How do you block a number? - Epic 4G General

I remember on my droid there was an option to send numbers directly to vmail. Does this phone have it? Or just block the number? An available app?

Get easy filter from the market you can blacklist any number from calls or text!!

Get google voice, you can block anything you want, send them directly to voicemail, have a personal greeting, etc.

You can also try mr number block in the app market it's the best one I've used yet

I'm trying to remmber what the option is but if you have launcher pro installed you can block numbers with it. You don't have to be using the launcher though. If I remember right, start up launcher pro and press on the screen like you are adding a widget. Select shortcuts then activities. Depending on home many apps you have installed it can take a little bit for the phone to build this list. When it comes up scroll down to call settings, select it then scroll down to auto reject list click on it. It will make a shoetcut on your home page. Click on it and add numbers. The shortcut can be erased and the numbers will stay. Also you don't have to be using launcher pro for it to work.

Ditto! This is fantastic. My wife and I have been getting spammed by a couple of numbers lately and she will be very pleased to know this.

AOSP roms have the option to send a number straight to voicemail in the contacts list but any blacklist app in the market will do this.

I use a profile in Tasker. When a phone # I specify rings, it picks up the phone, and then hangs up.
I am, however, working on something a bit more devious. Tasker will do just about anything, so I've gotten my hands on an audio file that does the "Doo doo deep! Your call could not be completed as dialed, please hang up and try again."
I've written a profile that will pick up the line, mute the microphone, and play back the audio file on a loop until the caller hangs up. Going to test it when my girlfriend gets home from work.

I would SO love a .zip or apk or whatever it takes to use this. it's genius lol

The telemarketer dialers are setup to remove the numbers that get that kind of response. That would be an excellent app!!!

i just nabbed tasker.. heh..
waiting for the .wav file
muahahahahaha..

You can log into your sprint.com account and add numbers to block texts from also.

I loved HTC sense for having the option to send contacts to VM
but best software is EXTREME CALL BLOCKER
anyone who disagrees has 3 nipples
also if anyone doesn't know
TEXT 9999 with block "number" (without quotes)
its sprints service to block text. worked well with some creepo gurl I had to block. Works well for short codes too.

So just to verify, there is no cost involved in using "spoofapp" Right?
I use a spoof calling card (spoofcard.com). It's a great tool, but I'd love to have an app on my phone (it's inconvenient calling an 800#, entering my calling card number, entering my destination number, entering my desired caller id number, etc....). Do you know if I can enter my card details on this app, or do I have to buy their service?
EDIT: haha, awesome, it works with the spoofcard!

bluffmycall working
ok people it is up and running, at least on tmobile tp2 with stocked rom. it allows u to make a free two min. calls to any phone number and allows you to put a fake number on the caller id, home or land line will show the name too.
the program is on my sd card. the app itself isn't flashy, it is just a plain white screen, with places to put the numbers. the only problem is it say that the free version doesn't not allow recording or voice change which kinda sucks. but this one is free. spoof app allow voice changeing and recording, but cost $5 for 25credits. but when you sign up you get 6 free credits, then after those are going if you want to use it you must by credits
when I try it it says it is placing the call and to press ok if it's correct and cancel if it's wrong. Regardless of what I press it just goes back to the 'make call' screen.
for which one are you talking about? spoof app or bluff my calls?
i tried the bluff.cab program but its telling me that i must insert a calling code (011) or + or something similar to that...is there an easier way to use this or can someone help me figure out how to use this...thanks in advance

Desktop Integration with CDMA Hero

Everyone,
I have been scouring the web in an attempt to find a "bluephone elite"-esk app for OS X (or windows) that will integrate with my Hero.
I effing loved this app with my sony ericsson. It is, with some phones, full integration of your phone with your computer. It allows you to do things like: get SMS notifications on your computer screen and reply to them from your lappy/desktop, mod your address book, gives you power and radio stats from your computer, pops up a notepad when you receive a call, and notifies you who is calling with a popup on your desktop.
I'll be honest, I'm mostly interested in the SMS notification and reply features.
Bluephone does offer some but not all features. They say that the phone "lacks required features".
If anyone knows of another program like this I would love to know about it... And if there are any dev's that know why bluephone can offer full integration I would love to hear why.
I found one...but they want $40 for it.

