Question about comparison

Hey man, been a happy pro user for a very long time, however I just found a case in which I have a number stored in my contacts, when that number calls me then it is blocked.

The whole number in my contacts "+(country/area code) phone" looks like: +xxx yyyyyyyy

The number that I see is blocked in the log is +yyyyyyyy

Apparently this international company omits country and area code and only adds a + to the local number. My current settings is to only allow my contacts to go through, would reducing the number of digits to compare work? I used 8, lowered to 7 but I havent received a call yet. They are rare but they are very important.

I had a suggestion actually, when I was using winmo I used a program, don't remember the name but it used a small windows to type in a number and test if it would be blocked or not while changing settings. I know it might sound like ripping features off another product but hey, that would be better than waiting for the actual calls to be made :) I like to call it feature reusability.

Thanks man!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Numbers to compare would work. But you should consider just using a wildcard.

Regarding testing... interesting.

Thanks, I love this app! I totally recommend.

RCB Hidden Mode

I had enable RCB in hidden mode, tried to open the app using the set password, but the application failed to open. is there another way to open back this app?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
If youve forgotten your password, no. You will have to perform a clean install!
[Android Apps and Games] dB Zac:
you can go into settings/manage applications/downloaded then click on RCB, force stop, clear data. that should do the trick. If you haven't done a backup, you are going to lose all your settings
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hilarious... guess its not something we like to advertise :)

what's next for RCB

As you know, I've been trying CM since it came out at first, even been a RCB PRO customer.

Going back to CM the last days I found out these features are implemented there (correct me if I'm wrong), while indeed my suggestions were ignored for RCB.

Well, don't get me wrong, I understand by myself CM is going much far than RCB does.

They were just suggestions, don't think I'm complaining about that, but I think among those there were certainly some within the spirit of RCB (eg. using sms log also).

So my question is if you consider RCB development closed, meaning that every new feature will be implemented on CM only, and that future requests will be ignored.

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
This has already been covered. There will be few new features in RCB, it is simply not built for complexity.

If you need more, go for CM. That is the nature of progress.
[Android Apps and Games] parcou:
I have been rock solid and thx for all the help in the past...

I have a question about going into settings and checking Enable call blocking box...

I have one profile and have it to scheduled to only allow calls M-F from work from 8a-5p.

0:00 - 0:00 Sat,Sun

0:00 - 7:55 M-F

17:00 - 0:00 M-F

...and all works just fine

So if I take a day off on Tue and I open the app around 8:30a and the scheduler has already 'disabled blocking' I will manually go into the setting and check the box the enable

So comes Wed morning and I notice I got a call at 9am that morning but it was blocked. I open the app and notice blocking is still enabled. So what I do is go back into the settings and UNCHECK it now blocking is disabled.

Now when 5pm comes the app will properly enable blocking based on the profile schedule.

So it seems to me and what I have to do it make sure that I manually disable blocking before the 5pm scheduler comes that will automatically do it. But if I go into settings and check the box....it stays that way ignoring the profile scheduler...

Is that the correct action? It could be maybe my 'schedule off mode' setting...????
[Android Apps and Games] grissli1:
A few wishes :-)

Hi,

i have this app since a few weeks. It's the best app to block calls!!!

But i have a few wishes:

1. Can you please add "Groups" and "hidden Numbers" in the Exceptions (to block always/allow allways)?

2. In the "Schedule Off Mode" the point "switch to Default Profile".

3. A Shortcut to the Profiles

4. And it will be great, when i could switch the profiles by tasker or locale.

It would be absolutely great, when you can add this points in one of the next updates.

Sorry when my english is a little bit bad :).

Best regards

Chris

Hey there. Been around the ICS crazyness recently. No matter what I do or what rom I use RCB does not start on boot. Is this a known ICS issue? any workaround or plan on fixing it? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] King350z:
I'm using Android 2.3.5 (Glacier-AOSP-1.3 / Cyangen based Rom) on Mytouch 4g.. the Application worked fine when I was on Sense 3.5 and Android 2.3.4... any Idea why it won't work on this version?? This is a great App, comparable to none I just wish it would work, I don't want to downgrade my rom...

---------- Post added at 03:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 AM ----------

Are you Rooted? If so have you found a program that works in a similar way to it?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
You need to read the help on adding numbers to learn how to block unknown and unrecognized calls.

Sometimes you may have to create a number with the word "unknown" in the number field as well, tovspoofinternet boys.

There is another program, we make it, its called call master.

Regarding I cs. We will fix this next week when we get our galaxy nexus.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Lol - i mean spoof internet bots :)

Anyway, have an update:

1.7.7

- Now fully ICS compatible

- Fixed multipart SMS autoreplies

- Fixed small UI bugs on new ports and CM9 variants

Enjoy!

Hi guys! our advanced blocking app Call Master is on sale at 4.98, so if you want to upgrade from RCB, now is the time!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Indeed, if you need more power handling and blocking calls and SMS, now is the time to upgrade to Call Master: XDA CM THREAD.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hi guys. We need some stringent testing on a Verizon device of any kind, please help us out! perform the following:

1 - Call someone who can answer you and establish a connection

2 - Once the call is active, call your phone from another (eg your landline)

3 - When you are notified about the second incoming call, hang it up manually

4 - Now hand up the active call

5 - Open RCB and send logs with a description (write "cdma call waiting hang up" or something)

Please make sure that none of the numbers (there should be three) are being blocked in any way by RCB.

Thanks. This will help us solve the issue of blocked calls hanging up ongoing calls during call waiting!
[Android Apps and Games] tehloxely:
What's the difference between this app and Call Master? (I already bought Call Master.)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
This is much simpler, has fewer options, less flexibility.

