ethan@bww.com: The only quirk I have is the blasted pick up/hang up feture is acutally another auto answer feature.
mgutierrez: the fun thing is it worked on my treo 650 and also played mp3 songs for incoming calls. But for some reason the application now only shows pocket-tunes as the only player using mp3 ringtones. where did velocity-player go????
sometimes it is really unstable but since yesterday it worked. And now that I have purchased it it stoped working. Isn't that strange...
svtlghtng818: Program worked but everytime my phone stopped ringing (when the call would go to voicemail) it would shut off an reboot.. Strange... Other wise i'd buy it in a second!!
bvigier: The 1.3 version crashes my Treo 600 as soon as I go to the "About Box" :(
hdtravel: This application in the current version is unstable on my Treo 650. Causes continual resets. Nice ideas. Poor execution. Avoid at all costs until the bugs are fixed. I was using Ringo and it is rock solid, of course its features are more limited then this software. I am going back to Ringo until the bugs are fixed.
adam89117: I get a White Screen of Death every time I tell it not to log a phone call. If I opt to log it, it just hangs until I click on the "do not log" button - and then the WSoD. App is a good idea, but it just won't work. I'd love to see a bugfix - might buy it then.
2000 Man: Just software that's full of bugs. Causes massive resets that kill all of your passwords and settings. Avoid like the plague.
genecamp: Same issues here that everyone else with the 650 is experiencing. The most important feature that I wanted to work was the pickup/hangup feature. I wanted this to work so bad that I cleared all the other software off my 650, just to make sure that there were no program conflicts. It still didn't work. If all of the 650 bugs do get worked out however, I will be a buyer of this program.
bryencw: Great Idea, but... Locks up 650 (with no other hacks installed), 'pickup/hangup' feature picks up but doesn't hang up, won't stop altering the phone's status light even when that feature isn't selected. Not really useful in this state. Wait for updates before buying.
alidaanish: this does not work properly for the 650. Some of the functions work, and some do not. For me, the background music and the pickup&hang up option do not work.
But this is GREAT stuff- cant wait for it to be fully functional.
An option that should be considered is to send an sms if the call is ignored...ie in a meeting call you later or something. along the lines of shrkmsg's functionality.

Version History
V1.3.1 12/19/2006
- Disabled - Removed Velocityplayer for now. PocketTunes V3.07 or greater is the recommended mp3 player.
- Fix - Fixed bug that prevented answering on phone calls if the Stop Return Key from Answering is activated
- Feature - Added ability to lock Treo based on an incoming SMS message
- Fix - Rules have been updated to allow international phone calls to be filtered properly
- Fix - Modified LED control logic to work in unison with other apps that control the LED better
- Known Issue - Still adding international support for SMS messages
- Feature - Added ability to send SMS autoreply message if a phone call is missed
- Feature - Added ability to send SMS autoreply message if a phone call is ignored
- Known Issue - if you are on a phone call, and ignore/miss a call, no sms message is sent. This will be resolved shortly
- Fix - Fixed issue that prevented custom ring screens form showing up till AFTER the call
- Fix - Closed hole in CallFilter security, that would allow user access from the Attn Mgr screen
- Fix - Made additional changes to improve stability on Treo 650
- Enhancement - Restores playlist in PocketTunes V3.07 and greater
- IMPORTANT NOTE: Some programs are adding a feature such as "Prevent/Suppress Alarms during Phone Call". Examples of programs adding this feature is VolumeCare/ProfileCare/Butler, and perhaps others. If this feature is enabled in those programs, it will PREVENT CallFilter from properly showing ringscreens, pickingup/hangup, and other cool functions. These programs are using a function that was undocumented called AlmEnableNotifications, which Palm had initially indicated was for system use only. This function prevents any background processing from occurring during a phone call, and CallFilter does a LOT of background processing to make many of the features possible.
v1.3 (Build: Nov 22 2005)
- Temporarily disabled VelocityPlayer

HOW CALLFILTER CAN HELP YOU MANAGE YOUR PHONE
| DEFINE RULES
CallFilter lets you define a set of rules to help you manage your
phone. Similar to how a firewall is configured, CallFilter lets
you indicate who can call and when. In addition, it will let you
take direct actions based on the caller, such as: Play a MP3 Ringtone,
Send To VoiceMail, Ignore, or Hangup on the Caller.
You can also create rules for SMS messages also, so you can filter out
junk message, suppress SMS popups, automatically reply, or simply play
a special sound when an important SMS arrives.

'Business' calls your phone. The possibilities are
endless.

the incoming caller. No need to rush to your phone to see who is
calling. Just listen to CallFilter professionally announce the
incoming phone number digit by digit. |

Excellent application!!. I've been using it for just a couple of days and already
decided to pay the $30 registration. It is a true calling spam software.

by Len Greenberg
Excellent software and highly recomended. It is like a spam filter for the
phone. Very stable and works like a charm. Well worth the money for the piece
of mind it provides.

Should be more stars!!
First (and only) application to play MP3 ringtones on my Treo 600 and as such
worth every penny as I can now hear the phone even in busy train stations

by T. Rosenfeld
This is "must have" software for the Treo 600. Aside from providing badly needed
functionality, it's robust, stable, handles international and local calls perfectly,
and hasn't fallen into the traps some of the competing products have fallen
into of playing 1 second of ringtone before dismissing calls etc. I've tried
other apps in this category and have been deeply frustrated with all but this
one. Great work!!!
