Hi, love the built in call blocking functions on my Galaxy Note 2 and Do Not Disturb on iOS 6. Looking for a similar app for my N4. What are you guys using, what do you recommend? Thanks!
I use EasyFilter. Handles call and message blocking nicely for me.

Root Call Blocker. You wont even know SMS or CALL is blocked. it will never ring. Just blocks it right from the start. Of coarse, you can still have it notify you with each block..
Thanks guys, I will give those a shot.
i would also suggest Root Call Blocker.. I have been using that for a while.

Can you set this up so that from like, midnight to 7am, it blocks all calls EXCEPT for those from specific people on your contact list?
If so that's pretty sweet.

Yes, it will do a call blocking schedule.. you would set up a particular black list, then can schedule what times it goes in affect, can even specify which days. or the pro version does any way.. But for me it was worth the money
Very worth it. its the only call blocker that actually works and doesn't ring. It let's the system know that the number is on your blacklist and doesn't allow it to ring..

I've got a question about Root call blocker. The miss calls don't end up in my normal call log, but instead go to a log inside of root call blocker. Is there a way to set it so that the missed calls show up in my normal dialer? Other than this, Root Call Blocker does everything I want it to. I'm so sick of work wasting my minutes every month. I need something like this that will block everything but a whitelist, but I really want the miss calls to show up in my call log, not have to check a second app for that.
After some more research and playing around, I don't think Root Call Blocker is capable of this. What I'm looking for is an app that will forward an incoming call to voicemail unless the number is in my contacts. That way I don't have to hear the phone ring, but it still shows up as a missed call in the log. I "might" be interested in having the phone ring for non-contacts if someone calls me repeatedly, because I'd know it was important.
The Play store has some apps that claim that they can do this, but reviews say that none of them do it well, and they require the user to keep the ringer & notifications muted. This means if you are doing something you will be interrupted for the duration of the phone ringing, and the phone will display the incoming call screen. It also means that you will get no notification sounds through the phone for any apps. This won't work at all.
Any suggestions for me? Root call blocker would be awesome if calls showed up in the dialer log. It would be perfect if you could set it to allow repeated calls through.

Tasker is amazing and you could get everything you want set up. Youtube has several tutorials on how to use tasker if you have trouble, it can be a little tricky at first but its one of the most useful apps out their.

I'll look into Tasker. I didn't think to even try it out. I'll do some YouTubing and searching around the web to see what I can figure out. I think it would take a few profiles to do what I want it to do:
1. Non Contacts are sent to Voicemail, missed call shows up in the call log, phone never rings.
2. If a non-contact calls me twice or more in 2 minutes, let the call go through to the phone.
3. Contacts calls work as normal.
4. Putting Ringtones & Notifications volume to mute should not be required.

Ive used two years not cant get enough.
Root Call Blocker. Fantastic app and works silently, blocking and not notifying you of texts or calls (can alter settings so that you do receive a notification if you prefer).

Call Master does everything I want except show the missed / blocked calls in the call log. I have to use its call log to see what I missed. That's not the end of the world for me though. So far Call Master does what I want the best.
Another big problem with voice call in 1.4 release. In I enable voice call on watch, I can't make voice call with Viber, because sound always goes through watch. Only i can't change to phone loud speaker, but not for ear-speaker. I don't know does other app's like skype has same problem, but I think can.

I'm not sure if it's the same thing but what I find to be frustrating is with the gear 2 I could go back and forth. But with this it's one or the other. If I initiate the call with the watch it disconnects the bluetooth call audio on my phone and then I have to manually reconnect them. but if I do this I can't have the watch answer an incoming call (when I answer using the watch it is picked up on the phone only)'
I guess what I'm saying is that with the gear 2 I can have bluetooth call audio connected to both the watch and the phone at the same time (maybe because watch and phone were both samsung). With this bluetooth audio can connect to only one device at a time..

Hi, could anyone that uses pushbullet check if they are getting the incoming call notification on their pc? I tried enabling notifications for all apps in the pushbullet settings, tried turning off skip silent notifications and even tried reinstalling the app.
All other notifications are working for sms, whatsapp, etc. But incoming calls aren't.
Also on a side note, even teslaunread doesn't show a notification bubble on the phone app for missed calls whereas it works on the messages app and whatsapp.
Same issue for me with pushbullet. It works with incoming sms or whatsapp, but not with incoming call.
Just see that:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PushBullet/comments/77d6rc/no_incoming_call_notifications/
Same problem too with notification led: don't work on missed call. Ok with missed messages.
Same issue on OnePlus 5t
Same problem here on Oneplus 5t. have tried disabling silent notification on the mobile app and also enabled end-to-end encryption. No luck. All other notifications come through except incoming calls and missed calls
Try disabling the battery optimization in system settings for the apps you are having notification issues with. That always fixed the problem for me.
Hello guys,
I'm looking to have a call blocker similar to Root Call Blocker but for not rooted devices.
Actually, i'm looking to have an option of blocking calls with "Continue Ringing, OR Mute"
You can use Tasker to block/mute incoming callers that's not in your contacts. I have been doing that for several years now, except I have it to accept the call, wait 1 second and then hang up. Doing it this way keeps callers from leaving voice mail.

Thanks, this can help. But i dont want to have caller screen if caller is not in my contacts.
But your trick will for now, I will share if i find something i'm looking for.
On my Verizon S20, recently incoming calls are not ringing and/or not displaying on my phone. I'll see missed calls with the phone right in front of me. Or I'll hear it ringing, but it stays on the Always-On display without showing the call screen to accept or decline or even who is calling. I'm also not hearing text messages either. Any ideas?

Verizon tech support had me go and reset the phone settings and it resolved the issues. The only pain was going back and redoing ring and notification tones, always on display, and a few other settings.
