I am looking for a dialer app that allows the following DURING a call without switching to another app:
1) Note taking - so notes can be taken seamlessly during a call (such as phone numbers, confirmation numbers, directions, etc.)
2) Voice recording (I know about the call recording limitations already)
3) Dialer 'macros' for quickly entering account numbers and passwords during a phone call such as when calling a bank or paying bills.
4) A dialer pad 'hot key' so that if I have to switch to another app during a call, I can instantly return to the dialer in a tap or double tap.
I know that all of this can already be accomplishe with separate apps. I'm looking for all of this to work seamlessly in one dialer app. The current solutions with the stock dialer are too cumbersome. Does anyone know if any of the dialers in the market support all of these features?

Try Tasker
Thanks! . this looks to be something definitely worth exploring.
Try "QSMS To Buddy:FullFeatured" free app from android market
Use "QSMS to buddy" App from android market.
- This app allows you to send sms to missed/rejected calls.
- It also allows you to send a 'default' sms after user specified time period. e.g. you can specify to send a msg after 10 secs
- *** You send sms during "Outgoing" call reject as well
- *** You have ability to messages while sending the reject sms depending on the context. e.g. "I will call back in 10 mins" instead of "I will call back later"
There are other interesting features as well in this app. Watch demo at youtube with key word "QSMS : Quick SMS To Buddy Android App by Onion Systems"

Root Call Blocker also includes a feature similar to what you're looking for
Why would you want to do th at? I just don't get it.
Some countries ban usage of mobile phones while driving, so instead of pissing about with your phone while driving, you can block the call and tell them why without having to touch the phone. Could be used in meetings, school/college too. there are so many uses
Thanks for all the replies. Another classic example is you are in a middle of a meeting/conference and u get an important call (from ur better half ;-) ? ) . You may not be in a position to take the call - easier if u get an option to send predefined sms - when u reject the call - with the flexibility of not having SMS being sent out whenever u reject a call.
Reject++
If you are looking for an app to let you reject incoming calls with predefined or custom SMS and setup a reminder to return a call as well..
so check Reject++
You can:
- Reject a call with SMS, Reminder, Or Both.
- Convenient Slider on top of incoming call screen, slider it up and go with Reject++
- Smart SMS Templates with "Tags"
- Smart Reminders Scheduling Engine.
- Works with mobile screen locked or OFF
- Notifications works no matter if the app is active or not.

Do any of you get a text message after someone leaves a voice mail?
It says "Android: xxx number has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call xxxx to listen" and then some long code is given.
This has happened to me in the past but not with the Photon yet. Go into your text program and put a block on any text from that number if you don't want them. At least, that has been the advice given in the past. Can't remember if that worked or not.
Do you have Handcent SMS installed?

Ths happend to me when I had Handcent installed. If you uninstall and use stock then the text should go away.
Are you using Google voice integration??

Make sure that no 3rd Party Apps are affecting Visual Voicemail. Two applications in particular, Go SMS and Handcent were causing issues with Sprint Visual Voicemail.
• If you have Go SMS you will need to disable the "disable other text notifications"
• If you have Handcent, you will need to go into Handcent, press menu, settings, application settings, default messaging applications and then check "disable".
Now…..
1. Go to dial pad and hit *38 Talk to cancel any call forwarding.
2. Power off the device and remove and replace the battery and power back on.
3. Update profile by hitting Menu – Settings – System Updates – Update profile (try to leave yourself a VM)
4. Go into the visual voicemail application and compose a visual voicemail message (Hit Menu Compose) of 5+ seconds and send to [email protected].
5. Test to see if visual voicemail is working again, and if the top 4 items above do not solve the issue, I recommend you call *2 and talk to a Sprint Customer Care Representative. Typically if Visual Voicemail is not working, it’s related to the initial provisioning not getting setup properly.
I hope this helps, and thanks for using Sprint.

