[Q] Greeting message to caller before call is picked up. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible that during the call a greeting message is played to the caller like: "Welcome, Please wait while the call is picked" ? Is there any Android app that can do this functionality? How do I search for this feature on Android? Is there any name for this feature of playing a greeting message to caller?

First of all, you can not do this without picking up the call from your phone.. If you want this feature, then check whether your operator provides any hello tune or similar services like this..

[Q] Voicemail/Answerphone

Hello Guys,
Quite a while ago I used a Symbian app as an answerphone on my Nokia N96. I believe it was called Advanced Call Manager.
The question is: Are there any apps out there that will allow me to use my Samsung Galaxy SII to answer incoming calls and record messages.
These were the features of ACM for the N95:
More efficient call-handling options you can assign to different contacts
ACM gives you five more ways to subtly escape calls without having to hang up:
Busy tone – send a busy tone to callers. Avoid acting rude by hanging up.
Busy tone and SMS – add a personal touch to sending a busy tone: inform your callers with pre-assigned SMS replies.
Mute the ringer – let the calls through with a muted ringer. More discrete, and keeps you undisturbed.
Divert calls – forward incoming calls when you are unavailable.
Play a personal greeting (Nokia devices only) – set your own answering machine and record the caller’s message straight onto your phone, avoiding having to call your operator to check voice messages.
Handle groups of contacts by creating lists
The easiest way to handle your calls is to divide callers into lists such as “Friends,” “Family,” “Work” and assign blocking rules for each. ACM gives you several handy list options:
Work with blacklists and whitelists – block or allow calls from people included in a list.
Import contacts from your phonebook – simplified list creation.
Individual settings allowed – personalize how ACM handles an individual caller included in a list (for example, send a specific SMS auto-reply to your mother while the default blocking action for list “Family” is to send busy tone).

The closest thing I have come across is Hullomail but this has to have all calls forwarded to there answer service. I'd prefer to simply handle all calls on my SGS2
Cheers.
This is the exact same app for android

Yes I've seen that one, but... It does not record or answer incoming calls on the Android platform.
Does anyone have experience of any apps along these lines?

Call blocker with voice respond

Hello,
is there any application similar to the Mobisophy Interactive Voice Call Master from the Symbian on Android?
I regret there is no any advanced voice blocker which could compete this Symbian app.
I need to block private calls but not just hang up. I want to make program answer and play my voice, example "if you want to talk with me, show up your number or leave message after signal". I can't find any app which allows this.

[Q] Call processing

Hi folks,
I was studying how to process a call internally in android. I found that in android 2.3 Google blocked some 'background' API that developers used to answer and decline calls.
But, i found that some apps around web have functionality of blocking or answering calls. But i didn't found how to make a specific action that is just ignore some call, without user interaction.
What is ignoring a call?
Let the incoming call ringing for the other-side caller, but doesn't display nothing on my android phone.
I know some developers around here know how to do that, so please, give me some tip. I want to know how to do that programmatically.
PS: I don't know if i'm asking in the correct forum, please say yes
Thanks and Peace.

[Q] Where is the Caller app defined?

Hi,
if someone calls you, Android launches the caller app. Where or how is it configured? I want to manipulate what caller app and how Android launches it. Does someone know where I can find it?

Challenge-response call blocker app

Dear android friends,
I have checked few call blockers from Play Store, but have no success with them. I am looking for challenge-response call blocker. I want to get same functionality for mobile calls as for emails... If caller is not on black list... and also not on white list (address book)... he receive customizable sms message and have to reply with his name, purpose of the call, etc. then he appears on temporal white list and can be approved for black/white list after having conversation...
Is such app available in Play Store? Is it somewhere in development or nobody believes in challenge-response system anymore?
Thank you for your advice.
With best regards,
