hi guys,
i'm looking for an call blocker (i know there a maaaaannyyy of them). I already installed many of them and tried them, but no one does it, how i want to.
i'm sick of getting anonymous calls - so therefore i just want to block the anonymous calls.
important is the blocking procedure:
i don't want to just hang up the phone - because some people don't understand this. i also want to let the phone ring, when i can see a phone number - it doesn't matter, if i know the no. or not
i want to let them now, that they're been blocked, because of calling anonymous!
this could be designed in 2 ways:
1) forwarding anonymous numbers to the mailbox, so i can speak any text on the mailbox, that they're blocked cause of...
2) an app gets the call from anonymous and speaks: "you've been blocked because of..." and ends the call after speaking finished.
i'd prefer the second way, so i could also use my mailbox when my phone is turned off.
i hope u understand everything i tried to explain.
feel free to ask ;-)
regards

app called Mr. Number is free in the market. It can send calls like that to voicemail.

First make group, which group U like to send to voice mail, and whom you just want to block without voice mail
Now from your device go to - call setting - forward your call to voice mail 'when Busy' mode
Use Root call blocker
define setting, and select method of block 'reject' for one, whom U want to send to voice mail
for rest of u may select alt reject/ slow reject as per ur selection n performance on ur device.
e.g for annonymous call U can send to voice mail, b'coz no method can send SMS to private numbers
For rest you can select to auto responce with SMS
Use YouMail. They have an app in the market too.
thank you, i'll have a look for you mail...i just see that i can't download this in germany...may i'm gonna looking for an apk =)
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.

But how is it different?
Here's the idea. Add your Google Voice number to your Friend/Family list. Then use the Google Voice callback app (or use the Google Voice mobile website to set up a call). This will create a phone call that will start with your phone ringing. When you answer the phone, it will then begin ringing your other party. The genius here is that the incoming number on the caller ID is your Google Voice number. No minutes used.
Another bonus is that if you change phone companies, you don't have to change your Google Voice number. Assuming that is the number you are handing out to people, you'll always get calls. Add on to the list superior voicemail, and much better texting and it starts to really shine.
If I am diligent, I can go an entire month using minimal minutes. Since I am sharing minutes, this makes the other users on our plan very happy. =)
Does this help to answer your question?

It is also helpful for people who would like to split their work life from their non-work life. You can specify conditions to connect a call to a work phone or home phone between specific hours, or you can use one phone with multiple voicemail greetings for different groups of people (family, friends, work, etc.). It lets you screen/block calls from specific or unknown people and send them directly to voicemail. You just have a lot more control over things.
Good point! I had forgotten about those customizations! It is especially amusing to set up a custom voicemail greeting for one specific person. When John calls and it says, "Hey John, leave a message old man!"

Hi, I can call someone like galaxy tab 7"? I can compose the number and call?
Use the search button next time 'cause this question has been answered a billion times..
But the answer is no, you can't call with this tab (yet) because honeycomb doesn't support the phone functionality. The hardware is present in the tab but the software simply doesn't know how to utilize it. Maybe when our developers get the complete source code for honeycomb they can cook something up but for the time being we have to use a real mobile phone to call with.
Uhh, yes you can call with this tab. Install Google Voice, get a free number, buy Groove IP from the Market, 5 minutes later you will have a giant slab of a phone.

Post #3 is correct. Obviously you have to be on wifi, but you can very easily make phone calls with this tablet. I have done it many times. To the OP, if you need links or anything else please let us know.

Just as you can access US/UK video with a US IP address - you can get Google Voice with a US number.
Get a free (or rent) US voip number, register for google voice.

I can't speak for the Tab (I have one now), but I was able to use Skype with my Xoom when I had that tablet. It worked fine. Just need to download it and use a wi-fi connection.

I assume you are talking about using a VoIP provider? Is there any way of making FREE calls in to US numbers using Google Voice Callback or something similar? I've been unsuccessful in trying to make it work on mine (wifi only version)
I tried groove IP the call quality sucks no one can hear me but I am able to text from my Google voice number

This is correct ...and the first mod I did. Don't forget to click forward calls to gtalk in Gvoice. Scince my main number is ported, it rings and texts my tab and phone simultaneously. sweet. Only downside is wifi/teather required
Hello guys, im the developer of Root Call Blocker, an advanced call and SMS blocking app for rooted phones.
[url=http://www.phyrefile.com/image/view/dCjjYQHAuLydXnmg]

The app's home is here at XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051274
We have had multiple reports that blocking is not working sometimes on SE phones, so we need some nice people to do some testing.
You can use the Groups function of the Lite version to do the testing - it gives you almost everything youd want from the app anyway.
Please post comments here, but also use the "Write to us" dialog in settings.
I use the pro version of your app on the xperia play. 99% of the time it works. But some times blocked callers still get through, even if i set it to check all 11 digits.
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Next time a call does go through, please send a log. Also, does this happen in particular situations?
Have you had a chance to have a look at it?
It seems to be random. Although if someone rings and rings (like the angry girlfriend) some of the calls get through. I would send a log, but as sods law says. It hasnt happend since i made my last post

Hello I am a Spanish user and it is me first post in this Forum (excuse me english :S)
I am a proud owner of SE Xperia Arc and i buy your app from market few days ago.
For me all it´s fine for the moment but i test it this weekend and post the results in this forum.
This is a brilliant app!
Please stick to the topic - we are looking for concrete feedback!

