Call Utils - Floating call notes - "NoteTags", Reject call with an auto message option, call recorder and blacklist

Call Utils is a utility app, serving to give you a hand in multiple phone call related operations.

[YOUTUBE]wp_K6AGU7Qg[/YOUTUBE]

You can install the app through Google Play Store. Here's the link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=callutils.com.scimet.admin.callutils

PROMINENT FEATURES

• Floating call notes that can be re-sized, moved, closed, or even minimized

• Message the note while on the call.

• Add a note while on the call.

• Activate 'reject calls' to reject calls automatically before the ring

• Option to send an automated custom message to rejected caller.

• Option to open up the WhatsApp chatbox of rejected caller.

• Set exceptions to receive calls only from them.

• Call blacklist (Call blocker - incoming calls from blacklist callers are blocked).

• Call Recorder - Record incoming and outgoing calls in 5 different formats.

An explanation for all the permissions required.

Read contacts - To display the contacts within the app so you can set exceptions and notes for.

Send SMS message - There's an optional feature called 'Auto Message' that can be enabled in settings. If you've activated 'call reject', and auto message is enabled, the custom message (which you can set in the settings menu) will be sent to the rejected caller.

Edit your text messages - Used for writing the text message.

Read Text messages - The messages sent after the call is rejected is stored as a sent message within Android's message app.

Draw over other apps - To show the NoteTag during the call. It can be moved, re-sized, closed or minimized.

Read phone state - For the BroadcastReceivers to detect an incoming call.

Run at startup - if call reject is active when you turn off the phone, it will be when you turn it back on.

External Storage - To save the audio files of recorded calls.

Microphone - To record voice calls.

full network access and view network connections - The free version contains ads, which requires network access.

That's all for now. I'll keep the app updated, and hopefully, even have new features added progressively.

Hope you find this app useful.

Thank you for reading. Hope to hear from you.

If you find a bug you want to notify of, e-mail me at scimetfoo@gmail.com . I'll revert back as soon as possible, and also have the fix pushed as an update

apk version 1.0.4 has been attached to this post.
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
Change Log

Version - 1.1.0

- Bug fixes.

- Call Recorder - record incoming and outgoing calls in 5 different formats.

- Removed SMS Blacklist. Android no longer allows non default SMS apps to block messages, as default SMS apps are given the highest priority for receiving messages.

If you use Android 4.3 or lower, you can still block messages using this app. If you would like to have an apk of the previous version of the app which has the SMS blocker, send me an email at scimetfoo@gmail.com.
[Android Apps and Games] rif15:
This is brilliant. No complains so far. Also, if I may make a suggestion, why don't you add an SMS blocker to the utility bundle?
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
Hi! Thank you! Glad you like it. It's quite ironic that you mention SMS blocker. That, along with a couple other new features is in works. I'll keep this post updated.
[Android Apps and Games] rif15:
Been using this app for a while now. What are the new features you talk of?
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
Speech to text for taking notes, SMS blocker, SMS float heads, GPS based call blocking etc. Been contemplating over them all. I want to make this a proper utility app.
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
I was expecting some feedback from a diversified array of audience. I'd appreciate it.
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
Expect an update for SMS blocker by tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
The app has been updated with SMS blocker and some major UI improvements.

Edit - may take a while to show up on the Play store. Check back in a couple of hours.
[Android Apps and Games] rif15:
Updated. Seems great so far. I'll get back here with more after I've used it for a while.
[Android Apps and Games] sherpa25:
Just downloaded. Does this replace answering an incoming call, or do I have to run the app every time I answer a call? I'm verifying because I tried it once and had to manually run the app after answering the call. Thanks for this.
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
I'm not sure what you're asking about, sorry. Is it about the note you're asking? If you've set a note for someone, it pops-up during the call. You can also message the note to the caller, or even edit it.

If you want the note to pop-up irrespective of it being set, select 'show empty notetags' from the settings menu.

If this isn't what you were asking about, please let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] sherpa25:
No need to apologize. Thanks for the reply. So I have to assign a note to contacts for which I'd want a note? But what if its unpredictable,like I 'may' need a note only depending on the call, not necessarily dependent on the contact. Or from what you said,I should set 'show empty notetags' so a note will always appear, regardless of who is calling? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
Yes, if you'd like to add notes during calls for callers who do not have note set, make sure you have "show empty notetags" enabled in the settings menu. You can then take notes during the calls for the caller by clicking the pen icon within the note. If you don't have it enabled, the note will only popup for those callers for whom you've set notes.

I hope you're finding the app useful. Let me know if you'd like to see something made more convenient within the app.
[Android Apps and Games] sherpa25:
OK,I've checked that setting so that a note is ready when id need it during a call. One final one not yet clear is, will a note automatically appear/popup after answering the call? BTW, is the app different from JIT notes? Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
Yes, it will automatically popup when you answer a call or even make a call.

