New to Android
Hello I now have my first Android phone after the iPhone 3G and returning an iPhone 4 that dropped more calls than it made.
I loved PingChat on the iPhone because I could Ping my future wife and her children on their iPhones and iPod Touch devices.
I have started using the beta through downloading it on here and have had issues:
0.90 did not stay connected and when linking contacts it would delete them
0.91 does stay connected and deletes some contacts that I link
I am using the Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S) and am not rooted. It is stock software that I have done nothing to but sideload the PingChat .apk files using Droid Explorer. Anyone have some help? PingChat folks?

the DL doesnt work anymore for the 0.91 version, is there a new version? maybe someone get the link to it?

just google pingchat for android. like the 4th link has a DL for it
my pingchat id is facemob

Any new version after 0.91?!
My pingchat id is faitotrivelatto
Ping me!

Group's contacts calls intercepted in the booking period.

Looks great! I will try it out... seems that it is something like groups in Google Contacts or is there something really different? (except firewall!, I understand that the firewall is not possible in Google Contacts)

Thanks! Will give it a go. Looks to be pretty good already.
Perfectly executed ad placement, BTW

does it group your contacts by your google groups..?

Thanks, dewang!!!!
Edit: Slight spelling error: "Select photo form Gallery", should be "from".

Thanks!

Nice app! Since it's now in the Market, I will add it to next Monday's Last Week's Best Android Apps and Games roundup, like this one http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...-and-games-10410-101010-now-with-screenshots/

OK
Thank you for your interest.

I think I hit a bug but I can't reproduce it, so I think it only happens if you install and don't go to the options. Basically, the mass SMS option added all the phone numbers from every contact, instead of just the primary ones. When I went to the options, I saw that the default option is to actually pick the primary one and is already checked. Then I went back and tried again and this time it was fine - only the primary numbers were selected. Any idea why this may be happening? Do you not initialize your options perhaps?

Thank you for your feedback. I have found the problem, because the code and configuration files using the default settings are different. I'm adding new features. Completed immediately after the update.

Just what an android needed!!! Good job man!

I *really* like this contact manager, it has almost all of the features that I've been dreaming of having since I left the iPhone.
I have two requests:
I have contacts in my Google Contacts, and they and the groups they are in are showing up just fine. I also have an Exchange account, and those contacts are showing up as well. However, the groups from the exchange account are not showing up. Is it possible for you to add them?
I usually look people up by their last name, but can't seem to find out how to do that in the application. Is there a way to sort contacts by their last name?
Thanks!

[App] SMS Name Fix 1.0.2

In times of Win mobile i used SMS Fix application, that was trying to find contact by phone number in incoming text.
I was missed it on android and so decided to develop the same app for it
Sms Name Fix is this application!
In the current version it has the following features:
1. When you receive a text message with phone number
app tries to find the contact in your phone book by this number and display the name in message's text when success.
2. When you touch phone number in any text Sms Name Fix allows you to dial or send message immediately instead of basic android behavior!
Any suggestions and comments will be very much appreciated!
You can download app from Android Market http://market.android.com/details?id=com.exi.ps.smsname

Nice, app works on my Ics rom 4.0.4

I have installed this app.
Works like a charm!
Thank you!
What future plans for app? Any cool features?

Works great, thanks!

Yes, i've just added 2 new feautres in popup dialog:
1. Save number to existing contact if app found contact
2. Save number to new contact if not
Update will coming soon

Update 1.0.3 is ready
Added 2 new feautres in popup dialog:
- Show contact card if it has been found
- Save number to contacts otherwise

Great! I missing this one! It's very useful!

App seems to be very usefull.
I dont need function to add contact name in incoming text,
but the idea to extend basic android behavior with text and allow users to quick send message to unknown number is great.
I think that you can rename your app SMS Buns оr Simple SMS or something like that and add some more useful features like sending contact details via sms or email. That will be even more usefull for usual users cos they always use native firmwares.
What about small enhancements pack for Android?)

New version 1.1.0!
I changed app name to SMS Enhancer and add new feature. Now it
allows to send contact details as simple text via SMS or EMail instead of vCard.
Hope will be useful.

Exactly what i always need! Thanks

Can you please add in share contact: sharing of postal address too and IM's.
Thank you!

Hi, his is what I miss from WM6.5 but it no more in Google plays, can you please please to put it in there again. or have you changed the name of it.

