Blocking unwanted incoming calls and sms on HTC Touch Pro2 - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

GodswMobile, the makers of SMS Transfer, have released a new application called Pocket Call Blocker.
As the name would suggest, the purpose of the application is to block unwanted incoming calls and sms. Unlike other software available for doing this, they have managed to keep the application as simple as possible. You simply add numbers to the filter list and the program prevents those numbers from calling you. Also unlike other applications available, the software does not simply ignore calls from those numbers – it instantly hangs up the callers. This prevents the unwanted callers from even reaching your voicemail! BTW, it could also used as a sms spam filter.
Key feature description from pocketcallblocker.com
* Multiple filtering rules - filter by specific numbers, wildcard numbers, anonymous and unidentified numbers, groups/categories numbers, contact/non-contact numbers; all numbers.
* Two incoming phone call block actions - hang up and mute;
* Two SMS block actions - delete and mark as read;
* Built-in phone number block log;
* Run on background;
* Easy way to operate and set up filter rules;
The application runs on Windows Mobile Pocket PC 6, 6.1, and 6.5 and is available from pocketcallblocker.com for $19. But I found a discount order link with 50% off.

AMEN!!! And SPAM! of course. lol
While we're on the subject, I used to use CallFirewall before changing my number, but never found a similar program for text messages. Does anyone know of one?

now, when recieving an incoming call do you still recieve the initial ring before it hangs up? Because ive yet to find a program that completely blocks a call. They just hang up a split second after. if i blocked a number, i want it to go straight to voicemail for that person, without ringing. ill check this one out

I use Photo Contacts Pro myself...not freeware, but it does the job quite nicely hanging up on unwanted calls and sms...

Magicall from mobiion is doing a verny nice job. you can set up different rules for calls and sms and also tell the program what to do with them (ignore, hang up, delete sms, forward, and so on)

Phone application cprog.exe

Hi,
I want some information about default phone application cprog.exe.
I want to know how does it communicate with outlook and other application.
I guess most probably it should be via message posting.
But, unfortunately wheni tested the same with spy running on cprog and then i called a contact from outlook contacts.
I see many messages posted to cprog but I found no message or Parameter(WPARAM/LPARAM) to cprog that contains the number to call.
can anyone help me out to get information how to fetch that number? the number passed to phone/cprog.exe from contact.
The same thing i need for sddialer.exe that after matching the sound tag, how it informs cprog that which number to call?
Please help! I am looking these since long...
Good Luck
Best of luck trying to find any doco on cprog (if you do, please post back here!).
If you have a look at this thread you may find what you are looking for (at least how to initiate a call from the PC is there):

Look for LINE_REQUEST message
There a two ways, that an application can make a call; using tapiRequestMakeCall or lineMakeCall. tapiRequestMakeCall is by far the simplest to use. Examples of their use can be found in two sample cellcore progams available from microsoft, CeDialer, and HelloTapi. You could try this and see which produces messages simular to outlook. I'll guess that it's HelloTapi (tapiRequestMakeCall).
When an application uses tapiRequestMakeCall a LINE_REQUEST message is sent to the call-control application. This application must then call lineGetRequest to get information on the request. It then must execute the request.
See the remarks on the lineRegisterRequestRecipient page at microsoft
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms736043.aspx
I wish there was a similar Hello USSD example for the lineSendUSSD API. There's very little information on it... No one seems to be able to capture the responses past the first call.
oops missed part of your question
After the call app places the call, it should get a series of messages, mostly LINE_CALLINFO and LINE_CALLSTATE. The messages contain a handle for the call. Once you have the call handle you should be use the lineGetCallInfo and lineGetCallState functions to get info about the call. I think lineGetCallInfo includes the number that was called. The callstate typically goes through dialling, progressing, and then connected. I believe your not supposed to use the call handle until after a LINE_REPLY message is sent, saying the call didn't fail. If there are problems perhaps you should wait a short time.
To find out more about the messages, you could play with the CeDialer sample. It's linecallbackfunc looks at the messages, it would be easy to put in a few logging statements to see what's in each message. It think CeDialer will only get messages for inbound calls, and calls that it originated. (not ones by cprog.) Although you should check to be sure that I'm correct.
Good luck! Please, let us know whatever you might find out.
Hi,
I will look into this and post reply according As soon as possible.
Thanks
Where i can find the original cprog.exe to install in my non phone PDA? it's the dialer for voip.
Many thanks

