Force Android phone to play incoming call alert so...

Hi,
I just recently started using Skype on both my desktop and cell.  I am using a Samsung S3 and LG Tone.  One problem that I am having is missing calls when in the following situation: 
1. Not at PC. 
2. Bluetooth device turn on.
3. Not on a call / not listening to Bluetooth device (LG Tone). 
I was thrilled with the exceptional standby battery life of the LG Tone (days) but one downside has been that now I am overriding the Android's audio output when I'm not on a call.  If there is a way to change this in Android itself please let me know.  I've tried changing the Bluetooth settings to turn off Media audio but that has not helped... here is how things work: 
Bluetooth Media audio on: 
 - incoming call notification is audible on Bluetooth 
 - incoming call notification is not audible on phone
Bluetooth Media audio off:
 - incoming call notification is not audible on Bluetooth or phone
Ideally I'd like the phone to play the Skype notification sound and have the headset "ring" since this causes the headset to vibrate as well.
Thanks,
Dave

Settings>Phone>Call Waiting...If you turn this to "off", the calls will go straight to voicemail.

  • How can I capture phone numbers of incoming calls?

    I want to capture the phone numbers of incoming calls. There seems to be know way to even copy and paste them. I know the must be a simple solution, what is it?

    You can go to Phone>Recent  - That will display your call history
    To capture this you can Press the home button and the power button on your device  - just a click -and it will flash and if you check your camera roll it will have a screen shot.

    Thank you soooo much----this was a very helpful message. Iphone case was covering the mute button but your post inspired us to keep searching and successfully switch it from mute.

  • I was sitting here and my phone randomly said incoming call from my friend that is an iphone user. I answered it and nothing was there. He texted me the screen shot on his phone that said I called him, but it showed on my phone as an incoming call. Why?

  • AC - change incoming call alert wav files

    Hi,
    With CCM4.1(3)sr3a I need to change the audible alerts that AC plays when an incoming call arrives.
    I've found the source files on each attendants PC (C:\Program Files\Cisco\Call Manager Attendant Console\audio), copied in a replacement & renamed it to Cisco's original file name.
    However, on startup AC is copying the original files back from CCM.
    If I changed the files on CCM then this would solve my problem but I can't find them.
    How can I change the audio file source ?
    Any help appreciated,
    Paul.

  • Apple USB Modem - incoming call alert

    I access dial up through an Apple USB Modem. In the Modem tab of Network Preferences, I've asked my MacBook to "Notify me of incoming calls while connected to the Internet," by playing "alert sound when receiving a call." Yet nothing happens when I receive an incoming call: the calling line hears a busy signal, but no alerts, no messages, no internet interruption occurs on my MacBook.
    What am I missing? Do I need a certain type of service on my incoming phone line to make the alert work? (Because I use this line for internet only, I have no Caller ID, etc., on it.) Or should I change my MacBook settings in some way?
    Any advice would be much appreciated. Many thanks.

    You would have to subscribe to a call-waiting service from your telephone company on that line for the feature to work.
    However, if you use that line for internet only, would you be expecting voice calls on that line?

  • Iphone 4S; Phone & audio piece; Incoming calls are NOT routed automatically??

    When I dial out; no problem the calls automatically goes through ear pice.
    When I get incomming calls the call goes to phone, not even to the speaker in in the phone. So I have to
    1.Slide  the bar    (then first realizing (again) dam: I hear nothing)
    2. Choose the box for speaker options
    3. Choose my blue ant piece..
    By then some callers think I am not picking up or there is somthing wrong..!
    My 3 colleaguers have same phone and no such problems. We are at a loss and I could not find reply in community groups. There was note about Iphone 5 and  not correcting to Car speaker automatically. This was noted as a softwre issue Apple might address in next version. But since my colleagues do not have problem with their Iphone it must be either my settings or a weird fault with my phone.
    One of my collegues have same ear pice as me, so the issueis not that either.
    Is there some weird setting I need to fix to correct the problem?
    Thank you

