Improvement Suggestion

What I usually do if a contact gets added to my blocking list is deleting the contact itself from my phonebook (in thsi case Go Contacts Ex). A cool feature would be if Root Call Blocker could actually do that for me when selecting the contact from within the app itself. Furthermore, if I later on decide that I would like to unblock the contact, it should also be able to add the contact again to the phonebook and remove it from the blocking list. Will you consider adding such a useful feature even though I'm on your "special list", ftgg99?
[Android Apps and Games] Jersey846:
Given his prior people skills, I'm willing to bet that his "special list" takes precedence over any good questions.
[Android Apps and Games] tonym900:
Coool method!!! very privacy saving! you had really a good idea, thanks:good:
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
The whole dialer thing is about to be deprecated in RCB 2. We will instead be using the calculator to enter the app.

Silly question: Why is Call Master cheaper than Root Call Blocker?

I have this sickness where I need to have the best, latest and greatest. That usually means purchasing the most expensive option, which is why I'm slightly puzzled with Google Play's pricing for Call Master (US $2.99) vs. Root Call Blocker (US $6.99). Everything I've read in this thread and on http://fahrbot.co.uk implies that Call Master has more features than Root Call Blocker. So why is CM cheaper than RCB?

I have no problem with the cost of either app, but I'd like to purchase the one that gives me the most flexibility.

Thanks!

- Dave
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
Call Master is cheaper, at the moment, because the dev is a great guy :)

The most flexible -> Call Master

The most complex -> Call Master

Both apps work fine but Call Master also blocks MMS (RCB doesn't, at the present moment).

The best is for you to install the trials of both app's, make your tests, see for your self what you need and make the wise choice.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Its on sale atm, so now is the time to see if you can work it. It doesnt have to be complex - just use the predefined lists and youll have rcb + mms for half the price.
[Android Apps and Games] ViperGeek:
Purchased and loving it! CM works great on my rooted (obviously) HTC Incredible 2 running aeroevan's CM10 ROM.

Thanks for the excellent work.

- Dave
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I actually designed the app when i had the incredible s. In its day it was perhaps the finest 4 inch android phone. I wish we could have something like it from htc again. I could have bought any phone, but i had to go with the one s - the closest thing to the inc s but all the wrong size.
[Android Apps and Games] donwhall70:
love it
[Android Apps and Games] sohlican:
Sales ended?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yep.
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
Is it normal that I'm able to call an "unknown number" through RCB which then shows the number "8623526683686637" in the dialer? Weird behavior.
[Android Apps and Games] ziaulh.ch:
I just fresh installed VIPER 1.4.0 yesterday and since then RCB has asked once for root access and after that it doesnt ask for root access niether it blocks any call. WHy?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I have no idea. Perhaps you denied root by mistake? Or youre blocking the apps internet permissions? Or theres something wrong with this new rom of yours...
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
In the meantime Project Delta/ PP is almost done, see if you can spot the general idea from these pics (previews):

Fullscreen gallery is here: http://imgbox.com/g/IQxVCgDoDf
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
Looks good ;)

Will he interact with RCB and/or Call Master ?

Or is a stand alone app ?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
It will work in conjunction with both.
[Android Apps and Games] ederue:
Root call blocker is t he best app for me.

Where is the setting backup file?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
Folder /Data/rcb/
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Thanks for that.

And remember, most devs will not respond to pms because the answers must be shared!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Just a heads up guys, we are already working on a massive overhaul of RCB. Some features:

holo like ui from project delta

all the current features + mms like this

the classic profile based system will not be modified

i should also say that we will likely have both a black and white theme, though maybe white only, we will have to see

No eta yet, probably after new years you will get the option to update to a beta.
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
Looks good from every angle :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I have high hopes for it.
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
ATTENTION! For everyone doing scheduled backups with TitaniumBackup: If TitaniumBackup touches Root Call Blocker, your ROM might suddenly crash and reboot. So please be careful when you backup. Thanks.

I can't seen to get it to block sms messages. I put the numbers in the black list, with block enabled. But they still come through. I'm on the razr maxx ics stock rom
[Android Apps and Games] needshelp101:
Anyone? I kind of need this to work :/ any help would be greatly appreciated
[Android Apps and Games] needshelp101:
I have the newest paid version of root call blocker from the market.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Well theres no reason for it not to be working on your device, theres plenty of active users. Probably just a setting issue. I suggest you start from a fresh install and read all the settings carefully.
[Android Apps and Games] needshelp101:
Ok, could too tell me what has to be checked for it to correctly block sms?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:

[Android Apps and Games] needshelp101:
Alright i uninstalled, reinstalled. From a fresh install of the app. I inputted numbers into the black list. Checked the box to enable at start. Under and options i have it to block and save. Calling i have to fast reject (which works). I have read the instructions/help options. i imputed a contact, sent a message from my stock sms and received a response in my stock app :/ i sent you a log cat a few days ago hopefully I'm just inputting something wrong :/. Thank you for the quick response. I'm pretty savvy when it comes to these types of things. So I'm at a loss
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Send it again, this time mention the number that is not being blocked.
[Android Apps and Games] needshelp101:
Thanks again,i sent it to your .uk address
[Android Apps and Games] Jersey846:
This is the typical response you'll get from this dev. Amazing apps, horrendous customer service. According to him, the app is flawless and any issues you may have could only be one thing... user error. Even though I followed his directions as precisely as he told me. I don't know why he insists on refusing to help some of us that are actually having issues. Again, he makes amazing apps, don't get me wrong... But also absolutely no people skills whatsoever.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
You MUST send logs with a sufficient description through the app. Normal logcats tell me nothing of note, what i need is the DAEMON LOG.

