What's the best method to block those advertising phone numbers consistently calling you all the time? Is there any method with KitKat or does this need to be done with an app?
I use the app "Sanity", which can block, record, and do anything you want with callers and texts.

Doesn't it have by default an option on the call log to just ignore/block some numbers ?

I can't seem to make phonecalls with voice. No option to call outbound seems to be available. However incoming calls seem to work.
Also noticed it doesn't display the special call screen that voice uses.
Has anyone for this to work with miui 1.9.9 with tiamat kernel?
Thanks bros

Same here. Whether i choose google voice for all calls, or to ask on every call, it still comes through with my regular cell number. MIUI 1.9.16, Tiamat 1.1.2 kernel.
Don't you need the old version of google voice for all that to work? I thought they removed that feature due to people using it for free minutes. I still run the old version if anyone wants it

Figured it out guys. Disable 'third party access' under system>calls
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk
They did not remove that feature, they just fixed the way people were making free calls using the top 10 free callers on verizon and such. Also you can still make free calls if you set up a sip. Otherwise you are only hurting yourself running and older version
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
Not really. The new version runs much slower on my phone than the old one. It takes sometimes over 5 seconds for the app to open on my phone with the new version where the old one is instant for me. Also on the new one if i'm receiving a msg as i'm sending one, my sent msg will hang until I FC voice.
If you like the new one that's fine. I'll stick with my version until the new one works right for me.

Thanks a lot! That make Google Voice work for me in MIUI.
It's not under system though, it's Application > Call Settings
Then turn off "Third Part Access".
Thanks again
Can anyone recommend a call filter app that limits incoming and outgoing calls and texts to only phone contacts? Thanks
Extreme call blocker. Paid App but is great. My phone number was who knows who's number and everybody was calling me asking for other person. Can block Calls SMS MMS.

If your rooted & willing to pay, these apps are 2 very good options:
Call Master for Root Users

Root Call Blocker

Dose anyone know an app that will steal-prof my HOX ? I was using HTCSense.com with Desire HD but now it's not available anymore . I was thinking about something like send a SMS with a specific password the will lock the phone , display my contact info , turn GPS and Mobile Network/WiFi ON and delete my important data like contacts , photos , SMS , Accounts and the rest !
Avast Mobile allows you to do most of those sort of things by SMS
I use the paid version of Kaspersky. Apart from the anti-stealing features, it has excellent call blocking features. Of course, anti-virus is present.

Cerburus does alot of things like take pictures using the front facing camera, when the person who may have stole the phone trys to unlock it! Has huge list of features

Cerberus +1
One more vote for cerberus. I lost my hox in a cab and found it 40minutes after.
About call blocker, i think sense has this by default, or it is a feature of ARHD, because i see that option in mine.
Another vote for Cerberus, couldn't recommend it enough!
It's very well priced and it can work with multiple devices.
Assuming the phone is reset to factory defaults before changing sim etc...it can't be tracked?

If someone what's to steal your phone they will. No app will make it steal proof. Why don't you just encrypt it if your worried about the data.

Install Cerberus as a system app. Only way they can stop it being tracked is a full wipe and flashing a new rom. Are phone thieves that smart/knowledgeable?
technically you cant "steal proof" a phone, only track it down after its been stolen...
Just seen this thread and downloaded Cerberus straight away. What an amazing app. So many features all remotely accessed via your PC or SMS. Also love the fact that you can designate up to 3 trusted numbers (friends or family) to have messages sent to in the event of a SIM swap, and those numbers can also lock you device for you. £2.40 is nothing to pay for that amount of funcionality!
Is there a blacklist app that can work low level on blocking calls and sms?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Blacklist is ok, if your rooted root call blocker is great
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
The problem with blacklist is that it does not erase the call log. Do you think this problem will be solved if my phone is rooted?
Thanks
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Yea blacklist is "ok" root call blocker i believe has a setting to not log calls or sms. And blacklist usually rings like half a ring last time i used it, but it been a while. If your rooted go with root call blocker, the free one works great

Root call blocker is the best and it erases logs

avast antivirus has one built in
I'm using Call Guard. It has black and white list + option to delete call log and can also block SMS.
However it cannot erase the call log even if i set it.

u can try private SMS or shady SMS. Both blocks SMS n calls. N move them out from the normal SMS n call Logs.

Just root your device, install RootCallBlocker and search no further...
isn't the word 'Blacklist' banned cuz it sounds racist

Its possible but you are gonna have to talk to the devs of Whatsapp. I know you can receive sms in the "facebook messenger" app. I dont see why it would be any different for whatsapp
Maybe it could be added to Whatsapp Plus
