Looking for a call filter program

Hi! I am looking for a call filter program that can filter all unwanted or no number incoming calls, I tried photo contacts pro but its slow & sometimes the caller can't hear anything for 1 to 2 seconds repeatly during the conversation. I also tried MagiCall, this program is simple & nice but it can't hang up the no number calls, instead it will pass these calls to my voice mail box directly. It has a option "pick up/hang up", this works what I want but will waste the air time. So anyone can suggest a call filter program to me that can directly hang up the no number calls? Thanks!

Call Firewall

thanks for your reply, I've seen the features of this program but it doesn't mention it can block no number call or not? Do you know it has this feature or not? Thanks!

uh, sorry, can't help you there. I only HAD this program in some of the ROMs I used, never actually USED it.
And auto-rejecting no-number calls would have killed it in my book anyway, because the phone central in my office randomly removes id from outgoing ones, and so I would never receive business calls, lol.
Ask around, or better yet, try searching the forum for impressions/reviews. I know Laurentius26 uses this app in some (if not all) of his ROMs.
[EDIT]
That's what I found in the description:
Features & Options:
a. Accecpt all calls - pretty self explainatory
b. Accept call from My Contacts only - accepts calls from contacts only, others are rejected
c. Reject all calls - pretty self explainatory
d. White List - accepts calls only from the white listed nos
e. Black List - accepts all call except from the black listed nos
f. Black List Pattern - any no STARTING from the black list pattern list is rejected.
for eg. if you enter "123", so all nos STARTING from "123" will be rejected
this is a very nice option with which you can block nos from any particular network, country, city , area or whatever you can think of.
Besides, there is a check window for "Reject unknown/private calls"... I'd call it a YES, then

CallBlock
I use callBlock from WISH solutions to block a list of callers. It works well and it does not have to answer and hang up.They mention that it can block no number calls but I have not tried it for that. Here is the link:
http://www.wishsolutions.com/products.html
Good luck!

Just tried the Call Firewall, it can block no number calls, but transfer the call to voice mail box directly. Anyway thanks for your suggestion

actually, this CallBlock looks like it offers a few ways of blocking the call... See picture at this address
Block method: dropdown list... Wonder what's in there? researchermd, can you check and let us know?

call firewall works just fine. I use it to block unknown or private numbers.
In addition, you can use your network settings for call barring and block numbers that aren't in your phonebook if you want the extra security of blocking numbers.

The screen you provided should be "CallBlock Ringtone Edition" which is make for palm. For the PPC version, there has no such option can be found

Block incoming calls and messages from a specific number?

Hello,
does someone know a (freeware) program, whick can block incoming calls and sms messages from a specific phone number?
If someone know a program which can do both, tell me. ^^

hi, inesoft adress book can do the trick, and many more. like vibrate when you dialing numbers (I disabled that anoying sound, vibrating is nicer), replace default call screen, when somebody call, you will see a big picture and big numbers etc... http://www.inesoft.com/eng/index.php?in=addressbook.html

Read the ... page before compaining. from v1.3 it also blocks SMS.

Try Call SMS Blocker
use call sms blocker, very powerful program to block both calls and SMS. You need to buy it, I do not have the crack or serial.
http://www.winmobileapps.com/device/pocketpc/csb/csb.aspx

Try MagiCall
You can set up profiles etc. And its working on Diamond.

I use MagiCall. http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html
But it is not free.

i will use one of these apps....

To block call from specific number use SPB Phone Suit. however this wont block sms from the specific user. Only block incoming calls

call n sms blocking
u can use kaspersky mobile .... available on dl4all.com
da calls n sms are blocked and YOU ARE NOT NOTIFIED

Reject call programmatically

Is there any direct (or convoluted) way to reject an incoming call, i.e. send it directly to voicemail. Meaning
(a) if a call is coming in and matches certain criteria
(b) send the call to VM, and stop the ringing. (programmatically)
I've got (a) under control but I dont know how to do (b).
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jay

Well I know in the phonebook settings there is an option to send directly to voicemail for that particular number but that would require you saving the number in your phone book.

I have Telemarketer1 - 7 right now in my phone book and they all go straight to voicemail with that option. Now if there was some way to block "UNKOWN"!

We need a Call Firewall / Blocker Software which can do following.
Register for Intent which can hook Incomming Call events
When Intent is raised if Checks for the number across Predefined Rules in Priority Order if any Rule matched take Action like
Reject Call
Accept and Immediately Reject THIS WILL COST CALLER
Send to Voice Mail
Reject and Reply with SMS
Reject and Create Reminder for Predefined Minutes to Remind us to Call them Back

+1
great idea

Try Youmail (it works for all phones)

There is a program for WM called Mobion MagiCall that would do everything that everyone wants on android but who can port it...

Back to my question...
Folks
I love the lively chit chat but does anyone have an answer to my original question: how do I reject a call programmatically and on the fly (not through phonebook entries set up ahead of time)?
BTW I will have an app available next week on Android Market that allows you to respond to incoming calls with an "I'll call you back asap" text or email, and it will set a reminder for you to call the caller back.

