Is it possible to trigger based on incoming caller ID

I am looking for an app that lets me do stuff when certain incoming numbers (either a simple editable list or a selection of contacts) call..... essentially I want the phone to answer and then hang up immediately so the numbers don't get my voicemail, they just get rejected.
At the moment I have the contacts set with a silent ringtone so I don't get disturbed, but sometimes I get voicemails from them and I want to prevent these.
I have had a look at Mortscript and can find how to handle incoming calls, just not how to handle incoming calls from specific contacts in specific ways.
Any help appreciated

go to www.youmail.com
i like this free service and it handles caller id calls more efficiantly than any software you can purchase.

Thanks for the link, unfortunately it's US only and I'm in the UK.

CallFirewall does exactly that what you need.

Try this:
http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html
It does everything you asked, and a whole lot more.

+1 for magicall... it rocks

Thanks for the links guys, downloading them both now

Call Firewall didn't quite do the trick as I could only get it to go to voicemail, but Magicall does 100% what I want, plus more, so I promptly coughed up the cash for it

Somewhere else on the forum there's a program what lets you make your own interface in html with js/flash. you can use that and make javascript countdown for x seconds and than let it pick up and hang up... or whatever you want not the best solution but it still is a solution

[REQ] Voicemail stand alone application

I wonder if there is an application that would pick up my phone after some rings, and plays a message and people can drop a message.
So I will have a voicemailbox with recorded messages which I can point and click at, save them, listen again, etc. Just recorded als .mp3 on internal storage. Maybe even callback options, sms-back options etc.
I really hate dialling that voicemailbox number, choosing 1 and 2 to listen messages. I have no overvieuw of messages etc.
The app looks fairly simple to me. Does it exist already?

You're searching for some kind of on-device visual voice mail
I would really like to see this at this moment my voicemail is nothing more than a question to mail me or sms me but most people do not like that
one question when your phone is off or you are out of range what would you like another app to take it over?

This is a nice idea...
See it more as a secretary app. instead of a voicemail app.
Where you're in your car and you don't / can't talk.
Perhaps something with different messages you can choose from (you need to make them yourself?)
Something like "Hello this is <insert name>, I'm driving at the moment, please leave a message after the beep" *beep* The person leaves a message that will be saved as mp3 file for example.

@WvanWaas
When out of range, your 'standard' voicemail will take over.
But when in meetings, or as said, driving, it would be nice that the persons message can be stored on my device.
The ultimate thing would be that this program can dial my voicemail, automaticcally send DTMF tones (time and pattern), and store eventually new voicemailmessages locally. The number of new voicemails on my network is available (since manila uses it too).
With Telfort home-phone, I get emails with .mp3s of voicemail messages (VOIP). Thats really good.

With vodafone UK I was using vodafone mail - voicemails automatically appeared as emails with WAV attachments.
Was very handy

There dont exist any programs?

the only app is isecretary. it doesnt work on diamond though

I use www.youmail.com and also wrote a simple client to parse through my emails and just list my voicemails in a UI.
Youmail also does speech to text transcription so you don't even have to play the sound file-- just read it.

It not for outside US I guess...
It looks promising...

It exists for Nokia phones
I have not found an application as such for the diamond but I know that it exists for Nokia. With the Nokia N95 there is a built in application that works as a voicemail. Of course only when there is coverage and the phone is working.
The application picks up the call after some time (configurable) and plays a greeting message that you have previously recorded and after the beep, the caller can record his message. The application saves that recording and whenever you are available you can playback that message.
Hope to find one for Diamond.

Yup, my T-Mobile voicemail charges are silly, plus I'd like to have more control and functionality from my voicemail. An included blacklist filter would be handy too.
I have a Touch Pro (Raphael).. Is there really nothing around at the moment that will work? That's kind of strange.

Just kick this one up once more ...

This type of app could cause some expensive long distance charges if you were outside of your local calling area though, no? I'm thinking your phone would need to be connected to the call in order to record an .mp3 voice message locally on the device, whereas carrier voicemail can be received regardless of where you are anywhere in the world without costing you as the user a fee to receive a message.

I see that Touch HD can record calls.

A simple application which auto-answers, plays a file, records a message and nicely puts them in a list, so I have total controll of my voicemessages?
That would be well killer-app... I'd pay for it, simply because I need it.

i realy want this app too!!!!!

Sounds nice to me as well
+1 here....

Try This. Loaded on my Diamond but havn't tested it.

