I'm looking for a blocker for my gf. I have tried 5-6 different ones that don't work. Anyone got one that works

When someone calls press menu then add to blacklist

Yep, the two best ones are made by the same company:
Root Call Blocker (for general use):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta
Call Master (for advanced users):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist
These are the only blockers that completely block everything without turning the screen on. Need to be rooted though.
works fine the root call

Hello
In my SGS there was an option in the call menu where you could block someone just writing the person's phone number but I cant seem to find this option in RAZR? I am running stock 2.3.6. Any help?
Or do I need to use 3rd party app?
I miss that feature that my old Samsung Vibrant had.
I currently use Extreme Call Blocker. Its a great app and has a lot of options.

Great to hear, I will using some app until ICS arrives, thanks!
Others have pretty much covered it. But need be in your Verizon account settings you can also add numbers to blacklist straight through vzw. The party trying to call you will get a blocked message. It also blocks them from texting you too.

True story. I was going to post this earlier. The only limitation to this is that there is a time limit using this method. I think it only works for 30 days (maybe 90, I don't recall), then you have to set up the number(s) you want blocked again.

You can also only block 5 numbers through VZW's website. I copied and pasted this from VZW.
"You can block calls and message from up to 5 phone numbers at no charge.
Expiration. Blocks expire after 90 days. Be sure to reapply the block if you wish to continue the service restriction. To permanently block numbers, subscribe to Usage Controls*.
Limitations. You cannot block numbers within your account or non-10 digit numbers such as 911, 411 or #MIN (checks minutes used).
Unblocking. To unblock a number, highlight and delete the number, then click "Submit"."
trying this app
Iblacklist
You can use blocking call apps
There are many blocking call apps ob the store, such as WhosCall, Mr Number, Call Blocker and so on.
The Mr Number is great for use since its UI is friendly, but it would automatically upload your phone number. I don't like this kind of privacy action.
So I mostly use WhosCall, it could block the sms, call, and it could help me search the number not in my contact.
Hope these information can help you
Root call blocker use alt block, hands down best app on market. I paid for it!

u first must have it as a contact. find the contact press the menu button and select drop calls from this number. it has it on ics but i am sure that it had it on gb. the point is that u must have that number as a contact and u dont need any app to drop its calls
Use avast firewall for blocking sms/mms n calls.

I have used until now.. and I loved both. The Call Blocker is simply blocking calls and sms from certain number.
The Sanity, beyond blocking calls, it can record them either! Not worked on my Droid Razr, but worked on the Galaxys

I installed China JB and it has a system application called Firewall, you can use it to block calls.
Did you know that you can add MUTE RING TONE application in extreme blocker.Beacuse call the app says to take the first ring-tone that is MUTE but-not, phone rings when a call is blocked number. Or that there are ways to insert a mute tone ring manually.
What a silly solution. Just use Root Call Blocker.
Hi everyone, I'm currently unlocked and running the latest CM9 by jokersax. I usually set my phone to silent overnight, but I need to find a way to have a certain number always ring, regardless of the silent setting. I've tried a few market apps like SemiSilent and Selective Silence but they don't work. I don't know if it's the phone or ICS causing them not to work. Does anyone know of a way I can accomplish this? Thanks!

I use Tasker, but it's got a hell of a learning curve. However, you can set it up so if a call comes through from a specific contact it will temporarily turn the ringer volume up, then turn it back down. If you're genuinely interested, I can help you out setting up a Tasker profile to do that. Otherwise, not sure what else does what you want.

