Running Android 2.3.3 Nexus S - crashes on every attempt to run the app.
Will test this thoroughly
Sent from my LG-P999
downloaded and tested on VZW network. Calls dont show up or ring but they still go to voice mail.... no point in sending unwanted calls to voice mail. "call Blocker" from the market will not ring but it will pick up and then hang up.
Testing it now. I will report back soon.

Strange, runs fine on my own stock nexus. Could you send a logcat of the crash to [email protected]? Please be sure to include the app name and nature of your problem.

Wow this is great just what we need I'm downloading it now

I'm having some issues with this...
Regardless of whether it's in "Reject" or "Don't Answer" mode, I get varying results. Sometimes it goes to T-mobile's "The subscriber you have dialed..." recording, and other times it goes to my voicemail. Basically, both end results occur sporadically regardless of the setting.
Another issue, it seems to be failing altogether sometimes. It works perfectly on my end for the most part, then randomly it won't work at all (blacklisted calls get through normally). When it stops working, I have to reboot my phone before it works again. Nope - no task killer. Even if I force stop it then restart the service, it still doesn't work until I reboot.
All of this is on an HTC Glacier (MT4G) running CyanogenMod7
Running MIUI 2.3.3 on HTC Desire. Reject doesn't seems working. I setup blacklist contact and its keep on ringing instead of rejecting(but it tries to reject ,but unsuccessful)
Otherwise it's gud.
Please fix it.
Thanks for your input! Now please send some logcats as describèd in the op.
Without them i cannot fix it.

If you search in the Development and Hacking threads on XDA there is a tool called, IIRC, Call Firewall, which might be what you are looking for.

There is a programme called 'Call Blocker' I used it on my Diamond, using WM 6.1, give it a go.
SPB Phone Suite does the job as well, they call it "Call Fliltering"

Looks like it simply rejects the call. If that is the case, the caller will be sent to my voicemail and I still have to delete it afterwards.
Call Bouncer is better. It accepts the call and hang up. No voicemail.
However, there is a problem I think would appear in all these programs. At times, I got a ring (or half a ring) before it is caught by Call Bouncer. I found this rather annoying.
Is there any apps out there that silents selected incoming calls instead of rejecting them?
Sometimes I don't want them to know I'm rejecting their calls, just that I wasn't around to receive them.

I have the impression that pocket call bouncer has an option to reject (accept and hang up) or ignore (turn of ringing). Give it a try. I've used it on HD2 but I don't like it because at times the phone rings once before the bouncer can take action.
Magicall does all that. It can:
1) reject (send to voicemail)
2) drop
3) pick up and hold
4) ignore (no ringing is sounded while caller keeps waiting)
5) handle incoming SMS
You can also set it to automatically send SMS to callers.

my most excellent buds.. the programs are all reactive stuff.. something has to happen for the programs to do something.
If you really want to let the person think you just didn't pick up his call, then just simply copy a silent ringtone and use it as a custom ringtone for the person... you'll never "hear" from him/her again.
And.. it just takes 30s to turn off voicemail.. I mean, you wouldn't want the person to wonder why is it that you have voicemail and he/she wasn't diverted there?

Just replying moooxooom's statement that we should use a silent ringtone for all callers. Sometimes it takes just a little bit more thinking to capture all the usual scenarios.
Cool call management app - my recommendation
I use HTC Diamond 2 and recently came across a cool call management and call blocking app XBLOCKR. I first downloaded the Lite version from Microsoft Marketplace and was quite impressed. It has a great feature "Do Not Disturb" and alas it is not available in the Lite version that I was using. I contacted them through their website as they sell it for $ 19.95 which I feel is a reasonable price, but thought of bargaining
They gave me a code and I purchased it for $ 14.95.
It's a great app if anybody is looking for something different than call blocker apps. It gives you options to handle your call when it arrives as well you can pre-program. I am very happy having it on my Diamond. Check it out as they have a 100 call trial version with all the features.

The readme for Call Bouncer states that it ignores the same as Call Firewall does, this sending the caller over to your voicemail. The developers site for it is at http://www.ipocketpc.net/applications/Category32-Utilities.aspx (scroll down to it) to see if this is the same Call Bouncer you are talking about.
Best Call Managers
Hi
Check this one out http://www.pocketx.net/products/photocontactspro_ppc/
Allows you to set call management individually or in groups. Can set timed profiles. I rate this as one with the most variety of options
I know that there call blocker apps that can answer/hang up or send the blocked call to voicemail. But is there a app that can send the blocked call to a special message. Something like the phone disconnected message. So the person would think that phone was disconnected and stop calling period or you can record your own personalized message for that particular number. This message would only be played for blocked calls and the regular voicemail message would be played for unblocked messages. Is this already an app or can someone develop it.

