Hi guys, Im the dev of Root Call Blocker, a powerful blocking solution. There have been a few reports of people experiencing issues with the data connection on the S3, which i dont have.
Could someone please let me know if this is indeed the case?
If you do find an issue please follow this procedure:
- as soon as you spot the radio without a data connection (not after a call) send logs through the "Write to us" item in Settings
- once youve sent the report, try using the Debugging tools found in settings
- if the tools do not help, please send another report - this will still help me track issues
Thanks in advance, PR after the break

I don't use this app, but your other one, Call Master, instead. On it I had to enable the slow radio start (something like that) when I was using anything other than a Samsung rom. I emphasize Samsung here because I don't use Call Master on a Samsung rom since it has its own call reject built in.

Indeed. But Call Master is not just for blocking calls, its for MANAGING CALLS, SMS and MMS. The people who need it understand its value and power.
RCB can be used that way too, to some extent.
I was using this app on this phone and the HTC thunderbolt I had to block my ex girlfriends calls and texts. I would still get texts occasionally and would have calls go through. I'm not trying to bash the app because I liked it over the other few that I used but their interfaces were crap and most didn't even let me have the pick up hangup feature. I stopped using it about 2 weeks ago so I don't know if there have been any updates since then. I know you said people were having trouble on the same but I was also using it with the thunderbolt and having the same issues. If there is a way I can help then by all means let me pm and let me know because I would definitely like to use this app again. I'll reinstall it and see what I can come up with.

What is your order number? There is just no way it could let some calls through and block others because the app completely replaces the telephony service.
The issue you describe occurs on pirated copies.
Lets just check:
- you are not blocking its access to the net via a security app
- you have it set to start on boot
- you have only one profile
As i understand, this problem occurred on a different phone? And it works fine now on the s3?

Been using RCB since my Cappy. Since then i have had it on my 9100, Note, Gnex.
Been working fine on my CM10-Jellybro SGS3 ATT.
Wish for one thing though, would like to be able to long press the number in my call log and have it added to the black list. That's one thing I miss from running stock TW. (The ability to send number to reject )

Not possible im afraid. That sort of thing must be built into the framework. Other apps use a pop-up after every call, but i think thats just crap so itll never happen that way in CM or RCB.

Interesting how on some cm10 builds it works fine, others not.

Fixed issue that lead to intermittent blocking on JB and CM10
Would love to see the block from call log feature described above!
Been using RCB for a couple of months now. It does a great job.
Thanks, however, as I've already said blocking from the call log is impossible.

OK guys, some of you know our work. I am going to the states for their capitalist xmas holidays and will buy one of these silly plastic phones again to check for issues. But before then, we need some feedback on our existing apps. Most importantly Root Call Blocker and Call Master.
Root Call Blocker - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13213850
Market - https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta&feature=search_result
This is the basic call blocker we make. Uses the same daemon but is for noob users. If you are not a customer, you can approximate full functionality through Google Contact Groups. Use the online contact manager to create your group if you down own the full version.
Call Master: - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291587

CM is our professional-grade call management app. Its in beta at the moment, so you dont have to perform any craziness for the testing. Just download from the market and get with the program.
Please test the apps thoroughly - this means clicking on everything and then, if you have issues or suggestions, sending logs with detailed descriptions of your issue through the "Write to us" dialog.
Thanks guys. I know many of you will be devs, so hopefully you are willing to help others. On that note, if you need any help, i am always willing to offer mutual assistance
Call Master
This is what I've tested so far: Green Led illuminates when an action is met
Tested standard blocking by adding a specific number: Good
Tested all wildcard entries (455*, ##455*, etc): Good
Tested unknown/restricted numbers: Good
Tested Not in Contacts: Good
Gate Keeper (nice feature): Not working
I tried everything on this one. Had set under uknown numbers, 1 min interval, 2 calls. Did not completely understand the interval setting so I tried both possible situations (2 calls with in 1 min and 2 calls with a 1 min lapse). Also tried with 3 calls/5 min interval. Could not get it to allow calls with gate keeper.
Log sent
Schedules: Works (Kinda)
When a set time frame is set for a profile, It will block properly. Once outside of the time schedule, it still continues to block.
Log sent
Thanks - but did you include descriptions in these logs you sent?
Also, schedules will keep using the last profile in the cue, that is not a bug.

