Call Blockers not Working on Pie.

[loonee2n]

Before my phone upgraded to Pie, I had a call blocker that worked perfect on Oreo. If you weren't in my contacts you were sent to voicemail and I didn't know you called. After the upgrade, I started getting phone calls from unknown numbers, so I figured the app wasn't compatible. I installed multiple other call blocking apps, but none of them kept my phone from ringing from numbers that they were supposed to block. I even tried the Do Not Disturb trick, but the calls came through on DND also.

Is anyone else having this problem, or has there been a suggestion of what to do? I'm asking before I get frustrated enough to root the phone and flash back to an Oreo ROM.

What app were you using? My phone hasn't upgraded yet and have been looking for anything that works.

Call blocker by vlad has pie compatibility. Or just download google phone dialer and use the integrated blocker.

I was using an app called Safest Call Blocker by Warez and it worked flawlessly. I never got a call outside of my contacts. It's no longer on the playstore, but I found the apk. I still have it, but it doesn't work in Pie. The closest app that I think will work the way Safest Call Blocker worked is Call Blocker by AndroidRock, but it doesn't work on Pie either. You could try finding the apk for Safest Call Blocker.

I tried both apps from vlad lee (Call Blocker, Calls Blacklist), Call Blocker from AndroidRock, Call Control, Hiya, and TrueCaller. Maybe a couple more. Someone on another forum told me to try Youmail, but I explained to him that Youmail doesn't like Prepaid plans, and I don't feel like subscribing to something.

I looked at Call Blocker by vlad after reading your post and it's a little different than the last time I used it. I'll give it another try. Thanks for the suggestions.
