Use the "check license" item in settings. This can happen sometimes when the Market is down, or if your using a beta, non stock vending.apk.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Thanks mate, we got the log, will look at it in mucho detail today.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I tried check license and reinstalling twice and boiting with it enabled.. can I get a link to the version right before this one? It worked perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Are you connected to the internet when performing this check? Send logs please!

I've started listening to vocal trance on the way to work. Van burren is good. But I seem to be getting system crashes. The dialer stops working, my 3g doesn't download and I had to do a hard reset. LOST ALL MY DATA!

Uninstalled.

Got Mr. Number. Works better apparently, and has Caller ID, which is really important somehow.

The important thing is, the black helicopters are gone now that I've denied it internet permissions. I no longer need moogly to remind me about that tin hat I've wanted for ages :-)
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
Mr.Number is not better.

Sarcasm or what ?

Is root call blocker depended very much on processor speed ? if i have setcpu and set profile when screen is off - smth about 130mhz, will it affect speed of blocking ?
[Android Apps and Games] vpaulve:
Hi, I have a problem with Root Call Blocker lastest version. By keeping secret I can not see the program by typing the access code via the cell phone dialer. I had removed the original dialer and I am using the Go Contact EX and when I try to dial the code using the dialer that provides what happens is you make a call to the code but does not allow access to the program, which happened before having the original dialer installed. I sent email to support but I have not been answered about three days ago.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
We dont answer every letter. Your issue was logged, but its not high on the list of priorities. On the bright side, it will be fixed eventually.

Re processor speed - it should not affect blocking, but sometimes it might for any of a hundred reasons - try it and see! Let me know what happens!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Well I had a try and could see no noticeable difference.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Update.. License issue goes away if I turn on background data.. It drains my battery faster. Is there anyway to make the license error go away when background data is off so I can save battery?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
It only checks the license once.
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
Great app, everything working fine, cpu low speed - everything ok.

thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] :
it doesn't for me.

could you at least add an trigger to only show this once, if i clicked 'not interested'.

i payed for a ad free version and would like to continue to use it as it was.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Nope, sorry, we are not the only ones that do this and it really helps us help YOU.

Its only once every two weeks or more, so id just suck it up...
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
What a smooch... anyway, thanks as always, the app is working properly.
[Android Apps and Games] lotacus:
There's a feature in extreme call blocker that I would like to see in this app. Feature is a called a pretender, which picks up the call and plays a predefined recording to the caller such as "we're sorry, the number dialed is no longer in service..."
[Android Apps and Games] vpaulve:
Hello, I found a serious bug, I believe, to review the installation files from the application Root Call Blocker.

Accessing to the directory I:/ data/rcb of the cellphone there are a series of files with extension .csv which can be easily opened in Excel and come to be the database of phone numbers that were configured for blacklists. Anyone could access them having the phone and a USB cable.

Would not it be better to encrypt these files? I think that these databases should not be exposed just like that and that undoes the purpose for which this program exists.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] YouArePoop:
Still curious why it needs permission to intercept outgoing calls. Incoming is obvious, but outgoing?
[Android Apps and Games] b3er:
Intercepting outgoing call is for hidden mode, when you enter in a dialer your password.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
what he said.
[Android Apps and Games] YouArePoop:
Gotcha, makes sense. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Spread the word brother. Leave a new review on the market to offset the noobs :)

By the way b3er, i agree with you policy re common man. Its a philosophy, man!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:

[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
great, one thing, today i updated 10 minutes ago and as today, sometimes

after updating to newest version, phone behave like in airplane mode but this 'enter pin' numpad does not show up, and i have to reboot phone, then it is ok again.

Not always, sometimes - enter pin window does not shows up after updating.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
logs please!
[Android Apps and Games] parcou:
Ohh... sounds like for me on the HTC with Sense for incoming calls... will test today phone blocks automatically after 5pm or unless I can do it beforehand... thx
[Android Apps and Games] iridaki:
This app is so awesome it makes me weep!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)

I used the trial for 1 day and immediately bought Pro version.

The price is very reasonable compared to this, for example.

It is the ONLY app that worked for my phone after the Gingerbread update

and I am amazed at how solid and stable it is.

