[question] Blocking a call - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello, is there any option that we could block call from unknown numbers? I cant seem to find it at the phone settings under phone and blocking

I use truecaller from PlayStore. It allows you to block block both unknown and spam calls. Very useful app

+1 on Truecaller. it does both and has a crowd sourced spam database so as new spam numbers appear, they get added

No Free Apps that I know of, but there's a commercial app called magicall. I use it and I think it's worth it.
thanks dawg
Call firewall 1.4 is free and will work on HD2
Incoming call blocker HD2 is free as well: hd2apps
Do those apps block anonymous calls also? I hate seeing that "unknown" caller on the screen lol

Yep, both of those will...the hd2apps incoming call blocker even has an option to block only unknown calls.

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

Lost ability to block calls

I was using my phone a few days. I could click a phone number, go to Call Details, and Block Number.
I rooted my phone, because I wanted to try a manual update to Feb OTA and now I can no longer block calls
Any ideas?
True Caller

[Q] Block numbers based on "starts with"

Hey guys, on my previous phone (LG V30) I was able to block calls depending on what the phone number started with. For instance, I want to block all calls from a specific area code + prefix, but I'm unable to figure out how to do this on the S10+. Is there a way without using a third part app? I can only find the option to block entire numbers and I'm not about to enter in all 10000 numbers!
I haven't seen a way yet but the third party app you don't wanna use would be Me. Number. I haven't seen any ads yet either so it's probably worth trying.

HELP - Block private/unknown calls

Hi,
is there a way to Block private/unknown calls on stock rom?? Tryed bunch of apps and not working..
any help?
thanks
Truecaller works pretty well
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.truecaller&hl=en_US
Also Calls Blacklist - Call Blocker works well too.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vladlee.easyblacklist&hl=en_US
Both give you the option to automatically block private/unknown numbers. They also give you the option to block a number series (ex. Block numbers that start with 1877)
@ ogkillergreen,
i have tryed truecaller and calls blacklist but they aren't working prorperly..
TRuecaller never blocked a private call... the call blacklist blocks on the begining but then stops to block..
any ideas or solution?
thanks

Did i go through all the settings? what do you mean by that? i choose to block unknown/private calls and it didn't block none..
any idea?
thanks
Typically (at least for the "calls blacklist" app) the app asks if you want to set up the app as your "default phone" app. If you choose not to do this, then it will not "intercept" any call blocking you have configured. Check to see in your apps, which is the default "phone". If its still your actual "phone" app, then these apps will not be able to block anything.
I actually use Hiya, costs $2.99/month for Android users. (Works on iOS as well). It can do a ton of stuff you are looking for.

In the app i'm using, it initially didn't block either.... coz i missed a few steps (I'm using the app i mentioned in my earlier post, "calls blacklist"). I loaded the app, and turned on the "calls" (I didn't enable sms). Then, i figured out, i had to hit that little "down arrow" on the right, and actually select "private" and "unknown" numbers. Mine has been blocking ever since.
I block unwanted numbers in the dialer itself,,, I have google dialer installed and don't know if OOS dialer has the same options as the google dialer.
This is what i do ,,,,,, Go to dialer settings in settings you see blocked numbers and caller id and spam.
In blocked numbers you can block the spamcaller.
in Caller Id and spam suspected spamcalls.
