I've been using BuzzOff since it was 1st released and have had some issues but the most prominent one for me is that the app doesn't block at all when I have anything other than the homescreen open on my device. I've been using 1.2 and am just now installing 1.2.2 hoping this issue is fixed.
Half the time the calls that are supposed to be blocked are instead connected when I have anything open on my BB.
after you installed the beta goto the prefs in buzz and set the block and hangup delays to 800ms or 1 sec
Yeah I noticed if you decide to set the permission during the install procedure it won't stick. You have to go back into your app listing and edit the permissions and change them to "allow" after you have installed/rebooted your device.
The blocker not working happens when those aren't setup properly.
I applied the same setting as XPerties posted but not with the same results.
Call
1. Rang about a sec went to vm
2. Same
3. Worked as should no ring Hung up
4. Rang/vm
5. No ring but still vm
6. No ring hung up
So no idea why the random results. Could it be BerryBuzz causing a conflict as it is listening for incoming calls for the LED/Vibrate and Ring feature?
Did you changed the pickup and hangup delay and then test the call a few times, then edit the delay again and test etc etc?
Also have you confirmed the permissions are "all" set to "allow"? Not having them all set to allow gave me crazy results like the ones you are getting.
Running the latest beta version? 1.2.2?
Yes, Yes, and Yes
Here is the latest beta
1 install ota http://www.toysoft.ca/beta/BuzzOff.jad
2 Reset all permissions to allow in the Options->advanced->application app for buzzoff after install
changes
---------
- added save incoming calls to the call log. You need to turn on call log in the Preferences. to view logfile goto the BuzzOff menu.
There you can call and block callers from the logfile.
recommend that you clear the logfile regularly as it will get big. the logfile is saved on the Sd Card in the Blackberry folder. if you dont have a sd then look in main memory in the Blackberry folder also
I've tested several configurations, mostly while the device was locked, or while sitting at the home screen. I also receive random results. I am NOT using BerryBuzz. To me it seems like the delay feature sometimes not accurate?
Is there any word on the 1/2 sec ring issue? Sometimes it rings, other times its entirely silent I noticed. Tested about 30-40 calls from another line to find good delay settings but nothing 100% accurate yet! (Rings, or sends to VM instead of picking up and hanging up!)
So far this has been the best call blocking app and would definately like to keep it. Works much better than Call Block Professional for me. Smiley88 keep up the good work!
I can also say since the last update the call blacker is working sporadically....Meaning sometimes I hear the ring and sometimes I don't BUT ALL calls show a missing call reminder on my screen however I have all my settings set to pick up and hangup which should NOT give me the missed call alert.
Your right, it shouldn't show it if its PU/HU enabled, but check if its sending them to voicemail. I have a few issues where its set to do one thing but always sends to voicemail, i've tried messing with the delay times as well. Do you have another line to test from?
Big issue with this app that up until today was driving me crazy.
For the longest time I couldn't figure out why when I was on a call if another call came in it would hang up on my call and answer the other line. Well I finially figured out it is for blocked calls.
So if Im on a call and a blocked call comes in it auto hangs up on my current call and leaves me saying "uhhh hi" to my blocked call.
Can this be fixed ASAP? If not I have to dump this app and find one that does work. Maybe an ignore while on the phone check box.
contact [email protected] for a workaround.
I have the exact same issue with BuzzOff, except my options are set to pickup and hangup and it does pickup but hangs up on both my calls. Very frustrating because no matter what option you select, you either talk to the blocked caller or lose the call your already on. :(
I tried contacting support about several things and this is the email about the bug I sent to them:
RenzoreK
ToySoft SupportCode:
I purchased buzzoff and I would first like to say the app is great and for the most part blocks a call before it gets to ring but I noticed a few bugs I would like to bring to attention:
1) Contacts with multiple number entries get an extra digit prefixed to the number. e.g. A caller with a work number as 123-555-555 and a mobile number as 123-666-666 will often show up as 1123-555-555 and 2123-666-666 and so forth, but does not display this way on the phone application only on buzzoff.
2) When a call comes in on call waiting and is set to pick up and hang up, it will answer the call then hang up, ending both calls. Definitely a major inconvenience!
3) Occasionally the app will send to voice mail when set to pickup and hang up, I think it may have something to do with the delay settings oddly enough.
App isn't perfect but still good, thanks for always stomping bugs and improving your product I will introduce it to my friends soon![/QUOTE]
I received a response asking for extra details on bug #1 but nothing else. Still awaiting a response. I'm really hoping this is fixed, the bug is definitely a big one in my opinion (and other users as well apparently) and should be worked out if possible.
RenzoreKCode:do you have the latest version?
with the problem phone 1 and phone2 is this coming from when select
block from the contacts or calllog app?
ToySoft SupportCode:I believe I do have the latest version, its v.1.3.1 and the bug appears in the call log, not when blocking from the contact list (that works nicely, allowing you to select individual numbers).
Just curious, Is there anyway where the call log will display blocked calls only? It logs every single call and becomes a task to go in and wipe it every day or two.
RenzoreKCode:you can goto the prefs in buzzoff and adjust the delay. try 100ms and see if calls are being blocked.
if not then select a higher number eg: 300ms
Code:The calls are being blocked fine, I checked from separate lines, even with trying different delay settings sometimes it will send the call to voicemail (end call input) instead of picking up and hanging up (accept call input, delay, end call input).
Thats about all the communication I've had with them 3 days ago when they emailed me back. Hopefully they are working on something.
Smiley88 can you give us any details on if this is being worked on or looked into?
RenzoreK - Yeah they don't seem to be helping all that much do they.
Smiley88 - I'm not sure why I would need to send an email in when this issue seems to affect other users but I did send an email just a few minutes ago.
