On Samsung I used Do Not Disturb to silence unknown callers. Then I made exceptions on apps like Messenger. On Mate 10 pro using Do Not Disturb it's impossible to make exceptions. Is there any apps out there silencing unknown numbers while not stopping other notifications?

Hello Guys,
Quite a while ago I used a Symbian app as an answerphone on my Nokia N96. I believe it was called Advanced Call Manager.
The question is: Are there any apps out there that will allow me to use my Samsung Galaxy SII to answer incoming calls and record messages.
These were the features of ACM for the N95:
More efficient call-handling options you can assign to different contacts
ACM gives you five more ways to subtly escape calls without having to hang up:
Busy tone – send a busy tone to callers. Avoid acting rude by hanging up.
Busy tone and SMS – add a personal touch to sending a busy tone: inform your callers with pre-assigned SMS replies.
Mute the ringer – let the calls through with a muted ringer. More discrete, and keeps you undisturbed.
Divert calls – forward incoming calls when you are unavailable.
Play a personal greeting (Nokia devices only) – set your own answering machine and record the caller’s message straight onto your phone, avoiding having to call your operator to check voice messages.
Handle groups of contacts by creating lists
The easiest way to handle your calls is to divide callers into lists such as “Friends,” “Family,” “Work” and assign blocking rules for each. ACM gives you several handy list options:
Work with blacklists and whitelists – block or allow calls from people included in a list.
Import contacts from your phonebook – simplified list creation.
Individual settings allowed – personalize how ACM handles an individual caller included in a list (for example, send a specific SMS auto-reply to your mother while the default blocking action for list “Family” is to send busy tone).

The closest thing I have come across is Hullomail but this has to have all calls forwarded to there answer service. I'd prefer to simply handle all calls on my SGS2
Cheers.
This is the exact same app for android

Yes I've seen that one, but... It does not record or answer incoming calls on the Android platform.
Does anyone have experience of any apps along these lines?
I was wondering is there any way to Assign a Name to Non-Contact Numbers ?
So, when someone who is not in my Contacts calls me it will display the name i choose
Like "Stranger" or "Do not answer" or "Unknown Caller" etc...

Isn't this usually connected to the fact if the caller sends the number or hides it? I assume even if one of your contacts calls and he hides his number you wouldn't see, but I might be wrong.

My contacts don't usually Hides there number.
So, I'm not concerned about that
I'm asking is there any way to Assign a Single name to All NON-CONTACT numbers ?
Withou decompiling phone.apk etc I doubt it, but you can auto reject all unknown contacts
Is it possible for us to set a numbers blacklist for outgoing calls?
We need to stop some phone numbers from outgoing by mistake. Thank you in advance.
Maybe with apps like true caller...? Play store caller ID...

Thank you. :good:
Whenever i make phone calls , sometimes randomly there are strange sounds very similar to windows 7 when you open a popup or try to install an application on windows. i dont know if these are software issues or not but these are bugging me a lot . Any possible remedies? There is certainly a problem with some units of realme 3 pro
Are you using True caller? I also faced the same issue so i disable truecaller notifications. Truecaller was giving notification for caller ID on dialing which was making that sound

Truecaller is spyware and an affront to the privacy of everyone whose number you have stored on your phone!

I use it with disabled access to my contacts
All the Call Blocking Apps I could find seem to only have the ability to block all calls that the number isn't in your contacts list. I would assume (but maybe not) you can create an app that has access to not only read the phone number of the caller but if there is a matching caller ID name. If that were the case, I am perplexed why none of these apps have a feature to block all calls not in contact list *AND* Caller ID Name is blank or has no letters (in case the function returns the phone number) I know many apps keep a black list database but the problem is, many of the Robo Caller farms don't have all their numbers listed in the black list -- they are constantly changing their blocks of numbers they use -- but virtually none of them return a caller ID name. - you just see a phone number. And note, I am not talking about calls marked "Private", most apps block those.
Is this really not techincally possible or are most of these call blocking app developers overlooking this useful feature?

I think technically they can, but the problems with that are if what happen if someone who just got your phone number call you. All any other services that want to call you in case of an emergency.
i have my note8 setup to send any number not in my contscts to voicemail using Call control. by turning on dnd mode in settings my whitelist and my contacts are aloud .
