Hi,
I'd like to know if there is any app around that does the work of an answering machine. An app that will probably answer the call after a specific amount of rings and save the callers' message on the SD card. This was an idea I got from a few years ago when we were discussion open software for cellphones. I'd love to know if it's already been done.
Thanks.
Anyone know of such an app?
google voice ??
I would vote for YouMail.
It actually downloads your VM messages from the "cloud" and stores them on your SD card.
It also has other nice features.
Best of all, everything is FREE!!!
I also use youmail its the best app out there for voice and its free vzw charges 2.99 for their visual voicemail.

Airvoice, but it does not work on my desire... Anyone know of anything else?
I use Hullomail.. you can tell it to use your gmail account as storage which is handy because if I miss call when I'm at my computer I can just play the message on my PC...

I haven't seen any such app yet. The apps mentioned in this thread are different.
What is asked for is a voicemail on the phone itself, not any 3rd party who stores your voicemail for you, after which you can download it.
No, what is asked for is an actual app on the phone that actually functions as a voicemail/answering machine and stores the voicemail directly on the sd card. Without redirecting the call to a 3rd party, and without requiring an internet connection anywhere in the process from accepting the voicemail to playing the voicemail.
But there is no such app, to my knowledge.

A stand-alone app like this would be pretty sweet actually. I think the phone providers would be a little ticked if someone were to write an app like this. I would buy it as i don't subscribe to an answering service on my cell (separate monthly charge for my plan.) Most of these 3rd party (cloud) services don't work in my region.

Same here.
Waiting for some developer to answer our questions and explain if this is even possible or not :-s
Hi all
I'm looking now for 1 Year for this kind of answer machine.
the only one that do that is until now ---> Airvoice
But, the developer stoped developing this app since HTC Hero.
So it works only on HTC Hero.
Look at the Market for Airvoice,and send, like me, a email to the Developer. Maybe he will finaly start again developing this app!
Greetings ivifly

Can anyone help me with this.
xperia phones have this feature integrated, so maybe with a port... tested on gf xperia m2 stock. i'm searching for something like it for months, i'll pay for this kind of app.

I have searched almost everywhere, but could not find this. I am surprised no such app for android exists
So should I conclude it is impossible due to some restriction in android OS to record incomming call or to play a message in incomming call, and hence, not possible to make an answering machine app ??
An app that has the features like isecretary has for windows mobile???
Why me and many others like me want this:
we do not have any voicemail service like hullomail, youmail etc available in our country.
voicemail is not free and is heavily charged
also no google service does this in our country afaik
Can any expert android developer tell me in detail as to why making such an app is not possible ??
ps: if it is at all possible I am ready to pay for this project :s
__^BUMP^__
any1 ??
_^BUMP^__
Don't wanna multi-post but I really really need this
Can any1 point me in some direction ?? or just a hint maybe :s
Bumping here again after so many days .. hoping somebody might have some knowledge regarding this

I'm not so sure many App programers visit these forums. Even something basic would be nice. It would only work on a Rooted phone however.
There are many people on xda with good knowledge about Android and its possibilities.. But as you said, I don't think anyone of them cares about whats going on in this forum.
People are asking questions and same average users are trying to answer their questions by guessing stuff.
Nobody even with a little knowledge is trying to answer the question, as to why is this not possible!!!!

Probably because between their real job and their families, their free time is taken by developing roms or apps that make your phone awesome, while usually getting very little in return. Whatever time is left over, I hope they spend enjoying themselves or relaxing.
If it's that important, either learn to do it yourself or pm a developer and ask them (nicely!) if it's possible.
It's improbable that such an app would be possible. An internet connection and/or call forwarding would most likely be a requirement, which is not what you're asking for.