    Are you able to make calls? I would try a couple different things -
    1. Try doing a double hard reset - Press and hold home button and the sleep wake button at the same time until the screen displays the slide to shut down red button. Continue pressing and holding both the buttons until the screen goes black and then the apple logo flashes up. Continue pressing and holding both the home and sleep wake button beyond this point until the screen goes black again. At this point, let go of the home button and press once the sleep wake button as you would to start your phone. See if this double hard reset helps clear out any cache.
    2. If this fails, I would try restoring the phone as a new phone in iTunes. Backup your phone before this so that you dont lose your contacts, etc. You can do a couple test calls once the firmware is installed before setting up the phone, data, apps, etc. If it looks good, try restoring your phone from an earlier backup.
    If everything fails, call AppleCare or see a Genius in the store.

  • How to change the setting on Iphone to have more call history, i see only 1 week of call history all other android phones support atleast month call history.

    Hello all,
    I need to see more call history on iphone 5 earlier modes were atleast storing  1 month of history but now i am very much looking for more call history, where the call history should be available as a option where user can set when he needs 15 days history some people needs all call history it shoul dhave all call history, this might also be a draw back for apple as android or other phones has much longer call history, hope the ISO 7. would address this and fix to have more call history, Would Apple be considering the call history, if any one know how to configure if atall it is available in iphone please post your comments here.
    it would be really helpful for some many users like me.
    Thanks
    Sreenath

    I archive my call logs using PhoneView (Mac). They are saved in a nice PDF (or text if I wanted) which I then store in Evernote so that it's availble on all my devices. I could also use iBooks or any other PDF app to view them. If you have a PC, look at TouchCopy.

  • Another problem - phone cuts off incoming calls

    Has anyone else had issues since upgrading to iOS4 or at any other time with incoming calls being cut off just a second or so after the phone starts ringing? I've had this happen twice to me today although I've never had the problem before. I know there've been issues with 3GS handsets cutting off calls since the upgrade but I've not seen it mentioned with regards to the 3G. Anyone else experienced this at all?

    I'm sorry for misunderstanding you, but you said she went to the Apple store and the third time she bought a new phone. Did the new phone work then? Is the issue still persisting on the old device? That's where I'm confused. Did she get the device replaced or just buy a new phone and the problem is still happening on the old device.

  • My phone doesnt show incoming call and it doesnt ring. Further the iphone4 is extremely slow with opening whats app, camera and photos or while in the program it just closets. Who can advice me what to do??? Otherwise this phone will be changed soon

    My phone doest ring with incoming calls, but it also doesnt show someone is calling. I only see it, when i get the txt of missed calls.
    Further the phone is extremely slow with opening whats app, emails, photos, camera and it closets the programs while using it.
    I have many people around me with iPhone having the same complaints, but nothing has changed yet.

  • Incoming call alert

    Is there a way to make incoming calls show as a banner instead of interrupting what I'm doing on the phone? Sometimes I don't want to answer or answer right away, and would rather not reject the call.

  • Cisco IP phones with only incoming calls not outgoing calls

    The problem in one of our client place where we implemented the Cisco IPT using Cisco Callmanager 4.1 running on MCS 7800 server with the IP phones being used over there are 7940G, 7912G. is that sometimes the phones are unable to call outside but they can receive calls from outside. When on the Cisco CallManager Administration web console reset the gateway (by going to Devices> Gateway, then check the box next to the gateway and click reset) the outgoing calls can be performed again.
    Where will the problem be either in callmanager or the voice gateway router 1760?
    Please let us know the solutions to this issues asap.
    Thanks
    swamy

    I would check the IOS version you are running, first off, and use Bug Tool or downloads to see if there are VOIP issues with the Feature Set or Train you are using. I know from the past, I personally had MANY problems with the 1760 router platform and had to try several IOS Ts to find one that worked consistently. The other thing you ought to look at is whether it is an MGCP or H.323 gateway. I would suggest redeploying as an H.323, as it can be a bit more manageable. The difference is:
    MGCP => CallManager controls dial plan with Part / CSSs
    H.323 => the router control dial plan with dial peers in IOS