I am a bit worried about whether there will be battery drain,

but even if that's the case,

I don't think I'll ever stop using it! ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES! :D

The "Don't answer" mode is GODLY!

The caller hears normal ringing but you get no notification!

Also I love the "No Logging" feature, because there are certain calls/sms

that I don't only want them blocked, but not even know they were made... ;)

My only concern is that it didn't ask me for root rights at all.

Could it be because I am running a custom ROM that sets /system rw at boot?

(Already sent detailed logs about it via the app, but I'll also post part of them here too!)

Internal error log:

Try rebooting - if you get a message saying "Root not exists" then just start RCB again.

And all the other call blockers are in a completely different class. None come even close to RCB.
[Android Apps and Games] iridaki:
I rebooted, the app autostarted in the background normally,

I tested to see if it was working by blocking my landline and then calling from it,

and it blocked the call just fine!

But still, no superuser popup at any point!

But I didn't get any errors like "Root not exist" either!

Everything seems normal... Should I be worried?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I shouldnt think so... seems to be a superuser problem anyway. Just try diabling RCB, killing it and then enablingf it again just to be sure!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Also ive noticed that the latest versions of su already have one of our apps added to the predefined rules list... maybe hes added RCB as well? What su are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] iridaki:
You are right! It was a SuperUser problem after all!

I use the new v3 beta and there was an option for "Always Allow" and it was ticked.

The app actually got superuser rights, I just didn't know about it and SU didn't keep a log!

So, all is well!

Thank you for your time and for this wonderful app! :)
[Android Apps and Games] willam71:
Hi,

I just installed the trial version and seems to be working properly.

Great programming job, for sure.

I have a question, though.

No matter which call blocking method I chose, there was always that very short first ring that many users reported in this thread. This way the caller knows that his/her call has been blocked, which some people may find rude. So, my question, is it technically feasible to block a call in such a way that the caller has no way of knowing about it? For example "pretend" the phone is switched off or in airplane mode?

Best,

Gabor
[Android Apps and Games] iridaki:
Use the "Don't answer" method.

The caller will hear normal ringing until he hangs up,

but you will not get notified! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] willam71:
True, but "don't answer" is not really blocking a call ... :)

I'd like my calls blocked without the caller noticing anything.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
What youre asking for is impossible. But if youve tested this app enough, you will see that it all depends on the network, not the phone.

Sometimes there is no first TONE at all, others a longer tone. There is almost never a whole ring.

I wouldnt be too paranoid though, most people would just assume that tone is a network issue or something. Theres really no need for a tin hat.

And of course, theres always dont answer.
[Android Apps and Games] willam71:
Thanks for the explanation.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Always here to help (almost)...
[Android Apps and Games] tuxintosh:
Hello,

I'm using the trial version 1.6.6 rev54

1) When I delete all from the black list in on of the profile. All the back list in every profile were deleted. And I'll have to gather the black list number one by one in every profile.

2) For anonymous(private & withheld) number, can Root Call Blocker makes my phone rings if anonymous call again within 2 minutes? I block anonymous call at night when I was sleeping. But I'm afraid sometimes urgent call from with anonymous number cannot reach me. So ring again within 2 minutes please.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] parcou:
The late update for the HTC Sence parallel calls when on the phone and a blocked call comes in....it now blocks

I did get the beep and it displayed incoming call.... Now no notification of an incoming call and I see it is blocked...yes I do get the beeps in the ear until it goes to voicemail (not an issue to me....so don't worry on that)...I could play with some options maybe like blocked calls send to voicemail...will looks

It is 100% success so thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Please send a log immediately using "write to us" in settings. Be sure to describe the issue.

Re allowing unknown numbers through after two minutes, its an interesting idea. Will look into it.

If you have it set to don't answer there is no way to get rid of the beeps I believe. But I'll look into it if you send some logs mate!
[Android Apps and Games] parcou:
No....man it's tight.... the beeps are not an issue no worries at all...excellent work...

I'm your newest Pro version buyer.. Waited long trying to get a way to buy without a credit card. Today, my virtual card was activated, and this is my first purchase from Google checkout. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more utilities in future..
[Android Apps and Games] tuxintosh:
1) How can I have 2 profiles active at the same time?

Default profile for all the black list call active for 24hrs. Another profile for anonymous call active at night.

