Lol... my spidey sense says a paranoid idiot noob attack is imminent. Why don't you write a letter to this "developer" that makes your little rom an ask him?
[Android Apps and Games] eresac:
Just my to cents

Here are some suggestions after a long and effective usage:

- status bar notification: notify when the service is running (I mean I can activate persistent notification, but this one stands up also if the service is not activated)

- make the app/service not running at startup when both "enable call blocking" and "start service on boot" are not checked (this would also cover previous item)

- add the option to add a number for sms logs (eg. bank service sms notification).

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
I think the service is ddependent on the shedules...

And you can already add names into the number field!
[Android Apps and Games] tracerit:
is it possible to implement a rule where all calls are blocked but anyone who calls X number of times within X minutes, their next call will ring through?

An example of that usage would be my mom's battery died so she has to call from a pay phone. But I'm sleeping and my filter is on, but if she calls three times, the app would flag it as important and let the third call come through.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
This feature is present in Call Master but will not be added to rcb.
[Android Apps and Games] phaze3131:
I would have to write to the BB developer, Chevyn01, and also the developers of Liquid... obviously it isn't their "little rom" that is the issue here.

Some facts:

1. RCB uses the 3g signal when the blocking service is running

2. Device loses it's 3g signal consistently when RCB blocking service is running

3. Device never loses its 3g signal when RCB service is not running

4. Device never loses a 3g signal when RCB app is not installed

5. The RCB app has included workarounds for losing a 3g signal

6. Device never loses 3g signal when RCB blocking service is running, but Droidwall prevents RCB from accessing the 3g signal.

Now, I'm not Albert Einstein, but I have the brain capacity to realize who the idiot noob is here.

Love the app, just a shame a bug like this can't be fixed. I hope it is soon.
[Android Apps and Games] garywojdan81:
Seeing this same thing with the Verizon Droid Razr. Sent logs twice. Love the app & would like to see it fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
The logs tell us nothing. There is something wrong with the way the 4g radio drivers in the kernel or moething work. The rom developers are just copy pasting.

So look - this problem persisted on the bionic, but I haven't heard many complaints since that phone as updated.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
So which one of you is Superfly from the market comments? Probably the same fool who complained that SMS from exceptions were not blocked...
[Android Apps and Games] garywojdan81:
Hey man, cool down. It's not me, I don't usually leave any market comments as I prefer to contact the developer directly. I understand & appreciate the amount of work you've put into this & have never underestimated its value. That's why this is one of the few apps I consider worth buying; that's why I did, as soon as it came out of beta. So, please don't confuse a genuine request for help as any kind of criticism or denegration of your work. I'm trying to only stick to the facts:

This is a great app.

I had to upgrade my phone.

Now it disables my data connection.

I don't know what's different about the software.

I'd fix it if I could, but I don't have your skills.

I have sent the info that the app requests.

If 4g is an issue, then most of the American customers you have are going to experience this eventually.

What do you suggest, avoid 4g?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Actually its just motorola thats the issue.

But i will be stateside for xmas, so i will look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] garywojdan81:
Thank you. I look forward to using rcb again.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Tell me, have you tried a cm or miui variant for your phone?
[Android Apps and Games] garywojdan81:
Can't yet. Nothing like that is available for the Razr yet.
[Android Apps and Games] phaze3131:
yea, many of us are. I just did a complete wipe and phone was great till I decided to enable RCB. 3G shut off immediately, then kept getting spammed that RCB could not connect to the licensing server. so we can narrow the problem down to this activity.

I would like to offer a donation to use a version of this app that does not require the licensing check...shoot me a pm :-)

great app and thanks for the upkeep of it!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yeah... connect to wifi and check the license manually through settings.
[Android Apps and Games] phaze3131:
no I think you are not understanding....

the app repeatedly uses the 3g signal and because of the bug, it renders the 3g signal not functional.

we are very interested in a version of this app that does not mess with and turn our phones 3g signal off.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
You could always move to Call Master :)
[Android Apps and Games] denzel09:
Hi i have buy this app. Its good. Is it possible add optiond to reject:

Answer, hang up

Answer, wait, hang up

Answer and hold

??
[Android Apps and Games] denzel09:
I see now that the dev is the same. So a question, for who has buy some days ago rcb need to buy a new license next for call master?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dB Zac:
Interesting turn of events. I updated my phone to 5.7.893 and then reinstalled Liberty. Once i was done, I installed RCB again and had the same issues with the radios. I have since then, stated using Eclipse and finally decided to give RCB another go. It seems to be working perfectly. I know Liberty is based on 5.5.893 and Liberty is not, nit sure if that is why but the only thing I changed was the roms, same apps and almost the same settings
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yes.

