I have a solution but with another app incorporated, with Cyberhorse Macrorecorder one can create a Macro that launches your application and then automatically saves it, thus minimizing it in the background, I have that setup with CT Scheduler every morning at 7am to start.

Congratulations on this great application, a friend - Stylez recommended it, and I must it works like a charm. thanks.

perhaps for a next release a function to autostart and autoend would be superb thus ending the dependency on other apps to have your app launched and saved.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blackjack2:
Shaileshashar, what about a feature to silence the ringer but the let call end by itself and ending up in the Voice Mail whenever the call is Missed,you know how some people hate getting the the voice mail immediately, it makes them think, you don't want to talk to them but if the calls rides out and ends up in voice mail after several rings, it gives them the possible impression that you're simply not available or not close to your phone to answer, I really like this option, what do you think. :)

How difficult would it be to incoporate an online lookup from one of the services like www.phonespamfilter.co.uk
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] karld:
Maybe this has been asked already, but is there any way to "cumulate" the settings ?

Like I'd like only numbers from my contacts + black list, which would allow only people from contact and not in blacklist.

additionnaly and like for group sms, it would be great to introduce a category, so we could accept all contact from 1 category (like familly or friends)

Thanks, for the rest, that's great
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] karld:
Additionnaly, it seems the config file is stored on the main memory...

Any possibilities to have everything on storage card ? Like that config is stored on a safe place in case of hard reset
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] karld:
I really agree with that...

And that would help with the "one ring before blocking"... That one means that you really don't want to talk to the dialer...

On a user perspective, or it is rejected directly (means sort of "phone off"), or it is rejected after a timeout (network defined, often 15 or 30s, meaning that user is not present)

So having that "silence" option would be really great.

Of course this would mean that you should have a security mechanism that prevent the user to accidently take the call (if phone is in pocket you could push with noticing the button)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msmcleod:
Feature request

Would it be possible to have an option to change the way Call Firewall rejects calls?

Currently it rejects it by ending the call, redirecting the caller to the answerphone.

It would be great if Call Firewall actually answered the call then immediately ended it so the person I'm blacklisting doesn't have the option of leaving a voicemail.

Many thanks,

Mark.

Hello

I use this app with satisfaction !:)

But i don't understand well what " Add Call as Appointment" do, can someone explain me how it work?

I want inform you that the site http://www.logic-unlimited.in/callfirewall.php is not correctly displayed, it's whitout links ecc ecc

bye
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] usrname:
after a call is rejected an appointment is created automatically by callfirewall to tell you that there was a call. duration of the appointment is 1 minute

the option in "appointment time settings" - this only adds minutes to the beginning time which is not logic; should be the appointment endingtime and beginning is when the call has been rejected.

anyway ... ... is there a way to extend this one minute duration so the appointment would be displayed longer than only one minute in TF3D?!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dody:
it is every time i try to install telling me

installation of callFirewall_v_1_4.cab was unsuccessful. ?

why is that isnt support wm5 or i am missing some thing???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pioppolo:
thank you, it's work!

at next
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcu:
how about this feature?

I bet a lot of people get phone call that you don't know if it is spam or not.

Using this spam phone number 251-947-8966 (I bet some of you received Vehicle Warranty phone call from this spam number before) as an example.

How about adding a feature that once the program got the caller phone number, it will automatically access website like

- www.callercomplaints.com/SearchResult.aspx?Phone=251-947-8966

- 800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-251-947-8966

- whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/2519478966

- www.everycall.us/number/12519478966

etc

And if there are many entries for that phone number, it will automatically block the call? If not block it, at least put some kind of RED flag somewhere on the screen.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] watermelon88:
Hi Shaileshashar,

Just want to let you know that this is one of the best apps created. You really help solved lot of people headache on unwanted call, spamming and privacy issue.

I know that a lot of people asking you to change this and to change that but since this is freeware, I think this is already sufficient enough.

If you like to know what really make this apps the greatest of all call/sms filtering/blocking, below are some of my suggestion (apart from what other already suggested)

1) Not to show the progam running - to avoid wife/gf noticing why we run this apps.

2) Able to change the program name - the same reason as above (eg. EasyHelper SMS ver 2.3)

3) Able to block the sms and there is a log to view all block sms (eg. EasyHelper SMS ver 2.3)

4) Able to encrypt (for those who do not want to block SMS) and have a option to "change fake message" to display instead the real message (eg. EasyHelper SMS ver 2.3)

- Both block SMS and Encrypt SMS log must have password to be able to view.

5) Most important, must key in password before able to acces the "Call Firewall" apps (eg. setting etc).

Note: Currently I'm using EasyHelper SMS and very satisfied with it but it only block/encrypt-filter SMS (and not voice call like Call Firewall).

Once again, thank you very much for providing all of us this fabulous apps for free.

Can I check what is the difference between Car Barring and Blacklist:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaileshashar:
Blacklist is for incoming calls

Call Barring is for Outgoing Calls.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tatarasi:
Hi, I would like to properly use your application. I tried it last night, I included my wife's number on the blacklist for SMS - however, the messages were still coming through. I did 'save and minimize' the program.

I do have installed on my phone CF 3.5, not 2 - do you think this might be a problem? (I tried to install version 2, but, of course, it couldn't be done unless uninstalling version 3.5)

Also, whenever I start the program I get a message:"First time user or error reading settings XML." - what do I do wrong? It could be an indication as of why the application is not performing as it should on my phone?

I have an HTC Fuze, and I installed the Pocket PC version of your software (I tried also the one for Smartphones, but it didn't even installed correctly, the text wasn't complete)

Could you advice, what should I do in order to make it work properly?

I am asking because I noticed that, in great percentage, people are more than content using your application, and that means that it really works and does the job it is supposed to do - it's probably something on my part which could be fixed.

