Hello!
I've tried to find an answer to my problem in this forum, but no luck. I'm on stock Pie, latest build for the Nordic region XXU2CSC8. SM-G965F. No root.
Under Oreo, when making calls to the last dialled number over my car Bluetooth device (ST Buddy R20) , the display would wake up, showing details of the person I was calling. A nice feature which gave the opportunity to verify that I was actually calling the person I wanted. Under Pie, the display does not wake up when making a call the same way. It wakes up, however, when hanging up (still via the Bluetooth device). Is this normal? Am I missing a setting somehow? Is it possible to change settings somehow giving me the same function that I had under Oreo? I'm thankful for any input.
Regards,
sten_amund

Some of you may remember this from Android 4.3, some might not even know it exists, on some devices is included in stock ROM (as I know Samsung devices and Sony devices have it...lucky them)
On short, there was an option in dialer settings labeled "Network event notification" that showed when you were receiving a diverted call (shown as "INCOMING CALL (FORWARDED)" instead of just "INCOMING CALL") or it showed when you call somebody and that person is already engaged in a call (shown as "DIALING (WAITING...)" instead of just "DIALING")
This information was nicely integrated within the AOSP in-call UI and was shown on that blue bar that is showing up until call is answered.
There are some hypothetical scenarios to use that, one being the case in which you have two phones/numbers and one is "personal/private" and the second is a "business" one. Say after working hours you will divert the "business" number to your "private" one just not to miss an eventually important call from office or a client. If you receive a call but this function is not in, you cannot tell if the call you're receiving is from a person that dialed your personal number or is someone calling on your work one. If we have back this option we can easily see that while phone is ringing and decide if we take the call or not.
Also when we call someone it's useful to see that the other party is engaged in a call already so we wont keep ringing and eventually get frustrated when the one we're calling is not answering (being in a call, most people do not reject an incoming second call, they just let it ring). We could easily see from first seconds that our call is "waiting" and we could hang up and try again later.
So if it is possible I would like to kindly ask for adding back this feature that we miss since KitKat is out. In the early KitKat builds there was even the option present in the dialer settings (ported from the previous Android version) but it never worked. Eventually in some ROMs it was event taken out, probably the devs considered it either useless or they didn't want to bother with it. Currently there is no KitKat ROM having this function working as far as I know (except if it was included in a stock ROM by the device manufacturer)
Thank you, hoping for a positive feedback...
Hi does anyone know if there was ever something done for this?
Bump, I also would really like to have this functionality back and it should not be too difficult to implement
Please use the QUOTE feature when replying to me to get my attention. Thanks!
Hi everyone,
a friend of mine has an Elephone device - I don't know which one, but it's running Lollipop.
She said she once activated the feature, that would detect when she's receiving a call and places the phone by her cheek (as you would do when speaking on the phone) and thus the phone would automatically pick up. I guess it has something to do with the proximity sensor or so?
Anywho, this "feature" isn't working properly, so the phone keeps answering calls while it's in her purse.
I checked all the settings menus and also the phone-app settings, but couldn't find anything to deactivate this.
Can someone help me? Thank in advance!
Hello, I have a question here,
Got marshmallow running on my HTC One m8.
There is no silent mode anymore as in no sound and no vibration. What's there now is the do not disturb feature which basically does the same. But Accidentally I had it set to accept calls only from contacts.
What I can not find out now is, does this actually and actively block and deny any calls of unknown numbers without logging them or showing in any way that this person tried to call me, or does it just not show full screen call notification when I receive a call of unknown numbers?
Hope someone can shed a light on this.

Hi! Google replaced Do Not Disturb feature with Silent in Lollipop 5.0 and it was reported that they will bring Silent back at a later stage. Anyways, the Do Not Disturb feature in Android phones does not decline calls automatically like iPhone's Do Not Disturb, it only silents your phone and if you have selected 'Contacts Only' then it will only ring if someone from your contacts call you otherwise it will remain silent and notify you of the call or text (or whatever) and your screen will turn on while a call is being received.
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU!
Okay thanks! Was worried I'll miss calls or something.
I tried it out in the meantime, asked a friend whose number I don't have to call me. I didn't ring loud regardless whether I set accept all calls, or contacts only. It rung silently but the call came through in both cases.
Since updating V10 to the newest Marshmallow build I realized that when i am on a call I cannot access the rest of the phone...More specifically I cannot use the navigation buttons while in call. Is there a way to disable this...thanks
How did you update?
Hello,
I am having a problem with incoming call interface of stock android oreo. I'm new to XDA, i heard, here are great Android developers who can solve almost anything with android. I've Nokia 5.1 Plus device which is based on android one.
I usually keep phone in my front pocket of shirt. As the incoming call interface of Stock Oreo, if you swipe down anywhere on screen, it'll reject the call. So when i pick up the phone from front pocket, sometimes it got swiped down and reject the call! (Idk why this happen only to me ).
So i wanted to know is there any solution to change the incoming call interface? I do not want to install custom rom, because it will destroy warranty. I tried some apps from playstore (like i call slide etc) which change interface to swipe right to answer. But idk Android kill this app sometime and it shows old Oreo incoming call screen! Can anyone help me with this problem with permanent solution. I heard about substratum which let us allow to use themes without root, does these themes also change the incoming call interface?
Thanks in advance,
