Does anyone have any experience with this app from the market?

Why bother? There is a blacklist on your phone already that blocks calls....
I use that, however I haven't figured out how to block unknown numbers is why I ask. Also, the built in app allows blocked callers to leave voicemail

Only thing I notice with this app is that it shut off data at reboot and takes a bit to turn back on. Other than that, it works as it should

All apps will take the caller to voicemail unless you call tmobile and tell them to change it. I had to do it when I used the call blocker app on vibrant before I found the blacklist. After you have tmo change it, if you stop the ring by rejecting the call or if they are on blacklist, it will ring busy. If you let the call "ring out" for lack of a better term, it will take the caller to voicemail. Also, there should be a tab in the blacklist to reject unknown callers.
thanks for the info very helpful
it would help if I had the Unknown number checked in the auto reject options
thanks again
i have used "MR. Number" from Market and it worked pretty good for me.
I use extreme call blocker. and you can set it like pick up and hang up. found in the market
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.

Check your sound and ringtone settings.. It might be that the sound you had setup is no longer working or has been deleted, or whatever. Try other ringtones.
ok i trying that, how about this i have a tone that on my blackberry it was a notifer, but on the Epic is showing only as a ringtone and wont give it to me as a option for a notifier tone?
Also do you have any call blocking or call screening apps? Had one of those and most of the time the phone wouldn't ring. Deleted it and phone worked perfectly/ Sprint allows call number blocking via their website.
Try zedge in the market for all of your ringtone, notification, and wallpaper needs.

That's the problem then. You don't need it.

They hide it well. Under My Preferences scroll down to permissions to Block Voice.

Thank You very much for this info......I've been using Mr. Number and I too have had some issues w/ my sound dropping off and I have to reboot to fix it. Hopefully uninstalling Mr. Number will fix it. Updating my Sprint account to ignore the #'s instead! Damn solicitors!!!!!!!!!!!
does anyone know of a call blocker that does not run in the background?
Google voice does this and much more for free. You can block numbers, send specific numbers directly to voicemail, set up different voicemail messages for different numbers, get transcriptions of voice messages, etc.

There isn't a built in way to do it. Not in standard Android at least. I use the app "DND Call Blocker" to block calls from unknown numbers and from a black list. Seems to be a very lightweight app and does the job well.
i couldnt find the built it one, but i will try the one you just said
If you add the number to a contact, then you can set "All calls to voicemail". But if you want to skip voicemail also, then I have no idea if it can be done in software on the phone.
Hello guys..
Need help, its important.
I need a call/sms blocker app which successfully blocks calls/sms without any notification. Just like in the old samsung phones which had a blacklist and blocked call without notifying users that a call has been blocked. I tried the NQ call blocker app, It works good but leaves a notification about the blocked call in the log and fastlane.
Can u please help me with this either by stopping the notification or name me an app that does it without notification.
I use a Nokia X dual SIM.

"Call Control - Call Blocker" is a call/sms blocker I use and often recommend. It works really well. Simply click the "Settings" tab and you can disable all notifications, including icon, and blocked sms/calls. A community blacklist has also been implemented to help eliminate calls from known telemarketers etc. View here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flexaspect.android.everycallcontrol
Note: This app includes a log of all blocked calls. However, if you disable the notifications, you won't ever see this.
Also another great call/sms blocker is "Calls Blacklist - Call Blocker". View here - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vladlee.easyblacklist
Thanks
I tried the Calls Blacklist - Call Blocker, it didn't work. It allowed the blacklisted number, but will try the Call Control. If it doesn't work I'll get back to this thread.
Thanks for the help.

Oops ancient post. Lol.
Nevermind. Surely you've found one. Aying with new XDA LABS APP so tinkering a bit but forgetting to look at post dates hahha
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if there's a built-in call blocker for unwanted calls or I have to download an app.
I couldn't find any options in the phone app.
Thanks!
No, there isn't a built in call blocker. You can use a custom dialer like truecaller or if you're rooted you can flash google dialer which has in built call blocker.
Thanks a lot!
I use the Google Dialer. It has a nice Block Caller/Report SPAM feature.

There is a call blocker located within the call settings which can be used to block individual numbers!

Finally, I've found it! But It seems to block all the incoming calls, or none. But I get network error anyway.
Calls Blacklist Pro app what I use has schedule and keeps my away from job calls after hours and turns back on @ work time. Can also add individual calls to block.
So the reason I'm asking this question is because as you know in the u.s. the robo calls are outrageous. In the Samsung phone app you can block and report those numbers. But the numbers still show up in your recent list which to me is annoying. In the options you can pick which calls to show but then you'll miss out on seeing the other types of calls. I downloaded the Google dialer app and while it works it doesn't give you an option to block calls. If you click on the info button for that call you can't block it so that's a no go for me.
So what dialer app are you guys using that lets you block calls but also doesn't show those numbers when you block them?

try truecaller, its good although there is a lot of in your face ads asking for you to buy premium
Drupe is my pick - same about ads though - but awhile back I bought lifetime pro features and never looked back - it does the best at automatically IDing caller ID, handling blocked calls, recording, recents, favorites, and everything else I'm looking for in a dialer app. I hope you like it too! (It's totally worth giving a try even with the free version for a while)
Nothing better than https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hb.dialer.free