yes i included descriptions
Yep, i see it now. Its an error all right - the daemon seems to be going down when gatekeeper is enabled.
I am going to the states on sunday so i will get the gn and hopefully fix the issue first thing after xmas, around the 27th.
Thanks very much for the help!
By the way, i tried to thank your post, but apparently im limited to 5 thanks a day. What a joke, ill have to take this up with the rd committee
no problem
I see you have the program in trial phase/full version now...copy of full version maybe
I've been using the call blocker for a few days and so far its working great. I tested a few of the settings and no problems. I do have a couple suggestions
I have people that I have blocked because I don't ever want to talk to them again.
-maybe an option to not keep a log in the app of blocked messages/calls because i still feel like i have to go in and check it all the time so an option to not save the history in the app would be nice. right now i had a friend set the password and not tell me it. so far I cannot find a call blocker app on the market which you can opt out of keeping your blocked history in the app.
-also the interface for setting profiles and exceptions took me a while to figure out as it was confusing for me. but that could just be me.
- lastly a setting to automatically reply to a blocked sms and not just calls. i didn't see an option for that maybe i missed it? I use "Your number has been blocked (automated message)" and would like it to say that to blocked texts also.
anyway, thank you for the great app! major stress reliever

Hi. If you are talking about CM, both of your suggestions are already there.
You can stop people in a list from being logged entirely by unticking "Log" in the Blocking action Settings you have added to that list. RCB also supports this.
Also, both apps apply the auto-reply function to contacts, which mean that both calls and sms will be replied to. In RCB this can only be done through Global or Exception settings.
ah great thank you! Somehow I missed that, I still cant find where to auto-reply to SMS. I only see the box for "Enable SMS auto-replies for blocked calls" i tested and it works but only for calls, if i add someone to my blocked exceptions the only options are default, block, block&save, or don't block.
i am using the paid version of Root Call Blocker
Sorry i dont know if this thread is purely for testing and reporting bugs, i dont mean to hijack. If there is a different place to ask these questions I will do so there.
The option is for both! How is the new update?
Just purchased a license for Call Master -- looking good!
Thanks, please leave a review on the market if you like it. Just click the little star icon
So, have your issues been fixed?
Any issues to report with 1.2?
Working perfect here - one issue when restoring app from a new rom flash - quickly moved to restored Root Call Blocker and tested to find not working properly - uninstalled and downloaded again seemed to fix it - guess something messed with root so manually adding to su may have fixed without the uninstall - first class and best tried
Thank you!
Regarding restoring. Yep, this is generally an issue with superuser. Just go into su and forget rcb, then go into rcb and restart the ril or telephony so it prompts for su rights again.

All,
No credit here- I just wanted to let all of those looking for Visual Voice Mail for CM10 or other AOSP roms I have tested this on L710 SGS3 for Sprint and it does work. I tried it on CM10 nightly 8/20.
http://epicaokp.blogspot.com/2012/05/aokpcm9-fixed-sprint-visual-voicemail.html
I didnt find a thread on this so sorry if its already out there. just dwnload the Zip and flash in CWM. Some say it doesnt work in other recoveries such as TWRP. I used CWM.
you can hit thanks if you want but I did not make this... I just braved it and reported it. VVM is very important to me. Only reason to keep sprint.
enjoy
Wow, this is one of the main reasons why I stayed away from CM rom in the past. I can't live without VVM... can't stand wasting 20mins sifting thru audio voicemails with a pen and paper.
Will it update to the new version or are we stuck with the version that gets flashed? VVM just had an update in the past few weeks, i think i'm on the latest which is 5.3.0.32.
I had visual voice mail with cm10 by just making a titanium backup of it from a rom that had it, then restoring when I ran cm10.

