Research direction

The blocklist logic lives in the Android dialer code of this Kotlin app, and the report gives no file or function to start from. Reproducing needs a device or emulator with the app installed and a blocked number. Done would mean incoming calls from blocked numbers are rejected again on Android 14/15. The issue has eight comments with no fix, no linked pull request, and no recent answer, so treat it as contested or hard to reproduce.

  2. The numbers don't get blocked, and the calls still happen

Actual behavior

Now, the calls aren't rejected, and can go through, as if they weren't blocked

The calls are getting through:

Additional information

Nothing really changed on the 2 phones. I will try to test it on other phones, but the issue seems to be the same each time. I don't really know where to get regular logs, I would be happy to provide them if I can find some.
