I read online the new december patch that came out, made changes to the AOD. I just noticed.. that when a notification comes in, its like a rain drop. The app icon drops from the top of the screen, and bounces into position.
Is there anything else you have noticed.
It fixed the imbalanced and distorted speakers of the Pixel 3 XL
Apps persist in the background longer so switching is smoother.
Does anyone know if the update fixed the issue with the pixel stands and audio notifications or lack there of?
I noticed that battery life is really shorter with december update...
It fixed a few things for me:
- I used to have phone call problems like people suddenly can't hear me - this seems now resolved.
- the usb-c headphones are now detected every time when I plug them in - before it often wouldn't detect them
- phone seems smoother

Seems normal to me, it just takes a day or two for the system to adjust caches and optimize the battery again. They probably tweaked the battery AI as well.
Is anybody using apps to record calls? Now the phone beeps every 15s to let other party know you're recording, very annoying Was wondering if it was doing so on Novembers update

It doesn't beep on your side, but it does beep for your recipient, and it's also provider dependant. Tried using EE SIM, no beeping, then put back my Vodafone SIM and beeping is back. This article here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/call-recording-tone-implemented-android-t3876483 did say the tone will only be activated if carrier wants it. Damn Vodafone, wish I knew it before signing 24 months contract with them. Now my only hope is that someone with Vodafone and brains good enough will find how to deactivate this new Android feature...

I can't answer that. I didn't use it on other phones, and haven't used any other call recorders on the Pixel 3, so can't compare it. I just checked my battery usage and it doesn't even show up on the list of apps using battery, so certainly not a battery hog when not on a call. I don't make many calls so haven't noticed any abnormal battery usage with it installed. It has a visible button on the call screen so it's easy to start or stop the recording if you want.

So sounds like the beep has nothing to do with the Dec update. I'm on Google Fi, just tested it by calling my phone from my landline and no beep.

It might have been November's or previous update, but it's one of those released after the article was written (February if I remember correctly). The fact that you don't have a beep means your network carrier did not activate this new Android feature. Vodafone did :crying:

Ok. Can't dispute what you're saying. Seems odd that Google Fi wouldn't conform to Google's Android spec, but I'm not complaining. Might be related to Google Fi using other carriers, Sprint and T-Mobile, in the US since it appears from your observation it's carrier dependent. Our call recording laws vary by State as well which could complicate implementation here.

https://www.xda-developers.com/android-p-call-recording-tone-support-record-phone-calls-lawfully/
Android P will add Call Recording Tone support so you can Record Phone Calls Lawfully
Android P will be adding support for a call recording tone so users on certain carriers will be aided in recording phone calls lawfully, according to a series of recent commits. This is not native support of call recording being added to Android P which already exists but is not implemented by most OEMs. This is simply so that a user on the other end of a phone call can be made aware the phone call is being recorded, and will only be enabled if the carrier wishes the device to play the tone.
The tone is a 1400Hz note that will play every fifteen seconds if the carrier enables it. It works by detecting the package name of a call recording app using the previously linked API. If any such package is detected, then the outgoing call will have the tone played to warn the other end that their call may be recorded. The tone will be automatically played depending on carrier configuration, which is determined by the SIM card.
According to the commits, Vodafone Germany is the only carrier that this call recording tone support will be mandated (for now), as the MCC/MNN combination mentioned in one of the files matches Vodafone’s carrier identity: 26202. This was likely done because Germany is two-party consent when it comes to call recording, not one party like some other countries. This means that the person on both ends of the phone line needs to know that they are being recorded, and calls may not be recorded without each party’s consent.

Basically I tested it as I'm with Vodafone and I get beeping (well, the other party hears it really, not me as I'm recording), and then tested with EE network and no beep there.

I'm not recording calls as far as I know & still the phone is beeping every 15 secs according to the other party who I'm on the call with. It's really annoying and I have no idea how to stop it!!! And yes I'm using Vodafone but I'm in the UK not Germany.