Well what do you know! Classic.
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
I see some idiot left a bad review on the market claiming his sgs2 goes into airplane mode... i feel for you man, the noobs are just so damn annoying and you cant do anything about it.

I have the same phone and use your app with great success, so hats off to you my friend!
[Android Apps and Games] SuperYeti420:
Will this app work with a euro rom Galaxy Tab 7?
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
Yes, i have a tab and it works flawlessly!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yes, it works on any rooted device, 2.1+
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Ok guys, im going to be working on RCB tonight. If you have issues outstanding, now would be the time to tell me!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Come on guys... am i to understand that there are no outstanding issues?
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
Suggestions :

- a widget that allow to rapidly change profile and view the one active (with a chosen color for example)

- allowing individual edition of elements, name ...., on black / white lists (RCB only shows "delete/delete all" options)

Problem :

still the old one that on one active profile (operating on black list mode ) and call logging option active, for a Private numbers i activate "Log, but don't notify" but RCB always notify's.

If the call option is deactivated on the profile he doesn't notify.

On SMS's and Calls he works fine (blocks, rejects and all) but the individual "Call Logging Options" is my desgrace :D
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Blade please send some logs!
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
You are totally right. Should have done it in the first place.

But seeing your willing to do some work on RCB made me try again those old suggestions and then i remembered that stupid call log problem.

I'll send as soon as possible the logs.
[Android Apps and Games] garywojdan81:
Anything come to light on the Motorola 4g issue with data not returning?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Not that i know of.
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
Just send two log's.

With cleaned RCB install and the minimal adjustments. Erased all the other numbers, filters and stuff.

One log is with Call Logging globally active in the profile, but individually, inside the profile, the option on Unknown numbers is to "don't notify" but RCB does notify.

The other log is the contrary.

The Call Logging option is globally deactivated but inside the profile is individually active the option to log the call of unknown numbers.

Just called with unknown number but RCB does not show it anywhere.

Hope this helps
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Thanks mate, i will look into it today!
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
Thanks.

Right now i'm, again, on Call Master (RCB is disabled).

The SMS's are better blocked (and the control on the notification's is better) with Call Master

But that white theme kill's me.

Don't you consider the hypotheses of adding a darker theme (optional) on Call Master ?
[Android Apps and Games] phaze3131:
We've been telling you over and over and over.

RCB disables the 3g signal, why are you pretending it doesn't?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Phaze ive had you in my ignore list for ages but thought id check on your inane jabbering...

Yep, still an idiot. Back in the ignore list you go. Goodbye.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
We will probably make a darker theme, but not right now. It will be once sales start.
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
Thanks, my eyes and battery will appreciate

Ok, credit card ready.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Blade, unless you have a amoled display, the color of the pixels will make no difference to power consumption... look:
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
I have the Samsung Galaxy 2, with SuperAmoled (the display is the only reason i'm into Samsung right now).

When i ask for a theme with less white it's just a slight change from white to grey, or light grey, for example. The blue parts are alright.

I almost get sun burn reading the help :)

But let me tell you that i've just tested the lastest Call Master with that fantastic widget and congratulations to the person who idealized that.

All the information one can want or need is there.

Everytime i've asked a widget to RCB, and now it's on Call Master, i've made it without un idea of any kind about the widget i wanted but now i've seen the light :)

To me that's the mother of all widgets, one to be reference on widget mather of compacted information on one place.

The person should get a raise :)

Call Master get's better everyday, congratulations to your team.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Thanks mate! CM is my baby, so I will buy myself a hundred grams of Glen Moray, straight up, no ice.

All the other guys don't like my theme either... but then none of them has a galaxy phone. You know my pet name for the sgs ii is "lopata" - Russian for spade or chunk, take your pick.

Back to the booze :-)
[Android Apps and Games] L_T_K:
i ll test it... thanks
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
Then you really deserve it.

It's a real peace of software.

"Chunk" really fits like a glove :)
[Android Apps and Games] maeman:
Nothing to comment on this post (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19544723&postcount=52)?

Do not take it personally, I think a bit more info could clear things up a lot.

Both RCB and CM dont allow LBE Privacy Guard to start the service, and both cause the camera app to dont work (blackout and crash) if running together with LBE.... among other issues.

Things work perfectly if only running RCB/CM, or LBE. so it is hard to believe this is accidental... how the hell the camera would be involved in a firewall conflict?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
That is something you will have to take up with the guy who makes LBE. And clearly there is nothing i could say to you that would change your mind (at least nothing you would understand).

