on the bottom bar, select call forwarding and get settings, after a few seconds it should bring up a menu where you can adjust how long it takes before it goes to voicemail or even disable voicemail like i have done.
Im on Voda so dunno what other networks will be like
I have a problem with my ringtone that is driving me nuts. When the ringer starts, it is very quiet for maybe a second or two and then suddenly goes to the full ringer volume. I would like it to start at the preset volume level and continie; i.e. get rid of the soft-then-loud and just keep the loud.
For additional background I used ringdroid to make a few ringtones from .mp3s. The original .mp3 and created ringtones created sound perfect played through a media player so it is not the files themselves rather something weird on the phone.
This is one of the last items for me in setting up my new system so please help!
You can't fix that. Its a standard Samsung thing that they do with all devices.. No way as of yet to get around it.
This is terrible! Isn't there a way to remove this setting? This is an Android device after all!
Fret not, my friend.
As there's no solution to the native ringing behavior, here's a workaround to help offset the first low ring by extending the time your phone rings before rolling over into voicemail.
1. On your phone, dial *#61# and click Send.
2. Some information should be displayed: number that the calls are being forwarded to and the delay before the forwarding engages.
3. Write down the number (including +1)
4. Dial **61*+1xxxyyyzzzz*11*30# and hit Send. +1xxxyyyzzzz is the number you wrote down previously, 30 is the delay in seconds. The delay can be set in 5 second increments, 30 is maximum
5. Dial *#61# to verify that the new settings are active.
Dialing *#61# as instruction 5 suggests told me that my phone forwards to voicemail after 30 seconds.
I will give this a try. Any explanation for why this works?

Its not that it changes the tone like he said. All this does is make your phone ring for a longer period of time. I think the default is 20 secs.. using the settings above you extend that time by 10 more secs of ringing which helps so you can catch the phone. You still aren't stopping the actual soft first ring.
Exactly. This used to be changeable only via AT&T until I discovered the procedure elsewhere. Helps alot.
Hmm. This is not quite what I was looking for; I want to hear the beginings of my ringtones! Does anyone know the exact time the ringtone is softened? I guess I could use an .mp3 editor and bad nothingness to the beginning...
I downloaded audacity and put some blank space in the front of each one of my ringtones. 2 seconds seems to be the perfect amount of dead time for the ring to come up at full volume. This is actually kind of nice now vecause it gives me two seconds to reject the call before it starts making noise, so if I am in a meeting or something and forget to turn the ringer off (never happens I can dump the call.
Thanks Jack45, worked perfectly!
Hello,
Just got a pixel 3. I need a do not disturb profile. I have one but it's not working. I do not want any interruptions while I sleep, except if it's from a favorite contact. Also if they text, I want to send them a response if it's important or emergency please call. (I have children, one with autism. If I can take a small snooze during te day would lie to do that without missing a call or text from his school)
I had similar profiles from years ago. But, as I keep upgrading my phones, I am having difficulty. Even though, I have do not disturb on, Something is still vibrating and ringing. When I go to notifications, I can't find anything.
To sum it up:
Dnd to ring/vibrante Favs only. All other notifations silent no vibration. But, need alarm.
If revive a text, to respond with please call.
Thank you.
