I'm coming from a symbian background and have ordered a G1 recently. Been looking in the market place for a privacy application to screen and filter incoming and outgoing calls and sms's to defined numbers. I can not find anything that meets my requirements so am prepared to fund the development of one. (there are several available for symbian).
I've posted a job on elance and have had a couple of replies saying this is not possible in Android - I am suprised to say the least and was wandering if anyone here thought otherwise
heres the description:
------------
Job Description:
To provide an application to filter incoming and outgoing calls and sms. Effectively enabling 'private' communications from the phone.
For pre-determined numbers all incoming calls and sms can be filtered. sms notification disabled and moved to secure area. Calls rejected as busy.
All traces of incoming or outgoing calls and sms that are related to the numbers in the list are hidden.
The app should have the same functionality as Best Private Conversation for Symbian :

Will also require trial version time limited.

Appreciate any feedback
regards
The android supports sending call directly to voicemail, uner the contact info of the person. Also there are apps that cam move sms to a blacklisted folder, a trash can of sorts, you don't get a notification of this I believe. Chompsms has this functionality.
Also this is posted in the wrong forum. Please post in the application and games forum, there is a request thread there. This is for android rom/build development only
move this thread
Apologies for posting in the wrong forum - maybe an admin can move this post for me...
Please ignore this thread
I have started a new thread in the correct forum

I get alot of text messages from some people and my partner would like to be able to intercept those messages so he can have a copy of them on his Wizard. How would he go about doing that?
You want all you SMS messages forwarded to another phone?
think he want to set rules for which ones are forwarded
Your "partner" can't intercept them.. But you can do one of two things..
Either create a program intercepting all incoming SMS'es, always forwarding them to him. You could append the sender phonenumber in the body of the sms or something so he'll know who it is from..
The other thing you could do .. is write a client/server app, so when you get an sms, it's intercepted and posted to a homepage/server you have.. Your partner could have a clientversion which regurarly synchronizes the data from the server and adds them to the cemail.vol file.. making it seem that he ha got the sms aswell..
Another thing again .. you could just make another app which sends the incoming sms as an email to your partner.. Many ways to do this.. but he can not intercept them.. you have to forward them either as an SMS, Email or pure data via a server solution you code/develop...
"Either create a program intercepting all incoming SMS'es, always forwarding them to him. You could append the sender phonenumber in the body of the sms or something so he'll know who it is from.."
he can also make a program which only intercept sms's from a list of phone numbers or where surden texts or char's are present
but the program would need to run all the time and periodicly check for new sms's
i would like a program to reject sms messages or mms messages by phone number like i was able to do with my old phone.

I think I'll just go with the first suggestion. Thanks!
MOD EDIT:
this is obviously illegal.
lets move this discussion to the Q&A section

Hey all. Nearly 2 years have gone by since the last post in this thread and I know technology changes over time. I've done some reading about intercepting SMS/text messages but I was wondering if there are now any other ways to do this.
I want to be able to intercept text messages sent and received from one particular CDMA mobile phone number, or to have them forwarded to me without the person's knowledge. I don't have physical access to this person's phone, but if it helps I do have their ESN/MEID for their device.
I'm not so worried about intercepting phone calls or anything. I can get close enough to the user's phone though to be on the same cell tower as them if needed in order to intercept or have the SMS messages forwarded to me.
Are their any options for making this possible without direct access to this particular device? I understand the idea behind copying the identity of the target phone using a SIM card, but again, I don't have physical access to the phone in order to do that. Thanks!