Missed calls from my self? 2-3 times a day!

I'm not exactly sure what or who the culprit is here.
Phone is rooted with JF 1.42,
but 2-3 times a day, my phone would ring once and when I look, it's a missed call from my own number!
Anyone else have this issue?

i myself havent had this problem but a friend of mine has said the same thing. i was like lay off the feel good smoke. but i guess he was for real. does anyone know what could be causing this?

Either you need to stop hanging up on yourself, or someone is spoofing the callerID.

could it be an app? use advanced task manager to view running apps and services running, and use it to close the apps you dont need, see if it continues, im also using rooted jf 1.42 rc33 and ive never had this issue, give us a list of your apps, there is also a program available that gives you a log of what the apps are doing that you cant see, that might help as well if you narrow it down.
if you cant fix it this way maybe downloading bratags call blocker and adding your own number to it would work, its kind of a cheap way to get around it, but if all else fails then...

Call blocking yourself. I laughed at the most rediculious things!

You are absolutely right. I noticed it and I found some of the calandering apps that I downloaded for testing are periodically accessing the phone, I don't know why and I could not figure out which because I had a lot of apps installed for testing. So I decided to uninstall every 3rd party app and see and that did the trick.
--Ram--

I don't perticularly have that many apps installed. I also don't try and uninstall a lot of apps.
These are the apps I have:
Hot Giggity!
Alkaline
Pkt Auctions eBay
Bubble
Astro File Manager
ShopSavvy (with the location thing turned off)

I didn't have any missed calls from me yesterday, but i had one already today.
Then the strangest thing happened.
My number is 733-xxxx
After the missed call from me... a second later i got a call from a number that also started with 733.... ... I answered and no one said anything...and then i called back and said I got a missed call from this number and the lady said wrong number.
how does phone number spoofing work?

if im correct its VOIP, but not from your phone, the way SPOOFAPP works is that there service calls you, using VOIP (which can be set to display almost any number) and so your phone rings with the number you wish to have your phone call as, then when you answer and press 1, it then confrence calls another person, also displaying the number that called you, since its the service making the call (your phone never makes a call, you only answer a call and are connected) and then the person on the other end sees the incomming number as what the service says it is, and it stays muted while you talk, making it appear as if your phone number isnt what it is, when really its the service who is calling not you
if someone is using this app, they can NOT call your number from your number, the app wont allow it (ive tried), i can not call 555-0123 as 555-0123, nor can i call as 911 and so on
not to say that other companys out there wont do this, but spoofapp will NOT

well how often do you call yourself from your own phone number? the only time youd do that is to take the long way to your voicemail
therfor the only other time a incoming call would be YOUR number, is when there isnt supposed to be a incoming call
therfor, callblocking yourself, would work imo
such a difficult concept

ok... weird
just had 4 missed calls from a 733-xxxx number and 1 from 733-yyyy number..... and one from myself.
What gives.... calling t-mobile but not sure what they're gonna say or do.

someone must be using an app called spoof123

Oh i know why this happens! You have the Voicemail callback service enabled!
Normally, when someone leaves you a message, all you get is a text message. Now, the voice mail computer calls you, you pick up and it'll tell you how many voice messages you have.
If you don't pick up, you have a missed call from your own number.

its so freaky =..=

[Q] Missing Voice Mails?!?!?

Not sure if this issue has come up anywhere, I did do a search but didn't find this particular issue in the details.
As you can see from my sig line I've flashed several different ROMs. I am not sure when the problem started, but I am just now getting to the point where it has become irritating.
If I call my phone from anywhere and allow it to go to voice mail, I can hear the prompt and leave a message. However, I never get the Visual Voice Mail indicator, and perhaps more importantly, if I call my voice mail, it reports there are no messages in my mailbox. This happens whether I call it from my phone, or any other phones. This happens if I leave a message, hang up and call right back.
What's even more strange is that when my GF calls me she gets a specialized message "Hi Tina, Brian can't come do the phone right now...". When my buddy calls me he gets a standard cell phone greeting message, the default Sprint one. And if I go into my voice mail my default greeting is a recorded message saying "Leave a message", but again, when you call it you don't hear that. Weird huh?
Has anyone experienced this, or does anyone have a solution? Not sure what's going on, or where to start.
Thanks.

