[APP] Caller screen replacement - BIG! caller ID

I just have to say, this looks really nice, the interface is super clean. I paid for the only other full screen caller ID app I saw on the market months ago. This one looks very promising. And the price is so much better. I'm going to test out the 5 person max demo for a week and if it works out I'll definitely be buying it.

I have a suggestion for a feature, have it to where it'll show the name and/or number only for people not in your contacts. When I get a call from a contact I don't need to see either because the picture. But right now if I have both name & number display turned off all I see is the default contact pic I selected.
 
Yeah I agree. The mute button still don't work but I guess now with the option to use the stock dialpad that's an alternative.
 
The update with 2 new themes has arrived! :)

We also added customization (you can move buttons as you like), and slider option.


Free keys are no more. Thanks for your emails :)
 
GREAT APP! I have 1 question and 1 suggestion. The question, I have my land line forward to my cell, to answer I have to press 1 on my cell. BIG!'s dialer is the only one I can get to come up, but when I press 1 it doesn't do anything. I'm running 2.3.3

My suggestion would be the ability to set a default picture for unknown callers and/or ones in your address book you don't set an image for.
 
hi OP,

just installed trial on my desire running miui 1.9.23 and it didnt launch when i received a call :( shame - app is turned on etc and contact selected

btw: would be cool if it picked out normal contact pics imo

cheers

Hey Buddy!
Great work on your app, but the demo version dosent work properly, that makes it hard for people to judge weather to buy it or not.
1.
I tried putting wallpaper for 4 of my contacts but only 1 of them shows full screen, for others it dosent, prolly coz of the country code.

2.
I tried putting default wallpaper but it dosent appear on random calls, dono if its coz its a demo version or coz its a bug.

3. One IMP. hint i got for you guys.
I am not that into android SDK but i picked up something from an app named "TouchPal Dialer". When i make a call with this disler app, i get a small vibration when the call connects , maybe you can use this method to embed a timer in your app. (timer can use the same method get to check when call connects.)

Thanks for da app and i hope my tip was of some use.........cheers

MIUI doesn't allow our app to work properly. We've sent its devs information about this but for now we have no answer.

Dialpad doesn't work on some devices. You can enable stock dialpad in settings.

My suggestion would be the ability to set a default picture for unknown callers and/or ones in your address book you don't set an image for.

Done! :)

We've added the Korean, Russian, Portuguese, French, and Ukrainian languages recently.


edit:

You can now create your own theme from scratch!
If you're familiar with Eclipse, see BIG! caller ID theme template for details. Don't forget to publish it in Android Market! :)
 
Since installing premium version of Big! Caller ID I noticed that when I get a call while my screen is locked, I have to swipe, then put in my password before I can answer the call. With the stock version, I could just swipe to answer the call, even while the phone was still locked. I'm running 2.3.4 on a MoPho. Any ways to fix this problem? It's an issue because I've missed calls having to go through all of the motions just to answer.

Also, the Big! Caller ID doesn't always open when I get incoming calls. It has nothing to do with the contact, because I get calls from the same person and sometimes app opens and sometime it defaults to stock. Any suggestions here. Other than that it works pretty good for me. Some minor issues with the speakerphone coming on when I'm trying to place the phone next to my ear, but other than that no issues.

Thanks,
S
 
I dont know if this is where I go do support but I just installed this app and when I click the sync with facebook, it opens facebook for like 2 seconds then closes and a I see a brief unreadable message. Any thoughts?
 
I have a question, I recently installed the MIUI rom on my EVO 4g, I reinstalled this program and when I go to add a picture on my SD card to a contact I get an "error while getting file path" message. I've tried pictures in multiple directories and even on my SD's root.

I'm guessing this problem's coming from MIUI, but would anyone know of a work around?

thanks
 
Found this yesterday and was instantly sucked in by it so I bought it straight away and I've got a few issues...

1) The app doesn't show up in my app drawer any more meaning I have to open the market link and tap 'open' to change any settings etc... really annoying!

2) The screen still doesn't lock when I put the phone to my ear meaning that my ear touches the speaker icon and my calls are on speaker when I didn't want them to be... (I've sort-of worked around this by moving the caller name banner up a little bit and tucking the speaker icon down by the hang-up button :))

3) If I select around five or six contacts, then it opens quite quickly after a call - I understand that this is an app and not a call screen replacement so the default screen will always show for a few seconds, but if I select all my contacts to use the app (only ~20) then it just doesn't show at all)

Yes, I've got the last update v1.8.1 and yes, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling (and I did re-enter my validation key after reinstalling)

Brilliant app, but these little issues make it quite annoying to use
 
I'm running the 4.0.4 ICS Note i717 leak rom and this doesn't work at all. The Play description says 4.0. Is there something I need to do to get it working with ICS?
