| dreamer | does anyone have experience with blocking phone numbers? | 13:46 |
|---|---|---|
| dreamer | I see there is a daemon called Callerx, does it work? | 13:46 |
| KotCzarny | i'm using pycallblocker | 13:48 |
| KotCzarny | it seems to work fine (sometimes need prodding tho) | 13:48 |
| dreamer | prodding how? | 13:48 |
| KotCzarny | entering the config and adding/removing something | 13:50 |
| KotCzarny | seems that it can forget to load list on device boot | 13:50 |
| bencoh | meh :/ | 13:53 |
| dreamer | I see callerx has a gui. I'm a sucker for guis. so will try that one first :P | 14:06 |
| dreamer | (it's a bit newer than pycallblocker too, so who knows it's maybe more stable ;) ) | 14:06 |
| KotCzarny | pycallblocker has ui too | 14:06 |
| dreamer | ok, well too late :P | 14:10 |
| dreamer | if I still get stalked by this one number I'll give pycallblocker a try ;) | 14:10 |
| sixwheeledbeast | callerx worked better for me | 14:11 |
| sixwheeledbeast | There can be a delay in call blocking if the system is under load | 14:12 |
| KotCzarny | yup | 14:12 |
| sixwheeledbeast | So you can experience 3 rings before blocking on the first call | 14:13 |
| sixwheeledbeast | assuming the blocked number calls you a number of times in a row | 14:13 |
| sixwheeledbeast | If it's spam I would normally report to telco, if it's just someone yo don't wish to speak to or filter callerx works ok. | 14:14 |
| KotCzarny | here they usually use indetifiable voip range | 14:17 |
| KotCzarny | so easy to differentiate from random calls | 14:17 |
| KotCzarny | *identifiable | 14:17 |
| bencoh | /60/60 | 14:19 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I also tie really annoying calls in with per custom ringtone to have a silent ringtone. Just because i use that | 14:19 |
| Vajb | dreamer: I use callerx. It has nice feature. If you reboot your phone you need to do disable-enable in gui. Otherwise it will block all calls | 16:16 |
| Vajb | but I use it in whitelist mode. If number is not in my list, it'll be blocked | 16:17 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Vajb: IIRC that issue seems to only happen with whitelist mode. | 16:19 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I prefer blacklist myself, you never know who may need to call | 16:20 |
| Vajb | yeah I thought so and included in my comment after a thought | 16:22 |
| KotCzarny | so callerx needs prodding too? | 16:23 |
| Vajb | nowadays I keep it off since spamming has degreased a lot | 16:23 |
| Vajb | might as well purge it, but then who knows | 16:23 |
| dreamer | Vajb: oh, that sounds pretty bad .. so it doesn't load the blacklist but just blocks everything? o.O | 16:42 |
| sixwheeledbeast | IIRC on boot it seems to think you are in blacklist mode but your whitelist is loaded. | 16:46 |
| Vajb | dreamer: it loads blacklist I guess, but I used whitelist mode | 17:01 |
