About the 4 min thingy, yeah, its reproducible.

Galaxy S II loads up pretty fast with signal working immediately. Only with RCB then it exhibits this 4 min delay.

And no, this never happens in my Galaxy S (stock or Cyanogen) previously.

Both on 2.3.3
[Android Apps and Games] jackleung:
I reported the same issue with LBE previously as well. And I found the stock camera app of GSII not working as well. Can you try?
[Android Apps and Games] :
crashed after pressing the 'a-z' button in the black list.

crashes upon accessing the black/white list even after quitting RCB and re-starting it.

log sent.
[Android Apps and Games] d_gritza:
This is all kinds of good news.

Issue with White List

Hi,

i have an issue with whitelist.

I'm italian but I travel a lot, so for this reason i have in my phonebook number in this format:

- 0039345123123

If i add this number to white list, it work if calling number is sent in this format, otherwise will be blocked.

For example I'm now in USA and number will arrive as 39345123123 and call blocker block it.

It's a bug or there is something in configuration?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hi, what you need to do in your case is use our handy "Digit comparison" slider. Look in the help for a proper explanation of how it works!
[Android Apps and Games] marcolino7:
Hi,

My number in white list is: 00393471212123

Caller number is: 393471212123

I tryed to setup digits comparsion to 10,11,12,13,14,7 but call always blocked.

How I have to setup for my example?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Try *393471212123
[Android Apps and Games] marcolino7:
It works,

but does it means that I cannot use Phonebook to populate whitelist, but I have to do Manually. I have 50 number in whitelist......very annoing.

This is a bug or normal behaviour?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] digital0verdose:
Has anyone tried this on an x2? How is it working?
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
I think you shud enter '+' in place of '00'

try this, thn select multiple number from contact list
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yep, they are right, the correct convention is to use the + sign instead of the old 00.

BUT THIS IS A BUG AND WE HAVE FIXED IT.

We think we have also fixed the problems some people have had with voicemail.

The next release is coming today or tomorrow, just hold on kids.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Im curious why you dont just try it. We do have a trial version.
[Android Apps and Games] tharf:
It's not a bug, so maybe I'm not in the right place here : do you plan to set the price in Euros ?

I'm in France, and when buying in another currency, my bank always charge at least 1€ !

I prefer to give money to developers rather than to my bank :)

Btw, great app!
[Android Apps and Games] SkzBR:
Thank you for making us that tested it for long time have a limited version :)

I really loved the program.
[Android Apps and Games] digital0verdose:
Because I don't get a lot of call from these types of numbers, at least not frequent enough to do any real testing, and I do not want to end up with a bug that actually blocks legit calls like some of the posters have mentioned.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I want aware this could be done. As far as I know, you can only set a price in other currencies in select territories, none of which are Russia. I might be wrong though, ill look into it.

I bet youre one of the people who wrote reviews like "Worked perfectly when it was free. 1 star."

Just to put you in your place, heres a little statistic - 50-60000 xda members downloaded my Screenshot ER app from here for free. 39 of them said "Thanks".

You can still do lots of testing. Use skype to call yourself for example. Also, dont forget that "Only one ITEM is allowed per profile" - this means you can add any item in the Add numbers dialog, giving you the full scope of the app to play with.
[Android Apps and Games] jdostal:
I route my unanswered calls to GVoice on a rooted EVO 4G. All the block methods still drop the caller to GVoice. Any way to prevent that? Apologize if this has been answered already, too many pages to read through!
[Android Apps and Games] marcolino7:
Hi,

I'm waiting for the update to fix 00 issue.

Thans
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Its already fixed. I will release the update in the next few hours.
[Android Apps and Games] mox123:
ive stopped using this app and now using extreme call blocker, would rather pay for that as its much more feature orientated

the only good thing about root call blocker was it was free,

then you had to go fu** that up,

goodbye
[Android Apps and Games] digital0verdose:
Wow! :eek:

Was that necessary?
[Android Apps and Games] Grommish:
I've used EBC and RCB.. rbc works better without having to stick to certain ringtones.. the gimme gimme attitude makes me giggle.
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
RCB is much much better thn any available call blocker in market, as i am using call blocker since 5 yrs, n almost every app i have tried in symbian as well android.