Jellybean update

Hi,

Just updated razr hd to jellybean. Kept root OK. Started root call blocker and lost phone service. Let it sit, never came back. Tried to restart telephony service in settings, service came back, then went out again. The only way to get phone back is to un-enable call blocker and reboot phone. I uninstalled and re-installed call blocker, no change. It does get root access. I sent logs to you from phone. Thanks in advance for help.
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:

RCB not working after update from ICS to JB, HTC one X

been using RCB on my htc one running ICS HD revolution in its perfectly running smooth...i first encountered this error on the ICS stock rooted before until i flashed my rom, error was that in the notification view theres no logs on who called(blocked calls) and blocked text messages are not there even if i enabled the save functions. blocking functions are working but no logs in the notification. im on JB currently flashing different ROMs and the error is still there im thinkin of going back to ICS HD if theres no fix at all.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
This should be relatively easy to fix. Send logs with a description - just copy what you wrote here into the "write to us" function of the app!
[Android Apps and Games] RBarnett09:
This app is amazing!!

However, may I make a suggestion?

I'm hoping this app will eventually block MMS as well. Just testing it out... when blocking another one of my numbers, if I wanted to send an MMS with just plain text or even a picture, I was able to receive it to my message inbox.

Will this app eventually support blocking MMS?

Thank you! And again, awesome app!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hi. Yes, after new years we will release the next iteration of RCB with a new ui and MMS capabilities.
[Android Apps and Games] Jersey846:
I was wondering if the issue that some are having with RCB causing the phone to lose signal for JB users is going to be addressed anytime in the near future. And before you tell me that nobody is having this issue but me, we both know that isn't the case. If you don't believe me, check out recent reviews on the Play Store. The app is amazing when it's working, and I miss it.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hello random troll guy in my ignore list. We have 2 s3 handsets running the latest available european stock jb and everything works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] nestea57:
Hi,

Must have a paid services ????

Why ?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
If youre talking about permissions, you need to read the app description carefully - all important permissions are described at the end.

Services that cost you money includes things like automatic SMS replies (which send text messages to blocked callers) and the dialer-based Hidden mode, which allows access to the app by dialing a number.
[Android Apps and Games] mnhs1010:
yes this happens sometimes signal lose...it happens when the android system force closed the RCB...when this happens just just untick the first option in ths RCB settings and then tick...the signal comes again.....
[Android Apps and Games] larryatapproved:
Do you mean the "enable call blocking" under the general settings? I am having the same problem, and doing this does not fix it. The signal does not come back. The data signal is good, the telephony signal is gone. Pressing "restart telephony service brings it back, but then it stops in a few seconds. The app worked perfectly before jellybean update. If I disable call blocking and restart telephony service from the app, signal comes back, but gets lost when I re-enable call blocking. I hope you can help with this, it's a great app.
[Android Apps and Games] mnhs1010:
Yes i mean that option...

I am using samsung galaxy S I9000 with cm10 based 4.1.2

In my case when I am using my phone badly means heavy apps and games the android system sometimes force closed the RCB then i just untick the 1st option and then tick it again my signal comes again....its not the problem of RCB IMO.....try to keep enough RAM so that it never forced closed...

may be the problem of your ROM or may be root privileges problem in your Rom....

try it on different Roms,may be solve problem...

Oh ok, Sorry i'm french so I dont all read.

[Android Apps and Games] larryatapproved:
memory is ok, happens even on rebooting. i would like to do a fresh install of the app. after i uninstall it, are there any folders/files left over that i can delete which maybe are saving some sort of settings or information?
[Android Apps and Games] larryatapproved:
I don't think it's force closing, there is free ram. happens even on fresh reboot. if i want to do a fresh re-install of the app, what folders or files should i look for on the phone after un-installing the app? perhaps there is something somewhere that got corrupted during the update and is not getting cleaned out on re-installation.
[Android Apps and Games] mnhs1010:
I dnt think so,that there is a case of corrupted files...u can search those file in sdcard related to RCB....

I am using RCB since i have changed 3 mobiles and restoring it through titenium its never give me a prob...

may be yours Rom root privilges problems...
[Android Apps and Games] Jersey846:
I'm not the only JB user experiencing signal loss (if you actually read the Play Store reviews, which you obviously don't). Most of the complaints seem to be coming from Motorola Droid Razr users (Maxx and M). Whenever you decide to stop ignoring Motorola users, let us know. An S3 is not a Motorola phone... in case you were confused.

