I take it everything has been fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] DreamWiva:
Hi sorry to ask a question like this;

Its been a while since ive had a private number call, before it used to show up as "unknown number" but now I have on the list "Blocked number" - Is this the same thing or does it mean "any number you wanted blocked"
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Please refer to the Adding numbers help item for detailed info. But if you're talking about the logs lists, then its a number that was blocked because it had no network I'd.

If you add "private and witheld" numbers to your block list, all numbers that can not be resolved (private, blocked, witheld, unknown, etc) will be blocked...
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
if i manually restart telephony ?

it behaves as earlier, few time enter pin and everything is ok.

This update updated also daemon ?

Because now it does not even restarted telephony after actualization.
[Android Apps and Games] DreamWiva:
Yeah sorry I didnt clarify, I meant the logs list. Thanks for clearing this up :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yes, but its something of a beta solution... we will see how it goes.

Enjoy!
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
Working perfectly. Now all we need is individual sms auto-replies and log but dont notify option!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Did you end up sending any Omega logs faf?
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
?? where is project omega for download ? i cant find it...
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
And you won't (yet) - omega is in closed beta for at least one more week. Then we open it to everyone, same as rcb. Early adopters can donate using the future pro version, which will increase in price once the beta is over.
[Android Apps and Games] Droidzone:
What exactly is project omega?
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
I'm having a problem with the rcb service. I notice that it it is no longer running after long periods of time, overnight for example. Usually I just start the app and the service is back up. I've looked at logcat but haven't seen anything interesting yet. Probably because the log for it already got overwritten by the time I check. Anyone else having this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Please, let me do the looking. But as far as i know, noone is having that issue.

Send logs using "Write to us". Sounds like a superuser problem.
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
Great, I'll send in one now and another as soon as I notice the service is dead again. I'm using SuperUser 3.0 beta 4 if it helps. I also use the prepay widget and it does not have the same issue. Thanks for checking into it :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Ill look tomorrow. Should be something silly...
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
Great, thanks! Just sent another set of logs to you via the app. Hopefully everything you need is in there :)
[Android Apps and Games] b3er:
The service may not be running all the time, saving your battery and memory. In this case, calls are blocked as expected.

If you have problems with blocking calls/sms during this issue, please, let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
What he said...
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Omega is almost finished ooh im so excited...
[Android Apps and Games] willam71:
How about dropping a hint ... ? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
Well it's the Omega so I'm guessing it's the app to end all apps :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Its a new call filter. Totally different philosophy to RCB - based on lists not profiles.

And its pretty too. And its got a new and improved daemon. Its the next logical step...

Hopefully the open beta will hit this evening! Ill be sure to post it here first :)
[Android Apps and Games] Droidzone:
Is there a hardware limitation which prevents development of a voice answering machine...rcb would be really functional with one
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
Will current RCB users get a discount or something if they want to move to Omega?
[Android Apps and Games] :
can't wait to get my hands on omega.

RCB has made my life complete, if only it would auto start after an update :(
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Mate! The service is not the same as the daemon.

The service does NOT have to be running for the daemon to block calls. The service will autostart when the daemon needs something like schedule info or whatever.

This feature is GOOD for you. It will save battery life and memory use. Just sit back and ignore people as if they were never there (which frankly is the best kind of ignore)!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Also, the Project is in no way associated with this Google Search result:

http://www.google.com/search?q=omeg...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[Android Apps and Games] :
but why?

http://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/research/OMEGA/index.html this looks quite interesting!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Of course i meant this:

http://www.theomegaproject.org/
[Android Apps and Games] 93ae8074:
We are all quite excited about trying your new Omega app.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
If you want to help, please +1/like/thank/etc the comments :)

The more sales the more awesome everything becomes for both you and i :)
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
Done :) thanks for this :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Updated:

- Added log but dont notify

- Added reboot shortcut

- Improved widget

- Fixed bugs

- New daemon
[Android Apps and Games] :
update hours ago.

appreciate the log w/o notifying. could you add this option for the profiles, i'd love to add this to my 'paranoia' list, where i don't wanna get disturbed but check the logs some time later on.