I tried to schedule default profile from 00:00 to 00:00 and anonymous profile from 23:00 to 06:00. But didn't seem to work.

2) After installed Root Call Blocker, my weather app "tianqitong" crash every time it update weather and speak the out the weather. I have wrote and send to you. Hope you received.
[Android Apps and Games] Google REQ Xanax:
please add sms auto reply via either both

TextFree

TextPlus

The other "free" sms adware apps are permissions abusers. are use sms very seldomly. predominantly jabber is the instant messaging platform a choice.

because adware powered allegedly free sms is less than trustworthy please do not broadcast originally called number mine in the text message

Pm me a license that would b awesome
[Android Apps and Games] Google REQ Xanax:
sanity donate 2.12

how is this more awesome then sanity donate 2.12 combined with tasker
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Thanks, please leave a review :)

1 - you cant

2 - whatever you issue, it has nothing to do with RCB
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
1.6.7

- Delete all issue fixed

- Backup encryption added (simply re-save data to enable)

- Database optimizations implemented, speed increased

Enjoy!
[Android Apps and Games] willam71:
Still experimenting with the Lite version.

Set up voicemail now, a number which I own but is currently out of use.

No matter which block action I choose, not one of them redirects the caller to voicemail.

What am I missing?
[Android Apps and Games] tuxintosh:
1 - It is useful to have the default black list profile active 24hrs and the anonymous call profile active at preset time interval. Otherwise, I can't only block anonymous call at night time but the black listed call can ring my phone.

2 - Yes, RCB never crash but Tianqitong crash. I tried uninstall RCB and Tianqitong can update weather without crash.

By far, RCB is the best call blocker for LG-P970 because this phone never reject black list call. RCB can treat black list call ringing without showing on my phone. So LG-P970 will not treat the black list cal as missed call. And I realy wish RCB can suit my use.
[Android Apps and Games] Droidzone:
You can help the dev debug the issue by monitoring your logcat and providing logs of the period surrounding the crash..
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Please send logsd using "write to us" in the app the next time this happens!
[Android Apps and Games] tuxintosh:
Sorry, I don't know how to monitor the logcat. Can you please tell me how?

[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Question:

Answer:

Logcats are useless, the only debugging tool you need is our own (its in all our root-enabled apps).

Just reproduce the error and then click "Write to us" - be sure to include a description as we will not look at your log otherwise, it will go directly to archive.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
By the way, ive already got logs from you! So dont worry. Ill see what can be done.

But i must warn you, other apps crashing because of our daemon is not a high-priority issue. As a business, we have to attempt to address issues that dent our income first. Which means that chinese weather apps are not high up on the list.

But you can try convincing me that this is something important that i should spend my time (time=money) on! Im willing to listen...
[Android Apps and Games] IamJAX:
Instead if being rude, can't you just say to contact the author of weather app to make it compatible with RCB?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Instead of being petty and ignorant, why don't you contact them? And while you're at it why not try reading my post again and then quoting the parts exactly that you feel offended by?

Hopefully you will be bumping this thread with qualified opinions for the rest of the day so I can take some time off to enjoy the last of the summer weather...
[Android Apps and Games] :
Would adding a reply to blocked text to go along with teply to blocked call pad your pockets any? Lol
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yes, yes it would. Thanks for the suggestion!
[Android Apps and Games] tuxintosh:
I also request the chinese weather app to fix the crash. I understand that the chinese weather app crash but not RCB.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] vineetksirohi:
best app for call blocking
[Android Apps and Games] IamJAX:
Since I came across this app, I am using it as well as reading this thread regularly. I didn't ask you to contact weather app dev. When one of your customer complains about weather app(which you have no control), just politely tell your customer to contact the other app's dev and not you.

You makes excellent apps. You fixes bugs promptly, listen to your users and implement their suggestions. But if you check your market reviews, you will see lots of low star ratings are for your rude attitude (and from newbies trying out your app on non rooted phones)

you make awesome apps and I don't mind bumping your threads :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I explained my strategy adequately - a Chinese weather app is not high on any priority list first and foremost because that great nation has no access to the android market, and therefore can not earn me or anyone else any money.

