Beautiful....

I will be trying the app out today. If all the dream features indeed work on my phone, the developer(s) will definately be getting a nice halloween present!

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions....much appreciated.

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

Will post my findings/experience with the app in about a week.
[Android Apps and Games] bsg411:
First Impressions of the RCB Pro app......it is a very nice app with lots of potential. One of the most important features I needed

does

indeed work, which is when a blacklisted caller calls you, you have the option of having the caller hearing the phone ring but on my end the incoming call screen is not activated and my phone doesnt ring!! Great feature!

Some features that I was looking for but I dont believe exist are:

1) There is no private sms (chat style) capability from within the app itself. If you want to reply to a blocked & logged sms, it sends you to the default messaging application.

2) There is no LED

ONLY

notification. The icon that shows up when a blocked log event is activated is not discreet enough. As far as I know there is no other way of knowing a blocked log event was activated without seeing this icon. The vibrate notification is not

visually

noticeable.

3) If you make a call from a blacklisted number either from the phone's contact list or the app's blocked log list, the call is not removed from the phone's call log.

Can anyone verify these 3 items? And if they do exist, can anyone let me know how to properly set them up/ configure them?

massive hangover here, thanks, now i won't get any sleep soon...

Call Master installed and testing ....
[Android Apps and Games] bblaze:
Only blocks the call once. Does not give the option to NOT send to voicemail. Am I doing something wrong?

Optimus S - GB 2.3.3
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Probably. You need to read the help and try all reject methods.! Also, VM is an operator setting.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Well, did you double-check?
[Android Apps and Games] bsg411:
Ftgg99........looks like call master is what I've been seeking. I'll give that one a try next.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Be aware that the beta will expire, after which time call master will be double the price of rcb.
[Android Apps and Games] :
what about the launch discount? will CM be thrice the price after the initial release?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
There will be a window of two weeks after release when all beta testers and early adopters get to buy it at the RCB price. After that it will double.

Also, RCB just updated with lots of little bugs fixed and the issue on some devices where SMS logs would not be shown until the app interface is restarted. Enjoy!
[Android Apps and Games] bsg411:
Ftgg99....Could you please verify whether the full release of Call master will have the following items:

1) Encrypted entry like RCB has with hidden icon

2) SMS chat style private inbox within CM app itself

3) LED only notification (no icon or at least 100 transparent icon)

4) removal of phone log entries from phone call log when making a call from a blacklisted number via the phone's contact list or from blacklist log from within CM app.

[Android Apps and Games] mjdavis871:
Totally loving omega....it has so many more flexibilities that I was looking for...i love the flexibility of the profiles and being able to use different blocking options within the same profile. Awesomeness is here, I will definitely be purchasing this app!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yes, it will have all of those!
[Android Apps and Games] bsg411:
Great......looking forward to the greatest cell phone application in the history of mankind !!

million thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Imguessing youre a client of RCB? Because those features will be added to RCB as well.
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
Would you be able to do a quick feature comparison chart for RCB and Omega? I think that would be very useful for users here and on the Market.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Lol. No. Just read the descriptions, use the trial versions and decide for yourself. There are way too many features.
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
My suggestion was not for me but for new users. I think it would be helpful for them to decide what to buy:p
[Android Apps and Games] bsg411:
I actually have the beta Call master and the RCB Pro. The RCB Pro is enabled right now.

If you add the same features to both apps....I'm confused as to why you made two different apps that do the same exact thing.

I concur with others.....it would be extremely helpful to at least explain the differences between the two apps.
[Android Apps and Games] mjdavis871:
I find that playing around and trying the different options gives me a better idea of how it works. If you play with the settings, the profile s and lists, you see that there is a ton of flexibility on how, what, and gets blocked or not blocked. The ui helps understanding the program much better. Yes the Omega does the same things as RCB...but you will notice more flexibilities in the profiles. I would use the analogy of this: Windows XP and Windows 7 do the same things...but Windows 7 has more features and does those same things better. RCB does the same things as Omega...Omega does it better.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
They are completely different. Omega uses lists, rcb uses profiles. Many people only need profiles.
[Android Apps and Games] mjdavis871:
I stand corrected...except the part about omega doing things better =D
[Android Apps and Games] bsg411:
List versus profiles....understood. I guess i was thrown off by the fact that a new app was created to add the lists feature. Other than that once both apps are updated the difference between the 2 apps will be the lists feature is what im understanding

I personally only need profiles.....I did play with call master(still not sure why ppl callin it omega) and it seemed like lists just adds redundancy....CM seems to have the ability to set blocking configurations like 3 or 4 ways as opposed to one.

