how to block unknown calls - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Everything I read says there is a setting in the phone dialer > settings.
I have no such setting.
how do I block all unkonwn calls?

Do not disturb settings
Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk

I use call blacklist pro. blocks on how you set it. if you are not in my contacts you get voicemail. Phone does not ring at all.
there may be other ways in the phone dialer, but I have had the best success with Call blacklist Pro. In play store.

It's not rocket science.

Thanks for the suggestion!
However, after updating to the beta version of the Phone app, those options shown on your screenshot are still not there... I can only add individual numbers to block. My current version is 29.0.234661434-publicbeta. Any thoughts?

Some of that is server side so it takes awhile once you join a beta for them to activate all features.

and sign in your register in pocket pc now u can use program
looks attractive, any way we can get more screenshots than just the one?
This is what I use. It's been great for me
I used to use it, But I find JiveTalk to be a bit more polished.
I use palringo. First time I've heard of JiveTalk. It looks sexy! Downloading now =D
+1 for jivetalk. Palringo is good, but it has this annoying status bar icon that never goes away when the program is on. It takes up way too much space on the today screen for something that is pointless. I switched to jjivetalk and haven;t gone back ...

Not sure why, I know when I set mine up I registered on the site first and got all the registration stuff taken care of,then I downloaded and installed. Logged right in no problems. I have been using it about a week. Maybe go to palringos web site and verify you can log in there.
yes it has conference... all you have to do is make a group and allows you to talk to people in that group... it also allows pictutre messaging and audio messaging
may be due to sd installation... it works much better from main memory... been using it for about a year now, and it does auto updates as well... so for the most part i love it... i also use jive talk because it stores threaded chat sessions

I can log in into palringo's forum..
But using palringo on my device, it doesn't log in.......
When JiveTalk comes out of Alpha/Beta, it will go on a pay to use fee thing. Is Palringo free (and will it remain free)?

If I go into Manage Applications I have two facebook apps listed, Facebook version 1.3.2 and Facebook for HTC Sence version 1. Neither will allow me to uninstall?
It's a bug?
In fc chat, if we select go offline, my friends in their fc PC, see me like being online, it's annoying because some times I want not being seeing online.
I think is a bug app.
Can someone confirm this.

OK Google voice command only goes to lockscreen

So I've been playing around all day to get this to work but cannot. Every time I use the OK Google voice command with the screen off it only goes to the lockscreen and I have to enter a pattern.
I've read through a few posts but nothing I've tried is working.
Can anyone offer some assistance??

Google Phone no longer in Playstore

Does anyone know why Phone disappeared in the Playstore? I can no longer even see it listed under my installed apps in the Playstore. I had disabled one update before, because the screen wouldn't turn on while on Bluetooth. The phone was listed under available updates for a while and recently just disappeared. At first I thought it was because I installed Gcam with camera2 API and HAL3, but the phone is not rooted, and bootloader is locked.

It did update the phone app, but frequently I got the error "Google has stopped" so uninstalled it, which means that the app I have now is even older version than 16. I had earlier. It doesn't update now. Perhaps February update may bring some changes,
Regards
I think compatibility was removed from the Mi A1 as they were receiving many 1 star reviews on the app by people from India. Many users are complaining about issues related to the Jio network which are not being experienced by users from other countries.
IjazCI said:
Thats strange. I never got any error messages. Absolutely zero errors. Also updated Google Play Services to latest stable ( 948 ) version on apkmirror as our device has 448 version by default.
I lost my patience , unlocked bootloader, temporary booted to twrp and flashed the 3rd February beta by sooti earlier today. :victory: lol. ( Camera tooks a while to start after this, but that doesn't bother me. )
My device is pure stock with no modification other than the beta thing. Planning to update to stable February ota when fastboot rom is released. Or sooti bring the twrp twrp flashable rom ( whichever is earlier )
I don't know the issue others mentioning on the threads, for me this device is rock stable from the day i purchased it. No random reboot or application forcestop etc...
Regards
Edit - Camera lag is because of root. I didn't realise that. Anyway flashed the stock boot images by sooti on both partitions and the lag is gone.

To avoid camera lag and dialer app lag install magisk permission module

Thank you for the answer. I fixed the lag. Root is causing that lag so i unrooted the phone. This is one device i don't feel that i need root anymore.

Right but i can't live without root because Lucky patcher, xposed, and freedom are must have apps for me. OTA comes in more than a month so who cares when you can update through twrp and fastboot method without loosing data

You guys do know you can remove Duplicates via the Contacts app and the Phone app has nothing to do with it right?
That's not exactly the issue @joeyhuab.
What i'm facing is that isssue :
1) If i open contact app, there is no duplicate contact at all
2) if i go to the contact tab of the phone app, there is duplicate contacts (on line for each app that allow calls, for example if one of my contact is on whatsapp, duo and signal, i got 4 contacts line, one for standard call, one for whatsapp call, one for signal call and finally one for duo call)
That's pretty annoying and i didn't yet find any solution

You can merge the contacts by showing ALL CONTACTS in the Contacts app then merging them all.

Welp. I don't have duplicate contacts on the contacts tab of the Phone app. Weird issue.
Phone app v17 was working fine until i changed to new beta rom and now its not available in play store so i downloaded latest apk from apkmirror and now this message appears when i app phone app " This device is not supported and phone calls may not work correctly" ??
Update: So i changed my phones build prop with some pixel 2 xl build props and restarted device and now Phone App is visible in play store and supported. Everything working fine
I've posted this on Xiaomi's forums, just in case... http://en.miui.com/thread-1833415-1-1.html (could not find existing thread for that).
Also discussed here:

I am also using the stock messaging app and don't have "chatbots". Unless you are referring to the Network Messages, where it's a message to a small phone number. Are they grouped under 1 thing, then you can see all of the different one's? Facebook has this kind of visual setting, I'm not sure if this if what you are referring to though.
Can you show me a screen shot now?

Messaging app version is: 5.1.20.200422105021.c57d7ec

Oh dang ! I don't have that build yet so I can't help to check it out.
I gotta run that OTA fixer.
What are the settings pages for Chats and for Wireless Alerts?
Chat settings and wireless alert settings.
Any help is appreciated it's been bothering me since it showed up
@RypeDub if you can get the messaging .apk off your phone before upgrading I can try to install it on my phone and see if it resolves the problem.
Kind of a manual work around but if we can get the .apk somewhere it'll at least be a solution for now.
How do you do that? I'll help out before I run the OTA fixer
I downloaded Package Manager: App info, APK Analyze & backup by Sarangal
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sarangal.packagemanager&hl=en_US
In that app you should be able to "share" and fire it into an e-mail to yourself then onto xda, or possibly google cloud, or do a back up and manually pull it off the phone.
I'm sure there are other package managers that can do the same as well.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/15_md-XUKtK_l5gv0_cL6ZW-MRj3cfmod/view?usp=drivesdk
That looks like the Google messaging app not the default OnePlus messaging app. At least when I downloaded it that what it's showing up as and when clicking "view in play store" it goes to the Google messaging app. Either way I'm not able to install it as it's failing. I'll mess with it a little more possible tomorrow. Thank for trying!
