Save their number and then in phonebook you can set it to send directly to voicemail.
Don't know about texts though.

use SPC (Super Private Conversation)
its perfect application for u bro,
download it from market
just put SPC in market search...

I use Mr. Number, it works great. Instead of voice mail you can have it pickup and hang up. I don't think my screen even lights up when a blocked call comes in. Its "suspected spam" feature works great. If you install it now, you can view the call list from inside and ads those number you want blocked.
They updated it so now you can subscribe and get instant caller id info and it tells you the last time that number called, as they're calling, that is if they're not blocked. Also, you can block the texts from the blocked numbers if set in options. Try it out, you'll like it.

What is the best call blocking app???

What do you use???
What is the best call blocking app. I need to block unknown numbers and stupid telemarketing call. I also need it to log all call not just block them.
Paid and free one's.
I have not rooted my phone yet.

I use an app called Mr. Number. It logs all calls that are made to your phone, and there are various options. I have mine set to allow all calls from anyone in my contacts list. All other calls automatically go to voicemail, and I always have the option to go back and add a previously blocked number to the whitelist. There are other options/things that the app can do, but that's mainly what I use it for.
Because of that, I am only using the free version.

just place the number in your contacts & if you can send them directly to voicemail from there & it won't ring your phone.
just go to teh contact, click menu then click "options" then click the checkbox next to "incoming calls"
that is how I do it. Sure it fills my contact list more, but its the easiest way to not having my phone ring

Root call blocker if you never want it to get sent to your phone at all. Its the only one that does that. All the rest just send to voicemail.

+1 for Mr. Number. Worked great for me.

I've been wanting to use a call blocking app, but how bad does it affect the battery life?

Just use the reject slider, "is da best"
G2X

I use call blocker gold. It has many options but not one call blocker I have seen does what CM7 does built-in and that's send the call to an infinite loop of ringing. There is a Phone.apk and Contacts.apk for Froyo in the HD2 Android section that does this.
Personally, I would rather send a not wanted caller to an infinite ring than to my voicemail. Hopefully, it will be incorporated to the new ROM's coming out.

If you are getting telemarketer calls, get on the do not call list....it's that simple. Anything else...Mr. Number. Just know it doesn't block the calls--that's impossible to do from the handset. It picks up and then hangs up the call.

Call Blocker
Been using Easy Filter. Works great, logs calls rejected and real easy to add numbers to block list. Gives you several options on how to handle blocked calls as well.

I should of said this before, I needed a feature like black list option from my G1 with Cy rom.

Afaik, the only way to do that is by modifying phone.apk and contacts.apk. I am pretty sure the blacklist option is already incorporated in current cm7 roms for the g2x.

Is there an option to send it to an endless ring? Are there any call blockers that can do that? Or any call blockers that will forward the call to a number of your choice?

google voice
use google voice best gives you de option to even screen call to know what they want u can just port u current number for $20 or get one for free u get free calling all over us i just ported my number when i got my g2x use every day voice-mail to text love it to read about it

Cm7 blacklist

Yep, the two best ones are made by the same company:
Root Call Blocker (for general use):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta
Call Master (for advanced users):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist
These are the only blockers that completely block everything without turning the screen on. Need to be rooted though.

The Free will be expired in next two months.

Can you support allow list only to number with specific label in contact list? For example I have cheap calls to some numbers which I mark them
is there any way of blocking all the others?
Also will it support google groups? for example block calls to specific contact group?
And a last question... Does it only support blocking from the default dialer through mobile network or from every dialer that uses mobile network?
(I suppose it doesn't block calls made from sip....)

Hello!
[solved]
I have downloaded the XDA version and try to install it with CM13 on my device GT-I9100.
However, this fails with the following error:
"App was not installed."
How can I analyse the cause of this installation failure?

PRO version is not identified w/o Google Play
Hello!
I have purchased the PRO version of your app "Outgoing Call Block".
Now I have setup a device w/o Google Market and restored the app with Titanium Backup.
However, I cannot use the backup because it is not working and asks me to install the PRO version.
Can you please provide an apk package that allows me to install the PRO version w/o Google Play?
Thanks

[APP] Telephony Data Backup

Hello,
We present our new app: Telephony Data Backup...
How many times have you lost a important call log or message?
This app allows you to make backups (manual or automatically) from the calls log and from the database of messages (sms).
As for incoming calls and received messages, if you activate the option, the backup will be performed as soon as the corresponding event occurs.
In contrast, due to the limitations of Android, the backup of outgoing messages is held every few hours, in a background process.
Furthermore, the application will show the call log or messages with a comfortable and intuitive interface and can answer calls or messages received from the application itself.
Of course, you can delete entries or log messages.
The paid version removes the Ads and allows you to create a backup in the sdcard of the app data.
Please, don't forget to contact if you have issues...
How it works
When a call is ended, or a message received, the app starts a background process that performs the backup.
You can enable/disable backup for phone calls or messages separately.
Permissions
Read contacts and read profile: To get the contacts data and map phones and contact names
Read SMS, Receive SMS: To read the messages in order to backup it
Write SMS: To allow users to send SMS messages from the app
Read call log, read phone state: To read the call log when a call ends in order to backup it
Make call: To allow users to start a call from the app
Read/Write external storage: To make backups of the app settings
Receive boot completed: To set timers to do internal tasks
Internet: To display Ads
Billing, get accounts: To manage payment users data

Nice work!

MMS and Cloud sync
Your app looks promising !
Does it save MMS too ? Does it send data to the cloud for a more useful backup ?

