[APP][8.0] Question on swapping out call handling - Moto G6 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I'm finding the default call handling app that comes with the Moto G6 is quite messy. Can I swap out the call handling with a better app. What would be some recommended apps. I don't mind paying for a clean no-ad/junk app.
Thanks

Possible? : call record -> voicemail app

On every single smartphone I got I was hoping this kind of application would pop up.
Is it possible, on Android, to record incoming calls?
Then it would be possible to make a voicemail application that would be usefull.
I'd remove the provider-voicemail feature, and let my phone handle the pickup-calls.
This way it is possible to view, save, store or, maybe most important, delete any voicemailmessages in a application on your phone. You could export them to your pc, mail them to yourself etc, since they are all stored on the phone.
Would be a killer app and, for business users, I think a dev can really make some nice money on it
Why not just use Google Voice. Seems alot easier to me, less processors any storage intensive and accomplishes just about everything you're looking for.
EDIT: Just saw you're in the Netherlands. Sorry.
Yep.
I don't think it is going to get here. Besides, GSM-calls will be around for some time, and businesswise I'd like to keep my current number.
Is it technically possible ? Look, in the end we will all be VOIP-ing. And even when going on voip based calls, the user interface and the biggest part of the program would still be usable, only the grabbing of the files would be easier
There has been threads about this already. Please use search.

call filter w/ white list for gingerbread

hey there,
i'm looking for a quality call filter application which has a white list and profiles (time/day related blocking) and actually works.
i'm running cm7 and haven't found a good one yet, call filter, afirewall, extreme call blocker droid, those are the ones i tested recently.
what i'd prefer too, is to get the application from a trusted dev, w/o handing over gps location data to some devs in asia.
if the filter has easy adding for contact groups it would be perfect.
have you guys discovered something that fits my needs?
thanks for taking the time to help me, i appreciate it!

Yep, the two best ones are made by the same company:
Root Call Blocker (for general use):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta
Call Master (for advanced users):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist
These are the only blockers that completely block everything without turning the screen on. Need to be rooted though.
:0 never heard of those two applications. seems the dev is quite an exzentrik person.

Custom Contact Message Alerts

Now, this may be an odd question, or perhaps one with an obvious answer, but here it is anyway.
I'm very interested in getting the Moto X, but after playing with one I noticed that you could not go into the contact settings and assign a personal message alert. My husband just got a LG G2 that has this functionality. The contacts app between the two is very similar, minus these few features. I'm guessing it's either something LG added or something Motorola didn't see fit to add.
Here's my question: Does the Moto X actually have this feature hidden somewhere? If not, is there a way to mod it in?
I realize there are a number of apps you can download that will do this, but I frequently run into issues with these, like duplicate notifications (after turning notifications off for my default messaging application and under every other setting I could find) plus unnecessary battery drain. It would be nice to just have something already integrated that isn't an extra app pulling more juice than, you know?

[Q] How often do you use your voice commands?

Just wondering how much you get out of your moto x's flagship feature.
Do you use it less or more than you thought you would?
Do you find the regular old Google Now to be suitable, or did you install more capable and customizable voice apps like utter!?
I feel like i would use it alot but i'm worried it might end up being a gimmicky thing. (although it will definitely be useful in the bathroom so i can control music while showering!)

Moto Voice Response/Usefullness

I am close to pulling the trigger on the MotoX2. However, I have one lingering issue that I need help with. Because of a disability, Always On Voice Input (OK Google) is very important to me. However, I am concerned with reviewers who have characterized Moto Voice as a "hack" (sometimes unresponsive, inaccurate, and a delay when needing a "handoff" to Google Voice). One reviewer who tested OK Google with the MotoX2 and N6 described the MotoX2 as being 1.5 times slower than the "pure" Google Voice implementation on the N6.
Having now verified that disabling Moto Voice on the MotoX2 causes instant on (from screen off) to no longer function (even under Lollipop) has left me with a dilemma.
I NEED Always On OK Google, but really don't want the size of the N6. So, I'm looking for input from MotoX2 users who regularly use Always On OK Google.
In general, I want to know, have the reviewers exaggerated the problems with Moto Voice? In day to day use, is Moto Voice accurate/responsive/quick "enough" when "handoff is needed? In addition, do users feel that the other features provided (specifically by Moto Voice; not the other Moto added features) is a fair tradeoff for the inherent delay when Google Voice is needed (i.e. would you trade them for the "pure"/faster Google Voice?
Any and all inputs/impressions are greatly appreciated!
Sounds like what you've read and researched is fairly accurate. Moto Voice responds well when you're clear and direct. Don't mumble and you won't have a problem. The delay is due to the handoff to Google Search. However, you can use either Moto Voice or Google Now. Both work well. The Moto X is a fantastic device. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
As far as I know the delay comes from the hack that Moto had to implement to overcome the android limitations in the area of "always listen". Im not sure about it but my assumption is with lollipop it should be faster due to the fact that it's already built in into OS

I use Moto voice on daily basis. My day starts with "how's the weather today"
It is about 80% accurate, with my Indian accent. Considering that you have a better accent than i do you will be just fine.
That being said, you need to be in a fairly silent environment.
Does the delay bother me? Yes. Will it stop me from using moto voice? Heck no!
I integrated moto voice with commandr and tasker ad use about 20 tasks on regular basis so i am kind of addicted to moto voice. Apart from that i use moto voice for placing a call and texting, as a matter of fact it recognizes my friends' names(also indian) really well.
I would recommend you to go ahead and buy IF you believe you can use it a FAIRLY QUITE environment.
Thanks all for your inputs so far! Any further impressions will also be helpful!
@roaringcrown, I will be using it mostly from screen off, so I am tied to Moto Voice, as there is no support (even in Lollipop) for Always On with stock Google Voice.
@blinkin, it's my understanding that Moro Voice will still be required with Lollipop (for Always On), and hence, still the delay
@Prash8429, glad to hear it has decent accuracy even with your accent!
Thanks again to all. Looking forward to other impressions!
Moto X Voice Commands and Gesture on 3rd Party Home Launchers?
I have a quick question for user here on XDA. Can someone tell me if the 2014 Moto X Voice and Gesture command will continue to work from sleep/idle mode if I install a 3rd party home launcher? Or is this function specific to the stock launcher provided by Motorola on this phone? Thanks
