I've tried heaps (got like 30 in my start menu), done many searches... Tired of heresay and finding out none really work. I want to easily block people off my touch pro. Anyone have a working version of anything?
Answer(credit to mtem1985): Magicall http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html It's a great little program, can block calls/sms with auto delete, logging, notifications, etc... it can even send a message back to your harrasser like "I told you there is more fish in the sea" or just "You Are Blocked"
Pretty cool, suited my needs perfect.
Here Here! I had the mistake of giving a guy at work my cell number because he "needed a favor" thinking he needed me to work for him and just to find out he wanted to bug me and talk about absolutely nothing. EVERY SINGLE DAY! And it doesn't matter if I yell at him at work and not respond ever to his messages. He still manages to text me all the time a couple times a day! HELP SOMEONE!
Nobody knows of a working one eh?
i've used magicall in the past,
Worked great for me. give it a try
Works perfect, thanks man.
hey there~
i am fairly certain that the free call firewall has all those abilities. i use it to automatically route certain callers to vm. you can auto reply to blocked call via sms if u want. you can specify a black list for calls and sms and even add a blocked call to a reminder list!
hope that helps
~j
Here you go. Hope this helps your problems out.. Good luck
Ur welcome
I've given my phone number to some people that i shouldn't give to, so in need of a program that could solve this problem for me, i've come across this one.
back in the times when i used winmo 6.1 you could set the app to block incoming calls, and sms and it wouldn't even show an icon that something happend. the only way to know if this person tried to call you or text you, you should go into the logging area

Anyone know of any good call blocking programs for the kaiser? preferably free?
thanks

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.

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?

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.

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.
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.

i signed up for youmail, but it only let me access the voicemail...how do i get tto the blocked calls and speech to text part
Is there a program that you can set an "away status" that will auto reply to text messages (and possibly calls, but not as important)?
SMS autoreply
Killer mobile Blackballer. Sounds scary but it is a call and SMS filtering software that claims to do that I have not tried it but the price is fairly reasonable, so I may.
Here is the link:
http://www.killermobile.com/newsite...aller--call-&-message-filter--blacklist.htm
I think they have a trial period. If you try it, please provide feedback.
A nice find, and indeed it "supposedly" does what I am asking, but after installing the software and attempting to use it, I uninstalled it in five minutes. Horribly unintuitive, buggy, etc.. thank you for posting, though!
Anyone else know of another program? I found a program called BaseIsReply, but it wont work with the ROM I am using (throws an error).
Found a program called Mobliza.. checking it out now.
hello try this
the phone already has an option doesnt it . i thikn it is only for phone calls tho.
Try Magicall.
Has a whole lot of options, and you can enable and disable it with a simple click.
I've used it for a while, works like a charm.
Try SMS Minder. Works great on my Sprint TP. Here is the link to the thread on XDA.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3138123
It is freeware.
Hey I was wondering, is it possible or is there a current one out there that can do this. I normally keep my phone on vibrate. However would be nice for select contacts to have the ringer turn itself on and be loud so I can make SURE I know to answer the phone at work if I hear my G1, while everything else I can easily miss or ignore.
Same with select text msgs from contacts. Is there anything like this or even possible? Thanks. =)
Would use , would buy if worked great.
My suggestion meantime.
Get or make an mp3 sound file..1 second long , recording of nothing would do. Set that as universal ringtone. Then individuals you want to hear from give them "real" ringtones. Set all rings to "ring and vibrate"
Should work with sms as well although you may need seperate sms prog (chompsms)
Ok Ill give that a try for now, cause yea at work I dont care to answer everyone, but a select few I dont wanna miss at all. Just never good to have your phone always ring when its for someone you dont need to answer.
I would pay for a good app too. =)
also you can try out the app CallWall .. its made exactly for that reason
Call blockers are nice and so, however Ive yet to see one work great. Ill try it tho in hopes that it DOES work well. BUT still the REQ remains since there are calls I wouldnt want blocked, but I would just ignore while I am at work, whereas couple calls I would WANNA make sure I notice.

you can set it to just MUTE calls also!!
also i asked him if he can implement that feature (where it blocks all but a select few) so hopefully he adds that soon
but for now you can just add everyone you want to be in the 'ignore' group to a contact group and then set that filter in the program and set it to only mute
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Cool I will play with it and see how it works out. Ill report back if there is something missing, but if what you say is true, thats a good start.
It works all with Locale - now also with individual notification-settings
A challenge !!!!
Does anyone know of an app which is a 1-click call divert app. I was using one called 'EasyForward' but this no longer works, and has been withdrawn from the market.... can anyone help... PLEASE !! this is an everyday use app.....
Thanks
Ian
PS: The app enables the phone to direct all incoming calls to a user defined number....
what no one ???? no one knows of a way to do this ????
Well, I could code one, but it will take some time. Meanwhile, if you're using Sense, you can set send calls directly to voice mail through the People app. Just edit your contact and check the "Send call directly to voice mail" option.
Could you code one ?? I would gladly PayPal you a few quid for your troubles, this would be of such use to me,, Basically I have 2 mobiles, one I use for work, and one for home. I want to be able just to click divert or cancel when i go to work, or come home, as I dont want to have to tell everyone 2 numbers. Also my HERO is too good a phone to risk getting damaged at work,,,,,,
Hey Ian, I'm a little busy but it's not that hard to code, just that I'm not too sure if it'd work on a 2.1 phone. I'm still a novice at Android coding, so give me a couple of days since I still have a Android assignment to complete for school. Meanwhile, since you're on sense, just go to Settings > Call settings > Call forwarding > Always forward. Give me a couple more days and I'll get you your app.
Thanks mate, but the pic is a bit out of date. I am using (and will continue to use) EzHero 1.0 / 2.1 -update 1 as it is, for me, the bees knees and does everything I want. fast, smooth and stable. If you could create one to work on this, I would be forever in your debt....
Cant wait....... YOU LIFE SAVER !!!
Ian
Alright no problem, I know a universal way already. I shall start working on it now, a couple of hours should suffice.
You could always go onto the market and get "Easy call forwarding" free...
Once set up with number you want to divert to, it is one touch only enable and disable.
Use it all the time when switching between phones.
Cheers Phil-w
i would, but the developer has removed all support saying it was not getting support, so I can not install it on my phone now I have reflashed... I was using that for months and it was great,, thats my problem, now I can not install it...

Didn't you have a nandroid ? Otherwise you could get the apk from the nandroid ?
i know, and you are right, but earlier today i wiped the sd card... i do it every now and then,,, so no, i dont...
Hey Ian, I've completed the prototype, I'll be publishing it to the Market in a short while. I'm still trying to make it save the number you want so you won't have to re-enter it again. I'm trying to recode what Easy Call Forwarding had from scratch, so give me some time before it's as good.
mate, thats great.. what have you called it so I know what to look for ?
Hey Ian, sorry for the late reply. It's called Quick Forward.
downloading now mate,, will send you a PM.
cancell is not working mate....
Do you have a custom prefix? Because I implemented the standard prefix.

i dont understand what you mean mate ??? i simply put in the mobile number to divert to,, 078........
Alright Ian, let's talk on IM, it's faster. PMed you my MSN.
You could always create couple of contacts in your contacts list.
1 for divert cancel containing ##21#
1 for divert containing **21*07966666666# (put your mobile in here !)
Then just use +, shortcut, Person, then select the person i.e Divert or divert cancel.. (or what ever you have saved them as) and place on one of the panels home or where ever you fancy.
Works great on the UK Orange network..