Looks nice, will give it a try, thanks

App data backup sync with Drive is coming in a few hours...

Thanks for this usefull app !
I've seen the cloud sync in your ToDo list => great !
Could you make possible to change the backup folder ? (I like to regroup backup folder in the same one (titanium backup, settings backup...)
MMS are also saved ?

I will try it for sure

how to delete back up data thanks

Very useful app! One stupid question though. Where does the backup save to? If I were to wipe my phone the backup data would be gone unless I physically move it off the phone, right?

So does this app have the ability to restore the backed up call log and sms messages?

The local backup is stored at sdcard.
If you wipe your phone, without clear sdcard data, you are able to recover it.
Also, I have just published a new version (1.2.10) that includes synchronization with Google Drive. If you enable it you can restore the backup from local or from your Drive.

Nope.
Calls log is writeable, this is not a problem, and I have implemented (finally removed for now due to some phones only store
the last 500 calls in the log), but sms database is (since android 19) only writeable by the default sms app.
I'm trying to know if is possible to bypass the sms protection using root commands, but only partial success for now.

Hi Robert @bartito @OP
One more small wonder. My only worry how do you plan to manage Calendar Notifier app and Telephony Back up?
Surely you will be having fun. I will start testing this app as before. :thumbup:

You're right, swipe isn't working fine when you click the switch. I will correct in next release.
Related to the call-block, I need to learn about if it's possible.
Related to the sms-block, isn't possible in Android since sdk-19. I need to learn if this is possible with root permissions, but I think not.

Even Titanium restores the SMS by changing default SMS app to Titanium, restore and then changing it back. Maybe this will work for yout tool too? (For both actions user is asked, so this would need some explanation to the user in before )

basically there are only 2 solutions: update the database using root permissions or become the default sms app for a while.
the 2nd solution is probably the best.

First: thanks for the pro Code. But i do have an issue with this: i followed your instructions, a message "key is valid" pops up, but the advertisements keep alive. I did a reboot and tried twice, no difference. the version i got is 1.1.9, the version shown under Settings say "1.1.9 PRO"

[APP] Calls Blocker

Are you tired of that heavy that call you twenty times each day? ::
HOW IT WORKS
With this app you can block incoming calls for:
* Hidden numbers
* Phone numbers (match start of the number, end of the number or complete number)
* All numbers from a contact
You can enter the blocked numbers manually, from the contacts list or from the calls log.
The app support several working modes:
* Accept all incoming calls
* Reject all incoming calls
* Block the numbers/contacts that are added to the list (blacklist)
* Accept only incoming calls from the numbers/contacts that are added to the list (whitelist)
Note that the app is started when the call is received. Due to that, is possible that the system starts the incoming call ringtone before the app ends it. If that occurs, please, create a ringtone with 1-2 seconds of silence and use it.
Also, the app can show the list of rejected calls and much more...

PERMISSIONS
Receive boot completed: To restart the app after boot
Internet, access network state: Required by Ads
Billing, get accounts: To manage the PRO key
Read phone state: In order to receive phone calls and stop it
Read & Write external storage: Not needed for now, but in the ToDo list I have a backup utility

Thank you for the app!! I am getting a Registration key is not valid message however.
EDIT: mia culpa....seems like my copy didnt get the entire thing

Hidden Numbers
May seem like a dumb question but just wondering if the blocking of hidden numbers is "all hidden numbers" or a hidden number recognized by the app after you have received and blocked it?

it works

Tried, key works! Quite confusing with "1" and "l"...

Thanks, bought it, can't stand ads.

Working very good so far , Using Galaxy S5 Duos and working great for both SIM , no ringing is heared while calling just direct busy which is very good since other applications gives a tiny normal calling tone then busy
will support by buying the app , please keep it good and updated
showing numbers by name while picking it from the call log or while checking the blocked call list instead of just the number will be good
ability to hide app icon from app drawer will be good addition also
auto add a number to blacklist if user canceled it for xx times ( if possible to do this feature )
app icon needs another color and a little bit more pro touch for the design
thanks for this great app :good: hoping that it will always working good

Hidden numbers refers to calls that are not providing the from number.
In spanish are "número oculto" and I have translated directly. Please, let me know if in english has other name.

Hey are you the dev for "root call blocker" ?

Hi, couldn't really test the app yet, since I can't add phone numbers from contacts to Whitelist. I always get the message "None of your contacts has a phone number".
Using Galaxy Note 4 with 4.4.4.
P.S.: Also missing a translation when using "Picking a number" - the three options regarding the whole number or only a part of the number are in Spanish.

Are your contacts synced with Google? I'm using the immutable id of the contacts in order to allow backup/restore operations (not jet implemented).

No, I'm not synching contacts with Google (would make to much mess in my phone due to number of google contacts )). My contacts are only stored locally (in the phone) and a copy of them on SIM card. So there is no solution for this (yet ) unless I sync with Google?

Cool no worries just making sure, dont want him to have any of my money.
Will have a look thanks mate

What is difference b/w this app and sams built-in block app?

Can you please add the function to block groups?
I have a group for business and want to add the entire group in the holidays.

@bartito or anyone else used the app - I have a question
What is the blocking method of this app?
Blocks the call at system level. No ringtone or screen wake
Rings for few seconds & then the app rejects it
Picks the call & immediately rejects it

Re calls blocker app
Cheer'z for this app! and the pro activation key it's working fine thanks!
gonna buy it after ive tried it out its only £1.07 to remove the adds, which i think is well worth the £££ :good:

tried to call my phone using another carrier , you can hear the ring for a sec then busy tone
