Is there anyway to just drop rejected/declined calls without sending them to voicemail?
Not by default, maybe some other dialler will do that but in general whenever you reject a call on any phone it sends them to voicemail.
Your other option is to just pickup and hang up right away or disable voicemail. I do that for 1800 numbers which id on't want some automated machine leaving me a message.
Get the Mr. Number from the Play Store. There's hangup and send to voicemail options.
I'm using avast mobile security and their call filter. It works great but when it blocks a call, it gets sent to voicemail. Support asked what happens when I manually reject a call so I believe it is using the reject function of the Nexus 4.
Besides Mr Number, there are others available that drop the call but I was trying to get away with only using one app...since avast is going to be on my phone anyway.

Hey, as we all know, WM doesn't have a real and stable built-in voicemail program, due to hardware restrictions. I know you can't record the incoming sound (unless its on speaker), but I'm looking for a program that will do the following:
1. If I don't do anything when a call is received, I want the program to do nothing, meaning the call would go to the regular voicemail.
2. When I get a incoming call, I want to have 2 options: Answer or Filter. If I press filter, the program would answer the phone call, and automatically play a message (same as voicemail). Now I can't record the incoming voice, but I can listen to the caller and decide if I want to answer or not. This would give me the big advantage of a built-in voicemail and bypass the hardware restrictions.
So, to sum up, if I can't answer a call and can't listen to it at the moment, I won't lose anything, but if I want to filter my incoming calls, its a great way to do that.
What do u think, is there a program like that already? Is it possible to create one?
When I set up my phone I selected GV for SMS and VM. I got tired of getting two sms notifications when I received one SMS etc....
After I rooted N1 I tried to remove GV (unsuccessfully) and I selected "my Carrier" for the default on VM and SMS. Fixed sms but....now anyone who calls my TMO number gets sent to my GV voice-mail.
What can I do? Any help appreciated.
Doesn't answer your question, but just an FYI: You could go into the default message app and turn off notifications so that you only receive one when you get an SMS.
in order to disable google voice voicemail just dial this ##004# and hit the call button.
Go into your call settings and change the call forwarding numbers back to your carrier's vmail number.
Not sure why you'd want to not use Google Voice, since it's got vmail transcription, etc. Your multiple notifications issue is simple user error and that can be fixed by adjusting your settings.
Hell Yeah!!! Thanks a lot!! Momo
Every time I get a GV voicemail, I than get an email in my gmail. I love GV. hell I have had it since GC days 2007. Android is new to me. But I have laid down my crackberry habit of 6 years. My wife's G1 one got me started. Sure loving this community and my N1.
*******Unsari1 ,,I already changed my call settings back but that did not help.
no problem glad it worked.
Also, if you were getting 2 notifications for sms, it's because you had the notification turned on in both GV and in the small client and not because there's a flaw.
Posted in another thread, but thought this was relevant to this thread as well...
To any of you who are using Google Voice as your default voicemail app... do you notice the phone's settings revert back to carrier voicemail after a reboot?
If I go to dialer after a reboot and hit the voicemail button, it dials T-mobile vmail... and if I go to Settings>Call Settings, Google Voice isn't selected anymore. So basically, it has to be set again after each reboot...
Still waiting on my DINC while using my WM TP2. I have one well two feathers I like to have on my DINC. I am tech support and get calls all the time:
1. On my TP2 when on a call and a new incoming call comes in I can reject that call with a 'send txt' button and it send the caller a text I pre-created to let them know I am busy. Is it possible to do this on the DINC?
2. There is a free app my TP2 uses to record all calls automatically and it helps me because I cannot not write many times when I am driving or running network in a ceiling so the ability to playback a saved call is huge. Is there a app out there anyone use to record calls on the DINC? (pls do not concern me about the legal side this is for me and me only and there are apps that can do it which I am doing now)
Thx
DINC does at least one of those

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is already built in ... go to PHONE -> MENU -> PHONE SETTINGS
The top entry is "Edit default message" where you would put your pre-typed rejection. Once its in there, on a phone ring, you can go to Menu and click "reject and send message" (or some such thing; cant be sure as I am not getting a phone call as I write this).
I want to stop using a mobile carrier and instead use google voice since they give you your own number and its free to call and text message. my computer alerts me when someone calls my google number and texts, but on my android phone or my customized kindle fire hd i only receive a notification when someone texts me and not when someone calls. it just alerts me a minute later that i got a missed call, is their any way around this? I doubt it, but maybe some xda god knows how to tweak and fix the problem. :good:
Problem: I do not receive any type of voicemail notification (no 9016 text, no voicemail icon in my notification bar, nothing).
About my phone: I have a Sprint Galaxy S4 (SPH-L720). I am running CM11. I can access my voicemail by holding the "1" in dialer (so I know the number is accurate in the settings). The "Message Wait" indicator option is checked in the voicemail setup. I did try Google Voice for a while (hated it, messed with my text messaging). I uninstalled it from my phone and disabled it via the google.com/voice site. I also cancelled call forwarding (*720) and conditional call forwarding (*38). When I call my voicemail or someone else calls my voicemail, it does go to the sprint voicemail system (I am confident I've severed the connection to Google Voice).
Fixes I've tried with no success: I've tried a few voicemail notification apps from the Play Store that are supposed to work with custom ROMs to "listen" for a voicemail. I've tried leaving myself a voicemail and deleting it. I've checked the Message Wait Indicator button in the settings. I've disabled call forwarding and conditional call forwarding as described above. I've made sure that I have no numbers Blacklisted. I've called Sprint and asked them to reset my voicemail on their end.
I've searched and searched. Most of what I find is 1) Use Google Voice (I tried and hated it); 2) people that have a persistent voicemail notification or 9016 text messages (I have nothing and want something), or 3) people that want Visual Voicemail to work (I don't care about visual voicemail, I just want a notification of some sort that says "Hey you have a voicemail". I don't always have great reception (Sprint is so terrible...but cheap), so I don't always know if I have a missed call.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Do you need more info? Thanks to all of you for your time and all you do on this site; it has helped me tremendously in the past. This is the first time I've been completely stumped after searching and had to post a question.