Night ringer... its in the app store works great you can set up to 5 different contacts and it will also let those contacts texts to you come thru also if you want.
Please try Automateit
Try AutomateIt available on google play and customize it as per your requirement.
Select a silent ringtone as default then just edit the contact you want to ring loud with another ringtone, done.
Hello.
I'm using a German version of the Galaxy S3 with stock 4.1.1 ROM.
I own it since few days, coming from iPhones and I'm still learning how to use it.
One very useful thing I've found is the blocking mode. I use it at night to stop notifications sound and to permit only my family calls to go through.
Whatsapp notifications, though, are still coming through and I'm forced to manually reduce the notifications volume to zero.
Is it a bug or am I missing something?
I've tried setting the blocking mode with both time range and "always", but no differences at all.
Thanks.
I was woken up this morning by whatsapp messages, so if anyone has an answer it'd be appreciated.
I am having the same problem.. i think the problem is with whatsapp itself it must be a bug as when u go to notification settings the "ringer" whats comes up as default tone not the notification tone.
hope this get resolved quick! i have emailed whatsapp but got standard email template... delete app ... reboot re install ..etc
No one has a solution?
I have the same problem but a month or two before it did worked. I guess that maybe an update of whatsapp has disabled this. It very annoying waking up because of that horrible whatsapp noise.
Update
Just installed JB 4.1.2 and the problem is still there.
So it seems to be a Whatsapp problem, and it's a very stupid management of the notifications.
The notifications should be managed by the system and if the system says "shut up" ALL notifications should comply.
For me this is a point in favor of iOS.
P.S.: not a fan boy of course. I own both devices and it's normal I compare them.
WhatsApp uses a different method to sounf notificiations, this is why it can sound notifications even playing music (other apps would mute/pause the music for the notification)
I guess someonr could patch WhatsApp, my smali knowledge isn't that good to do it myself.

I understand, but if Google implements a kind of "do not disturb" mode it should know that some apps can use music as notification sound and block that too...
Problem lies with whatsapp. I did mail them about it, no response :/ m forced to put my phone on silent always :/

[SOLUTION] Blocking Mode WhatsApp Sounds
First of all, I do know that this is a fairly old thread, HOWEVER, it is still the first result on google for "blocking mode whatsapp", so i figure this is where people look. So i hope you will forgive me.
I have found a solution to the very annoying problem which many people seem to suffer from.
I have found a way to include the whatsapp sounds under the android blocking mode.
You will need the LightFlow app, (which i believe is a must have app for the S3 anyways (OP said he uses a s3)).
after you got light flow:
1: In What's app:
- disable notification sounds for incoming messages(not in light flow, in whats app). set it to silent or disable at all
2: The go to light flow and:
- enable sound notifications for whats app
- set what ever notification sound you would like to have for whats app when blocking mode is NOT enabled
- under Sounds-->Volume control method-->tick "Android standard notification volume"
Now it you enable blocking mode, it also blocks what's app sounds and if blocking mode is disabled, everything is normal.
hope that helps....took me quite a while to figure it out.
edit: oh and i do not have any affiliation with the light flow app or their developers!!! i just used it for changing lights and came across the sound feature by chance!!!
its a shame. other blockers block it, why can't the native JB also do it?
furstrating. didn't want to install another software on the phone when the block mode works so well, except for whatsapp of course.
Does this exist with 4.2.2 as well?

Yeah, I've got a Nexus 4 on 4.2.2 and the issue is on that as well. It's a problem with the way whatsapp handles notifications, not the Android firmware version.
Thanks Tyler D for the solution, will be testing this later today.
I am experiencing the very same issue on my Samsung Galaxy S4 running 4.2.2.
Do you have any news? I tried to email whatsapp support a few days ago but I am still waiting their reply.

Hi everyone,
Anybody knows how to block certain numbers or SMS's from reaching in?
I've previously used Root Call Blocker Pro and it works fine but now that I've upgraded to CM10 JellyBean doesn't seem to work.
Any other recommendations?
Yeah I discovers the same problem today. I liked Root Call Blocker as well. I found play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=embware.phoneblocker "Call Blocker" seems to work quite well so far.
Go to phone app. At the dialer press the menu button. Choose call settings. Click on Auto reject and configure it to your preferences.
Even in the messaging app you can press the menu button on the main screen. Scroll all the way down and tick spam settings. Then register any number as spam.
See... Your work got done workout downloading any additional apps! Don't forget to hit thanks if I helped you!
Edit: oops I didn't see you were running cm10... I thought you had stock jelly bean. The above method may not work on cm10... :=/

Hey tekmad! Thanks! Works like a charm. Only thing that works so far in JB! Great software. Best part, it's absolutely free
JJ_95nano yeah its a Samsung only feature doesn't exist on any asop/aokp
Sorry for thread revival but this was a first search result in Google so I thought I'd update. JJ_95nano's method works fine in the latest CM (I am using Nexus 4).
Thanks
Hi all,
There is no option in viber settings, to disable the vibration. Is there any chance? To many people's texting me and killing my battery..

By reading this it seems there is no options to turn off vibration http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26407631&postcount=37

I would check the play store for a app that would disable it, most likely there is.
