Anyone know of any good call blocking programs for the kaiser? preferably free?
thanks
jb
Google for a program called Call Firewall. I use it on both my Kaiser and my Wizard and it works very well.
I like smartblock it does both phone calls and SMS messages.

I've used Call Firewall but I don't like how it lets my phone ring once then silences it and it doesn't give me the option to block private and unknown numers. I can't remember if it lets me block by area codes though, but I need that for the stupid 866 and 888 numbers that call at 7am.

Is this program free?
SmartBlock d/l and installed. But is not going into effect. I did some reading and it says it only supports 2003 and WM5. Any suggestions for those who use SmartBlock?
jb
Yeah it seems like finding a good call blocking program is quite a bit harder than it should be. I tried a bunch of them then settled on this one.
call block
It does cost money ($10). It's not quite perfect but it works pretty well.

Hi
i tried lots of programs, and for me the best call blocking program is magicall.....but unfortunately is not free.
On tytnii it works like a charm.

Hmm, I've never had the problem with it ringing my phone once before it blocks it. I have an ex blocked and she used to call me about 10 times a day and it never rang once.
Also, I'm not sure what version of call firewall your using, but it has the option to reject unknown/private calls right on the first page on mine. I'm using version 1.2. And, if you go to menu and then black list options and choose the pattern option it allows you to block calls starting with a certain number such as 866 or 888.

Thanks for the link Mex, but unfortunately I got it to work and I thought it would be the one I was looking for but after you turn it on it will block the numbers you wish not to pick up BUT when you go to make a call, a popup comes and says something like "sorry you are un able to make this call right now either there is no signal or the number you are trying to dial isn't a verified number, please try later. Have you ran into this problem?

Thanks. I must've had the 1.1 which didn't have the private/unknown numbers and such. I will give it a shot. Hopefully they config the program to go straight to vmail like SmartBlock does and doesn't even show up on your device call logs but only in SmartBlocks history log.
Going to test out Call Firewall right now, I will report back.
jb
magicall works amazing! it is indeed the best.
For me the best blocking sw is NOVOSEC's smartfilterpro. Unfortunately it doesn't work in wm6.
I was using Call SMS blocker. Not free but work excellent.

Just wanted to resurrect this thread to say I tried Smartblock and MagiCall (didn't try Call Firewall due to the one ring delay) and found that:
- Smartblock had a one ring delay before blocking while MagiCall doesn't.
- MagiCall has the option to answer and then immediately hang up, meaning the offending number gets charged for the call!
For those two points alone, MagiCall is about to get my business. I also found the option when making a rule to choose whether you get notified about events or not.
Thanks for putting me on to this program.
I have been using SPB Phone Suite which also has this feature, though I have yet to use it. It supports Black Lists, White Lists and no CallerID. I just turned it on for PrivateID- I'll let you know how well it works.
You know the lady voice that announces when the battery is almost dead, when you get a text message and reads it to you and all the other stuff...is there any way to change that text to speech voice to a different female voice? I know there are several other voices that are available but not sure how it would be changed on wm 6.1
First off, what app is doing that for you?
huh???!!

Are you sure your using a diamond for that? I have used a diamond for months now and have not discovered that feature!! please provide further details as to what device you have and which country bought in etc.
interesting....
I think I know what he's talking about, which is he has MS Voice Command installed.
As far as I know, it isn't possible to change the voices on MSVC but if anyone can prove me wrong please do, as I'd love a different set of voices as well

He's talking about Voice Commander. When you receive an email / sms you can run it and say 'Read SMS' or 'Read Email' and it will read any unread emails /sms
Very handy, esp. when driving
I would also love to know how to change the voice though

Come on now, of course I know what freakin' phone I'm using. That's like asking someone if they know what kind of car they drive and if they are sure about it.
Here's what you do to enable it:
Settings>Voice Command>
Check 'Enabled'
Check 'Messaging', 'Status' & 'Phone' boxes
The go to 'Notifications' and check 'Announce notifications through device speaker or wired headset only'
[/LIST]
Those directions above will read out loud the person calling you when you get a call, the person who sent you a SMS and what the SMS says, will read to you any email including the sender and subject line, but not the email and will also notify you when your battery is gonna die.
Trust me, it's a major attention-getter when your phone reads a text message to you when it comes in and people around you are like wtf was that. Plus it's great if you are lying in bed or something and your phone is across the room...you can hear what the message says and whether or not it's worth getting out of bed for. :-D
But anyway, if anyone knows how to change the voice please respond. Thanks!
Voice Command isn't installed on all Diamonds as standard and as I stated, there is no way to change the voices, I have searched for this myself before with no luck.
cool!

