Well that was weird. I installed RCB and it wasn't intercepting any calls. Nothing in the call log, I tried a few combinations of white list/black list, new profile, etc. Nothing.

I was about to email an alogcat log. I installed alogcat and when I went to reproduce it, it worked. Maybe you ned alogcat installed? :D

In any case I sent the log (serial # ending in 526).

HTC Inspire

Rooted

CM7 7.0.2

I'm wondering if something else I have running might have been intercepting the calls first (maybe Tasker, although I don't have any phone related event tasks running).
[Android Apps and Games] raymand111:
Wowwww guys i must say this is the best call blocking app created ever...works perfect...

Needs a few features though...

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...

Love the update guys! Sorry people are complaining about cdma. It works great on my HTC incredible. Love being able to add numbers to the black list from the call log.
[Android Apps and Games] k1ngju571n:
I've been using this for a couple days now and so far it is working great. My only complaint is that even though it blocks "unknown" and "blocked" numbers. I'm still getting calls from "unavailable" numbers. Other than that, awesome app. I've been waiting for a rooted call blocker.

defintly best blocker aong many i tried,

still one issue, if blocking call with reject opton, other end(caller) getting single ring

just improve that little one, then it is 100 %
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
White list = block all calls other than the ones listed.

Black list = block all calls other than those not listed.

Surprising how many emails we get from people saying it blocks all calls rather than the listed ones. Cases of all the gear and no idea, or actual RCB errors? We will never know unless you send us debug info using the corresponding menu item.

Also, even on the slowest phones the caller should not hear an entire ring - it will instead sound like a tone for a fraction of a second and then be dropped.
[Android Apps and Games] k1ngju571n:
I'm on Sprint. Strange thing just happened. Went to check how I had the profile set up and it just crashed. Sent error report.

[Android Apps and Games] lorenx:
works fine, just some opinions...

bugs:

. i'm not able to add some of my contacts to a profile black list. sorry, i cannot help further cause logcat does not log anything relevant;

feauters:

. ability to reject calls sending the classical "unreachable" carrier message;

. ability to set a scheduled profile or based on the gps position;

question:

. cannot exactly understand the difference between "all not in contact book" and "all unknown calls";

thanks a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] bakx79:
"Unknown numbers" have a not valid id numer such as Anonymous.

"All not in contacts" have a valid number but you don't have an associated name in your phone
[Android Apps and Games] bakx79:
the app works great!

however the "dont'answer" option is a little dangerous because you don't see anything on your phone, but if you try to do a call when the phone is silent ringing without you see that there is the risk to answer the unwanted call.

I need to do further test "on field", anyways is the best call blocker around, and works well also in Gingerbread where other call blockers fail!
[Android Apps and Games] DirkStorck:
Hi. Thank you. Works perfect!

I have one question. If I get a call an reject the call manualy the caller can hear in his phone a message that the numer is not avaiable whitch is a bit confusing. Looks like this is the normal reject option of the call blocker. Is there a way to change the default reject behaviour of the phone (not the app) to the "alternative reject" behaviour of the app in that way that the caller gets a busy signal ?

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] :
because it's not done on network level, obviously. the call blocker has to know that someone calls :o
[Android Apps and Games] jjjjayd13:
Is there a seperate manual?

If yes/not, can you provide file?
[Android Apps and Games] allchannels99:

[Android Apps and Games] parcou:
Just sent a PM my friend check it out...

To the community I just discovered this thread and had been using an app called: Group to Voicemail to block using categories mainly "job" category. Has a few bugs for the HTC...developer very nice!

http://www.appbrain.com/app/group-to-voicemail/com.forthegamer.android.scheduler

http://forthegamer.com/

Those using RCB advise:

1. If you have a schedule from 8-5p does it automatically block/unblocked at scheduled times? (what I am using I have to reboot ea morning to get it to unblock for work calls)

2. If I am on a call and you have an incoming call....will it continue to block and not notify you that a call is waiting? (my app does wish it did not...have answered accidentally)

TIA
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
i wont switch to another app :)
[Android Apps and Games] parcou:
All is working nice on the app, but I must be doing something wrong on the schedule....it continues to block after my scheduled time...

pro version

created one profile called: test

created a black list: added contact group "phone" which has home number in there

it shows a red x over phone & sms. and the phone block action is default when I click the icon

in the menu default block actions I have not changed

set a schedule for 15 min from 4p - 4:15p (16:00 hours)

shows blocking enabled on main window for profile: test

It blocks when I call my cell from the house nicely... it is well after 4:30p (1630) and it is still blocking

Only way I can stop it is the disable the block option in general setting...

If I select default as active profile which nothing is set I can then get a call from home phone. Going back to "test" profile will block calling from home again but it is after the scheduled time...why would it keep blocking?

Also still shows home calling when I am on a call...