Guys,
Isn't this illegal? You're literally asking to be the NSA or the government, snooping information without the person's information or consent?
Spying on a significant other?
Cheers.
good point. didn't read the last post.
Hello All
This is my very first post on this forum and the HTC Touch Pro will be my first Windows Mobile device, so a complete freshie in every respect. If I ask a question that has been answered before, it is not because I have not read other posts but that I do not know what I am looking for!
Historically I have had S60 and UIQ3 phones. On those, I have always made use of Call (Advanced Call Manager, Magic Profiles, Phonepilot) and SMS (MUMSMS, GINA, MCleaner) management and filtering tools.
I use the same phone for both work and business so like the facility to block calls and SMS accordingly. I also use the filtering facilities to hide call and sms log details from prying eyes.
I have searched for a call & sms application for WM6 devices but have not found one that seems to do all I want. Therefore, could I please ask your advice on which are the best app(s) that can hide received and sent messages (all types) and can hide the incoming, outgoing and missed call log for filtered numbers/contacts?
Additionally (and it may be silly to ask, considering the forum in which it is being asked!), can you give me your views of the performance of WM devices when compared to S60 & UIQ3?
Thanks
Hello, sorry i cant help u... but... can u tell me which of the S60 tools can hide sms/calls? Thats a very very nice idea... hrhr...
Hello
On S60 v3 it's called Symbianon Private Call & SMS Guard
CallFirewall, MagiCall are 2 filtering tools i know from scratch... but there are also tools around for e.g. secretly moving special sms from your ex-girlfriend to a hidden / passwordprotected folder...
Hi
Thanks for the reply. Do CallFirewall & MagiCall actually remove incoming, outgoing and missed calls from the phones call history?
Thanks
Soon HTC Touch Pro owner
Hi harjm!
I'm exactly in the same position, totally new to WM devices, have been a Symbian follower since the Psion 5 days.
I was looking for the exact same stuff you're looking for and I found this one:
http://www.pocketx.net/products/photocontactspro_ppc/
and it seems like it is what we are after
Thank you to all the developers on this site. It has answered already most of my queries that I had upon receiving my new HTC Diamond 2.
I am very happy with the device and using some of the tweaks and programs the phone is now nearly set up exactly how I want it.
However there is one feature that I think is missing. As standard the HTC D2 will allow a call to be rejected and a standard text message be sent. But this will be sent to all callers.
I do not want to spend money sending a sms to cold callers for example. Just wondering if it would be possible to create an application that could expand on the standard function.
Some ideas for the app would be:
Send sms only to contacts in the address book that are included in a catergory or multiple catergories.
Send a different sms depending on the catergory of the contact.
Set up profiles to define the reason for not answering call, eg in meeting, driving, sleeping etc
Of cause the above list is not exhaustive.
Would like peoples opinions on this function and whether some one would be able to create. I would of course offer to test the app. Sorry do not have the current skills to create the app.
In advance thanks for reading this message and for replies.
Got a Desire Z with Cyanogenmod 7.
The SMS app displays only with whom I was in contact but it does not indicate if I received the SMS from that person or if I sent it.
I tried a couple apps from market but they were all alike, including GO, Pansi, one other I already forgot. (Plus they had tons of features I don't need, ad supported. I need something *simple*.)
Suggestions appreciated.
I don't really get what you are asking for. Sms to and from one person are grouped in conversation. You can see which sms you sent by looking at the alignment of the person's picture (or placeholder for that). If you wrote it, its right-aligned.
I believe the OP is asking like the other NON-Smart phone SMS display like you see messages in folders with Inbox and Sent items.
Well in android, I have no need for that coz grouping is the next generation and much logically displays your logical conversation.
Still you can do all your SMS tasks with this.
Did you try Handcent sms app?

Hi Team,
Wanted to know which application is there in Google Play store which can secretly save the text messages and call logs of the Phone without the user who actually is using the phone. Secretly means no notifications should be shown on the status bar and it should run on the background.
For e.g. If parents want to give their child a phone and want to keep an eye on them, then they can install this application so that even if child deletes the contents of SMS/Call logs, then also parents would come to know what they had been doing as the contents of the SMS along with other necessary information would be saved by the application on the device.
If there is no such app yet developed by anyone then would request you to have a look into the same.
I know of no such app available but You will have better luck posting this in the General Discussion -> Question and Answers forum instead of here in the general.
