Hi all
I owned the G2 and G3 on both these devices you had the ability to reject calls by long pressing number and adding to reject list..
However I can not find or am unable to add nuisance calls to a reject list on G4..
Is this function gone or is there another way to do it?.
Cheers.
Hit the dialer app, open the options menu and select call settings. There's an entry named call reject, where you can do this. It's far more complicated than on the G2, but it's there.

Not for Verizon
You can also try an app called Mr Number..Ive used for a couple of years to keep trck of blocked calls, etc
You can still access the reject call screen on Verizon through a shortcut maker, like quick shortcut it, or activity shortcuts on home screens other than lg.

Is there any way of setting up a short cut button to forward your incoming calls to another number? The reason I ask is because the way you have to do it is to go menu>options>services>call forwarding>get settings>forward all incoming phone calls to>. It would be much easier to just press two buttons one to forward and one to reset back again.
Thanks

There is a "shortcut" but it's not on the phone and it depends on the carrier.
With my local carriers, they support activating different forwarding options by use of a sequence of key strokes + phone number to their system. I forward calls to my phone in the office when at work so I save the sequence+number to my Contacts and add it to Favorites, and whenever I'm in the office I simply select Favorites to send the instructions to the system to activate. Naturally I also have another entry on Favorites to deactivate.
Check with your carrier to see if they support this.
from the phone screen click menu>options>Services tab>Call Forwarding and click "Get Settings..." this might be different depending upon carrier but it works for me
Is it possible cancel a single phone number instead of all calls or all the calls for a contact?
I have italian ROM version 1.19.408.1.
Thanks in advance
are you talking about deleting a call in the call history? if so, here's how to hide your mistress' calls.
Press the send key to pull up the phone app & then the bottom left of the dialer there is a Call History button. that will bring up all the individual calls & you can select & delete & hide your affair.
enjoy

Thanks for your answer but your advice doesn't work in my phone with the european rom reported above. I need to delete a single phone to a dialer and not all the phone calls to that dialer.
FOr exampke if I call a friend 10 times and he can't answer I will found in my call history all the 10 calling and this generates confusion, so I want to be free to delete wath I want in my history call to obtain the better information I need.
If in the future, as you mention , I will need to make some "mistress calls" I will use a first generation phone (never a pocket PC phone ) and another sim card but it is not time yet .
Thanks in advance for your cooperation
Call you post a screenshot of what pops up when you press the Call History icon on the dialer? I'd like to see if it's the same as mine.
This was a feature I was also looking for.
I found this on a ROM with Manila 2.5. I apologize but I forgot which one. The ROM was a bit unstable so I am presently using another. I will PM the OP with the ROM I used.
---edit---
It was a ROM with Manila 2.5 build 23049
You can delete all calls to an individual caller (or all calls to all callers) but on Manila 2.1 it is not possible to delete a single call to that caller.

It is possible on 2.1 doing what i described. from the Phone/Dialer, press the bottom left icon for Call History & it will bring up individual calls (sort of like the old WM way) & you can press & hold a single call & it will pop up with an option to delete or you can do it through the Menu.

Wow... I can't believe it was right in front of my eyes the whole time! I was going through my call history from the 6.1 contacts.
Thanks
And for the record, it's the icon directly to the left of the Talk button when you bring up the dialer.
The icon to the left of TALK button on my TP2 toggles between voice calls and video calls. There is no Call History icon
Call History can be called up using the right softkey Menu > Call History, or click on the icon to the right of the call entry, which only gives me the option to delete all calls to that particular caller.
hmm, must be a US only thing then.

Yes, I can't find it on my European version of the TP2.
I think freakingwilly did mention a way to do it: through the 'Contacts' app in the 'All Programs' list.
t's a bit fiddly, but the way I've done it is:
1. Press the Phone/Send key to get a list of recent calls, and hit the button to the right side of that entry to get to the Contact Details page
2. Once you're there, press 'More' in the Information section
3. This will bring you out of TouchFLO into Windows Mobile 6.1 page for that contact
4. Tap on 'Last Call' (this will only be present if there is any call history to see)
5. You'll see a list of last calls for that contact which you can delete individually.
Note that this only works if that number is in your phonebook contact list - I haven't found a way to delete unknown callers short of saving them to my phonebook first.

