I've tried a whole bunch of different call blocking apps and they all block the same way. They let it ring once then send to voice mail.
Is that the way calls are blocked on the phone in general? Or is it just the apps?
I want something that can send the call straight to voice mail without ringing.

Also, i thot ics final also has an inbuilt blocker too but I havn't tried it.

So after downloading a whole bunch of different apps, I've come to realize that that's how the phone blocks calls. The only blacklist that works by directly sending the call to the voice mail is the one in the Call settings in the phone. I'm guessing that's the only one that works normally and apps work the way they do...
Is it just me or does it work like that on everyone's ace?

Do you mean that you got it to block without ringing ? I tried it and the caller still gets 1 ring before it goes to voicemail.
I'm looking for a reliable app, which works the other way around: Outgoing connection blocking.
1. Block outgoing calls to expensive phone services. (like 0900-xxx)
2. Block outgoing SMS. Before a SMS is sent, the user have to unlock this function by password input.
Is there something like that?
Normally you have to pay your mobile provider for this service.

I uninstalled it because I had network issues after I enabled it. Data connections kept dropping/becoming slow. I guess I'm still on the hunt for a call blocker.

Yeah, those sound like things an app can do. Well, the 2nd one at least. After all the different apps I've installed, I know I've seen it. Now I just can't remember which one xD
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.
Call master works perfectly on my phone ...it doesn't even wake up the fone while blocking calls and sms ..it rocks ..

I've been using Extreme Call Blocker for a while now, and it has never let me down until I switched over from the Evo to the Thunderbolt. The dev for this program said it could be the customized rom I'm on. I've tried several different roms and they all give me the same issue.
When an inbound call comes in it will hang up on the caller even though they are not in the block list. What's strange is when they call back a second time, they can usually get past the blocking program. I'd really like to have my call blocking program back. It's nice to be able to block calls by area code ie. 800,866, 877,888... I've seen a couple roms that have this function built into it but it's limited to just contacts within your address book, not to mention the lack of exporting the blocked numbers to the sd card.
Can anyone provide me a call blocking program that is working with the Thunderbolt? Thanks.
You need a better app, with more better stuff. Use Root Call Blocker - its not for the faint of heart but it works real good.
Have u try Mr. Number? It's free from marketplace.

Do you use it and does it work in blocking calls and SMS BEFORE ringing the phone?
Most call blocker just do hang up, so the phone still rings at least once.
I'm happy to report root call blocker has been working flawlessly.thanks
Often I'll be busy browsing or writing a message or whatever and I'll be interrupted by the full-screen incoming call display.
I'm looking for something that automatically puts incoming calls in the background, ideally just in the notification bar or something without interrupting the current app.
It's particularly annoying when I'm writing a message in Opera for example and an incoming call wipes the message because Opera doesn't have a proper restore state.
I don't want to block calls all together, just make them less intrusive.
I found a program called backgrounder, but it didn't seem to work, and from the youtube video I saw of it, a full screen still appears to pop up on an incoming call.

Haven't tried it, but recently discovered a nice app called itouch which simulates apple's assistive touch feature. If you press "home" or "recent apps" on it during an incoming call, it takes you out of the incoming call screen, and you can use your phone normally without having to cancel on the person calling one of its many great features.

i tryied smallcalls, it minimize the incoming call, but when you answer it goes full screen... it doesnt help me much since my point was to keep it minimized when i am in the car and am using my GPS...
any other idea? maybe there is a way using Tasker?
An other NEW android software which probably will be helpful too, is the 'Eclipse Hider'

i don know if anybody know this or this, if anybody already do please dont trash talk because there r a lot who dont, also the old sipdroid stuff that we cant get anymore... atleast for free... there is a app called viber on the market that lets u call over wifi.... u will need to install viber first then install another app called viber addon which is also free..... i have been able to make calls from the basement at my school where there is no signal at all... also i put my fone on airplane mode then turned wifi on without sprint's voice or data n was able to make calls.... im not taking any credit or trying to trash the forum here just thought some of u might get some use out of it.... enjoy...