This seems to be a problem and a major complain from Android devs. There is no API to control the audio from incoming calls. Google problably doesnt include APIs to avoid privacy issues.
Im not sure about audio from you in a call if there are APIs for it.
The program, in theory with these APIs, is possible as it is very simple.
There is undocumented APIs which people have used to record audio from incoming calls. You need root and someone they dont work.
So if you want this then yes, you are either going to have to pay someone, learn how they have (using root and undocumented APIs) made it possible to record incoming voice from calls, or wait for Google to release call and voice related APIs.
---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------
In SDK 14 this has been added (maybe with workarounds it can be helpful to what you want):
Voicemail Provider
The new Voicemail Provider allows applications to add voicemails to the device, in order to present all the user's voicemails in a single visual presentation. For instance, it’s possible that a user has multiple voicemail sources, such as one from the phone’s service provider and others from VoIP or other alternative voice services. These apps can use the Voicemail Provider APIs to add their voicemails to the device. The built-in Phone application then presents all voicemails to the user in a unified presentation. Although the system’s Phone application is the only application that can read all the voicemails, each application that provides voicemails can read those that it has added to the system (but cannot read voicemails from other services).
Because the APIs currently do not allow third-party apps to read all the voicemails from the system, the only third-party apps that should use the voicemail APIs are those that have voicemail to deliver to the user.
The VoicemailContract class defines the content provider for the Voicemail Provder. The subclasses VoicemailContract.Voicemails and VoicemailContract.Status provide tables in which apps can insert voicemail data for storage on the device. For an example of a voicemail provider app, see the Voicemail Provider Demo.

lol what is your problem dude?? are you some sort of messiah ?
The point of these forums is people helping out each other and sometimes those with more knowledge than the average user, also jump in to the rescue. If those developers didn't have time apart from their daily life, the Q&A thread would never be created in the first place. And there are people, who are not developers, but have a much better android knowledge and are helping people on these forums.

And there is a reason, I said that, because I have seen threads like mine, on the same issue from more than a year old.. lying without answers. No one is even trying to figure it out. My humble request to you is, if you don't know anything regarding this, and cannot understand our problem, and haven't read other thread like these from the last one year.. just mind your own business please and let us deal with our problem.
We are still here // still posting.. because we still hope someone with knowledge would read these threads someday and reply a meaningful reply.

yes, I have been reading regarding this lately, but I wasn't so sure until now. So this is a fact now that this is not possible in "normal" case (well, this almost answers my main question) as we don't have the APIs from google to help develop an app which is able to manipulate incoming call. And they do have a good reason for this i agree - privacy issues.

what arjas and i am looking for
We have an answering machine and voice mail available on the Samsung Start GT-5233A where you can set up the answering machine easily. It plays a greeting when you do not pick up and if he caller wishes, they can record a message as well.
This is a built in application. I believe Arjas and i are looking, trying to find a similar application for android.
I have a galaxy tab 10.1 but no luck so far.

