Hi, love the built in call blocking functions on my Galaxy Note 2 and Do Not Disturb on iOS 6. Looking for a similar app for my N4. What are you guys using, what do you recommend? Thanks!
I use EasyFilter. Handles call and message blocking nicely for me.

Root Call Blocker. You wont even know SMS or CALL is blocked. it will never ring. Just blocks it right from the start. Of coarse, you can still have it notify you with each block..
Thanks guys, I will give those a shot.
i would also suggest Root Call Blocker.. I have been using that for a while.

Can you set this up so that from like, midnight to 7am, it blocks all calls EXCEPT for those from specific people on your contact list?
If so that's pretty sweet.

Yes, it will do a call blocking schedule.. you would set up a particular black list, then can schedule what times it goes in affect, can even specify which days. or the pro version does any way.. But for me it was worth the money
Very worth it. its the only call blocker that actually works and doesn't ring. It let's the system know that the number is on your blacklist and doesn't allow it to ring..

I've got a question about Root call blocker. The miss calls don't end up in my normal call log, but instead go to a log inside of root call blocker. Is there a way to set it so that the missed calls show up in my normal dialer? Other than this, Root Call Blocker does everything I want it to. I'm so sick of work wasting my minutes every month. I need something like this that will block everything but a whitelist, but I really want the miss calls to show up in my call log, not have to check a second app for that.
After some more research and playing around, I don't think Root Call Blocker is capable of this. What I'm looking for is an app that will forward an incoming call to voicemail unless the number is in my contacts. That way I don't have to hear the phone ring, but it still shows up as a missed call in the log. I "might" be interested in having the phone ring for non-contacts if someone calls me repeatedly, because I'd know it was important.
The Play store has some apps that claim that they can do this, but reviews say that none of them do it well, and they require the user to keep the ringer & notifications muted. This means if you are doing something you will be interrupted for the duration of the phone ringing, and the phone will display the incoming call screen. It also means that you will get no notification sounds through the phone for any apps. This won't work at all.
Any suggestions for me? Root call blocker would be awesome if calls showed up in the dialer log. It would be perfect if you could set it to allow repeated calls through.

Tasker is amazing and you could get everything you want set up. Youtube has several tutorials on how to use tasker if you have trouble, it can be a little tricky at first but its one of the most useful apps out their.

I'll look into Tasker. I didn't think to even try it out. I'll do some YouTubing and searching around the web to see what I can figure out. I think it would take a few profiles to do what I want it to do:
1. Non Contacts are sent to Voicemail, missed call shows up in the call log, phone never rings.
2. If a non-contact calls me twice or more in 2 minutes, let the call go through to the phone.
3. Contacts calls work as normal.
4. Putting Ringtones & Notifications volume to mute should not be required.

Ive used two years not cant get enough.
Root Call Blocker. Fantastic app and works silently, blocking and not notifying you of texts or calls (can alter settings so that you do receive a notification if you prefer).

Call Master does everything I want except show the missed / blocked calls in the call log. I have to use its call log to see what I missed. That's not the end of the world for me though. So far Call Master does what I want the best.

I have searched for the answer but can only find general profile info which is not what i want...
Last phone was a nokia, and you could set up on certain profiles that certain groups of people could come through and ring normally when the phone was on silent. This was ace for me as i would leave it on for wife and family etc.. (emergencies) but every other person the phone would be silent and not wake me up!
For the love i cannot find a way of doing this with the desire - it seems either all silent or all on!
Can anyone help me with this please or is it not possible yet??
Cheers all
Google for "Call Filter, Call Block, Call Blocker, Block Calls, Filter Calls", there are quite a few apps out there that do it.
Try looking for "FoxyRing" on the market. Does exactly what you want and loads more!
When i decline a call i want the phone to treat that call as a missed one. Generally i reject calls during meetings and i want to have a reminder. The iphone had this functionality.
If someone knows a way to do this, please leave a reply.

The Any.Do app does that for me.
It pops up a reminder if i disconnect or miss a call.

Tank you. It does the job but a message in the notification center would be nice. I remember now using Any.Do before it had this functionality.
So when an incoming call comes in, I can't do anything else until I either accept or reject.
I need to be able to just ignore, so from the perspective of the incoming caller it finishes the full ring cycle before going to voicemail. While that is happening, though, I don't want to be stuck losing the use of my device.
So am I missing a setting somewhere? I haven't found an app to allow just a simple ignore function either - so trying to figure out if this function exists or I need to make it.
Thanks!
If you find a way please share

Would the "turn over to mute incoming calls" work?

Too often I will be on youtube or on the browser when my phone rings. I wanted to know if theres any possible way to leave the incoming call screen without rejecting the call. I want to go back to what I was doing without sending the call straight to voice mail. Its so frustrating to have to wait for it to finish ringing. Thanks.

Yea it seems like there should be a way to make calls ring in the background. I wonder if anyone has ever tried making a mod for it.
Hello guys,
I'm looking to have a call blocker similar to Root Call Blocker but for not rooted devices.
Actually, i'm looking to have an option of blocking calls with "Continue Ringing, OR Mute"
You can use Tasker to block/mute incoming callers that's not in your contacts. I have been doing that for several years now, except I have it to accept the call, wait 1 second and then hang up. Doing it this way keeps callers from leaving voice mail.
