I love this app. Had a female I didn't talk to anymore call me private because she didn't want me to have her new number, I got tired of it and blocked all private calls. Now she calling me straight through lol. Females crazy j/k
[Android Apps and Games] bbgt2:
Same issue here. After deleting app I do not have issues with losing signal after boot and will not get signal back until app gets su permission. With the Gnex already having signal/ data issues I don't need more.
[Android Apps and Games] lexobys:
It is working perfectly fine, till I noticed that it kills sim toolkit all the time..

update 1.8.3.18 - didn't work for me

I just updated to 1.8.3.18 and now when I open the app, I get a message saying it shouldn't be saved to sd card verify the location and reinstall....

I have a galaxy nexus running jb 4.1 and haven't had this issue until now. I technically don't even have an sd card, but I know it has a pseudo one in the file structure. I rebooted and reinstalled but now luck.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] jwinberg:
Same for me to, but i reinstalled the app, the error about the sd card disaperd but the now it wont block any calls or sms.

All calls and sms comes thrue and calls are still loged in block list but its coming thrue, sms is not loged and showing as normal.

Also running Jelly Bean, Galaxy Nexus.
[Android Apps and Games] jwinberg:
Done the update, still not fixing blocking issue on galaxy nexus jelly bean, all calls and sms comes thrue
[Android Apps and Games] Exocet85:
Same here, running Jelly Bean (4.1.1) on a Galaxy Nexus, rooted, but all calls come through. I have sent a report through the app, hopefully this can be fixed soon !

Also; I assume that Call Master uses the same method for blocking; or does this work on JB 4.1.1 at this moment ?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Are you quite certain? What version are you on?
[Android Apps and Games] Exocet85:
Android version: 4.1.1

Kernel: 3.0.31-g6fb96c9

Build number: JRO03C

Root call blocker pro version: 1.8.3.20 rev 10083020

And I'm quite sure all settings are correct; it's configured in the same way as on my Motorola Atrix, when it worked just fine (on Android 2.2).
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
The thing is, we have done an extensive round of testing. There are 4000 JB users atm.

Are you certain you have actually turned it on? Or that it has root? Or that youre using the right operating mode for your list?

If yes, reboot your device, try calling yourself from a blocked number a few times and then click "write to us" in settings to send logs. Be sure to include a description or your logs will be ignored.
[Android Apps and Games] mntsvn:
I have a STAR N8000 Android 4.0.3 and RCB does not blocks calls or sms.

Please other users with a STAR N8000 could confirm it?
[Android Apps and Games] Exocet85:
I'm sure that it's on, operating mode is black list and I want to use the 'don't answer' method, which is also selected. I had tried to reboot before without succes, but now it gets stranger:

- I started RCB and unchecked 'enable call blocking', then rebooted the phone (via power button)

- Started RCB again and checked the box 'enable call blocking'. The message 'root call blocker pro has been granted superuser permissions' popped up.

- Now I tried to call with another cellphone and voila, no call came through.

- After starting RCB again, the number appears in the log screen, but now, when I returned to the Android homescreen and tried to call again, the call came through again.

I have replicated the same situation with another blocking method (reject call), this also worked (but only the first call) when I changed the blocking method and followed exactly the same procedure as above. The second and subsequent calls (from the same phone/number of course) all come through.

I will submit a report through the app with the same description. Thanks for your help, any other pointers would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Your statement doesnt indicate anything... lets hope the logs are more illuminating.
[Android Apps and Games] panooos:
Have been using the app for a long time and it has worled flawlessly. It's over a month now though that i have a problem with the hidden mode.

Turning hidden mode on after having set the secret number. Everything works fine. After a couple of days though when i call the secret number nothing happens. Then i obviously have to uninstall and reinstall the app. And it goes all over again. Works perfect for a couple of days then secret number goes useless.

Same problem with 3 different ROMs and kernels.

Was wondering if i'm doing sth terribly wrong and if a log sent through the app would help you identify the problem.

Thank you in advance
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
A log with description would help, but only immediately after the issue occurrs.
[Android Apps and Games] pittnuma:
All going well still, can I ask where is the list backup kept? Would like to sync this to my drop box for those reformat moments!
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
Dude,

Had send you an error report on 14th July but did not receive any reply.

