Hi, I would like to confirm from you the translation of the following elements:

<string name="messages_array_address">Address</string> Address - refers to the message sent to a number (without it being in contacts)

<string name="messages_array_body">Body</string> Body - refers to the message received from a number (without it being in contacts)

did I understand correctly? Thank you

First off, thanks for this. Really fills the gap with the ability to block unknown callers missing from Android, especially when switching from iPhone.

I think it'd be useful to have a basic blocked call log and to get a silent notification whenever a call is blocked. If I'm expecting a call from a business or someone not in my contacts and I forget to disable the app, it'd be good to have this sort of information available. If nothing else, it'd be satisfying to verify that the app is working and to see all the calls getting blocked.

It would be very useful to have a scheduler to define days/times (i.e. by choosing the start and end times and the days of the week) when Silence could have different settings. This would allow to prevent unwanted calls at inappropriate times (weekends, days off, meals, meetings, nights, sleep...), but would let these calls go through the rest of the day (work).

With this, we would need a new option Do not filter hidden numbers. (to go with the request above)

Is it possible to implement it? Thanks

Hello and thanks a lot for this wonderful nerve-saving app! I have who questions:

1. If I turn on the main "Messages" switch but leave both "Inbox" and "Body" sub-options off what does it do? Does it control receiving messages or only calls from the numbers from messages?
2. Is the sub-option "Message" in "Contacted" mean that it allows calls from the numbers I have ever sent messages to? Or there are some time limits, because the call list may be years long?

Hi, not sure if this is an issue in your app or not, but I have the 'skip notification' option toggled, yet I'm still getting the "This number tried to contact you..." message. As this is not just a notification but rather a message, I'm not sure if your option is meant to prevent it... If not do you think you'd be able to prevent these messages?

Hi,

I would like to know if there is any way to setup in Silence to block any numbers that starts with "+65" but yet allows all numbers with "65" to pass through undisturbed.

Thank you

Hi thanks for the app!

Little accessibility issue. The main view on/off type button is always confusing to me, I can never tell if the text displayed is the current state, or the action the button will trigger.

I would suggest either a clear color change or a clearer text (like Deactivate and Activate for an action or "Silence is ON/OFF" for the state)

Device is a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE with Android 10 and OneUI 2.5. Silence v1.7.1. The app perfectly blocks all calls, including from contacts. When checking permissions under app info, it only had two, neither of them was for contacts. The app never asked me to allow access to contacts, either.

Hello! Any chance you could add an option to block calls from outside the country that the user currently lives in? I've never once in my life received a non-spam call from another country.

Thanks in advance!

If I turn "Skip notification" on but leave "Skip call log" off it seems that the rejected calls do not appear in the recent calls list, or anywhere else. I just don't know if any call was rejected. At least that is on Android 11.

I would like to temporary disable all filtering for numbers. What I can do for now -- is to disable rules for Silence but not the Silence blocking feature itself.

In the app/src/main/java/me/lucky/silence/fragment/SimFragment.kt I see this:

val enabled = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.S &&
                    Utils.getModemCount(ctx) >= 2

but in the app/src/main/java/me/lucky/silence/Utils.kt I see this:

        fun getModemCount(ctx: Context): Int {
            val telephonyManager = ctx.getSystemService(TelephonyManager::class.java)
            return if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.R) {
                telephonyManager?.supportedModemCount
            } else {
                @Suppress("deprecation")
                telephonyManager?.phoneCount
            } ?: 0
        }

According to the https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES.html the S means API level >= 31 (Android 12), but in the Utils required version is R which means API level 30 (Android 11).

So if there is no special purpose for a higher API level please lower it to R or better just remove checking the API level an change the SimFragment.kt from

val enabled = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.S &&
                    Utils.getModemCount(ctx) >= 2

to just

val enabled = Utils.getModemCount(ctx) >= 2

because you already validating the API level in the fun getModemCount.

Thanks for considering my request.

Resolves https://github.com/x13a/Silence/issues/106

Example regular expression to block all calls from area code 412: (\+1 ?)?412[0-9-]{7,9} Number formats this regex would block (as i am not sure what format underlying system exposes, I wrote an all encompassing regex):

+14121112222
+1 4121112222
+1 412-111-2222
+1412-111-2222
4121112222
412-111-2222

Also adds a header to main page and settings page so as to distinguish them. Navigation was quite confusing after minimizing the app and not realizing which page i am on... as all pages are settings/toggles in various categories. Just adding header in 2 places has helped a lot.

Please add Notification toggle for SIM 1 & 2 (allow all calls from SIM 1 & 2). Now, its hard to switch inside the app, sometimes I forget so some known unsaved contacts also blocked. If add its very easy to switch on and off from notification and its visible to eye also. @x13a

If number is blocked by silence, there is option to copy a number to redial again. Its hard to manually enter the number to dial pad. *** if add a option, tap to copy clipboard, we can copy a number to dial pad to redial or it helps to copy a number to find in caller ID app ****

Add this option on notification, if tap the notification of blocked number, it copy to clipboard.