OMG!!! YES, WE CAN DO THAT!!!
I was going to kill myself after severe 24 hours of investigating and discovering... But I've found "fresh" solution!
// "cheat" with Java reflection to gain access to TelephonyManager's ITelephony getter
Class c = Class.forName(tm.getClass().getName());
Method m = c.getDeclaredMethod("getITelephony");
m.setAccessible(true);
telephonyService = (ITelephony)m.invoke(tm);
all all all of hundreds of people who wants to develop their call-control software visit this start point
http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?...:http://mylockforandroid\.googlecode\.com&d=0
there is a project. and there are important comments (and credits)
briefly: copy aidl file, add permissions to manifest, copy-paste source for telephony management )))
Some more info for you. AT commands you can send only if you are rooted. Than you can kill system process and send commands but you will need a reboot to allow your phone to receive and send calls =)))
I'm very hapy =) Now my Shake2MuteCall will get an update !

I use tcallblocking lite (search the market for it) to block calls from unknown numbers and any rom with the hacked phone.apk in it allows you to add numbers to a blacklist. No need for additional entries in your contact list

Moved as not Android Development.

I tried Call Firewallv1.40 freeware. It seems to be working at blocking unwanted private calls. I found it here http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-call-firewall-v1-4.html. The price is certainly good.
Features & Options:
a. Accecpt all calls - pretty self explainatory
b. Accept call from My Contacts only - accepts calls from contacts only, others are rejected
c. Reject all calls - pretty self explainatory
d. White List - accepts calls only from the white listed nos
e. Black List - accepts all call except from the black listed nos
f. Black List Pattern - any no STARTING from the black list pattern list is rejected.
for eg. if you enter "123", so all nos STARTING from "123" will be rejected
this is a very nice option with which you can block nos from any particular network, country, city , area or whatever you can think of.

[Q/REQ] SMS Anti-Spam/Blocker

I'm looking for an app that would allow me to build a blacklist of cellphone numbers and will block all SMS messages from those numbers.
Sort of like an AntiSpam for email, but without any filtering. Just a user-edited blacklist.
I've found many call blockers around the web, but nothing for SMS...
If anyone tested something of the sort, please let me know.
Thanks!

Try a search for Call Firewall.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307178
direct link. Highly recommended, worked really well for a friend who was being stalked/harassed by some guy.

This is a bit of a misnomer... Call and SMS blocking software can only "block" the call or sms after it has already been received by the phone. Think about it this way - your phone doesn't know there's anything there until it's already received it. The software simply keeps the user from seeing the call or message. Bottom line - at that point - you've already paid for the text message (or been deducted one if you have a certain number included). The only option is to call your provider who *might* have the ability to stop texts or calls from specific numbers.

I propose CallMgrPro. Search in this forum.

Although it is not free I have made good experiences with MagiCall. Check out http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html

you can use kaspersky mobile security, which incorporate a spam module where you can put phone number in a white/black list.

Most providers will give you 2 options:
1) Deal with it
2) Block SMS all together

Call Blocker Program?

What is the best call blocking program for the aria? It needs to have a whitelist to only allow people I specify to reach me. Thanks in advanced

Not exactly a direct solution on the Aria, but doesn't Google Voice allow you to filter calls? Again, I don't know about blocking.. but at the very least you can direct calls you don't want directly to voicemail.

i actually found this option today while going through my contacts. if you actually choose a contact and view his/her contact information. there is a menu down option to automatically send that person to voicemail whenever they call. i've already set a few to that option, but have yet to test it.

I tested it today, works GREAT!!! the phone doesn't even ring they just go right to VM

i use an app called Driodblock. there is a feature in it that tells you to block all calls except for your contacts (under scene mode). i think that is what you are looking for
i use it to block telemarketers or any unknown calls, which is what it's useful for. it does however tell you that the person called, but you dont hear the ring or anything, it goes straight to voicemail. you can also set it up so that that person gets hung up on so they dont get vmail LOL
the only problem is that if you search for droidblock in the market app, it doesnt show up. you have to search under "block calls" and it'll show up.

Yep, the two best ones are made by the same company:
Root Call Blocker (for general use):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta
Call Master (for advanced users):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist
These are the only blockers that completely block everything without turning the screen on. Need to be rooted though.

I use the option under contacts if it's someone I would rather leave a voicemail than talk to.
I use an app called call filter for numbers where the caller id is unknown. It has additional options for blocking specific numbers, but I've never needed it.
I've registered my phone numbers on the national do not call registry. I don't get telemarketing calls. If I ever do receive one, I will go to that same site and report the number. I've only received two telemarketing calls in the past 4 years having my number registered there.

You could use blocking apps to help you
Some apps on the Google Play provide you esay ways to block the unwanted calls.
Such as WhosCall, Call Blcoker ,Mr Number, Caller ID and so on.
You could try it. But don't install all of them at once since it would make your phone slow.
I usually use WhosCall which can search the strange phone number and provide a easy way to block them.
Hope it could help you.

We make the two best ones - root call blocker and call master. Both in my sig. Enjoy.
