In my previous LGv20 I had the option to put call in blocking so when they called again the phone would not ring at all. I thought all phones had this.
does anyone know how to add this feature to OP6T?
Update since I cannot delete this post. After I wrote this I searched in play store and there are many apps to accomplish this.

I'm not exactly sure what or who the culprit is here.
Phone is rooted with JF 1.42,
but 2-3 times a day, my phone would ring once and when I look, it's a missed call from my own number!
Anyone else have this issue?
i myself havent had this problem but a friend of mine has said the same thing. i was like lay off the feel good smoke. but i guess he was for real. does anyone know what could be causing this?
Either you need to stop hanging up on yourself, or someone is spoofing the callerID.

could it be an app? use advanced task manager to view running apps and services running, and use it to close the apps you dont need, see if it continues, im also using rooted jf 1.42 rc33 and ive never had this issue, give us a list of your apps, there is also a program available that gives you a log of what the apps are doing that you cant see, that might help as well if you narrow it down.
if you cant fix it this way maybe downloading bratags call blocker and adding your own number to it would work, its kind of a cheap way to get around it, but if all else fails then...
Call blocking yourself. I laughed at the most rediculious things!

You are absolutely right. I noticed it and I found some of the calandering apps that I downloaded for testing are periodically accessing the phone, I don't know why and I could not figure out which because I had a lot of apps installed for testing. So I decided to uninstall every 3rd party app and see and that did the trick.
--Ram--
I don't perticularly have that many apps installed. I also don't try and uninstall a lot of apps.
These are the apps I have:
Hot Giggity!
Alkaline
Pkt Auctions eBay
Bubble
Astro File Manager
ShopSavvy (with the location thing turned off)
Finance
FastBright
AK notepad
Txtract
Labyrinth Lite
PapiJump
Task Manager
Ringdroid
Video Player
ApkInstaller
I didn't have any missed calls from me yesterday, but i had one already today.
Then the strangest thing happened.
My number is 733-xxxx
After the missed call from me... a second later i got a call from a number that also started with 733.... ... I answered and no one said anything...and then i called back and said I got a missed call from this number and the lady said wrong number.
how does phone number spoofing work?

if im correct its VOIP, but not from your phone, the way SPOOFAPP works is that there service calls you, using VOIP (which can be set to display almost any number) and so your phone rings with the number you wish to have your phone call as, then when you answer and press 1, it then confrence calls another person, also displaying the number that called you, since its the service making the call (your phone never makes a call, you only answer a call and are connected) and then the person on the other end sees the incomming number as what the service says it is, and it stays muted while you talk, making it appear as if your phone number isnt what it is, when really its the service who is calling not you
if someone is using this app, they can NOT call your number from your number, the app wont allow it (ive tried), i can not call 555-0123 as 555-0123, nor can i call as 911 and so on
not to say that other companys out there wont do this, but spoofapp will NOT

well how often do you call yourself from your own phone number? the only time youd do that is to take the long way to your voicemail
therfor the only other time a incoming call would be YOUR number, is when there isnt supposed to be a incoming call
therfor, callblocking yourself, would work imo
such a difficult concept
ok... weird
just had 4 missed calls from a 733-xxxx number and 1 from 733-yyyy number..... and one from myself.
What gives.... calling t-mobile but not sure what they're gonna say or do.
someone must be using an app called spoof123
Oh i know why this happens! You have the Voicemail callback service enabled!
Normally, when someone leaves you a message, all you get is a text message. Now, the voice mail computer calls you, you pick up and it'll tell you how many voice messages you have.
If you don't pick up, you have a missed call from your own number.
its so freaky =..=
I am looking to block contacts and add some sort of blacklist program. I have downloaded a number of apps off the market place. But, unlike my old samsung phone which done this like a charm.
When the blocked person calls the phone will ring once and the blocked person phone will 'bring' once. Is there an app that will go straight to answerphone no rings and no brings, like my samsung did.
If you just want the person calling to go straight to answer phone then you can set a hero up to do this without any additional programmes?

mind telling us how exactly?
afaik the app "aFirewall" does exactly this.
I know if I edit my contact there is an option at the bottom, that allows calls from that contact be sent straight to voicemail.
Try Gblocker

wow, you are correct! nice feature, never noticed it. probably not as comfortable as a designated app for this, but at least it is a built-in feature
Callblocker does this.... but you need root.
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-ap-callblocker-zwpz.aspx
Comments say it doesn't work on Hero but it does on mine. The people who complained probably didn't root their phones.
Hi,
i have tried both gblocker and afirewall and they all ring once then block the call. Even the in built feature.
Search "SPC" on Market. I'm using it.
SPC - Super Private Conversations
Here's my scenario,
I'm receiving calls from 3 people that are annoying, I'm not looking for to block these people, but looking an app that can REDIRECT these SELECTED CALLERS to the number of my CHOOSING.
please help me find an app that forwards calls (THAT DOES NOT TAMPER WITH VOICEMAIL)
Thanx in adv.
I hear that phoneAlarm does this from pocketMax.
http://www.pocketmax.net
just tried it, and did find anything regarding call forwarding.
anyone else????
This won't help with your scenario, but might be useful for future reference.
Google Voice offers this functionality by default. You can send those callers to another number, or straight to voice-mail, or block them entirely if you choose.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any WinMo apps that will do that.
Not sure if MagiCall will help you. You can set up custom rules for each number.
Worked great when I was getting annoying calls.
I normally was using Magi call, but have it under hang up and drop. Problem is that it hangs up a second later (they can still hear my background and notice that it the call is being hanged up for the 1 second).
I have tried about 2-3 apps that they are suppose to block the call, instead it send s them to voice mail (I don't want them to have access to my voice mail) or does hang up immediately. Only if there is a TRUE CALL BLOCKER is would consider it.
I now focusing in finding a app that forwards these selected callers to any number of my choosing.
There has to be an app like this, someone hopefully comes through with that answer.

I'm looking for the same thing and PhoneAlarm Pro does support this feature from what I've read. I downloaded the Pro version and installed it. But after restart, it will get stuck on the main screen and nothing else will show. I waited for a while to see if it will load but nothing ever happened and I kept restarting over and over. I finally ended up doing a hard reset. I'm running on the Leo Cell Evo v5 rom tmobile and I don't know if it has something to do with it, but I don't feel like flashing to another rom to see if it works for me so I'll just leave it alone and let someone else figure it out.
Since I can't post to the dev forum where the closest solution was. My fix for no calls work, data and texts both work.
Go into Google voice settings and disable carrier integration.
--Done
Installed voice app on a new ROM and missed the question asking about it. Defaults to integration apparently. No need to uninstall the app or update anything else.
Hey guys. We just upgraded from note 4 phones to the s7 edge.... love it so far, btw!
I read nougat added spam caller reporting, but when we get spam callers the only option in info is to block them, not report them.
We are on verizon, and it looks yo me like they are sort of forcing us to buy into their caller is service for this functionality.
Is that the case, or is there a download of the vanilla nougat dialer we can use to replace the stock dialer if that restored that functionality?
I know this doesn't directly answer your question but I use an app called Hiya. It works as advertised.
Its odd no one knows other than install another app..