also WHERE IS OMEGA :)
[Android Apps and Games] jsompis:
+1 Voice answering machine will be a greate feature.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yes, and worst of all it would only work as intended on a small percentage of phones, so its not an option.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Any issues with the latest build?
[Android Apps and Games] :
nope, running fine here.

i'd love to have the notify thing added^^

how's omega?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
It was a quick little update, i will do that soon, just like i did with the auto-replies. Just trying to get some good basic lists set up for omega at the moment.
[Android Apps and Games] IamJAX:
Is it out yet? :D
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Not yet, looks like Monday now - the interface is pretty massive, needs lots of detailed work.
[Android Apps and Games] :
??

the last update was on 23rd
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I was addressing the people who havent said anything...
[Android Apps and Games] Droidzone:
Works as it should. If you want to test for something specific, just tell.
[Android Apps and Games] dsb9938:
Are you still in testing? App says it's not.

Was using Call Filter Pro, switched to a new ROM and it no longer works.

Let me know what's the deal. Hate to buy stuff without knowing it works all the way. I only have a few numbers I block, so it's hard to know in the refund time period.

D
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Mate the thread has like 1000 replies, the app came out of beta 50 builds ago!

It works perfectly, and theres a Trial you can use to try before you buy...
[Android Apps and Games] eresac:
I've been using the app for a while now (PRO version).

I don't see so much to improve, since it suits PERFECTLY my needs.

Anyway, if there's something specific to look at (alway PRO version), just ask.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Nothing is perfect... except maybe PROJECT OMEGA?
[Android Apps and Games] Droidzone:
The unreleased alpha's already perfect? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
As a project, sure. And anyway, its been in beta for a while now.
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
I havent seen the latest changes yet. How about it? When is public here?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
End of the week, we are adding more cool features, the ui has also been edited. There are now teeny little icons to denote action/list combos. They are mucho cool.
[Android Apps and Games] Droidzone:
Hope you're still talking about rcb, and not your new project
[Android Apps and Games] :
i'm guessing he's talking bout omega, since he didn't quote someone, imma assume that he replied to the last poster.

stop teasing me and gimme me candy!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Its the new project im afraid...
[Android Apps and Games] IamJAX:
Hope it will be out today :D
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Delayed by a few days, it will defo be tomorrow evening (russian time).
[Android Apps and Games] :
Nice App working fine on my rooted wildfire till now since morning...Hope its now using too much RAM and battery
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
Updates ...

Thus RCB filter SMS using words instead of phone numbers ?

It's in your future plans for RCB to implement MMS filter, a least the MMS header ( the SMS message before the download itself) ?

Please keep updating RCB.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
In effect you are already choosing between log/ not log. A restore function would be redundant unless the logs were to take up lots of space.
[Android Apps and Games] Layio:
When "block contacts not in contact book" and somebody call me from "Unkown" numer (private) app block call, but in log it say - Call blocked from '+'. When "block unkown" is active - private call doesn't been blocked.

Maybe it system language depend? In polish 'unkown' call are 'nieznany'?
[Android Apps and Games] hanschke:
better than Extreme Call Blocker i have bought?
[Android Apps and Games] k1ngju571n:
Just updated to the latest version. Set up the blacklist for "unrecognized numbers". Calls that show "Unavailable" are still getting through.

HTC EVO 4G

CM7

Tiamat 4.0.1
[Android Apps and Games] garywojdan81:
Same here. Saw you can add individual numbers so I added "Unavailable" to my blacklist. Hope it works.
[Android Apps and Games] Unknown Zone:
Thank you very much ftgg, this app works great and now another great feature sms blocking. Little by little this app reminds me of "Magicall" for windows which I miss very much. As you know Magicall is a powerfull app with many features and I was looking for something kinda close, since they don't have an app for android yet. Keep up the good/great work and added features in the future as inputs from cust come in. BTW I will not mind when the final release goes active and it becomes a paid app if it does, well worth it.

Again Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] ssmaster:
I updated this app today and for the next 3 hours I received NO CALLS and NO TEXT MESSAGES at all without changing any settings. It kept crashing and I kept sending logs but I had no way of knowing that it was blocking ALL MY CALLS AND TEXTS. VERY DANGEROUS so I was forced to uninstall.
[Android Apps and Games] k1ngju571n:
Has crashed repeatedly since updating. Sent error logs.
[Android Apps and Games] meazz1:
I updated today and no problem here.
[Android Apps and Games] ttshdmht:
loss of data connection

great app.. but experienced total loss of ability to use network data?

