Absolutely top class.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Botouppa:
Hi.. I am new out here... I want to know that what is this forum all about and what are we supposed to post in here...!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dkb218:
What? Did you by chance read the original post? :mad:

[how do you remove a thank you? Hit the button by mistake.]
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
No worries. App updated!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] baysyc:
wow im all aboutit, anyone know how much it will cost after beta?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cleansafi:
@ baysyc

As a Call Master is call intercepting, value added service making software. It costs depend on ones requirement.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
Yeah hi. Im the developer. And i dont work for speechsoft. Please remove your comment or i will remove it for you.

For a guy with five posts you sure are ready to advise people... perhaps youre in the wrong forum?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
Excellent, please leave a market review if possible!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cleansafi:
Then why ?

Ok..kept your word. Now could you plz tell me if you are own this apps, then why SpeeachSoft saying it as their product !!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
No MMS messages handled by CM are not saved, ie cannot be privatized. Read the help hint for more info. This feature is planned sometime this autumn, after the release of PP.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dabibbit:
I would like a "Temporarily Adjust Volume To" action, which can be set upon the receipt of calls and SMS (Just give independent check boxes for calls and SMS, as is done elsewhere in the app, and the user can mix and match). This action would save the current ringer/notification volume/vibration state when triggered. Then, the app would set the volume/vibration to the desired level as the matched call rings through. Once the call is either answered or times out, the phone's volumes/vibration settings are reset to the prior values.

In my instance, I want Call Master to only allow calls from certain numbers to produce an audible ring while I am asleep. I would set the phone to silent before going to bed, so other calls would just make no noise and eventually go to voice mail. However, Jelly Bean links the ringer and notification volumes, so I am subjected to all of the notification sounds throughout the night if I use Call Master to do this. I can kludge together what I want by using SemiSilent by Lyote in conjunction with Call Master, but it would be much nicer to have all the functionality all in one place. Plus, the SemiSilent kludge only lets me screen on one list.

I don't need it, but I can see where someone might want to set specific calls to silent or vibrate only. So, generalizing this action would give it greater appeal.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
Seems there are two points:

So you want some calls to ring quieter? This may be right for the Mute action, which could be renamed to something else...

The Mute action can already do this bit, unless something has changed that i havent heard about. or do you mean other kinds of notifications like email? Because this is a telephony manager, not a sound manager.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dabibbit:
It would be really nice if the event notifications indicated what list the blocked number matched.

I have a general action for all numbers not in contacts and other actions for specific troublesome numbers (which are also not in my contacts).

It would be nice to tell from the notification bar if I'm receiving calls from a lot of random unknown numbers or a lot of specific troublesome numbers.

I would be happy with displaying the matched list name in parenthesis after the current message, but I'm sure there are plenty of ways to format it if long list names are a consideration.

---------- Post added at 03:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 AM ----------

No, I plan to manually set the phone to silent when I go to bed and then hit my Call Master "Sleepy Time" profile. Then, if certain people call me, I want the phone to actually ring (For example, a call from a VIP who should have access to me at all times).

Alternatively, if certain other people call multiple times (screened by a Gatekeeper on their list), I want the phone to ring (For example, if there is an emergency and family will keep calling and calling until they get me, even if it is 3am).

I don't have a need for volume levels, I just need it to replicate the unmute action I can select when holding down the power button. My thought had been that as long as the app would be increasing the volume, it might as well have gradations.

Point taken. Mute does indeed take care of about muting the calls. Sorry I missed that.

While the app is not a sound manager, per se, the ability to have calls grab your attention based on matching certain lists can certainly have a sound component. I would not need the app to manage sound at all if the Jelly Bean ringer and notification volumes weren't locked together. Unfortunately, if I try to use Call Master as a night time call screener without some kind of volume control, everything on the phone that makes a notification noise dings on through the night (Google Plus, Facebook, Mail, Messages, etc, etc). Right now, if I set the phone to silent, it does not matter if Call Master allows certain calls through, because the phone is on silent and I never hear them.

