Hi, I don't know if a post has been put up, but I don’t know what to search for. I was wondering if any knew of any software on windows mobile 5 which will enable me to block specific incoming calls from my phonebook or calls as private or unknown numbers and sms/text messages.
Need something like this badly

This may be what you are after
I use Inesoft Address Book and it offers the functionality you require, except for text messages. The large contact photos and other enhancements are also very good.
THANKS mosgeo
Many Thanks mosgeo for you promt reply. Am downloading the cab version from the site. is this a full version?
Yes, completely non-crippled for 14 days. The bit you are looking for is the 'Incoming calls' menu item on the Today tray (bottom right, silhouette icon).
Incidentally, I found the Today ABC plugin took up too much room (and possibly slowed things down, not sure) and removed it via the options.

i am in a simular situation however is it possible to rather than block text messages from a particular contact i would rather not be notified, i.e. Dave sends me a text message and it notifies me as normal however if psyco girl sends me a message it wont flash up on my screen for all to see......
Hi
I plan to move from HD2 to desire HD.
What I need is an app, that can filter calls and sms from specific contacts. Of course, there are lots of these already. What I used to have with WM is the ability co completely hide the incoming call( ignore function) All apps I have tried so far will clear the call log, silience it, but when the actual call is happening, the call screen will show up( with the pictue of the caller and so on... I want this hidden as well
So, I look for fresh ideas. I tried all apps on my HD2 (SDcard Android, of course) and I suppose there might be difference in the app behaviour n the actual Desire HD. Any suggestions welcome and I hope the topic will be useful to others than me..
PS I know about the send to voicemail function - I want the ring to go on , just like tke one calling to thing I am in a cinema or not hearing my phone, not to hang up the call
I to hv moved from Wm to android. N this is first app I hv searched with no results kindly help
i am looking for an alternative too, i try all the aplications on market ( black list, call filter, etc) no ignore function
Just switched from an xperia x10i to a droid x....
Xperia had contacts, call history and DIALER all in one application...
With the droid X, unless I am missing something, contacts and dialer are separated (though dialer has contacts, you can not change or edit them)...
So a big ol... WTF mate.
Also. New to verizon, how can I get rid of the 'In case of emergency' crap?

Motorola's stupid customizations include having contacts and dialer in different apps.
Try another dialer app, like Dialer One.
Try YouLu Address Book. It's awesome.

takePhone is a great one too, and looks really sharp. Has speed dials, predictive numbers, names, or business etc.
TouchPal dialer is another good one that includes contacts, favorites, and predictive dialing. I find that it runs faster than DialerOne.

With the exception of dialer one, none of them have an option to only display contacts with numbers. And that really bothers me as my contacts list is overflowing with fb contacts I can't call.
Okay, not to highjack, but on the same stem of question:
What does your favorite dialer app have that the stock doesn't. Besides the contacts thing. I think the phone contacts are fine for the app. I like the predictive dialing they included in the new update. it syncs with facebook pictures/links contacts which is really nice and keeps things organized. And as mentioned above, it ONLY links phone contacts instead of my hundreds of random facebook friends.
And for this exercise, exclude Youlu from any possible suggestions. It isn't a dialer if it doesn't have a * or # key for god sake.
The reason I ask is because there is so many, and there must be one that just blows everything else away. But DialerOne looked really boring to me. Felt like I was just using the stock dialer.
EDIT: Just tried Takephone (had to rush because I only had 15 minutes or else I just bough a THREE DOLLAR DIALER.) I like it a lot at first, as I did most other dialer apps. But you can't edit the contacts really, and though it links to the facebook pictures, it doesn't link to facebook. The stock dialer, you click on the name, and you get birthday, facebook, phone number, websites, etc...
It also brough back some duplicates that were linked in the stock app. If I have a "Jessie" in my phone book, and her name is "Jesi" on Facebook, I can link them so I have all of the info in one place. Takephone didn't recognize that link for all of my contacts, which is annoying. I'm very anal about having detailed information about all of my contacts.
I think I'm starting to realize there isn't a dialer app that can beat stock droid x froyo.

By stock do you mean stock HTC Sense dialer and People app?

I will take my stock TW dialer and contacts over those 3rd party apps any day. My stock apps on my Epic offer all that they do and in a neat factory looking fashion!

My favourite dialer by far!
stock meant the new droidx dialer that came with this new update. they included a predictive dialer finally.
I think dialerone is the only other dialer that actually has the features dialers need, (again, still can't believe anyone would want Youlu without * and # keys and it doesn't even sync with facebook pictures) but it just seems like the exact same thing as the stock dialer.

The only time you would ever need to press * or # is when you're already in a call, presumably in one of those voice-guided menus. And when that is the case, dialerone or youlu's dial pad are not given access, but the stock Android dialer's dial pad.

Is this the one?
Do you know whether it's possible for it to work on Non-motoblur or whatever ROMS? Like HTC Sense apps don't work no non-sense ROMs.

Only jumping in here because I downloaded Youlu yesterday and was looking for more information. As has been said, it didn't have the * and # keys, but this morning it said 'update available' and lo and behold they've appeared! Not tested them out but I'll assume they work ....
My reason for going for Youlu over the stock people app on a Desire HD was that the people app would not just show a contacts address completely (unless the whole thing would fit on that one small line). Now some people will think that's no big deal but I use the phone as an address book and when you want to send someone a card (Xmas just gone!!) you just want a reminder of the address. What I don't want to happen by default and with no way of changing it, is to have a mapping application lauched. With Youlu you get to see the complete address and only then do you get a mapping application launched (launches Google maps on my Desire HD even after the update that means that the people app launches HTC's Locations).
I still think there's a gap for a good contact app for Android!

Going through these posts, I find 2 dialers that seem really nice. One is the Youlu and the other is the Ray Dialer.
The Youlu works really well. I only wish it had a darker theme to match the default GingerBread black for the Nexus S.
I liked the Ray Dialer a lil more, but it lacked the option of going to the favorites, contacts & log. Yes, the log appears, by default, but liked the option of those Phone/contact/log/favorites/.
What I liked about Ray Dialer is that when I type a name / partial number and then choose the name, it shows me the list of all numbers that the contact has. It also allows me to send and sms or email or whatever I choose. Basically it takes me to the default contacts.
Youlu too shows me all the numbers, but it does not show me if the number is a home, office or mobile number. Also, it does not show me options to do anything other than call.
Hi, so basically this is my issue - I have a huge, huge pet-peeve over text speech (lol particularly). I have a couple of friends who use it excessively and I guess that is the trend these days, like the teen who got arrested over posting to facebook, "Got a dui and hit a car, lol!"
I'd like an app that could edit any incoming texts and just delete the lol (or any other keyword, or replace it, etc) so I never have to see it.
I did find one app called SMS Corrector, but the free version was limited and did not seem to work correctly on my device.
Are there any other apps that could do this?
