Need a program to block calls. Telemarketers, debt collectors, annoying ex's etc. Anything like that for the Android? The send to voice mail feature causes them to just leave me voice mail.

I have two numbers I need to block from incoming calls and send directly to voicemail. If I block in the default "People" app will it do this or do I need an app for this (no pun intended). I just need to know if the default people blocking will send a call to voicemail instead of ringing? Will it also block text msgs if blocked in People? I would test this out myself but unfortunately that's not an option. I only have one phone here, my cell, so I can't test from another number here at home.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am developing a call blocking application for android. What I've achieved so far is that my application gets informed whenever there is some incoming call. Now i want my application to handle the incoming call instead of default android application. So for this, i am trying to kill the android phone process. Please tell me can i do so. If not, then how can i reject the incoming call.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have someone who's calls I wish to block. No I don't want to forward him to voice mail (even though I already have). I want the phone's caller ID to recognize the caller and simply bloc the call (I don't want the phone to ring and I don't want it to accept any voice mails from this guy). I know google voice has this feature, but I don't want to activate the single number version of GV (I'm not ready to have only one number. I read a similar thread that was posted here some time ago, but there were no definitive answers on it: http://androidforums.com/support/6077-caller-id-based-blocking-call-forwarding.html. I was wondering if anyone was aware of any apps that could be used to block a specific incoming number, which could be installed without having to root the phone.

I've been hunting for a solution for days and can't find an answer. I've got an application where I need to place multiple calls in a row. I can invoke the dialer just fine and it starts calling the number. The problem is that after the call is over the call log comes up. I don't want the call log to come up. I want the dialer to return to my application after the call is over. How can I do this?

But the problem with this is that it uses the inclusive mins from your mobile. Are there any apps that gives cheap rates and uses 3g/WiFi to make the calls?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am developing a recorder application. It works fine but when phone call comes it records only one way conversation but the caller voice is not recorded. I found audio sources as
recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.DEFAULT);
Or
recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
How can I enable my application to record phone call ( Both conversation).
Does anyone know of an app that can record phone calls to certain numbers (where the phone numbers to record can be in the app). I need this for times I ring customer service and they tell me something, then deny saying it later on and ask me to provide proof (that they damn well know I don't have).
I did have a manual call recorder but I kept forgetting to record the calls, especially at times I really should have. Also preferably one that doesn't make a beep in the call, but not absolutely essential. If there is no app available as I explained, could someone please tell me an app that automatically records every call.
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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedThese are our only phones and they stay on the night stand while we sleep. With the BB there were sound profiles you could easily select and the most useful one was "calls only". You select that and all of your notifications go silent except for incoming calls which would ring. This was perfect for switching on right before bed.
This is more of an issue for my wife because she's usually on call 24/7 so it's important to wake up or hear incoming calls overnight so vibrate mode isn't going to cut it. But at the same time, she has various notifications for email and messages and all of that so it's incredibly tedious to have to manually tweak all of those each night before bed and then turn them back on. So, at the very least is there an app or a way to easily switch the phone into a phone call notification only mode? A full blown sound profile app would be great too, but just being able to easily turn all notifications silent but the ringer with a few taps on the screen would be huge.
I am looking for an application that will send my calls directly to voicemail with no ring in between. I still want to be able to send and receive texts. I am trying to simulate my phone being turned off. If the caller hears even one ring, it will be assumed I am hitting ignore. Does such an application exist?

View 17 Replies View RelatedI'm launching an IntentService using startActivity from inside the onClickListener of a button. startActivity returns immediately. No blocking there. But the button stays "pressed" until the IntentService finishes its work. In addition, the screen does not respond to rotation while the IntentService thread is running. I can see that it's a separate thread in the debugger but the UI seems to be coupled to it. As soon as the IntentService thread finishes, the UI is unblocked. Any idea how I can prevent this and let the UI continue?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOn the market, there's an application called App Protector, which seems to effectively block the launching of configured activities until a password is correctly provided. By default, it blocks access to itself (not very interesting), Settings, and a few others. I wrote my own app to launch settings (rather than doing so through the home screen) and App Protector continued to do the job it claims to do.
When an activity that is protected is started, App Protector's password input activity is shown instead. Once the correct password is provided, the activity that was started comes to the front.
First -- does anyone know how this app is able to get between the rest of the system and the activities it protects? I would like to do something along these lines in my own application as well. Perhaps this app is receiving a broadcast about other activities coming to the foreground, and when the foreground activity is protected, it forces itself to the foreground?
Second -- does anyone know how well this technique will stand up to attack? Are there other ways to circumvent, where start Activity(...) fails to? It seems that one could use adb to un install it, thus removing its protection easily, but if I pursue my plans here, the app will be a part of a device's firmware (which, I assume, offers some protection against its apps being installed?)
I'm trying to use the Mail client on my Hero to send emails, but it seems that Three is blocking port 25. I've asked my hosting company if they can allow me to use port 587, but in the meantime, does anybody know of how else I can send email from my Hero?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a API for intercepting and blocking a call? What I want to do is to create app that autometically detect incoming call and based on the caller it either alert the user or don's alert the user. Like, if the number is stored in the phone book then alert the user other wise just send a message to the caller that the person is busy.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an Activity that implements a Gesture Detector to catch the user fling input for navigation to other screens. That was working fine - but - I recently updated a class that derives from my BaseActivity to add an onClick function and now that click event seems to block the onFling from being hit. The onClick is tied to a TextView area (in a LinearLayout) I have on my screen. The resultsClick method is wired to the TextView using its onClick property in the XML layout.
I've tried changing the return values in onSingleTapUp and onDown without luck. I've also tried adding log statements to all the functions below as well. None of them fire when I fling in the TextView area but they do on other areas of the screen.
Maybe I am using the wrong search terms, but I couldn't seem to find an example that addressed this - yet I'm sure this problem has been solved before.
CODE:.........................
I came across this in the marketplace. It basically lights up your screen on and off when you have a missed call or text. You have to option to set the frequency your screen flashes to notify you (every 5, 10 seconds, etc) and for how long this goes on (1 hour, 2 hours, etc) Gonna try it out. Not sure if it's a battery drainer or not, just trying it out myself.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI would like not to read the messages from some preselected numbers. Some person is annoying me (as it always happens in life), and I dislike receiving stupid and incongruous messages from that person. How could I achieve this? I found apps for blocking calls, mostly for WM, but I here look a tool for my Android, and, moreover, for messages. (A call blocker would be nice too, though, but I did not find one, even by looking in older posts in this forum.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'd love to prevent hardware buttons from working while user runs my app. Perfectly all of them, but any number would help :) I am not sure it's doable but maybe I miss something, hence my question. For those wondering - "why?" - we got an app that does full screen colorful animation and users often run it and hand the phone to their babies as they can stare at it for hours :) but the problem is, kids accidentally press hardware buttons (usually camera trigger, but also Home or Search - depending on the device model). I'd love to add the option to block all keys beside one which can hardly be pressed accidentally.