[APP][1.6+] Balance update / USSD blocker

Hi Folks,
Some carriers send a USSD balance update message after each call, and sometimes after each data session on prepaid plans. This is very annoying, and SMS blockers won't stop these USSD messages.
I wrote an app to block USSD messages by keywords or regex. Works well for me in blocking my carrier's balance update messages.
My first android app, so please let me know if I can do something better.
Credits to commandus.com/blog/?p=58 for showing how to intercept these messages using the undocumented hook.
App is "com.melkote.quietbalance" on Google App Store. The v1.0 of the app is also attached to this post.

isn't working
Using galaxy s2 (AOKP 1CS ) If that matters.
I selected keyword and its not blocking ....
Edit: working, my bad didn't restart.thanks it's what i was looking for

Works perfectly (Galaxy S2 with CM9)
I've been looking for something like this for a long time but I just wasn't sure how to do it. I was told that these messages are not exactly USSD because USSD requires a code to be sent.
Also, thanks for the link to the blog with the sample code. I was looking for a way to make a widget that updates automatically using the intercepted message.

a big thanks
Thanks a lot, just what i need,i have requested for this in numerous forums, the only reply i got was it's operator based, contact your operator btwn you should reboot after seeting the matching words,
In my case the matching words are,last,call,
U can set this according to your ussd, n once you set you are ready to go,if some one wishes to be know their balance their can try prepay widget , n since it's not free i would like this feature to be incorporated in this app,
s2 running ics remix,

Hi Folks,
Thanks for all the feedback, here and elsewhere.
I've updated the app to ver 1.1 - this version adds a screen to show the last 25 messages and action taken (block or allow) and fixes a bug with blocking frequency.
You must reboot your phone if you update from 1.0 to 1.1 (or install either version).
As I'm a new XDA user, I can't edit the original post (due to presence of URL). So I've attached the APK to this post. If any moderators can move the APK file to the first post, it'll be great!
Thanks!

how to block idea data usage msg. ths app not banning class 0 message i.e. data usage

I'm on airtel n it's working for my data messages, so it should work on idea also
Just place the words that appear in your data balance ussd, like mb,last,charge,etcn you should be fine, you should reboot to get it started
from raj's s2

do an tutorial please

I'm on Airtel in India, and worked a charm - thank you very much!
I managed to use it on several messages that come through with different wording using the Keyword List.
Thanks again!
Now, what would be *really* useful is a widget that takes the info from the messages and displays the latest balance info - although there are other aps that do that

The messages have stopped, which by itself is a great relief......earlier by the time i had waded through the layers of OK i was missing calls! Thanks talkative.
But the beeping still continues. Is there any way to turn that off too or have i missed something in the settings?

Not able to block the message bal pop ups
Hi I installed this app but itz not able to block the msgs.
When I tried to send the bulk sms from my sms application, I still recieve the balance messages from service provider.
How to block the messages? What to write the message matching string for that?

Multiple options to match strings would've been nice.

s
Bydefault for the past few days my balance messages stopped. is there any way to activate it.

Works perfectly with Airtel. Just use keyword blocking list and add words like balance, validity, usage to it to block all messages. Thanks!

Hi, I just installed it today and was just amazed by it. Currently I am using Keyword blocking to block messages.
I would like someone to explain blocking messages using sub string and / or regular expression with example.
Thanks in advance.

It blocks the Message but Bip and Vibration is still there
Dear Developer,
Many congratulations for making such a wonderful app.
I found two problems with it.
1. It blocks the message but vibration and bip sound comes after every net session
(this has been solved by reinstalling) <s>2. When I send any code from my mobile to check balance e.g. *111#, it stop them too. I mean it keep showing "sending" on screen so message is not going out. </s>
I will appreciate if you look and check for above problems
Thanks

Source Code?!
Great work.
If it's not too much bother, is the source code available? I'm trying to implement a USSD interceptor and I was wandering if I can use your code as a starting point.
If it's not open-sourced but you are OK with sharing it please send it to me @

well, I have one problem. I don't see + sign and I can't input +38169...... ˙(kitkat 4.4.3)

Any different with apk from xda and play store paid?

Gonna be keeping tabs on this!

Hi
Just wondering how much is that secure?
Are datas in db encrypted or just hidden?

Hi,
Nice idea but I'm wondering if that work in every country or just in US
(I'm in France)

Hi Mate,
Thanks for this app...
Pretty useful in situations...Lol..
Cheers,
Max

Giving this a try now

Its gonna be one of the very useful app. Appreciate this work

My suggestion is to put some better screenshots that show the App's capabilities. Something like a before and after screenshot but don;t hide all the numbers.

does this cover google voice messages? and does it completely hide them from the log, so that there aren't 'questions' as to why something is locked? and then do i just ask reflection to open up, and it shows me per app notifications from specified email/phone numbers? kind of curious as to how it actually functions.

Very Interested in this as well.
Works well with Calls, Call Logs. Waiting for the update to work with SMS (maybe MMS) for certain individuals as well. That would be Killer.
Any updates on that?
I know they have multiple apps that claim to to work but they want you to use a completely new messaging app and I like Textra. HideSMS was awesome up until KitKat

Marshmallow
Has anyone tried this in Marshmallow?

Phone number with + on log history
Hello, good afternoon.
I´ve tried to use this app, but when I send a text mensage, our numbers is registered with [+] number.
In this case, the app does not recognize the number.
For exemplo:
+5565996291001 --> because the simbol [+] on phone number, that I can´t put on the app, it isn´t work.
Please, could you tell what I can do?
Thank you.
