Which one is the ultimate tool of your suite, that features it all in the future? I *extremely* love Root Call Blocker and it worked perfectly until now.. and just two minutes ago I got called TWICE from an unknown number (even though it blocked them successfully before). How can that even be? When clicking the Caller ID, it says "1" (logs state a "-1"). Blocking now.. but what's wrong with it (even restarted it between calls)?

Update 1: Blocking "1" and "-1" was not enough - the call came through again! Set my SuperSu to "Survival Mode", deleted cache + dalvic-cache and fixed all permissions through 4EXT now. Let's see if I receive another call of some horny *****..

Update 2: I'm beginning to be disappointed. Can't believe RCB doesn't even detect the unknown caller! The fourth call just came through - I hear and see it clearly. Do you have a money-back guarantee? How can numbers even bypass this monster tool working with my root access? Jesus christ, it's 2:08 AM! What does your great tool do when I really need it?
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
I face this just today first time ever since I am using since this app was beta

It cudn't block 3 call, then I have updated to new version (actually I ran Nandroid backup and update was pending which released 1wk ago) just Tried now and worked fine.
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
Upgraded as well. Let's see what happens tonight...
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
DK, this is not app related, probably something to do with root or licensing (ie when a licence cant be validated the app reverts to the trial, only blocking one random number. There are no known issues with blocking.

Also, you MUST always use the latest version of the app, we dont provide support for old builds.
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
That could be the reason, anyway as I said I am always using latest version but just yesterday i ran Nandroid backup restore, which was 10day old and pending update was there, but no issue after update

Thanx.

hello i have a htc s one, I installed Root Call Blocker latest version, it worked for a couple of days, it did not work anymore. the phone keeps ringing. my phone and root. sin I finally found an application that did not make it ring.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hi. Im the dev. I also have an htc one s. It works fine. Make sure the app has root and youre using the latest version.
[Android Apps and Games] nikaredda:
no, it does not work I put the latest release, my phone and root

What the latest version?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.pro

The latest version can always be found on the Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] behzad_20052006:
Thanks.

Cool
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yep OK just dont forget this:
[Android Apps and Games] istillmyself:
ssibrna aware

erm how about message from unknown number ? auto to msg log ? and how about unknown number for call ?need to know it before purchase

and 1 more thing what the different between call master..its is call master just for unroot user?
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
Did you even read the discription of it, boy? Root Call Blocker includes all of the above, plus a huge bunch of extra goodies. And no, this is NOT a "Call Master for unrooted users". You HAVE to be ROOT. While Root Call Blocker features a wide range of functionality and is perfect for the majority of people, Call Master is the complete suite featuring "all you can eat".
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Speak in a language others can understand, starting with full sentences, or noone will be inclined to help you either here or in real life.

Which part of app name and app description are you having difficulties with?
[Android Apps and Games] jhuff83:
Any way to get a 1x1 widget?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
It should already be a 1x1 widget...
[Android Apps and Games] jhuff83:
Mine shows 2x2 on the galaxy s 3
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
Click on "Platzhalter" in the Help-Section and the app ALWAYS crashes. Cool feature, bro. I won't send logs if they can't be send anonymized through RCB itself without using my mail address. Anybody willing to?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Have you meddled with the lcd density somehow?

This needs to be checked in the german page of the translation project: http://crowdin.net/project/root-call-blocker-pro/de

Ran into Trouble

Hi

With best regards thanks for the best application ...

i used it so long until it started to not blocking calls .. even i changed my rom , and i used different version and builds of the application but it still wont work :(( what should i do , i am ineed of this application it saved my life several times plz plz plz help me
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
Upgrade to the latest version, upgrade your SuperSU (or whichever superuser app you have), clear cache + dalvic-cache and fix permissions. Then reboot and try again. If it still doesn't work, call yourself from a hidden number and provide a logcat of that. Good luck!
[Android Apps and Games] blaine07:
He'll get flat out rude with you or anybody. Been like that forever. Guess its the price you...SHOULDNT have to pay. :-/
[Android Apps and Games] edimgomes:
All I needed.:laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Buy the app. That would do it.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I had something witty to say but meh
[Android Apps and Games] Droidzone:
The latest update has started crashing..sent the log via email.. reverted to previous version..

An option to backup the profiles externally to a file would be extremely useful. If its a csv file, one could quickly add a lot of contacts via excel too..
[Android Apps and Games] nonya~V:
DUDE!!! AWESOME!! Buying pro now. Can u consider multi select from call log? Sharing on FB. You have a new FAN for life.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hi guys, we are going to push another bugfix later this evening, there should be no need to clean-install it.

