hi,

got permanent notification icon is great.

A couple of thing:

1) After enabling Persisten Notification, exiting a opening setting again, checkbox is not checked but notification still in bar

2) A different Icon for Service Enabled, and Service Disabled would be great

Can't get the App working on my phone, HTC Desire Rooted using Oxygen 2.1.3 wont let me enable blocking and just crashes after a few minutes, sent logs a few times if that will help.
[Android Apps and Games] miro666:
You announced , you need testers for Root Call Blocker. OK, but i will apk in your thread, i really dont wont (and i cannot on my croatian region download your apk) go on Android market for downloading and testing. Can you put apk on your first post ???

Thanks

what does fast reject do? can anyone explain the difference between the different rejection options?

thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Theoritically well mentioned in help file, but practically i didn't found difference betwin Fast/Slow/Alt Reject method on my SGS, same reaction just call gets disconnect, while 'reject' sent to voice mail

Please do read. Incompatibility with LBE Privacy
[Android Apps and Games] darkvoid_66:
This app works great on my SGS.

Reject will "send" busy sign to my caller (no charge on caller)

Alt reject will "send" diconnect sign to my caller (will charge the caller)

Fast reject will send my blacklist caller direct to my voicemail while other callers can phone me with no problem.

I have one question, why each time I reboot I see superuser message saying "Root call blocker has been granted root permisions"??

(I don't have root call explorer enable, and I don't have star service on boot enable)
[Android Apps and Games] Grommish:
Running this on Sprint Epic 4G, SFR1.1.1 Rom...

Works very well! Slow/Fast reject caused some interesting (weird) issues on testing.

My friend has a vzw droid2, rooted but on rom. Used his # to test..

On slow reject, it caused it phone to display flash and be unresponsive for 5 sec or so. Fast just shortened the length, but same results.. reject went to vm, alt rej just gave a tone and disconn..
[Android Apps and Games] expl0de:
Go to Superuser settings and there is option to disable such messages.
[Android Apps and Games] droid newb:
So if I understand this correctly, Alt Reject is still the only setting that blocks the call WITHOUT sending the call to VM, right???

Because that's what I want.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
The reason i have named them the way i did is because they will work differently on different phones. You should experiment to find what works best for you!

As for root access, RCB will start the service automatically whenever your network is enabled. This does not mean it is actually blocking anything, only that it has hooked into the cellular subsystem.
[Android Apps and Games] mallen462:
I will be testing this today on my thunderbolt, will report back with results
[Android Apps and Games] lostboy1952:
I'll give it a try!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Please do, let me know if you have issues.
[Android Apps and Games] rickbuck:
Small issue on my phone/setup. When RCB loads, and I have Wifi Enabled, notification bar shows both 3g and Wifi icons. Normal behavior is for 3g to go inactive and disappear from the notification bar... with Wifi only showing. If I turn Wifi off and on again, I believe it corrects this issue.. and 3g turns off on the notification bar.

I have Samsung Epic, running 2.2.1

One other question, on the usage of wildcards. If I wanted to properly block all 800 numbers, will 800* suffice, or will I need to put a 1 in front of it.. 1800*. What is the proper procedure?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
If you use 800* you will block all numbers where 800 are the first three digits.

Using 1800* will block all numbers where 1800 are the first four digits.

However #800* will block all numbers where 800 are the second, third and fourth digits.
[Android Apps and Games] garywojdan81:
This is a powerful tool for an app that's still in beta. Thanks for your work. Just wanted to pass on some feedback for the latest update. For me, it won't even enable. Every time I select settings in the menu it crashes. Have sent crash reports 3 times for each attempt to set it up. Previous version worked flawlessly for me on my Samsung Fascinate.
[Android Apps and Games] shawkes:
Just tried to add number from the call log and it did not work. I have the latest version(1.09) and I removed it and reinstalled and it still does not work. I am running CM7 nightly 88 on a Inspire 4g.
[Android Apps and Games] youngbasedgod:
Cool app in theory. Wish it would work though. Crashes everytime I go to settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Suprah:
App keeps crashing on g2x cm7 nightly rom
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
We are working on a fix, please hold on!
[Android Apps and Games] madmossy:
Same as others, previous to the recent update it worked brilliantly, but latest version crashes when ever you press the settings button.
[Android Apps and Games] marcolino7:
Idem on Motorola Milestone 2.

