block some incoming calls???

Is there a way to block certain callers from incoming calls to your phone ???\
maybe buy a filter or software , that works with WM6 ????

Call Barring is available mainly through your service provider. There's a piece of software that "blocks" calls but I think it works differently. Probably, it still allows the caller to call you, just that the person will be ignored or sent to voicemail.
The only piece of software I could find is Novosec SmartFilter:

Try the demo to see if it works before you commit to anything. Hope this helps!

I have been using a software called Magicall. It works very well for me both in WM5 and WM6. Here is the link:

Try this one, it is free
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307178&highlight=call+firewall

I use this one

You have to buy it but it is an excellent program and value for money. It also blocks sms and links to your phone book too.

I use photocontacts. I does alot of things, like diferent ringtones and/or photos for each group or person. And it also has profiles where u can define what to do for every person or each group (ignore,hangup, mute, etc,etc)

Well thanks guys , I tried the free 1 first , but a had afew problems with it , so i then tried Magicall , and this works perfect , cheers

Also spb phone suite has black list for incoming calls. And it has a very good today plugin, with all the counters and profiles. In my opinion is one the best apps for a ppc phone.

unless you have a phone that needs a PIN code before starting up. SPB does not provide this. Therefore their profiles doen't work that good....they can switch OFF the phone but not switch ON!!

Quick questions concerning Schap's Rom

Evening guys and gals,
Just flashed my Imate Jasjam to Schap's wonderful Rom (lite) version and LOVING it, just had a few quick questions:
1. As an Australian resident, when people call from home lines/mobiles - the Caller ID is obviously setup for Americans - ie. (075) 582 3293, however here in Australia our Caller ID is setup to be (07) 5582 3293 for example. I couldn't for the life of me see where this could be changed, any help would be sweet.
2. Is there anyway to increase the length of Ringing when someone calls? Or is that simply up to your Telecommunications provider and when Message Bank kicks in?
Thanks,
EG04

1. Try changing the language under Settings/System/Regional Settings
2. That's up to the service provider.

Thanks for your prompt reply mate. In response to the change in Regional Settings, it was a good idea (and one I hadn't thought of) but after changing them, and applying a Soft Rest, still didn't change

I can change how long my phone rings before going to voicemail by going into
Start/Settings/Phone
Click the Services tab and highight 'Call Forwarding' then click 'get settings'
I change mine to the max 30seconds with AT&T. Default is 20sec

I LOVE u MrDSL - 1 problem down, mine was on 15 seconds which was RIDICULOUS with city noise and me dancing to the Ringtone .
Still can't figure out for the life of me how to switch to Australia Caller ID rules...

Wow! I didn't you know you could do this!! This is great! And it works on my Nokia E70 (Symbian) phone, as well. Thanks.

You could always force it to display however you want just by editing your contacts in Outlook. Instead of (041) 8888888 just change it to (04) 18888888 or you can take out the brackets altogether. And this isn't just Schap's. It's all ROMs... maybe not the Telstra ones though they're probably preconfigured for Australia.

Re your problem with caller ID format.
Don't know if any of this helps, but a couple of things I noted.
I use S2U2 as a screen saver/locker. One of the options in this program is to modify the format of the caller ID number. Only trouble is, the only options it gives are nothing (default), US format, and full international format. Not sure what it would do on your phone, but it might be worth a play.
You can modify HKLM/Security/ColdInit/Locale to 3081 (decimal) if it's not set already.
That may change back, however when you re-boot. (See this post).

call filter (muting)?

salut!
i'm seeking for soft for Windows Mobile 6 (HTC Touch HD), and there's a vast number of these, but i cannot find what i exactly need.
subject: filtering of incoming calls and sms
feature: only VIP calls and sms can come in (10-20 men), all other calls and sms must be muted(silenced) without hanging up the phone.
wish: soft must be started and stopped with ease.
problem: all software i inspected whether either hangs up the phone (unacceptable), or too commercial and heavy.
do you have any recomendations?

How about this option - use this app to assign to categories of contacts different sound files.
VipPimRingTone - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309837
Then use VIP category with a sound file and all others with an empty sound file.

i have two situations:
1)i'm ok. phone must accept all calls
2)i'm with girl A. phone must not ring when girl B calls whatever telephone she uses for that. VIP (boss, close friends, mom) should be able to call normally
i must switch between modes 1 and 2 regularly

Oh I see - sorry, the VIPpim thing is not good for your need.
Perhaps PPCProfiles might do it. Have a look here: http://www.modaco.com/content/ppcprofiles-pro/202004/ppcprofiles-pro/
I have not used it - I don't have a complicated love life !!
Good luck, D.