The proposal of levels was just extra. All I really need is an Unmute action that takes the phone off silent if it is set it on silent before a call comes in and then sets the phone back to silent after the call is answered. If the phone is not on silent before the call comes in, the Unmute function would do nothing, leaving the volume where it was before the call was received.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
They are good ideas, especially the list exposure. I will put them on the list for 1.7.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
Here's another legendary TALE OF CUSTOMER SERVICE...

A while back i had the following conversation (pasted from email):

This morning, two months later i see this in the app comments:

Note that the version he has is 4 builds behind (we are on .11 and he is on .7).

So how does a guy who actually purchased the app manage this sort of smeg up? Because hes a moron. AND THERES NOTHING I CAN DO :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] makbil:
About the previous discussion, for my night profile I use block all with the action to quiet ringtone but also specify a white list which overrides the condition so that only their calls and SMS come through.

I have a strange behavior with SMS messages. When I buy an application from Play store, my bank sends me an SMS. During daytime there is no problem but when my night profile is activated that message is handled by CM and I always see 2 identical SMS messages in the log. Is this due to CM or does my bank feel safer sending me double messages at night? :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
CM always handles all messages, day or night. The app completely replaces the telephone layer. So i would say its the bank. or something else.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] getinnocuous:
Hi there, just installed the app last night and first of all, thank you for developing it, so far it seems incredibly powerful. I quoted the above post because I've had some issues with blocking MMS messages in the past and I was wondering how your app would handle them. I currently only have one person on the Always Block list under the Day to Day profile. With apps like SPC, normal SMS texts and calls would be blocked just fine, but MMS messages would be downloaded, then I'd receive a notification and message from the blocked number notifying me of a new multimedia message which would then finally be sent to the block logs in SPC. It was really pretty annoying and somewhat defeated the purpose of trying to block this number and hide all traces of its incoming communication (especially from prying eyes).

Thanks again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
It blocks MMS without downloading content.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Williams.Joe:
I need to set block one number call from 19:00 to 21:00, does it can do this?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
Yes.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] vascovvv:
thanks for this app! :good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
Yes ok enjoy!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] istillmyself:
erm how about message from unknown number ? auto to msg log ? and how about unknown number for call ?need to know it before purchase

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

and 1 more thing what the different between call root blocker ..its is call master just for unroot ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] istillmyself:
waiting ..waiting answer ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
His question was answered already.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] makbil:
Has the name of the application changed? I just saw an update on the market but it's called "Master Call Blocker"
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
Im just experimenting with the play store search algorithm :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] weirdsciencex:
I love this app been using it since the first beta but the one thing I can't figure out us how to allow all mms through, I have the profile day to day which blocks unknown callers and is set to block calls and sms but allow mms but they still get blocked :(

sent from EVO 3D running CM10 Disarmed Toaster
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
Hi. Thats probably happening because of your message retrieval settings or because the mms arrived but wasnt pushed to the device by the operator.Or a mix of the two.

So instead of getting the MMS itself you get a link to it via SMS. Which i gather you are blocking.

Cool huh.

But no worries - you can use the SMS content filter ("Allow" with a keyword from the link like "MMS" would do it) to at least get the link.

Have a good look in the messaging app settings as well, theres all sorts of fun to be had in there.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] makbil:
I have the same issue. MMS gets blocked even if the person is on the always allowed list - the log does show that person as the sender. My setting is to retrieve MMS manually. I'll try your recommendation while keeping the setting on manual retrieve.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
So youre saying that all MMS are blocked regardless of the settings? What does the number tester say? Because for me it works fine! I just tried and im in another country and everything...

My settings were simple: fresh install, always block list had mms not ticked was able to receive fine. Number tester agrees.

Check, if not logs guys! There may be something there in your environment which i cant replicate so the more of you the better. In the logs you should mention the contact in question and so on.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] makbil:
Test number says Filter calls & SMS - Allowed

It is in the always allow list linked to Block all. So when all is blocked that list still gets through to me unless it's an MMS. I'll send logs tonight.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
Hmm. Have you tried reproducing my settings above?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] killerroger:
Hellow I am a new hand of android phone. My last phone is HTC HD2 (WM6.5).