Ofcourse RCB still behind Interactive call manager available for symbian. but we cant compare b'coz it is due to limitation of android itself. If we find price is factor we shudn't atleast use bad words for application, price which decided by developer is value of his work wat he shud feel appropriate, even i was one of fellow who oppose, wen developer gave idea abt monthly charge. But price of 2.49$ does it matter wen it gives u peace of mind?
[Android Apps and Games] eresac:
Just my two cents

I've been using this for a while now (I'm still on beta).

Have to say this is the one really and fully working I've found among the many I've tried.

I've been searching for an app working this way over the years, a over the OS I've had (symbian, WM, ...).

This is perfect.

Just a couple of suggestion (my two cents):

- take a number to add to black/white-list from SMS log (could be useful for example to add service-sms to whitelist)

- have the possibility to store sms in a place to choose
[Android Apps and Games] marcolino7:
Hi,

after last update 00 issue fixed here in USA.

I'll do a test also when I'll came back to Italy.

I would like to give a couple of suggestion for new feature:

- A widget to Enable/Disable Call Blocker

- A different color of the icon in Notification bar is Call Blocker is enabled or not. For Example Green mean not Enabled, Red mean Enabled

After this 2 item i think RCB will be perfect

Many Thank

Marco
[Android Apps and Games] triniprodigy:
I was wondering if there was any way that a custom message could come up telling the caller that they need to unblock their number, instead of taking the call directly to voicemail. I have browsed through some of the posts and I do see many requests for the call not to go directly to voicemail. If a custom greeting could come up telling callers that they need to unblock their number, I think that would be a great feature to add. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Ok, have we fixed the voicemail issues? Also, are you not able to receive SMS?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Updated - fixed sms bug on some devices.
[Android Apps and Games] xborfi:
any updates for this dude?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Next week you shall have SMS replies, vibration, block from caller id screen and contact groups.

Tomorrow we will be releasing a test update with a totally rewritten daemon, this is a stability update. New features are the easy part - getting stuff to work across 400 different devices is not so easy.
[Android Apps and Games] marcolino7:
When Widget?

Different color icon in notification bar is planned?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Rrrrr. Everything takes time. There are three of us working on it and the features currently available have taken us 2 months. Make an estimate.
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
*ignore post*
[Android Apps and Games] marcolino7:
Hi,

sorry for make you angry. I would only know if my 2 feature request are on to do list.

That's all. I'm a developer too and I can understand you.

Thanks a lot for your work
[Android Apps and Games] sitx:
Hi,

i will test it too. When i get some troubles / problems with this app, i will report...
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
You can always visit the blog, its very educational...
[Android Apps and Games] Noiz:
Thanks a lot for this fantastic app, been after a decent Magicall replacement ever since I switched to Android! Bought it without hesitation. :)

Having come across the below bug regarding international dialling codes (still fixed in the next version?) it got me wondering about how the number comparison actually works. It seems like it compares from the first digit and works forward, but with area codes and the like often being the same across many numbers, would it not make more sense to compare from the last digit and work backward?

I'm also not really sure why the number of compared digits is even a selectable option. Why not just compare the incoming number for an exact match in the black/white list (with something in place to account for numbers starting with a +) and be done with it? The help section isn't very clear on why it's done like this at all.

Interested to hear your thoughts on the matter, and keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] pearpear:
is it possible to import black list from file?

if so, what's the file format?!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
No, its currently not possible. We have a more complicated system that has profiles not lists.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
By the way... are people still having trouble with voicemail? And im not talking about people who have it turned on - they seem to think this is somehow configurable from the device...
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
so have any inroads being made for the compatibility issues with GS2?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Which issues? As far as i know, it works perfectly. If you are talking about the daemon starting - i believe you called it airplane mode - i thought we had fixed this for you?
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
My apologies. I had not noticed that it has been updated as I had uninstalled RCB while waiting for a fix.

Yes, its working perfectly now on startup. Thank you very much.

Hopefully Im not touching on any raw nerves here but I just tested with LBE again and it crashes as before. Im not implying that its RCB or LBE's fault here. Just curious to see if this was fixed too while I was away.

Thank you very much for the daemon fix. Appreciate it. :)
[Android Apps and Games] g26er:
+1 I'd like to use both
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Guys - you need to be talking to the LBE guy. Our app is working just as it should.
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
LBE sucks anyway - i always have network connectivity troubles then gave up on it seems pointless
[Android Apps and Games] DreamWiva:
Just want to congratulate you for making such an amazing app ! Had to buy the pro version to show my support. By far the best app that I have on my phone. Well done guys ! Looking forward to future updates.
[Android Apps and Games] Rashkae:
Just to check... does this app also delete the call log, or does the blocked call log still show, or it just never even has a chance to get listed? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
The best way to thank me is by using the "Thanks" button ;)

Blocked calls are not included in the dialer log. You can delete any item in either the call or sms log by long pressing. You can use the same dialog to delete any item/list in the app!