Did a search so I must be the only one....so what did I do wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] blaine07:
Sometimes it disregards schedules for me. I havent spoke up because I can't seem to find the contributing variable/s resulting in problem. I just mainly check it when I get out of bed though.
[Android Apps and Games] outbackpaul:
I have the same problem. At first scheduling never worked. After all those updates I deleted my profile and schedule and reentered and now the schedule starts but never releases the schedule. I've sent the log in the app but no response yet.
[Android Apps and Games] parcou:
outbackpaul & blaine07,

Sadly thanks....I just bought the app downing the one I was using "Group to Voicemail" and I have been beating my head for hours missing work on this one. Relief to know it was not just me...

I REALLY need the schedule to work for me because I cannot remember to hit the profile to manually change it each day needs to work as described.

The app is nice the interface is sweet just all over nice...One other issue for me is I am network server support. I need the schedule to block after 5p and pick back up at 8a the next day and block all calls on the weekend.

This app you can only use one profile at a time and not multiple schedules. So my old app...I set a schedule for M-F to allow calls from 8-5 and another schedule for the weekend to block all calls. each schedule worked during its time frame automatically...

Hey the developer here seems really positive so let's see what he say :-)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Schedules work just fine. You cannot switch it off without launching a new profile at the end of the current one. Its all in the Help!
[Android Apps and Games] parcou:
So two users disagree so do I. So forget the switching since the app cannot do that and it is in the help I agree.

What is your comment on the scheduler not releasing when it passes it time. There is a bug it does not work as it should (maybe your device not all). I did it on a virgin install on two categories and it does not unblock when the time has past...

You still say "Schedules work just fine" or you don't trust the reports from your paid subscribers??? Not trying to cause war...I like the app but is does not release block when scheduled for some...well those who finally spoke up...so could there be more.

Thx
[Android Apps and Games] Borat38:
No disrespect meant to this app or its dev, but if RCB allows one ring before rejecting it or diverting to voicemail, then it's basically just like other call blockers out there, isn't it? The holy grail of call blocking, IMO, is to let the unwanted caller realize he's either:

a) calling a nonexistent number

b) somehow that number is always out of network coverage
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
Dev is working on that.

Until that you can set it in settings in phone in call forwarding.

You can forward when busy to another, non existing number and caller will not hear any signal.

BIG thanks @ftgg99 for this great apk but by default does this apk block anonymous calls if so sweet! but if not how do i just enable that?

[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
you have options in selected profile, add (+) and you can select unknown or not in contact list.

Agree....there is no way I can do a weekend schedule that I can see. M-F 8-5p then another schedule that auto-picks up for no calls on weekends....manually does not work for me just its a smartphone so it needs to be smart :-).

Pls Sir...stop saying just read the help...with all due respect. I will admit to the family if I wrong we all make mistakes and I am open to be corrected here.

Bought this yesterday have version 1.5.6 rev 53 that downloaded when I purchased for the first time...

I looked ALL OVER the "help" and I cannot find anything that talks about the scheduler since you say I am doing it wrong. I don't feel did it is simple...I created the profile, selected the contact group category and then created the schedule for that profile... when all done it stated block enabled for that profile yet it holds the block past the scheduled time.

So pls Sir....TELL me where I am going wrong instead of saying read the help. I am network engineer for the biggest shoe company globally for the entire US region...I cannot just tell my customer to read the help... So call me slow I will take it (I make mistakes willing to admit that) servers are not smartphones so pls ftgg99 the three people that posted about the scheduling issue can you Q/A us to determine MY mistake if it is not the app...

With all due respect Sir...one thing I want for all the people that need server management is feedback on where I can improve...

If I missed the Help on scheduling....where in the help is it...i hit all the items... I would assume it would be under 'profile' in the help but no word of scheduling there...
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
As above, you cannot have scheduling without scheduling by profile for the entire time you have selected. In other words, a profile of some kind has to be active at the end of every schedule.
[Android Apps and Games] kbnguy:
Let me get this straight...

So in order for a profile to release whatever the its setting, I have to schedule another profile after the first one to overtake it? ...and so on until 24hr cycle?

Urgh...
[Android Apps and Games] parcou:
Good question I would like to here the DETAILED answer to that one as well??

And to add to the question....because I see nothing on the 'help' on scheduling. If I must created a schedule to pickup up after the next, will you app automatically detect that event for a different category?

So if it says blocking "job" from 8-5 and I create a schedule after it 5-8 "side iob" for a different contact group it will pick that one up? So it should say, blocking enabled "side job"
[Android Apps and Games] outbackpaul:
That's what it sounds like. I'll know tomorrow if that works.
[Android Apps and Games] kbnguy:
Requests.

I have a couple of requests. Hopefully they're doable...