My new phone is xperia TX (similar T in other country).When I use CM, SMS can be blocked, but phone call can't be blocked.

I try many times, change the setting, but still do not work.

Maybe CM just do not support xperia TX for call block?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
No. Your settings are wrong. Uninstall and start again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] killerroger:
Is there anyone successful in blocking phone call on Xperia TX? If there is, please let me know.

I already tried many times. Actually I almost give up now.

I upload a picture simply showing the result of test numbers when I use the setting Block All. (I erase the number after test for my privacy.)

It shows the test call/sms blocked. However, the call is not blocked when I make a call personally.

Still thanks for your reply.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] killerroger:
But the sms can be blocked. Very strange.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
The screenshot does not show me the inside of the filter calls action. That is where your error likely lies.

In my very long experience I have yet to see a device-specific bug that would block one but not the other. From this I can extrapolate that it is user error. Hopefully you can post a screen and we can help you change that nasty review you left on the Store.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] killerroger:
I didn't left any review on the Store. So you don't need to worry. Actually, I already uninstalled the app. If I have time, I would reinstall it and share the setting. Thanks anyway.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
I am not worried mate. User error is user error.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bogieA:
I have a Samsungi9100 and have tried both call master and root blocker call Pro; both of them work and I decided to keep RBC.

I have switched to Xperia TX and have the same problem on CM, can only block SMS and cannot block any calls; happened on both RBC and CM.I have exactly the same setting which is a working on i9100 AOKP JB build 4, but not working on xperia TX running stock. I know some apps won't work on TX, eg auto run manager, auto brightness. You should investigate before saying it is user error; at least you should try on Xperia TX before saying it is user error. FYI, I don't have any comment on Play Store. Hoping you can solve both CM and RBC problem on Xperia TX soon.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
Yes OK. But what you should realise that when one person out of a hundred thousand tells me that something isn't working I HAVE to assume its user error. That is the reality you and I both live in. Also, the guy didnt provide the screenshot i asked for. Also, ive seen no reports through the apps. Now that there's two, perhaps you can stop scaring me with bad reviews on the store and send some - include a description with the number that isn't being blocked, and send the logs immediately after calling yourself from that number.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
App has been updated with a number of critical fixes:

Call Master 1.6.3.14

Fixed a rare database related crash

Fixed a few minor device-specific UI bugs

Fixed translation format bugs (please be more careful when working with crowdin)

Added Portuguese and Simplified Chinese languages

"Close app on screen off" now on by default

Added "Keep private", "Ignore completely" and "Ignore and log" predefined lists

I would appreciate feedback from those who experienced the rare DB crash error - since we dont have any devices where its happening i cant be certain that it has been fixed, so let me know please!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] killerroger:
I have learned how to reflash ROM and have a clean offical ROM yesterday. So I re-install CM for helping test it. I am a new hand so I don't know how to make screen shot yet days ago. I feel sorry for all these misunderstanding. I just simply report my result and leave no review on the Store. So I am surprised and don't know if there is a nasty review.

I test CM with a clean ROM just flashed. Of course, root is done. There is empty contact list imported in TX. I just simply use the setting-Block all. Then, just see the screenshot.

I think this is the last time I report my test, because I spend too many time on it and delay my work. I am not a pro user. In the end , thanks again for your efforts on developing good App.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
Err...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bogieA:
What else do you need us to help you to solve call master problem on Xperia TX stock ROM? You could just say xperia TX is not supported, so we dont need to trial & error. My test: both call master and rcb are not working on Xperia TX. For exampe, i uninstall and re-install rcb on both TX & S2 with default setting only add a phone number in black list. S2 (AOKP) blocks the number and TX (Stock) rings.

The only concern you have is whether we have any negative comments on Play store, rather than solving the problems. No worry, i dont have any comments on Play. You should have s3, why don't get a T/TX to test? Cos Sony latest flagship is not popular enough to get your concern? Anyway, cm is a great app if it is working. It is so difficult in Android to find a magicall replacement.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
I do believe I have already said what is needed. See above.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bogieA:
I would like report but what is included in the log file? It seems not safe to send out unknown data.