Suffice to say that RCB has nothing to do with the camera, so you should be looking at that permissions mess that LBE creates. Whats more, RCB requires access to the entire telephony service to work, which internet is part of.

This application has an average 4.6 rating on the market and over 80,000 daily users. And most of the 1-star rating are from people without root. None of them leave paranoid market reviews claiming the app is a virus...

Dont like it, dont buy it (not that you have ever wanted to). I will not be changing my application to work with LBE because android was never designed for the kind of security management it offers.

Oh and by the way. If you ask ANY developer on this site, NONE will be using LBE.

Their business model is to exploit your paranoia. My business model is to ignore the fringe weirdos and stick with normal people...

Hopefully, thats enough comment for you.
[Android Apps and Games] maeman:
Frankly, your reply only restates that you do not want users to have any control over their privacy.

The question you do not have clearly answered is:

Do you purposely develop RCB/CM to be incompatible with LBE Privacy Guard v1/v2? In case you do not, could you please explain what causes this incompatibility that disallows LBE service to start and crashes other apps?

I do not claim to know your business, but I think maybe you should consider this.

At the time I rooted my phone I was an Android beginner just barely able to follow some easy steps posted on this site. Most rooted android users fall into this category. My motivation for rooting my phone was to gain control over apps (mainly permissions). The first app I ever installed on an Android device was LBE, but even after few months being rooted, the only root apps not-permissions-related I use are OpenVPN (again privacy, and it needs LBE because Ovpn settings likes to send your imei out), nandroid backups and RCB/CM.

So it looks to me that a big part of your market consist of guys who care about their privacy. Do you really think they will want to install your app after they realize it is purposely incompatible with a firewall?

I have read some Android market reviews, and to be honest some are terrible, if I had read them before I would have not even tried this app, and never would have know why RBC is great.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Added to ignore list. Paranoid weirdo noob who didnt read wat i said. Goodbye.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Any issues? New issues?
[Android Apps and Games] eresac:
Don't know if already discussed..

I've just discovered a "strange" behavior.

With RCB started, at the first call in coming a pop up appeared telling RCB couldn't work not being able to verify my purchase status (or something like that).

I assumed this check was made after the first download, of course, and after every upgrade download that a user performs.

What I have just faced seems indeed to reflect something like a period purchase status check.

Now, normally I don't have a data plan active, and I use to connect (and download) with WiFi only; been away for the last days I've encountered this.

Assume I go on holiday with someone :cool:, and assume I use RCB to have a placeful vacation :) if I can not connect for a while RCB could stop working?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Whenever you update, change the market login account or perform a clean install, the license check must be performed.

Connect to a network and press "check license" in settings.
[Android Apps and Games] eresac:
Thank you for the sudden reply.

This is what I expected to happen (and tried to explain above).

I would say none of the option you mentioned happened since my last (wifi) connection (nor RCB update/download, or any account change, or install).

This is why it seemed so strange to me.

I will pay attention and check.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
That is not possible - there is no longer an option for Blocked and Private. All unrecognized are now treated as such.

Not in contact book is not the same as unrecognized. Just choosing it should block unrecognized numbers as well.
[Android Apps and Games] HarlyFan:
I created the Blocked and Private listing where you can enter a number, anyways I have no deleted both of them and just have unrecognized enabled and it is still not working. I sent you the logs......
[Android Apps and Games] HarlyFan:
I have tried everything and it is not working for any blocked calls or unknown call or unrecognized calls, I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that did not help, again I have sent you the logs. It does work if I input a number but that's it.
[Android Apps and Games] Candlemass:
For me it works flawlessly!

(I encountered a few crashes with yesterday's update, but today's update - 0.9.9.3 - is super!)

It blocks unknown calls, it allows unrecognized calls, it blocks calls & sms from numbers in the blacklist, everything works as it is supposed to do...

Thanks again for this great app.

(I'm still in Froyo if that matters anyhow...)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Finally, a satisfied customer :)
[Android Apps and Games] hanschke:
i lost my network after a few minutes and dont get any call or sms. flightmodus on and off dont help and i have to reboot my milestone with cm7
[Android Apps and Games] HarlyFan:
Most ALL issues have been resolved that I was having with the latest update version. Rejecting calls as described. You need to update your barcode to the latest version it still is loading .92.

Last issue is when a unregistered call is recorded its only after the caller is hearing a full ring is there anyway to change that to instant so the caller only hears the disconnect tone? I am on Verizon if that matters!!!

