To add a number to your black list you need to open the contact's page such as Scott's
shown to the right here and then press on the menu button on the handset. This will open up a small menu at the bottom of the screen with 6 options. The option you need to select is more then "Add to black list" when the option comes up.
When you've added the black list you will see a little blue sign next to the persons number (as seen next to Scott's number in this picture). If Scott now tries to call my Samsung Galaxy S2 he'll just hear a dial tone as if my phone was switched off! Now I can avoid the ginger virgin with ease.To remove a number from black list you can follow this method but click on "Remove from black list" when you previously clicked on "Add to blacklist".
Although you stop the calls coming through you DO NOT prevent the number from sending you texts.

Doesnt work on my galaxy s2 ive put person on the black list and i can see blue sign on the right sight but person still can call mei dont know why
ReplyDeleteAre they calling you with a hidden/with held number?
ReplyDeleteThis was working for me on galaxy s2, the version was 2.3.3
ReplyDeletelater I upgraded it to 2.3.6 and blacklisting stopped working, I guess this is a bug in 2.3.6
This guide was written for 2.3.3, I've just checked on 2.3.5 and noticed at least 1 other stage so I'll get the guide done for that in a few hours. It was a huge over-sight on my behalf, I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteScott.
Right OK read this new article: http://www.mobilephonetipsandtricks.com/2012/01/how-to-blacklist-numbers-on-android-235.html
ReplyDeleteWhen they changed versions a small change was made that I never noticed. It's small and you can easily stop the calls with out too much fuss even though it was an unnecessary change by Android.
Scott