I'm in the UK too. You must have some app recording, because as soon as I switch off ACR, beeping stops. I've lost my hope to find a solution as issue is isolated to one carrier and not too many people will care, wish I didn't sign up with Vodafone for 24 months now...

I'd like to bring again into attention this lack of functionality of both Android and WinMo devices.
As far as I know, with the exception of Nokia and some Sony-Ericson devices, no others notify about receiving a call made on a diverted phone.
That is, if I have 2 numbers (A and B) and A is diverted to B, if I receive a call on A I don't see a "diverted" icon (or sign of any kind) on the phone with number B.
Still no solution or software for this?
P.S. Also when you call somebody and you are waiting on line (the other party has "call waiting" activated), there is no "waiting" sign to notify you.
This call waiting issue is also present on iPhone. I don't understand why these two functions are not present in smartphones (except Nokia Symbian) and at the same time the cheapest dumb phones have them
Actually, call waiting works for me. Whenever I am on a call and someone else calls, I hear a beep and I can see on the screen that I have another call. If I don't answer, the other call stays in my call history as an unanswered call.
About the first issue, I wondered about that too. I had a really dumb Sony Ericsson phone which supported this feature.
P.S. I misread your call waiting issue... Whenever I call someone who has call waiting I get a beep that tells me I am waiting... However, as far as I know this is an operator feature. On another operator a voice actually tells you to wait because the other party is talking.

I didn't switch to another operator, I just switched from Nokia E66 to iPhone and later to Legend when I lost that feature.
i get another issu too !!
and am sure you all get it ..
in (smart) dumb phones when i call my manager (and my manager is already talking in a call with his wife for example) it gives me different call sound tone, to notify me he is in a call so i stop calling and wait to call again later ...
in (stupid) smart phones, Windows Mobile and Legend !
if i call my manager and he is already in a call, i never hear anything to notify me! so i dont stop my call , and it really seems so stupid and disturbing from me sometimes !
the reason is what ?
i dont really know ....
is it that much hard to put these simple options ?
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11026
... suggests that the functionality is within the stock Android dialler, but not in the HTC dialler. Use a ROM that allows you to install the standard dialler and use that by default?

I was talking about "call waiting" notification when you are calling someone that has call waiting function, not when you are the one that is called and you're notified about a second incoming call. biomy explained better the idea that I was talking about.
And no, there is not about the operator. You can have a nokia on any carrier, it'll work the same. It's just the way the phone or it's software decodes the incoming call signal. As this is received by all phones the same, I presume any phone/software can decode it in the same way nokia is doing if it has this implemented. As far as I know though, there is no application on the market (paid or free) that does this simple thing. I'm sure most of us will even pay for it.
Same here.. All calls from my boss diverted to my number if he didn`t pick up phone in 10 seconds.. My old Nokia 6233 show green arrow for diverted calls, but no any notification about it with my Samsug Galaxy Spica and Samsung Galaxy S.