You never had to. Google voice provides a better voicemail if you ask me. And to the folks that dont like the deep integration, you can break the tie-in and just use it for the voicemail.
But yeah... VVM is good too. I just have fewer issues with google voice.

No offense but, Google voice is crap IMO. Or at least it was crap a year ago. That's what I tried to use when I was on cm7 on the epic. I hated it. Vvm is well worth the 2$ a month to me. I run a business with this phone, it's gotta be reliable. Like I said it's been a year since I last tried it, but the impression it left was a disaster to my business for an entire week.

You should give Google Voice another try. Make sure you set it up from a PC.
I also run a busniess from my phone and the option for different contacts to hear a different voicemail greeting is worth the price of admission on its own.
I have my main voicemail greeting set up as my business name and then I have a different voicemail greetings for my personal contacts.
I can login to any PC and retrieve my voice mail, no phone needed. I'm not sure if Sprint VVM does that or not.
I honestly would not be able to run my business without Google Voice.

Wow guys... Ok heres the skinny. I did a TB but the backup was not there after CM10. IDK y im working on it.
#2 I tried installing .apk- didnt work, kept saying your acct cannot be verified. Thats because the supporting files are not in place in AOSP- this is the way it has been since AOSP, so idk what he's talking about.
# 3 yes it did update.
#4 Google voice is horrible- I have tried it multiple times I always get beeps in the middle of my calls and the transcriptions are terrible, best part of google voice is missed call notifications even when you didnt get the call.
Now This is a Sprint VVM thread please keep it that way and if you want to run your mouth about something else then go somewhere else. Also dont need info about other apps or whatever-
Contribute or just keep moving...
I wanted to thank ya'll for posting this. Great stuff.
Just some observations...
This is the second-to-latest Sprint Visual Voicemail application. It works well, is stable, and I love it on Paranoid Android 1.9.9
Just a note - if you're worried that upgrading to this will delete your current store of voice mail files, it will not. If all you're doing is *flashing* this on an already-rooted ROM using CMW 5.0+, you're going to be okay. I played around with it earlier today. No problems whatsoever, all stable, no SNAFUS. I don't know why some people have reported issues.
Hoppingfully yours,
--SLN
Does this give the weird text every time you get a voicemail like all the other CM's?
Cm flashers are always pushing Google voice, but I find it to be extremely inconvenient and complicated and the voice to text translations are horrible. VVM is the only way to fly in my opinion. I'm getting the 9016 text thing on freegs3 now, but it doesn't bother me. It's just another notification. I just delete the thread after a while. I've been flashing so much lately that the text notification actually caught a few messages while I was flashing.

This should be in themes and apps not development. Especially since you didn't make it. Plus there is already a thread on themes apps with I believe the same vvm.
I know you're trying to contribute but please post in the right place.

Yes i do still get the annoying texts.
Then maybe someone needs to work on the search function. I searched before posting so w/e dude. I pit it in development because you have to flash in recovery. This isn't just an apk

Incorrect. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PEOPLE PLEASE USE THE SEARCH feature built into the xda forums. These text messages have been around since CM6, its how AOSP works. The only way to remove them is use chompsms, gosms, or something similar to block the 9016 text messages.
There is an APK in the Apps and Themes section here, install that, reboot to recovery, fix permissions, reboot phone, open vvm app, send 25 second message to [email protected] and it will provision and work. I have never had a single problem getting VVM to work since CM6 following these steps.
I am planning on flashing the new Synergy Rom for Galaxy s3, I see it is available for all carriers, but there is no dedicated thread for it on the sprint part, I see it is on the Verizon threat and it says works on all carriers....is there any other files I need to flash along with the main zip to make it work for sprint, or is that included all in that one zip.
source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792499
It's all included... some reports say that with Sprint you need to flash, let it try to boot (it won't boot) and then dirty flash over top of it again and it should boot up

Phone not yet activated message Sprint S3
Just flashed the synergy ROM, and I could not get the phone to work. I re-flashed it several times, and tried all of the options in the setup before flashing. The data worked fine. The phone would dial Sprint customer svc for a second, and then say phone not yet activated. I had CM 10.1 on there, but that was not for me. I wish this would have worked, but I suspect someone here knows the fix. Maybe a bad download? It took 1.5 hours over slow hotel internet.