1) ATM, whatever screen you're at (profiles, help, settings, etc..) if you hit "home" button, the next launch put you back at that screen. In order to go back to default screen you have to hit "back" which exit the app then launch it again to be at default screen. the only way is to back all the way out from wherever you're at until exit. Dev, can we have default screen at every launch instead of last screen please.

2) Multiple profiles enabled base on priority on the list. I understand that the app allows only one profile active at this time but hear me out...

Example: if you set up a profile call "No Anon" and reject all anonymous calls at all time and a "Sleep" profile timed 11:00pm to 6:00am weekdays, "all in contacts book" allowed. With the current setup, at 11:05pm an anon call comes in, it still gets to voicemail and at 6:10am a legit call but not in your contact will gets a voicemail but your phone will never ring...With multiple priority base profiles enabled I think we can kill more birds with one stone...

Just rubbing my .02 cents
[Android Apps and Games] parcou:
Me too created some schedules :-) Again I think the dev'er ftgg99 has an assume app...just trying to get a understanding of the scheduler...

So I only have two profiles right now:

Profile: Job (blocking) - active

schedules for: Job (3 right now)

Weekend, 0:00 - 0:00, all-day Sat-Sun

Week, 12a-8a M-F

Week, 5p - 12a M-F

Profile: Vacation\Day Off (blocking)

schedules for: Vacation\Day Off

00:00 - 00:00 all-day, Sat-Sun

ftgg99 (Question)

I am aware I can use only one profile and this is cool since I am figuring out how to use the scheduler and just need to block job

1. If I want all day block on this, do I set start @ 00:00 and end at 00:00? I just don't know no examples to tell me...previous app used I had to do like 11:59p could not do a 12-12 all-day

2. Scheduling is there an easier way to set this up for being available only for 8-5 for work week? What I did was (2) schedules...blocking from 12a-8a then blocking 5p - 12a. (open 8a - 5p to be reached)

Pls advise.....

ALSO

: When I am 'ON' a call the blocked group still shows up as in incoming call. You stated it will block but it does not. How can I fix or stop seeing those...

Others - do you get this... I make a call to be on the phone. I then have a blocked number call but it does not block the calls...it comes thur on the call waiting.. You??

I recently switched from the samsung fascinate to the motorola droidx2 & am having a slight problem. I've rooted of course but I also installed the v6 supercharger script for memory mgmt and seem to have developed a conflict between them. Both load at boot, the supercharger first, then rcb. My problem is that once rcb loads I lose my 3g & it never come back. The only remedy is to disable it completely & reboot, then 3g comes back. My workaround is to disable rcb "start at boot" & just manually enable it once everything boots. If I do that, everything is fine but the set & forget aspect of the app is defeated. But everything else with rcb works for me.

ftgg99 Where are you? Hope all is well first off... been the 24th since you posted anything about the wholes in your app?

Still waiting for response to questions above, one user stated the schedule only works in 'default' and I have to sadly agree it did when I moved it and will see with it blocks after 5pm today. Question is why is there a bug where it does not work for a profile I create?

Your first post when launching this app you were hungry for feedback and a little disappointed when people were not trying it. So now we are all over it just want to see if you will address the real issues (heck reply from your mobile) and add what we have found in your 'help' that does not exist although you say it does...

dude...you posted an update on the market. So can you tell us in-deep what does it address on what we have posted...

1. Seems the schedule works on default (still testing) will it work when I create a new profile?

2. Incoming calls that are blocked comes through when on the phone...any changes there?

Most importantly. Thanks!!

UPDATE on the update:

1. Keeps jumping to my very last Profile. I have three: default, Job, Vacation. So I am testing the Default since scheduling is not working on Job. It keeps jumping to Vacation my last item.

2. When I do get it on default...it still shows 'blocking enabled' and it is 4:45p right now not suppose to block until 5p.

Schedule mode is set to disable blocking....new item you added

UPDATE#2

I deleted all the profiles and left DEFAULT... scheduler is still not switching. I did reboot the device... I moved the block time to 7pm 19:00 and it currently says enabled where the block should be disabled now...

HELP??
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Look mate, I've been using the app myself on a daily basis and scheduling works perfectly.

Instead of attempting confusing descriptions, why don't you send some logs with a description from within the app? If something really is wrong, I will fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] b3er:
About scheduling:

I have 3 profiles:

Day

Night

Vacation

and 3 schedules:

Day [8.00 - 23.00] Mo,Tu,We,Th, Fr

Night [23.00 - 8.00] Mo,Tu,We,Th, Fr

Vacation [0.00-23.59] Sa,Su

All works perfectly, btw be aware to manually switch the profiles when schedules active, if you selected "Switch to manually selected profile" in the end option.

Also, some problems exists in schedules for all the day, like [0.00-0.00], so don't use it.

One problem, and it's MY problem - my schedules works, but as you see: what profile will be active at Mo till 8.00? or at Sa at 0.00? It's not a problem of app, it's a problem with planning schedules.