Ahhh I gotcha!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:

1.7.8

- Added SMS to number picker

- Fixed lots of device-specific issues from logs
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
So, any issues with the update?
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
Right now i'm on RCB. No issues on this update.

What do you mean by "Added SMS to number picker" ?

Can't find it anywhere.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
When you add numbers throgh "From logs" you will now see both calls and sms in the contact picker.
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
Ok, found it and it's really useful.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Enjoy! See, it may not be as feature-rich as CM, but it will occasionally still get useful features.

In the long-term, we plan on refactoring it, because RCB was our first attempt at writing something purely in native, many of its features are cobbled on in a way that prevents us from expanding functionality in major ways.
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
As with other things in life, cars, girlfriends :) i have to change from time to time.

Call Master is almost the absolute power over calls, sms and spammers but RCB still does it for me, normally for a short period, but still i like to see the innovations you and your team implement on both programs.

Right now i see the new 1.1.7 of Call Master calling :D
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Enjoy! Its the best one yet :)

Question about Digit Comparison

I received a text message from a 5 digit number and I added it to my blacklist. I see that the Digit Comparison cannot be set to 5 digits. Does this mean that this number cannot be blocked or is there another way to do it?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Itll be blocked just fine. The comparison starts from the end, not the beginning of a number.
[Android Apps and Games] garywojdan81:
Any further work for Motorola 4g issues?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Possibly. Are you sure such issues actually exist, or have you just not waited long enough after boot to see your data connection return?
[Android Apps and Games] garywojdan81:
It's not only at boot, sometimes after it blocks a call the data connection drops & won't come back. I've waited as long as 10min before with no return of data. It's not just the absence of the icon, nothing requiring data can access anything. Usually toggling data brings it back, it just won't come back on its own. I'm in a 3g only area & have it set for 3g CDMA only so its not the LTD handoff.
[Android Apps and Games] iridaki:
I just did the Greek translation.

Can't wait to see the app localised on my phone! :)

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Thank you. Please check all the strings for comments. In some places i will ask you to make the translations slightly shorter so that they fit on the screen!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
This seems like a problem with the radio itself. If data was turned off during a call (Android does this, not RCB), it will be switched back on afterwards.

Have you tried other rarios?
[Android Apps and Games] garywojdan81:
Only the 2 that have been available, the original & then the updated one that just got leaked. Happens with both.
[Android Apps and Games] iridaki:
I tried to do the translation while actually looking at the app on my phone, so I think the strings are as short as possible and they will fit.

I'll keep an eye on the comments. Again, thanks for making the crowdin project, I wish more developers would take down that road! :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hi again guys, please dont forget about the translation project here:

And thank you and your team to let us, users, participate, in a small portion, in both excellent apps (RCB and Call Master).
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Its my pleasure! Have you experienced any issues in RCB or CM?
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
On CM, which i'm using right now, no issues after updating a reinstall via Titanium.

On RCB still waven't this new version 1.7.11, because it's not cached on google market, but in the previous versions the one thing that was a little awkward was that RCB needed a restart (inside the app) of the telephony service.

After that it worked fine. Note that CM worked fine on the same device and with the same Rom/Modem.

After installing this new 1.7.11 i will let you know how the telephony behaves.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Usually its the radio driver that's at fault. Nothing to be done I'm afraid, which is why we added the manual debug tools...
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
Cool! I will do the Hebrew and some Finnish as well!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Thank you! And for helping out with the russian as well :)
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:

By the way is everything ok with 1.7.11 ?

I've tried the download, cleaning the market's app cache and every time the installed version is 1.7.10. But in the market app appears the new one.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Wow - thanks for bringing that to my attention! Looks like the apk failed to upload for some reason!

[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Let me know how it goes!
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
Everything working fine, no more radio issues.

This new version blocks like old times, right after the boot/restart.

About the translations the new menu about the import list dialog is not, yet, translated.

I'll do it the moment your team update it in the Crowdin site.

And looking at the strings in Portuguese i'm gone have to make some adjustments, because in the device screen they don't look too perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
We will upload the strings tomorrow. And yes you're right, its best to make things shorter whenever possible :-)

[Android Apps and Games] prisonnet:
Hey great app, absolutely wonderful! Quick question though: even though this blocks calls at the system level, does it technically answer and then hang up, and just doesn't show the notification or does it do something else? I only ask because I travel internationally a lot and I believe my carrier (at&t) starts to charge me for calls whilst roaming from the second I pick up, irregardless of call length.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Dont worry, just dont use the "Answer hang up" and "Answer wait hang up" reject methods and you will be fine. But if you need more reject methods, look in my sig for Call Master, our other call management app!

Been using your paid version for a long time, love it. However, MMS blocking would be great. Almost got in trouble a couple times!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I am not sure that RCB will ever have MMS blocking... that is planned for CM. It all depends on whether the daemon permits.

In any case, we are working on it for CM and its expected mid marxh. I guess we will see if we can port it to RCB then...

You see the problem with blocking MMS is that you cannot store the content - its all or nothing.
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
In my opinion:

better the way you say, all or nothing, then not having control at all over MMS.

It's a matter of explaining, on Help and/or in a pop-up, that activating MMS blocking means "all or nothing" and it's up to the user the final decision.

On RCB or on CM.
[Android Apps and Games] nooomoto:
I would rather have all or nothing as well. If it is going to be implemented in CM I'll buy it. I have no problem supporting good developers and great products.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
It will be in cm by mid-march! I've already started working on it...
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
And you're the man for this job :)

As once said, always in the bleeding edge.

CM will rule filtering communications.