Yesterday we had some troubles transferring settings from standard to pro, they caused most of the crashes.
[Android Apps and Games] 3mendo:
HI, there

How about the SMS sendig function from RCB to the phone SMS app?

That will be the killer feature for having me as a customer!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
We will be implementing it in the next few days, so dont fret. At the moment we are working on stability rather than on adding new features.
[Android Apps and Games] Droidzone:
Sounds great.. what are the extras planned in the pro version?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Actually, the public beta has a timeout, at which point it will become a demo (3 hours).

After that, RCB will cost from 1 to 5 US dollars per month, depending on the subscription you choose.

Those who bought the Donate version will receive 2 months of use!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Updated again - no need to clean install this time!
[Android Apps and Games] daveid:
I can't see myself paying more than a one-time fee for an application like this. Monthly subscriptions should provide new content each month, or services that can be properly monitored with fees applicable to actual usage. I would pay up to $5usd for this app, but not $5/month or even $1/month. It is your product, and your decision. Just making my feelings on the subject known. Perhaps you will reconsider your business model, if not you have lost my business. Especially since it doesn't cost you anything when your app blocks a call, we aren't using your network for anything nor are you providing a measurable value-based service, a one-time fee would be much more appropriate for something of this nature.
[Android Apps and Games] 93ae8074:
Are you planning a monthly fee? So is there a monthly service associated? Any kind of filter list, maybe?

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Exactly right, Just few minute ago same msg i mail to developer to reconsider decision. Of course it is one of the best call blocker now on android community. but if we compare with other (which is free e.g. Mr number, or easily available on forum e.g call filter Pro), why this SW is better? just one reason, it blocks before 1 ring to caller, even here it is not 100%, b'coz almost half ring still getting. I am not criticising this SW,even i was first or second to donate.. but what i am feeling is for this benifit, monthly basis subsciption is how much justified? Hope developer can understand..

Atleast I wont go for it

W8 N Watch till then
[Android Apps and Games] qht128:
I Agree

I agree with everything davidid said. It was very well said and thoughtfully laid out. His argument was fair to the developer and the prospective consumers. I wish gladly pay a one time fee but not a monthly subscription.
[Android Apps and Games] :
No Monthly fee!

You will lose alot of customers with a monthly fee.. Why do you think no one uses the joke ATT Navigator service? iBlacklist was a one time fee of 9.99 which is fair for a great app. I would pay 9.99... What do you think?
[Android Apps and Games] shawkes:
I agree with the others and will not keep using this app if there is a monthly fee.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I was hoping to get a reaction! So here goes:

We have not yet decided on this and i appreciate the strong feelings. However, there are a number of features planned which will justify a small subscription fee. Also, we are not sure exactly how RCB will behave when a payment has not been made (weve considered simply cutting down the number of callers one is able to block, so that those who pay are only the ones for whom the price is justified - ie, people who use the app a lot).

If we could sell at less than $.99, we would!

Dont forget - Android has less interesting apps precisely because developers do not find it profitable. We have, for example, given away something like 30000 copies of Screenshot ER, and only 400 have donated. Where, I say, is the logic in that?

What do you mean by filter list exactly?

You can always go over to them! But theyre not as good, and certainly they dont have our support department ;)

Everyone who has the donate version will get get an automatic subscription for at least 6 months. And after that it will cost something like this:

$1 - 2 months

$2.50 - 6 months

$4 - 12 months

AGAIN WE ARE UNDECIDED, but with the addition of features and full online support, this may be the model we follow.
[Android Apps and Games] :
wow, i regret purchasing the pro version that early.

i do echo the sentiments voiced here. i was under the assumption that the price will eventually go up, to a maximum of $5 or maybe even $10.

i absolutely won't pay for a subscription, i do realize that you prolly planning on tweaking it quite a bit, but that's not something that should warrant a monthly fee. once it's stable, i don't need it to cook my dinner, some new features once in a while would suffice.

the only subscriptions i got are for my phone, domain, web space, spotify, that's it.

p.s. i'm just a user, i submit feature requests, help testing betas, donate or get the pro version of software i like. i do want that you dev people can make a living and continue to bring me awesome treats, please reconsider if a higher price could work, a lot of high quality applications are priced way above $0.99.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
It would not be a subscription like that - the basic app would block 2000 calls (or whatever), and once you run out, you could buy unlimited calls for one of the periods.

WE ARE NOT YET DECIDED, AND WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ALL THE OPINIONS AGAINST THE IDEA!
[Android Apps and Games] 93ae8074:
By filter I mean a preloaded list of phone numbers to block, just like Mr.Number does.