STRONG USERNAME to POST CONTENT RATIO
I use nonintegrated Google voice with the app on my nonrooted photon. I use the motoblur ui.
I have my voicemail programed to forward unanswered calls to my Google voice number. Within Google voice settings I have disabled the text / email notification options and have the android app notify me instead.

I'm looking for a substitute for the phone app.
I know we have the apps like Dialer One and Go Dialer and what not. I've tried them. All these have contacts and the T9 dialer, but once you place the call, it's all the same as before.
What I am looking for is an app that actually replaces the calling screen, the one we get when the call is going on.
The reason is, I want better options for call holding etc.
Is there anything that is available?
Thanks.
Check out Google Voice. When you set it up, it can be configured to handle only your voicemail or handle all calling duties.
I don't think you can do that. The calling screen is built within the phone. The only way to change it is by flashing any themes that you like as the image is within, therefore not something an App can alter.
I am looking for a way to access my second Google Voice number from my Android phone. (I have one GV# for Work and one for Personal)
On my iPhone I use the Official Google Voice app along with GV Connect: http://goo.gl/6Mh9E to use both Google Voice numbers at the same time. I am looking for something similar to GV Connect for Android.
Currently I use the following 4 methods to 1. View SMS 2. Send SMS 3. Make Phone Calls. 4. Recieve SMS notification on an Android Phone.
1. To View SMS: I created a widget of the Google Voice website that I use to view messages in the Chrome Beta. (Also forward SMS to my Gmail and have a custom notification for the SMS Label I created in Gmail.)
2. To send SMS: I use Group SMS & Scheduler http://goo.gl/Vtwpo.
3. To Make Calls: I use GooveIP http://goo.gl/iTczt
4. SMS Notifications on Phone: I set forwarding of SMS messages on my secondary Google Vocie number to my gmail. Then created a Gmail label for all SMS messages to a particular label and skip my inbox. I then setup a custom notification sound for this folder so that I can get notifications on my phone.
There has to be a better way than this. I find it hard to believe that an iPhone is head and shoulders above Android when it comes to using Multiple Google Voice numbers.
Bump...
Edited details for sms on second number.
Every time I get a new Android phone I end up looking for a solution to this issue. I started looking for a solution to this issue when I got a Nexus One in January 2010. This is the number one reason I have stuck with an iPhone over the past few years as it allows me to use two different Google Voice numbers on the same device. The fact that I have been writing that last sentence for over two and a half years boggles my mind. I cant believe Google has not come up with a solution to this problem and even more surprised that so few third party developers have taken up the task.
With that said I am currently using the following solution.
1. To Make Calls: I use GooveIP http://goo.gl/iTczt
2. for SMS I am using SynerGV http://goo.gl/4nKkc
Both of these solutions are "good enough" however they are far from great. Still looking for a single well written app to use with my secondary Google Voice number.
It is a mystery to me how it is possible that an app for this has not yet been created. I would think it would be a lucrative project. I would pay just about anything for this application its the only reason my iPhone is still my primary device.
GrooveIP is great app but rather than buying SynerGV for sms, select the option to push incoming text messages to your gmail account then reply in your default browser using GV mobile site (google.com/voice/m). Its simple and free. I don't know why Google does not see the profit in having 2 numbers on 1 mobile number then having multiple accounts for its voice app. I would definitively pay the fee but anyway I hope this helps.
With the increasing number of secure and non-secure communications apps out there, and the variety of SMS/MMS, etc available, it would be great to have a way of specifying which app is used per contact entry to use.
For example, if you have a contact in your phone that only knows your Google Voice number, but not your real phone number, instead of trying to remember which number you gave him, you can specify either in an app, or the contacts list, that any time you call or text this person, it will use your Google Voice number automatically. Or, you are chatting with someone online and you want to use WhatsApp to communicate with them instead of Skype, or instead of Kik. Or, you want to have secure communications with a spouse with end-to-end encryption and want to use Signal instead of your default SMS app.
Does anyone know of an application that can do this, or a modification to make?