Cant complain about flexibility tho.....as long as it has the feautures i was looking/waiting for......ill take it....either one of them.

I also found another bonus of RCB/CM.....being as tho these apps block at a system level and truly prevents that first ring my phone doesnt ring when connected to my cars bluetooth. All other call blocker apps didnt prevent the phone from ringing when i was on my car bluetooth.

Thx guys for the clarification.

Will RCB also have private SMS conversations?:eek:;)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Eentually. Guys, could you all do me a favor and rewrite your reviews on the market? A couple of asshole trolls are saying that I'm rude and buying rcb is the "worst experience on the market", which you all know is not true.

One of them seems to actually badmouth me once evet two weeks... probably a competitor.
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Oh yar forget them, carryon, work speaks.. N u r doing well

though surely making your favor on market just now
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Thanks dr.k, its appreciated. But bad reviews in the top on the comments have a direct effect on sales.

Just so you know guys, that girl who says "worst experience ever" did send 4 requests for a refund. You know why i ignored her? She bought the app 4 month ago in june.

Some people...
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
Will do. You're a really great dev and I really appreciate your communication with us. Keep it up and don't let them get you down.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Thanks a lot. Also, have a look at Call Master Beta in my signature, we always need people interested in testing our new apps.
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Ya i know really it hurts,

But no body believe single review. Your overall all rating is >4.5 star, it means best on market:), no application is having 5 star after > 1k download

Cheers !
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Ha i guess youre right :)
[Android Apps and Games] bsg411:
I second that....people who are at least technically savvy enough to have a rooted phone should know better than to let a comment be thier deciding factor. I found your app RCB because I only looked for call blocker apps with >4.0 stars and 1000+ DLs and it led me to yours....then I read the description in detail....then sift thru the comments!! Gotta do some research...ya know!

PS... Dying to test out CM more but cant until it gets the hidden feature implemented.....cant get busted while testing....gotta stay under the radar.....ya feel me !!

Keep up the good work!!
[Android Apps and Games] dB Zac:
Edit: Bionic users, use in app debugging option to fix data connectivity. Thanks to the dev for his quick response. As I said before. I love this app
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
It should just return after a while. Probably the rildaemon is broken on your rom... send logs with a description.
[Android Apps and Games] dB Zac:
not sure if it was you but I was contacted via e-mail and was instructed to use in app debugging. It seems to have fixed my issues.

Doesnt look like ill make it tonight. Gotta run.
[Android Apps and Games] phaze3131:
keeps turning my 3g off

this is my 3rd stint with this app and while it does the job, it also shuts off my 3g connection very frequently.

I have a feeling it is the constant checking of the licence key because after it shuts off my 3g, in the app it keeps spamming me to retry the license check.

this app should not be repeatedly using my 3g to check and re check and then re re check the license key. once is good enough upon installing.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Fortunately for everyone else, you are incorrect. The license check is only performed once at first run. If its not working, connect to wifi and then click "check license" in help.

As for your data connection - this app has nothing to do with it. At first run (on boot or after an update) it will restart telephony (including data) once. After that, you have to wait for the data connection to come back just the same way you would wait at first boot of the phone.

Also, use the debugging tools in the app. They may help if you are suffering from the "no data" illusion...
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Updated, lots of fixes including CDMA improvements and message saving/ logging fixes for a few devices.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Everything working ok?
[Android Apps and Games] phaze3131:
Spamming me about old blocked text messages

keeps spamming me about a blocked text from hours ago.the whole log is filled with the same one blocked text. keep getting notification about it just blocking it and notification says current time but when I click on it it brings me to the log where its just the same one repeated from hours ago.

