Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Where did the Block incoming call setting go

[Davidoo]

On all my past Android phones in the dialer you could go to settings and see a list of numbers you blocked and add new ones to your blocked list. Where is this in 4.4.4?

OK, no one has figured out how to block certain callers by phone number on this device? On my prior S3 there was a call settings menu where you could block the last caller, add any number to the blocked call list, and review/edit the list of numbers you have put into the blocked call list. I can't even find a call settings menu at all on this device. Otherwise love the Turbo, but I'm finding the menus that come up when you touch the 3 little dots are bare bones compared to what was on my Samsung when you hit the settings/menu capacitive key. I suppose there is an app for this, but I know it is already part of the OS, it is just not showing up anywhere.

Only through Google Voice (from the desktop). And maybe some specific OEMs like Samsung used to have.

If you have the number in your contacts, you can go to that contact and from the menu select the number to be sent directly to voicemail. Not exactly a block, but it will at least keep the number from ringing in.

Just because it was on your S3 doesn't mean it is part of the OS (AOSP) . People knock TouchWiz all the time, but it definitely provides some features that folks rely on.

I hope you find a solution that works for you.

Thanks for the replies. I wouldn't go back because of how good this beast is, but I guess I do miss some of the touchwiz features. I'm sure there is an app I can find to do this. I know I can block incoming calls from the Verizon website, but that is maxed at 5 and you have to reenter every 5 days.

Seems like a good app, is it ad supported & if so, is there an in-app purchase option to remove them? I've come to detest ads and will gladly pay a couple of bucks for a good app free of them.

In the menu for individual contacts, there is a "send to voicemail" option.

I use this feature now. I entered a contact for "Blocked Caller" set to send to Voicemail and add any undesirable numbers to this contact. Works well enough but truly rejecting the call (gasp, ala iPhone call blocker) would be even better. Honestly, I cannot understand why it's not baked into the OS instead of relying on manufacturer customization.

Think Verizons is every 3 months. I have to reenter mine on the 16th. Works good too.

Try adding the number to your contacts, go to hangouts and block them from there.

The setting to send a caller to VM is under the contact. Select edit, then select 3 button in top right corner. A drop down will appear then check box send calls to VM.