Thank you very much in advance

CF 3.5 should be fine the only probelm is that it does not send sms automatically in black list mode.

"First time user or error reading settings XML." - this means that your settings are not getting saved.

Can u check the callfirewall.xml ( created on the root ) and PM me.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mordillo666:
Hi,

i have the same problem like tatarasi. the program runs definitly, X-Button is showing me, but the program blocks no call at all. I tested all modes. I controlled the xml-file, for example mode is 0 and unknown is true, but an unknown call is coming through. :mad:

The funny thing is, that callcalender insert the call es rejected in the calender. :rolleyes:

Is it possible to reject all calls from withheld numbers accect everything else??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mark Crouch:
Pretty self explanantory, but are they completely rejected, or do they get sent to your voicemail service (so you can pick up your messages when you've finished your meeting)??

Just wanted to know - and I also like the suggestion by @searley; if the call is from a withheld number (i.e. caller ID is "unknown" or "witheld"), it would be nice to be able to add that as an option either to the program or to the black list.

Nice looking application anyway, will give it a go!

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] badmelonfarmer:
Yep, I would like to have this feature :)

great app dude

BMF
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaileshashar:
Hi searley,

you might be getting something on display ( unknown or private ) when receiving withheld nos.

So, if u put the exact string "private" or "unknown" in the black list nos, it will block those nos as well.

Be sure to be exact and mind the lower and upper case as well.

I cannot confirm the above bcoz the country i live in does not allow withheld nos., so i cannot check.

Somebody kind enough can check and pls report here.

Technically it should work as I have mentioned above bcoz i am getting the phone no strings from the OS and I am checking against ur contacts/ black / white list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ricokha:
I luv It!

I use Sprint PPC 6700, stock battery, WM5, 2GB SD (i aways install everything to SD) delay on startup is minimal compared to winamp, skype, or camera. I have been waiting a LONG time for something like call_firewall V1.1 . Thank you very much, where can i send donation. Only critique; when adding from recent call list, would be nice if I could select which call from which list. The reply with SMS is FANTASTIC! Sprint has free text-to-landline feature so all rejected calls get SMS no matter their origin. Would be nice to have 3 predefined SMS replies to black/allow/white/reject lists. When in a meeting, "friends" get friendly SMS reply but telemarketers get "F-You" SMS. Willing to support development.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lathamj:
I am from Australia, private number come up as Unknown. I have tried this in the black list and it does not work. Worse still even when reject all calls is selected, the unknown numbers are still allowed through.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adamcullen:
wishlist

hi, nice little app.

a couple of things on my wishlist for v2.

1. a way to somehow start automatically on startup, such as making it a today plugin. I know u can put it in the startup folder (which I have done), but it would be great to not have to tell the app your preference each time.

2. already mentioned b4, but I'll say it again, a block sms feature.

3. as the app must be running in the background, a button to minimise or send to background or something. at the moment you have 'about' and 'deactivate' mapped to the softkeys, and for those of us with 'x-button' running, the x button stops the app. some othe method of minimising would be excellent.

anyhow, just a couple of suggestions. keep up the great work, love the group sms too. if u need a tester, pm me.

adam
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaileshashar:
Reject all calls will essentially reject all calls, there is no way any calls will be allowed, i urge u to check again.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adamcullen:
Elaborate on block SMS

Sure,

I would like the ability to not receive SMS's from people who are not in my contacts list or any other list (Black, White, ect.)

Stops spam SMS's and nasty ex-girlfriends. An option to route SMS's to a "special" folder (ie so that the current girlfriend doesnt see them) would be nifty too.

I was just seconding the call from meehaa earlier in the thread.

Adam
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] colonel00:
Quick question....Are the settings not stored anywhere? I checked the registry and could not find them. Basically, I would like to add a link to \Windows\Startup so the app launces on boot, but if the settings are not stored then it makes this not work. This will also play a role in the usefulness of the app for people who want to build it into roms.

Ah, and one suggestion. Perhaps you could have the app minimize to the tray where the status of the app can be indicated in some fashion. You have your color scale, perhaps have the tray icon reflect this color to allow the user to see what level they are set on. A today plugin would also be nice, but may be overkill for an app like this.

This programs is the kind of utility we need for any kind of phone. Port roms, get new youtub video player, album viewer. all this stuff is just for fun. but this one is the kind of thing we lack in phone/devices.

This was suppose to be a default thing coming with WM. not the **** kind of cal block have in gsm config.

Dude.. awesome. thanks and more thanks for this prog.

One thing that i liked ( and i still cant understand why wm or other non symbian phones doesnt have) was the add to calendar the call. This was a must..

If someday when you have free time or wish.. ( so, lets do the gimme gimme that everyone speak about xda). add more options to appointment. like the user calling group and a option to popup a note at end of talk( that go to appointment note together).

more awesome can be the sms message go to appointment to.

I spend almost one hour day doing all this manually.

but dudde.. THANKSS.. FROM DEEP HEART :-) A BIG HUHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA for you single, small but incredible amazing usefull program.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] R3PUBL1K:
I would presume the Feature - Reject unknown/private call (calls that do not display caller ID) mode is suppose to drop incoming calls even if "Accept all calls" is on. For me it does not though the "contacts only" selection does.

Have not tried anything else yet, but nice application.

If the above worked for me then I would donate. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Keland44:

Phone does ring once...

Hi, first congrats on a nice piece of sw! Now, the point of a call blocker is to give the busy signal. I don't know if its my operator or the software but the phone does ring once (when you're on caller, not the device itself) and then gives a busy tone. Is this how its supposed to work? I would really like to have a piece of sw that would give just the busy tone WIHOUT ringing so the caller REALLY thinks that the phone is busy...
