After the most recent updates, all of my families S22U can no longer use the "Quick Decline" option when rejecting any phone call.
If you are unfamiliar with "Quick Decline" it allows you to send a quick text message to those calling you with a either a predefined or custom text message.
I love using this to quickly reject calls from numbers I don't know, telling them to identify themselves first via text before I'll answer. Also to tell people that I'll call them back.
At first I thought the option had dissappeared but its still there and turned on. I see it in my call settings, even my custom text decline.
I just cannot find the option to turn it on for ALL calls.
What I have noticed is that if the person calling is in my contacts list, the "Quick Decline" option presents itself. If the person calling is not in my contacts, then I cannot use the option. Also after more testing last night I discovered that if a person is in my contacts list but blocks there number as a private number the option is no longer present to use the "Quick Decline".

Okay, we have times when we want to hide our caller's ID, we don't want our number to be noticed by the call receiving party! Yet it is so much to go through, first hitting the phone button, clicking the options, selecting caller ID, hitting the get settings, and now select provide my caller ID to "NO ONE". Took me like forever, and now I have to select the person's number from the phone book, if I still remember who I was trying to call! LOL
So I know there got to be a way!, Create a Caller ID's toggle, hit it to show or hide caller ID, simply and then select the number you want to dial and you can hide your caller ID.
Anything like that? I know I used to have the simmon's phone back in the days, when I needed to hide a caller's ID, I would just hold the 8 key and it would hide the caller's ID. Now the toggle was assigned to the 8# key, but I think if that is too much to do, why not just have a toggle, just as we have it for the bluetooth or other phone's options.
Is it possible?
Dial *67 and your # not a good enough work around? You can always add *67 to specific #'s you call regularly to not see your callerid.
there is also an option to hide your # when calling someone who is not in your address book
hi, at least in europe you can use this codes to switch the 'CLIR' function of your mobile:
*31# submits your number to the called party on for all calls.
#31# submits your number to the called party off for all calls.
*#31# show the current 'CLIR' state
*31#number to call submits your number to the called party on only for the next call.
#31#number to call submits your number to the called party off only for the next call.
maybe this works for your network also.
Thanks, *67 could be an easy way...but supposed you have a phone number on your PhoneBOOK that just has to be blocked once? And you are driving? and you don't have a pen...some people here are just stupid...I already know that...I am looking for a CALLER ID TOGGLE, if you don't know anything just don't be smart and post anything.
I tried a few apps on the market but when I ring my Hero from a number which is not in my contact list it still rings. I can set any contact to go straight to voice mail so it seems logical that an app could be developed to do the same for any numbers not on contact list.
Anyone knows of such app which actually does it for our hero?
Anyone? There has to be some one who knows
I use CallFilter. It works pretty well, sometimes it'll ring one time real fast, then go to VM. Only probably I've found is that if I'm on the phone already, it cuts off my call.
Yeah, I tried it but unfortunately it still rings for calls which show a number. It only works if the call has no name in contacts or unpublished number.
So the idea is really to just send anyone to voice mail if they are not in your contacts. I figured that if they want to contact me they'll leave a message and if I like to talk to them next time I'll add their number to my contacts.
What ROM are you using? If it's AOSP you can long press the number in your call log and in the menu that pulls up you'll see an option to add it to blacklist but that requires missing/receiving a call from it first otherwise I've used call filter from the market in the past which seemed to work well
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
if you want the specifics, i am not the man that would be able to tell you. but i would think this is something tasker is capable of handling.
I'm using stock 2.1 with root and some mods.
Actually, the stock 2.1 comes with an option to send to voice mail for any contact. So what you can do is make a group and put all the numbers which annoy you with this option.
The problem with ALL apps which block is that they still either ring once or somehow silence and ignore the call. Either way the call still seems to come in on display. I'm not just talking about the notification but the front display. So it seems like all these apps deal with this in one way; they simply intercept it.
However, the feature which comes with stock 2.1 does this properly and only displays a missed call. The phone does not ring and the caller gets the voice mail immediately. So Sprint or Google did something else in how they handle this. It seems like there should be an option to just let it go straight to voice mail for any numbers not in the contact list or just let the damn thing ring
Still not able to find anything working properly for hero
Hey there!
I like to Streamlining my android system usage with least input required
Is there any apk or script that allow me to automatically making calls all my contact numbers without tediously always manually doing it what takes so much time, I would like option allowing it able to call each groups etc.
SO i can just pick up 40 contacts and It will keep calling each 40 numbers in linear order one by one, so it will make able to start another call from every time previous call is finished or not picked. and there is way to stop it of course then too.
scheduled phone calls by time
app on automatically calls all # in fashion of
contact1#1 call end then continue automatically to next line
contact1#2
contact2#1
contact3#1
...etc
I just like to call my friends and keep up with them, without constantly needing to manually select another contact and use my hands.
also I would like to have ability call randomly and endlessly to my contacts
-so hands-free way to automatically call to many contact

I want each message to be unique like, in first line i want to able to have each receiving person contact name
xx person contact name xx rest message same
5.
how can I take off "refreshing" pop up android messaging search
thanks.
What is this "Block calls from unidentified callers" option that I saw appear upon upgrade to Android 10 in the call/block settings menu under the native phone app? There is no description as to what unidentified means. Does it mean someone not in your contacts list? Calling via *67? something else? thanks! (and screenshot attached)
Google support is saying that it blocks anyone not in the contacts list. I remember way back they were considering an API that would allow selection of blocking pay phones, private numbers, not in contacts, etc, but there is really no technical details offered on exactly what this option does.
Edit: apparently they are wrong. I am getting SPAM calls as usual this AM from #s not in my contact list.
Edit2: Now Google is saying its a carrier option that the carrier has to implement and to contact them to find out what it means...
Trying to figure out whether this is normal behavior for the S22 Ultra, and if so, why is such an obvious flaw is not fixed?
Call comes in and the phone properly shows the Caller ID name, which is obviously super helpful. Once the call is logged in the Recents List, however, only the number shows and I no longer remember who the call came from, and have no way to get it. I believe the same is true for outgoing calls, where the Caller ID tech identifies the name of who you're calling once you dial the number, but again you're left with just the number and no name in the Recents List.
So why in the world wouldn't the phone be able to capture that name data and store it for future use without having to specifically save that number as a contact, and although I haven't tried to do this yet, would the name at least be saved then, or would I have to manually enter it all over again?
Unless i'm missing something, this Caller ID Name feature seems half baked at best. Sure, it's good to get that name when the call comes in, but it you're not around or if you need to know who had called a day earlier, you're completely out of luck!
