Advanced Call Blocker for Android

Advanced Call Blocker v2.1.18 and Advanced Call Blocker Legacy v2.1.16

Upgrading from Advanced Call Blocker 1.5/1.6 to Advanced Call Blocker

Why?

In Android firmware 2.0 (See the FAQ for checking your firmware version) Google changed how contacts work. Any time you add a new contact using Android firmware 2.0 or above, it gets put in a different place than it would if you had an Android 1.5 or 1.6 phone. So what that means is:

1) If your phone's firmware is/was upgraded from 1.6 to 2.1 or higher, the app may still see your contacts, but won't see any new contacts added after the firmware update.
Or
2) If you have always had firmware 2.1 or above, the app won't see any of your contacts.

As a result two of the features may or may not work: Adding numbers from your Contacts and Blocking Non-contacts
