call blocking - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone had any problems using the call blocker feature on the G3? I have used this feature extensively on the HTC One X that i had before the G3 but ive found that when i try to add a number to the reject calls list, however when the call, erm, calls again, the call is shown onscreen again? surely if its on the reject list, surely it should auto reject it?
any ideas?

Disable auto answer ...

Does anyone know how to disable the auto answer feature when the phone is connected to a bluetooth device? I currently use the Desire with the Blue & Me and the phone always answer when i have a second call.
Very strange, nobody else has this? The problem is when you are on a call then the phone auto answers the second call and puts the first one on hold instead of activating call waiting. If the phone is on standby and receive a call does not auto answer...
I get incoming calls often enough but never have any auto answer. I have the option to answer or to hang up the second call I guess it's probably some settings somewhere......the fun of using Android
Seems like a headset setting run amock. There isn't even an option in the OS to auto-answer a second incoming call, just to enable call waiting.

Did you ever figure it out cause. I'm having the same issue. really frustrating actually. (in the middle of an important call and it just interupts my phone call)

[Q] Missed call notification when declining incoming call

By default in AOSP, if you decline the incoming call, there won't be a missed call notification. In Sense, you get one on every missed call, even if you decline it. Is there any way to change the behavior in Sense to match AOSP? (Besides installing CM6 of course ) I'm getting tired of clearing my missed call notifications all the time.
So I guess there's no way to get around this?

Call blocker/ do not disturb app?

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.

Call Blocker same as Root Call Blocker for non-rooted S9

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.

Issues with Phone not ringing or displaying incoming calls

On my Verizon S20, recently incoming calls are not ringing and/or not displaying on my phone. I'll see missed calls with the phone right in front of me. Or I'll hear it ringing, but it stays on the Always-On display without showing the call screen to accept or decline or even who is calling. I'm also not hearing text messages either. Any ideas?

Verizon tech support had me go and reset the phone settings and it resolved the issues. The only pain was going back and redoing ring and notification tones, always on display, and a few other settings.