I haven't checked out or heard of JIT notes. I'll make sure to do that.
[Android Apps and Games] rif15:
Bought the Pro version. Really nice. Any updates on the development progress of the app?
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
Currently working on a widget. There are a few features planned that will be released in future updates.
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
If anyone using this has any complains, please leave a comment here. It'll be worked on if it's constructive.
[Android Apps and Games] rif15:
Considering this is a Call Utility app, do you plan on adding a call recorder? Maybe one with a chathead that shows during calls?
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
Can't say I haven't considered it. This will happen.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroTech:
[MENTION=6290558]Ironsteel[/MENTION] & Other user of the app,

What is the call rejection method for this app? I have tired multiple call rejections but not able to get a single app which does the rejection as per the 1st point mentioned below.

Rejects the call at System level (No Ring or Screen Wake)

Rings for few seconds and then rejects the call

Picks the call and then rejects the call
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
Hi, this app is supposed to reject the call before the first ring. There could be delay by fractions of second, but that's as bad as it can get.

Could you tell me which phone you're using, and what's he problem that occurs for you?

Note that blacklist is for people you want to not hear from for a long time, and blacklist requires no activation as such. You just add a person to the blacklist, and all his calls will rejected by the app. Whereas, call reject is for people you temporarily want to shun, and you can do that by giving a reason (there's an automated SMS option for that, which gets sent after the rejection). If you're using call reject, you will have to activate it.

Did I clear it up? Please let me know.

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] paarkhi:
[MENTION=6290558]Ironsteel[/MENTION], Thanks for the nice application but Call recording (in amr or mp3, not 3gp, mp4 or wav) will be a welcome feature if possible
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
[MENTION=3484543]paarkhi[/MENTION], Glad you like it. Will roll out an update with the call recording feature, by next week.
[Android Apps and Games] nisiomorais:
Great app!

Can I suggest an option to add a number to blacklist from the call and/or the sms register?
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
I presume you mean the call logs and SMS inbox? Sure, I'll get to it. Call record and access to call logs and inbox to select numbers from will be added in the next update, which I hope to roll out within a week.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroTech:
Feature Request

@Ironsteel

1. To block calls starting or ending with a particular series. i.e. lets say I want to block all calls for numbers staring with 987-XXX-YYYY I will just 987 in the block list and rest of the things the app should take care

2. Able to clear the call block notification from Notification area.
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
Cool, I actually wanted to do this, but I dismissed the idea; presuming it wouldn't be necessary. But since it seems like people may want to have that in the app, I'll implement that as well for the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] Christopher8989:
Nice app thanks

This seems(?) to be answer a few posts back but I still can't get the app to run, or work. Nothing happen. No note appear with which ever setting.

I'm on Slim 4.1.2 for toro.
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
That seems weird. I'm sorry to hear that. Did you set the note to the contact you wanted to see it for? There's also an option called 'show empty notetag' in the settings menu. Could you try that and see what happens?

Also, there's an update coming out later today/tomorrow with new features.
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
[MENTION=3484543]paarkhi[/MENTION], the update is out. You can now record call in 5 different formats - MP3, AAC, FLAC, WAV and WMA.
[Android Apps and Games] paarkhi:
Thanks for the tag / mention and I will check the update and let you know, I'm on OnePlus with Blisspop ROM (based on CM12)

Edit: only one side (mine) recording, Yes, I read the instruction about enabling the speaker if the other side is not being recorded but it may not be possible always to enable to speaker just for the sake of recording.
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
Unfortunately, that's how your phone's hardware is designed, and nothing can be done about it from a software point of view.
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
Hi, I just rolled out an update with a bug fix for notetag. You may want to try out again.
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
The free version of Call Utils will have all the features of PRO, and also have ads removed, if the app is downloaded/used on 16th April. AppGratis is featuring the app on that day.
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
Downloading the free version today will unlock the pro version for free.
[Android Apps and Games] Rask40:
stupid question perhaps...

but where on my phone are the recorded calls stored? I'm at a loss trying to find them to copy them off the device to save them. (Moto X 2013)
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
The Call recording feature has been significantly optimized, for the phones it works on.
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
I missed your question, apologies. The recorded files are stored in a folder called 'CallUtilsAudio'. But at the time of you posting the question, they were stored in the internal memory, and were accessible only through app. Now they're stored on external memory, and you can access them using any file manager.
[Android Apps and Games] Ironsteel:
(Version - 1.1.7):

- Call recordings are now stored in a public directory, and can be accessed through any file manager

- Bug fixes

- UI improvements

When I first got my Z2 tablet in May, I had great battery life. I was averaging 5 to 6 days with 6+ screen on time. I'm now getting bad idle times, around 3 days with less than 3 hours screen on time.

Because of the recently bad idle times, I started turning off the tablet when not in use. This helped a lot until last night. I lost about 50% with the tablet OFF.

Has anyone had this problem?

Hi all,

I wanted to ask if it was possible to change the memory partition (I'm using CM11 if it's important).

My idea:

Primary partition for system, apps and data --> 20GB

Emergency partion for .zip to flash or backup --> 2gb

Is it possible?

How can I do?

