salut!
i'm seeking for soft for Windows Mobile 6 (HTC Touch HD), and there's a vast number of these, but i cannot find what i exactly need.
subject: filtering of incoming calls and sms
feature: only VIP calls and sms can come in (10-20 men), all other calls and sms must be muted(silenced) without hanging up the phone.
wish: soft must be started and stopped with ease.
problem: all software i inspected whether either hangs up the phone (unacceptable), or too commercial and heavy.
do you have any recomendations?
How about this option - use this app to assign to categories of contacts different sound files.
VipPimRingTone - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309837
Then use VIP category with a sound file and all others with an empty sound file.
i have two situations:
1)i'm ok. phone must accept all calls
2)i'm with girl A. phone must not ring when girl B calls whatever telephone she uses for that. VIP (boss, close friends, mom) should be able to call normally
i must switch between modes 1 and 2 regularly

Oh I see - sorry, the VIPpim thing is not good for your need.
Perhaps PPCProfiles might do it. Have a look here: http://www.modaco.com/content/ppcprofiles-pro/202004/ppcprofiles-pro/
I have not used it - I don't have a complicated love life !!
Good luck, D.

Is there a way to block certain callers from incoming calls to your phone ???\
maybe buy a filter or software , that works with WM6 ????
Call Barring is available mainly through your service provider. There's a piece of software that "blocks" calls but I think it works differently. Probably, it still allows the caller to call you, just that the person will be ignored or sent to voicemail.
The only piece of software I could find is Novosec SmartFilter:

Try the demo to see if it works before you commit to anything. Hope this helps!
I have been using a software called Magicall. It works very well for me both in WM5 and WM6. Here is the link:

Try this one, it is free
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307178&highlight=call+firewall
I use this one
http://www.winmobileapps.com/device/pocketpc/csb/csb.aspx
You have to buy it but it is an excellent program and value for money. It also blocks sms and links to your phone book too.
I use photocontacts. I does alot of things, like diferent ringtones and/or photos for each group or person. And it also has profiles where u can define what to do for every person or each group (ignore,hangup, mute, etc,etc)
Well thanks guys , I tried the free 1 first , but a had afew problems with it , so i then tried Magicall , and this works perfect , cheers

Also spb phone suite has black list for incoming calls. And it has a very good today plugin, with all the counters and profiles. In my opinion is one the best apps for a ppc phone.

unless you have a phone that needs a PIN code before starting up. SPB does not provide this. Therefore their profiles doen't work that good....they can switch OFF the phone but not switch ON!!
i use my TP2 for both personal and work, and its on 24/7, but i would like to automatically divert business calls(as defind in the caterogy section in outlook, when you hit edit contact - more)
ideally iwould like to be able to select a category and choose if i want ot divert that to voicemail
if it could also define it to auto divert the category based on day and time and if possible based on calender entry or defineable.
also if it could change my profile as well that would be amazing.
so does anyone know how i could go about doing this

I'd strongly recommend "Magicall" by Mobiion ( http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html )
It can definitely divert via Category; not sure if it can do it by the type of number (business; home) as I've not tried that yet

that is perfect (on the face of it, havnt tested it in the field as yet) i just want to block certain people during certian times, and they are stored ascertain categories.
i hope that the "hang up" option diverts to my voice mail,
and to be able to SMS them as "sorry im on holiday" text is just the iceing on the cake
thanks

Yes - that's exactly what 'hangup' does (same as pressing the red button on any other mobile.
I do think it's a little confusing as to what magicall has named the following operations:
Magicall 'Ignore' = Do nothing, other than mute the ringer
Magicall 'Hangup' = Divert Immediately to voicemail (i.e. 'do not disturb')
I use Magicall primarily for handling outgoing International and/or calls to mobiles. I have different international calling cards set up, and whenever I dial anything other than a US domestic number I get Magicall to change the outgoing number and use a calling card. Saves me $$$, and allows me to use different calling cards for different countries/types of call automatically.
I'm considering writing a small app that will allow me to set and/or toggle individual rules within Magicall for a period of time (I often want to just hit a 'do not disturb' button as I get called into an unscheduled meeting, diverting most calls to VM without actually turning off the phone or manually creating a meeting to say I'm busy)
As you hit the button it would allow you to specify a time period; if that was about to expire the phone would vibrate to alert you, if you did nothing the rule would be re-enabled). I've only been using Magicall for a couple of weeks, but I think this would be a very useful addon (and would work well - there's already a command line interface for external apps to control rules)
If anyone thinks that would be useful, let me know - not sure how many Magicall users there are around here! (I'm not associated with them - just a happy customer!)