Bye
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
A fix is coming shortly, please stand by!
[Android Apps and Games] marcolino7:
Thanks a lot
[Android Apps and Games] titooo7:
I just tested this app on my SGS with CM7. It's much better than SPC basically because it's faster blocking calls.

thanks for the app mate!
[Android Apps and Games] garywojdan81:
Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] marcolino7:
Hi Just installed Update, and now working great.

I would like to give you a simple suggestion to simplify operation.

You can change the Icon color into notification Bar in case Call Blocker is Enabled or not.

In Example:

- Green Phone Handset: Call Blocker ENABLED

- Grey Phone Handset: Call Blocker DISABLED

In this way I can check immediatly the status.

Many Thanks for your work.

Marco
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Done! Let me know how it goes.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Can i get some feedback please? This was a bugfix after all...
[Android Apps and Games] shawkes:
Fixed the unable to add from call log for my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] unikum:
every time after I restart my phone I have to type in the pin code twice and also now and then under normal use I have type it in.

similar when you go from airplane mode to normal

why is that?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hidden mode is enabled whenever the RCB service is started. This happens when your network is connected, ie, when you reboot or switch between airplane mode regimes.

Pretty self-explanatory, really :)
[Android Apps and Games] garywojdan81:
Loaded the most recent update & all's good now.
[Android Apps and Games] :
working and blocking fine here :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
We have a major update slated for a few hours from now. Hopefully it will be even more stable, with many, many fixes, including for CDMA text messages and some rare but annoying daemon startup errors.

Watch this space!
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
Sounds good! When is rthe beta going to be over?
[Android Apps and Games] :
had to search for the new release, the old donate version has disappeared from the market, all good now.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Everything working as it should?

[Android Apps and Games] tj78492:
SMS blocker is finally working on my evo running froyo.

Couple suggestions:

1. Long pressing a blocked text and selecting call causes my phone to lag and eventually the dialer force closes. The call is never made.

2. I dont know if this is the current behavior because of the above FC but when calling out from rcb can we make sure it doesn't display in the call log?

3. Can the sms blocking be expanded to basically be a private inbox where the messages are threaded and we can privately replay. See the easy filter app for a good example of this.

4. I dont know if mms are blocked but if they are can they be captured in this private inbox as well?

Awesome progress btw, the only app i missed from windows mobile was magicall and this is becoming an excellent replacement
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
At the moment root call blocker is a call blocker, not a private messaging app. I have considered releasing these kind s of features as plugins after the beta ends.
[Android Apps and Games] jackleung:
The lastest donate version seems to break my default camera app on i9100 once I approve the permission in super user. Can u verify it?

And it seems to crash LBE privacy guard for all the version of root call blocker i tried
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hi mate, please send us some logs using the "Write to developer" item in the Settings menu. Without logs, the can be no help...

Also, i cant replicate your error because i dont have a galaxy s 2.

In any case, you should not have both versions of the blocker installed. Uninstall one, then use the other.
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
Thanks a lot for your app! By the way, when are you planning on updatig Vibralert?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Updated again - many more issues fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] jackleung:
Just send. LBE privacy guard is not a call blocker, it's application permission manager. I already notice that developers as well and hopes to comes up with a solution.
[Android Apps and Games] g26er:
I can not send/receive SMS with this app installed/enabled. I've tried stock SMS app, Go SMS Pro and Handscent and none will send nor receive SMS. I've got the app setup in blacklist mode w/ only 1 number being blocked. I even took that number out so there are literally no numbers being blocked and it doesn't fix anything. I use Titanium Pro to "freeze" the app and reboot the phone and all is well again.

Never experienced that issue works great for me

[Android Apps and Games] xborfi:
thank you for your great work specially the don't answer function , I have some suggestion:

1- Adding "Contact Group" Block method would be great

2- If the application can support rules priority that would also be awesome.

:rolleyes:

3-as mentioned above adding some private sms solution would also be great

:rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hi mate, please send us some debug info using the "Write to developer" item in the settings menu. Dont forget to describe your issues in the text box.

Thanks for the suggestions, they will probably be worked in after the beta ends in a few weeks.
[Android Apps and Games] g26er:
I've just uninstalled and reinstalled from market and it seems okay now with the very latest version. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] 93ae8074:
Another suggestion, in the received SMS list use the name of the blocked contact in place of his/her phone number.

What do you think?
[Android Apps and Games] :
would be very sweet if you could obey the rules for the notification bar. there have to be some, otherwise tasker and 3g watchdog wouldn't cope w/ my current theme http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=826008

Thanks, what has been fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] rickbuck:
Very inconsistent with Samsung Galaxy-S Series phone. (Epic, on Sprint)

On one call, alt-rej hangs up after one ring, and calling phone disconnects.

