Do any ppcpe pros know of a solution that can log all incoming calls either to a third party app, or better yet, a portion of the PIM?
PInformant seems to have this capability (journaling), but only for outgoing calls, and only if dialed directly from PI.

Hi, I use xdandroid with Oct 20th kernel. What I'm intended to do is to avoid incoming calls being interrupted during testing new builds, by setting up call forwarding from WM6, before launching xdandroid and test phone calls, then cancel call forwarding in xdandroid after then.
What I found is if I dial ##21# (the GSM command for cancelling call forwarding), xdandroid tells me "Cal forwarding Erasure was successful", but in fact calls are still being forwarded.
I did also looked in settings -> call settings -> call forwarding. I can cancel call forwarding from there but setting one up doesn't seems to work.
Does anyone notices this?
I would just cancel call forwarding when you get back to WinMo. That makes the most sense anyways, what if someone tries to call you in Android or while your rebooting to WinMo...? Seems kinda silly to me.
I don't think forwarding works in Android, for the record. If it does, there was another guy asking about it at Connect-UTB that would like to know how to use it
Basically I want it to take over the dialer and texting portion. I may be confused, but I could have sworn I sworn I say it being able to do these things. Also, I heard you can use GV to take over your regular voice plan? Or is that Groove IP? Idk

Google Voice doesn't work as a VoIP service alone. It works as a "forwarding" number to your normal cell #. It costs you minutes. You can configure the Google Voice app in a way that when you dial a number from the default dialer, it will either ask you which # to use, or just use your GV# every time. Texts will be received in the Google Voice app, but you can configure it to forward them to the Messages app, also. If you want a recommendation, I'd say just use the Google Voice app for SMS and don't bother with forwarding.
GrooVe IP (and Talktatone, SIP clients, etc.) all work as VoIP services to intercept incoming Google Voice calls that are forwarded to Google Chat (Google Talk). Incoming calls to your GV# are forwarded to Google Chat (instead of your carrier #), then the app picks them up and routes it to your phone to take the VoIP call (with no minutes cost). GrooVe IP integrates into the dialer really well, but the quality wasn't great or consistent, which is the case with most VoIP calls.
In Google Voice, go to settings -> Making calls -> Use Google Voice to make all calls.
This will "hijack" all calls made from your phone. What happens is when you make a call, it will actually call some random number Google made up specifically for you, then it will get forwarded to the number you actually wanted to dial.
This will use minutes, as mentioned.
As for texts, google voice cannot "hijack" the same way it can for phone calls. I'm guessing it's a compromise google made with carriers to not steal money away from them. You can still receive texts through google voice, but not through the native Messenger app.

This, but you can choose what your Google Voice number is. Its only randomly assigned if you tell it to be. For example when creating Google Voice, I got a GV# that's the same 7-digit # as my carrier one, but with a different area code. Simple to remember.

You can have your GV App receive messages then put them in the Messenger app if you'd like. Its messier though, as it assigns a random # to each contact. I'd say just use the GV App for your SMS.
Yeah, what I meant by random number was that when calling out, it will actually call a Google associated number (which seems random to me) before forwarding it with your GV# as the caller id. If you look at your bill, it will be all to the same number.
If you use call rejection to reject everyone who's not on your contact list, do the rejected callers still get to leave voice mail for you?
Same question for call blocking: if you block incoming-call notifications for everyone who's not on your contact list, can they still leave voice mail?

Rejected callers will get dumped straight to your voice mail. I am not certain on the 2nd part of your question.
I warn against rejecting callers. I did it to someone and now I cannot un-reject them. They don't show as rejected but their calls still dump straight to VM. Tried re-rejecting and un-rejecting and still straight to VM.
Here's the issue: I have a N7 2013 LTE which I've unlocked/rooted. I've enabled SMS and installed the Google Dialer. Everything works well; I can send/receive SIP calls via the dialer and I can even answer calls with my Bluetooth headset because the SIP calls received by the Google dialer are perceived as actual phone calls by Android.
This falls apart when I want to use a third-party SIP/VoIP app. I can answer native SIP calls with my Bluetooth headset (a double-tap on the headset for the Jawbone ERA), but can't do so with a third-party app. I'm guessing that's because calls answered by the Google dialer are seen as real phone calls whereas those answered by a third-party app are media events, so the Bluetooth headset isn't notified of an incoming call. This even happens with CSipSimple set to integrate with the native dialer.
CSipSimple is a great app, but it suffers the fate of any app when left in memory too long: it gets kicked out. I can watch the SIP registration status at my SIP provider's website while CSipSimple is running in the background. CSipSimple stays registered for a while, then the status switches to disconnected. If I disable CSipSimple, the native dialer registers with my SIP provider and stays registered.
Can anyone confirm or deny any of this? Is there a way to have a third-party SIP/VoIP app act like the Google dialer? Or am I stuck with the native dialer?
Huh. Currently 117 views and nobody has an answer.
The Google dialer is fine, albeit a bit ugly, but it doesn't do landscape amongst other things. It would be great if I could replace it with CSipSimple or one of the many other SIP apps out there. I know I can use any app I like, but the issues in my first post preclude me from doing that. The native dialer stays registered with my SIP provider at all times. It also works well with my Bluetooth headset, allowing me to answer calls without having to touch my N7.
Anyone?
I have my eSIM configured in my Pixel Watch LTE, and all is working fine so far. However, from time to time I'd look to have my little son wear the watch, when he is out and about alone by himself, so he can call me in case he gets lost, or I can find his location. Generally, this works, but the problem is that the watch also rings when I receive calls: The eSIM is a MultiSIM of my Vodafone contract, so it has the same number as mine in my main phone. Of course I don't want my son to receive my phone calls on the watch.
Is there any way of disabling incoming phone calls, or the the notifications / vibrations of them? Or, ideally, disabling the signaling of any incoming call except if it comes from a certain number (like my own landline)?

I haven't received the watch yet, but it should have Do Not Disturb settings which you should be able to configure as you wish. For instance, your son could receive calls from Starred contacts only, while all the others are blocked.
Edit: See here
" Do Not Disturb: Turn off all notifications and silence incoming calls. Press and hold to customize exceptions for priority and repeat callers, alarms, and media sounds. "
That's the perfect solution, thank you very much!
