Call ignoring!!

Hi!
I'm newbie here and after searching all threads and found nothing so I'm looking for an app that can ignore a call from a blackilist of numbers without showing anything on the phone's display but also without hanging up the caller! There is an iphone app giving this "ignore" option called iBlacklist if I'm helping!!
Thanks!!
pamarakos

Goto "settings > call settings > all calls > auto reject"

Don't want to reject and show it to him, meaning hang up!!!
Just want to ignore him!!!

I found this:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/call-blocker-gold/blacknWhite.CallBlocker.Gold
There is an option "silence", which should do the job.

There is Easy Filter, block calls and or sms.
Search it on the market.

[Q] Annoying notification - Call forwarding

I went away for 10days so I put my phone on air plane mode.
When I got back I switched it over and this notification popped up.
"Call forwarding
Forwarding all calls"
Its really annoying and I cant get rid of it. Iv gone through all the settings. I cant swipe it off either. I turned my phone off, took the battery and sim out for a bit too, its still there.
Is there something I'm missing?
I can still receive and make calls.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Bump bump bump

[Q] Need help finding the impossible

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.

Voicemail Notification

So lately, I've been amazed at the number of calls that I've gotten that haven't left voicemail. I just got four today. So I decided to check my voicemail, and sure enough, I have a bunch of messages. I'm not sure why, but suddenly my voicemail notification icon is not displaying in the notification area. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, is there a fix?

My wife and I both have the Note 4 on VZW and we have this same issue. I'll get calls all week and think nobody left a message. Then I'll go log in and find I have like 10 waiting. I am pretty sure we used to get notifications, but not for the past 2-3 months at least.
I feel like someone must have an idea what the issue is. I really don't want to go to the store to wait in line for someone to tell me I am wrong.

My wife also has the Note 4, and her notifications come through just fine. I wonder if it has to do with that visual voicemail abomination that they force on our phones. I've gotten in the habit of checking my voice mail manually, whenever I have a missed call. I shouldn't have to do that.

I had the same issue. *611 customer service eventually ended up with a voice mail customer service rep. It seems there was a "Update" pushed by Verizon that conflicts with Galaxy Device voicemail notifications. She "adjusted" the settings on her end and had me reboot, then test called me, Voila, the little tape recorder pops up and my notifications now show an unanswered voicemail. I asked if there was a way for a consumer to reset from their end, she said no, a Verizon Network adjustment is necessary.

I just called and had the same thing done. I have the developer edition note 4 but that doesn't matter according to verizon tech support. notifications work now.
the verizon support specialist told me that verizon had put out an update to those users who got phones after the beginning of the year to 'opt' in to premium voicemail. apparently this messes up the users account voicemail protocol to where they don't receive notifications if they opt out of visual voicemail and just rely on basic 'old school' voice mail. the tech had to 'block' visual voicemail features and configure my account for use with JUST basic old school voicemail. hope this helps.

You're think that they could push another update that would fix it, without everyone who has the problem having to call in and take up customer service time.

I had to call them too.

Most likely enough people "opt in" for $3.99 (or whatever it actually is) a month to make it all worth while...

hey, so I hate googling for solutions and not getting answers so i signed up to help solve this problem
open the phone menu
click the three dots on the upper right and hit settings
select 'call'
under where it says 'voice mail service' near the bottom, add an alert sound for voice mails and select vibrate (if you want to)
next, open the general phone settings (looks like a gear) and go to 'sound and notifications'
go to 'application notifications'
scroll all the way down and select 'voicemail'
click 'set as a priority' so it says 'turn on'
I'm sorry I can't post photos along with it, but the xda forums don't allow new posters to add pictures to their posts until they've posted ten things. (understandable but v frustrating)
The verizon rep (who was very kind and personable) walked me through these steps.
I hope this helps everybody in this thread and all the people hunting from google as well! :]

I'm sorry, I should have been more specific with that.
On the bottom right of the customizable menu right at the bottom of your home screen, click the dot button that says 'Apps' on it. I'm not sure how many pages of apps you have, but it will list all your apps on the phone. It's called 'Settings' and the icon for it is a silver/white gear with a blue circle in the middle of it. Does that help?

Yup. So settings. I go in to it through the notification area, but it's the same thing.
I don't have any menu items that are titled "Application Notifications". Perhaps because I am still on 4.4.4?

THANK YOU!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this solution! Worked for me!

I'm also on 4.4.4 and I'm quite lost on that second part of the instructions. Could someone please explain?
Thank you.

I'm stuck, too. I don't have Sound and Notifications. Just Sound. On 4.4.4 as well.

Did you sign up for visual vm?

Enable voicemail notification on Samsung Galaxy 6
If you aren't receiving voicemail notifications, this is a system error. You have to reset your voicemail. Goto: Settings, Applications, Application Manager. You may have to swipe the screen to the left twice so that it says ALL at the top. Then scroll down to voicemail. Hit Force Stop, then ok, scroll down and hit Clear Data and Clear. I just got off the phone with tech and this is exactly what I did and now my voicemail notification is back.

Emergency Alerts On DP2

Had some severe thunderstorms move through the area, and got a bunch of emergency alerts(SMS) as well as calls. I wanted to disable the text alerts but the option in Wireless Alerts>Emergency Alert History>Settings wasn't there. Anyone else have this on DP2?