On next call, with same handsets, alt-rej hangs up after one ring, but leaves calling phone connected. On third call, its anybodys guess?

All reject methods either send to voice mail, even "don't answer", or otherwise do not properly hang up on the calling phone. The other handset is silent, but seconds are still ticking off on it, as if it is still connected to network. No problem to receiving phone, in that there is no ring... but from one call to the next, with identical settings and handsets testing, sometimes behavior changes or reject method is ineffective.

If you need some help with this Samsung Epic, let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
These troubles are caused by your network. The replies available to android are limited and well-defined. What the network (if you have google voice or any other routing for example) does is nothing to do with the app.
[Android Apps and Games] kravguy:
Bug and feature request

First, when modifying items in the blacklist, after long pressing one and getting the popup to change the blocking type (ie, default, dont block, etc), when I select one of the choices, it gets applied to the last item in the blacklist, not the one I had long pressed on.

Second, I know this app is for blocking, but would you ever consider adding the ability to override the devices current sound profile as well? For example, if I have my device set to silent and a number I have defined calls, I want my device to ring. The only reason I'm asking is that this seems to kinda go hand in hand with what you are already doing. Other than that though, I really like the interface design of this and will be purchasing the donated version.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Thanks for the heads up. But please use the "Write to developer" item in the Settings menu - dont forget to describe the problem just as you did right now...

I dont understand - you want it to ring but block?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
So - im building an update and you are still to answer. If you want me to fix the problem, please send logs with descriptions!
[Android Apps and Games] kravguy:
No. Let's say I have 3 contacts (1,2,3). I have contact 1 in my blacklist and contact 2 in my whitelist. The end result I am looking for is that if contact 1 calls, they will be blocked. If contact 2 calls, then regardless of my current sound setting, I want it to ring. If contact 3 calls, then it should behave normally (ie, if my device is silent, no ring, vibrate, vibrate, etc). Sorry for making this sound more confusing than it is (been a long day already).
[Android Apps and Games] Grommish:
I think he's looking for a whitelist override. Say I have it set to default, blocking the numbers on the blacklist. But I want my wife's number to ALWAYS ring, regardless of the current system volume settings.. its a feature in some of the other blocker apps I've seen.. so it'll ring even if the phone is on silent.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
OK, I got it, global exclusions is the phrase youre looking for. You said sound profile, so i assumed it had something to do with ringing... anyway, its on the todo list already!
[Android Apps and Games] :
just discovered that it's now possible to restore blocked sms to the android sms interface.

the wording isn't too clear. maybe you could use 'restore to sms inbox' or 'send to sms inbox'. that should be a bit clearer.
[Android Apps and Games] kai666:
How do you restore blocked sms? I cannot find how to do it. Not very clear it seems

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] :
it's the 'send sms' option.
[Android Apps and Games] kai666:
That doesn't work on my wildfire. All that happens is the text messages open. But that is it. The blocked message doesn't move
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I believe this has been fixed.

Guys, just to let you know that the next version of this app will be the release candidate.

The lite version will allow you to block one number per profile only.

This will happen in around 12 hours!
[Android Apps and Games] daveid:
So I can have a whitelist with one number in the lite version? Cause, that is how I use this app to effectively block all calls when at work.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
If you like...
[Android Apps and Games] marcolino7:
How much will cost full version with unlimited numbers to block?

Version I have installed now, will become Lite?

What I have to do to have full version?

I'll lost all my number in my lists?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
1. For the first thousand customers $2.49. After that, I cant say yet.

2. If youve already bought donate, you dont need to worry.

3. Buy it.

You wont lose your settings during upgrade.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
The end of the beta is 1 hour away - we are just putting some user-friendliness into the UI to make it more better...
[Android Apps and Games] g26er:
I sent you bug reports w/ logs last week concerning the program of blocking all out going SMS just by having the program running. Has this been taken care of now?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I dont know - if you are the person that i think you are, the troubles were unique.

But to be sure you should just try the app again.

Send a few SMS - if that doesnt work, send more logs, I will look into it.

But your issue is pretty obscure... certainly, you are the only one i know of with these errors.
[Android Apps and Games] g26er:
Thanks for the reply, i will surly try again w/ the new build and send the logs if the issues are still present.
[Android Apps and Games] Biker1:
Just upgraded to Pro.

I had been using Mr. Number up to a few days ago.

Since GB update, Pick up & Hang up not working.

