Due to a busy schedule, missed call are a constant, and many times the person calling insists on keep calling until I answer. The ideia is to automatically send an SMS with a pre-defined message to let the caller know that I'm on the phone or otherwise busy, and that I will be returning the call as soon as possible. So, how can I send an automatic SMS for missed calls?

Is this even possible with ADB? If so, how? P.S: the command adb -s shell input keyevent 6 is not an answer!

I have a Samsung Galaxy Y phone with Gingerbread. I have just discovered that I do not receive any kind of missed call notifications when my phone is busy on another call. I am quite shocked as this facility is available even in very cheap, ordinary phones. How do I fix it? Is it because of some phone settings of mine? or is there an android update? or do I need to install some app? or is the trouble with my network operator?

Android Missed Call Notification Sound/Chime

Consider this scenario. I am listening to music on my android phone and I have DND mode on and set to *priority only*. A spam call comes in and my phone dutifully blocks the call right away **but** the android missed call notification sound/chime plays. I think it is similar to the sound the phone plays when you hang up at the end of a normal phone call. I would very much like to silence this sound so that it *never* plays when a call is missed and sent straight to voice mail. Is it possible to do this with an app or in the android settings?

How to stop a phone from ringing without rejecting the call?
Sometimes I don't want to take a call, but I don't want him to know that. So I left the phone be until it stops, so it would appear that I'm away from phone or something and I miss the call. Can I silence the ringing tone and the vibration while doing that? **Info**: My phone is Galaxy S

Is there a way to disable missed call notifications? I haven't found it in any settings on the device, but I'm wondering if anyone knows a trick to disable them. Possibly an app that someone knows of? Background: I use Google Voice, which also tells me about missed calls. When I miss a call that the phone itself gets, I get a duplicate notification that sticks around until I go into the call log. I don't want to lose the Google Voice notifications, because they also tell me if I missed calls outside of signal range or when the phone is off. EDIT: I don't think there is a real solution to this, so I have submitted an Android feature request . If you are interested in this feature, please go star the issue or post your thoughts.

I have a HTC one x with the default HTC sense. Missed calls do not appear in the notification list which is frustrating ... The calls appear in the call history log so it knows about them. I've also tried calling myself with a another phone and it all appears as normal but when the call is hung up, no notification appears. I'm sure it use to show notifications and I cannot find any settings that would control this. Will factory reset if this just seems wrong/buggy.

I have tested this from my land line and sometimes the phone does everything it's supposed to and other times doesn't ring and doesn't log a missed call but records a voice mail.

I have a Galaxy Note 8.0 N5100 tablet which is updated to the latest version of Android (4.2.2) using the following official ROM from SAMMOBILE . My problem is even when I deliberately reject someone's calling, there's a notification shown like this: > missed call notification This is really annoying for me because I have put someone in my auto rejection list, but whenever he calls, this notification is shown. I did factory reset, and now the problem is fixed. But can anyone help me pointing what was wrong? Is it because of the Android update?

The name "Alicia Han" appears to be calling!
I think there's a bug in Android where some *Alicia Han* appears to be calling. This happens *some times* if you hang up on someone calling you, or you have a missed call.

I think there's a bug in Android where some *Alicia Han* appears to be calling. This happens *some times* if you hang up on someone calling you, or you have a missed call. The name appears in the instant before the correct name of the caller appears on the phone. To be specific: In the interim between the phone screen turns on and the content is loaded on the screen. All relevant hits I get on the subject is this tweet. So I'm not crazy! Have any of you seen this, and do you know what happens / who Alicia Han is? This has happened haphazardly since I got my HTC Sensation XE a year ago. Edit: I think the problem might be that there is a standard Label text for a Person entry (such as the ones in the Persons list) that is set to 'Alicia Han' and the label text is replaced when the Person information is fully loaded. Edit: The bug is reproducible (at least for me) by hanging up an incoming call. The name Alicia Han appears for a few milliseconds before the real name is loaded.

I have a *Samsung Galaxy S6012.* Long time back (I do not remember when) I've got a call. Even though I answered that call, it was put as missed call. Since then it shows a missed call alert in my phone. First I removed that particular number from the list. Still the same alert was there. Then I removed the entire log history – still the same missed call alert. I have restarted the device many times but all my work went in vain. **NOTE** By "missed call alert" I mean a numeric ① being displayed on top of the phone icon: Missed call This is the phone I have Image The phone icon is at the bottom left side.If any missed calls then I get a number(like 1,2) at the top like this Image

Free / local voicemail / answering machine
My carrier having pretty high monthly prices for voicemail, I did not take the service. However, when I'm at school, unable to answer, and my busy doctor calls me, knowing I probably won't be able to join her for weeks with her busy schedule and only one phone line for the whole clinic, or when a hi...
My carrier having pretty high monthly prices for voicemail, I did not take the service. However, when I'm at school, unable to answer, and my busy doctor calls me, knowing I probably won't be able to join her for weeks with her busy schedule and only one phone line for the whole clinic, or when a hidden number (which could be anything from the hospital to telemarketing) calls me, I really wish I did have a voicemail box. But I don't have one, and my carrier isn't getting any cheaper. Prices closely match other carriers, of course, like any "healthy" telecom market. So I have been searching for an app that allows this, to no avail. I did find an app that automatically answers an SMS back to the caller if I miss their call, but 1. it didn't always work, 2. 95 % people calling me are doing so from non-mobile phones, 3. some people actually pay for incoming SMS, 4. it doesn't allow people to leave a message. I saw something called Google Voice, which sounds amazing, with not only a free voicemail box, but even the ability to view them as text, and have them in your inbox, but when I go to https://www.google.com/voice , I'm taken to Google Mail. And searching the Play Store for "Google Voice" doesn't yield any appropriate results. These things tell me, I guess, that the only "Google Voice" available to me, in Canada, is that thing that enables you to make calls from your PC browser's Gmail inbox. So is there any way for me to have a voicemail without paying my carrier's high fees? There should be some way to do this locally, at least, because the call is here, and the phone has an SD card to save it on, and the ability to answer it, listen to it and talk to it, as illustrated by the fact it's, uhm, a phone. And it can record sound, too. Unless they put some sort of lock in phones to prevent people from escaping carriers' abusive costs. Or so I hope. So, is there something I can do? Did I misunderstand the whole Google Voice thing? Did I miss something obvious? Is there some way to do this? My phone's specs should be: - Samsung Galaxy Q (SGH-T589W) - Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread - Processor: 600MHz Qualcomm MSM7227 (if indeed it's the same as the Gravity Smart, because information on the Galaxy Q is rare) - Internal storage: 152 MB, some of which I think is taken up by the OS or useless stock software, because I can't ever seem to free it - RAM: 279 MB - SD card: 2 GB My carrier is called Videotron, if it's of some use.

Recovering a Missed Call
I just received a call today, but my phone locked up during the call, and when I went to the missed call list, the number didn't show up. Is there any way to somehow recover the number that was calling?

Only after I made a call or send a message then all the missed calls and SMSes came at once. How do I restore the normal function?