I'm adding Google Play review screenshots below that support my claims of loss of radio signal when running Root Call Blocker due to the rude nature of the developer claiming somehow that by inquiring about a possible fix for my faulty app I am "trolling". I'm simply hoping for a fix. Again, great app when it's working, and absolutely terrible customer service. These are just the first few pages of reviews which support my claims that many users are experiencing the same issue. Loss of radio signal.

The problem is real. If you don't care to fix your app, just say you don't care. If you do care, stop playing make believe.
[Android Apps and Games] emf_jay:
+1 thanx

thanks and cheers...
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
None of the files could possibly affect anything. Look to your rom or superuser app for answers. I test on aosp and everything works perfectly.

I do believe this is precisely why youre in my ignore list. Let me put it to you this way:

Even 3!!! reviews do not a problem make. Though i do recognize that there may be some smeg up in motorolas jb files (or is it with the people who make root for motorolas jb files, or the people who post leaked roms for motorola phones, or is it the version of the su binary youre using?) and i will get to it eventually.

Frankly, its just not high enough on my agenda (because 3 reviews do not a problem make), and sales are going great so i can only assume that this is not an issue most experience - on the store, people for whom things dont work are much more likely to leave comments than those for whom everything works fine.

And let me just get back to you on the issue of trolling. I dont care what you think of me - this is my XDA DEVELOPERS thread, im am a DEVELOPER at XDA DEVELOPERS. If you want help via this avenue you will have to play by my rules. Dont like it? Use the in-app feedback method to speak to someone else at fahrbot. Afraid of exposing your logs to us? That is your problem. But dont give me gip, ill just ignorfe you and you will get nowhere.

What a pathetic response from the developer, been looking around for a call blocking app but certainly won't be using this one with attitudes like that
[Android Apps and Games] Jersey846:
Exactly. Try "Call Blocker" from dev "embware". Works as advertised.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
You can all piss off and use another call blocker.

All it took was checking a couple of posts from people i usually ignore to remind me why. Seems its fine fo flame me but as soon as i open my mouth its all about bad business practices and crap support. Whatever, back in the list, neer to be checked again.
[Android Apps and Games] needshelp101:
I did what larryatapproved did twice in the last 2 weeks and still haven't gotten back to. To be perfectly honest if your app was a dollar I could understand (a little) your attitude. But it wasn't a dollar it was around 6 (I believe). With a higher priced app like yours I would have expected a better sense of customer service. I have been polite and inquisitive in all of my inquiries to you. And in return have not been given the same level of respect.

I have downloaded free apps that resulted in outstanding customer service. Sendit being one of them from xda. If I were to make an app that costs 6 bucks. And had people working for me (like you say you do). I would bend over backwards to help a customer in a very calm and professional manor. Constructive criticism from buyers is not a bad thing , but rather a form of respect. They want to see the app work. Which is why they are asking you questions. If you weren't willing to accept that, you should have do one of two things. Either.

A) make your app free. The you wouldn't feel obligated to respond.

B) write in your app description that every problem is user error. Cause nothing could possibly be wrong on your end.

Hell, Google makes apps. They get negative reviews. Do you see them snapping at people? And there's are free. Not everything is formulated to work on the vast majority of android phones. But take pride in your work and look into the problems. They're are two sides to a developer. Obviously one is the developmental side. And the other is people skills. Don't you realize that we are your testers? You have 3 s3's you said right? We're the ones with HTC, Motorola, LG, Samsung, and all the sub variants of them.

A little nicer approach instead of "piss off" would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the ignore list. Next time, try to read the entire thread before joining the plebs in their rebellion.
[Android Apps and Games] Jersey846:
How ironic is it when the actual developer of the app should be the one people put on their ignore list. If it's true that you work with others on developing Root Call Blocker, maybe its time you let them handle the questions, problems, and comments on this XDA forum. Because you are certainly not doing your app or fellow devs a service with how you treat your customers.
[Android Apps and Games] needshelp101:
I'm sorry you feel that way. But I have read the whole thread. And these "plebs" you speak of, I still side with them. Why don't you contact one of your other "team mates" who developed this app. And refund me my money. I don't just purchase an app for its function. But the fact if I do run into a problem it can be rectified in a professional and courteous manor. And make me feel like my money was well spend. Which sadly is not the case.
[Android Apps and Games] Jersey846:
Yeah. I'd like a refund as well, please.

Re: [APP 2.1+] Root Call Blocker - the fastest call blocker on Android

Well I was gonna download this app, doesn't seem worth the money or headache after reading through this thread... people if you want a good call blocking app (only downside is its a voicmail app also, so you'll have to use their 3rd party voicemail service, which is actually top notch so no problem there) check out youmail! Its great, it blocks calls and doesn't direct them to voicemail and comes with a called ID app that actually identifies spam callers so you can easily block them for the next time they call so it never rings through... RCB seems like it COULD be a great app if the support was there, but its painfully obvious that its not... don't waste your money, youmail is better and free...
