Is there an app that will block unknown calls? - Hero CDMA General

Hey I've been getting a lot of sales calls the past couple of weeks and I've been trying to blacklist them but I can't because it shows up as unknown so I can't do anything so I was wandering if there's a reliable app that will completely block all unknown calls I've already called the national do not call registery but it hasn't kicked in yet I'm on asopcmod gingerbread

If you have a rom that supports blacklist(this would be built into the rom, you can check by goin into your contact list and long pressing a contact and see if "add to blacklist" is an option). If it is add the number that is calling u and add it to blacklist, when they call they will be automatically sent to voicemail. Handy feature not many know about.

App to unblock blocked numbers?

I've been getting a lot of calls lately from blocked numbers of people messing around. I know there are services out there, but is much rather pay for an app. Does anyone know of a good one on the market?

AFAIK, there isn't an app to do this. I was under the impression that when a private call comes in only the switch knows it's origin.
Is there an app to send block calls and even unknown numbers (people not on your contacts list) directly to voice mail?

I think Call Blocker or call blocker lite has the option to pickup then hang up instantly or send to voicemail. Check it out
Call me paranoid but I'm a bit distrustful of any app asking for call phone and full internet permission. Thanks for the suggestion though!
Lol i completely forgot If you're running DarchDroid i know you can goto Settings > Call Settings > scroll to the bottom > Blacklist
Edit: but its only for numbers you enter yourself tho, forgot about that aspect of what you were looking for :L

Google Voice Question

I read on a blog that if you add your google voice number to a calling circle plan (like my faces or the thing they have for Verizon), that all your outgoing calls will be free if you set GV to make the calls from your phone during the initial GV setup.
My question is that when i dial out, i notice a popup that google voice says its calling they GV but the number that pops up isn't my GV number. Am i doing something wrong?

As far as I'm aware, you can't do it through the official app because it changes the outgoing numbers.
I do it using the calling card method(call my google voice number, then choose option 2, then dial the outgoing number), and I've got my sister's phone set to do it with an app I found in the market that automates it. I don't recall the app, but I can find out if you want.

Well you can add the connection number to the list and it will be free when you call out but that number changes randomly, i had mines setup in the friends and family and about three months of usage they changed the number so i went ahead and changed it again on the friends and family. They say that the number is changed but not daily more like every couple of months like it has happened to me, in conclusion you will be using 2 slots of the friends and family one for your GV number so its free when they call you to your GV number and one for the connection number so its free when you call out thru GV.

That sucks. Friends and family takes 24 hours for a new number in the list to take effect. And that means i have to keep an eye on the dial out number all the time to see if its changed or not.

Q - any good Call Log apps?

I just wasted an hour trying out various call log apps on the my phone and they all seem to suck.
There's not an app that actually bunches up your call log by contact name/phone number? I know the default dialer on my 2.1 stock based sense rom has basically that but it's a bit buggy when trying to delete the call history of a single number...
So I'm just hoping I overlooked a possible solution to my issue.
Thanks

TimeCatcher
The setting you are looking for is in menu>more>catch calls. Set by default. You then have to "catch calls" and set if you want all calls or just "clients"

Phone

Lets try a new approach to this for the phone feature. Since we know it dials out on activations, lets try getting log cats of it. Same goes for a failed call. Compare the two

It dials out with what? If there isn't a dialer app on it what is it using? Or, are you saying it dials out with the dialer app and then disappears?
Netdial allows for calling over 3g and is free in the market. Works the same as the dialer.

Only Verizon versions call out to activate.
Tmo doesn't.

Google voice is a cloud-based visual voicemail manager and can be used as a call redirector to redirect incoming calls to one or more devices capable of receiving voice calls.
Google also supports direct phone calling from the desktop (but not currently from non-phone mobile devices).
What are you trying to set up?

people have made the Galaxy Tab working with Google voice.
Make and receive calls from the Galaxy Tab with Google Voice
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItTIswb1AnQ
In that video he is using a SIM card from a device with voice + data (which you can not get on the Tabs original SIM card. (Which is why is is "stuck on 2g"))
There are fixes and work-arounds that allow the 2g + voice option and they can be found in this forum as well as the development forum. Currently, there is no known way to do voice calls + 3g on the tmobile network (which I assume you are on because that's what he is on in the video)
Google voice is simply a redirector, it is NOT a program that makes phone calls. In order to use it, you still must have a number to route to and from.
Hope this helps.
What the OP may be thinking of is integrating Google Voice with a VOIP provider such as Skype or pbxes.
If that is the case, there are a number of excellent tutorials already on this forum explaining how to do that for different VOIP suppliers.

this is also worth a read.
What can also be done is, if you have your tab set up to be a phone with any of the "free favourites" plans is to have GV send you ITS number instead of the caller's original number so that all incoming calls are free.
Similarly, if you install GV on a phone, you can set it to intercept all outgoing calls and forward them to a special local GV number - which I believe can also be added as a favourite - thereby enabling free calling within the US.