Any updates on this please?
I have the same issue. No diverted call icon when an incoming call which has been diverted comes through
No update...seems like nobody has found a solution to it. Still waiting, pity we don't have such thing
Maybe we're not so many that needs this, in order for someone to start looking and develop something. My hope is that a developer will need this feature at some time and he'll start doing it. (or we should find a Nokia with Android )
If some android phones have the diverted call notification (galaxy s on 2.1) can the code be ported to other devices?
I divert calls from my work phone to my personal mobile, and really need to be able to tell when I'm receiving a diverted call from my work number
Samsung is the second phone brand that includes this in all or most of their phones. Doesn't matter if it's Android or not, Nokia and Samsung has this feature (and as I know they're the only ones to do it).
Maybe there is hope if an Samsung Android phone (Galaxy S) has it...maybe there will be a developer that will try to find a way or reverse engineer the ROM to find the code for it. I am willing to pay for it for sure and I'm sure some other will as well.
Diverted Call Display app for Android
After the issue bothered me enough, I have made an attempt at detecting incoming diverted calls.
The app is using the device log to find out if an incoming call is diverted, and thus needs READ_LOGS permission. READ_PHONE_STATE is needed to get notified about incoming calls.
So far the app has been tested on CyanogenMod 5 and 7 on GSM/UMTS phones. It probably won't work at all on CDMA devices and neither on devices which already implement any type of diverted call notification.
Please test if it works for you and tell me your Android firmware version (and if it's an AOSP-based community firmware).
Nexus S 3G i9023, CM7.1.0-NS - works well )) Thank you.
Xperia Arc 2.3.4 original rom OK.
I would like to be saved in the call log.
It works perfect in HD2, HyperDroid-CM7-v5.3.0 [CyanogenMod7 LEO 2.3.7][seader_R9].
Thanks
That's a great thing, you've made...alot of people happy.
Unfortunately, I've changed my Legend and replaced it with a Desire S. Playing with other ROMs, I've finally installed a MIUI ROM and it seems this "diverted notification" IS integrated in MIUI. So for me the problem was solved by having a MIUI ROM. Though I'll ask my friend who's now the owner of my ex Legend to test this...he's still using CM 7.1 on it.
Works fine on Motorola Defy with MIUI 2.3.5.
Thank You very much Ge0rG for such a beautiful solution of that problem.
Can you please add to your application notification for "call waiting" and "on hold"?
Because Motorola's and HTC's doesnt have this features.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
P.S. I was talking about "call waiting" notification, when you are calling someone that has call waiting function & you call him on the second line.
Brilliant... Works a treat for me...
HTC Desire HD - Stock (Orange UK) ROM.

Works on Nexus One with actual cyanogenmod nightly (cm_passion_full-253, 7.2.0-RC0(?)). Perfekt!
It will be great, if this could be included in cyanogenmod directly.
I am coming from the LG G2. I love the build quality of the M8. So far, my only ***** is the ability, or lack thereof, to block phone calls.
On the G2, if I went to Settings>Call, there was a call reject setting there. It had a check box to block unavailable numbers, and I could add any number I wanted. I also could use what I called a wildcard to block calls.
For example, I could add 1-800. Then there was an option under that to choose beginning, end, etc.
I could just enter the 1-800 and then choose beginning. So all calls beginning with 1-800 would be blocked. Just add 1-800, 1-877, 1-866, etc and get all the stupid telemarketers who "somehow" got my number to be blocked.
Is the functionality missing on the HTC? I had thought that this was a function of KitKat Android.
Would be nice to have back.

I have yet to receive my M8, but in the past i've tested out about 20 call blocking apps and found extreme call blocker to be the best one as it blocks the call BEFORE it even hits the device. Also it has options out the wazoo. I know we're not supposed to talk about paid apps here but i've spent a long time testing all those different apps out and if it's not baked into the M8, it'll save you lots of time testing. I'm in no way shape or form affiliated with extreme call blocker, just a long time, satisfied user

Doesn't actually happen before it hits the device, cause if it did there would be no way for call blocker to interact with said incoming call. There is a delay from when call hits device, and actually rings. This is where it intercepts the call. I use Root Call Blocker Pro. Many options also. I have it set to kill the call immediately. It can be setup to send it directlyto voice mail. Let it ring once, kill ect. Also will log, and block texts same way.

This is true but my phone never rings. It'll actually pick up for a sec and immediately disconnect without using a special ring tone designed to silence first ring. Not quite sure how root call blocker pro works as it may have come out after I discovered extreme call blocker. It also has the same features in that you can block calls and texts alike. Set it to go straight to vm, hang up no voicemail. I'll have to test root call blocker out to see what the similarities and differences are

Exactly. Mine never rings either. Runs as a service, that's why it needs root. My screen never lights up, or anything. Nothing to let u know there was even a call except the log. It kills the call the milisecond it hits the phone, so it never hits the dialer/ringer whatever u wanna call it...

