How do you block a contact?
I have a contact named "Junk" to which I add all garbage numbers to, and set that contact to go directly to voicemail in the contact settings.
I believe in order to actually block a number you would have to go through your carrier?
I use an app called Mr. Number and it's worked perfectly for me. Been using that for about a year now actually. Has some nice little extras too besides just pure blocking.
There are lots of apps on the Play Store that do this very thing.
You cannot do this without a third party app
i keep getting spam calls from the same number recently, and I went online to my verizon account to block the number. however, when I tried to apply it, I got an error message saying that I could not block it. interestingly, the system applied the block to my wife's iPhone.
is there an alternative way to block calls aside from a 3rd party app?
thanks!

Some ROMs have that feature built in -- like CM. That's not "3rd party app".
Call Blocking in CyanogenMod

Other than that, I use RCB blocker, but I'm rooted and it's a 3rd party app.

if it was a landline number you could use this service:

But it doesn't work with cell phones.
finally got it figured out. had to have a chat with VZW and they had to enable "blocking calls and messages" feature on my account. i couldn't do it myself online, only on their end.
What I've done is create a contact called Block, tick the box to send to voicemail, and then set ringtone to none. You can add more than one number to this contact. Naturally this only works for numbers that you can save.
I use this. Works great. Xposed.

I've noticed that at least two apps will mysteriously stop working in the background, causing problems:
First, most important, I use my Google Voice number, not my SIM number, so I need Google Voice to be running so that it intercepts my calls and uses the right phone number to make calls. If I open Google Voice, it will work for a few hours, maybe a day, and then GV stops working and calls start going out through my SIM number.
The other app that exhibits this behavior is Garmin Connect -- my watch gives me notifications, but then, for no reason, it will stop working. Opening Garmin Connect solves the problem.
I have ensured all permissions are set as liberally as possible, even the "allow autostart" option. Not sure what else to do. Any ideas would be great. I did not have this problem with my Mi 8.
Thanks!
I think I had a similar problem with the Runtastic app that I use for running: After around one minute of screen off time it would stop getting GPS data.
I fixed it by adding it to the list of apps that is allowed to run in the background. You can find this setting in the power and battery settings ("Akku & Leistung" in German).
I think you are talking about the Battery Saver > Choose apps ("Saving power in the background") list. In that list, you can set background settings for each app. I had both of these apps already set to the most liberal setting, "No restrictions (Battery saver doesn't restrict app's activity)". I changed them both to the second setting, "Battery saver (recommended)", which seems to be an automated, smart method the phone uses.
I also decided to try turning off the Use Adaptive Battery setting ("Limit battery for apps that you don't use often"). Maybe this is the culprit.
Any luck there yet? My vivo active hr does not even show live notifications....
Has anyone figured out a way to use the block number feature on the google phone app? Asus apparently wants you to use asus contacts as the default phone app to allow number blocking. I have tried debloating Asus Phone & Contact apps and making Google Phone a System Priv App. But the same message still persists. Does anyone have any ideas to get around this restriction?
Hello is it possible to block incoming calls unless in my contact list. I have tried the do not disturb function and it still shows the number who called in my call log. Is there a way to block it so it just doesn't ring or go to voicemail or show in my call log. Spam calls getting annoying now thanks in advance
@Pixel5xD Sounds much like the old Call/Message block that I recall when I was using the SG3/SG4.
May need to try a 3rd party application to achieve this on Pixel, but I can't say for sure::

I know this is a few months old, but I've been using Calls Blacklist Pro and it does exactly what you're asking. I needed something like the old CM dialer that blocked anything not in my contacts list. I've tried just about everything out there and this is the only one that really works for me.

The app hasn't been updated in 2 years and spammers have found a way around it. I've found I don't get as many with the native Google dialer block but I still get some. The good thing is I now have a brand new warranty for my car that I sold 3 years ago. In the description is says you can block any number after they call. That is pointless since you will never get a repeat caller, they just move to the next number on their list. The new government protocol is useless too, they've gotten around that as well. I do wish they would have a global block like (area code)+first 3 digits of your phone number. Nonetheless, I'm down to about one or two a day from 10 previously.

I'm still using the app and I have never gotten a spam call because I block everything that isn't on my contacts list. That was the point of the thread. He was looking for something that blocked everything but the contacts.

I get that. But look at the reviews saying it doesn't work any longer. Non contact calls still getting through. They need to update the app I believe.
edit: does the native spam blocker in the dialer not work with contacts only? I do wish there was an option that spam gets a "this is not a working number" message instead of ringing silently or screening. I also think a global block like (620) - 345* would be a good thing since many calls are spoofed from my area code + my first 3 numbers.
Lastly to the OP @Pixel5xD How do you handle calls from businesses or medical offices not on your contact list? If those get blocked and don't even screen you must miss a lot of appointments.
In the Phone app, go to Settings > Spam and Call Screen > Call Screen. Enable "automatically screen" or "Silently decline" for spam, possibly faked numbers, first time callers, and private/hidden. The only calls that should come through are your contacts or numbers that have called before. When the Assistant is screening a call, remember to use the "Block/Report Spam" option on numbers you don't want to get repeat calls from.
