Feature: block by caller ID name
Closed this issue · 2 comments
I get spam calls from a certain caller ID name but they're always using random numbers with random area codes so I can't regex a number to block them. Their caller ID name always shows up the same though.
That caller ID is displayed by the default call app, it relies on some built-in database. When the call is intercepted by the Caller ID app, there is no information about the name.
To confirm this, I reverse engineered the Samsung call app: adb pull /system/priv-app/SamsungInCallUI/SamsungInCallUI.apk:
It shows log:
SCallUI : PhoneNumberLocatorRepository - query: start
...
SCallUI : PhoneNumberLocatorRepository - query: onSuccess, cursor count: 1, uri: XXX, timeMillis:24
SCallUI : PhoneNumberLocatorRepository - putIntoCache : PhoneNumberLocatorModelImpl{ mLocation : XX Telecom }
The XX Telecom is the result of this query, it's displayed as Caller ID name, the related code:
Ah, thanks for looking into it and sharing the info. I guess this is probably why no other app has implemented it too. Shame the mainstream apps don't implement it since they likely have access to the databases.