I really cant see what part of my post offended that guy. Perhaps reality scares him.
[Android Apps and Games] IamJAX:
Project Omega

Any news on Omega? :D
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yep, the beta has now been going for 3 weeks, a public release is coming in about 9 days :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
There are no more than 5 or so who object to my character.

Ask yourself this: why on earth would someone keep writing "great app rude dev" reviews? Could it be because they are suffering from some sort of mental health imbalance that forces them to be belligerent even though we marked their communiques as spam long ago and havent actually had a conversation in months?

Just use what happened a few posts up as an example:

And here is the answer:

Now, read what i wrote carefully and PLEASE OH PLEASE tell me where i was rude. Dont bother, I wasnt until now. And why now? Its because that kind of ACTUAL rudeness towards the developers who publish on this forum is what really ticks us off.

In effect that one foolish comment and the two people that thanked it are what really makes devs explode. Which is why the vast majority of developers dont engage their users at all for fear of being misconstrued by some pansy who cant read proper english or whatever.

Meh. Its all in a days work.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Updated. Heres the gist of it:

1.6.8

- Fixed restricted caller recognition issues

- Added restart telephony option

- Daemon library modifications for extra speed

- Strings corrected
[Android Apps and Games] xaudiblex:
So far this app sounds amazing. There are a few things I would like to know about your app.

1) Can this app block invalid numbers? i.e.-phone numbers that have more than 10 digits?

2) can you block out area codes?

3) How does the app react when you are on a phone call? (i.e.-if you are on a call, will it still vibrate your phone or will it not show up at all?)

This could be my reason to switch from Mr. Number. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
1 - yes

2 - yes

3 - depends on your rom, should not vibrate on the vast majority - if it does send some logs we will deal with it!

And regarding mr number. Root Call Blocker is in a different class entirely. mr number is for people with no root.
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
1.After updating to new version (most of times the same behaviour) - NO GSM/gray indicator. Restarting phone service does not help, pin window is invisible, phone is like in airplane mode but this mode can not be turned off.In few words - after updating 'enter pin window' is sometimes invisible.

Send as log. Ok i wanted and i wrote long description but when i click send it showed me sms window. I do not have gmail installed because i removed it. So:

2.Feature request - build internal message service so user does not have to install mail client from market.

It could be something like:

-user write description of problem.

-rcb.apk procedure is packing log and description into /tmp/log_nick.zip

-rcb.apk is sending /tmp/log_nick.zip to www.awesome-rcb.com?get_log_from_user.php?data=whatever_your_method

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
From the logs we cannot see any problem. Can you please send some logs immediately after reboot?
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
ok, i can install mail client later, - can you spread out new version which updates this low level service to recreate hiding of 'enter pin' window and i will send you log.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Also, are you using a stock rom/ stock pin screen?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Well, which is it?
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:

No additional pin screen, normal,included.
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
ok, i installed mail client, tell me what to do exactly next time - just send log after no window is shown or reboot and send log after reboot ?

or both
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Doesnt really matter - just send the log next time you do boot and get the error (from your description, it only occurs on boot)...
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
it only occurs after updating, immediately, after installing new version i go into apps, run root call blocker to check whats new, there is message rcb has got su, gsm indicator becomes gray like in airplane mode but instead airplane there is X sign but enter pin window is somwhere hidden in background invisible.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Im looking into it. But looks like some kind of weird rom problem, as you are the only one with this problem at the moment. I suggest you also update your radio. What the pin has to do with it I don't understand at all.

As for loosing network for a while, that is supposed to happen. After install rcb always restarts telephony.
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
exactly - it restarts telephony and pin windows does not shows up again.

Now, in this moment i did following things:

1.i opened newest rcb.

2.settings

3.i pressed restart telephony

4.wait

5. enter pin - showed, i entered pin

6.enter pin showed second time - i entered pin

7.enter pin showed third time - i entered pin

8.Network -ok indicator white, ok gsm ok.

So i suppose everything is ok.

But

When updating:

from 1 to 4 everything is as above

but it stops on point 4 - gsm indicator is gray with X, no gsm and i had to restart phone after updating rcb and then it is ok.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I think you just need to wait longer for telephony to be restarted...
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Updated, added toggle widget (i know the graphic isnt perfect, ill change it next week!)
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
todays update - with widget

did not restart telephony so nothing happened...
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
So if you do it manually, what does happen?