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Its on the to do list, but at the moment our goals are stability, speed and compatibility. In any case, Caller ID is more of a priority for the moment, and will be out soon.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Any issues with the newest release? Just a heads up too - we will be adding new features today. Hopefully, persistent notifications and pick-up-and-hold reject method.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hmm... what about call master? Try its widget...
[Android Apps and Games] jhuff83:
It's 2x2 as well. I looked through other widgets and I do have some 1x1 widgets. This is just strange.
[Android Apps and Games] imanh:
thanks for the help , but i donot get it , what do you mean by "LOGCAT" ???

thanks

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ----------

I really like to buy and donate and support the application that i love the most but unfortunatly it is not possible in my country(IRAN) , we dont have any credit cards or access to pay online or international markets ... thanks to murderus government ....
[Android Apps and Games] jhuff83:
Keep getting spam texts asking me to call bank of America. The text is from text@info.com. I added this to blacklist but they still came through. Any idea why?
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
My idea is that you installed another app that keeps sending this sh!t on an internal basis. RCB has (as far as I know) no capability to block these SMS because NO NUMBER is provided. Blocking SMS by text wildcards should be moved to the request list for the next version. As for SMS, have a look at GO SMS PRO - it is completely free and offers mentioned functionality.
[Android Apps and Games] jhuff83:
I know I didn't install another app. My wife gets the same junk and so does a friend of mine. The spam is well known right now as they are phishing for info.

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ----------

I sent a suggestion via email for the text wildcards and one other item. Hopefully that will get added. Those texts are annoying as hell. I report everyone to Sprint as well as block them on the Sprint site, however they still get though sometimes.
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
As I recommended: Do yourself a favour and use GO SMS PRO instead of the standard SMS app (you can uninstall it afterwards). I'm using the whole "Go-Suite" and am more than satisfied. Oh, and have you looked at Master Root Call Blocker yet? It's the monster tool that covers ALL your needs. Even blocking by wildcarding numbers, text pieces and much, much more. ENJOY!
[Android Apps and Games] jhuff83:
I tried Go SMS I believe awhile back. I'm using Handcent now and added that to the blacklist. I'll see if that works.

Update: Tried it by blacklisting the wife's number and it didn't allow the text to come through using Handcent.
[Android Apps and Games] Jersey846:
Having trouble getting a signal after rooting and installing this on my Razr M running Jelly Bean. Not sure what the issue is. Tried restarting the phone. After restart, as soon as I start up the RCB app, I immediately lose any signal. Also tried the "restart telephony service" option, and it seems to grab a signal for a split second, then back to no service.. Once I disable call blocking I get a signal again. Any ideas on troubleshooting?

Droid Razr M

Android Version 4.1.1

Root Call Blocker Pro Version 1.8.3.23 rev 10083023
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
You mean that after restarting your phone or pressing "restart telephony" you see no signal at all, not just data? But when you go into the app and untick "enable" your signal returns?

If the answer is yes, there is no problem - you simply arent waiting long enough for the phone to reacquire a signal.

Why? A - no one has reported such an issue. B - once installed, the daemon completely replaces the entire telephony socket, so the only way to "disable" it is to uninstall all our apps and then reboot. This means that enabling or disabling the service has no effect on signal in any way.
[Android Apps and Games] Jersey846:
Correct. After restarting my phone or pressing restart telephony I see no signal at all. Not able to make a call and no data. On my Droid Pro that was rooted, I received no long periods of waiting time to receive signal. Maybe I'm being impatient, but before posting I let the phone sit for 15-20 min and it never was able to get a signal. My apologies if I'm being impatient. Just not sure how long it should be taking to reacquire the signal.

Just a clarification on my explanation.. signal does not return by simply unchecking the "enable" option. Signal returns when I uncheck the enable option and then "restart telephony service". Checking the "enable" function afterwards, however, does immediately drop any signal though.

NOTE: There may no be issue reported thus far because it's possible I'm the first user that has JB installed (flashed an official build last night) on the Razr M and just rooted this evening (root was only released today). It's highly possible none of that matters, I'm not sure.

UPDATE: Just for kicks I installed the trial of Call Master to see if I had any signal errors. Upon downloading, installing, granting it root privileges through Super User, and opening the app, I immediately lost signal without tinkering with any options or settings. (that has not returned after waiting for 10 minutes).

Hopefully this issue can be identified and solved sometime in the near future as Root Call Blocker is easily my favorite root app.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Uninstall everything, reboot, install.

Its probably some error with the superuser app.
[Android Apps and Games] Jersey846:
Thanks, I'll give that a shot.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
If it doesnt work, we will use the logs to have a good look at the radio interaction.

