Couldn't find it by searching, is there an app or a hidden somewhere that will read the caller ID and then play the normal ring tone.
(i.e. "Incoming Call From <INSERT NAME>...."<plays ringtone>)
I wanted to try Ring Pro but didn't want to spend $3 on something that may not work.

Tasker can do that along with a million other things, it's a little pricey though.

Yeah - Trying not to spend $$$. I'm trying one of the free apps on the market to see if it does it OK. Right now it works but it uses the media volume and doesn't turn up on speaking.

Hmm, sounds like a cool program, downloading 7 day trial now. Hopes it works as advertise. If it does, I'll consider paying for it.
But is there a free solution out there?
I have been looking for such program for a long time until I found MagiCall.
It works smoothly. Althought it is not free, I think it is worth the money. I'll buy it soon.
try "call sms blocker", blocks unwanted callers as well as sms

I have the trial version installed on my 8125, and yes the program works when it keeps the settings that were saved. I have to keep entering the no. I want blocked. I don't think it's worth the money.

It is not necessary to enter the no manually. You can select them from the Contacts or the phone log history. And it supports wildcards * and ?
It has a feature that I think is better than other products is that it filters Outlook's categories. So that I can put unwanted callers to a special category and let it block them.
It has never failed during my trial period.
I have a G1 right now and I am planning on purchasing a TP2 when it is available in my area. What I want to know is (and I guess this can be the official thread for this) does Winmo have an "equivalent" or similar apps for the following android apps:
123Spoof: App that allows the end caller to see a different phone number that is not yours.
A2B:Allows you to save your location using GPS so you can find it later.
Anetshare = Touch Pro 2 WiFi Router: Turns your phone into a wireless access point.
Barcode Scanner: Scans barcodes with camera and searches online for cheapest price for that item.
Call Blocker: Allows you to automatically block callers (they will hear a beeping sound when they call you)
Google Voice: allows you to use your account on your phone through an app. From my understanding there is not an app.
SMSBarrage: Allows you to send 100 txt messages to 1 person all at once.
SMS Commander: Allows you to send a txt to your self with a special code that turns off and on settings. EX. if I text "123456" from any phone to my phone it will turn on gps.
I understand that Winmo is Winmo and Android is Android; They are two operating systems with two different goals. This will not at all persuade my decision in getting a TP2 but it would be nice to be able to have a reference for these similar apps.
As members give me answers I will place them next to the equivalent android app.
Thank you
if this isnt a correct spot for this thread can I have the mods please remove it.

Just about any GPS app does this. I think the latest HTC cameras save GPS info in the picture files too so you can take a picture with GPS info embedded. But I'm pretty sure every single one of the many GPS apps you can get will save your location. I use Tom Tom but there are tons out there.

Now I believe this is something that has been happening since 1.5 and its a little annoying, I wanted to check with you guys to see if this too is irritating to more people.
now to send a new Text msg, I type the first couple letters of the name and wait for the possible contacts to show and select, now what irritates me is that not only do the mobile numbers show up but also their home numbers, now I know that technology has gotten better and that on some cases home numbers can receive text msgs(verizon fios customers I believe has this feature). but 99.999% of the time you are only texting mobiles.
so the 1 million dollar question, can this be modified so that it only shows mobile numbers ???
I've looked at the settings for messages and didn't find anything there, if you guys have found something please let me know.
im running dc 2.1 rom, but I've seen this on all roms used on my hero.
Im trying to remember if aosp has the same issue, maybe some aosp guys can check for me.
I had the g1 before the hero and I dont remember having this, but well its been a while.
Thanks.
I believe it just pulls up all contact information for the contact you're entering. It WOULD be nice if it had a smart feature to just show the mobile number, I agree. But I don't believe there's a setting for it.

Yeah, but I think he's talking about the default messaging app.
I dont know if everyone is aware but Sprint has text to landline. Anytime you send a text message to a landline Sprint leaves a message. Ive been using this feature for the past 6 months. It works in english and spanish. Not perfect but good enough. Im guessing its included on the simply everything plans Because I did not request any service like this. Anyway:
The Default messages app is limited to 10 contacts at a time
There also an issue with spanish characters like ó,é,i,ñ, etc. Well, its not a android issue, is that most other phones do not support these characters and the whole text message gets messed up
If I was you I would switch to Handscent.