The HSDPA/3G/2G data connection is alive but can't use any service that requires data (browser, whatsapp, etc). any help?

using SuperRAM Sense on HD2.
[Android Apps and Games] shawkes:
Latest update working great so far on my Inspire running Inspired Ace 1.0.1.
[Android Apps and Games] jr67:
Great app. I also lost all data connections (wifi & 3g) right after updating and starting the app but a reboot fixed it and it works great now.
[Android Apps and Games] jr67:
Haven't had a chance to test the sms blocking yet. What's the difference between block & save and don't block? There's nothing in the help menu about it that I can find.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Update does not work with Atrix

I had the blacklist feature working perfect on Moto Atrix 4.1.8.3(Android 2.2.2) w/ version 0.9.9.1, the whitelist part blocked everything. I updated to the new release and blacklist blocked nothing and whitelist blocked everything. I searched the web and downloaded the apk for 0.9.9.1 and reinstalled now working like before.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hi, could you send us some logcats please?
[Android Apps and Games] meazz1:
I spoke too soon earlier.

With the latest update, RCB is crashing after blocking a call.
[Android Apps and Games] :
wow, first call blocker i tried that COMPLETELY blocks the call and sms and doesn't alert me, even for a split second and that w/o dirty hacks, like silencing the first ring... superb work!

i thought it wouldn't be possible to block this good, especially since google has removed some API's in gingergread, according to the android bug tracker.

great gui and beautiful contact/number selection.

only thing that's missing are multiple time based profiles, that would be the icing of the cake.

gonna test drive it a bit more...
[Android Apps and Games] HarlyFan:
How do I set it up to block for "Unavailable" or "Private Number" which are calls I receive when someone has a blocked number. Unrecognized numbers are calls that are not in my contact list right? Under profiles default I have a blacklist of the following: Unrecognized Numbers, Unavailable, and Private Number. each is set to reject the call but it is not working at all. What am I doing wrong?

I am using HTC Thunderbolt with a stock rom.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Please retest on the new version! We should have fixed many, many bugs that work causing conflicts...
[Android Apps and Games] HarlyFan:
I just downloaded the latest version, same issues

[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
We will, dont worry/ Im not sure about mms yet, its not a very popular service among spammers and can lead to problems with important things like banks etc...
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
Ok.

Thanks for the fast answer, as always :)

And what about the use of words instead of numbers on RCB to filter SMS ?
[Android Apps and Games] jsompis:
+1

I'm waiting for this feature too.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
You can already do this, just use letters instead of numbers in the add number dialog...
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:
I've tried but wasn't sure if it was working. Now i am :)

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Dont confuse the dialers feedback with actual ids or mms headers! Sometimes a number will come back with a name like "unknown", and sometimes, the actual caller id will be "unknown".

See, different variables are at play - the former is the network telling you it cant resolve a number, and the latter is the network routing a header masquerading as a definition. Its all fun and games until somebody looses an eye :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
So to add to that without editing my fine words:

The former will be blocked by the "Private & withheld" group in the "Add number" dialog, while the latter would be blocked by a specific rule with "unknown" entered in the number field. This is the kind of thing i would probably need to write a manual for!
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
it will be today evening ?
[Android Apps and Games] blade3200:

Hi there,

Just to let you know that I updated my ROM to MIUI and I can't open RCB dialing my password number in hidden mode. I think ain't working since may when saxgr mentioned it.

May you fix it? May I provide you with some kind of information to help fixing it?

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Im sorry - that is something you will have to take up with the guys who make miui. This application is compatible across all PROPERLY BUILT ROMS.

People had the same complaint when the ril daemon was less broken than now in cm - there was nothing i could do (nor would want to do). Since cm7, everything is working fine!
[Android Apps and Games] 93ae8074:
Define "properly". ;) Anyway thanks for your comment, I'll take it to MIUI developers and if they don't fix it I'll have to ditch the ROM.