On a side note, a major update has just been rolled out that fixes many daemon stability issues and should truly make RCB the universal blocking app.

Oh, and theres a few new features too ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Rashkae:
Thank you for the reply. :)
[Android Apps and Games] meh123:
Feature requests (both of which are in Magicall under Windows Mobile):

1. Based on an event (call, text message, string in a text message, etc.) you can have Root Call Blocker:

- launch an application/script

- Terminate an application

- Shut down phone/factory reset phone/SMS back with GPS coordinates or IP address, etc.

2. Ability to run rules based on if the phone is roaming or not.
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
Not sure if you have received my logs but apparently the RCB daemon startup can be impacted by Droidwall too.

Do advise if you need me to resend the logs.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Repeatedly crippling data connection. I have read same complaint over market too

Samsung Galaxy S 2.3.3 (XXJVK)

[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hey dr.k i havent been able to find the cause. Could you please send some more logs?
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Oh i went to older version (first version of Pro) it is error free for me, neway i am updating n will send u bug report wen i lost network
[Android Apps and Games] :
sounds like my tasker support request.

the dev has noted it.
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
@ftgg99

A VERY GOOD SURPRISE INDEED!

You latest update not only resolve the daemon startup issue with Droidwall but LBE as well!

And now it works perfect! I don't know how you did it, but you did it!

Good job and thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Glad to hear it! Did you have any troubles with root at all?
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
Zero, Nil, Zilch!

Try as I might, I cannot find anything critical to complain of. No root issues at all.

Once I install the new update, I just reboot and it prompt me with the root permission. Granted and everything else works. Found it strange that connectivity came up immediately and reboot again. No more daemon bootup issue. Got excited and install LBE. Rebooted and no FCs on RCB and LBE.

They finally made up :D

Its a very fabulous update indeed!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Good to know. If anything has changed, dont forget to leave a kind word on the market ;)
[Android Apps and Games] meh123:
Sounds great, that would make this application complete!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
We will be either making a tasker plugin or our own script system in the future... there are however higher priority features ahead in line.
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Hey it is fixed after installation of y'day release

No data connection loss since thr, Thx
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
Such as what?
[Android Apps and Games] outbackpaul:
I have the full version and am having trouble with Scheduling. I have a profile called Night that is operating as a White List. The profile called Night is scheduled from 9pm to 9am but it never activates. I have to select it manually. It also never deactivates at 9am, I have to do it manually. The only other profile I have is the default profile. Is there a certain order that I have to add a profile or could this be a bug?

I have a CDMA HTC Desire.

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
We have a new test version out for our testers that has global exceptions, if all goes well it will be up this evening!
[Android Apps and Games] harland3:
Apparently I've been having problems with picture messages getting through.

I have block mode set to whitelist (calls & SMS), only exception being numbers in my phone book.

Also worth noting, I'm on T-Mobile...

For a while now, I've been getting blocked SMS's from "206", "207", "208" & "209" that only read "nullnullnull"

As it turns out, those are picture messages (from whitelisted people in my phone book) that I never got, nor could I retrieve.

A really simple fix was to add numbers 200-209 to my whitelist manually, but I just thought I'd bring it up in case it could be of any help to the developers.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hi mate. Im one of the developers. Please, send us a proper log using the "Write to developer" menu item in Settings.

Be sure to put everything you said above in the description field. If you do this, I will be able to fix the issue very quickly, as there is an update slated for tomorrow morning with new features.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Updated - from 1.3 to 1.3.1 to 1.3.2.

All in the space of 1 hour. I do believe we are on another one of our rolls!
[Android Apps and Games] scutworker:
Hi,

Great app; useful for blocking all sorts of telemarketers

One thing: on my T-Mobile UK HTC Desire with Hullomail as my voicemail provider, rejecting a call with 'Fast Reject' gives the message that 'the phone is busy, so your call is being diverted'.

Is there anyway that the call can be rejected so that it appears that the phone is switched off thereby giving the message "the number called is not available"?

