[Q] how to reject all calls except my contacts ? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
The s6 " do not disturb" feature only mute instead of blocking (rejecting the call) while the "call rejection" feature blocks only unknown numbers and by unknown it means only the hidden calls (when no number is shown).
Did i miss any feature which can block any number which is not in my contact list?
If there is no more such a feature as s3, any recommended app for S6?
Thank you much .

In the call rejection settings, the same place you saw blocking "unknown" numbers you can list phone numbers to be rejected.

I was looking for this very same thing yesterday and found this app

Thank u cpfeifer but i meant my phone should reject any number which i dont have it saved in contacts and s3 used to have such a feature.
Nflwideout thank u it is an option.but i thought s6 has it integrated but i am certain that samsung has removed that feature.
thank u both.

Does toggling Unknown allows you to do that?

[APP] Blist - stop any unwanted call or text right away in a snap

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lovetere.blist
Stop any unwanted call or text right away in a snap!
BLIST is the app to block all voice calls and texts* from a black-list of numbers you choose (including private numbers). In addition, you can mute any notification from these numbers and delete them from your call log. For your privacy, you can hide BLIST itself from your launcher. You will set a secret number to be dialed** and access to the app.
All BLIST activities can be monitored in its activity log or through the notification center.
* received texts will be charged by your carrier, if applicable with your plan, even if blocked by BLIST
** it is not a phone call, no cost associated to this number!
If you find a malfunction please do not leave one star, the app is still a beta ... report problems and suggestions to the developer, it will surely be very welcome!

although the message doesn't appear in the the default messaging app, sms popup https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.everythingandroid.smspopup is able to intercept the messages from blacklisted contacts listed in Blist.

Help: Multiple SMS in same Thread

Hi,
I have this issue with Huawei 6 Plus default messaging app.
Some SMS i receive from different numbers appear in the same thread. For example i have some SMS from different Banks, they appear in one thread. Similarly i have SMS from different carriers, appear in one thread. This happens to only non-numbered SMS senders, like banks etc. Regular Contacts are fine. I Tried 3rd party apps, but still i get multiple sms in same threads
I am also facing same issue. Did you find any solution to it?

No. Not yet. Very annoying. Waiting for stable lollipop update and expecting to fix it

In your default messaging app, go to settings, then in general tab(the first tab), uncheck/turnoff the first option (Archive info messages).
Hope it helps. Good luck.

Caller ID and Spam Protection Mod (Whitepages) keeps turning OFF

Guys,
Any idea why Caller ID and Spam Protection option automatically gets OFF, Mostly upon Reboot?
It's in Settings/Advanced Settings/ --
I have it enabled on ROM by using the below code on OMC/XSG/cscfeature.xml
Code:
<CscFeature_Common_ConfigSvcProviderForUnknownNumber>whitepages,whitepages,whitepages</CscFeature_Common_ConfigSvcProviderForUnknownNumber>
This used to work quite well on the S7 and Note 7, and no issue with switching off on reboot. Just on the S8 I'm facing this issue.
Any help is much appreciated!

Offhand i don't have a solution.
However, i can say it's not supposed
to be like that.
My phone is not rooted.
Stock Rom.
No issues with Caller Id button and Spam Protection, sticking /staying on.
(After reboot or not,)
I can toggle it, just fine.
See screenshot.
Don't know if Service Provider
has to support this function, to work.?
or did you maybe disable
"some" setting on phone
and have a knock on affect.
or was the relevant setting "broken /corrupted"
by some other 3rd party app.
If none of above, consider a factory reset.?
It will save you a lot of frustration /trouble.
i'm also had this issue in j7 pro

Really unhelpful since you haven't listed which model you have... A few do but most don't.

Not to surprising. I believe here in the US it is illegal to record a phone call with someone without first explicitly telling them the call is going to be recorded.

Not necessarily. Most states have one party consent where if you're part of the conversation then you can record the call without the knowledge of the other party. 12 states including California do require all parties need to consent before you can legally record any calls though.
Root, Edxposed, FireFDS - native call recorder will be activated
Install ACR unchained. Works fine on the phone, haven't tested on bluetooth

Where are blocked numbers stored?

Hello,
I have a OnePlus Nord10 5G cell phone, running Android 11.
I have received many spam phone calls on my phone, which I have blocked.
Where on my phone are these blocked numbers stored internally?
Thank you.

Blocked numbers are stored by the system application "phone."
It is not at all certain that you will have access to the data of this application.
Thank you for the response ze7zez.
I wanted to transfer the blocked numbers to another phone, but that may explain why I have not been able to find the data.

Try this:
My Blocked - Apps on Google Play
Save and restore your list of blocked numbers from your device.

Thank you for the Great Information ze7zez !

Today I checked. The app captures blocked numbers through the native app, but there is no backup/restore option. There are no options at all.
The investigation and search for a solution is still ongoing.
edit.
It's OK. When you click on the (+), a menu appears with the ability to export the MyBlocked-YYYY-MM-DD.json file.
After importing the file on another device, the application can be safely deleted. The list of blocked numbers remains available to the phone's native app.
