could it be because i'm having probs with this site must be the new IE8
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] me.theuser:
hmm

Its odd the other download work for his other projects
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] me.theuser:
Update

the links that don't work are for smartphone and moto Q

I downloaded the pocket pc version which surprisingly enough installs but when i try to set up the blacklist whitelist call barring list i get...:

Error

an unexpected error has occurred in

callfirewall.exe

Select Quit and then restart this program, or

Select Detailsfor more information

Details:

callfirewall.exe

NotSupportedExeception

at Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAr()

at

System.Windows.Forms.Control._initInstance()

..... if you need more i'll post it all but I believe another post has this error also

btw could it be that since i'm using .net CF 3.5 its not compatible?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] civicvx94:
Have you considered adding a "silent start" for this? Such as, it runs as startup without any animation, just runs in the background?

I think that option would really top off this great app :D

Does not seem to work on Sprint Diamond Pro

I have a Sprint Diamond Pro, unmoded. On install, there is an error message that does not reappear after install. I did not write it down. I will reinstall and see. However, the app seems to run and allow me to add numbers to the block list, but those numbers are not blocked. Phone rings anyway.

Is the app just in need of updating?

Thank you!

Nevermind, found a direct cab link. Testing it out now. Very promising app to keep those pesky infomercial people away and any crazy girl friends!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deeznuts:
Hmm, testing on my att fuze. Seems like a promising idea but still needs work. Tried reject all calls, called my phone from a lan line, my cell rings once then shows a missed call, the lan line will ring twice before going to my voicemail. I assume it like this no matter how u reject a call. Would be best if the app would kick in instantly or change a .dll or .xml to make it so the phone wont receive that type of call period! Wihout giving my phone the chance to ring even once and the caller to go straight to vm like my phone is turned off. I was assuming thats what this app was made to do. If someone calls me i can reject it myself on the first ring, was hoping this app would reject instantly. Great idea but still needs work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRE:
Mind sharing that direct link? I'm getting a parse error when I try to download via the author's site (which the freeware site also tries to d/l from; so same problem there) no matter what browser I use.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deeznuts:
Haha, thought someone would ask that. I just googled call firewall 1.4 cab and on the 4th page found a russian site with a cab download. I think it was russian, something like that. Anyways, app is cool but not the best for blocking calls so ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRE:
I'm not looking for anything truly aggressive and I suspect this will suit the small requirements I do have. Thanks for the reminder to check Google, deeznuts; I don't know how it escaped my mind.

For the rest, here's the direct cab link I found: http://www.1800pocketpc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/callfirewall_v_1_42.cab

setup (xml.document )

CALLFI~1.001

CALLFI~1.000

i tried click on the setup file & all i get is like a script running & nothing happens next.

thank you thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaileshashar:
Sorry for the inconvinience guyz !

The site should be up by now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaileshashar:
The option is already there !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 9989bill:
Greetings,

I realised that i have to copy the whole RAR file to my mobile & install from there, instead of extracting the files our from the RAR.

It is working ok....

Good if the ringing tone the caller receive can be remove & there can be an action list ( such as to forward the call ) as a reject. Instead sending it a busy tone.

Will be waiting eagerly for your V1.5

Overall kudo to your effort shaileshashar

Appreciated :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaileshashar:
it is not a RAR file, it is a CAB file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SaintTDI:
Hi, escuse me if this question has been already done... :)

Where do the blocked SMS and Calls go? I mean, does the SMS blocked goes to a specified directory?

Thank you very much! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dinodrew:
blocked calls are sent to voicemail. They usually still show in your call log.

blocked SMS do not hit the WinMo SMS app. they are stored in the "Current SMS Log" which you access through call firewall's menu.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dinodrew:
I have a Sprint Touch Pro (Running Juicy's latest right now). I flashed a 6.5 ROM and really, really liked it, but it appeared that Call Firewall didn't block the calls. I was set to "My Contacts Only" withthe "Call Barring" option checked.

Anyone out there running WinMo6.5 with this or a similar app?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] merkel04:
Hello,

I really enjoy this application. Probably the best I have on my phone after my number got onto some spam list somewhere.

