In phone settings your able to select who to block your caller ID on.
I chose show callerID only to people on contact list. But for some reason it just keeps blocking my CallerID for all outgoing calls.
Anyone else experience this?
Yes. For some reason it blocks your number from an outgoing call if you call a contact without using your contact list to place the call.
Having your contacts in your one touch dial and using that blocks the call.
Using the recent call list/missed call list also blocks your number.

I wonder if anyone can suggest how to block incoming "unknown" calls. In other words how to allow calls only from my address book. (or at least allow calls that are not "hiden")
Thank you in advance
Hi,
just search for "call blocker" or "smartfilter" here in this forum...
HTH,

I know there is many applications to block contacts or specific numbers. But none of them clean the log if you call to a specific number, or send a messege.
Idea:
-Clean specific number from Log, dialed or received.
-Clean sms sent box from the messege sent to a specific number.
-Receive sms from specific numbers in a inbox folder inside the app.
-Hide numbers in contact List.
-Block incoming call from numbers by (silence phone and hide all notifications and blocking answer and reject key), keeping a log.
-Protected password app with log, and hidden numbers that you can dial directly from the list.
I'm available to make the graphic part for this app.
Private msg me if we can develop it together.
anyone interested in devolop this app ...

It's only a matter of doing things well and never give space for becoming jealous .
Is there a way to completely disable incoming callerID on the DroidX either via an Ap or by tweaking a rom? I'm working with a law enforcement program that requires all incoming calls to be completely anonymous. We have talked to our telco extensively and they are unable to turn off the incoming caller ID signal so I need to be able to remove the function from the phone.
I've seen the ability to block yourself from showing up when you make outgoing calls, but never the ability to hide incoming calls.
You might have to get this specially tweaked for you by a dev.
Is there anyway to just drop rejected/declined calls without sending them to voicemail?
Not by default, maybe some other dialler will do that but in general whenever you reject a call on any phone it sends them to voicemail.
Your other option is to just pickup and hang up right away or disable voicemail. I do that for 1800 numbers which id on't want some automated machine leaving me a message.
Get the Mr. Number from the Play Store. There's hangup and send to voicemail options.
I'm using avast mobile security and their call filter. It works great but when it blocks a call, it gets sent to voicemail. Support asked what happens when I manually reject a call so I believe it is using the reject function of the Nexus 4.
Besides Mr Number, there are others available that drop the call but I was trying to get away with only using one app...since avast is going to be on my phone anyway.
This question is not specific to the Nexus 6P, but that is the phone I carry.
I add 2 or 3 phone numbers (telemarketers) to my blocked call list every week. When a telemarketer calls, I (1) hang up, (2) go to the call log, (3) tap the call record to expand it, (4) tap "call details", then (5) select "block number." That's all very simple.
The issue is that now that I have dozens or hundreds of blocked numbers , when I miss a call, there's no easy way to see if the missed call was from a number on my blocked list. A missed call from a blocked number looks the same as a missed call from an un-blocked number (unless they're in my contact list).
I can scroll through (but not search or sort) my blocked call list by (1) opening phone app, (2) tapping "Settings" in the primary menu, then (3) tapping "Call Blocking." This presents a list of all of the numbers that I've ever blocked, but I can't search it and I can't sort it.
In a perfect world, the Call Log would somehow show a flag for missed calls from blocked numbers so that I don't have to search the list to see if the number is blocked. In an even more perfect world, a tap on that number would take me to a detail page showing all the times that number has called and been blocked. Finally, the blocked number list would be both searchable and sortable.
I think that most/all of this could be accomplished by a 3d party app - for which I'd gladly pay five bucks. There are lots of call blocking apps on the market, but they all appear to operate separately from the Android native call blocking function.
Q. - Any suggestions on how to make this better?
if you miss a call using stock dialer.app call blocking, and the number is on the block list, there is no record of it in your call log.
The whole point of blocking the call is so there is no trace of it.
>>> The whole point of blocking the call is so there is no trace of it.
I disagree. The whole point of blocking is not to be interrupted by a call from an unwanted caller. The point of a log is to make a record of incoming and outgoing call - and attempted call - activity.
then in that case you should use do not disturb.
call blocking is just that, blocking a call.
Agreed. Don't ring the phone, but I would like to see a log of the blocked calls, so I can tell how persistent a spammer is.