Calls to non-viber through the addon are free for the first few calls but eventually you have to buy credits... just like you would with skype. The call quality isnt that great either.

Actually I think GrooveIP uses your Google voice account and makes calls via Data (wifi/3G/4G etc..). I'm not sure as I use Gvoice dial and it works many wonders for me in call quality and free calls to friends in the U.S.A.

I have used grooveip its okay. Better then nothing.
GrooveIP actually works quite well, so long as you leave the setting alone. I tried tinkering with it just to play around, and I ****ed it up so bad I had to uninstall it completely and then reinstall. I use it strictly on WIFI and I make it a point to ask people how the call quality is, and they have never had an issue, unless of course the wifi sucks...then you are assed out.
I went so far as to completely cancel my voicedata connection, if Optimum WIFI in enough locations and almost every retail shop having wifi now...no reason so pay anymore
obihai free andriod voip
plus you can use it at home and get free phone through google voice.
Is there Any app that let's you make Unlimited calls over WiFi to Non users of whatever the app?
I want to know if there is an app or any other way to block all incoming calls on my HTC Desire V phone. (Rooted and stock ROM)
My requirement is to block only "Incoming" calls from a list of pre-selected numbers but I would like to allow everything other then incoming calls.
I am using my phone's default way to reject all calls, but any time someone calls they hear a small ring and then operator message saying
"The Number You Have Called Is Busy...", So the caller understands that I am rejecting the call and expects a call back.
If the message after rejecting a call is like "Switch Off" or something else I am fine.
If somebody can help with "Incoming Call Barring" that will be great, because I spoke with my operator regarding incoming calls barring password but I was told that it is phone feature so I needed to contact handset manufacturer for this and I got the same answer from HTC that it is a network feature so I need to contact service provider.
Please Help.

Try doing a quick search in google play like: Call blocker
You should find some apps, would do it myself now but i'm in a bit of a hurry
Tried such kind of call rejecting apps from play... They just simply reject the call after a small ring; hence operator message is heared by caller saying no. is busy...

I am coming from the LG G2. I love the build quality of the M8. So far, my only ***** is the ability, or lack thereof, to block phone calls.
On the G2, if I went to Settings>Call, there was a call reject setting there. It had a check box to block unavailable numbers, and I could add any number I wanted. I also could use what I called a wildcard to block calls.
For example, I could add 1-800. Then there was an option under that to choose beginning, end, etc.
I could just enter the 1-800 and then choose beginning. So all calls beginning with 1-800 would be blocked. Just add 1-800, 1-877, 1-866, etc and get all the stupid telemarketers who "somehow" got my number to be blocked.
Is the functionality missing on the HTC? I had thought that this was a function of KitKat Android.
Would be nice to have back.

I have yet to receive my M8, but in the past i've tested out about 20 call blocking apps and found extreme call blocker to be the best one as it blocks the call BEFORE it even hits the device. Also it has options out the wazoo. I know we're not supposed to talk about paid apps here but i've spent a long time testing all those different apps out and if it's not baked into the M8, it'll save you lots of time testing. I'm in no way shape or form affiliated with extreme call blocker, just a long time, satisfied user

Doesn't actually happen before it hits the device, cause if it did there would be no way for call blocker to interact with said incoming call. There is a delay from when call hits device, and actually rings. This is where it intercepts the call. I use Root Call Blocker Pro. Many options also. I have it set to kill the call immediately. It can be setup to send it directlyto voice mail. Let it ring once, kill ect. Also will log, and block texts same way.

This is true but my phone never rings. It'll actually pick up for a sec and immediately disconnect without using a special ring tone designed to silence first ring. Not quite sure how root call blocker pro works as it may have come out after I discovered extreme call blocker. It also has the same features in that you can block calls and texts alike. Set it to go straight to vm, hang up no voicemail. I'll have to test root call blocker out to see what the similarities and differences are

Exactly. Mine never rings either. Runs as a service, that's why it needs root. My screen never lights up, or anything. Nothing to let u know there was even a call except the log. It kills the call the milisecond it hits the phone, so it never hits the dialer/ringer whatever u wanna call it...
