I have not updated any of these in a long time, I can't even remember the last time I did these. What benefits would I get? My phones reception, etc seem to be pretty good. I've always heard that there's a higher chance to brick your phone by updating these.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
If you're getting good reception, then no real need to change. You only will brick the phone if you do a battery pull / phone dies during the update of one of those.

Could you guys please test the following behavior for me:

1. How the app behaves when a blocked number attempts to connect during call waiting

2. How a blocked caller is handled when "Dont answer" is set as the reject method and you are currently on the phone and have not enabled blocked call vibrate notifications within the app itself

Dont forget to send logs with descriptions as well

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!

[Desire Themes and Apps] dublinz:
1. My phone rebooted as soon as "blocked" No try to connect while i am was in call

I'll recreate this ones again just to be sure in outcome
[Desire Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Your phone rebooted? Thats not possible. This app is well tested - we are on build 90 or so...

Maybe i didnt understand you correctly?
[Desire Themes and Apps] dublinz:
So here is the update; so far the app work quite well, the reboot was invoked by skype. So far i couldn't find not a single issue with your app.

2. How a blocked caller is handled when "Dont answer" is set as the reject method and you are currently on the phone and have not enabled blocked call vibrate notifications within the app itself //// I'll test this tom// thank you for great work ///

[Desire Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Anything at all (other than praise) :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] spidius:
Really no issues. But i have a recommendation in order to make this app really perfect: "Add an option to be able to put a custom notification when having a call blocked, without writing "blocked call" or whatever and without when pressing on it to open the app.

I think this is a MUST for all such kind of apps. Apart from that your app works really well.
[Desire Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
We make another app that does this. RCB is a call blocker, nothing more. Look for Call Master in my signature.

Also: 1.8.3.7

Fixed an issue on some CDMA devices where an ongoing call is dropped if a blocked number rings (feedback please)

Lots of minor issues and a few UI problems on small screen devices fixed

hi,

i am using a samsung galaxy s, trying to figure out if it is a deodexed rom or not. i installed the XXJVO_XXJVO_OXAJVO update from samfirmware.

how do i find out if its deodexed?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizlo:
It's stock, so I'm almost sure it's not deodexed...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jnks123:
deodexed or not

you can very easy figure out if your rom is deodexed or not.

install from market root explorer or super manager (free) and then navigate in /system/app and then /system/framework and look there for odex files.If you can't see any that means your rom is deodexed. Of course you must first root your galaxy.

I hope that this guide wiil help you.

Your application is great.

I must suggest a quick improvement for users.

Here, in Spain, phone spam is a big annoyance. It is great to be able to block certain phone numbers, but the source numbers grow fast and I would like to be able to directly load a plain text file with lots of numbers directly to the application, instead of going one by one to add to the black list. I could add one contact with a lots of phone numbers, but it still would be more time consuming and more difficult.

It would also help tremendously in case of restoring the phone from some problem.

Thank you for your patience and hope to be using this app for a very long time.

So far, so good with my Optimus 2x.

hi,

I have my phone rooted. and today i tried to root a new rom ([ROM][Alpha6][27.04.2011] Gingerbread 2.3.3 with HTC Sense 2.1).

which is available here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=987251

but when flashing was finished, my phone didn't start up and it stucked on htc logo...

when i go to recovery mode. a "!" appears on the phone, and after that the menu has the following items:

reboot system now

Apply sdcard:update.zip

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe cache partition

i have tried Wipe data/factory reset, but still having the same problem.

and when i try to Apply sdcard:update.zip, an error comes up that :

E: signature verification failed Installation aborted.

some one help me please!!!

tnx!
[Legend General] Mafuzzer:
I don't know how to make the ROM work, only how to replace it with a new one. So you need to replace it with a new one. You need to put the new ROM onto your SD Card. A good ROM could be Blay0's or CyanogenMod.

First of all, download a file called "R4 Legend Root" (you might need to Google this as I'm not allowed to post links) and extract it to "C:\R4-Legend-Root\"

Then connect your phone to your computer and boot into "Recovery Mode" where you should still have an exclamation mark on your screen.

If you use Windows (I hope you do because I only know the method for Windows :P) Open up Command Prompt and then type in:

cd C:\R4-Legend-Root\

recovery-windows.bat

This should launch your phone into the Recovery area.

Look through the menu's and wipe your cache, Dalvik cache and files from your phone if needed.

Then go into the updater (something along the lines of this... It lets you install new ROM's...) and highlight the ROM from the SD Card.

