Let's say that a friend of mine sends texts to someone that he wouldn't want my, (erm his) wife to find out about.
Is there an SMS manager that will auto delete all texts to and from a certain number at 5pm, for example, each day?
My friend will be very grateful for any ideas.
look for a firewall app it wont delete them but it will hide them.
Not exactly a common request, so probably not.
Should be easy enough to knock up an app to iterate through the messaging inbox and delete anything from number x. So if you know VB/C#/C++, or care to put in a few days learning, it should be an easy enough project.
Who knows, you could even profit from it, and we could see AffairCoverup Pro(TM) released in MS' new app store.
Yeeaaaah. ACP(TM) We have a title. I just need to learn to program...

cool app ! I was almost sure that was not possible to do that !
SMS Organizer - should work for you
Try SMS Organizer ( search for SMS Organizer by trailblaze in google play store)
It can auto delete sms when the sms sender matches some predefined number or string.
Basically you can set 'rules' where you mention that if the incoming/outgoing sms macthes certain conditions (say the sender is so and so,or the message text has a certain keyword), auto delete/move it to a custom folder.
Great app to organize and manage your sms inbox bye the way.

Unfortiunately it's not free but IMHO PowerSMS is brilliant. It does everything you have asked and is worth every penny of the $9.95 they afre asking for it.

Yes... great and easy program... but it wont auto-reply sms messages with a sms message... (only missed voice calles).
scheduled sms
I found "Go SMS Pro". It i free and you are able to create scheduled sms (very useful for me).
But I don't think, that it (or any App) can reply a sms depending of the incoming sms's text. But the app has useeful Auto Reply functions too.
But it's a nice idea

Repli
There is an app here on xda in the Tilt or Tilt2 forums. It is called "repli". One of the reasons I stayed with WM.
I don't have the ability to upload the cab file, but you will want to read about it anyway.
Good luck.
Right now I'm using Handcent SMS and it's okay but I'm missing a very usefull feature: Marking some text in a recived SMS and send it to another app.
Example:
If I recive a adress then then mark it and send it to maps.
If I recive a appointment then mark it and send it to the calender
Is there an SMS app that can do this? and have all the other great features of Handcent?
I am not aware of an sms app that can do that. There are copy/paste apps that can get addresses over to Nav as a work around though.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
I'm using the copy/paste trick now but I think it culd be done easier.
Am I really the first one who thought of this?
I'm not a developer but I think it would be somewhat easy to make.
1. make it possible to mark out some of the text in a sms
2. pop up a menu with options: Save as.., copy, send to..
3. a sub menu to send to where it list the apps that should receive the text. maps, contacts, calender, whatever
Well now the idea is out there, then I home some developer picks it up
I want to know why some Apps read my SMS...
Downloaded "Go Keyboard" from the market and I think it is a nice App. But when I read the (German) comments, some people complaint about that this App can read your SMS.
What do you think?

If the keyboard should be smart it needs to learn from your typing. One way is to read your SMS/texts or emails.
So you think this is important for the app to work properly and can be neglected?
Maybe sounds like a stupid question but I am still an Android beginner.
Anyway there is nothing important in my messages that I should worry about...

As nothing is save on the internet... it's up to you. The app isn't unknown and widely spread/used, I'd not worry about giving the requested permission.
Other apps however... different story. Rethink your decision everytime an app requests permissions.
If the app works w/o that specific permission is something I don't know. There's an app that can restrict specific permissions, requires root and I sadly don't remember the name right now.
Of course an app can work without certain permissions. But those permission make it more powerful and add functions. If you chopped off your arms, you couldn't entertain someone with juggling could you ?

Just saying
I wondered the same thing! I recently switched to KelLMSKing MIUI Mod and now when I get an SMS, I get two notifications. One is Car Locator wants to read my SMS. It is a GPS App where I can save my car's position in a parking lot and find it easily again. I have no idea why it would want to intercept my SMS messages, so I Deny it.. I looked it up and apparently in some countries, you can pay for parking by text message, and receive reminders that time is running out. That's a feature I'll never use, so I'll just tell it to remember to always Deny that request. The other notification is from Touchdown, which gets my Exchange Server emails for work.. I'm not sure what SMS it would be looking for, so I'll deny them, too
As for the keyboard, I have no idea why it would want to read incoming messages or how that would help it to learn your style.
I think it's more of a perusal of the messages for commonly typed words so that it knows the best words to recommend and predict. Like a scan, to add your speech to the dictionary.
I don't believe any developer is sitting up at night reading my texts. If he is, he should hit me back and help me out with some of my problems. <_<
What is Facebook's excuse then?
edit SMS or MMS
Allows application to write to SMS messages stored on your device or SIM card. Malicious applications may delete your messages.
receive SMS
Allows application to receive and process SMS messages. Malicious applications may monitor your messages or delete them without showing them to you.
read SMS or MMS
Allows application to read SMS messages stored on your device or SIM card. Malicious applications may read your confidential messages.

Facebook just blatently wants info to target you for advertising... but because theyre so big most people don't care
Facebook needs that permission to verify your account. Afair there's an option to add your mobile# to your fb account.
An application in the market that has been around awhile should be fine. Google will remove malicious software as soon as they know about it. It is new apps asking these permissions that I would be weary of. I use the Go keyboard myself and love it with royal purple neon theme.

Hi, so basically this is my issue - I have a huge, huge pet-peeve over text speech (lol particularly). I have a couple of friends who use it excessively and I guess that is the trend these days, like the teen who got arrested over posting to facebook, "Got a dui and hit a car, lol!"
I'd like an app that could edit any incoming texts and just delete the lol (or any other keyword, or replace it, etc) so I never have to see it.
I did find one app called SMS Corrector, but the free version was limited and did not seem to work correctly on my device.
Are there any other apps that could do this?
Hello.
I'm searching for a little special app for messages (SMS).
I'm receiving from my job many SMS from our tracking system of network. The problem is, that it always came from different number (It's somehow generated) so it always start new conversation.
Is there any app, which can sort these SMS into one conversation by only part of number (the start of number is always the same) or by a beginning of SMS (the text always start with the same words)?
Thank you
Handcent

Can you please describe, where exactly I should set it?
I downloaded the app but didn't find anything like this in settings...
Any other tips?
I don't know if this works for you, but you could do this:
1 - Use this method to back up your messages to a Gmail label
2 - Create another filter in Gmail to label all messages with that specific content which you said every message starts with
3 - View that newly made label on your Gmail app/widget
I know this is a uselessly long workaround, there must be a better method to sort messages how you want to, but its just a thought...
Look up IFTTT. Install it. Create the following conditions:
If New SMS Contains:
*le filter*
Then Send Me SMS:
O
*original SMS*
Now all the messages will have the same number. But there'll be dupes.

So I will have SMS on gmail. That's not a good solution, because it will spam also my Outlook... (I have around 14 SMS per day...)

Looks interesting, I will test it
Only thing which doesn't look very comfortable is need of internet connection :/
EDIT: IFTTT is not the solution, because I will have the SMS doubled