I've developed an Xposed module to detect when diverted (forwarded) calls are incoming. This is the support thread for this module.
The module is available here: http://repo.xposed.info/module/ch.masshardt.divertedcall
Please report any problems in this thread.
Thanks for using your time to developed this.bi am so sorry but I have no idea what this mod does. Can you please explain a little better as I don't know what diverted means.
Thanks!
A diverted call is an incoming call that was forwarded from another phone. The problem is that the number that is displayed on the phone is the calling number and not the number of the phone the call was forwarded from. So the number could be from the local country but was forwarded from a phone in a different country and there is no way to see that. With this mod it is at least possible to display a message with Tasker when such a call is incoming.
There are also other threads about this problem:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11026
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2544

Any chance you could give some further detail on how to set up within Tasker?
I've uploaded an example Tasker profile on pastebin: http://pastebin.com/G4FDZe4M
Just download the example and save it as an xml file on your phone. In Tasker the profile xml can be imported by short pressing the "PROFILE" tab in Tasker and selecting "Import".
Interesting module, but I'm not really sure what problem this app is trying to solve...
When I receive a call that was diverted I'm being shown the original callers number with a text "forwarded call" below it - but that may be due to my use of CM?
However the 2 problems I do have with diverted calls can't be addressed with this mod afaict:
- In call log there's no indication whether a call was forwarded
- Different ringtone can't be set as the standard ringtone is played by Phone app and I could use tasker only to play an additional one but not replace it.
It's actually really cool if it works as I think it does. I've been getting a lot of random calls recently, all telemarketer. (Yay me)
Over half of them have my hometown's area code, but I know they are not actually that number from research. My phone at least does not say anything about it being a forwarded call. It would be nice to have an idea if they are actually a telemarketer calling or a friend that I had lost his number.
It depends on the rom that is running on the device. Google did not implement this notification in their source code, but some roms added this feature. E.g. on my Sony device I only receive a toast message for about 2 seconds that the call was diverted. Most of the time it takes more than two seconds until I notice that the phone is running so this notification doesn't help much. Also with the intent it is possible to do other things. For instance the phone could be muted or unmuted when such a call is incoming. I for an example use the plugin to unmute the phone when a diverted call is incoming if I am in charge of my office's 24/7 hotline. For this it would be really cool if also the redirecting number could be reported, but I don't think that this information is available in the 3g protocol.

As the person who created that issue in 2009, thanks for this module
Haven't quite got it to work yet in tasker yet though!
great idea .... thanks for update ....
Any updates on this whether it works before i purchase Tasker from Google Play
Thanks.
You can also use this with other apps than Tasker. Everything that supports Android Intent's should work.
@Thenetstriker
Hi, I'm trying to use this module.
I tried with tasker and e-robot but is working only one time (only for the first event).
If i reboot the phone is working again for the firs event but not the others following.
Any idea?
Tks.
problem
Thanks for your effort!
I meet the same problem with @mbgheban, "It is working the first time. If i reboot the phone, it work again for the first event but not the others following. Tasker cannot receive any more intent".
I am using android 6.0.
---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------
Moreover, only ver1.1 can work at the first event. Version 1.0 didn't work even the first time.
What's the difference between these versions?
unrooted?
did anyone find a way to get a notification without rooting the phone?
I am using a S8 which is showing a forwarded call notification but of cause too short...
Any creative ideas on how to enable the Stock Call Recorder?
I learned that it's disabled in Software and could be enabled with an editor if I had root (Realme Post explaining how) - but is there another way without root or to change the Region to make it think it was in India for example?
I already factory-reset, choosing India Region on first boot. Did the same with Thailand and with a Thai Sim, but none of that worked.
Bump ... anyone? Or any third party solution?
I tried Skvalex and Cube ACR but the quality is piss poor.
Even considered selling my German Phone and ordering a Chinese Variant, but apparently that comes without LTE Band 20.
I desperately need call recording, hugely frustrating because by now I fell in Love with this phone. The battery life alone is nothing short of incredible - but I can't use it as my day to day phone without call recording.

