Hello.

I think what may be looking for is Settings>Sound and notification>Interruptions. I remember reading somewhere interruptions replaced blocking mode.

Thank you! I found it and set it up. Not very user friendly. I like the other version better. I'm grateful for your help!

Ok here's how to get back Blocking Mode without root

Download: Check out "QuickShortcutMaker"

After installation you can choose this as a widget

Once you are in the app just search "Blocking Mode"
Baaaammm.... there you go.

Save the choice and you now have your old Blocking Mode back

Before the update to Lollipop the blocking mode allow you to forward calls directly to voicemail.
It will sends all calls from the selected caller directly to voicemail.

This setting that you show us, does work and does block calls. But when I test it, it
ring once and goes to straight to voicemail. I don’t want it to ring at all. When someone
calls, I want it to go straight to voicemail just like the phone is in sleep mode.

Thanks again for the info - OverLordOfYou