RCB reset network mode to GSM/WCDMA each time its started up even if I set it to WCDMA previously. Problem occurs when in flight mode or when no signal.

I want the setting to remain at

WCDMA

permanently. Not sure when this bug was introduced but it was doable on S2.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] panooos:
It would actually be impossible to send a log after the issue has occured. As i have said i have no access to the app, since secret number is not working. Only sollution is to uninstall/reinstall app but i guess sending a log afterwards would offer nothing. I have sent one though just in case.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yes i realise that.

re the wcdma switch. Sometyhing to do with the radio, works fine on most phones, i will explore it further but its not high priority.
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
Will do.

The main annoyance is that it takes an awfully long time over in my country to switch to 3G after its in 2G. Basically I need to wait a quite a while when I need it to do some quick browsing. Then after it idle and I want to Facebook or surf, again I need wait for it to switch to 3G. Not deal breaker but definitely an annoyance.

Please

indicate it in your changelo

g when its done. I will not be using RCB meanwhile.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Why don't you just use a different radio?
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
I have this problem actually since the first day I bought my S3. Initially I thought it was a rom issue and have been flashing different roms from different regions.

I have flashed different modems and different roms to test, from LF2, LFB to the latest LG3. There are more but I cant recall all of them.

It was only by chance that I realise it was caused by RCB. Both functions are indispensable but I choose the lesser devil to live with for now. Waiting for the switching is tediously painful as I use 3G mostly while on the go and at home.

If you are able to advise a modem that actually works, I will be glad to use it

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Ill ask one of my colleagues, but our s3s are european... and they work flawlessly!
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
But do theirs revert to last set status? WCDMA or GSM but not WCDMA/GSM for example.

I do a clean format with clean rom with nothing but RCB with a new profile. Unlikely its my set this way, right?

Since you mentioned it was a known issue, there are other I9300 users with this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] Bazooka Joe:
Hi, guys... Well I actually didn't need the features this app provides, bub mym mom did. Her exfried was able to call her always due to any reason. So, I installed her this app and no problems any more. Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
OK, enjoy.

Re wdcma - everything works as expected for us. I will continue looking into in.
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
Seriously appreciate that. Handling unwanted calls are getting tedious too.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
In the meantime, have you tried Call Master? It may work better in your case.
[Android Apps and Games] mntsvn:
Sorry but in my opinon this app is still alpha, almost with dual SIM devices.

On a STAR N 8000 Android 4.0.3 it does not block call, secret mode does not work and it interferes with the operation of the Sims.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hi. Welcome to the community! What, in your respected opinion, is a better choice of call blocker for that truly random, deeply misunderstood device thats popular in china, the star n 8000?
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
It is not needed, to have an app to do a duplicate functionality, especially so when its due to a bug.

If I need to have a certain functionality in Call Master, I will look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I don't classify your problem as a bug - if it does not occur on 99 percent of phones, the problem is likely from related or device related. And CM doesn't duplicate, it has a different approach to the radio restart and more internal debug tools.
[Android Apps and Games] i_fiorentino:
Hi to all,

i've bought this app from about one year and i'm very apreciated the functionality.

I've created four times frames to reject all incoming calls.

From about one month (i don't know why) the incoming calls are blocked also in other times frames.

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy SII with Android ICS 4.0.3.

Thanks for any help,

Alessandro
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hi, send us logs after this happens, be sure to include a detailed description about the numbers that are being blocked in the wrong profiles.

However, thius can be cause by corrupted backups, so the easiest fiix is to recreate them from scratch (you can always keep the backups).
[Android Apps and Games] i_fiorentino:
Thanks for your quick reply!

Where can i find log file?

Regards,

Alessandro
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
You need to use the "write to us" feature. But first, you need to try recreating from s ratchet.

I hate to sound like a victim of the ambient morality, but

ROOT CALL BLOCKER IS ON SALE - ONLY $2.99 FOR A LIMITED TIME
[Android Apps and Games] boomerbsg:
which JB version did you test on? I was using JBsourcery and it doesnt work at all.. but on ICSourcery it works fine.