This sounds like an excellent app! I tried locating it on my UK O2 spec diamond and could not find so if anyone has got a cab file please post. I will search google now and i'm sure i'll find it and post if no-one beats me to it.
Man i'm learning new sh!t about my phone everyday. Cheers guys i know i have not answered your question but you have helped me finding something new
nice one!
pretty sure you cant change the voice but i know there's a registry tweak to slow the voice down witch makes it easier to understand. I've just remembered I'm sure there's the tweak in Advance config hope this helps
yeah i have this enabled on my phone and its the best when your laying in bed and wonder if its worth looking at. I do wish it was a more sexier voice like sigourney weaver from planet earth, and a little slower would be nice. IT came stock on my sprint diamond fyi, im surprised other versions dont have it
I have a sprint diamond and mines only talks when someone sends me a text message marked urgent and thats it. I have all the tabs checked on VC in the settings menu. am I missing somthing?

You don't have it setup correctly, that's why.
Go into Voice Command and do this:
- Check all the boxes you want to use this service. (Phone, Messaging, Status, Etc.)
- Highlight 'Messaging' then click on 'Options' button then UNCHECK 'High Priority Messages Only' and CHECK 'Announce New Messages'. Do the same steps for others like 'Phone' and 'Status' to change it's options. Make sure you highlight it first.

PLEASE HELP me to block private/restricted calls on my HTC FUZE. I have a person calling me with private and or restricted number all night long...at least 40-50 times through out the night. on my HTC tilt I could set a no ring tone sound for the unknown calls....in the HTC fuze I don't see such option. I installed call firewall on it today and now its blocking ALL my calls
sorry If this is already answered but could not find a solution when searching the site...
any help would be much appricieated.....
Thanks
Which version of Call Firewall are you using? Is it v1.4?
If so there should be an option to "Reject Unknown / Private Calls". This should work for you, but no gaurantees.
I have the 1.4 version but it blocks all my calls
I have the 1.4 version but it blocks all my calls ...when i tried setting it to unknown / blocked calls it still blocks all my calls! =(
I called att&t and they won't do a thing...
Put a blank sound file on your phone. Put the person in your contacts, set the rington as the blank sound file.

It is unknown. You can't put that into your phonebook.
<I fail at reading.
I am using CallFirewall 1.4 and it works great on my Rapahel. All unknown calls got rejected. Maybe you should jsut reinstall Callfirewall program.
Have you tried SPB Phone Suite? I am using it although I don't use the Call filter function.
But I checked what it offers and you can add Private Callers to blacklist.
There should be trial version of SPB PS on their website... Maybe you can try it if you don't mind to pay a few bucks eventually.
Try MagiCall
I use magiCall by mobiion here is the link: http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html I have used it for at least 4 years and it works wonders. While it's isn't free the developers supports it fully provides free updates for minor releases. It has a lot of options as well and there is a 15 day free trial.
You could use YouMail to do this. It's a voice mail service for your phone that allows you to block particular callers as well.

I am using the call firewall 1.4. However I still get 1 ring before it rejects them. It also tends to block any number that is NOT private/restricted. For example I make a call from my home (unblocked) to the mobile phone...it starts ringing but won't let me answer the call =(
What settings are you guys using on the call firewall? may be I am doing something wrong...
I have the reject unknown/private calls checked.....
MagiCall RULES!
I just installed the free trial of MagiCall and it works like a champ :=) I don't get my normal calls rejected and it actually rejects the blocked numbers with out a single ring....
I WISH IT WAS FREE! any one has a copy to spare
call firewall automatically shutdow in touch pro
i am using call firewall 1.4 on my touch pro and after i minimize it, i suppose it hide and keep running behind.
i leave the "Do not show in 'Running Program'" uncheck, so i am suppose to see it's running in the task manager all the times, right?
but it seems that call firewall sometime will automatically shutdown and disappear from the tasks manager. sometime is after i turn on the media player, sometime is after i turn on the youtube link.
the worse things is, this shutdown does not occur consistencely.
does anyone of the experienced user can tell me do they get similar issue on their touch pro/fluz with call firewall?
i did contact with HTC but they cannot help me because i cannot explicitely tell them how and when the software will shut down.
i want to see may be it is due to i am just not too familiar with the machine. or there are someother treak that is i don't know.
this also happen with both SPB GPRS Monitor and the SPB wireless Monitor.
those are also program i need to run at the background consistenly.

I found that Mobiion is co-operating with TrialPay. If you don't know much about TrialPay, you may search it on the internet.
You are able to get MagiCall for free by doing a TrialPay purchase. Just open the product page http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html, and then close the page, a window will pop up displaying a purchase button to make TrialPay purchase and get MagiCall for free.
Hope it can help you.

Thanks for the info. Just did this. Worked like a charm. I signed up for a free trial of emusic.com and now Mobiion will be sending me a registration key within 24 hour. Instead of $24 this ended up costing nothing. All I have to do is log into my emusic account and cancel the trial tomorrow without being charged anything.

