Hi All,
I needed to stop a contact calling me so I added them to the blacklist, to check I tried blacklisting my personal mobile calling the Samsung Galaxy S2, so I can see when I view the contact details the no entry symbol on the number ( Why does it not show on the contact list?, surely it would make more sense to also show on here so you can see which contacts you have blacklisted rather than have to edit or view details for each one to find?), however when I try to ring the Samsung it still rings and I can still hear ringing on my personal phone which is not what it says in the instructions ?
When I check the call log, the number is there with the no entry symbol also so it obviously knows its blacklisted, but its not stopping the call ?
Anybody else tried this?
PS: I am now using the Lightning ROM so maybe this could be aproblem with the rom so if somebody could check who is on stock rom that would be great.
Also, is the blacklist option limited to the number of entries?, is it also suppost to block sms ?
SMS can't be blocked. It depends on the network and will be sent through. You can alternatively put them under Spam/Blocked folder, that's all you can do.
About Blacklist of Contacts in GSII, yes it DOES work. I am using it from the first day. You just have to press and hold on a Contact or Call Log to add it/them to Blacklist. Yes, there is no sign whatsoever that you will see as blacklisted, but to confirm just go to, Settings-Call-Call rejection-Black list to see which number/s you have added under Blacklist. And I do believe that Blocking capability also depends on the Network, other party, whom you've blocked, will hear Ring for a second or less before hearing the Busy tone. I didn't like that, thus installed Root Call Blocker and I can say it works just the same as the in built call blocker of GSII. I am still searching for an app which could be able to do real block, i.e- Elimination of ring at the first second or two and hear Busy/Unavailable tone straightaway, but still I doubt it would work or not as it depends on the carrier you are on IMO. Still if anyone knows a good app please let us know.
Regards.
the same problem here...

I think the way blacklist works changed after the last droid update.
go to settings -> call -> call rejection -> auto reject mode ( set to Only blacklist )
The GII Blacklist is limited to 100 entries
Has anyone else noticed this? Getting fed up of PPI Claim companies ringing me up so I blacklisted the number and they still get through :/
Edit, found options in call settings, had to set blacklist to auto reject
hello all
i am curious to know if there is a way to make my phone number private for certain contact. is there an app that makes my outgoing calls private? other than adding *67 to each contact.
i have a work phone that forwards all the incoming calls to my personal phone. there are times that i have to a followup call and i use my personal phone number. i have change my number 3 times in the past 4 month. any suggestion will be appreciated. thank you.
*67 then number you want to dial for example *67-(555)-555-5555

Have you tried Google Voice? You can call clents from that number and control access on how and when it can notify(I love the call block feature) you.
I believe the phones also have an automatic prepend feature (normally adds the +1 for dialing) I think you can change it to whatever you want (e.g *67)
The only thing I know to do is either, add *67 each time or change their contact information to include it.
Alternatively you can have it added to your phone at the Sprint level. It unfortunately is not select-able and will make all calls private. The problem with that, I found, was MANY people won't answer blocked calls.
Hi guys. There is a very annoying feature of our phones: when a contact calls , during the incoming call, it also shows last calls and last smses with that person. How can I disable this??
Thank you!
Did you find out a way to disable this?
No way...
When getting incoming calls, I no longer get the option to answer or reject the call. I get the caller ID info, but nothing else. I have to open the case to answer the call. Any ideas why or how to fix this? I've gone through all the settings I can think of but nothing has corrected this issue.
