Hi I have been trying a lot of call blocking apps but I couldn't find one that blocks calls instantly they all hear at least one normal tone before the busy tone
so is there any app out there that rejects calls and gives a busy tone instantly??
thanx in advance

Thanx that's actually what i'm using now but even the option of fast reject the caller still hears a normal tone before the busy tone
I'm searching for an app the can instantly reject calls and instantly send a busy tone
The app is good at what it does given that it's just an app. Very good, seriously. If you want more than it can do right now, call your service provider.

heres the short ..
If you are running a custom Rom , the your out of luck ... Most devs remove the default ring tones to save space .. but n there are tones coded for incoming messages ,, they usually have F1_ in the name .. If you using the audio hack , then you need to push the original TMUS_ file .. this is where it tell system to look for The F1_ tones during calls...
^will try this, i'm also looking for this option...thanks
I have tried several and all let the phone ring before identifying and blocking the caller, has no one found a hook to get in before the ringing starts and hold of a ring until the caller is identified?
Thanks

Nope will contact them next. I have tried all the free apps out there and even registred one that I didnt find a demo for until its too late. All of the let the phone right for about 5 seconds, not exactly what I consider "call blocking". I contacted the one I purchased and here was their response.
Hello Richard,
SmartBlock uses two different ways to block incoming calls and SMS - one is
running at very low level of the system, so calls and SMS are blocked
unnoticeably as soon as they are received; while another runs at a higher
level that the phone may produce the first ring before a call or SMS is
rejected - in this later case the call may also be forwarded to the voice
mail, or produce the disconnect tone.
The program automatically chooses the one that works on your phone (low
level first then the higher one), the one that works is very much depending
on the OS on your phone, and there isn’t much we can do about it I'm
afraid.
Hope this explains the issue!
Best regards,
Bicheng Liu

I have to say Magicall works! Not a peep or vibration from my phone on a blocked call coming in. Thanks for the tip!
Does Magicall work on 6.5? I have been using Call SMS Blocker but if I am on a call when the blocked call comes in it kills the radio and puts the current call on hold. If I can quickly get back to the call status screen I can take the call off of hold if not it disconnects.

For me my rule doesnt fire when I am on a call, but you should try the demo and find out for yourself. I am very happy with magicall.
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.
I have used Root call Blocker(Rooted user only) and its the only app where the calling party does not get to hear "User busy" which might give an impression that you intentionally disconnected the call. On the receiving end the phone will never ring.

+1 for call master, after a couple of duds, this one was good for me. not too advanced.
"SPC" or "private SMS & call" has a blacklist feature that will block calls and texts from numbers you put in to it.
Been thinking about one of these myself. Hmmmm

Hmm I use afirewall https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lianyun.afirewall.inapp nowdays (this question is a couple years old). It works quite well, it also requires root. It also does not turn on the screen when performing a block.
Whare can I download Magicall.. Because your link doesn't work. Plz tell me.

I'm not sure what you mean about the first question, but I'll attempt to answer both. I don't believe there's an app that tells you when someone is on the phone, but sometimes (depending on carrier) there will be a beep after each ring that signifies the person you want to call is already on the phone. The other indication is a busy signal, your phone will hang up almost immediately after receiving it.
I believe almost all call rejection apps have the option to send texts to the caller once it has been declined. Search the market for 'call rejection' and download whichever one that doesn't require root.

What is the best way to achieve decent Quiet Hours? Even in the latest 4.4.4 update today, it seems futile!
The pre-installed "Assist" app doesn't work well: there is no ability to choose what to mute during the quiet hours. My mum wants to mute texts and emails over night, but not calls. Assist is also buggy: volumes appear to get changed unexpectedly the following day, after a night of quiet time.
I tried an app from the Play Store called Silent Hours (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silenthoursnew&hl=en_GB) but it did not seem to work at all... I enabled a profile for supposed quiet time, but an alert was still heard when I received a test test message.
Thanks in advance! :good:
(Edit: lol sorry for typo in thread title.. should be Quiet obvs, not Quit ... can't seem to edit that now. Admin? Thanks.)
Try this:

Thanks but that app doesn't seem let you choose between "what" gets muted. As stated, I want to mute texts not calls during quiet time.
I found another app that seems to have what you want:

You can tell it to allow calls from favorites or when someone calls twice. As for the volume being buggy, I have yet to see that happen.

Yes, I saw that option which sounds interesting for certain circumstances, if you have favourites set up, but it is not what I am trying to achieve.
The volume bug was reported by my mum, its her phone. So, cannot verify that as yet. I know there have been various other volume related bugs with this phone, according to the recent Motorolla ROM update changelogs however.

Seer will mute everything except calls, and you can setup a schedule.

I am on a company call as we are patching servers and every time we bounce a server I get a bunch of text notifications which is expected. The only issue is I am wearing headphones for the call on my honor 8 and I hear the notification sound in the headphones. Super annoying! Any way to turn this off??? Thanks in Advance.

I don't think Emui has a automatic option. But you can always set notifications to silent or vibrate only.
I suppose there would be an app that changes the sound profile according to phone activity, but never looked for it.

Unless using a specific app for that (with root?), no.
Well that sucks. I require audio notification. But it is way too loud in headphones. This is a deal breaker for me. Contemplating returning device to store...
Sent from my FRD-L04 using XDA Free mobile app
I found a workaround for those who don't like audio notifications from SMS/MMS messagese in headphone while listening to music or watching videos. Install Google Messenger and use it instead. It seems that the Messaging app in EMUI is the issue. It's also weird that there is no option in the app to disable the "beep beep" sound that only happens when headphones are plugged in. Don't forget to set notification sound in Messaging to "None" and disable "Vibrate" or you may have notification from both apps.
OK now this is getting rediculous!! When on a call the person on the other end of the call can hear my calendar and text notifications. It sounds like incoming call "beep beep". This needs to be fixed as it is very unprofessional when on a business call. Please fix this Huawei!!!!

Yes, I get that too. The only way is to silent notifications and vibration.
People are talking to me and ask "what was that?", should have a option to disable it.
Also I haven't found any sound manager in Google play store. Probably only xPosed.

Could you try set up a ifttt script or something?
I've never done it personally, but I've seen others use it for problems, so maybe?
This seems like a bug asit does not always happen.

I'm experiencing this too, anyone has a solution for this annoying behaviour ?
I've written on honor 8 support forum, and they suggest to send my phone to an assistant center, but i think it is a software bug.
I can't really test this right now, but it looks like there is a way to fix it in settings. Under the Do Not Disturb section you can add a rule for an event and one of the options besides calendar events just states "Phone". That ought to squelch the problem.
For me I installed Volume Control + from GPS.
There is a free version but I did not test it on my Honor 8. Still the Volume Control + has controls to separate the Ring tone and Notifications volume so the work independently of each other.
To date this is the only option which works for me without Rooting my device..
Best of all you can manage your volume level for calls to system...
Now I can use the earbuds or phone without getting deaf while on a call or listening to music when a notification comes in...

Huh, mine definitely says Phone and it worked when I tried. I only tested on an outgoing call with my Bluetooth headphones, though. Hope you can find a way that works for you.