Answering Machine for Android
Though There's no straight app for this, u can combine 2 apps to get the Answering Machine.
1) Auto Call Answer
2)auto call recorder.
of-course there are lots of similar applications too for each type. install both apps from the market.
when ever u don't answer the the call for certain number of rings the 1st app picks the call and plays the voice u recorded for the caller.But it cant record the callers voice.
Thats where the 2nd app comes in handy.It will record all the incoming calls irrespective of whether u lifted or the auto responder lifted.
When ever u find time u can check the recordings which are saved mostly by the number and time.
For the time being this is the only solution we have.
Also mind u,In the calls recorded the callers voice is very low in most of the android devices.Blame google for not giving API for that.So what the apps generally does is it will record from the mic resulting in poor quality.
I also observed that android devices with honkong firmware and arabic firmwares
the recording quality is good.I think the API is buit-in for that firmware.As recording calls in their countries is legal.
Unfortunately in India call recording is not legal.so is in most of the countries.
So the trick is to flash ur cell with honkong(hhkk) or arabic(jpxx) firmwares and u have the rec option right away in dailer options.Then try installing those two apps.
I am using Galaxy Note initially was on Indian firmware now i changed it honkong version and enjoying the rec fecility which is crystal clear.
But as u said when other brands like symbian,windows are offering this app theres no point in google not letting the developers do it. its shame for the owner of a 30k cell phone running the so called great android and not having a fecility that a cheap 3k phone has.
wakeup guys
if not u,who?
if not now when?
What about something like pbxes.org or something like that? The short answer to your original question is "Not right now" for the reasons mentioned by a previous poster. ICS seems to have the appropriate hooks built in, but that isn't the same as having the app.
I can't believe there isn't a SIP provider you could get set up with and manage voicemail over IP. But you would know better than me what you can reach or not. Just thinking there must be some other way to skin that cat.
It would be nice to have an offline standalone answering machine that plays greeting and records voice messages in the SD or phone's memory.
That will save me $7/month, so I am not expecting it for free.
Hi guys, I was thinking the same thing, then I found this thread.
My need is to have an app that answers an incoming call after 3-4 ringing, then it should play a short record and after that start recording the call.
For example when I'm doing shower and friends come my home, they call me, so it will be useful to have an app that auto-answer and say "I'm on shower, take keys under the tree and enter"...:laugh:
I read previous posts, so I will try the 2 apps. Is there something new in the air? ICS is out since June...
I would spend 5 euros or something more for an app like this...
will we ever see that app ?
I hope so
It may be #1 wanted app in android
Anyway don't try to download "Auto call answer" it seems to be a malware
I just switched from Tmobile (MyTouch 3G Slide) to the Verizon Thunderbolt.
I REALLY REALLY miss the Hand-Free (Texting) ability from the MyTouch...
Is there anyways to get the Hand-Free ported from the MyTouch to the Thunderbolt?
(I tried Vingo, I don't like its. And it didn't seem to Read Incoming SMS)
Just download handcent SMS.
Sent from my rooted T-bolt using my fingers!
Its not just the lack of HandsFree Texting on the Thunderbolt.. Its the Call Announcing through Bluetooth, and other features within the HandFree app on the myTouch...
I don't want a Third-Party Messaging app, when the one within Android works just fine.

Well Maybe you should be laughing at yourself for being douchie, because the HANDS-FREE Feature from the MyTouch is not built into the SMS App. Its a whole different app. If I'm not mistaken its apart of the Genius Button; Because its Activated by pressing the G-Button>Menu>Hand-Free
So think, then type, then think again before hitting POST
→ Me laughing at myself.
The feature you wanted was specifically built/integrated for the phone in question (through proprietary means) and was not built by HTC. That is why it's not in every HTC phone and why you won't have it on the Thunderbolt without additional software you claim you can't stand.
"Genius" is a custom voice command and text-to-speech system powered by Dragon Dictation technologies. The button replaces, and is in the location of, the Search button previously on the myTouch 3G.

Properly built third party software is as good as anything that comes on the phone or better and has the same means/access to build their apps as the OEM.

Yeah, I mean I don't understand what the OP wants and thus is a pretty useless thread. He knows our phone lacks a certain feature that he seems pretty passionate about having, but yet says the SMS on the phone works fine and does not want a third party alternative (despite the feature on his old phone technically being a third party feature, just one that came with it and porting it would be the same as installing something in the market).
I would recommend using a keyboard that has voice control in it like swype (and there's some others), but I wouldn't to look too "douchie" by recommending third party apps to the OP.
Apparently No one seems to get the Idea here.
I don't want a second SMS Application such as Handset. I never asked for that.
I ASKED FOR the TEXT TO SPEECH application that is built into the MyTouch 3G Slide.
the HandsFree app from the MyTouch 3G support Voice Texting, Voice Calling, etc. When a new SMS Message arrive, the phone Announces the sender, and asked if I would like to read no, or later. Then after the application reads the TEXT, it give the option to REPLY, which can then be done through voice... So Never do you have to touch the phone while driving.
The appication from the MyTouch that handles all that has been the best HandFree application I've seen yet. And I've had nothing but Android phones since the Original G1.
I asked for that one application, because I figured with all the smart people on this site, they might have been able to extract it from the MyTouch at some point. The CM7 for the MyTouch has it. I've tried to look within the zip for the application (apk) that might be responsible for the HANDFREE app, but have yet to locate it.
So in the end, If I wanted to try one of the 30000000000 other SMS/Text Apps out there I would have asked for it. And technically I orginally never asked for a SMS Application. I asked for a HandFree (Speak-to-text, and vis versa)
Well here's my stab at it. Voice Control is proprietary software by Nuance (Dragon Dictation Technologies) meaning even if we did find the apk or were able to port it, it would be considered warez which is against the rules of XDA. All apps by Nuance are paid apps.
Nuance Voice Control Webpage: http://www.press-and-speak.com/PressAndSpeak/2338
Nuance and T-Mobile had an exclusive agreement to implement this software on the myTouch 3G/4G. I'm sure later on other devices will be supported. The only download they have for Android is the flexT9 keyboard for $4.99 . They seem to have all their apps available to the iPhone however.
However when I asked about alternatives, someone recommended Vlingo Virtual Assistant for reading SMS in the Android Market. Not sure if it has the same exact features as Voice Control, however its a close alternative.
EDIT: nevermind noticed you said you tried Vlingo. My bad
Edit 2: I know you said you did not want alternatives but Drivesafe.ly can read txts to you and the pro version let's you respond. I really don't think there are free alternatives for a fully featured app other than Vlingo.

