Greetings ,
i am a new HTC one user , the phone is fantastic overall , but i have a (big) problem , i want to block sms or calls from specific numbers - contacts , but i dont want to use the native "Block Contact" option because its easy visible in tough situations, so i bought a couple of apps for calls /sms blocking such as hide it Pro , call control pro and call blocker .I register the numbers that i want to block the calls and sms from, but not even 1 app can actually block the call , the best case scenario is to decline the call after 0.5-1 sec (since you can see the contact which calling you) and show the notification icon on the top of the screen (i dont have any issue with the sms , all the apps work good with incoming sms ) .So i wonder if there is anything else i can do because in my last phone (samsung galaxy note 2) those apps worked just fine .
I looking forward to your answer , i really need some help here.
Kind Regards

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:

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
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
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.
is it possible to add a contacts number to a block list so that i don't receive anything from then.
i've been having some annoying text and calls and was just wondering whether this was possible on the diamond or not as i could do this on my old samsung u600
By far the best application for doing this is called MagiCall.
I use it to block annoying companies from calling me.
There are many options with what you wanna do with each call it blocks - eg just reject it, or pick it up and then drop it instantly (avoids the companies getting through to voicemail)
You have to pay for this application though. If you want to talk more about purchasing it, PM me
callfirewall 1.4 is an alternative to the above.
I personally recommend callfirewall, link given above. thats the best & simple one, plus its free. Cheers.
Has anybody else been a little not so happy that calling & text rejection/blocking are tied together & not separate like it use to be? Meaning you cant block 1 or the other but have to block both. I know some block calls & messages from a number they don't want to communicate with but me & im sure a lot of others have reasons to block calls & not messages or the other way around. With that said i figured out a way to get to a setting where you can pick to just block calls so messages aren't blocked also. The settings in our phone but not visible like a few other settings like the hd voice/volte setting. There is also a little trick you can do with the hidden setting so you can remove calls from the blocked list so just the messages are blocked & not calls. Id have to type up the instructions & post the pics for how to do this so if anyone would like to know how you can just let me know in here & I'll gladly put up the instructions on how to do it. It's very easy but I'd like to see if others need this as much as i did before i take the time to add the pics & instructions on how to enable the settings to do this.