Yeah. If you are really into getting/sending SMS messages on your computer check out Google Voice (free).
Unfortunately, gVoice only supports sending SMS if you use a Google number; I'd imagine that he'd want the messages to appear to come from his cellphone.
I'm told that http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier/ will be adding support for replying to SMS and making calls sometime in the near future. For now, it only works to receive SMS, voicemail notifications and caller ID.

(j/k) Just head over to CodePlex to download/install DroidExplorer then with the program open go to TOOLS -> PLUGINS -> DESKTOP SMS
I chuckled with that step.
But, will that tell me if I have incomming calls too, or just SMS?

I haven't used this app nor does it give much detail on it's features but it works for Mac and Windows.

On a side note:
I can't get droidexplorer to work anyway. Do I need to set it up to look for the messaging app or something?

Well DroidExplorer is web based... Do Not Want.
Many of you will think I'm being too picky here but once you've had Bluephone you can't go back. Its "one-stop-shop" for all the stuff you want in Desktop Integration.
It looks like most of the HTC phones aren't compatible with bluephone though. I wonder if the problem is HTC crippling the bt from the factory.
I think I'm just going to have to buck up and see if I can code it myself.
Droid Explorer is not web based. The sms part for desktop is java based. In order to connect to phone you need to have the server apk installed and started on the phone.

Phone app alternative?

Is there any alternative phone app to replace the stock phone app just like launcher application?
The stock phone app comes with i9000 will open back to the dial pad every time when I open it, instead of the last function being used, which will be more convenience if it could back to the same place like call log. Is there any way to change this behavior? I don't see there is any setting in the phone app.
Thanks.

Can dialer one disable/remove missed calls notifications in the notifications bar when opening the dialer? (Like the default dialer does)
I tried to uncheck the settings (Dont clear missed call icon in notification settings), but it didnt work.
I have to manualy go into the notification bar and Delete the missed call each time.
If you use LauncherPro you can longclick the Phone icon on the dock and choose the Phone app from the applications list. It will then open up properly, displaying the call log if that was the last tab you used on the phone app.
Seems to be a bug (or feature for all I know) in launcherpro that makes it always open on the dial pad
can you get a new app for receiving calls? stock one sucks

I'm using firmware JM2 and the stock dialer defaults to whatever screen I was last using...just tested it
Can anyone confirm if their stock dialer just searches through first-names of contacts when they use the keypad to type a name?
In mine if I type the surname of a contact it is not found.

If you change 'Order of display name' to 'Last Name First Name' in Contacts, dialer will search for last names.

Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk
Mine was on by default due to the 10 day trial and then it was switched to the off after a notification saying I could pay for the service, trial expired. I enabled it again with apex shortcut and it works great. We will see if I get charged premium charge.
Oh snap this is a paid feature...
Not sure where you found the trial. I searched and nothing came up on my phone
Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk
The trial popped up when I activated the phone. I didn't accept the agreement, but it started anyways. After I reenabled it, I checked my account and I don't see any charges yet. It doesn't work for all numbers though (not the phones fault, number probably masking info)
I have it on and it seems like it doesn't work. I got a few bogus calls that it didn't filter.
This did not work for me. Then today I was poking around in the settings and got it to work. I went into Applications in settings and then in the top right enabled system apps. I scrolled down to smart caller ID and clicked it. I went to permissions and enabled contacts.
Anyway an hour later I got a call from a family member from their home phone. I do not have this persons name saved in my phone. It said their first, last, and middle initial right on the screen. I was like wow it's working. So naturally I went into package disable pro and turned it off LOL. I tested it again with the same caller and this time it didn't show their caller ID, only their phone number. I tried to re enable the feature and have not been able to get it back since. If someone can try these steps and see how it works, maybe we can figure it out.
Kept messing with settings and it started working again. Rebooted and it went away.
Yeah this is definitely not working. The option to identify unsaved number Era is on but when I get a call from a unsaved number it doesn't identify the number.
Not working for me either.

That's not an easy thing to do without root, but possible I guess. You think we should flash the csc from the international version? The only way I know how do it is with Odin.

Okay use the app from the OP and search for "smart" and smart caller ID will show up. Click it and then create. Then on the home screen click the newly created shortcut and it should enable permissions for smart caller ID. Then try.
I've tried it multiple ways and I don't see a "smart caller" anything either. Total crap Verizon! Any way someone can extract it?