Is there anyway to have a blocked call deleted from the log completely?

I'm using Windows mobile 6.1 on a moto q9c.

Thanks for any help, and thank you again for this great application.

Question

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie here. I have a Htc Touch (Elf) with Onyx Ultimate 4.4.1 by sir Dsixda and my radio version is 03.34.90 . I will just ask if this application is compatible to this rom? Anyone out there who have already tried this to your Htc Touch with Onyx Ultimate rom?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sevenalive:
here is a slient ringtone i made, just add the blocked numbers to your contact list and set a ringtone to silent.

Also,

shaileshashar

I got this problem, its blocking calls great, but its sending them to my voicemail and they keep harrasing me and filling it up. Once they found out it was blocked, they called me every 2 min and left voicemail.

Can you release an update or tell me a way i can have blocked numbers or certain ones not reach the voicemail. You probably have to answer/hangup real quick.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] merkel04:
I use youmail for my voicemail. That allows you to select callers who can't leave voicemails. Then I set their greeting to an error code and message that says my number has been disconnected. The spam calls have slowly been coming in less and less since doing this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chronicels:
nice job

nice job and i personally tested it and it works. if you can enhance this system, the only lack here is the password when you open it and the other thing is when you want to save the sms that has been blocked. anyways thanks for this nice system. WTG! :D

Call Blocking option

The application is very good, but I had better one with Motorola ROKR E6 (linux), in that phone the call blocking software had a option to send what type of signal to the caller.

Like Busy, Number not in use, Call failed etc.

Specially sometimes it's more troublesome to block a call by sending busy tone. But the number not in use is a very good option. Cause the caller would know that I`m not using the number. As a result more effective. So my request is can you put that option in the type of sending signal to the blocker. Thank you

Can´t install in topaz with wm6.1

Hi

This program as i have read so far is something that i really need. However i can't seem to install it. i have the NET CF 3.5 installed and tried to run the 3 cab versions of the program i could find here but the message is always that "callfire... was not installed successfully". i even tried to uninstall CF 3.5 and install CF 2.0 instead but it wont let me do that.

My phone is the htc topaz and i have WM6.1.

Please help...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] parcou:

I keep my contacts in categories and I have all my work names in a category called JOB. After hours I would like to block those calls...can your app block by category?

Thx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Biker1:
What app was that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] johnripper1:
How do you sent a "number not in use" message? This is a network feature only?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Biker1:
I don't think that feature is available in this app.

There was a post (#441) about a phone that had that capability as part of the native software, from what I read.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Espensodal:
Got an idea for this app :)

Make an option to block every phone call that comes from a hidden number/no number ID. Complete with a custom SMS reply to those insane phone sellers!

gonna make my day ;)

sorry if this has been proposed before, i havent read all the posts.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Biker1:
I have that with Magicall. It is a pay app though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] johnripper1:
Of course it is not in THIS app. My question was regarding how a phone can send sutch a message.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Biker1:
Your previous post came right after post #444, so I thought you were referring to post #444 thinking that it was an available option with this program.

Sorry about the misinterpretation.

No prob :-P

command line

Hi,

thanks for this great app that's so useful.

I' ve some suggestions...

1.) a command line "exit" or "stop" to terminate the programm

2.) command lines like white, black, all, none for the mode

3.) command line like unknown, sms to reject those

These commands could so helpful in my automated schedule.

Thanks in advance!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GreenLantern:
Was just looking through the thread for some arguments that can be run with the program. I have G-Profile launch the program when I get to work, it'd be nice if I could do that silently or any of those commands...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] efeene:
Thanks

Great app.

