how to edit the call history to add calls?

i have to add an outgoing call to my call history at a certain date and time... is there a way to do this? im running 6.1 on a htc touch......

maybe you can try to set time and date on your phone to the date of you fake call and call (just call and hang up) the number you want...

I imagine having an alibi... Darling I called you, but you didn't took the call...

I will certainly have to remember this trick! There has been a many times this would have proved handy

Hmmmm, good that I dont need an alibi like that....
+ If I would say: "Yes honey I tried to call you 4am before I went to the afterparty, see my call history" she would probably tell me that she doesnt believe me anyway or that I should have sended smoke signals etc...

But there is a call duration entry. Meaning, that the call would only last <15 seconds.

Changing the time on the phone would work for your personal call history but not the official call history that shows on your phone bill.
As a father, I check my kid's phone calls and minutes semi-regularly by logging on to T-Mobile and viewing their recent activities.
Now, chances are if you need this for an alibi for a GF or some other friend it will work. If you need this for a more serious alibi, it's not going to work if the person has any way of checking the official carrier records.

Don't know about anybody else but if i make a call that isn't answered by anything, be it a person, ansaphone or voicemail, then the call duration in the call log is 00:00 and it never shows on my phone bill. The only way to prove that type of call was made would probably require access to the mobile operator's logs themselves which most of us don't have.

i have one problem in my vivo v3 . call log is not displaying in proper order.i dont know what to do.it is just scrumbled

omg.... thank you google!!! this might of just saved me $700 for late cancelling fees! miracle workers you are all saints!

Call and Browse at the same time(Google Voice)??

Can you make non-long distance calls using google voice and your phone???
If so, can you be on that call and browse the web at the same time??
So technically, If you use google voice for the call you are using data and not voice, therefore it seems technically possible to browse and talk at the same time.
Has anyone tried this??? I only have google voice for voicemail so cant test right now.

before you assume that GV automatically defaults to using the data connection why don't you search around a bit...
now, with that being said... once you have managed to get GV operating through Data (it is possible) im not sure if you could call and surf at the same time or not

Since with Google voice you can make calls from your computer, it is easy to assume that it uses data.
now, with that being said... why would you bother replying and telling me to search around when you yourself don't know the answer to my question??
fyi: I am searching... and when I find out, I will share it with anyone who wants to know. That's what this place is all about.

This was easy enough to find on Google.

google voice does not use data. it uses your sprint number.
basically when someone calls your GV it forwards calls to your cell number (or whatever number you want it to), then your sprint number rings. and when you dial out it calls from your sprint number to GV then GV forwards it (the call) to the party on the other end.
it can be set up to use data but is difficult to do and call quality over EVDO or 1x is bad. wifi its ok.
here are a few guides i'm using atm to get this set up over data, i can get incoming calls working but outgoing calls aren't working. i'm this close...
if you set this up like this, then YES you will be able to call and use the internet at the same time. but just using the GV app no its not possible on sprint. it's the way the network is set up. other networks you can but not on sprint.

any Answering Machine for HTC Hero?

is there any answering machine for HTC Hero? shouldnt be hard to code I think.

use voicemail.

What a stupid reply, man. I guess he asks for an answering machine app because he DOESN'T want to use voicemail.

+1 for Hullomail. Only downside I think is it eats your inclusive minutes whilst the person is leaving a message. Not really a prob for me, get 900mins included and only used 32 last month

nice, this is what I have been looking for! shall have to give this a go! Thanks

really good if you are abroad too as you can pick up your messages without been charged by mobile op as all messages go to email and also missed calls been using it for 2 weeks now now problem really love it and i dont need to pay T mobile to pick up my messages

mmm... hullomail doesnt sound like a answering machine! is more like free voicemail service. No answering machine like old ones on other phones on android?

hullomail is only for us and uk residents

ok... i have to ask...
why do would someone want this function???
really?? I cant think of why.
what about google voice?
It runs seperate of the phone and phone service.
takes your missed phone calls
you can have a custom outgoing message
keeps message online and also sends it to your phone (via data)
translates it to text.. if you want to read the message.
works just like visual voicemail.
HOPE that is a good fit for u.

For NOT calling any number. For having an answering machine localy on my phone as an app. for not redirecting calls and paying minutes for the redirection.
Google Voice is also only in some countries. Not wordwide.

