Are there any Call Blocking applications that can Block the incoming call, if it is on the Black List, while on an existing call?
Call blocking app I've tried is unable to block the 2nd call, and comes through as a normal call which isn't blocked, but this defeats the purpose of a Call Blocking app.
Is this an Android restriction, or an App restriction?
I do have Youmail, so I can enter numbers I want Blocked, into contacts, and have them Ditched, where the caller would hear a disconnect message.
But I'd like to known about a capable Call Blocking application.
Actually, I have to check with Youmail to see if Calls can be Ditched while on another call.
I use the blocking system that comes with the phone and all calls events texts are blocked..

The gs3 has one built in. Phone/recent/ longpress on undesired #, add to reject list.
edIt- I used call blocker gold on previous device which worked well. Gonna use the built in one for now.

I didn't know about the built in. Thanks,
But while I'm on a call, and the Blocked call comes in, it's going to Voicemail after 4 rings, even though I don't see the incoming call ringing on my S3.
The first time I tried it with the built in call Blocker, I didn't hear the outgoing voicemail gtg, and the call showed being blocked. The 2nd try, the call got through.
Can anyone verify that the S3s call Blocker effectively blocks an incoming 2nd call, while you're on an existing call?
Haven't tried... But maybe the app needs root access? There is an app called root call blocker.

I purchased RCB a year or so ago, and activated it on my S3. I set up the Profile and Black List, etc.
While on another call, incoming blocked calls didn't ring on my S3, But the calls went to VM after 5 rings. The Blocked call showed on the RCB list of blocked calls. I've tried 5 Block Actions. I'll have to contact the Developer and inquire about Blocking a "2nd Call."
I've been using my GV# from my device, to call my Sprint # for testing. Maybe that's causing a conflict?
I don't think so, But I'll have to call my S3 from another phone, to Test.
I purchased Extreme Call Blocker Droid from the Market, But while on another Call, the incoming Blocked Call disconnected the Call I was on, and VM picked it up, instead of Blocking it.
The Developer mentioned that the app should have just let the Incoming call through as an Unblocked call, and Not disconnect the Call I was on, because there are limitations with the Android system, where Blocking apps cannot block incoming calls while on another call. This is not what I want because it defeats the purpose of a Call blocking app.
Calls sometimes getting blocked and sometimes not? The Caller will then know that the Number is still "Good."
I'm still looking into this to see if this is an Android, Google or App Limitation.
Anyone know if it's possible to disable this
It comes disabled by default to receive incoming calls.
You have to enable it to ring your phone over wifi.
I turned off that an option. In fact, I uninstalled Hangouts Dialer and it still rings.

Can anyone help
Hello, I have a question here,
Got marshmallow running on my HTC One m8.
There is no silent mode anymore as in no sound and no vibration. What's there now is the do not disturb feature which basically does the same. But Accidentally I had it set to accept calls only from contacts.
What I can not find out now is, does this actually and actively block and deny any calls of unknown numbers without logging them or showing in any way that this person tried to call me, or does it just not show full screen call notification when I receive a call of unknown numbers?
Hope someone can shed a light on this.

Hi! Google replaced Do Not Disturb feature with Silent in Lollipop 5.0 and it was reported that they will bring Silent back at a later stage. Anyways, the Do Not Disturb feature in Android phones does not decline calls automatically like iPhone's Do Not Disturb, it only silents your phone and if you have selected 'Contacts Only' then it will only ring if someone from your contacts call you otherwise it will remain silent and notify you of the call or text (or whatever) and your screen will turn on while a call is being received.
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU!
Okay thanks! Was worried I'll miss calls or something.
I tried it out in the meantime, asked a friend whose number I don't have to call me. I didn't ring loud regardless whether I set accept all calls, or contacts only. It rung silently but the call came through in both cases.
On my phone, I have it set to Priority Only Allows with Messages from anyone plus Calls from anyone.
For some odd reason, my phone will turn on DND and not allow anything to pass for about an hour. This happens several times a day since I can see the DND symbol there knowing that DND has been blocked even though the Priority has allow all messages and calls.
It appears to be activated by my watch through both DND and gestures and over rides what my phone has established. Every so often I see that my phone is in DND and all calls will go to voice mail.
I turned off gestures, set DND to OFF, but is there a way to have this be off and have it stop interfering with my phone calls?
I had the same problem and turned off gestures. I also reported it to Google. Maybe if enough people report similar issues they will make a change.
Android Wear 2.0 was supposed to be out by now, but it was delayed until early next year. Maybe they will make some changes, such as allow customizing gestures.