Waiting for the fix if on a call and a 2sd call is blocked (like a reject unknown is mark) the 1st is hung up. (1)

And one improvment: I prefer send a voice message (Divert calls) instead of SMS. (2)

(1) - This is a know issue on PPC the same happens on SPB Phone Suite

(2) - I only see this on Advanced Call Manager for Symbian

To solve the issue on restart (app not reloaded) I simply add a shortcut on Windows Startup folder

Good work:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Showtime7:
Getting ready to download but as a suggestion something that would be useful for me and maybe others is a starting pattern white list... Like how you have the block calls starting with a specific pattern, how about a white list just like that? I only answer calls from my area code, so that would be useful for me. Hope this works!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SirBismuth:
I am going to try this on an i900 Omnia, with a cooked 6.5 ROM, and see if it works. Will post results here.

2 basic questions

Will your program work with WM6.5?

And lastly, I'm using the T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2; what version should I download and install? The smartphone version or the Pocket PC version? That always confuses me.

Thanks!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] efeene:
Select

Mode: Black List

Menu -> Black List Options -> Pattern

write the area code, if the area code is part of the number identified.

I just tried on Diamond with WinMob 6.1, but seems OK on WM 6.5

Try the Pocket PC version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sideswipe:
Since the program does not activate until after one ring, does that ring show up on the device? Any way around this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] efeene:
In my experience the first ring appears in the first number call blocked, when the second call of the same blocked number appears dont ring anymore.

I only use the program to reject Unknown/Private calls and the first ring only appens in the first rejected call, after that dont ring anymore .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djsylert:
Awesome program, but when i try to block "restricted" calls from coming in, i am unsuccessful..if i choose to block all incoming calls that works with the private calls, i even tried adding my "last call" a.k.a. "restricted" into the black list and to no avail...any advice?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mehrtens:
This program is amazing, thanks a lot!

Sorry, english is not my langage and I don't know if you have discussed about this :

- I would like to send a sms (for eg. : "you've been blacklisted") fort calls & sms. Is there a thing to do or is it impossible to do this thing when we receive a sms, just a call?

I own a Touch HD, in this moment I have succeed to :

-reject call from a number in the blacklist

-reject sms from a number in the blacklist

I tried to send automatically a sms when i receive a sms but it seems doesn't work. I think it's not a problem because I saw :

"Ver 1.1

----------

Also added an option when selected, will ask you whether to send an SMS when a call is rejected. "

But I would like to have confirmation.

Thanks a lot
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tzha:
enhancement request

Very usefull SW. thank you.

1. Is there any newer version (after 1.4) expected?

2. Is it possible to have the white list just match that last 7 digits of the number? this will overcome all the formating issue and the chances of someone calling you from a number which is exactly the same but with a different area code or country code is pretty slim

Editing whitelist in CallFirewall

Hi,

My apologies if the answer to my problem has already been posted.

I need to edit/delete the numbers in my whitelist, but I can't seem to be able to do that. I can add last caller and add number from my contacts, but not edit/delete the numbers that are already in the list. My list is getting way too long.

I don't mind deleting the whitelist file and starting from fresh, but can anyone tell me where that file is located? I can't seem to find it. The CallFirewall is installed under my Device/Program Files.

My phone is the HTC Touch Pro.

Thanking you in advance.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] efeene:
Hi

Go to

Menu/White List Options

On the top you have a imput box, wright the number or area number click on "Add" then "Save".

To remove numbers:

Tap over the number with stylus and select "Remove" or "Clear List" then "Save".

Allways the config file (CallFirewall.xml) is created on the Root, i.e. /CallFirewall.xml

Hope this help

I have a lot of telemarketers calling me around the clock and I would like to return the favor..

Is there a way I can set up so that if number1 calls it will be redirected to number2, and if number2 calls it will be directed to number1.

I will be happy to know I have caused some confusion.. unfortunately I will not be able to listen in on the following conversations ;)

Editing whitelist in CallFirewall - SOLVED

Dear Efeene,

Thank you so much for your help. It solved my problem. I didn't realise I have to tap AND HOLD the stylus for a few seconds to get the options :-) I feel so embarrassed now for not knowing that simple step :(

Your input have helped solve the frustrations I've had with this problem over these few months :mad:

CallFirewall is great program.

Thanks again. I have made a prayer for your good health :)

Not working for me for black list which I personally think is the most important and used feature. It rejects all calls ok but will not reject the black list numbers when put into black list mode.