How can it do that, does it work like an answering machine localy on my phone and stores the message ON my phone and trasfers the message to Google Voice Server through the Internet?!?

When someone calls your number... if you don't answer or your phone is off...
The call is sent to Google voice..there is where the message is taken.
Then it is sent to your phone via data. If you are out of range or off. It will sent it to you when you are back to available.

Problems with Sprint number and GV integration that you should be aware of

There are two problems I have discovered with GV and Sprint number integration that you should know about before you switch, because it's a pain to turn this feature off (as I just did.)
If you need to use any service that must call you, and you must enter digits on the phone, it won't work. There's a problem with GV where if the other person starts the call to you, DTMF signals from your end are too distorted to register with any equipment that reads them.
Second, GV has a call record feature that is toggled by hitting the number 4. When it is toggled it announces to both you and the other person that the call is being recorded. This doesn't sound like a bad thing at first, but note that it can be triggered accidentally depending on you or the other person's voice through a phenomenon called talkoff. Talkoff is when a human voice mimics a DTMF signal for a very short time, but long enough to trigger some equipment to interpret it as a key press. The equipment that google uses is susceptible to this. When it is accidentally triggered, have fun explaining to the other person why they just heard the message "this call is being recorded."
More information about this problem can be found here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/voice/thread?tid=7e30f066f09baf68&hl=en

Curious as to what you mean bye your first point... could you give an example of what kind service would cause this..
Sorry if this is a dumb question lol

Like say you need an online bank to verify your phone number, they'll have an automated system that calls you, and then has you input a number to verify you own the phone number, when you do this it won't be able to recognize the numbers you key in.

This call record feature... this works at any time by hitting 4? How does that work if you are navigating a DTMF menu?

From the linked forum post it looks like the call record feature does not activate if you call out so hitting 4 in a calling tree would allow you to navigate. Haven't tried it myself but from reading the link it looks to be true.

[GUIDE] How to get "classic" google visual vm back after sprint integration

Ok so I orginally thought the idea of GV integration with sprint was awesome...after fiddling with it. I was very disappointed.
The problems I had with it were...I dont want to use my GV number as my primary. I dont want to change my GV number to my cell number. Each option had issues that I felt needed to be addressed. Changing my GV number to my cell made it to where txt would be comming into my phone via gv app. Yes there is a work around but ita annoying and I dont want my text stored on line. I also didnt want to change my gv number, this to me sounds like it could be a bad idea at some point in time, and cause other issues. So I set out how to get classic google voice back with the new app that will not let you just use it for vm heres how i did it, now I know this affects the Nexus S 4G with the version of GV they include...however the market version does seem to be different.
Option 1 (For Rooted Phones)
1) Use Titanium backup or some other root explorer to delete the stock voice apk, then reboot recovery and wipe dalvik
2) Once back inside the rom download voice from the market as that version doesnt seem to suffer from the ****ty options that are stock on the phone
Option 2 (The proper way for rooted and non rooted phones)
1) Launch GV app on phone, and sign in, when it ask choose to change your gv number to your cell number.
2) Get annoyed and go get a shot of vodka, and wait about 15 minutes (honestly because you wont be able to change it back for at least 15 minutes.)
3) Login to gv on the web (voice.google.com)
4) once in there click the gear, and pick voice settings. Under the phone area choose to disable the sprint port number (your google voice number). It will disable and revert back to your old gv number
5) Where you mobile number is at you should see enable google voice mail for this line. Click that, and follow the instructions.
6) Click on voice mail and text uncheck email message and send sms.
7) on your phone open gv, goto more then settings make sure it says. Making calls do not use gv to make calls. make sure this phones number is your actual mobile number adjust sync options as you wish and make sure My gv number is indeed your gv number.
8) DO NOT SIGN OUT OF THE APP (Im not sure what will happen but my guess is it will break)
9) Edit your voice mail settings under call settings and change your vm settings to GV from "My Carrier" and make sure your GV number is in there.
Options: Now if you dont want to use the gv app at all you can have gv send you an sms or an email instead or manually check your voice mail by phone.
Enjoy

I kinda did this a different way but not as elegant. I used root manager to remove google voice. I might have used root manager to remove the data too but I can't recall. I rebooted. Then I tried downloading google voice again. I think it installed. I tried running it and there was a problem. I uninstalled it. Then installed it again. That must have flushed out all the references to the program that I missed. Ran the program, signed in, chose let me choose to use google voice for every call. Then I clicked the link for conditional call forwarding and hit send. It's *28(google voice number with area code) then send. After that I hit back until I got back to the gv setup. I chose skip then next then I think I was done. It's working now the old way. Separate numbers and google voice for voicemail.

