"do not disturb" mode failing to block incoming calls - General Questions and Answers

So I set the do not disturb mode to block ALL calls and also disabled repeat callers and yet I'm still receiving calls. I want to receive no calls from anyone. Am I doing something wrong? how can I block all incoming calls without installing third party app? I'm on android 9.

Block Certain caller from going to Voicemail

Hi All
It have seen alot about blocking callers all together, however I have a particular caller that I still want to accept calls when I choose, but I dont want their calls going to voicemail when I ignore them or miss the call.
Thanks in advance.

disable call function

good day masters!
is there a way to completely disabling the phone funtion (outgoing incoming call) and just keeping only the SMS Messaging funtion only? just like sending messages using Broadband USB Modem.
ive tried some call blocking and filtering function programs (magicall,smartsms, etch) but i preferred not to use them. all of them doesnt completely block call.
honestly, im just avoiding a call but i still want to send/recieve messages.
thanks

Call Blocking / Screening Program?

I've heard about the trick in the contacts screen to send the call to voicemail, but don't have that option on my phone.
Does anybody know of a good call blocking program that'll work? It's hard to believe that we don't have something like iBlackList...
You can block calls via the auto-reject (under call settings in the settings menu I believe).
Also, after someone calls you can select the number in the recent calls list and add them to the reject list.
download call filter from the market. It works very well.
Ah, the auto reject feature is nice. I'll also check out call filter

Google Voice Incoming Call Alerts - what do you use?

For those that use Google Voice as their primary number and one of the 3rd party apps for calls (Groove IP, Spare Phone, Talkatone, etc.) how do you get alerts for incoming calls on your watch? Specifically I've got an SW2 and use Spare Phone.
There seem to be plenty of apps that provide notifications for incoming calls to the dialer, but Spare Phone only provides a notification when a call is missed. I'd like to get the alert while the call is still ringing so that I can answer it. I'm assuming I may have to find some way to use Tasker to force a notification that will pop up on my watch, but I'm hoping there is already something out there.
TIA

With the recent integration of Google Voice into Hangouts the notification I was seeking is no longer needed as Hangouts sends a notification during incoming call.

[Q] trying to block unknown numbers

hi all,
I've been getting a lot of telemarketing calls. Unfortunately it's hard to block them all since they spoof the # they are calling from. But a big chunk of them have no number at all, they just show up as unknown.
So i went into settings, call, call reject,
I set call reject mode to 'reject calls on list' and in the rejection list i checked the option to reject all private numbers. That doesn't seem to have helped though since i just got another call from 'unknown'.
There are no numbers in the rejected number list. I've actually just been adding the spam numbers to a 'blocked' contact i created and selected the option to send all calls from that contact to voicemail.
Is there something else i have to do to block unknown callers?
This is on an LG-LS970 running stock rom android 4.1.2