Hope this helps,

Mafuzzer :)
[Legend General] LOIKI:
Yes, i would try Blay0s ROM, the new Gingerbread ROM is only for experienced users.

If you get a question how to flash it, or how to overclock, only ask, and i will explain it you.
[Legend General] pappilion:
Just to know - whenever you get the exclamation mark trying to get to recovery mode just hold volume up an push power button . This will get you to the recovery . Chose " Apply sdcard : update.zip " from the menu and you are done :)

But you have to put a proper update.zip on the root of your card ( this you can do with your PC ) . My suggestion : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=969076

EDIT

All this can be done even if you are on the go , no comp. needed ( just to search the update.zip (or any ROM) and to put it in your sdcard if you can't do it by mobile )
[Legend General] Papiroha:
SD card

Hi guys. That's really good forum! I've found a lot of very useful info here. Maybe because of it have problems now :)

3tr, I've had exactly the same problem. The solution was found in the step1-windows.bat flashing. Even though the step2 couldn't have been done. But at least standard 2.1 O/S is running.

Afterwords there were problems with drivers - htcDIAG particulary. It was installed.

But it wasn't the end of my problems. Now SD card cannot be found in the device :(, HTC sync cannot see the phone as well. During the recovery mode, phone is not detected by recovery-windows.bat and there's a message in the Win 7 tray - "USB device is not recognised".

cd C:\R4-Legend-Root\

recovery-windows.bat

gives error: device not found.

Please, I'd really appreciate if somebody gave me any useful advise.

I need to make my phone to be able to see the SD card (currently it says, that the card was taken out)

Thanks!

Can someone please, in layman's terms, explain what ext3/4 is? Also, in what scenarios is the CWM with ext4 support needed?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
Ext3/4 are different file systems... Our phone is "native" ext3... Ext4 is a little better...(faster/easier to work with?) Im not totaly sure... I know there filing systems but not much difference in performance

But the new nvflash ext4 is so we can make backups with the ext4 kernels that are out (possibly new roms)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
Ahhh, makes sense now. I'm glad I didn't flash an ext4 kernel/rom and get it setup the way I want it and try a backup. that would have sucked. awesome, thanks again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jdkackley:
Yeah I believe EXT4 is faster at read/write operations which should provide better performance for our little blazing beasts, and is also the latest of the EXT file system type. Newer is always better, right?

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ithehappy:
Well I tried the App yesterday, but I am not at all impressed with it, I mean it shouldn't be called Root Call Blocker! I Black listed my own number, and tested, there is still a small Ring coming, so the blocked user will more than easily understand the number is blocked. But in the application comment it was stated that it will be blocked from Network state! Anyway, that didn't happen for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
It is still the fastest by miles mate! Noone will know youre blocking them - thats just paranoia.

Anyway, network state is defined by the answer to the ring. There is no other way. Even CM blocking works this way.

Hi, I've installed it jon JVP (2.3.4) with Speedmod kernel, however after 2 days it started crashing randomly, I saw the Superuser 'root permission granted' toast popup at least once per minute so right now it's a no go for me.

Also another feature I'd appreciate very much if a rule could be specified to pick up the blacklisted numbers automatically and hang up right after that, I've seen it in another call blocker and I think it could be a useful feature.

Cheers and keep up the good work
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Which version were you using? Dont you find it strange that first it worked, then started crashing? Use the "Write to developer" menu item to send some proper logs please.

We already have the pick up hang up feature - read the Reject methods help item!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] miztahbeezy:
okay thanks, I'll reinstall it now to see if it'll crash now. it was the june 6 version, that's on the market right now.

about the strangeness of the issue: I had some unexpected things happenning on 2.3.4 today, random restarts and battery drain bug, it was weird due to the fact that I haven't installed anything new. I thought Call Blocker caused it, that's why I uninstalled it, because it left a visible trace (a toast notification from superuser) when it constantly restarted. I did not send a report because I found it on the market the night I installed GB and thought that it could be better than the old one I was using. Honestly, I did not think of sending any reports when my phone started draining like crazy and I did not have a charger nearby and knowing that I'd need it all day long.

So when I got home and started looking for fixes to my problem, I bumped into this topic and thought I could help, I'll try to replicate the issue to send you the logs

p.s.: I was looking for the slow reject mode wasn't I? Sorry for being so stupid, but the explanation in the reject methods help is not clear enough for me, due to the fact that I do not know about mobile networks that much and the explanation of the help section blurs the difference between the options for me. I'm sorry for that
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
There are a standard number of reject methods android allows. Thoe explanations are simply referring to the action performed by your handset.