Hello,
After searching google, xda and ppc geeks. I can't seem to find a way to switch from say vibrate mode to ring (loud) based on the number that is calling me. (caller id).
I found a lot of programs to switch based on location, or type of contact (missed call, email and such)..
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Not sure if it does it by person, but years ago I had 2 different apps that would change my profiles for me...you can research them...
photo contacts pro
call firewall
Again, I really don't know if they can work on a call by call basis or if it is just for time frames, etc...but its a place to start. Sorry I can't help more.
Found the solution...
Business Pro v6.x
It allowed me to create a vip profile and put my wife and our company Emergency Alert phone number listed as by pass.
I keep my phone on vibrate during business hours. This will bypass that setting and ring the phone for only the 2 numbers.

Yesss....and silent for that 'special lady' on the side....
First of all Good Day to all.
The reason I'm here is out of frustration. I have read this site for a long time, but never joined. I'm coming here because there are a lot of very knowledgeable people that may have the answer that I have been looking for and up until now can not find.
I NEED an app that seems to be impossible to find, at lease for me. What I need is an app that will allow a selected group of people to call AND text with notifications without other notifications sounding. I want a "set it forget it" app that once set it will do this automatically every night.
The Note 4 has a "Blocking mode" which would be perfect if it would allow both SMS notifications and call notifications to come through for a selected group of people without having to check all notifications to come through.
I have sons that seem to never call and only text when checking in. I set my phone to go silent at around 12 and come back on at 6am. With this, calls will come through for my favorites but in order for text sounds to come through I have to allow all sounds to come through which defeats the silent mode.
Is there such a thing? Is this impossible to do? Am I doing something wrong in settings?
Can you please advise? Thanking you in advance.
Google tasker block calls and text. It may work for you. Did a quick read and some had made profiles that of you weren't in contacts it would block them, or send to voice mail... hope that helps

I needed something to allow text and calls through not block them. I wanted a simple app that I could set a time to turn off all sounds at night and then turn them back on in the morning. In this time frame I wanted to allow a group of people to be able to either text or call me and it would ring, blocking all others contacts and notifications. There is a ton of apps that will allow calls to come through but not too many that will allow both calls and text to come through.
I just downloaded an app and I will give it a try. It's called. CritiCall Pro. This isn't an all inclusive app so I will use it with the "Blocking mode" that is installed in the Note 4.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
Try the app Do Not Disturb from playstore. It lets you control messages and phone calls during quiet hours and any other time of the day that you choose. There is a trial version and paid version.
Try automateit. It's not specifically for this but you can set triggers to silent certain numbers or silent all numbers except the ones you want to go through.
Maybe blacklist is the one for you

I just downloaded this and it looks like just what I wanted. How I missed this is beyond me since I have been looking for months. Thank you so much. Now crossing my fingers that it works as describes.

Call blocker... native to the Note 4... will do what I think you want it to do. You can turn off sounds for a specified time, yet allow specified callers to call or text and have the notification sound work.

Yep. Native blocking will do it. No need for third party app.
Good luck...

The Note 4 native app is great if I only wanted to allow/block calls, I want it to be able to allow text and calls from a group and in order to do that I have to a not block notifications and by doing that it allows all notifications to chime through email, calendar etc. If they would separate notifications and text alerts there would be no problem.
So far the "Do not Disturb" app is doing what I need it to. It allows both Text and Calls to come through from a group without all the other notifications that I don't want. I will continue to see if this works out without any hiccups.
I have my eSIM configured in my Pixel Watch LTE, and all is working fine so far. However, from time to time I'd look to have my little son wear the watch, when he is out and about alone by himself, so he can call me in case he gets lost, or I can find his location. Generally, this works, but the problem is that the watch also rings when I receive calls: The eSIM is a MultiSIM of my Vodafone contract, so it has the same number as mine in my main phone. Of course I don't want my son to receive my phone calls on the watch.
Is there any way of disabling incoming phone calls, or the the notifications / vibrations of them? Or, ideally, disabling the signaling of any incoming call except if it comes from a certain number (like my own landline)?

I haven't received the watch yet, but it should have Do Not Disturb settings which you should be able to configure as you wish. For instance, your son could receive calls from Starred contacts only, while all the others are blocked.
Edit: See here
" Do Not Disturb: Turn off all notifications and silence incoming calls. Press and hold to customize exceptions for priority and repeat callers, alarms, and media sounds. "
That's the perfect solution, thank you very much!