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I was testing it on aosp, without any sorcery. You know, android built by people who know what theyre doing.
[Android Apps and Games] sunfury:
I noticed that Root Call Blocker is more battery friendly than Call Master. I reverted back to Root Call Blocker.

I tested both with Better Battery Stats and Call Master makes severeal, many many wake-ups while Root Call Blocker is virtually non existent on stats.

BTW, off topic, but I am disappointed that you ignored my issues concerning Wireless Power Chief, maybe you miss my message. Just a note :(
[Android Apps and Games] boomerbsg:
right.. wait.. did a dev just insult other devs? lol classic.

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Let me guess, you think all developers are equal?

Dont be silly. Copy pasting files does not a developer make.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I use Call Master on one phone to block spam and route some callers to vm or my other phone. I also use the privacy features (without the ultra-paranoid autosweep) for sms and stuff. The battery lasts for 1 - 2.5 days. As with any phone ive had in the last 5 years (excluding iphones).

Suggest that instead of anecdotal evidence you forge ahead with scientific method - install both for one day, starting at full battery. Be sure to disable features like auto log sweeping, privacy mode, number formatting and anything else thats not available in rcb. Performance will be similar.

Moral of story? For the good stuff you must pay :)

Regarding WPC. Sorry, remind me please.

By the way, app is on sale at half price for another 32 hours :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] Markuzy:
Just bought your app :)

Am wondering whether there will be a pop up (or notification) whenever an unknown call comes through to ask whether you want to block before/after the call.

Similar to sms too.

I used Avast previously and I find that bit very convenient without going into the app.

Anyway, everything seems to work well so far. Will let it run through the week to see how it goes. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I am planning to do this via notifications. It will happen in the next major release, when MMS support will also be added.

There will never be a popup.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Only a few hours of the sale left!
[Android Apps and Games] Markuzy:
Ah :)

That's great~

Notifications are neater in my opinion. The Avast pop up sort of interferes with my sms pop up.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Its just an ugly way of doing it in general. I personally use Call Master (our other blocker app) which has a very different input system well suited to my own needs. IMO even the notification is way too much... but i recognize how some people would find it familiar.

With RCB the problem is the profile system, which makes it more difficult to add numbers because there are not general lists - you will still not have control over schedules and so on. If you need this functionality id recommend you upgrade to CM.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Only 6 hours of the sale left - get it while its less than half price!

ZORG i need money to feed my children.
[Android Apps and Games] sinisin:

[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:

[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Just visited thread after more thn 6month

Purchased appl when it was beta, that time name was donation version.

Never need to ask for support, purchased while on sgs1 and since 10 month on note.

Opinion about appl in one line

'for android therer is no better call blocker on earth than this'

Missing 1 feature (and missing symbian for only that reason) that is record voice msg within appl, i know there is limitation of android itself, but hoping for best.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hey dk long time no see :)

As youve said, there are technical limitations that will probably never be overcome.

Re RCB being the best, thanks, though i do feel Call Master is better (for me at least).
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Yeah call master is better, but i have puechased rcb since day 1 and it having all function.which i needs, so didn't think.to update :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
If you like i can upgrade you for free, a special for an old customer.
[Android Apps and Games] jhuff83:
Under Profiles - Exceptions - Always block, I sometimes get a force close of the com.android.phone when pressing this. On the Galaxy S 3 for Sprint.
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:

But as I said everything is there in rcb which I need. And already I have created list, so not planning right now.

Will ask you if I need it. Again thank a lot.

@all

This is real developer's support, many here needs to look it.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yep im aware of this. Should be fixed next update.

OK, just let me know via the thread or email or something. And thanks for your kind words ;)
[Android Apps and Games] lordmorphous:
Would there be any advantage to Root Call Blocker over Call Master? I purchased Call Master a while back not realizing I didn't need the advanced features and am curious if there is any drawback in battery usage, etc of using it over RCB.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
That depends on the features you use in CM.
[Android Apps and Games] lordmorphous:
I block unknown and restricted numbers and a handful of manually entered numbers. They're set to block always block. That is all. I don't block SMS as I don't even have a texting plan. I do all my texting via GV.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
The difference in battery use will be negligible in that scenario.
[Android Apps and Games] blitzkriegh:
hi i love the root blocker in S3 if I'm in ICs but things slowly change when i flashed a JB custom rom. It doesn't work anymore and sometimes even if the number is not blocked, i don't hear any ring tones nor there's no notification. i lost my signal sometimes and have to restart or disable RCB. What gives? Recently been trying around different JB roms like Omega, Foxhound and HD Revolution but till RCB doesn't work... Can you help?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
All these jb roms are based on a broken leak. No self respecting developer will "fix" things like this. If you really need jelly bean, use CM10, or wait until an official release. Funny that - aosp works but touchwiz doesnt. How you can stomach it i just dont know... all those crazy colors... like playing with the plastic balls in a mcdonalds playpen.