Correct !
Indeed, it's a US thing.
The simplest thing I've found is simply to exist TF3D/Sense. I have installed the Darkness Toggler for TF3D Sense/Titanium/SpbShell. Once out of Sense, the option to hold down and delete individual calls is there.
I have US Tmo 6.5 rom. Press and hold does not bring up any menu for me and the moment I let it go, it simply dials that number for me.
@see_u_then:
What you described comes from the TF3D-Sense. Once you get quit sense, you will get the option to delete. As I said in the note above yours, I simply toggle between shells (TF3D/Spb Shell/Titanium). I get the option in all shells (or no shell) except in TF3D-Sense.
(As an aside, it's interesting that they removed this option in the TF3D-Sense2.1. The option was there in the WM6.1/TF3D Manila2.1 version that I had before the "update").
I recall in CM7 that blacklisting numbers from the call log (long press on the number, then press blacklist) was possible, but I haven't seen that option since starting to use ICS. Am I missing something? Is this still possible? Does it require a different caller apk?

I recall this as well in CM7. In ICS, it is integrated into the new "People" app (previously Contacts).
From what I remember, blacklisting in CM7 sent all calls from that person directly to voicemail. To reach this from the Dialer app in CM9:
- Click on the contact's icon
- Click the image again to go to their contact in the People app
- Open the menu and select "All calls to voicemail"
Hope this helps!

Thanks; that is close, it's actually what I do now. The nice feature about the blacklist was you didn't have to have the person added as a contact. The caller wouldn't show up in missed calls, either. Sending "all calls to voicemail" still requires adding the person as a contact and logs that as a missed call.
Close, but no cigar.

I use Avast! for this. It has a bunch of blacklist / call screening options that work on a root level to bypass the dialer. It can also keep logs & such if you want, but keeps it out of the main dialer logs. I definitely recommend!
Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone knew how to block numbers? I received a call today from a telemarketer and after I tried blocking it but couldn't find the option. I tried long holding the number and tapping the contact but didn't see the option. Thanks!
You can do this by:
- Hit call button from home screen
- Select 3 dots in top right and go to "call settings"
- Under Incoming Call, select "call reject"
- Select "Reject calls from"
- Click + and then call logs

I do not have a "Call Reject" option in that settings page. I have the Verizon G4.
Ouch. It is second item under "Incoming Call" section for me. I'm using the T-mobile G4.

Attached pic are my only option on Verizon...They can seriously suck it...
I do it through the Messenger (google's) application whenever I get an unwanted SMS.
Good thing is it carries over with your Google account. Unfortunately you cannot just type a number and block it.

Try something from the app store

Yep. This is something else Verizon stripped.

If that doesn't work. You can log into your Verizon account and block the number from there. However, this method only allows for a 90 day block.
This is the route that I took. Hopefully a future update will re-enable this feature on the Verizon phones, but that is probably wishful thinking..
You can still launch the reject call activity under the phone app on the Verizon model, just have to use a home screen that can set activity shortcuts, or an app like quick shortcut maker (the app includes a search function that makes it easy to find)

I tried this with no luck, you can add numbers to the block list but calls still come through.

What do you search for and what is the package name?
It's under the call app, but if you just search for reject, you'll find the reject call activity.
I use app "whoscall"

Did your G4 come with native call blocking? My Verizon G4 doesn't have (I suspect they removed it) any native call blocking. I'm currently using "Call Blacklist Pro" and it's working the way I want, only my contacts will ring through. All other numbers go straight to VM. I get anywhere from 0 to 6 calls per week from blocked or unknown numbers, and so far they've all been blocked.
If you use something else, what is it? I'm open to trying new options. While my current app is working OK, I still wish my G4 had native blocking like my Galaxy S4. I wish Verizon would stop removing stuff.
It's there on Verizon, but hidden. I used an app called quick shortcut maker. Search for reject. You'll see a call reject activity. Make the shortcut on your home screen, and it works great.
if you have root, use RCB Root Call Block Pro... the best Call Blocker i every seen
thank you so much. I was getting rather aggravated that Verizon hid call blocking. Had it on my note 3 and just got a g4 today and there was no call block list. Glad its still there, even if it is hidden.
Verizon charges for call blocking, of course they hid it.

Other ways to see rejected calls is, simply go to call logs, and you will see a "red crossed" circle down the numbers call rejected for.
