[APP] Root Call Blocker - need some feedback please

Hi guys, Im the dev of Root Call Blocker, a powerful blocking solution. There have been a few reports of people experiencing issues with the data connection on the X, which i dont have.

Could someone please let me know if this is indeed the case?

If you do find an issue please follow this procedure:

- as soon as you spot the radio without a data connection (not after a call) send logs through the "Write to us" item in Settings
- once youve sent the report, try using the Debugging tools found in settings
- if the tools do not help, please send another report - this will still help me track issues

Thanks in advance, PR after the break

I had it on the original One X, if you remember there were some issues with RCB in the early days of that device. I recently have moved over to the One XL and have had no issues at all with RCB.

I'm running CleanROM Dev Beta 4.5

Perhaps the problems people are having has to do with the new AT&T OTA?

Its possible - unfortunately noone ever writes to us before posting the reviews on the play store, so its hard to fix the rarer problems when i have no logs to look at.

Fixed issue that lead to intermittent blocking on JB and CM10

Go into your list setup. Press "Add". Scroll down and select "Add private and withheld".

The description reads: "Includes anyone calling from unknown, private, restricted and otherwise withheld numbers."

I am having some issues with root call blocker, basically I have it in hidden mode and when I type in the password it loads a black screen with the menu bar and nothing else, the menu bar is unresponsive. Will continue trying to send logs.

Also I am running nocturnal limited edition ROM if that helps.

EDIT: It seems if I clear my data I can get into it for a split second but once it is granted root permissions the screen goes black, I lose service, sim card has to ready itself again, and the same issue as I stated above happens again.

I have tried to fix this apparent issue, but on our one x everything works fine. Have you tried another launcher? Or another rom? I only say this because rare issues like this are really hard to track...

But aha! So, after doing a recovery install, call blocker wasn't doing its job. So, I restarted the telephony service, super user then asked to grant it access. We'll see if it works. But prior to this it wasn't even in the super user app list.

Sorry what are you saying? That whatever you did in recovery broke root call blocker?

I'm not sure that clicking "enable blocking" counts as a fix.

XNine said:

I didn't say anything about enable blocking. I said restart telephony is what I clicked. Enable blocking was checked off and the app wasn't working.

What you are saying is that somehow the app never had root. That is not a problem with the app, but rather with the user.