Can I add Exceptions to the Black List on the Pro version?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
If you mean global exceptions, no. This and contact groups are our current feature priorities.

Please check our blog for more info on upcoming versions!
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
After all this time, still doesn't play well with LBE. Mobile signal gets totally disabled. LBE crashes.

Uninstall LBE, still no mobile signal after reboot. Uninstall RCB, restart and signal came back.

When i install RCB earlier, got the message to allow full access in LBE. thought this issue was finally resolved. Yet, both still don't like each other.

In between all these, refund window is over. LOL! I don't care about those bucks but really hope it is thoroughly tested before being release.

This problem happened on Galaxy S and now on my new Galaxy S II.

Please help!
[Android Apps and Games] ukanth:
Sorry, I'll send you the logs :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Thank you, and if things crash, please use the debug popup we have created to send reports.

As for people going to voicemail - we are aware that some networks treat the "Reject" reply as go to voicemail. This is a network operator thing.

Hopefullt today we will add another reply - probably busy - so you can experiment with what your network does in case of rejected calls.

On some, the busy reply will work like the current "reject" is supposed to.
[Android Apps and Games] leftAlone:
Just installed the app. I'll report back in 3 days (or when an error occurs) whichever comes first. :D

For now just calls, but we are working on SMS and will add the feature next week.

Rooted desire. Program first of all makes you enter your pin number. Then, when using blacklist functionality, the person who calls you hears one long tone (as if you're ready to answer the phone) and then the busy tone.

As for me, it's below my expectations.

>>> Desire za pomocą Swype i Tapatalk. ;) <<<
[Android Apps and Games] Archpope:
Looks great. I'll have to give it a try after work today.

One feature I've always wanted in a call blocker is a timer. What I mean is, I'd like to set my phone so that all calls in the blacklist are always blocked, but from, say, 1AM-8AM, all calls are blocked except those in my whitelist. If my mom needs to call me for emergency reasons, I don't want her not to get through just because my phone didn't ring. I've yet to see this in any call blocker for Android, even though it was a fairly common feature in Windows Mobile. And yes, I'd be willing to pay for the call blocker that offers that feature!
[Android Apps and Games] nateseviltwin:
I'll try it out. I just want to block unknown unavailable numbers.
[Android Apps and Games] shawkes:
So far seems to be working on my HTC Inspire 4G running Inspired Ace 1.0. I did have to use the alternate reject to keep it from going to voice mail.

A couple of features I think would make this the perfect call blocker 1) ability to import/export black/white lists 2) be able to use wildcards in the lists. Other than those items I think this is a great start and am looking forward to when it is completed. If it is a paid app I'm sure I will buy it when finished.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Thanks for the suggestions! We will try to implement them over the course of the coming weeks.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Is anyone experiencing trouble with the white lists?
[Android Apps and Games] garywojdan81:
Yes, no matter how I set this up I can't get reliable performance. Sometimes blacklisted #'s get blocked & sometimes they get thru. The white list is the same, sometimes they get thru, sometimes they get blocked instead. I don't use task killers so there's nothing but the froyo memory manager to deal with. Going back to AutoRing for now. Hope this gets straightened out though. Its a great concept.
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
Just sent in a bug report. I can make do without LBE for now but please get RCB fixed asap.

It has no signal (flight mode) after installing RCB and rebooting. Need to disabled flight mode more than once (2x or more) then signal comes back.

On Galaxy S II with stock firmware + root.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
RCB requires access to the network subsystem all the time and hooks into it before LBE starts. To be honest, LBE is pretty pointless on android. But whatever rocks your boat. If you want tin hat, you shall have it.

I thought this was fixed... ill look into it again.
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
Would love to see some explanation on why its pointless but fixing it takes priority now. LOL!

FYI, it seemed that it will automatically disable flight mode after around 4 minutes. Not sure if it means anything to you though.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Interesting - ill look into the flight mode as well. Could be a serious issue, planes falling out of the sky...

Were you using it recently (ie, is it in the logs you just sent)?

Also, any fix is a priority. As i said, whatever rocks your boat.
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
I was using it previously on my Galaxy S. Works great, no complaints. Until I loaded in LBE and all the fist fights start. When both co-exist, LBE starts out disabled and cannot be enabled while RCB starts ok then end with a crash in a few minutes. Uninstalled RCB and used LBE with no issue till Galaxy S II.

Sorry for the sidetrack. Anyway, I wasn't using RCB until I saw that its finally out of beta so I went to get a copy.

If you need more tests/logs, let me know. Hopefully its not an isolated issue with just my hp.
