My own Call Filtering/Call Firewall - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I write a Call Filtering program. It works in most PPC 2003 and WM 5.0. Unlike some similar program sometimes doesn't work well, this is perfect!
It supports:
- Black/White List
- Block All Without SMS
- Block All With SMS
Feel free to try it.

Wow, that's really cool! Maybe you can add local voicemail / answering machine capabilities, you'd be the first

Thanks.
I also think that voicemail /answering machine is a good idea :idea: ! After all, SMS is limited in some situation.

I think this is a great tool.
I would be able to leave my phone on in the weekends (when I need loads of sleep ) and only a few (emergency numbers) would be able to contact me.
Wicked

Yes great !
I was waiting for this for long time ! Thanks !
Is there a way to know the CF status on the today screen ?
I like the local voicemail / answering machine capabilities too :wink:

Yes Great
Is it possible to have an Icon in the taskbar to say when the CF is on.

This tool is great. Fix a answering machine to and it would be great..
If you fix a answering it would be cool with like two functions on it so you can let the one who calls you decide if he wants to recive a sms with my mail adress on a sms if press #2 or something =D

I've got a doubt : what is the difference between Black list and White list ?
I thought the phone numbers in white list were able to join me whereas the others phone numbers can't.
And the Black list was the people to be redirected to my answering machine whereas the other number can reach me.
I ask this question because I try with my wife phone number : I put it in the white list and she was not able to reach me (I saw that it was block by CF)

Just checked the application out!
Works very well, thanks!
Just a tip for a future release.
I tray icon would be perfect, so you can actually see right away if its running or not.
For the rest, keep up the good work!

Unfortunately there is a more stable/mature application (CSB), that's been around for a while now, that is able to do everything you're asking for.

@Morphy: Please don't take me wrong.
I have myself developed a Profiles application. But I am not willing to reinvent the wheel, given there is a bunch of other 'Profilers' out there that do much more than my application does.
You'd better try to make your application 'different' from the others in some way.
Just my two cents.

I update it!
Thank you all. I have added an icon in SysTray and updated the CAB file. Now you can know the status of CF on the today screen.

Great Work !
Thanks
And for my question about the difference between black and white list ? :wink:

I've got other questions :
- is there a way to block hidden numbers ?
- could it be possible to create a log of the blocked Calls ?
- coud you add an exit option and a link to the CF settings and in the today icon ?
I try to put numbres in the balck to test but when I test to call myself with this phone numbers, nothing happen... I'm missing something if you could explain this it would be great :wink:

I'm sorry I cannot test hidden numbers blocking now.
If you enable black list, all incoming calls in black list will be blocked.
If you enable white list, all incoming calls NOT in white list will be blocked.
Outgoing calls are never blocked.

Sorry but it doesn't work for me (Qtek 9100 - WM 5.0)
When I choose black list => nothing happen, incoming calls in black list aren't blocked. Same for those who aren't in the black list.
And when I choose white list all incoming calls in white list are blocked.

I have tested it in i-mate JASJAR WM5.0. Do you save your change?
If you did it, I cannot realize what's wrong.
Maybe you can also check whether the incoming call number is the same with the one in list. I mean both have the prefix "+" or not.

OK thanks for the reply.
I'm going to check that

Hi DoctuerN
I tryed this software on the Xda Executive and I have the same problem:
Numbers saved in the Black list are not blocked
Numbers saved in the White list are block
You have said in the earlier post that the Black list are blocked and the White list are not blocked.
Can you please check your coding it looks like you have got them the wrong way round.

Merry Christmas

good staff thanks , works perfectly in (mda compact)

Excellent , works fine on Qtek2020i Congrats

Caller ID problems

In the last weeks I had probelms, because my qtek 2020 doesn't show the caller name, but only the number, for some calls.
I noticed that sometimes it do it also for outgoing calls.
I find the contact and call and after the call there is a number written instead of the name.
Is there a solution for this?
Thanks for the answer,
Uros
My lovely new swanky XDA2 is a waste of space in this respect too, as even after a reset or power off, my Caller ID app displays a photo in at most, about 45% of my incoming calls.
It's damn well driving me mad, and pEEs poor on the part of the XDA2.
Someone PLEASE tell me there is a way to get it to work for ALL my incoming calls, not just some of them on a very random basis.
I even find that re-running the app, so that it is a process in memmory, still makes no difference...

I took out the four xflashman.lnk from the startup folder gaining 4 processes for the 32 processes limitation.
True or not, my caller_ID works 100% now.
I dont use the permamnent save, so I could do it.
Hope this may help you. :roll:
What is the xflashman.lnk file etc please?

Hi,
I am sorry, I wrote "x" as a variable...
I meant:
aflashman.lnk
cflashman.lnk
nflashman.lnk
tflashman.lnk
They are used to startup the permament save. I do not use it, so I released these 4 processes removing them from the \windows\startup folder.
Everything works much better now (no more hangs from Activesync and caller ID works 100% )
Bye

Call Filter

I had a Palm software phone (Treo 600) before my current MDA Compact and the Palm had two programs that i cannot seem to find for this PocketPC, can anyone suggest a program
1/ a Call filter, one that does not pass the calls onto the voicemail a filter that will pick up and drop. The Parm one when you had a blocked call it sounded to the caller that they had been cut off, i have been given SmartFilter but you just end up with lots of voice messages.
2/ Was a SMS response program once set if you recieved a text it would make no sound but would send a reply with a message you had set.
as said two usefull program that i cannot find for PocketPC, have i missed then if so can anyone please tell me the names.
Better still PM to me

I have tried that program and it looks very good but is restricted to only 10 numbers from your contact list. I will keep my eye on this program but as said so far it looks very good.