Cheers, keep the nice job. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Thanks for the support, i see what you done there ;)

Properly means adhering to the gold standard. So take the rom/radio that was supposed to be on your phone and work from there. You will find that the mosts popular roms by far are the ones based on either stock android or stock manufacturer. CM is neither of those (and by association nor is miui).

Generally people tend to confuse the android open source project with google android. Not, of course, the fine people in our little thread :)
[Android Apps and Games] IamJAX:
Any news yet?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Its just soooo complicated. Im trying to write the tutorials and theyre driving even me insane :)
[Android Apps and Games] Droidzone:
@ftgg99,

How about an additional option in "Add number to list":

"From Messages"

This will help block spam messages coming from senders like: TD-610039

without having to remember it and typing it out

Of course I could block TD-*

but in my case, TD is Tata Docomo and they do send useful messages from other suffixes occasionally

Another suggestion is a "test mode" for RCB, wherein it would test current rules on the current call log and messages, and say which ones would have been blocked
[Android Apps and Games] IamJAX:
Test mode is a nice idea. Would love to see that in the app :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
You can already do this from the logs.
[Android Apps and Games] Droidzone:
In this case, its a spam message, not a call..

[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Oh i see. Sorry, brain clogged up. I overlooked that. Will add to the to do list, thanks for the heads up!
[Android Apps and Games] donwhall70:
First off, I've been running this since it was first put on XDA... Great work :) I now have a D3 that I am trying to run this on and on initial startup data goes away. If I put it into airplane mode and bring it back out, data comes back and call blocker works as advertised. Is anyone else with a rooted Droid 3 having this issue? I don't reboot my phone much so it's not a huge deal, just a minor annoyance :) I guess consider this a bug report if others have this same issue. I haven't gone through the whole 100 pages so if there is a fix on my end, any insight to that would be greatly appreciated. I am guessing it's running the proper radio since it is stock gingerblur w/root.

Thanks again for the hard work on this... A must have...
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Theres something wrong with the rildaeomn, it should be happenning only at first run.

Also, have you looked at the debugging tools in settings? They may work better for you...
[Android Apps and Games] xtam:
project omega when :) ?
[Android Apps and Games] DreamWiva:
+1

Also, would it be possible to have a feature where I can copy logs from RCB onto phone logs without removing it from RCB log?

Just got my SGS2 recently, RCB works brilliantly as always !
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Almost done. RE logs, ill look into it!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hopefully, Omega is coming this evening!

[Android Apps and Games] nik9288:
It rings a little

Thank you for this great app. I installed it today on my rooted SGS. I tried dialing from multiple carriers. It gives a small ring before the call gets rejected. This gives an impression to caller that his call has been rejected. Is it possible have no response from the phone at all or making him think the phone is switched off or something like that ?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Some reject methods may work better than others. Have you tried all of them? The length of that ring depends on the general health of the network the time of the call.

Try calling yourself through skype. You will see that 50% of the time there is a dial tone (what you call first ring) and 50% of the time the call goes directly to the operators unavailable recording.

If you try this somewhere uncongested (farm country for example), you will see that the ratio becomes 30/70. What conclusion? IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR OPERATOR NOT YOUR PHONE.
[Android Apps and Games] bsg411:
Your app looks like top notch work....I have not purchased yet but plan to. The app you are trying to resemble (Magicall) is a legendary windows mobile app....and i miss it dearly. It wasnt till Extreme Call Blocker Invisible that i saw an app that could compete with magicall. The ECB Invisible app does everything except:

-provide a private conversation style sms box...keyword conversation style -it is unable to have led-only notification for blocked calls......the lcon has to show for some reason. -and most importantly the app cannot block or mute a call whereas the caller hears the phone ringing but it doesnt ring your phone OR activate the incoming call screen.

I was wondering if your app can do any of the things that ECB cannot do?

Also wondering if your app can do one more extremely important thing that ECB can do which is hide the app icon(like the invisible version of ECB). And open the app by dialing your password on the phone pad like your making a call....hit send on the password and have have the app open up.

If your could successfully accomplish all 5 of these things on a rooted android 2.3 device w/ custom kernel.....I WILL PERSONALLY PAY YOU $200. THIS IS NOT BS....I AM IN SEARCH OF THE ULTIMATE CALL BLOCKER PROGRAM.

Thank you.
