When I'm screening a call and the caller hangs up, I only have a split second to hit the red button to report it as spam. Does anyone know how to extend the length of time for that button to stay on the screen? I'm assuming that when you hit that button it reports it to Google to gather data, but will log-pressing on a caller in the history and selecting Block/report spam provide the exact same results?
It doesn't happen every time but a few calls have triggered a notification that has a block and report as SPAM button for me. Not sure what causes that to trigger but it isn't happening consistently.
I've used the call screen a few times but the intro text is too long and the calls nearly always end immediately after the bot is finished talking. Neat feature but I think it would actually be more useful for answering calls when you can't talk like in a meeting at work or on a loud bus/train or something.

I usually only use it when the caller ID shows up as "spam likely" and every time, they hang up before the bot finishes. It brings me joy, but I haven't needed to mark as spam because of it.
I did try it a couple times with real callers (a doctor's office and a customer service person), and they both started to identify themselves, allowing me to connect to the call before they hung up. It's GREAT!
Pressing the button only sends a message to the caller to remove you from their list. I'd definitely report/block after the call

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

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

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 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?
Has anyone else has this problem-
Phone is in your pocket. It rings but you don't answer as it's on silent etc
You miss the call or the other person puts the phone down.
The s6 automatically goes to this messaging screen and counts down before sending a message to the person who called you without you even realising.
It only seems to happen when the phone is in my pocket. I have removed all of the auto reject messages and cannot see any other option in the settings of the phone, dialler or messaging that may do this. The three dot hover does not show anything when pressed.
Any help is very welcome as I think my friends and family are getting annoyed by these messages that I am in a meeting.
Many thanks
Hi,
I've just got a watch 2 sport and when I've dialed someone off the watch and they are engaged I cannot see how to end call as icons disappear, I then have to get phone out my pocket , same when I'm on a call and want to end it off watch without getting phone out, unlocking it, then ending call, how do you?
Thanks.
Would like to solve the same problem.
u can set in option to ends call by pressing power button
I've tried wear dialer and that does what I want, ie there is an answer and a end call icon on the watch itself, it's not perfect because once in a call you can't see anything on the watch bar the dialer, if you want to see the time by pressing the home button it ends the call.
not sure if i understand good (my english is not very well )
if u have a call and wanna see for example time, just swipe dialer like u would close any app, call will remain and you will be able to see what u want and at the end of call press power button

Not my situation.
I cant see the call informations on my watch.
Once I pick up the call, call UI on the watch dissapear.
Kind silly if you are driving car and speaking to your bluetooth and you are not able to end call without picking phone out of your pocket.

That's what I can't understand, I call a number from my watch through my Bluetooth, the call ui disappears, the number is say engaged, I then have to go back to my phone to end call as the watch won't do it, the only way the watch will do it is by taking the call solely through the watch itself, the call ui then stays.
Not the best but I've stuck with wear dialer even though once on a call the watch only shows the call ui, if you want to know the time while on the call, you can't.