Can you guys recommend a theft alert style prog for the X1.
So far i have heard of
Ultimate Theft Alert v3
MASPware GuardMobile
Where Is My Phone
Smart Protect
What's the best, what are the things to look for?
Thanks
thanks for posting..i was also looking for a programme..the phone costs as much as my laptop..and if i lose it i am gonna regret it.
samsung phones have inbuilt softwares..not sure of SE though.
there was a free anti-theft programme also.
SmartProtect is also an option
Smartphonetracker is free and works exactly like WIMP (Where Is My Phone).

Hm, I read the program documentation but there is a thing that makes the program absolutely useless:
Send SMS with a predefine code to the lost/stolen phone or your family member that have SmartphoneTracker installed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If someone steals my phone, the first thing he would do is to switch it off and exchange the sim card. So how should I send a SMS to the phone to wake up the program when my SIM-card with my phone number isn't in the phone anymore?
Such a Anti-Theft-Program need to send the location to a predefined Mail-Account when the SIM-Card has been changed. The program has to recognize that the SIM isn't the same and then start itself on Windows startup as soon as possible so that it cannot be closed before it can send the mail.
Anything else makes such a program useless in my opinion.

Notify on sim change... It's in the settings.
This means your phone with the new simcard will send a sms or email to a predefined number (not your own number but maybe your brothers phone or someone else you can trust) as soon as it detects a new sim inserted. voila and you have the thiefs phonenumber.
I have tested the feature and it works very well...
Maybe you didn't read about all the features?

You do that. I think you'll like it.
I'm using MASPware GuardMobile, works fine and a lot of options. Smart proctect seems very good to me too, and it's free. Maybe I'll give it a try after a hard reset
i am searching a antitheft program, that is invisible implemented/implementable
into the ROM (completely configured).
for hardreset resistance. a spezial version of hardspl could be a good way.
so the theft protection is resistand for firmwareupdates by the theft.
hardspl once installed, could give out a unique secret key.
without this key no hardspl remove/update is possible. and the protection is not easy removable.hardspl handles all flash requests and without key....
only with commands to read/write directly to FLASH, the last chance to remove it.
and thats not easy for NOOB´s
what are your settings for Smartphone Tracker? i installed it an replaced the simcard but until now i havent received an email oder sms. it doesnt seem to work on the xperia? anyone has ideas?

1. you must have a working email account installed into the xperia.
This account (marked with a red box) will be used for sending the stealth-mail to your destination account.
2. The destination account should not be installed on the phone as the thief would also get the stealth-mail.
3. Setup your options in the settings view (see attached pictures)
4. press Send now in the menu if you want to tryout your settings.
It's recommended to have satellite sync while testing this.
5. Save changes and exit the application.
I'm having some trouble with smartphone tracker on my X1. When I send an sms containing my passphrase the X1 phone displays the text as a new unread message. Also the phone doesn't send any mail to my configured receiver. And yes, I've chosen a working mail account, it works when pressing "send now..." from within smartphone tracker.
Also the incoming text message displays as a new unread message, it's not suppose to do that right?
I get the feeling that Smartphone tracker doesn't catch incoming text messages. What's your experiences?

Did you try it?
And Kevin Mitnick participate to the software conception
Wow this really does work! Tried it on my att Fuze and after a bit of configuration it unblocks it all. It asks for you voice mail number though, i don't know why though. It also changes all of your call forwarding numbers to theirs rather than your default voice mail number. People calling you still go to your voice mail like normal though, maybe that is why they need your voice mail number in the beginning.
can someone help me out? i cant seem to get this to work, i get the blocked calls and all but i cant access my voicemail what number do i need to set as my voicemail number that i call to get my messages?
im on tmobile USA in california
edit*** i got it to work
Im in the UK so cant try this, but just a thought.. you should combine this service with this thread to make it all automatic!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=451309
great tool, soon my phone can do anything
i used to use this all the time before...
its always been here, the only new concept here is its available to everyone!!
once anyone calls an 800 number with a private number it automaticly gets unblocked (its the law) and then trap calls just forwards the call back to u!
u can do it on ur own all u need is an 800 number with a cheap plan!
under phone settings u need to set condintional forwarding for busy to ur 800 number, then forward ur 800 number back to u!
the only downside is u have to let the phone ring through if u want it to go to voicemail.
(u can mute it)
is there anyway to use this feature and also integrate it with YouMail? i really love YouMail and all the features they give for free!

Yes I have youmail as well, so I played with the setting......
all you have to do is......on the trapcall setting when it tell you to put the phone number that you see on your phone "That is you carrier voicemail" instead of putting that phone number in, you put the youmail phone number (17142043114)...........That is all you have to do.

You do it the Trapcall settings
Where you put the forwarding number that is where you put the youmail number
1. Sign in to your Trapcall account (on computer)
2. now go to the settings tab and under that select My Phone
3. under Phone Overview click carrier edit
4. select your carrier and the click update
5. When it say "We Need More Information!" there will be a box asking for a forwarding number, put in the youmail number
"17142043114" click I'm Done
6. Under Program Phone you will see where you have to dail the number on you phone (*004*18669676590*11# and hit SEND) after that click
I did this.
That should of work............ Enjoy unblocking people
