Hi
I've only had the xda for a week and I have a question:
I know how to forward all calls to voicemail but its a long procedure (phone-setting-call forwarding etc.).
Is there an easier way to do this, i.e. can you set up something like a macro on the desktop that you click and it will automatically do this and also one other for undiverting the phone.
Thanks

Simly set yourself some speed dials in the phone app.
Never mind, I found it. Root Call Blocker
Are there any ways to make the phone not showing incoming calls and no missed call showing but on the dialer end they still hear the dial tones until voice mail?
I tried Phone Call Blocker but when I tried to use another phone to call, I only heard 1 dial tone then voice mail.
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.
I tried to block incoming calls and sms in android for given numbers. after we block a number, when we getting a call from that blocked number, caller can here voice message as Number Busy.
But is there any way to change this voice message to Power off, No service, The number is not in service messages ?
Is there a way to hide an incoming caller ID? Maybe a way to turn it on when needed and off when not needed? I know this is possible for outgoing calls but what about incoming calls?
I don't see any option for that, never did.
If you like to play guessing who the caller is, just don't look at the screen.
If you don't want the missus to find out the mistress is calling, tell her to block her ID when calling you.

Would be nice to have an option to show all incoming callers ID or hide all incoming callers ID.
