Control unknown incoming

Block unknown calls with no numbers are displayed. Unknown means that it shows only private or unknown and no numbers are displayed. Please note that unknown incoming is not a call from a number which are not registered in your address book.

There are three types of unknown calls “calls from anonymous callers” “calls from public phones” and “calls from undetected areas”.“ Android sold in Japan cannot distinguish these three. Therefore please note that if you reject unknown calls, you also block calls from public phones and undetected areas.

If you use the Docomo line, we recommend that you use their “Caller ID Display Request Service” Some models sold outside Japan can distinguish these three types. In the future, we will consider to support this function when models in Japan become able to distinguish.

FAQ

Android OS is customized by each maker. Therefore blocking incoming may not work with some models.

• No ring tone but calls are transferred to voice mail.
  → Check “ Disconnect after connected” at settings window.
• If you check “Disconnect after connected.”, it will not disconnect after incoming is received.
  CallFilter disconnects incoming calls after once connected not to transfer calls to voice mail. by checking “Disconnect after connected.”
  “Call” API cannot be used since Android OS2.3 and after . Therefore CallFilter connects the line with another method. However, with some models such as HTC, we cannot use the method. In this case, disconnect after connected cannot be done. This is a restriction of the application.
• Not disconnected at all at incoming.
  Turn “Disconnect after connected.” OFF.

Unable to block incoming at all.

See “READ ME” and confirm if all the settings are correctly set and conduct the test. You can use “ Not Block incoming! “ at settings window to see the status of last call to check if there are any mistakes of settings. We have received feedback from many users so far. The following are the common questions.

• Misunderstood an Unknown Call is a number which is not listed in the address book and no numbers are registered in the Filter List.
• The incoming number is not registered in the Filter List. Concerning reports about transferring to voice mail, the reason for the most cases are because CallFiter does not block incoming.
  
• The check box of block incoming is OFF.

Sometimes failed to block incoming.

There are some case of failure due to the load of the phone, condition and timing. If you delete entering number (beginning part match) or incoming numbers not in your address book, the failure may occur less frequently.

When incoming is blocked, the ring tone becomes silent.

It may happen, if you have applications for incoming block or changing ring tone. Please uninstall applications related the functions of incoming.

Sometimes when incoming is blocked, ring tone sounds just for a second.

Because the process is done after incoming is received, ring tone may sound for a few seconds. If you select the ring tone as no sounds for a couple of seconds, it may be avoided

If I set to block unknown calls, calls from public phones are also rejected.

There are three types of unknown calls. “anonymous caller” “call from a public telephone” and “call from undetected areas” . Current telephone programs cannot distinguish these three unless carriers modify them. If you reject unknown calls, please note that you also block calls from public telephones and calls from undetected areas such as international calls.

SMS cannot be blocked.

Please check if some applications related to SMS are working.
It may be caused because some models are customized by makers.
We cannot fix this problem because makers have implemented non standard actions.

The indicator is displayed as a black dot

Some models cannot display the indicator properly.
Please try the following.
・Set 0% for the transmission rate.
・Set 20dots for the size of indicator.
If it is not improving even with the above settings, please stop using indicator. Turn “ notify to status bar” ON and use notification by icon.