Is it possible to trigger based on incoming caller ID

I am looking for an app that lets me do stuff when certain incoming numbers (either a simple editable list or a selection of contacts) call..... essentially I want the phone to answer and then hang up immediately so the numbers don't get my voicemail, they just get rejected.
At the moment I have the contacts set with a silent ringtone so I don't get disturbed, but sometimes I get voicemails from them and I want to prevent these.
I have had a look at Mortscript and can find how to handle incoming calls, just not how to handle incoming calls from specific contacts in specific ways.
Any help appreciated
go to www.youmail.com
i like this free service and it handles caller id calls more efficiantly than any software you can purchase.
Thanks for the link, unfortunately it's US only and I'm in the UK.
CallFirewall does exactly that what you need.
Try this:
http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html
It does everything you asked, and a whole lot more.
+1 for magicall... it rocks
Thanks for the links guys, downloading them both now
Call Firewall didn't quite do the trick as I could only get it to go to voicemail, but Magicall does 100% what I want, plus more, so I promptly coughed up the cash for it
Somewhere else on the forum there's a program what lets you make your own interface in html with js/flash. you can use that and make javascript countdown for x seconds and than let it pick up and hang up... or whatever you want not the best solution but it still is a solution

Reject Call With Text Message

Does anyone know how to get this to work?
It can be found in Start - Settings - Phone - Advanced Tab
Mine is ticked but doesn't seem to do anything when I choose Ignore to an incoming call (i.e. the caller is not sent a text message saying the above)
Any ideas
I have wondered about this for a long time, but haven't come up with anything to make it work, sorry.
I usually disable it sooner or later, just in case.

I have unlimited text messages so charges isn't an issue for me.
All I can find is the option to send a text message when a call comes through, but nothing to automatically send a text message on an ignored call.
Hm, I think it's like this. Someone is calling you and if you wan't to ignore/reject the call, put your phone upside down on a table(with screen to the table), the call will be automatically ignored and I think THEN the message will be sent try it, not sure
I think, I have figured it out.
On an incoming call, you have the option to click on "Send text" in the lower left corner. The call is then rejected and you can compose an SMS to send to the caller.
I use an app called SMS Minder to do this myself, and I'm quite pleased with the results. You can have it respond to all missed calls/texts (select BLACKLIST & leave the field blank) or only to missed calls from certain numbers (select WHITELIST & add the numbers you want to respond to).
I've been using it for several months and it makes my work so much easier. I'm a cabdriver, and when a call comes in & doesn't get answered for whatever reason SMS Minder sends a message that says "I can't talk now, please text me".
For the longest time I didn't really trust Texting that much, but it's become an integral part of my work now. So much easier to read&reply to an SMS (10 to 15 seconds tops) than it is to dial voicemail, listen through the prompts & recital of the phonenumber, then listen to the message...and finally after all of THAT is done, then return the person's call. Texting is just that much easier.
Especially if I use a program like this to automate my responses...and a program on my desktop to send other text messages just like they were an email (it's got an interface similar to Outlook). I plug the phone into the computer & tuck it away...then any interaction I have with the phone is done by using Jeyo Mobile Companion (SMS interface with additional cool features) and/or MyMobiler (fully manipulable screen-shot of the phone's screen) on my desktop.
Of all the apps I've tried and/or discarded, these three have become almost indispensable to my work.
Use QSMS To Buddy:FullFeatured Free app from android market
Posted Android app on non Android forum by mistake. Sorry!
i believe, given the age of this thread, that it is about the native windows mobile feature to reject calls with an sms and there was no need to bump the thread with an app for another operating system. also, on android, depending on your phone and rom, this feature might also be pre-installed and available from stock, w/o the need for a 3rd party app.

Hmmm,...I have it checkd but I don't believe anybody ever received an sms from me when I reject a call. Weird,..
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"

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 .

Caller Blacklist App ?

Hi
Is there an app that will allow me to either blacklist and reject calls, or direct them to a virtual voicemail box ?
Virtual VM being within the phone not the carrier ?
I had a similar app on my Nokia N95 8GB.
Thanks
You don't need a seperate app. Just add them as a contact and select Send to voicemail. Not tried it though.

Maybe you can create an mp3 file of silence then set that as the ringtone for those contacts you want to send to voicemail. Will that work?
I just came here about to post the same thing!
Individual blocking on a case by case basis is fine. But not powerful enough. I came from Nokia E series and the only thing I miss is Advanced Call Manager.
If you look up this program, what you will find is that it has some great features:
- You can set up many lists then just tell the phone to use the list for a whitelist or blacklist.
- You can block all unknown numbers.
- Block everyone. Essentially turns phone into pager.
Even blocking calls is done in a variety of ways.
- to voicemail
- to busy tone
- block and send sms
- divert to various numbers depending on mode
Etc.
As you can see, it is a very powerful program that is set up very easily and I never had any complains, only praise. I often used it when I was writing when I would only want my partner and my mother to contact me and would block everyone else.
I have been looking but can't see anything as powerful or as highly rated. What I've found are:
aFirewall
Extreme Call Blocker
Phone Armor C.
But these seem either basic or don't work reliably.
