Any apps that block calls with the option to not show the incoming call screen? Most apps either hang up, or mute. So i want to mute the call but when the call is being blocked i don't want to see my screen light up and show who's calling. This seems to only work when the options are set to hang up, but i want the calls to ring there end but not show anything my end.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
You could block the number at the carrier level (i.e. Call t-mobile or whoever and ask them to). As far as I know there's nothing that blocks calls as you describe out there. it may be a functionality in some ROMs though.

Someone keeps annoying me...with their repeated calls...
I wonder if there's any call management software (?) that can block certain numbers - forward those call to voice mail or turn my phone into -"unavailable" status as if the phone were off!
Please help!!!
Thanks

Try MagicCall. It blocks known numbers, beside of a lot of other stuff.
But its not free
!
You could try CallFirewall http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307178 which I've used quite a lot on my Athena to block withheld numbers when its cooked into ROMs. Hoping it works for my new Topaz!
Call Firewall works in Diamond2. Unfortunately, the phone still rings once before it stops unwanted call. There is no option such as pick up and hang up. The startup screen may not hiden in some senario, until I tap minimize in the menu. I return back to Call SMS Blocker even it is not quite finger friendliness and not easy to view the call log in TF3D.
Question how it works
Plz tell how these apps work:
The calling side hears like my phone is not available or he hears couple of rings and then like i hang up on purpose?
Check it out here
Try Photo Contacts Pro 5.11 but again, it's not free.
hi,
i am using nexus s (unrooted) and i have two things to know from you guys.
1. if i call someone and he is already in a call, i don't see any notification on my screen that my call is waiting. is there any app for that?
2. if i am in a meeting, i want to reject a incoming call with sms. which app is best for that?
i am not an expert. please help.
thanks

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.

ok this is a weird problem
my own fault
phone is the OnePlus one obviously.
have been having ongoing small problem with the dialer, as i use DW dialer.
sometimes when i went to make an outgoing call the stock dialer would also load and i would have to push the call button twice.
small problem but annoying.
so i went into the settings>apps>phone
and cleared the phone setting >launch by default.
this has fixed the outgoing calls problem
however now when i have incoming calls it doesnt bring up the window to let me answer them. the phone kind of hangs while the incoming call is ringing.
i can get back to the home screen. but there is no way to answer the call.
so i need a way to reassign the incoming calls to the phone.
i dont get any notification on the phone itself. just the ringing phone.
there is no way at all to answer the call - cant swipe down.
the only thing i can do is wait for the call to end. then see who is in my missed calls and ring them back.
please help
cheers

I've been having this problem for a few days now. Phone rings but no UI for me to answer the phone call. Any solution to this yet? Thanks.
U have to tell which ROM u r using. There should be some option in settings for accidental phone wake up (Something like that), you have to disable that. Search in the settings.
I have updated to 5.1.1 but problem is its not showing the name when incoming call....only showing first letter of the name how can we find who is calling
I've just solved this problem on my phone - I'd blocked notifications from Dialler:
Settings --> App Notifications --> Dialler --> Deselect Block
Man!! This is a lifesaver. How come this solution is not available elsewhere. Thanks a lot!!!!
CONTEXT: My parents have always had problems with their MIUI xiaomi phones (redmi note 9, redmi 5+ and note 4x) where Do not disturb (dnd) set up as "alow incoming calls - from anyone" doesn't work at all.
MY QUESTION:
Does the "allow incoming calls - from anyone" dnd option block notification sounds and make calls from anyone ring?
This function is vital to me as I often use DND to silence my phone but let calls through in case something important happens.
Thanks for the help.
When you press the volume rocker, it gives you two options, silence and do not disturb, I always have the phone on silence and it obviously doesn't sound when you get calls or anything like that, I'm not sure if the do not disturb option is actually for calls.
If you press that option it tells you ''sounds and vibrations are disabled'' but if you press on the silence option it specifies ''calls and notifications are silence''
I use DND on a regular basis at work/sleep to filter my calls and make sure that only my girlfriend, certain friends and family can call me and no one else. Meaning only their calls will ring out loud while all other people's calls just ring silently.
Your post is not clear as to what exactly you are looking for but if the short question is :
Does DND features work on MIUI?
Yes they work 100%
Here are the available options in MIUI 12

Sorry for not being clear enough, let me rephrase my question:
Does the "allow incoming calls - from anyone" option actually work while blocking all message notifications?
This option didn't work in none of the xiaomi phones I mentioned because it either didn't ring or it didn't block message sounds so the workaround was doing exactly what you did with your gf but with all my contacts instead.
Okay I recreated the scenario and you seem to be right. I wasn't able to check the calls part but I was definitely able to check that when the DND is set to
Allow Incoming Calls - Anyone
The notifications make a sound.
I'm assuming what you are looking for is that only calls should be making sounds while on DND and not anything else like SMS / WhatsApp / etc.
Hope I helped.

Thanks for the confirmation. From what I see, this happens in every single MIUI phone out there.
I'm shocked that it's still not fixed after so many years of sending feedback through the feedback app.
I guess I'll have to find a workaround once I buy the device
Hello, everybody.
I'm looking for an app that'll allow me to select specific contact(s) from which I won't get phone calls. Basically, a selective do not disturb mode, without them knowing I blocked them.
Any ideas?
It depends on your device. I have a Google Pixel 5, and I can either block contacts or route them straight to voicemail. If you're using the Google Phone app, it should do the same.

There are call blocker apps in the Playstore that don't actually block the number but prevent it from ringing or prevents SMS notifications but still shows the call as a missed call. I don't know of any by name though.

This is exactly what I'm looking for.
I've tested a couple of apps, but they all seem to reject the call, instead of silencing it. I haven't seen any where you can explicitly state that you want to mute the call and hide the call screen altogether.

I can't remember any by name that I've used that do this the way you want, I just remember using an app that did. It/they may not exist anymore.