Can you explain what this workaround is? I'm not too thrilled with how the GV app handles SMS either.

The most annoying thing about this is the app options seems useless for configuration purposes. You really have to configure this through the web to work right.
After I first set it up and tested a voice mail I got
An email, an MMS, and a notification bar alert from GVM app itself even though in the app I had the first two disabled.. Finally got it down to just a notification bar alert from the GVM app only after configuring through the web. It's stupid that by default it lets you know THREE different ways you have a damn voice mail.

I love it!
My texts come to my phone just as they are supposed to and since I turned off notifications in GV app I don't get notifications in the app. I get emails and texts telling me of voice messages just like before. Yes the app still receives text messages and stores them online, but I see this as a plus since txt is mainly how I communicate and my job has me working in a lot of places with internet access but no cell coverage. win win in my book.
To get texts sent to your phone you have to check the little box in your settings that says "Receive text messages on this phone (mobile phones only)"
It took me a while to messing around to get everything set up, but I'm liking it now.

I use option 2 (GV number in place of cell number). It works flawlessly. I have had no issues. For me this was easy because I made people use my GV # as my primary number years ago. It just takes a little time an patience getting all your friends and family to use the GV #, but once its done its the best move you'll ever make.

It doesn't have to handle sms. Check that little checkbox and the sms will be delivered to your phone like they were before. Then go into GV app and turn off notifications.

Nice guide. Well since my Nexus is stock and I couldn't stand how broken gv and sprint are together I wanted it to go back to go it was.
That is to say, texts and voicemails come through notifications by the Google voice app and texts sent to my mobile number come through the default messaging app. That's how its supposed to be.
It's quite easy to do, in settings for Google voice in your phone turn off all notifications and inbox synchronization. Basically nothing should be checked. Then in the web go to your Google voice settings and under phones next to your mobile number click on "disable Google voice on your sprint phone".
That should make everything normal again. Hope that helps. I don't see the point of what sprint and Google were trying to do here. The Google voice app works just fine the way it is. Don't mess with a good thing.

I think the folks asking, like myself, are looking for slightly more detail.
After rooting around for the setting mentioned I found it.
1. Log in to Google Voice online
2. Click on the little gear in the upper right hand corner to access Options
3. Click on Voice Settings
4. On the Phones tab under "Forward calls to" click on the Edit button for your Google Voice enabled mobile phone
5. Where it says "Text Settings" check the box for "Receive text messages on this phone (mobile phones only)"
This should send texts to your phones SMS app rather than through the Google Voice app.
Hope this saves others some time searching.

My biggest pet peeves were:
1. Incoming messages from the same sender would sometimes create multiple threads inside of Google Voice.
2. SMS messages received from contacts that were not stored in Google account (i.e. corporate account) would commonly show up from a telephone number versus a name.
3. SMS messages initiated from Google Voice would not show up as threads until they were responded to.
4. Messaging application was rendered useless bloatware.
5. I don't want/need Google Voice to archive 300 - 500 text messages a day.

The entire thing is a cluster____.... I've never quite seen something so utterly stupidly organized and launched like this..
How long does it take it so when someone calls my number they hear my Sprint voicemail message instead? I just called my number and it's still going to the Google voice system. It's not activated just checked as my mobile phone but NOT intergrated anymore.

Brotha -I was about to go insane out of my mind -and then I read this. Thanks. I thought I looked at every possible setting -but there is always a button that eludes you.
Then I had to stop the double notifications bc I was getting my text message on my phone and my text in google voice. So on my phone in GV settings I Un-checked "Inbox notifications"
I was really excited about GV integration - now I wish that Sprint would have left it alone. It really is a big mess to get it to do what you want.

Thanks for the info, this is exactly what I was looking for.

I hope Sprint and Google work something out with this.. If XDA members are scratching their heads how to make this work like they want imagine how a regular novice user must feel.
The Sprint/Google intergration and its current method of "configuring" (ie dice rolling) reminds of some half assed business solution some unknown outside firm was paid to write.

I didn't have to root or uninstall. Just download google voice from the market and let it overwrite the existing installation.