Sprint VVM app has issues with AOSP ROMs.
Follow this thread for a fix that works on a lot of ROMs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547780

Not sure this is ROM or app related yet. Since there are some definite quirks when different people call me. That's what is really odd. Messages left in vmail by caller aren't even there when I call vmail manually.
I do seem to have a working vvm app. It even updated to a newer version. I can listen to sample messages, go thru settings.

Have you ever used Google voice, and then not disabled it properly?

Hm....I am not sure, maybe I'll try to install and uninstall....
Odd, I cannot get Google Voice to install. It is a free program yet I get an error: Error processing purchase. [DF-BPA-09] . I am able to download and install other apps, I tested with Twitter app.

Ok here's a clue:
I turned off my phone, then called it using my office phone and left a message. I then called it again and pressed * during the greeting which prompted me for my PIN. Upon entering my PIN the system reported that I have 28 new messages. LOL.
If I check my voice mail from my mobile phone however, it says I have no messages.

PROBLEM SOLVED!
Apparantly an installation of YouMail on one of my ROM installs started forwarding messages with that service. I reinstalled that application and it found all of my messages. I then used the following codes to deauthorize YouMailL *38 Call and *720 Call. I don't know which one worked, but these deauthorize YouMail and return you back to Sprint Voice mail. I tested by calling my phone and sending to voice mail and it did in fact send the message to Sprint VVM.
Hope that helps anyone that stumbles across this message.

[Q] "Conditional call forwarding active" popup

Hey guys, just came to the S4 from the One and still figuring some things out. Whenever I make a call [using the morst horrendous dialer ever seen on android], a small popup happens that says "conditional call forwarding active"... anyone know what that's about?

wow if you are flasher, don't tell torxx you switched--lol jk, we go back a long way and sent him beer money
that says your call will be forwarded if you are on phone call
if you go to call forward settings and select always forward, i think it will go to unconditional
there use to be a code on some phones to disable message--something like--##???--i don't remember and don't know what if anything works on s4--maybe google
the dialer will grow on you--i think--
welcome to the S4 MetalHead

If I set it to always forward, will it ALWAYS forward? Ie. will I not receive any calls then? It seems weird to me that you get a popup for what seems to be normal operation on any other phone. If I turn off all the options, will no one ever get my voicemail?
I used to be a flashaholic, nowadays I just find one ROM and stick to it. CleanROM was my goto on the One X and the One. I have the Active so there's nothing available for it yet, not even root I think. I know scrosler is over here now, hopefully he'll branch out and make us Active users a ROM.
I don't know if that dialer will ever work for me. Between the white and the big, colorful childish buttons when the call ends, and kiddie faces when there's no contact picture, it really takes away from the overall badass-ness of the device. I'm sure once we get ROMs, somebody will do something about those atrocities haha. I still love the phone, and in no way will I let those things piss me off to the point of annoyance. I barely talk on the phone anyway so it's not like I'm gonna be staring at it all the time.

yeah the message will be there unless I can remember where i saw the dialer code to disable it
right, we don't want to just disable call forwarding--it is annoying though because i get a sound with it too. assume they go together, but not looking at screen when i call
no custom roms yet. enjoying just the phone rooted with twrp
am sure one or two of the roms will get rid of stock dialer, just haven't looked close at them yet

If you are using google voice for voicemail you will see this conditional call forwarding is enable to make this work.
The conditions are: no answer, line busy, and call rejected. In these cases your phone forwards to google voice.

I don't use Google Voice. It is not set up.

It could be how normal VM works. It forwards to vm for the same reasons. Easy to check under phone forwarding settings.

I never had it on TMO, may be an ATT thing. I think only way to stop it is disable call forwarding or make it unconditional which still may show a message. Most people don't want to disable call forwarding. I am sure there is a code to disable, haven't had time to research it. But, I am kinda use to it now and no big deal.

I just wish there was a way to get rid of it without affecting normal voice mail operation. My One never had it, my One X didn't have it, nor any Android phone I've ever had. It's weird.

This is 2008 Blackberry but att so don't know what it would do if anything now
I would think if it screws things up ATT could reset your voicemail
I guess you could also write down the number to replug back in if it screws up
I will just ignore or maybe call att voice services when I get a chance

I know on my corporate phone - AT&T screwed this up - work added some features, one was Visual Voicemail and this disabled conditional call forwarding. Maybe you can add Visual Voicemail - the AT&T variety, and then get rid of the alert. They may charge for it though.

Perhaps one of the roms can give the option on nixing that.. It is annoying
