run it as user.

best way to do is:

"killall callerx" as root then
"/etc/init.d/callerx start" as user

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Callerx -- Call Blocker in QT

Done that already , and no error if run commands as user but still allows blocked number to call ..

tested the blocking button when call received and does works and block the number and saves the number to blacklist but when the blocked number dials again the call Permitted even know the number is in blacklist . the app was working fine until i relfashed the phone . do not know wht this has to do with the callerx not blocking the number .

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Callerx -- Call Blocker in QT

Tried Killall callerx . and worked Fine .. Thx

Thanks for reporting.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Callerx -- Call Blocker in QT

A really useful application, thanks for this.

Installed from package manager, received an undesired call and hang it using the Power Key button. No problems.

Then I received again a call from the same number and Callerx didn't block it.

I have checked the blacklist file and the number was there, no dashes, no symbols, it's a known number, nothing special.

I have checked that the service is running with ps -fea |grep callerx, and then add a testing number to the file. The testing phone wasn't blocked as well.

Restarted service and manually loaded the blacklist, now it seems to work fine. Is it possible that the autostart script is not loading the blacklist correctly? or file changes are not noticed?

Another question, is it possible to avoid the notification of a missed call received after blocking the call?

By the way, it would be funny for those ad calls to actually pick up the phone, reproduce a previously recorded message, something like:
"Yes, it's me"
...wait for a minute
"Oh, I'm very interested, explain it to me with more detail"
... wait for five minutes
"this is a recorded message that made you lose your time. Annoying, isn't it? So it is to receive these calls"
hang
:D

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Callerx -- Call Blocker in QT

have you installed the most recent version? the most recent version addressed the bug i mention in the previous post.

Usually the problem is at the list? to test remove the blacklist.txt and restart the callerx, then get another phone to test it.

edit.

seems like you're using old version, update it.

your suggestions is cool but then again what happen if you are talking on the phone with someone and blocked caller call, the phone would have to switch the line and pick it up and play the message. you don't want that...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Callerx -- Call Blocker in QT

I have the most recent version available at extras-devel: 0.1.5.

Will make some more tests.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Callerx -- Call Blocker in QT

I have thoroughly tested the most recent version, and it all worked fine.
