Can anybody tell me where I find a phone application like the black list on the smart phones. This program prevents unwanted numbers from reaching you. Somebody should have distributed my number as his and I get lots of stray calls asking for a name I have never heard of and this usually happens 2 to 3 AM. I want to block those numbers so they never call me again.
Hi Dr.
there is a free s/w called CallerFirewall at http://www.ce4arab.com and I believe there is a link for it in this forum.
sorry

Hi, I want to know is there any software we can use to ignore incoming calls from contacts in certain categories? I use only 1 number for business and personal things, it would be very useful for me if I can auto-ignore calls from Business category after business hours
Thanks folks...
Just wanted to add to the question. I was using Nokia3650 previously and it came with a utility named "BlackList". You could put in contacts in the blacklist and they woudl always get a message of "The number your dialling is not responding at the moment". Is there any such utility available for the XDA :? ?
I would love to have such a utility.........If anyone came accross it, PLEASE post it
Just set that business number to other short "beep" ringtone and u won't get any attention when te call comes in.
hello
is there already a blacklistprogram?
thx
kevin

Of course there is such a program. It is called Smart Filter(commercial unluckily). I will post it tomorrow (my network is a bit... down... so I'm writing from my MDA! ). Any way, if you don't wanna wait for me to post it - try google!

Isn't this CallerFirewall in Chineeze?
SmartFilter is good.
CallerFirewall
Yes, but it has been translated to English (look further down in the same thread)
CallerFirewall rocks. It's ugly to look at, you need to soft-reset your phone sometimes to get blocked callers added properly, but it's very effective and free. Even though it's clunky to use, it's not like you need to be worried about using this program every day, right?
Hi everybody,
I'm using CallerFirewall for some time now and it works great, no problems so far. But u can't block callers by category, u can do it only individually.
Greets all,
I used the search bar first because I assumed someone had already addressed this, but found nothing so it is either so obvious so I am stupid not knowing. I have started getting a red star with a white outline on my notification bar and they are stupid ads. I have the native ad block on and no ad app but they still happen every day now. I do not get that on my DINC so I wonder why on my TB ??? If the BAMF team is responsible for them then I am totally cool with it because they are superb beings and deserve revenue from ads if they get it, but if some bastard has found a way to spam my device I would like to know it and do somthing about it because if I want adverts then I will turn on the TV or open up an app where they belong. Ads in apps are fine because they generate revenue for coders and thats ok, but I will be darned if someone is going to force them on me for no reason. Anyone know where they are comming from and how to kill them ????
Thanks ;-)

Yeah, that's not a BAMF feature. I'd upgrade to 1.7, and make sure you clear cache and do a clean install through recovery, if I were you. Should take care of any quirks.
The question remains
So does anyone know who is spamming the operating system and how ???? Thats like working on a spreadsheet and having commercials pop up in the middle of it, totally unacceptable. As I said before, ads on apps are ok because thats how they generate revenue and are deserving, but nobody has the right to spam me just for useing the phone. I take the same tack with telemarketers as well, have cussed many out with the same reasoning. Just because I have a phone is no reason for them to just be able to pester me.