BlackList for HTC Touch HD - Please Help

Hello guy`s i need some help.
So im looking for some good Caller BlackList app that will work perfect on my HTC Touch HD
I was searching on the net and i already try few like MagiCall, Steelsoft Blaclist and etc they don`t work fine for me on the Blackstone and when i add some phone number to the Blacklist nothing heppand the number is able to call me anytime.
I need advice from peoples who know witch program i need!
Im looking for some good Blacklist Caller to be simple easy to use with no alot extras just when i put some number on the blacklist he to be really on theblacklist till i don`t move it from there!
And when this number try to call me always to give a busy signal or my phone is turned off something like this!
Thanks in advance
P.S I try befor few minutes the app that i found here called CallFirewall 1.4 and again the same im adding numbers to the BlackList and they are able to call me without a problem so this app don`t work for me too Please HELP

You must not close the apps after adding a a number... You MUST hide them... They must be always enabled to reject calls, otherwise apps dont work...
I use magicall and it works perfect...

I'm using No Calls.
A finger friendly call-blocking software which works great on the HD.

Me too, works fine and allows the creation of profiles and blocking calls without caller id (a must).

NoCalls seems great but one thing i couldn't do on it was block specific numbers without having the numbers in the contact list, any idea how or a program that can do that.

Thank you for the advise i already download No Calls v 1.0 and use it the problem i had is the program really work and block the selected contacts but didn`t block them immideately what i mean when this contact try to call me for few second he recive a free signal and after this the phone ignoring him and looks like someone calling me and i press the red button! so the question is here i need a smart fast software that for example if you are addet to my blacklist you to recive busy signal from the begining or something like this
because not have any point 1st to be free signal and after that busy i can do the same without to use any program just i need to press the red button!
I hope to understand me and give me some advice why this heppand and why the program don`t work fast
Thanks

I Found desigion so now i try again SteelSoft BlackList v 4.21 and it work perfect for me block the calls immidiately so the point is this that yesterday i install the app in my Storage Card and afer this she don`t wana block any calls etc.. today befor few minutes install the same app in my Phone memory and the program work like a charm!
So for peoples who have the same problem like me they can use this app and all will be fine!
When the banned contact or number try to call you will recive few second`s busy signal and will be ignored very fast nobody can suspect that you put him in the blacklist!
Perfect

I use Magicall on my HD. No problems at all. It's a great SMS/Call filter.

Hey guys i just recently purchase the HTC TOUCH PRO and im trying to figure out where and how to get the no call program. Thanks.

how are you? so what you are saying is that as soon as the person calls they received a busy signal and then their phone will receive whatever txt your phone is defaulted to send them. And also does their number come up at all?

+1 For Magicall (SMS, no signal, password, drop log, ....)
but not free

+1 for MagiCall, works fine for me on Dutty Holy Grail R0 ROM as well as on Stock one.

Mod edit: Post removed warez is against forum rules.

No Call is a fine-working app.

PLEASE the MOD to move this Thread to the Trash, the Thread is OLD and not actual.

phone book categories; divert to voice mail by category?

i use my TP2 for both personal and work, and its on 24/7, but i would like to automatically divert business calls(as defind in the caterogy section in outlook, when you hit edit contact - more)
ideally iwould like to be able to select a category and choose if i want ot divert that to voicemail
if it could also define it to auto divert the category based on day and time and if possible based on calender entry or defineable.
also if it could change my profile as well that would be amazing.
so does anyone know how i could go about doing this

I'd strongly recommend "Magicall" by Mobiion ( http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html )
It can definitely divert via Category; not sure if it can do it by the type of number (business; home) as I've not tried that yet

that is perfect (on the face of it, havnt tested it in the field as yet) i just want to block certain people during certian times, and they are stored ascertain categories.
i hope that the "hang up" option diverts to my voice mail,
and to be able to SMS them as "sorry im on holiday" text is just the iceing on the cake
thanks

Yes - that's exactly what 'hangup' does (same as pressing the red button on any other mobile.
I do think it's a little confusing as to what magicall has named the following operations:
Magicall 'Ignore' = Do nothing, other than mute the ringer
Magicall 'Hangup' = Divert Immediately to voicemail (i.e. 'do not disturb')
I use Magicall primarily for handling outgoing International and/or calls to mobiles. I have different international calling cards set up, and whenever I dial anything other than a US domestic number I get Magicall to change the outgoing number and use a calling card. Saves me $$$, and allows me to use different calling cards for different countries/types of call automatically.
I'm considering writing a small app that will allow me to set and/or toggle individual rules within Magicall for a period of time (I often want to just hit a 'do not disturb' button as I get called into an unscheduled meeting, diverting most calls to VM without actually turning off the phone or manually creating a meeting to say I'm busy)
As you hit the button it would allow you to specify a time period; if that was about to expire the phone would vibrate to alert you, if you did nothing the rule would be re-enabled). I've only been using Magicall for a couple of weeks, but I think this would be a very useful addon (and would work well - there's already a command line interface for external apps to control rules)
If anyone thinks that would be useful, let me know - not sure how many Magicall users there are around here! (I'm not associated with them - just a happy customer!)
