I ws wondering if its possible that instead of picking and hanging up the call (this is what call blockers do), I cn reject a call in a way that service provider informs caller that my phone is switched off or busy or out of reach
Try Call forwarding

If you mean a specific person, then I can't give you an answer.
What I do know, if you forward your calls to your service providers voicemailbox they will end up thinking your phone is off. Then again this will be for all your calls.
Try this (you require root) -
Root Call Blocker - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta
Or a more advanced version which includes rules and SMS blocking -
Call Master - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist

Yeah, Root Call Blocker will do this and I believe the DND that comes with MIUI and CM also works this way but I haven't tested fully.

Root Call Blocker is the best of them all. Just need root device.

Hello guys, im the developer of Root Call Blocker, an advanced call and SMS blocking app for rooted phones.
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.
Come on guys, i really need some feedback!

I'll give it a go for you tomorrow, is there any specific ROMs or conditions you want me to run this under?
I would test it today for you but i haven't had any sleep in 37 hours now, so it's time for me to crash out
Regards

Stock would be perfect! Or stock-based!

i don't think that you will find here many people using stock rom and there is only 1 stock-based the most of X8 users here on XDA are using froyo or GB custom roms
Yes, but there are many more stock users, so we are appealing to them. The app works perfectly on non stock (all most), so we are looking for no feedback on that...
ill set it back to 2.1 for you and give it a test in a couple of hours for you, is there any specific aspects that dont seem to work?

People have said calls are occasionally allowed through...
My wife uses this phone and everything works perfectly.
i tried it out and had two friends try to call me 10 times, i didnt come across any problems

Sorry bro, but i've had no issues with it on the stock SE 2.1 firmware or FroyoBread (Android 2.2) at all

I've been using it for several days now, to block unknown calls and it works great. Not a single beep passed tru. I did noticed that the reject mode i choose when i made the profile (fast reject) was on "normal" reject now.. Is the lite version supposed to be like this?
Btw, i'm with stock 2.1

It was just the reject method but it never happend again, i restarted the phone and the app several times and it works ok. Maybe i changed it by mistake.
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
Right sounds good!
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
Come on people, i really need some feedback on this!
so as the title says was searching for an app that blocks call like the s2 does. i recently upgraded to N4 and i miss this funtionality.
don't tell me search the playstore . almost all apps would do the same either send u to voicemail by hanging up or answer and hang up quickly. and either way the caller would know that u hung up.
with the call blocker from the SGS2 ur screen will flash only once and u would see the a blocked call on ur call log , the caller on the other hand would only get to hear that u r out of coverage.
i hope someone here could help me out
PS : sorry for my english

thanks for ur recommendation but this app just mutes the call or just pick up and hang up. i came to the conclusion that not app on the play store with ability to do the listed above( at least not without root access)
Google voice isn't give me voicemail notifications and app settings are fine. In voicemail settings, it says iconditional forwarding unsuccessful. I tried that manual way where it starts with **004 but that didn't make a difference. Any ideas? Thanks.
I still don't think this has been resolved, or really even addressed, yet.

It's funny how GV App has remain buggy and featureless. I wonder why the hell Google doesn't fix it and gives it a major overhaul like all their other apps. Like for instance I've always wondered why don't they include in-app purchasing capabilities for when you want to top off your account for international calling.... that's just messed up.
Google should really pay attention to that app, many people use this service and deserve something better.
GV works fine for me. You need to be post-paid. Pre-paid doesn't have call forwarding.
I have post paid
So do I, so that's certainly not the issue.

I got it to work by manually doing call forwarding to my GV number, only to see it switch back a couple days later. I believe it had to do with using T-mobile's WiFi calling, but I can't say for certain.
Hi ppl, I wanted to know what is the best call blocking app for Note II (Rooted) ?
I had sony experia X10i android 2.1 (rooted) 2 years ago and I had an app called "root call blocker" which was the best app for call blocking because when ever the blocked person called it used to tell that "the person you r trying to call is out of reach" without even ringing for 1-2 sec. And now I have used many call blockers but all ring for 1-2 sec and then "the person your are trying to call is busy".
And now everybody knows that this means that they are being blocked.
Is there any app that gives better call blocking?

Root call blocker is the best for Note 2 too.

I love afirewall

It has so many options and setings and can be hidden so there is no icon and only if you dial a predetermined phone number the firewall options will open.
I have never seen better than RootCall blocker / Call master (Both from same developer). Using since it was beta nearly 2yrs ago.
Root call blocker is the best imo !

Forward your voice call 'when busy' to non existing number.
It will be better if you can have caller tune, bcoz caller tune usually takes time to starts also you can set caller tune with blank part initially. After this blocked caller never get even fraction of ring and will get msg 'number you are dialling doesn't exist' as you have forwarded to non existing number.

I would be really obliged if you can tell me how exactly I can forward blocked(blacklisted)people to a non existing number!I have used both call master and rcb but it is really annoying when the person calling you hears a ring and then is disconnected!

This thing you have to do from call setting of device not from rcb
Select call setting - additional - call forwarding - forward when busy - now enter any non existing number.
Now from rcb select profile not in contact and select action busy tone.

If I'm not mistaken, but you could have something turned on under accessibility menu.

If u uncheck this it will not read the name of the caller out loud. Hope this helps since no one seemed to know the answer. :thumbup:

I actually just posted a thread similar to this. I found out you can turn it off but you have to turn off voice control as well. The thing is I like to sometime answer calls with voice control because my hands are busy or in the shower or whatever...
With my previous phones(S4, Note 2), I could turn the caller ID voice prompt off independently and still have the voice control feature. But with the S5, it's both or nothing. I'm hoping I missed something but I've looked and looked...
But if you don't need both features, you can turn both off together but not one or the other(call settings > answering and ending calls > voice control).