The really weird part is this # never even sent me a text, it was actually a blocked call from earlier.

Thanks for the help
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I really dont understand what that SMS is. Double check you settings for any conflict and send logs via the app if there is none. I dont think ive ever encountered this before.
[Android Apps and Games] phaze3131:
sent

sent the logs shortly before I posted the problem in the previous post.

ty so much for help I so want to get this app working for me:-)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I'll look at them tomorrow. You might consider removing your email address.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
As i said, you might want to consider it :)
[Android Apps and Games] phaze3131:
lol

lol its ok I only use it for stuff like this, it's not a personal email acct. Only accepts email from my contacts who I've emailed before :p But I will if it makes you feel better :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
It not only for your sake. The bots are the ones you should be worried about...
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
Indeed, its still your address.
[Android Apps and Games] sky016:
thanks for that :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Guys, an update has been rolled out. It contains an important new workaround thast needs to be tested.

It may help those people who have data issues, especially on LTE enabled phones sometimes.

Please help me test this by installing the app, rebooting and waiting for data to return with the screen on. Please wait 3 minutes at least before sending logs via "Write to developer" in the app.

Dont forget to include a description. Thanks!

RCB don't run at startup (start service on boot enabled) after yesterday's upgrade.

Let me add that I have also CallMasterBeta installed (I state that because I noticed that starting RCB app also start CMB even if the service remains off).
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
yes, here too. After y'day update RCB not started on boot. When check manually status shows call blocking enable, but just after few sec toast notification prompts 'RCB granted super user permission' followed by drop of network n as usual starting RCB service. I dont have call master beta along. i think it is isolated error of RCB itself.

Edit : I have just marked, RCB granted SU permission after 12 min, msg prompted even after i hav manually set on. so this msg may b due to auto start.

So i think it may take 12 min to auto start
[Android Apps and Games] .A.J.:
I'm also having the not starting on boot issue with the latest release of the paid version. I have to manually start the app despite the option being checked. I'm using the app on an HTC Vision running the latest CM 7.1 nightly.
[Android Apps and Games] mjdavis871:
My problem has been major delays in SMS messages getting to me...like hours or I will get them on reboot...I uninstall beta and it comes right through...I will try to recreate and send a log...I'm on Verizon cdma...wasn't a problem in earlier betas
[Android Apps and Games] garywojdan81:
Same here. App won't start at boot when updated. What seemed to work for me was uninstalling & doing a fresh install of the new version. Will have to give it more time to test though.
[Android Apps and Games] tetrabyt:
It would be cool, if the widget controlled setting the profiles, not just on and off. Also, if the notifications could be set or changed by the profile.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Can you please send those logs?
[Android Apps and Games] eresac:
Tried to uninstall both RCB and CM, reinstalled RCB, but stll have this behaviour
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
true - i changed rom now to cm7.1 and rcb does not start on boot and does not block calls.

sending log.
[Android Apps and Games] .A.J.:
Sure, I'd bee more than happy to send logs.

Edit: log sent via gmail.
[Android Apps and Games] jsompis:
Start at boot don't work. SSGS2 with Stock XWKI8.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
These issues have been fixed. An update is on its way!
[Android Apps and Games] .A.J.:
I updated via market and it did not start on boot after two attempts.

I used the in app backup to SD card option. Uninstalled the app, rebooted and re-installed it from the market. Launching the app prompted me to restore the backed up data and the app started properly on boot.

Note that the issue I had is likely with the market as after "updating" the app through the market it (the market) still declared that there was an update available. I checked under settings, applications, manage and the app said it was 1.7.3 instead of the 1.7.4 that is installed and working properly right now. This is what prompted me to Backup, Uninstall and re-install.

Point of rant is that the new market sucks and this app is still awesome. Double check that the update actually installs.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yes, the market is buggered. Good thing someone is making quality apps and not building giant pastry statues...
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
My guess is that the Market shows the update but the actual updated apk has not made it to all the servers on the cloud. Moral of the story, just be patient :p
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
New update is working perfact, start service on boot fixed.