Great Application, Great Work!!!
[Android Apps and Games] k1ngju571n:
I think I may have found a way to block the "Unavailable" calls. I was looking through the different blacklist options for blocking after I had just received another "Unavailable" call and instead of just choosing to block all unrecognized numbers, I chose to add a number from the call log. Surprisingly, the actual number to the "Unavailable" caller was there. I chose it and haven't received an "Unavailable" call yet. I typically receive one every two hours or so. Will keep it set up like this for a few days to test it.
[Android Apps and Games] thadialeckt:
love the app cant wait for future updates
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
After installing latest update(today), it doen't recognised caller ID, it blocks call and stamps as unknown caller blocked, even caller was in my list.

wen i have removed blocked rule, still it blocks call.

Previous version was working smooth in my device SGS (2.3.3)
[Android Apps and Games] HarlyFan:
It is working fine for me, try uninstalling and then reinstall make sure you have the latest and then reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Just i did same and abt to review, and got ur post

So i have updated with market first and so i got problem, now i hav removed older version and installed new from market, now working smooth again.:)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
That is strange - it installs fine over the top on all our devices. Ill be sure to add that to the pile.
[Android Apps and Games] jr67:
I installed the update and it started blocking all my calls. I rebooted and now it's working as it should. I had problems with my data connection with the previous update that was only fixed with a reboot. It seems I only have problems after an update.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
We recomment uninstalling or uninstalling/ rebooting before an update. Hopefullt this will be fixed in the next build, which is coming later today!
[Android Apps and Games] :
0.9.9.4 Works great on Atrix 4.1.8.3 ATT but...

If you could possibly add one more feature it would make this app just as good as iBlacklist for the iPhone. A sms reply for blocked texts or calls. If a sms is blocked I can choose a custom sms message to be sent e.g.: "I am currently away" or if a call is blocked I can choose a custom message to be sent sms to the person for that. Thanks for the perfect app!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I will add this to the to do, its something i want as well!
[Android Apps and Games] raymand111:
Why do i loose my signal on my DesireHD when i enable this the first time after a restart...???

Also please add the following features

a) Password Protection

b) Option to Stop/start blocking calls as a short cut on desktop, should not have to go to settings....

c) Options for auto block calls at specific time intervals.

d) Should have option to route to voicemail...

Cheersss...It has the potential to be the best ever...
[Android Apps and Games] garywojdan81:
^^^^++What they said....

Sent from my OTB Comm.Rominate
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hi! A kind password protection is already available via Hidden Mode.

A toggle widget is on the todo list, as is scheduling.

Regarding voicemail - this is not always possible and depends on your routing setup (ie google voice or aon).
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Prompt is the word you're looking for :-)

Enjoy!
[Android Apps and Games] donwhall70:
Question of the day.. What good is a call blocker if it just sends the person to your voice mail? Don't sound much like a block to me... Is there an actual way to dump the call totally?
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
If you actually read the thread you would see that there are different reject methods to play around with and also, if your carrier allows it, you can forward rejected calls to an invalid number. Read up!:rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] donwhall70:
Umm.. rejecting and sending to voice mail or redirecting to an invalid number is not "Blocking" a call. So you are saying that this does not "Block" calls, it just silences them in the background so you don't have to deal with it.

Thank you for your indirect answer to my question :)
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
Well the call is blocked for you as in you don't even hear a ring. Maybe you should define what blocked means to you :p. For most people, we want to block others but not let them know they're blocked. Discretion ;) In any case, you should probably wait for the dev to get back to you as I might be completely wrong... I'm just a user :p.
[Android Apps and Games] donwhall70:
Blocked to me means that call comes in and is dumped if the number is blacklisted. I don't even know how possible that is.. Anyhow, I have decided to just let it route the caller to GV and have them blocked there. GV tells them the number is disconnected or something along those lines.
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
Hmm, well you'll have to play with all the reject methods but there is one method that will answer the call in the background and hang up immediately all without you even hearing a thing :p
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
The reason all the reject methods have abstract names is because their effects vary from network to network.

Even geographical location on the same network.
[Android Apps and Games] caranova:
I haven't really followed him much so I can't say that I do or don't believe him, but I'm not going to worry about it because you're right it's not a race. If he posts it and it helps great, otherwise I'll just ignore it for now.

MOD EDIT: this was a sneeky redirected advertise :mad:

you will receive a infraction!
[Android Apps and Games] thebearman1:
This looks great. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
No probs. Enjoy!
[Android Apps and Games] sireted:
quick question

Hi I love your app and it does what we all wanted it to do. I was wondering if im missing something in the settings. I have a verizon razr. the app works perfect except for when im on a call. if im on a call and a blacklisted number calls i lose my current call too.

thank you for your help
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Next time this happens send logs with description please.