But in my experience there has yet to be a device-specific issue with the radio layer. And RCB has been out for two years almost.
[Android Apps and Games] tonym900:
The app icon disappeared

Hello,

I searched the thread but I did not find the answer: I installed the trial version on my rooted SGS2 and setup to block one number. After some days I wanted to change options of the app but ... I can't find it anymore in my phone!! :laugh:

It is installed because it appears in the list of installed app, but I cannot launch it to configure it! I know that maybe I checked some options to have the app not showing anything of its dirty work, but... how can I launch it??

Thanks beforehand

It was working ok until i updated my viper rom and it started having problem Related to su. When i open the app it diesnt show su prermission notification. But it shows when having a reboot while starting up. But in super su i can see RCB in auto allow list.

Eventually its not blocking any call or sms. Any solution?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
What version of the app?
[Android Apps and Games] Clrd4tkoff:
RCB Buggy...or is it just me

S3 i9300 criskelo v15 (downloading v16). RCB works perfectly when not hidden. When I make it hidden, it lags badly, to the point where it freezes and I have to restart the telephony service (if I can get into settings) or I have to reboot the phone. Does anyone know of a fix for this? It is RCB Pro (current version from the play store)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Its probably something to do with your from mate.
[Android Apps and Games] Clrd4tkoff:
I have criskelo v16 installed now and that doesn't help any. Maybe it's time to switch to omega?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I read your review on the Store. Its a classic - "my new rom makes the app unstable therefore the app sucks".

Nevermind.

What i suggest you do it try a better rom. I assure you, we are considerably more competent than the vast majority of rom cookers (who consider themselves software engineers because theyve learned the power of copy paste).

Since this problem you describe has not been reported by anyone else, it is not something that we need to "fix".

Go with AOSP or AOKP - at least they are made by actual programmers. We have two s3s in the office on cm9 and cm10 and everything works flawlessly.
[Android Apps and Games] Clrd4tkoff:
I never said the app sucks, don't put words in my mouth or stereotype. I was merely asking if there was an easy, known fix for what was happening with my phone. I've sent two reports thru the app and haven't heard anything back. After that I did a review on the store and came here. I think I went thru every appropriate step to get some help with this, so relax. I'm downloading another rom as we speak, I'll let you know how that works out.
[Android Apps and Games] jhuff83:
Any update as to the widget not being 1x1 for me? I tried the Call Master and same thing, 2x2
[Android Apps and Games] Clrd4tkoff:
I downloaded and installed Omega v29 for JB. Everything seems to be working fine.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
...

Yep, i think ive fixed it. Next build.
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
Would you please include the option to chose and set a custom icon for the notification bar as is already done in Call Master? That would really rock. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Bad news I'm afraid - it cannot be fixed properly because of some internal google crazy ness. I do have a solution however - a new style of widget.

The only drawback is that I won't have time to design new Widgets before the next release. I'm am on it however.
[Android Apps and Games] jhuff83:
Good to know you are working on it.
[Android Apps and Games] alezas:
Does it block just calls, or messages too?
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
RTFM!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Lol
[Android Apps and Games] Jersey846:
First let me say that when RCB was working for me on my old phone, there wasn't an app that even comes remotely close to being as good. Not even close. But let me also say this. After browsing through about a third of this entire thread, including your response to this guy and your response to my issue, you seem to brush people off rudely when you really don't need to be reacting like that. You also told me my issue must be my own fault because it "hadn't previously been reported before". By that logic, no new issue could ever arise. You are aware that an issue, at some point, will be reported for a first time right? It seems a cop-out to just brush somebody off by telling them it can't possibly be an error with the app. While your app is by far the best out there for call blocking, the reality is that as new versions of Android, new versions of SuperUser and SuperSU, newly rooted phones (like my RAZR M), as a developer you're going to encounter new issues arising whether or not they have been previously reported or not. As many developers do, you adapt, you correct the problem, or at least investigate it. If you aren't interested in investigating compatibility issues with new versions of android, SuperUser, SuperSU, or the like, then just say so. I'm sure it's no easy task keeping up, but I can assure you that not all issues are user error. And that is the reality of my situation of RCB preventing my phone from having any radio signal. I'm sure that is the case for some other users as well. I bought your app because it was recommended to me by others for it's excellence. If a fix is ever released that once again makes it functional on my phone then I will return to the app that I paid for. But just because an error is a "first" in your book doesn't make it invalid.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yes...
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
My eyes catched your post before you edited it. Just to glue it to the thread, this is what you really said before:

Say what? To be honest, I like your tools very much. I'm stunned about the way they're designed with the user and simplicity yet awesome features in mind.

But seriously, what's your problem with some feedback to the tool to improve it even more? It's not supposed to be criticism against your person, yet just some contribution for development. In the Call Master thread you ask for ratings on Google Play, can't we just ask you to listen to us? Why getting angry so easily? And why are you shooting at cute little flys with a bazooka?
