They say the retail work dropped off a cliff, as we all know, so they were reassigned. This was done under Thorsten in 2012 but it may have been the UK Managing Director's decision at the time (he left the company last summer I think).

Call blocking apps need to be able to run headless and that is one area where the legacy OS simply embarrasses BB10. My favorite BlackBerry app ever was QuickLaunch. The real BlackBerry users will remember and love QL. It was a must have app in pretty much everyone's opinion. QuickLaunch is a headless app that adds shortcuts for tons of things - Apps, functions, contacts, sound profiles and many others - and just makes using a BlackBerry so much more efficient.
Sadly, apps like QL and call blockers are really hard to do with BlackBerry 10 due to its multitasking and headless applications limitations. I'm guessing Dave's "software" solution isn't an actual app that runs on his phone and blocks the calls. I take it he must be going through rogers and have the calls blocked with them the same way you would with a feature phone.04-05-14 06:15 PMLike 0 - I don't believe any BlackBerry OS version has native call blocking. At least I can't think of any that did. But I do know that BlackBerry phones have had the ability to do it with 3rd party apps for many years. Even real old devices like the BlackBerry 8100, from 2006, could use Call Blocker Pro.

- So the app actually runs headless and blocks the call as they come in? Or do you tell roger's the number to block and they block it for you?
I'm just curious if Rogers actually went to the trouble of making a headless call blocking app for BlackBerry 10. Like if you delete the app. Will the blocked numbers start coming through or will they all still be blocked based on your SIM card?
EDIT:
Never mind, I found the answer.

So your "call blocking app" is actually just a website where you can enter in the numbers for Rogers to block for you. You could uninstall the 1 Number app, and the calls will still be blocked because Rogers is blocking them, not the app installed on your BB10 phone.
Kind of isn't the same thing as a headless call blocking app like Call Blocker Pro is.Last edited by Raddin; 04-05-14 at 07:07 PM.

Specifically, I need the ability to add numbers to a blacklist. Any number on that blacklist gets blocked automatically without me needing to keep the app open or talk to my carrier.
Does BB10 have an app like that?TgeekB likes this.04-05-14 08:15 PMLike 1 -
- That's a shame, all of your misinformation got my hopes up. Thought for a second that BlackBerry 10 had finally caught up to the call blocking functionality of BlackBerry OS 4.5, but I guess not yet.04-05-14 08:42 PMLike 0
- The dumbest dumb phone in the world can do that kind of call blocking.
Do you mind naming these apps? Or at least one of them. I've been searching for a good call blocking app for my Q10 and I can't seem to find a single one. The only thing I see is all these apps that claim to be a call blocker, but do nothing except for turn off ALL incoming calls (something that is a built in feature of the OS itself). I can't find a single app that will do what Call Block Pro for the legacy OS could do 5 years ago.

How to use the 'Reply Now' feature on BlackBerry 10.2.1 | CrackBerry.com04-06-14 03:34 AMLike 0 - I'm saddened that there are so many here who supposedly love BlackBerry, hope for the best and etc etc, yet despise the classic OS, I'm totally lost on that, and the subject makes some of the posters get vicious. Oh well. I can only assume I'm in a tiny and hated niche because I think a new run of BBOS devices is actually pretty cool. I loved BBOS because it's what brought me to BlackBerry in the first place and has served me well for some years past.
I find little point one way in the other on questioning John Chen's decisions with all this "going backwards" bologna. They aren't making it their foremost product, and besides, that man has done more and is worth more than most of us here, I don't think his decisions are uncalculated.
An enormous amount of good ideas exist in BBOS. We'd be crazy not to take advantage of the work done there and incorporate much of it into BB10. But from a purely technical standpoint, BBOS is dated technology.
In other words, the *code* of BBOS is dated, but many of the *ideas* developed in it are just as relevant as they ever have been.04-06-14 03:57 AMLike 3
