Thanks for the info

One more question: After connecting to wifi, I clicked on "Update database" for a manual update… but it didn't work. How to proceed?

Thanks!

Hello, Searching with "update database wifi" returned nothing. A 2GB data plan is enough for my needs. To save the ~200MB Call.filter uses to update its DB, I was wondering if it can be configured to only update when I'm connected to the Net through wifi. I found nothing obvious in the...

+33162300761 and +33162300950 For some reason, one got blocked as expected (since it's not in either phonebooks) while the other rang.

Hello Although I have CF set to block unknown contacts, and the number is in neither Android's nor my PIM's contacts… the phone rang. Why is that? Am I missing something in the Settings? Thank you. --- Edit: In the meantime, I added a wildcard since I also got another fake call with the same...

Thanks for the tip, I'll report back when I get the opportunity

I've only had two notifications like that, both SPAM. I guess they're getting creative. Carrier is Bouygues Telecom. Those are my current settings in Settings > Expert settings:

Hello, I don't know if it's specific to the Xiaomi+HyperOS phone I got some weeks ago, but at this point, I got this notification twice: "Voicemail payload not available yet, try playing audio.", with phone=Unknown. The voicemail is spam. 1. Is it a new way to by-pass apps like CallFilter...

It's the opposite: When a legit call comes in (I just got a call from my bank from a new number, so it got blocked; Considering the number and the context, I called it back just to check), I'd like to add it to Android's phonebook so that it's not tied to CF in case I choose to use another...

I guess you mean "Skip number in contacts". Since CF doesn't have it, I sugest adding the following item in the pop-up menu that is displayed when long-pressing a call that's been blocked: "Add to phonebook/contacts". Currently, the user must 1) copy the number into the clipboard, and 2)...

Hello, Searching for "save number phonebook" returned no hit. Apparentely, numbers I enter in CallFilter's whitelist are independent of Android's phonebook. Is there a way to sync the two lists, or at least one-way export CF → Android? Thank you.

Thanks, it seems to work fine now with the right options enabled. I'll try the Mute option when I get a new phone.

Thanks. I don't know the difference between rejecting/dropping/muting calls, but this phone is running Android 9, and the Mute option says it's only available with 10+ anyway, so that will have to wait until I get a new phone. "After that, calls will not be immediately dropped and will be...

Thanks. I don't want to block calls from unknown numbers, just 1) send them to voicemail 2) without ringing the phone, and ideally 3) only notifying me if they did leave a message (since spammers and scammers rarely do).
