Android :: How To Block Calls
Jul 5, 2009
I want to block calls from few numbers, for that I want to write a app of my own. So what are the APIs which I should be using? Basically I want to get notified when a call comes, i want to compare numbers if it is what i want to block, i want to cut the call or mute it or if possible mute it and record it.

my VoiP-client would like to block all incoming calls to the phone while my own call is taking place. Is it possible to do this somehow?

I keep getting 'unknown' caller with no number keeps phoning everyday. But when I answer there is no reply. I don't want a block all unknown calls as some are friends. I was wondering if there is a application which stops callers hiding their number?

I'm trying to write an application where I can manipulate the phone (blocking, forwarding, etc). I know there are probably apps that have this functionality, but I'm doing this for work. I've been searching for a long time for a way to deal with the phone on Android and I haven't seen anything that works.

I have a ListView with an adapter attached. In the individual list items are placed views with widgets that continually update themselves within the list. Everything works well except for this case: Touch the list and start scrolling it just before the longTouch event would be thrown. Then lift your finger from the ListView. At this point the widget views in the ListView no longer receive onDraw events in response to the invalidate calls that continue to be made on the ListView. It is like the ListView starting blocking the invalidate calls during the scroll and forgot to re-allow them when the scrolling stopped. If I touch and scroll with out holding or scroll with a fling this does not happen. The ListView will start allowing the onDraw events back through if you touch anywhere in the list. Any ideas on how to help the ListView not block those onDraw calls?

I use my EVO 4G for business and my number is posted on my business website. Unfortunately, I get numerous calls, often with recorded messages, from people trying to sell me something for which I am not interested. On my old, non-HTC phone I would just add the unwanted incoming number to a contact called ?Delete? and set the ring for that contact to silent. The EVO 4G does not permit dozens of numbers to be added to a single number. If anyone has a better solution to tag a number as unwanted and not ring I would love to hear about it.

I have an ex that keeps calling me. I blocked his # in my address book to go to voicemail, now he calls me from random #'s and its getting really annoying. I don't want to keep my phone shut off all the time. I called tmo and a really nice tech advised me to look for group app that will help, I am looking for an app that will let me block all calls except for my contacts or certain #'s I want the calls coming in.

i have tried nearly ever single application on the market that claims to block private numbers but it none of them work for me... Idk if its because of the Sprint service or the applications just dont work. I know GBlocker blocks the calls. But it dont block the texts, or prevent it from going to voicemail. Nor does it block private calls. There was this other one I had that blocked calls too but same thing with GBlocker. What i dont understand is that if you choose the option "BLOCK ALL CALLS" it will then block private calls. But the option to just block the private calls fails to work. Is there anything out there that actually works? I have considered buying extreme blocker for $5 but whats the point if it might not work? When blocked numbers call, i dont want their voicemails. Nor do I wanna know their calling.

I am thinking of getting the Epic. But does sprint let you block calls from specific numbers? This is very important to have. If Sprint doesn't, which of the other galaxy S providers allow blocking?

Has anyone found any good call blockers to prevent unknown callers from junking up your voicemail? I've heard about GBlock and aFirewall but they're not complete solutions. looking for something that shuts down an unwanted caller with NO voicemail option. Even better - an app where you put in the numbers you wish to accept and have anyone else who calls in get rejected instead of having to enter numbers you want to have blocked.

Not sure if this is technically the "silent bug" but calls do not even show up on the phone, they just appear as "missed call from...." no noise no other notification. I restarted phone but it did it again right away. Phone does show the 50% bug in battery info.

Recently some jackholes have started spamming me texts with horoscope/dating/whatever ads. They send like 4 at a time about twice a day and I'm sick of it.
I saw a few market apps that claim to block sms/calls. Reviews on all were mixed good & bad. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with any or had a suggestion for an app to stop this madness.
Also curious if anyone knows how they actually block. Basically I want to know if I just don't get a notification, or it just doesn't show in messaging app/handcent, or if it really gets blocked - as in not actually sent to me and does not charge me for a text.
If all they do is stop the notification I can just use settings profiles for that. But I'd really like to not have them be charged to me. I am on a 250/month plan and might risk going over at the rate they're being sent.

Is there anyway to make VoIP calls or Skype Out calls on the EVO? I am switching from the iPhone 3GS and am going out of the country on vacation in a month and I got used to making Skype Out calls over WiFi when out of the country.

having problems receiving calls. When I call the phone from another line, nothing happens except its logged as a missed call. The screen doesnt light up and no options for receiving calls. This happened before I installed Google voice. I disabled Google voice and still no joy. Everything else works. I can make calls, browse over WiFi and 3G.

I have to process some events given by a broadcast receiver. As kindly suggested by Mark M. a week ago, I am trying to send the intent to an intentservice in order to pass the data to be processed to another thread.
Looking at the doc, I can read abot onHandleIntent: "Only one Intent is processed at a time, but the processing happens on a worker thread that runs independently from other application logic. So, if this code takes a long time, it will hold up other requests to the same IntentService, but it will not hold up anything else.
What does it mean? Will the intents be queued and then processed one by one, or does it mean that the startService will block if the intentService is busy processing a previous intent?
And more (this is just my curiosity): What is the point in having a onStartCommand method in IntentService if the Intents must be processed in "onHandleIntent"?

We need to block ALL numbers incoming and outgoing (calls and texts) from a cell phone (of a teenager) with the exception of a few numbers. All applications we have researched block only certain numbers where we need to allow only a few telephone numbers to text or call incoming or outgoing from this cell phone.