Other than user error and "Err", report through app is your final weapon. Why don't you spend time to solve the problem instead of provide a meaningless response like "Err". Actually what do you mean by "Err"? may be it is a helpful one but I don't understand.

Be a responsible dev and gain respect.

Take a look at free app 360mobilesafe, it works on TX. It needs root permission, but I don't know how it blocks call.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
Listen buddy. If you want your problem solved you send the logs as described. We are a respected firm and I am not going to repeat myself or discuss other apps. Don't like it? You're welcome to join the large and constantly growing list of people I ignore because I don't like the cut of their jib.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] makbil:
Sorry but you obviously have no idea on programming, on the other hand I can understand the concern on what info is being sent. A simple rule of thumb for you is to take a look at what sensitive info you have in that program and this one being basically a filter wouldn't need any sensitive info. You have to understand that the only way a developer can iron out the bugs in general population is by using logs from that particular device. Even the same device from different people may not behave the same as their configurations may be quite different.

Let's give the devs the respect they deserve for bringing us such an application and help them improve it. This in turn will only benefit us as we will have a better product overall.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
Thank you for that, a very sensible approach. But to be honest its very unlikely that the device itself is to blame - most likely hes either blocking the apps access to the internet (which in android means the SOCKET LAYER) and therefore the app is not able to create sockets. Since our root daemon replaces the entire telephony service, it cannot perform its basic function without access to the sockets.

Also, in my considerable experience there have only been one or two times when manufacturers have made significant-enough changes to the telephony framework to have caused the daemon to stop functioning...

In the meantime Project Delta/ PP is almost done, see if you can spot the general idea from these pics (previews):

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] makbil:
I mentioned this issue before and over the past few days have managed to verify more than once. When a SMS is blocked it shows up twice in the log.

This is the scenario: I only allow calls and messages from my white list at night and if I receive a SMS at night from someone not on my white list, it will show up twice in the CM log. During the day it works just fine since that message would not be blocked.

Apart from this cosmetic bug and the known MMS issue everything works perfectly.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
I'm not aware of any "known MMS issue". Works just fine for me and everyone else as far as i know. As for messages, wait till this happens and then send logs through the app, be sure to mention the number from which messages are being duplicated.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] makbil:
Ok, will do that. The MMS issue I mentioned was that if I receive a MMS, even if it's on the white list, it gets filtered and logged as a txt message without the contents. I remember discussing this before and checked all the conf files but saw nothing specific to MMS. No problem with SMS, only MMS gets filtered like this. Will also send logs when it happens.

Even though I have these minor glitches, this program is one of the must haves for me and I just wouldn't feel comfortable on any Android phone that doesn't have this program on it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
Re MMS. I believe this has been discussed before and I told you its not a glitch. Many providers will see that a MMS has failed to deliver and send a SMS with a link instead. It may or may not be empty, depending on the content. Anyway this will no longer happen when PP comes out as we will be doing all the sending, receiving and composing internally.

Oh... and if you want it to work in this scenario you should block sms too.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fzurita:
Hello, I'm having battery issues with this app, it's currently the biggest drainer in my phone, I have payed for the full version. I'm getting this information by using BetterBatteryStats:

Partial Wakelocks:

AlarmManager

fahrbot.apps.blacklist.Call Master

36 m 8 s (2168 s) Count:278 9.9%

Alarms:

fahrbot.apps.blacklist

Wakeups: 383

Alarms:383, Intent: config_changed

Any ideas?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
This has been answered. This app completely replaces the android telephony service. Wake locks don't affect battery life, at least not the way you think. Does androids battery manager actually show you that cm is using power? No. Not unless you enable auto-sweep.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:

Updated my t999 to JB 4.1.1 yesterday, same root method. CM crashing, sent logs. Suggestions?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ftgg99:
I dont see any logs...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sideswipe:
I just resent them. Let me know if you find anything.

CM is extremely slow when looking at the logs. 'Move from system logs' when selected for a list just hangs. Similar to the problems I had in the past. This is with stock firmware and SU root.