I have a copy of Smartphone and yes it is good except if anyone calls you and they are blocked it goes straight to the voicemail. So i ended up with voicemails, i think a really good call filter should except the call (silently) and just hang up. Smartphone is good but could be better if it picked up and dropped the unwanted calls instead of pointing them to voicemail.
not quite true
it takes it's divert from the phone 'busy' setting.... I think the default is voicemail on busy, but in the phone settings, you can specify another number other than voicemail... I put in my office number....go to the phone application and then the 'call divertl settings
not sure what you mean by pickup and hangup....sounds a bit rude really to the poor caller!
I don't get what you want?
You want the phone to receive a call, and then just hang it up?

What i am after is simple, work ring me weekends and using Smart Filter i end up with a load of vorce mails i dont want that. Now Call Filter when you choise a number to ignore just hangs up No Call and No Voice Mails - Great. I will be glad when he has finished the program as its grippled to only 0 numbers from your phone book at the moment.

Request for Cab to fix Call Log Filter in WM 6.1

I don't know how difficult it would be to build this as I'm not a programmer but would it be possible to create a cab file that would fix this WM6.1 feature (in my opinion BUG) where the Call Log is automatically set to Missed Calls?
It's really annoying. Even afer selecting All Calls the next time I access my call log it's back to Missed Calls again.
I did a search on here and on the net and didnt find anything like this.
This would be really appreciated!!!!
THANX!!!!
I don't have this issue, what ROM are you using?
The official HTC provided 6.1 upgrade for Tytn II
Am I the only one experiencing this annoying feature?.... Or I'm probably the only one using the official HTC Tytn II ROM !!!
Sigh.....
How are you opening the call log?

Did you ever get a resolve for this. I have this problem as well with my HTC Touch P3450, running 6.0. however standard it works, only after installing spb mobile shell does mine default to missed only not all in the filter
i'm using ATT official 6.1...same problem
I even made sure that in the registry it was set to all calls...same problem!

That's probably the reason then. The shortcut on HTC Home points directly to missed calls because it's where the missed call counter is displayed. Try opening the log from the dialer, it should work there. Hopefully it does, then you can load the Call History .exe file floating around here and make a shortcut to that.

Well apparently Call History from the dialer does show me all calls, but this must be a 6.1 bug because in WM6 I could access all calls from the today screen.
Sigh!!!
Hey! I am having the same problem and couldnt find a solution in the Elf section... I just upgraded to 6.1 with a htc touch from sprint, and while before the "missed calls" tab on the today screen would display all calls - missed, in, and out, by default, now it only shows missed calls. You can access your call history via the call screen, but thats an extra step that wasnt there before... any solution to getting that "call log" button on the today screen to show a complete call history instead of only missed calls?

Try QSMS To Buddy:FullFeatured free app from android market
It takes care of the situation you have explained. It not only allows you to send sms during rejected incoming calls. But it also allows the same when someone else rejects your calls (outgoing rejected): a feature never seen before.
Interestingly you have ability to modify the messages right when you are rejecting the call and sending the sms. e.g. instead of saying "call you back later" you can change it to "call you back in a min"
Demo at youtube: search : "QSMS : Quick SMS To Buddy Android App by Onion Systems"

Reject++
If you are looking for an app to let you reject incoming calls with predefined or custom SMS and setup a reminder to return a call as well..
so check Reject++
You can:
- Reject a call with SMS, Reminder, Or Both.

- Smart Reminders Scheduling Engine.
- Works with mobile screen locked or OFF
- Notifications works no matter if the app is active or not.
Check much more Features & Screenshots for Reject++
QText app has been on my Fav list
QText is the most professional application in the category. I tried many apps and none of them allow you to do below two things
1. Change the message before sending it: e.g. send "will call in a minute" instead of "will call you back later"
2. Send text for outgoing calls as well.
Auto text widget is also included.

Hi everybody,
I had this function before upgrading to JB 4.1.2, but nolonger now?
I wonder if someone can tell me how to get it back.
Thanks.
Works fine on WM6.5 & if need enhance the possible options further then Maicall is probably the answer as can handle sms replies as a whole & individually per number etc & rules can be listed in order of checking.
Far better than any of the Android options I have tried & reminds me why my daily work device is still an HD2 on WM6.5.x .

The 3 things I dislike on my SGS2 coming from 3 Years of HTC

Sorry for this rant but I am finding it more difficult to live with these Issues everyday..
1. The call history list all calls (dialed, missed, received) and Messages as well! this is annoying, I dont want to see my message history in my call log, and there is no way to hide it except to view by just one call category, Dialed, missed or received.
2. Dialing a contact by name from the phone key pad, I can only search by the First name and not by second name, On my htc Desire/HD I could very well search by any of the names listed for a contact but unable to do so on this phone, this is really annoying as well.
3. Pull down notification bar would not work in the middle of a call unless I go to the home screen.. not cool.
If anyone knows a work around or other roms that addresses these issue please feel free to recommend.
Thanks in advance.

Try "Dialer One" from the market, it works very similar to the htc desire. And is very customable.
