and integrating it with SMS blocker. :)

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

No. It doesn't do that. There is a different ap for that. please search the forum and read the first page of this thrwead to have an idea of what is supported and not

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

@anyone who was successful doing this
install daemon (from 1st post)
edit blacklist (put in the numbers you want to block)
xterminal (root then type in command line for blacklist from 1st post)

and that it? am i correct?

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

I have edit the blacklist and start it from xterm...but still not working for me...

P/s:i've put country code

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

install the app
edit blacklist

That's it

note , app is auto start after installed and upon boot.
User only need to do is edit blacklist.txt.

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

i know it doesn't. that was just a wishlist. :)

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

I am researching that...

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

I start working on the callerxUI tomorrow, and here is the list features I have in mind for:

Edit blacklist/whitelist
File location chooser for the list.
Mode switcher
Start/Stop
Timed Activated list (This will take awhile, so it may not be in initial release).

If anyone has some other features in mind and wished to be included, please let me know.

sms blocker, there's already an app for that in this forum.

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

Wow very nice and I am waiting for good news came :)

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

the option to block unkown number.

when i were using wm phone . the call blocker do provide some alternate block method.
return as busy mode.
return as no signal mode

can n900 have those option?

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

Blocking unknown number is already (and will be in GUI) possible by editing whitelist/blacklist.

As for busy/no signal, the "no signal thing" can only mean silencing ringtone, and pretending that no one can pick up phone. App doesn't have access to operator side. Busy was of course automatically hanging up call.

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

I don't think that's possible with N900, but we can have the option:

1. Forward the blocker call to voicemail ( which is currently used)
2. Pickup and Hangup.

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

Is it not possible to just silence ringtone for blocked numbers? Also, hanging up isn't possible without picking up first? No big deal, anyway, asking out of curiosity.

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

Well, since you are asking, can we have a file to show activities of all blocked call. Just for personal satisfactory...

Plus, since you planned on creating a timed vesion, you may want to give people the option of permenantly blocking certain numbers regarlesss of time of day.

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

Would be nice to display (from CLI maybe) the
numbers callerx "believes" it is presumed to block.

still having trouble getting it to block calls,
perhaps it is related to the ubiquitous '+' prefix ?

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

+ prefix can be added to the list if it show up on the phone, another word, you can enter exactly what it show up on your phone. I need to edit the first post about + prefix, in US I haven't seen a prefix + showing up on my phone.

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

Well, if you provide a DBUS interface this should be possible with alarmed ;)
Keep up the good work :)
Bye

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

Starting work on CLI tools

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

thanks for this! Everyone here has been waiting for someone to finally create an app that can block private/unknown number calls.
I shall give it a go and see if it works :-P

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

yes it works!! Although at first try it didnt work but after changing from Uknown to unknown it worked.

Def made my day!

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

Alright, I tried this two ways:
1) With the 1 in front of the area code eg 1-234-567-8910 and
2) Without the 1 in front of the area code eg 234-567-8910 but none of the worked. Even I rebooted the phone but still nothing worked. The number was added to my blacklist.txt file in MyDocs. Any suggestions?

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

loose the dash - :)

should be 1234567810

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

That's exactly how they were put in... 12345678910 and 2345678910... no dash at all...

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

Just to make sure the app was running..

enter command xterm:

ps -ef | grep callerx

if not it may be the startup script didn't start the app. There has been problem with startup script having the DOS line in file.

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

It is running at the background.... I tried with and without the 1 in front of the number but still the call is going through... Nobody else is having this problem?

Interesting, though I have "unknown" (without the quote) in the blacklist, the call still went through after dialing *67 then my number. It came as Unknown Number...

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

Where can I find documentation for this?
I want to play with incoming sms...

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

With incoming sms you have to use qt mobility or get extremely mad...

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

********Problem Solved... Partially, at least **********
The problem has absolutely nothing to do with the program. It was my damn fault. I had my voice mails routed to google talk and when I called the number, it ended up ringing my phone.

But then, shouldn't it have gone to my voicemail instead of re-routing the calls to my phone. Yeah, I set my google voice up so that all incoming calls to my google voice number be forwarded to my mobile phone but not my voice mails.

Now, my question is how: is there a duration at which the phone rings before it routes call to voice mail? If so, could you make it such that calls be routed immediately to voice mails the moment, calls arrive?

By the way, is there anybody else with google voice setup as their voice mail handler and is having the same proble I am having? If not, could someone try this out and let me know if they're experiencing the same problem?

Thanks...........Great work.

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

We do hangup as soon as signal arrives. But it's a broadcast so all apps know a call has arrived.

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

since your call was routed to google voice and come back at you with your google number as call id, you can add your google number to block list but that is gonna block all other routed numbers as well, the only solution is go to google account and set it to display the original caller number instead of your google number.

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

That is exactly what I set it as... and it has always been setup that way, which was why when I called my cell from a different number, the number I was calling from showed up on my cell. Further, when I called with *67, the Unknown Number showed up.

However, when I checked my google voice account, the number showed up in my Missed call before re-routing to me. I simply can understand why/how this is possible.

Anyway, I appreciate all the help

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

Simple, Google voice doesn't use csd API.

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

Caller 0.1.3 * Added a Call Block button to powerkey menu, which is an option rejecting call and add that number to the blacklist when phone is ringing ( button is only visible while call is ative ).

Example: someone call you, call number show up and you think it's a spam or telemarketing number, just press the power key button to bring up the menu and choose block button to reject the call and it also add that number to the blacklist for you. I am still taking my time on the ui version. :-)

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

Callerx works,
and it is a basic phone function of enormous value.

I looked this up last week when my 'Fatal Attraction' stalker
decided to renew her pursuit,
and the first day or so of getting it working in my n900 were
frustrating but absolutely worth it.
Now I can leave the phone turned on at night again...

This new function will be of great value