Hey,
I want to use whatsapp on my Galaxy player, but i'm unable to do so. I've downloaded it from the whatsapp site and from 4shared, but when I install the app and try to accept the terms and conditions, the following occurs:
"Unable to identify your device, turn out the batteries and reboot."
"Tablets are currently not supported"
But I don't get it, because my friend has a tablet and he is able to use whatsapp, even though he doesn't have a phone number or a prepaid card in it.
So my question is: Has anyone been able to use Whatsapp on their Galaxy player? And if so, could you please be kind to explain how to do that?
Thanks in advance.
I think you have to have a phone#, unless it will work with a Google Voice#. I can't see paying $2/yr for something you can just use GV for (although it does look like it does a lot more). From their site:
Why do you ask for my phone number?
We ask for your phone number because that is how WhatsApp routes chat messages between you and your contacts, similar to how the regular SMS system would. We value your privacy and we have not, do not and will not ever sell your personal information to anyone. If you would like to learn more about our Privacy Policy, please take a look at our Privacy Notice.

I have been investigating this matter and this app has the same problem as the XDA App(free version) and Tap Tap Revenge 4. I have created a hack that makes these apps work and I have released a beta of my next rom "Foreigner R5" that has the patch applied. However, this app will not function on the beta for other reasons. When foreigner R5 moves passed beta, this app will work.

first, i wanna say THANK YOU to Meticulus for a fabulous rom. I am using it to my complete satisfaction. Thanks again.
second, i can prove that Viber works on beta R5 so i think half your whatsapp issue is solved, Rapydax. Until R5 comes out, u can use beta R5 with viber - message your buddies and all that + free calls worldwide.
third, google voice isnt available outside US yet.
and omg, fourth, keep an eye on R5 and trust Meticulus.
I will try the R5 as soon as it is finished.
Google is going to start charging to use their calling service next year. :'( So 2 bucks a year for whatsapp!!! I am going to get that. Also Groove IP is nice and Google Voice just got an update, and now you can call people from the Google Voice app. as well. ^^^Meticulus's Foreigner ROM^^^ is also BEAST!!! So if you are thinking about it, don't worry about it not working. Hope all goes well.

I was not very clear. Google is going to start charging next year for their calling service, as of now it is free. Whatsapp is only 2 dollars a year, so I am now going to get Whatsapp. I am sure Google will expand to Europe. Just give it time.
not giving "them" time is all this forum is about.
Does Whatsapp let you make/receive calls? I thought it was only texting.
GV has been saying it's going to start charging "next year" for a few years now... if they do I'm sure it will be very cheap, and hopefully they won't start until all the bugs are worked out, and other countries can participate.

Is there a reason why it seems "impossible" on Android? Many of us have to PAY for voicemail and PAY with our minutes for retrieving voicemail!
And to those who would replay that this is a legal/privacy issue (like I've read elsewhere), I say, why should I trust my voicemail to my phone company or, God forbid, to Google?
Ridiculous omission
I want the same thing for my Note2, and for my S2 before that. It is a complete joke that Android does not have it built in. It is one area where Symbian is superior to Android. At the moment my only options are to have my provider turn off voicemail and refuse all messages, or to have them pile up which is incredibly inconvenient - if I have a meeting with somebody and they leave me a message there is no way I can go through a dozen messages to get to the latest one (especially without pen and paper to hand). Not to mention my provider does not even give me the phone number of the person that left the voicemail.
I've been waiting years for a simple voicemail app. It's pathetic one hasn't appeared. Even my Sony Z5 had it over a decade ago.