I've noticed this as well. I didn't think it would matter at all though. Everything works GREAT that I tried. BUT I found out after using it all day today, that it has a flaw with sending and receiving MMS... For me anyways. I can get on my 3G connection just fine and it pulls up websites, sends and receives emails. The phone also calls out just fine and sends and receives SMS no problem. Everything works great except for the MMS (be it pictures or an audio recording)
I've tried - Updating profile - didn't work
- switching my data connection from LTE/CDMA to just cdma.
- Wiping internal SD card (not just data/cache but the whole SD card VIA cwm) and reflash rom
- I don't know what else to try
Anyone have this problem? Anyone know what I may do to resolve it?
I've looked around and I got to the point where I entered in a special code which would reboot the phone and activate it. Too bad it didn't work and I had to restore the stock rom for it to do that process (Hope it doesn't charge me an activation fee)
Thanks so much for any input! I like the liquid smooth rom I'm on right now, but man I love the camera too much on the touchwiz roms and so far it seems like this synergy not only gives me the speed of aosp but the look of touchwiz and the note2 camera. Would be nice if i can get around this hurtle
Update on my above post
Just an update - I got the MMS to work by using GO SMS from the play store. I thought it was a long shot to install a different messaging app, but now I can both send and receive MMS! It still wont work through the normal messaging app (Sending MMS results in it acting like it went through, but never reaches its destination. Receiving MMS would constantly ask me to download it, then fail when I would click the download button.) But then when I go into this go sms app and try to download it, it works just fine, and sends just fine. The options in this app seem pretty awesome for a free app anyways so I'm actually kinda happy I had to find a workaround
It seems when I downloaded this app, that the messaging app would often forceclose after receiving a mms. To eliminate this, I just went in the messaging app and turned off notifications and auto retrieve MMS. no more force closes
Hope this helps anyone else who may be having this issue!
Have a great weekend!!!

Thanks for this info! This new Synergy ROM is very nice, and I had not noticed the mms issue until today. Mine actually rebooted a few times while the messaging apps fought it out. I think I have it sorted now. I am glad I continued to try getting Synergy installed.

The thread that you provide it, got me thinking allot and I'm afraid of restoring my phone to a backup I had made before installing Synergy Rom. Me thinking if I do something more I will end up having no service or phone number . I never seen this happen before

I guess my fear and guts were correct about my phone giving me a surprise ! Just restore my phone to my backup I made before installing Synergy Rom. Now knowing I can't activate my phone with stock rom =( Phone calls work, Sms seem to works when sending pictures and text. 4G is working but I can't activate my phone. Why? I'm going to start looking for info later on the day

Did you click the activate this device button under settings? That is completely not necessary.your phone its already activated otherwise you wouldn't even be able to make calls. The activate button is for when you first get the device it activates it on sprint's side