One of the reasons i know things will HAVE to change in the official release is because half the character sets dont work in the sms messenger. God knows what other crap is in there.
[Android Apps and Games] blitzkriegh:
How about call master does it have the same issues with JB leaks?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Ive failed to get through to you haven't I? Its not RCB that has issues with the leak, its the leak that has issues with RCB (and CM).
[Android Apps and Games] brfsa:
hi, this app Looks great, I've tried it long ago here at xda,

but lost It after rom upgrades.

Anyways, now i need it and i installed again.

I wonder when will you have a Sale again? How can i Be notified of a sale? Really looking forward to buy it.

Also, is there any FAQ page that i can read about the main differences between RCB and Call Master?

Thanks for the great app.
[Android Apps and Games] blitzkriegh:
no worries. I have since reverted to ICs just to utilize the app. is there any JB leak that this app works for S3 ?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I dont know, but when the official build comes out we will see what needs to be done. As i said, stick to CM10, which ive been told works fine on the s3.
[Android Apps and Games] kendive:
Is it just me or does root call blocker not work too well blocking sms?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Are you ken from the store comments? Because if you are, there are no known issues with your Droid razor. Most likely just user error.

And what exactly does "not too well" mean?
[Android Apps and Games] james_lpool:
It's never let me down, I really like the app :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
An update delivering full compatibility with the official branch of Galaxy S III devices is on the way.
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Is this ready for jellybean? Soon moving to note 2

Sorry if answered already.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yep its for the jb branch that was released a month ago. They changed a lot of flags for touchwiz, so we were waiting for an official release to fix things.
[Android Apps and Games] kendive:
Don't know what your talking about... :confused:

That's kool you don't want to help. I am sure you are busy.

Shady SMS 3.0 take care of blocking SMS and MMS. I will just continue using it for blocking text.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Im talking about some guy called ken with a droid razr who said in a review that sms blocking was not working.
[Android Apps and Games] kendive:
When I first started using this app I had the T-Bolt... I think this app works great blocking calls... The best I have seen yet.

But I go between my T-Bolt, Bionic, and the RAZR MAXX...
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
As promised:

1.8.3.22

Fixed compatibility with Jelly Bean 4.1.1 on SGS III

Added Romanian language interface

Updated translations

Fixed a few UI crashes
[Android Apps and Games] blitzkriegh:
Thank you. Works flawlessly now. Is there a discount from root blocker upgrading to call master or both works the same way?:p
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
There is no discount, although I have upgraded users who have been active in my xda threads for free in the past. Those users know who they are :)
[Android Apps and Games] kendive:
I don't think he answered your question... I was wondering the same thing.

What is the main difference between Call Master and Root Call Blocker???
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
RCB - basic functionality (based on profiles/exceptions, blocks calls and sms, basic security features)

CM - advanced functionality (based on lists, blocks calls, sms and mms, privacy features, security features and more)
[Android Apps and Games] kendive:
And of course so people understand you have to have root to run both of these apps.

I'm just trying to help and not to get deserved credit of the users that made all the work in those translations , Gwenaël (French) and Luca (Italian).

They are the ones who made all the work.

Of course, if they feel the translation i've made not being correct i will delete it.

Great you're bugging all the time, I might be participating in translating this stuff into proper GERMAN. How about new features? Anything worthwile like automatic unknown caller identification planned to be released in the near future?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Eh?

A complete rewrite of this app is currently under way. It will be out in November with some features from Call Master. If you want new features now, thats where you should look.

Caller id is caller id. This is a call blocker, so no.
