Help:Call Firewall

I can't get this app to work properly. I have the mode set to Black List and Ask before replying checked but all of the calls on the Black List comes through everytime. I have an HTC Touch (Sprint). Any suggestions?

Is it running under task manager. I know it seems simple, but you've got to tap Save and Minimize for it to run in the background. If you hit Quit, the program closes. Took me a couple of tries to figure that one out. Which version are you running?

Wow....thanks-I would always stop it from running in the background. I didn't know it had to continue running. I am using version 1.4

I still can't get this to work properly. I have it running in the background but numbers on the Black List still come through and ring as if they are not on the Black List. I have the mode set to Black List. What am I doing wrong?

What i did is mark check unnkown/private calls and do not show running in the background and set mode to black list now check your call history and see if the incoming call have 1 before the area code if it doesn't then the numbers have to enter it without if not the other way around the point is that is has to match the exact number and the way you receive your calls with or without 1 before are code tap black option then tap number and see wich way you have it and if you do any changes always tap save then back then save & minimize and check if should work now

Yes, thats's a good point. When you add a number to the black list, you have to hit save. I like using the last caller button to add numbers to the black list.

This program never worked for me.. It always allows the call to ring at least once if i have the block on.. And its a problem thats stated in the FAQ.. thats why I stopped using it.. what good is a call blocker if your phone still rings?

Never could get this to work on my Touch Pro, either. Magicall works great.

I heard somewhere that it was a cdma problem that made the call ring once. Not sure if they were correct, but that's what I had heard.
