I have Chinese version of Skype. It works perfectly....IF...I start it up once manually after every power up on my Mate 9.
If I don't start it manually....it does not respond to incoming Skype calls or show the orange notifications of incoming Skype calls that were missed.
I gave the app EVERY permission possible...including WRITE to system...but still can not get it to respond to incoming calls unless I start it manually once.
Any thoughts or settings one wouldn't think of?
Thank you.
Maybe lock Skype in the recent menu,when you press recent button click the lock for Skype.

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.
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
Have you tryed Magicall?

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,

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
Can anyone say "Crazy ex-girlfriend"?

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.
So I'm not sure where this setting is or how to disable it, but when I slide the slider to answer a call, then a woman's voice says there there is a call from some one and to press 1 to answer or 2 send them a message or something. Is there way to disable it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

This may help.
If you'd like to answer calls to your Google number without pressing any numbers, simply disable call screening in your Google Voice settings. Here's how:
1. Click the gear icon at the top right of any Google Voice page, click the Voice settings link, and select the Calls tab.
2. Select the 'Off' radio button option in the Call Screening section.
3. Click Save Changes.
With call screening turned off, the first phone that picks up will get the call if you have several forwarding phones.
If a voicemail system picks up the call, any message left by the caller will not appear in your Google Voice inbox, and instead appear on the voicemail system that picked up the call (i.e. your home answering machine, your work voicemail system, etc.). You can turn off call screening on a per contact basis in your Contacts list.

So I was typing a message this morning when a call came in. Before I even realized it, the incoming call screen popped up and I hit the Decline button. Is there an app or mod or setting I'm not aware of that will keep the incoming call screen from coming up when another app is in use? I read that CyanogenMod has a setting like that. The phone rings and a notification appears but the Accept/Decline buttons don't pop up immediately. Is there a way to get that functionality on a Sense ROM?
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!!!!
