I've got an htc EVO 4G. I was looking for an application that will allow me to lock selected text message threads, not the eitire app. I use handcent and I know that I can set the security to lock the application, but that's too tedious for me to do every time I want to text, I just want to block certain threads. I know you can blacklist them but that just hides them, I"m not sure if you can set any type of security to the blacklist? Thanks for any advice help.

i know there are plenty of sms scheduling apps out there but i find it nice to ave enevrything in one place. i also know that go sms supports the 'sms scheduling'. the only way i have found to do this however is highlighting a previously sent message and selecting the 'convert to schedule message'. id like to be able to make my own message without sending it, and then schedule to send it at a specific time and was wondering if it was possible in go sms because i havent found it. thanks!
Try handcent
i am pretty sure that handcent does not support that feature yet
Has anyone worked out how to use this properly yet?
Ignore this post
The way I use it is to have it set to pro version. When you are on the messages page just swipe the screen to the side and it will change to "folders" and/or "plugins". In the "folders" page there is a scheduler in there.

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.
Sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA App
I have looked at xda, android central, incredible forums and the play store, but i have not found an app/mod/script that will do what i am looking for. I was wondering if it is possible to clear your notifications the moment you get them. This way, your phone will ring/vibrate when you receive a notification, but that notification won't be on your status bar. I have found apps that do something similar to this for SMS, but i don't use SMS, instead i use textfree because i don't have a texting plan. Even some method to modify (change the icon, notification tag, etc.) the notification when i receive a text from textfree or from facebook messenger or any app will suffice. My device is rooted, so i dont care if the method requires superuser permissions. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could make something that will do this, or could share a method for doing this. Also, if you would like this as well, please post!
I have found a way to do this. you have to go to settings -> applications -> and choose the app. from there, uncheck the box for notifications, and you are good to go.
Just realized i cannot block incoming calls / messages on this device? Used to be able to do it on my last 3 handsets but not this? This sucks as its a feature that should come with ALL handsets in my opinion! In a world where where bullying is rife and one f the methods used to bully is texting , let alone just general harassment from unwanted numbers and so forth ! To have a feature that enables you to take control and block this kinda crap is vital if you ask me! I understand to some people this may be no big deal but i see this as a huge disappointment!!
However,i assume theres little i can do about it so does anyone know of any trust worth and reliable apps that will do the same job?
I've not had a phone that could do it natively but my last three phones were Nexus devices so I always had CM or SlimROM which add this feature. sorry to hear you suffer abusive messages, I only needed it for blocking sales calls and crap like that.
There are a few apps in the Play Store that will do this but I hear good things about this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vladlee.easyblacklist
Apparently it does have a bug though where it drops an active call if a blocked call or message comes in at the same time.
You can add a number to your phone book then select "All calls to voicemail" in the contacts app.
1. Add the contact.
2. Go to dialer, swipe to the contacts
3. Edit the contact
4. Press the 3 dots on the top right
5. Select box - "all calls to voicemail"
This is the only option I can find for calls. Not ideal though as they can leave a message
As for texts, maybe an alternative text app?

Cheers man, thats summit i guess! Not ideal though as you said! I use textra as my default sms app but unfortunately no block feature on that either! I think vodafone have an app i can download. I might look in to that Needless to say this is only available to vodafone customers so i might be lucky as iam one
now you can block sms on your expiria z
What I did? I just downloaded an app from Play store named CLEAN INBOX, Installed it and made it as my default sms provider. Then I upgraded it to premium version for 0.79€. Premium version automaticaly blocks and deleats all unwanted sms from your inbox. Then I disabled my default sms provider. You can do it in settings / apps/ sms / and disable it or force stop. Your phone will be fully functional without it. Good luck and rnjoy your phone without any disturbers
I find it hard to believe that nobody thought this was a necessary feature, so it must be a restriction of the OS.
I don't want to archive my 2FA texts from various services, or SPAM, or provider notifications indicating that I've entered an extended coverage area.
I just want to delete them directly from the notification bar.
Yet, there isn't a single app I've found that allows this.
There are several e-mail programs that let you do this, but not text messaging apps.
You have to open the app and delete it from there.
Why is that?
Is anyone working on this?