Great idea! I hope something like this can be done... Would be interesting if you could just set an mp3 as the receiving message or something. Very interesting indeed.
Sounds like a fun idea, maybe someone annoying keeps calling you and you set it to forward to an mp3 file of a message saying this phone line is disconnected... not a bad idea but right now i just add them to the blacklist and let it go to voicemail
I don't use this particular feature, but Extreme Call Blocker Droid can do this. As far as I can tell, the program works fine on my Nexus One (eventhough it says Droid in the name). Within this app, look at the "Pretenders" list for this feature. It comes with like dialtone, snoring and a few others by default (and you can add more).
Google voice does this.
When you get a voicemail from them add them as "blocked", next time they call, they get a "this number has been disconnected" message.
Thanks just what I was looking for.

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.
Every blocker ive tried just hangs up after connecting. But I have urgent need of an actual call blocker that will send straight to voicemail or an app that will block all voice calls as if the phone is off.
Also, is there a way to block voice but keep SMS?
Thanks in advance.

try Gblocker
Its just like all the others - connects then blocks. Perhaps theres a root app to do what i require?
If you have the number saved as a contact you can edit contact details and there is an option to send straight to voicemail

So I keep getting calls from auto-dialers coming as "Unknown" on Caller ID.. I answer and it's that 5 second delay then someone in a foreign country asking me to sign up for a newspaper or refinance. I want to ELIMINATE these calls. I have a block list that works good in Android, but it doesn't allow me to ass Unknown to blocked calls... I saw some posts from several years back, but nothing recent. Is there anything good out there today that I can install to block unknown\unavailable calls from coming through to my phone?
Search "Mr. Number - Call Block" in the Market. I use it and it works great.

The only thing I don't like is it flashes one ring\screen, then kills the call. Not sure how the built-in blocker is different, but with it my phone never acknowledges a call coming in.

Try Extreme Call Blocker on the Market. It's highly customizable. You can have it send unkown callers to voice mail, or to hang up immediately. You can do the same for phone numbers you add yourself - like the ex-girlfriend who won't stay away, and the guy trying to sell you life insurance. You can even have it block an entire exchange, like 216-951 (216 being my area code and 951 being a random exchange I pulled up).

Hope you can fix this issue when incoming call to phone (not the forwarded phone numbers) will get re-directed to voice mail. It happen randomly, when I test myself using other phone no problem but some of my friends sms me telling me they get re-directed to voice mail when they try to call me. I have uninstalled the app for the time being.

I don't think this is an app problem, because the app just reads the log to discover a forwarded call, and has nothing to do with the forwarding settings..
Please check your diverted/forwarded call settings on your mobile...

This (great) app makes more noticeable a forwarded call, when you have the phone in your hands.

A notification message probably or
even a way to mark the forwarded call in the call logs.

Yeah. Great suggestion GreekSofos.
What if you miss the call. You should have a way to know if it is a diverted call.
@rabbat78
1) Note 3 Kitkat Rooted user here. It didn't work 1st time (no notification) despite the fact that I m rooted. Needed to run the FCtools anyway. (And I got in the PC command line a message that you leak memory or something)
2) Where is the enable/disable service switch that was present in 1.0 ? Can't find it.
How can I switch it off easily?
3) +1000 to the above suggestion to find a way to mark the forwarded calls after they ended ringing.
Useful app anyways.
Hello,
Great app !!
Installed on Sony Xperia Z1 Compact, with Lolillop 5.0.2.
I've no notification when the phone is locked.
If the phone is unlocked, the notification appears.
+1 to have a mark of the forwarded calls after they ended ringing.
Thanks
Is it my rom or does Android 5.1 already include the feature to show forwarded calls?
Worked on my Xperia Z C6602 android 4.2.2
It would be great if you make it in a way that no rooting be ever necessary . . . or developer options.
It's better to make the message box much bigger . . . or resizable.
I also installed the driver from developer.sonymobile.com
Thaaaaaaaaaaaanks man ....
Had hard time thought. Try it 10-20 times but didnt give up.
Finally i made it work on my Note 4 N910C unroot.
Install latest drivers and work with usb debugging on.
Works even with the screen locked ....