Hi good people of XDA, Iam facing a serious issue in the Contacts app of my new Google Pixel 6.
When I call somebody and they answer their phone, the call shows as "Private number" in the Recents tab.
If they do not answer, then the contact name is shown normally, as it should.
Take a look at the screenshot here: https://postimg.cc/jL1yT1NX
All items shown as "Private" are calls that I made and they answered.
I've searched online, but i didn't find anything related to this issue. Am i he only one who is facing it?
Any insights could help a lot.

Looks like your carrier is blocking caller ID on outgoing calls or you somehow enabled it on your own. I know with Verizon I can block my number on all calls or on a case by case basis.

Hi bobby, thanks for the reply.
Caller ID is not blocked. The person that receives the call is seeing my number.

Oh I get it now. That's an odd one, I can't seem to find a setting where that would change things.
Maybe an app you have is messing things up. Have you tried making a call while in safe mode?

Explain safe mode please.
When you are on the the Emergency, Lockdown, Power Off... Etc screen, long press on Power Off. It will give you an option to reboot into Safe Mode.
Safe mode disables all of the apps you installed so you can see if it's an app causing the issue.
Just reboot again to get out of safe mode.
Go to settings > apps > all apps, tap on the 3 dots (upper right) and 'Show system' apps. Then try clearing cache and data for:
- dialer (phone app)
- phone storage
- contacts app
- contacts storage
Then reboot.
Not sure if that will help, but does not do any harm, it will resync all your contacs.
Hi all,
Thank you for your replies. I tried both suggestions.
I rebooted in safe mode and tried calling my wife.
The problem persisted.
I tried clearing data and cache for the apps suggested and rebooting the phone.
The problem persisted.
The strange thing while I am calling the phone of the contact is shown in the dialer. As soon as the person I am calling answers the phone their name is replaced and the dialer app shows "Private number" instead.
I am really confused!

Post it on Reddit r/GooglePixel sub. This can't be unique. I'm thinking carrier related but just a shot in the dark at this point.

I'm intrigued. Which carrier? Do you have wifi calling you can try out?
Maybe something in permissions manager?
Hello! We have the same problem. On my wife's phone (Pixel 6), the phone writes private number for outgoing calls. There is no problem with incoming calls. Like Gonik, I tried everything, but nothing helped.
We live in Hungary and our mobile service provider is Telekom.
Carrier: Cablenet
Wifi calling: not supported
My next step is to try a sim card from a different carrier.

I am relieved that I am not alone! At the same time, I am sorry your wife is going through the same problem.
Hopefully Google will acknowledge it soon.

Yes, it would be nice to fix it because the error is pretty frustrating. And on top of that, she got the phone from me as a gift.
Omg, I am not alone. So I bought unlocked phone in USA, and I am using it in Serbia (Europe) on mts network. ChrYslerHUN is in neighboring Hungary, so it could be related to usa/europe differences and European carriers.
But still, I have never seen anything like that, and it is quite frustrating. What does outgoing calls have to do with carriers. Your phone. should know which numbers you dialed, right.

Or place your sim in a different device.
I'm having the exact same issue. Not only me, my wife also has a Pixel 6 and is experiencing the same problem. I've searched in Google but only found a couple of posts in Reddit and this one. Has anyone found a solution for this? It's kind of annoying. I'm from Spain.
Happy New Year to Everyone!
In the meantime, I installed another dialer application that can also record calls, so the problem is partially resolved, as it shows the called party properly during recordings. Regardless, it would even be nice to have an official fix for the bug.
The dialer application name is: ACR Phone
ACR Phone - Apps on Google Play
Privacy respecting phone dialer app with SIP and call recording support
