Hi all,
Does anyone know of any Android apps which can block incoming calls. I need to know a decent one as I have heard that some apps out there actually block calls which you DO NOT want to block!
Many thanks
Sunny

I use extreme call blocker and it does exactly what your looking for and most anything you can think of. Give it a try I am sure you will like it...
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.
There's also the blacklist feature that came with the phone and cyanogen roms

Any one knows any app for wp7 to block unwanted calls and sms.. ?
Bump. I'd like the same thing. I have blacklist on my Android phone and I love it.
There are some applications in Marketplace that would block a number depending of the prefix they're calling from, but dont see any apps for blocking specific numbers.

what is the application name to block number by prefix ?
I'd like this as well, it's the only reason I'm still on Android.
Bump
Ain't there no need for this software? I really don't understand how there is no Call Blocker App since WP7 launch.
I really need one too. I was already thinking of trying to write one myself but then again: i have a fulltime job and a life
Please dev's! Go for it! There seems to be SOME requests...
Crude work around is to add the number with a silent ringtone, not great but an option
Yea. Dumb situation.

have same problem. i am looking for SMS filler and call time manager still now.
Hi all !
I realy need a WORKING call (and sms maybe) blocker. Don't care if it's free or paid app, i'm ready to spend some money.
I just want that the app redirect unwanted calls directly to my voicemail without ANY ringing.
Can you suggest me some apps ?
Cheers !
If the phone is rooted, any Root call blocker app will work. It's is not rooted, "Droid call blocker Xtreme" works, just go to settings and change to LG mode.
Thx for your reply, but i've already tried a lot of apps (for root or non-root), but they all let the caller ear t least one ringing before go to voicemail or block... I don't want that ringing at all... but don't know if it's possible
That is possible. I've tried Xtreme Call Blocker in boypes modded cm7, worked flawlessly without root. Just try 2-3 apps, play with the block settings.
Call Blocker is working very nice

Hi,
I have a nexus 6 with Afirewall blocker installed with lollipo 5.1 .Before the update when i was on 5.01 i used to be able to type in a code to get to the firewall and see my text and calls that were blocked etc. Now with the update if i have a normal sms come through, once i put the code in , it just takes me to the sms screen and not the Afirewall blocker.
Is there another way to block sms and calls on 5.1?

I haven't found any decent working SMS blocker for Android 5.x... they all need to be your default SMS app which kinda sucks. The only SMS app with a usefull blocking feature is Handcent SMS but it is way too big for a simple SMS app. Textra's blocking feature is really bad and hard to use. Especially when you want to add e.g. 60 numbers to the blacklist.. it will take you.. 1 hour?
call master seems to be working on 5.1

Actually I am not sure but I would guess so. The description says it works at system level for better performance.

Is there a way to get these features/options. They are minor but have a major effect to the ease of useage. Both are stock huawei apps and i cant find similar in samsung. Is there a 3rd party app that can be used to get them.
For dialer, it will show you how much the caller rang for missed calls (so you would know if it was a full ring or 2 seconds)
Calendar app, when you click on any date it will show how far is that date from today
Appreciate if someone knows a 3rd party app that does this
lol why do you want to know how long someone rang you for?!

It will give an indication of whether it was just a missed call (rang for 5 seconds) or a legit call (rang for 50 seconds), may help you decide what to tell your friends etc...
yea but arent they both missed calls?!

Theoretically yes. You may not care, but for me sometimes its important to know if the caller rang only one ring and closed or have been calling for a whole minute. It's just a simple feature that was available on native huawei dialer app.