I upgraded from a Note 4 to the Verizon Samsung Note 7 today and have been unsuccessful in locating how to send contacts text messages to the spam folder - A feature that I used frequently on my previous phone. Does anyone have any idea where this feature could be? This is different than going into your contacts and blocking their phone calls. If this feature no longer exists, I will likely return the phone for a different one if I cannot find an app to send these texts to without replacing the default messaging app. Any help or ideas on this would be appreciated, thanks!
Verizon has taken that feature away and added their own. They want you to go on my Verizon add block it through there.
Lame huh.
I use an app in the play store called Hiya. An article I read said that White Pages and Hiya merged or WP bought the later and that Samsung was using them. I know it can integrate with messages but I haven't enabled it yet. So far this morning it rejected 5 calls, three were telemarketers or suspected and two were the IRS scam. It flashes for a brief second on the phone then shows "Call Rejected - Suspected Telemarketer", or whatever the reason for rejection. Then it allows you to view comments on the number or add comments of your own. It's pretty cool, although I sometimes miss answering with my latest, "<insert business> Pizza, Would you like to start with our new carry out special?". That or "Judges Chambers, bailiff...", always gets a quick hangup. Lol
Truecaller app is awesome.. I've been using it a long time.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
Not sure where to put this, so I apologize if I'm in the wrong area here.
I can't find anything regarding this issue on XDA. I feel like it has probably been addressed, but where, I don't know.
Since to Google Voice update, myself and others are not able to make outgoing calls using GV. This seems unique to HTC devices, M8, M9, 10. Verizon users get a "Network busy message" when dialing out. Sprint users, like myself, are getting "your number can not be completed as dialed".
Some Verizon users have been able to fix the issue by enabling or disabling advanced calling. As Sprint users, we do not have this option. Another Verizon user (M8 NuSense) was able to fix the issue by clearing data in the phone app.
This issue seems to be that with the update, GV is appending +1 to the outgoing call. When rolling back to the previous version, all is well again. This isn't a ROM specific issue, but I'm on Leedroids latest.
Google Voice help forums have been zero help to us. Someone suggested the downgrade and our issue was marked as solved. Ha, far from.
Is anyone here using the upgraded GV app? Is this a known issue? I don't suppose there is a current fix, so if nothing else, I am hoping to spread awareness. But like I said, I'm sure it's been addressed, I just can not find it. Maybe someone can just point me to the correct thread?
Thanks guys.

I haven't personally tried or used this feature but if you can fix it by rolling back then why not do just that?
There may be an edit that can be made for the newer version to reflect the older version but I'm assuming you would be better reverting back to the old version for an easier solution.
Stop updates from going automatically. I do this anyway, nothing ceases to function.
Sorry this doesn't fix the actual issue but it's a sold workaround unless there's a reason for not wanting to revert back?

Rolling back is my current workaround, and I've disabled updates. As one who despises Hangouts, and greatly values GV, when the update dropped I was thrilled. The revamped UI is Also-ish and blows Hangouts UI out of the water. I'd much prefer to send SMS via the new GV app vs Hangouts. GV is my primary number and having to rely on Hangouts to send GV SMS hasn't been reliable. Half the time it won't notify my of new messages unless I completely back out of the app. I find myself double checking my phone often to make sure I've closed out the Hangouts.
I would imagine many users here are well aware and make use of the benefits of GV, so more than anything I wanted to bring attention to the issue, not so much expecting to find an answer. Also curious to see if anyone has NOT run into the issue.

Don't use GV for anything other than searching myself, unlimited texts and calls from my provider so i have no need?
What about one of the modders like team black out? They may have a modded version of the newer ones? They've got a thread on XDA (just search for it)
I use their google app and pixel launcher to have it all blacked out.
Sorry can't be of more help mate

Yes, your assumption is correct. GV app > make all calls using GV. That is what is not working for me with the update. Is it working for you?

Afaik I can't use it here anyway.

I use it simply because I can send SMS from all devices, and I can switch providers and not care about my number. Just moved across country, went with a new provider (unlimited everything), and could care less what number they assigned me. I don't even know it lol
*AND visual voicemail

Haha Honestly, no. Not used to someone trying to be so helpful.
I found the issue to be that the ROM I was on, while it supported Sprint, carrier specific settings have not been implemented. I found this out while searching how to do a profile update. To do so, I had to flash a carrier specific ROM. Once I did that, GV worked, as well as profile update. Looks like the next update to Leedroid is slated to have these options.
Keeping my eye on that linked thread, though. I themed GV would be sweet. Thanx buddy.

One last question, unrelated, is TWRP currently able to do nandroids? I've read mixed things regarding the encrypted data partition on the 10.