use busybox on the command line with the command netstat and look through the ip addresses/hostnames to see which one it is, then block it in the /etc/hosts file.
http://man.cx/netstat
That or start removing the free apps you use
It's part of a new scheme by advertisers called AirPush. This allows an app to send advertising through notifications. Check google for more information because I can't post a link to their website.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Think it is fixed but will see
I started reading about airpush and looked with root explorer for any file with airpush references and found that the Kernel Manager Lite program in BAMF has a file that makes mention of it so I have uninstalled that app as I do not use it anyway, lets see what will happen. I read a lot about the airpush model and those who defend it, but I still say that nobody has the right to force me to see ads if I am not on their app, and I will do whatever it takes to stop it, period !
ok this is my first thread yay! i know. But i think i have an app that is making phone calls from my number but its not showing up on my call log but it shows up on my bill and the number is 8505830466. i tried calling it and it asks me what number i would like to dial. i would love to know what i should do! should i wipe everything and reinstall the rom or will they still have the info to keep making the calls? or call verizon and have them block it? thanks for any help that is given!
here's it on my bill
Google search shows some people saying its a political party #. Just sign into verizonwireless.com and block it. Solved.
thank you so much! ill try it out
Yes, agreed...mostly. I saw the same Google results. However, noted that my GV# is almost identical to this mystical 850#. I'm wondering if it's related buggishness (?!?). If so, wonder where I'll find more about it. Also, I recall someone else's input that the call /had/ been identified and related to GV, by their carrier (seems to me it was VZW). And furthermore, the rep allegedly stated that the policy was that there were no billable minutes for the number. Here is the indirect link to one of the more helpful insights I've found, IMHO; from the Google Groups: http[://]goo.gl[/]d9JO6 Good luck in your resolution(s).
~:sDs:~
[Edit]
When I spoke to VZW Customer Service yesterday [/not/ IT Support], the rep mentioned that the feature, "Call Blocking," was part of a $4.99 monthly package called "Usage Control," or something similar. ~:sDs:~
Dear All
I'm sure everybody had this already that he got calls from unwanted numbers, and they don't stop.
I usually use blacklist pro (bought version) with android 4.1.1 it doesn't work currently, probably it has something to do with pdroid, i'm using a cyanogen rom.
Anyway..
So far i'm more intrested in call forwarding instead of blocking.
I am locking for an app which can forward this annoying caller to another number, or all numbers which are not in my contact list.
so far i couldn't find an app doing exactly this what I wanted to.
(It does not matter if the forward counts on my own phone bill, because i've got flat anyway...)
so does someone know an app for this?
would this anyway technicaly be possible?

well all those so called 'Call blocking or forwarding' apps available on stores are not compatible enough to wrk efficiently with JB based roms, due to lack of upgradation of those apps from there developer's
so ICS based roms r better for ur issue, since they can support those apps

I try staying nice and calm but it's hard not getting mad..
So listen, I don't post stupid questions in a form because i'm lazy or i can't use google. In reality i've been searching such an app which exactly supports my needs for few hours, i've also tested few apps, but sadly my search was unsuccessfull.
Considering that the world is full of noobs posting sometimes unhappy,not well explained or just unintelligent posts I can partially understand your replies.. PARTIALLY!
But this is a Question and Answers forum and you do NOT have to write me "use google there are lot of apps and search the one for your needs"
If you CAN'T give a competent answer do not reply!
If you do not understand what exactly has been requested, read the topic until you do and then reply only if your answer is competent!
Now please do no more post reply on this thread you're not hitting the topic anymore and you can't help further!!
If somebody knows an App which exactly fullfills my needs, feel free to post it..
@ OP
Have you found such an app? I am also in search.

Same here @ OP
Would really appreciate a response.
The OP's outrage at being told to use Google is just as hilarious as it was almost two years ago.
I just want to be able to forward calls from specific contacts (not send to voicemail). I currently have all undesired callers automatically hung up on.
Hi frnd,
I found out a method which works perfectly for me....Hope this will be useful for u as well.
first add the particular number from which u don't want to receive calls to a call blocking list app.( i used cm security app)
second, go to your call settings, and enable 'call forward when busy' to your any other number or to which number u want the calls to forward
That's It...now if the blocked number called u, it will get hang up and automatically redirected to another number..

My carrier (MTN in Africa) sends an amazing amount of spam sms messages from several new numbers each month, so you try to block as many as you can and they make more next month. However, recently they've starting sending other messages, and I can't figure out how, so I can't figure out how to block them.
I had read a thread in the past suggesting it could be an emergency alert. I had shut them off, but just now when I went to confirm, they were turned back on - so now I shut them off again and will see if the messages stop.
If not an emergency alert, any other guesses as to how this message is arriving?
It seems like amazingly bad form to use an emergency alert platform meant for public safety to advertise a promo, if that is what they're doing.

As long as you are on their network there is nothing that you will be able to do to stop it. I would. Look into the spamming laws in your country.

There has to be some way to stop it. That's why I'm trying to figure out first which kind of message it is. Is your bet on emergency alert?