Thnx
[Android Apps and Games] garywojdan81:
Ditto
[Android Apps and Games] jsompis:
Start at boot now work again,problem fixed.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
START at BOOT working now OK in CM7. thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] dB Zac:

My phone tone one time and after it hang down. It's possible to reject calls without tones? and it's possible to change it to a "powered off mobile" message without tone?

I tried every options.
[Android Apps and Games] denzel09:
I have buy this application and it works so well !!
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
Yes, a great blocker well worth the money.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Is anyone having problems with auto-replies?
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
Not with auto replies but always with individual call logging.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
What do you mean? What's the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
With one active profile (operating on black list mode ) and call logging active, for example on Private numbers i activate "Log, but don't notify" or in sms the block option but RCB always uses the profile default blocking method.

It never respects the individual settings.

So it shows the notifying in the task bar.

I don't know if i'm doing something wrong or is RCB "personality" :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
So wait, Log but dont notify would log, but not notify...
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
Yes, RCB still notify's (and log's, of course).

The individual option i choose thus not override the global one (of the chosen profile).

Inside a profile (black list mode) the individual settings on sms and call logging never work, just the call block option works separately from the global cal logging of the profile.
[Android Apps and Games] Krishna-Sukhraj:
seems pretty useful to me...

and why is it trial version ?

does that mean it wont work ?
[Android Apps and Games] gd6noob:
this app doesnt seem to work...

i tried to block my landline number and when i called it, it made it beep and the call went through..

my phone is rooted...
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I am unable to to replicate this. Wait, testing a bit more!

Yes, that must be it...

It made a beep did it? Check your settings youre doing something wrong. This application is well tested.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Well i cont find a problem with the logs. Are you quite certain? Maybe you have some conflict with the exceptions or something?
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
I do have some configured exceptions (black and white) but assumed that the active profile settings overruled those (i'm just talking about the actions on calls, sms's and the logs).

I'm going to restart by cleaning all that and do a basic configuration.

Are you going to add to RCB the delivery reports blocking ?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Mate... exceptions are exceptions, that is why their are not set via profiles :)
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
You were totally right.

With a fresh reinstall and some basic configuration the SMS's are correctly blocked and the notification's also work fine.

ftgg99, you the man :)

And what about the delivery reports blocking on RCB ?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I am not sure yet. But there has to be some differentiation between RCB and CM, so probably not im afraid. But we can always live in hope...
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
Let's hope you decide for the best because RCB would become improved with that feature.
[Android Apps and Games] phaze3131:
I had to remove Root Call Blocker because I would consistently lose my 3g signal (4 or 5 times a day), and also 50% of the time while making an outgoing call it would start the count, but never actually make the call.

Besides the headaches RCB caused me, it did do it's job and block all calls and texts I had asked it to.

Since removing RCB 6 days ago both of these things have not happened once, so the problem has def. been narrowed down. Been on Chevyno1 SS 5.6 for about 2 months, which runs great.

Maybe other people don't have the same problems I did with other ROMs...

I saw an app called Call Master, I am going to give that a try with SS 5.6.

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------

Just installed CM on my SS 5.6 and I went in to add some numbers to the block lists and noticed my 3G signal turn color, so I exited the app and went to test my signal and sure enough I had no 3G signal.

I'm pretty sure the problem is narrowed down to these 2 apps.

When will you consider making a version of these apps that do not need permission to use the 3G signal because that is for sure what is causing the problems.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yes, I have heard all this before. There is something wrong with your roms.
[Android Apps and Games] phaze3131:
Thousands of people use SS Chevno1 ROM 5.6, so It's safe to say there is not a problem with the ROM.

But for some reason you keep pretending there is.

I just installed Watchdog and found this interesting. Everytime I make a change inside RCB, it decides to send data over my 3G signal. Who knows why a call blocking app would ever need to do this.

Especially since the app says it only needs the network access permission in order to send the debug log in the "write us" which clearly is not the only reason RCB needs network access, as proven above.

Now I am going to test if the data sent using the 3G signal actually coincides with our 3G signal being lost. I think I can guess the answer...

Off to testing...