Ok, I am looking for a profile app that gives a specific feature, if I can take you back to the days of the nokia 6600:
you had your contacts and you add your contacts to groups- VIPs, friends etc. Then when you did your profile you could set alert for all calls or just from a specific group e.g. VIPs. So when my drunken friends decide to ring me at stupid o clock my phone does not ring but if someone on my VIP list rings me at stupid o clock it would ring. Does this make sense?
So I am looking for an app that will let me do this, there must be something like this, anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks.
Anyone?
This has to be possible as the alarm still sounds when the phone is on silent and contacts can be organised into groups.
Hi RetroFlux
You might want to try this: https://slideme.org/application/setting-profiles
Price is reasonable and as far as I can see (haven't tested the actual profile) you can make a rule and choose ie. VIP or group of contacts (Coworkers, Family, etc.).
In addition you can make profiles for car, meeting, night, or whatever you want.
Good luck.

yep i also recommend this one, its a bit complicated and has lots n lots features, but if you need them then this app is for you, if you want a simple loud, normal, quiet, night profiles download a free app called simply profiles, very nice and easy to use app
Just wanted to thank yous for your help on this Setting Profiles provides the functionality I need although it doesn't quite work properly. However, I have managed to find similar apps that I am in the process of testing.
I'm searching for a way to assign a custom MP3 ringtone for each contact on my 6P, just like I did for my Galaxy S3 & my Note 3. A free or paid Play Store app (doesn't matter which because I have that $50 Play store credit) would be ideal!
It's really bumming me out that the latest & greatest Nexus 6P just doesn't have that capability, or am I missing something blatantly obvious here?? For example, on my Note 3 when my Sister calls, I would hear Weird Al's "White & Nerdy". When my mother calls, I would hear "Like a G6". And when my boss calls, I would hear Cheech Marin's voice knocking on the door saying "It's me, Dave...D A V E!" His name actually is Dave, so that just fits! You get the idea.
Any suggestions for an app that would watch for incoming calls, then play the ringtone I would assign to that person? I've already transferred all of the MP3's, notifications & ringtones from my Note 3 to the appropriate folders in the 6P AND they are selectable for a default sound, but no custom contact ringtones or custom notifications sounds for each event.
Not rooted (yet, but most likely will in time) so still all stock with build MDA89D
You help will be greatly appreciated. And if I'm missing the obvious here, please feel free to laugh at my pain!
I use Light Flow for that. Other folks here have posted that it works for them without root for LED customizations, but I haven't received my 6P yet to test it myself... If it works, it should do both custom LED and sound notifications.
If you go to contacts and edit the contact you want once you hit edit touch the 3 dots it should show set ringtone in the options thats just for incoming calls only not for messages

That solves the custom ringtone problem. How did I miss that one?? I tried to edit the contacts as you said, but I completely missed the three dots menu. [face palm!]
But Light Flow sounds as the way to go. I'm used to having a blue LED for missed calls, green for text messages & red for voicemail. If the 6P has those options already built-in, then a lil customization of those couldn't hurt!
On that note, it is *ridiculous* that Android doesn't have the possibility of individual text tones.

Use Rings Extended in Play Store...can assign any ringtone or notification, ANYWHERE
If you use Hangouts for SMS, you can set a custom tone for each conversation. I still prefer Light Flow, though, because it lets me change LED colors, blink rates, and durations per notification type/person. It also allows similar options for custom vibrations.
I may get the anti VZW hate on this one....but I use Verizon messages. Can use individual text tones on that. I like the app as when I switch roms, it syncs all texts and pic messages for me. No need to back them up and they are also on my tablet. However, I agree that it's BS that google does not make this a feature in the stock messaging app. I used to use Hangouts before switching to VZW messages.

Then you don't know Android... Try again.
The solutions for messenger & hangouts are temporary. If you delete the conversation, they'll reset next time you get a message from that contact. If you want permanent solutions, you need something like textra or handcent.

I don't think it should be necessary with a third-party app to do that. On the iPhone the feature is build into the OS.

Well, I'm just comparing ideas and that happens to be one that I like. I don't get why you react so aggressive to me saying that I would like it to be a core feature of Android. After all, you could do this on a Nokia 3310. I don't get why it is a bad thing to request these much more sophisticated devices to do the same. I won't ever get an iPhone an have been using Android for years - but the ring tone thing - I *personally* think that iPhone handles that better.

No one's being aggressive. I just think it's stupid to compare features that way. Well the iPhone has it, why can't I? Do you want a big round button on your phone too? Do you want an apple logo? The iPhone has them. And I'm going to assume you're semi intelligent, being that you are on these forums... Making a request, as you put it, will get you nowhere here. Messenger & hangouts are Google Apps. No one here is going to add those features for you. So your request here is gonna get you a 3rd party app. But since you already said you didn't want that, guess you're out of luck. Enough on the that. Good day & good luck in your search for a 1st party app that has those features

I know all those things. That's why I've been a Handcent user for years.
Here is the solution.
Download a file explorer app such as ES file explorer.
That's it.
Now where you chose to select ringtone, you will be ask to chose from..
1. ES file Explorer
2. Media Storage
Choose ES file explorer and find the song you wanna put as ring tone or alarm tone.
That's it.. Work done for free.
This even works for individual contact tone.
Open the contact in the edit mode..
Click on those three dots for further options.
Set ringtone and then chose the ES file Explorer option.. ?
Why do my custom ring tones and notifications reset themselves sometimes? I'm using stock, locked, unrooted N6P.
