Thanks. I haven't rooted yet. This may be a task for later. Was hoping someone might have had good experience with something from the play store.

Hiya is pretty good. It doesn't require root, has blocking capabilities (though not before it rings once, usually). I'm not sure how resource hungry it is.

I am also looking for some way to have Full or Half screen caller id pictures like I used to have on my Xperia XZ Premium!

Call Firewall

Hey guys, I'm thinking of upgrading from a Tmobile Dash to a G1 but need to know if there is a program on the Android platform similar to the CallFirewall program on Windows where it will take an incoming call and sends it directly to voicemail if on the blacklist. It's actually a deal breaker for me as I love the flexible whitelist / blacklist options on CallFirewall.
Thanks!
How does that functionality built into the os tickle your fancy?
In every contact entry there's a checkbox that says "send calls to voicemail" it makes it so your phone doesn't ring or show the call, the missed call is in the log but no notification... and best yet to the person on the phone its as if you haven't done a thing... rings all the way to VM
there's a callblocker app on the market for free.

Yes, its by bratag =] requires root access, so root your phone before downloading.
What does that mean? Root your phone?
Also, could someone tell me how many contacts the phone will hold?
I'm leaning toward getting one.

Android is linux based and the super user account is called 'root', there is various ways to root android phones and you can even buy an ADP (Android Developer Phone) which comes by default with super user access enabled.

Android (not just G1) uses SQLite to store information and depending on ram etc it's for all intents and purpose limitless.
Cool, thanks about the contacts.
Still not sure what the root thing means, but with a built in call blocker I guess it doesn't really matter

i cant seem to find the bratag app... anyone has a clue??
is there an app that lets you receive just the calls from a whitelist and block all other?
Check this out

Works amazingly.
I also can't find bratag's call blocker on the market anymore. Does anyone still have a copy of the app?

Blocking numbers on Z1

I was looking for an option to block certain numbers from calling like every android device seem to have, but I find none. Did they actually take their time to remove this feature?

I am not sure if it was there in the first place, but there are tons of apps in the play store that does this, the one I used to use is
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.baole.app.blacklist&hl=en
but now I use tasker which does alot more than this, it actually made me use it instead of over 10 apps, saving me storage an RAM
Tried one of those blocker apps and I don't like them cause the phone still rings once before the app hangs up for you.
With the standard android blocker which Sony seems to have taken an effort to remove, it won't even show up as a call.
I feel your pain

Feeling your pain dude. They did go through the trouble to remove that awesome and important feature. I hate them for it. None of the reps even know it use to exist. I for one used the feature all the time. It erased all information about the contact when blocked it was great. Bump ad! Sony give us our feature back!

Yeah interesting, this option was available on my Xperia Z, definately can't find it now, just to send the contact to voice mail.
There is a good blacklist module available for Xposed framework.

Hiding caller number

Hi,
I have galaxy note 5 with android version 6.0.1.
When someone calls me, the phone will display both the name & number of the caller. I'd like to hide the phone number when somebody calls me and display the name only. Just like the iPhone.
I've searched a lot but I couldn't find a solution. I'll really appreciate your solution on this.
Regards
Perhaps you need a custom phone app other than the native one.

No I'm not talking about the service provider. In the iPhone if someone calls you you will see only the name of the caller that you have saved, while in Android will show both the name and phone number! And want to hide the phone number.
I've attached 2 pictures to give you more understanding.

I think it must be phone app which determine whether to show only the name or both the name and phone number.
Anyone can advise which app may I use?
No is getting displayed on Call screen not in the dialer app, so I don't think so any app will be able to change it.
I boat the galaxy note 7 and also has the same limitations. Really disappointing.
I'll be really glad if someone can develop a specialized app and I'm willing to pay for this is favir.

You can use an overlay mod app with no root that it will increase the photo call 150%.....you just install this super small app with zero battery effect and restart the phone.... You try it and if it doesn't work just install it again with no restart this time....
It works perfect on Note 8 exynos EU latest December update and earlier....

Keep in mind it will work but it's not a 100% port, no voicemail tab and spam will work but force close every time you choose a number to spam

So I was able to get it installed with adb and the setting that you posted a screenshot of is present and toggled on, however I am not getting caller ID info on any number that has called. We tested several different numbers to no avail. Any ideas?
The only official releases that broadly work on most android phones are the "go" versions.
Latest one is from Dec 17th, 2018:

Caller ID and Spam blocking does work. Voicemail tab works as well but carrier dependent

I was able to successfully install the version you mentioned in your post, but I was still not getting caller id working, I noticed that there was more than one version of the apk you linked. One was for nodpi the other was 240 dpi, which did you install?

get the nodpi version.
For caller ID, you need to go into the phone settings and enable nearby locations (and give the location permission).
I'm trying out this one:

It seems to work. I can make calls and receive calls. I don't get the "Your device is not supported" message anymore. I haven't tested out caller id or spam yet.

For those who have installed the Google dialer and claim that caller id works, can you please verify if you mean enhanced caller id which shows a name, number, and city or just plain caller id that shows number and sometimes city/state. Thanks in advance.

My CallerID is working but only as far as it is a CONTACT I already know of. Not the spam detection. I have no idea how they get the unknown-contact caller ID.
My S10e has the Hiya! powered Samsung one for the main dialer.
Just an FYI, my only interest in using the Google dialer was for enhanced caller id. For some reason when I first got the phone I tried Hiya and it did not display unknown names. I downloaded it again today and upon opening it asked for permission for overlays. This didn't occur on the 1st install. Upon allowing this permission, I am now getting the enhanced caller id functions in Hiya. It even updated my recent call list to show the names of the unknown numbers I called or received calls from yesterday. Hopefully this can be a solution for those in this thread looking for that functionality.

Hey, thanks.
Are you referring to the full Hiya or just what came installed on the S10? (Snapdragon here)