Voice mail is not the solution especially in India, I tried to pull the trick using tasker, but android had two audio channels n thus I failed, need it badly though

so my already saying in the "sh-12c root thread" lets make an own answering machine apk based on the japanese sharp one which worked fine for me in germany.
if everyone have same network talk flatrate and just my answering machine app take the call instead of me and record the saying... its free for everyone. ..
ill post the dumped files here again later.

and again I'm not alone in this search...yeah I'm a precious symbian user too
and here I was thinking that I'm prolly not using the right keywords to search
BTW we even had a software to set up an IVR on our phone in symbian
Count me in, I tried a couple of apps... They don't work quite as you expect though
+1 for answering machine app.
Sadly, I don't think it's an option on regular Androids due to either hardware or programming constraints. Doubt it's due to lack of user interest.
Hmmmm, maybe it's conspiracy by telco provides so they can rake in more $$$$.? (reaches for tin foil hat)
Again, for the benefit of the head scratchers out there ... Voicemail is NOT a free god given right to all phone users in the world. It costs money with some service providers. Hence the desire for "in phone" answering machine application.
hullo mail is a voice mail app that I use. It works in Ireland, the UK and America I think.

Voicemail
you should be able to use your voicemail.
Hi,
Does anyone know of an app that works like an answering machine, allowing incoming calls to be recorded on the phone itself after hearing a prerecorded welcome message? I need this app for the Samsung Galaxy S3 to be used outside the US,
Thanks !

See if your provider offers visual voicemail...if not, check out "you mail" out some of the other visual voicemail apps on Google play.
That's about the closest I can think of...not only can you just hit play on your device without calling, but you also get a text transcript of each message as it comes through.

Hey,
Thanks for the help. My carrier offers voicemail but with no visual interface, that's why I'm looking for a application to replace it. and Youmail does not work in my country...
any other suggestions?...
Thanks !
Try Hullomail. That definitely works outside of the US, as I'm using it in the UK.

This may sound crazy but you can use Google Voice for this very application.

OK, I have done a little thread cleaning....I would rather not close this thread, so let's try a reset.
I think everybody knows that not every application is available in all locations...well now you do
So let's not get upset when somebody suggests something that you can't use. I just checked the Italian version of the play store and there are numerous Voicemail and Answering Machine apps for download. Personally if it isn't inverted (black background, white text) I don't want it.
So if i may recap.
The search is for an App on the phone(or tablet) that will answer for you and then play a message after that it will record what is been said on the other side of
the line.
So no redirecting calls to another number that records it so I/we don't also have to call that number to hear the messages.
I have also tried several from the "Google Play" market/store but i cannot find one that works correctly (i.e. clear sounds is a must for me personally, which all of them lack. If i want it on speaker to record i can just use my 1980 tape recorder next to it )
Oh just to clarify this is NOT about voice-mail!
An answering machine was used with landlines for when you'd be away.
Check this out, wiki about Answering machines.
And to clarify some more here is a wiki about voice-mail
Here are some of the suggestions (sorry if i miscredited anyone please PM me so i can fix it )
Hullomail (kingvortex)
Google Voice (marty331)
Visual voicemail - Check if your provider has an app (ryanshew)
Youmail (ryanshew)
I have looked at all suggestions above, but that's all voice-mail as far as i can see. (Checked websites and info if not clear enough, didn't actually try it out).
So if I'm wrong please let me know and i will research it further.
Hope this clears up some misunderstandings I have come to see in my 4 year hunt for a descent "Answering Machine app".
(Also looked for it when I had Windows Mobile but that was not possible on the phone i had then. Hardware related and such.
I'm developing an App that do this and it's called "LVoicemail": http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/app-lvoicemail-t3485750/page1
