What are you all using for Call Blocker?
I was using RCB (Root Call Blocker) but found out that was locking up and causing the random reboots. I would be trying to text and RCB would pop up needing root access again and again and then reboot the phone.
Also after it would have an update it would turn off the cell service until you went through the setup process all again.
Got tired of that

Mr. Number has been working excellent for me! It alerts me if the number comes from a number that has been marked as spam, and you can mark numbers as spam.
I can, with one click, block a number.
Its excellent!

That sounds good. Can you block a whole area code or like the area code and then first three of a number with strings?
Example... 999* or 999-456*
UPDATE.
I just installed Mr. Number and it looks like you can block just area codes and such just use the block number that starts with.
Thanks for the share...

Yes you can!
Here is the list of blocks you can add:

ive been using call master and it has lots of options
I am using the one from Xposed called Blacklist. So I am rooted of course. Very happy with it but Mr. Number is looking good. Going to check that out.

I use Go SMS on CM 7.0.3 ROM. I frequently (2-3 times a day) get a weird text alert as you can see below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, it says 7pm (and always does regardless of actual time), has no sender, has no content, and does not show up when I actually launch either Go SMS or the regular messages app. It is like a ghost alert with no real message attached. Has anyone else experienced this? What causes it? How do I stop it?
Yes I do.
Yes I do also get this. I have a DroidX with gingerbread. I get it probably more than 3 times a day. I only get it with an actual text message. i have not been able to figure out what is causing it. Please figure out!!!
+ 1, would be great if someone could figure this out, quite annoying
It usually happens when you get a picture message.

I get it everytime i get a normal text.
Anyone figure this out? I just switched from Handcent to Go SMS a few days ago and am now getting these "ghost" messages.
My *guess* is that this may be caused by a combination of Go SMS and some other app. I've recently reset my phone and removed a lot of apps and widgets (like Fancy Widgets and Beautiful Widgets) and haven't had the problem since. Makes me think it may be a widget update of weather or something that is causing this.

I agreed - something to do with MMS notifications and multiple notifications accumulating.
Ive been having it for a little while now, maybe the last month and a bit.
cheers.
I am trying to figure out how to get rid of the persons callback number in text messages(after the name, its displays (M ##########): before the msg)...
Strangely, I've noticed for some people it shows just their name without the cb# in each response(the way I want it!) though for others it shows the call back number in each txt they send....any idears?
This is what I want every txt identity to look like...for some reason this person is the only one that doesn't display the cb#

I think this setting is on their end.

You could always download go messenger instead.

I thought it displayed the number when you had multiple contact numbers/options for the person. Can you confirm or disprove this on your phone?

This appears to be correct. I don't have email addys for most of my contacts and one that I did showed her number. I added an email addy to one that did not show number and now it does show her number. Also showing my bro's number and I have two numbers for him but no email addy.

I believe you are correct. At least that's the way it is for me as well.

Seems like thats it! Ones with no cb# doesnt have emails nor linked to facebook...
However, when I tried deleting the ones with emails/cb#'s, it wont let me...and they are the ones linked to facebook. I tried deleting them manually though wouldnt let me...hmphh might hafta do without fb links.
Started using Handcent for that very reason.
whenever I get an incoming call with caller ID, a lady's voice would voice prompt who is calling and it's so loud!!!
I just switched from S4 to S5. I remembered it did the same thing on my S4 when I first got it but I was able to quickly disable it. But with the S5, I tried and tried and couldn't find a solution. I'm not in driving mode FYI...
Any idea??? Thansks!

Check in settings> language and input. Might also want to check accessibility settings.

Did you install any app that requires access to "Accessibility"?
Some apps like Tasker requires you to enable accessibility and you will get a prompt that says "If you enable accessibility for that app, you won't be able to use talkback, air view.... etc...."
I remember that back in S4, it caused problems and made talkback becomes active from time to time even when it was unchecked due to a bug.
I don't know if you did change accessibility or not but just wanted to mention that.

Turn off hands free mode
My Pixel 1 running the latest stock ota Pie build (pq3a.190801.002) apparently still has no way to filter unknown callers by default. Seems like this should just be a basic feature built into phones at this point. And I assume newer Pixel models don't have it either, since the software is basically all the same. Since "DND" is just a glorified silent mode, that means every spam call interrupts music (which I normally have going 10-12 hours out of the day). Sheesh. I appreciate my Pixel phone because using it means I don't have to trust yet another phone company with primary communications device. Since I want to maintain a trusted boot environment, my only option seems to be... trusting a third party app to block unknown callers. Now I just have to find one that won't violate my privacy. FML:

I found exactly one app [1] that required purchase, and then found out that it is no longer developed and doesn't work anymore after purchasing it. Cool. I've looked at half a dozen others and they all have invasive "features" such as automatic lookups for everyone that calls me. This guarantees they are sending information about every call I receive back to themselves to process this. Cool.
At this point I'm starting to assume my best option is to give up and buy an old flip phone.

I totally forgot about Tasker. I think I've fixed this with a simple profile:

Ooh, thanks for the solution. I've put it on my wishlist to think about it before pulling the trigger to buy it. I get at least one spam call a day. And spam text like every week. I hate it. How's the app doing for you? Still no more spam calls?
I had a missed called,
Looking all over the place to find out what time I missed the call,
Impossible to find this information?
I can't believe for Google Progress means Regress
Some suggestions online send you to
Recents | Call Histrory | Long Press on the number
All I see is
- Number
- Copy Number
- Edit number before call
- Block/report spam
- Delete
What am I missing? Even if it is somewhere that I missed, the fact that I have to search the internet and then post about it just to able to get a basic information about a call says a lot about Google.
Should be in the dialer under 'Recents'.

Should be, but it is not.
This is all I see

So you don't have anywhere like this:
Yeah I see recents, then I see a list of recent calls
All it says is `Sat` for when was the call
I want to know the time.
So I long Press on the call in question and I see the screenshot above.
Do you see the time on your phone?
It seems to only show the current days time for calls. However if you click on the middle of the call you want the time for in recents you end up with this:
Then click history and you've a full list of the calls from that contact.
Thank you,
@ Google, Insanely intuitive (sarcasm)
On my Pixel 6, I can see the date/time of the call by going to Recents > Short-press the number > History. The Day and time are shown at the bottom of the screen.