All other methods of rejecting just give a long beeping noise to the caller with no voicemail at all.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hi, please dont double post. I have already replied to you in the PSAD thread.
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
New version 1.3.2 tested, working perfact on SGS 2.3.3

Exception rules also working well, I think exception rule is lacking of block method selection. But ne way working well with default selection
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
If anyone has troubles, please reboot your device. The daemon may need a proper restart, depending on the version you updated from and the state of the radio at first run.
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
Hi, i did have some small errors at first run when addind to the exceptions, but after reboot everything was normal. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
Great app.

Please add option to fake answer - cheating.

For example caller thinks that he is hearing waiting to answer phone signal but he really hears our prerecorded earlier signal and his moneys counting.

ANd option for dtmf based like - please press button number 2 to record message.And ability to record messages, and ability to create fake environment with custom noises like when we are talking with someone we press button and caller hears airplane or fart sound or what we record earlier, and ability for caller to press button and we will get some text message on screen later, and ability for enter password by dtmf like our recorded voice tells: please enter password and caller press for example 12345 set previously by us and then app is enabling ringtone and we hear it loud, and ability to playing music in background which will be hearable to caller.

[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hi mate! Our philosophy is minimalism, so not all of your suggestions will see the light of day.

Some however are already on the todo list.
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
Which ones will and which wont make it!?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Well the whole thing with prerecorded messages playing instead of the ringing in dont answer will certainly not be in this app - it goes against the spirit of things.
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
I see... is sounds like its very complicated :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I understand the idea, but its ideologically incompatible with RCB. We are making a blocker for an OEM at the moment and expect a version of it will also be released on the market - it would be a more suitable candidate for these kinds of features.
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
Another idea:

Lets say that you accidentally gave your phone number to your boss in work.

And he tries to call you.

But of course you blocked him.

But also some people knows about stuff like call blocker and they know that you can have it.

So boss can think - 'maybe he blocked my phone number ? Hmm i will go to shop and buy another prepaid sim card to call him from new number he doesnt have so he couldnt block, maybe he didnt blocked ALL UNKNOWN, or: i will borrow phone from someone and i will call him from it, or: i will borrow phone from his brother/sister/girlfriend/someone he likes in my company so he will answer it because he will not know that its me'.

AND I AM BUSTED.

So idea is - make option for root call blocker that

if

There will be call from blacklist and will be blocked

then

RCB will block every other calls for [CUSTOM_SETTING_PERRIOD_OF_TIME_WITH_OTHER_RULES_OR_EXCEPTIONS].
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
+ Is there option for redirect calls to some number ? For example in phonepilot in symbian i remember entering number which does not exist, so caller heard voice from operator 'there is no such number'.
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
+location GPS based blocking ? For example do not block me if i am in canada. Or allow people to call me if i am 2miles from work place but not where i am more than 2 miles away.

+roaming dependent blocking ? For example start blocking for [this] numbers and not for [this] when my network name change to {custom name like 'TMOBILE'}. (to not pay for incoming calls so people from work dont even bother calling to me, only family can when i am abroad)
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
+random reject mode/method for example

[BADBOSS] is calling first time

method - fast reject

[BADBOSS] is calling second time

random(method) -> fast reject or alt or slow reject or random whatever seed will be (it can be settings for it - for user to select random method of reject or just next in order method of reject)
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Last version, everything works fine on SGS 2.3.3, Thanx for adding transfer block SMS log to phone, i was waiting since long, as well rule for exception.

Now I can expect Answering machine feature, or may be as standalone application from your side
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
why not

Root call blocker - so block option from unknown numbers is ok, right ?

So if unknown number is calling - RCB is blocking and it is ok.

But there should be option to additionally inform caller with previously recorded,own user message smth like "I am sorry but i do not answer calls from unknown numbers, please send sms and introduce yourself and maybe later i will add you to my list".

this would be great and it is in context and in spirit of blocking.

ftgg99 -developer of this great app- can now ask and this is ok and good question:

Q: - There is sms functionality for inform someone that was blocked

A1: yeah - but why shhould i pay for sms if it is in caller interest to reach me so he only should be the one who pays

A2:yeah but most people will not known if i will use tts to record some nice voice if this is my voice or operator informing that i do not want calls from unknowns.
[Android Apps and Games] tommo123:
i came here to req same as above ^

play back some kind of message to inform caller that i don't accept witheld numbers. especially as businesses calling my mobile always withold numbers