Thanks for your time :)

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jobzombi:
I'm on an old version and the activation number is not working for me. Does anyone have a saved PRL of the most current version? I can flash it using qpst or cdma-WS.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] drewcam888:
Prl auto push to 4G LTE verizon devices. If you really think you need an update, you can call them and have them push one to your phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jobzombi:
For a few reasons I cannot do that. But if someone has PRL saved fomr QPST or CDMA WS that I could use, that would be great.

Also can I use an HTC Remix's PRL with my M8? Are they device specific and being that they are very similar would it work?

He means a firmware zip for stock kitkat that has seperate files for bootloader(BL) , System(PDA) , Modem (CP) and CSC.

Unfortunately there is no kitkat firmware with 4 seperate files. We have only single package 'tar.md5' file that must be flashed as PDA / AP. As suggested by our friends in posts above go to sammobile or samsung-updates website and download.

Good luck.

Hello,

my Z1 C6903 is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked.

I would enable Catlog, but it won´t work.

CMD is run as Administrator.

then "adb logcat" tells me:

it´s an plain textfile named "main" and CHMOD 777 and Owner is root

what is wrong here?

i hope anyone know it!
[X 2014 General] Solutions Etcetera:
Much like the original Moto X under early KitKat, this phone is almost unusable in the car over Bluetooth, and is far more "unsafe" than a ringer that does not start out in an attenuated state.

1.) Moto Voice prompts are at least 10-15dB below Google voice prompts and other notifications, making them unheard, and forcing the driver to take his eyes off the road.

2.) In call volume is often reset to much lower levels than when last used, forcing the driver to take a hand off the wheel to raise the volume on the handset.

3.) Numerous other intermittent issues including remote controls not pausing/resuming media playback, notifications pausing playback sometimes, and playing over it others.

The whole thing really is a mess and I can't tell you how frustrating it is to go through this all over again with a new Moto phone. If safety is really a concern for Moto, as evidenced by the stupid ringer "feature" previously discussed here, you'd think this would be of the utmost priority for Motorola developers and lawyers alike.
[X 2014 General] sonic1675:
Thank you perfectly said.
[X 2014 General] bjh03b:
I have found the bluetooth experience to be sporadic between devices, very inconsistent.
[X 2014 General] qwerty12601:
While it can be frustrating...enough with the dramatics already.

If a text or call is so important to you while you're driving, I hope common sense would kick in and pull over instead of trying to figure it out while driving, and blame Motorola for any possible hazard...

First world problems.
[X 2014 General] tacosrdelicioso:
Lol wow.....this is the world I live in.
[X 2014 General] eqjunkie829:
I agree that BT is a little wonky and should be a high priority for Moto to fix. I don't really agree that Motorola's lawyers and developers need to be all that worried about legal problems though... That is a little extreme.
[X 2014 General] gammite:
no issues with my x on a 2014 chrysler 300.
[X 2014 General] tebower:
Yes, I agree that this post is somewhat overstated. I certainly don't feel like my safety is at risk due to Bluetooth issues. Are you kidding? Then disconnect it entirely.

Like the poster above with the Chrysler, I have had minimal issues with my phone connecting to the Ford Sync system since the update. I get **maybe** one or two popping sounds in my connection every week. After that, it continues as normal. This I can deal with. The Moto X on Lollipop is still a far superior user experience compared to other software available from Samsung, LG, Apple, and others.
[X 2014 General] kylepsp:
A bit over the top but yes, the bugs are very annoying and should be an easy fix. We should be writing this on a bug report somewhere where moto will see it

Hi all,

I have increased the internal memory of my GT-S5830B with this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2082465) and all works fine.

Later I create a swap file in the SD Card with this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2376735) and it works too.

But, when the Swap File is active the app's instaled by Google Play can't be loaded, and I can't install others or do anything with SD Card, is the similar reason when the phone is plugged to a PC as a Mass Storage.

Anyone know if this situation have a solution? Maybe I need to use a Swap partion and not a Swap file?

Thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehsanotaku:
assuming you are using Samsung Galaxy s5830 i/B/M/C/5839 i < rooted> best solution to remove all apk + lib+dex+data <in pro version> is installing link2sd, which does not require all of hardship you went through in order to increase your internal memory mate.

Link2SD moves apk + dex + lib files of the application to the second partition and creates symbolic links in the original locations on internal storage.

application by itself does not create necessary partitions though, you need some third party apps to accomplish it or CWM recovery can perform it ,, check this post for some comprehensive guideline ,, also you may need to check the Developer's topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=919326 for further reassurances
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SchiavoR:
But I think my problem is not with the method utilized to increase the internal memory, it working very good and I can use all apps installed on sd-ext partition including when the phone is connected to PC as Mass Storage.

Any comment about the Swap file configuration?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SchiavoR:
I found the problem, its occurs when I activate the Swap file during boot, if I start it after the boot all the apps works.

I think it can be related with the script used to activate the Swap file, see below.

#!/system/bin/sh

su

BUSYBOX=/sbin/busybox

$BUSYBOX mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard

chmod 777 /sdcard/swapfile

$BUSYBOX swapon /sdcard/swapfile

Maybe I need to use a Swap partition if I want to mount the Swap during boot process?

That attached images show all the thinks running, increased internal memory and swap file.