For me, it works properly on the Xperia X10 running stock GB 2.3.
I wrote a post about it in your other thread!
Thanks you. It seems weve ironed out the SE problems we were having...
Hello, in about 10 days of testing Root Call Blocker PRO with me Arc, everything it´s ok. All the phone calls were blocked, if i detect any problem i post it here.
My Arc is running a Global Generic 2.3.3 with default kernel and compilation number 3.0.1.A.0.145.
P.D.: Sry for me english...
Excellent! I wonder if you would also test my app Prepay Widget? Its in My signature and also has some problems with SE stock roms!
No problem so farI bo
I bought it a month ago and no problem observed so far.
Excellent app!
Could you guys please test the following behavior for me:
1. How the app behaves when a blocked number attempts to connect during call waiting
2. How a blocked caller is handled when "Dont answer" is set as the reject method and you are currently on the phone and have not enabled blocked call vibrate notifications within the app itself
Dont forget to send logs with descriptions as well

I am using an X10 (but it's on stock 2.3.3, which is a very similar ROM to the Arc's)
and my experience is:
1. I have call waiting enabled on my network, so normally when someone calls while I am on the phone,
I get a beep and a notification on the screen allowing me to switch calls etc.
With RCB, when a blocked number calls while I am on a call,
I get no notification at all and the caller just hears the busy-tone (no call waiting).
2. Same as above. No notification, no vibration, nothing!
Excellent! But is your rom stock or cm-based?

I used this site for a while now but just realized they have an app which works just as good as the site. Unlimited free calls but the calls only last two minutes without a paid account. Two minutes is more than enough time to disguise your number on a call or to prank someone. It also lets you change your voice just like on the site. It will also record your calls so you can post your pranks to Facebook.
Someone has too much free tiime on their hands. lol
I used this app before its funny.. love to prank my wife at work.. lol
Nice find bro, just in really like this app.
I wish in this section of the forum they will put 50% apps threats and 50% themes. I am aware that xda is 98% for rooted guys, but I love to read threads about apps (non rooted) I assume that there is a bunch of people like me outthere.

Hi All,
So this idea is from a Sanyo flip phone I had way back in the day on Sprint. Granted, it's not the most useful thing in the world, but it would be nice for times when you want to know why someone is calling before you answer the phone.
There was an option where after 4 rings the phone would answer play a locally stored greeting, then record a message locally. Now, the helpful part to me was the fact that (unless I hit a button to mute it) it would play the outgoing and incoming messages where I could hear them. Being this was several years ago, it couldn't play it over Bluetooth, which with better technology on both the device and headset ends, that would be possible. (My Motorola Elite Flip, for example)
But I'd like to see it go a step further, and make this a full featured answering / auto response system.
Say you're driving, and someone calls you, you hear the message they're leaving via your hands-free (either in car or headset) and decide you need to take the call. Instead of pressing a button, just say "Answer it". Or say "Ignore it" and the answering system would mute, the phone audio would return to whatever you had on previously, be it music or sat nav.
Similarly, if someone sends you a text, you could have it read to you on TTS, then the app would ask "Would you like to reply?" You could say "No" and the app would send a canned message ("I'm driving. I'll get back to you soon." or something similar), or say "Yes" then dictate your message by speech recognition.
With this, an auto filter would also be handy. Numbers not in your phone book, or numbers you set as black list, are automatically sent to the screener, while other contacts are not.
I think greetings should also get some options as well, like the option to have different greetings for different callers, or different caller groups, and the option to either record your greeting, or write one to be played to callers by TTS.
I've seen apps that do bits and pieces of this idea, but nothing that consolidates them, and the apps I've tried don't work very well, and they don't have the right feel. This app should be something that would feel like it was included stock on Android. Clean, simple, and intuitive.
Anyone interested in a project?
Apologies for any typos. I can't find my reading glasses.

Nokia's are good devices, but Samsung is better. Wish I could get my hands on one app that can do what I'm looking for.
I'm looking for an app which will let me:
Say someone phones me. It rings a couple times then they have to say their name. I will then hear their message of their name and can choose to ignore it or answer it accordingly.
Is this what this app is?

I was recently looking for an app that did this but i cant find a decent one. I had this feature on my first color flip phone back in the day and i wondered why it wasnt available today. Its really useful. Im not a developer or id be heping you out with this project please let me know if you ever make it happen. Good luck.
I think with android limitations ...u cant play the greeting to the Caller. So i guess the app would be for rooted Phones only.
..Even with a rooted phones.. An app wont do the purpose. becoz u need to to do some framework changes.
I think u are going to need a MOD which can be flashed from recovery.
I am ready to donate for this app or Mod. or do it my self if someone guides me with some Links ..+1
