[Q] I need a messaging app which shows... - HTC Sensation

Hello everybody.
I'll try to explain what i exactly need, sorry for my poor English.
This app should tells me, the phone number written in the message is your X contacts number. It should goes to my contacts and if that number is one of my contact, adds its name next to number
My operator sends me message who called me while my phone is off. But i can see only number, not the contacts name.
Here is an example if I can't explain it to you clearly.
Original message;
+90123456789 called you three times and +90987654321 called you once.
What i want to see;
+90123456789 (mom) called you three times and +90987654321 (boss) called you once.

Don't think there's any messaging app for this, I too have this issue but it doesn't bother me, just call and hang up to see who's the caller.

Give go SMS a try

I know CM6 has it native. You can add it in call settings under the blacklist, or when the phone first calls you, as its ringing hit menu, add to blacklist.
That depends on what time of the day. lol. i use red dawn for the most part and cm6 nightlies just to toy around with.
I used sms guard for awhile and it worked great. Never even saw the messages.

does android even need a firewall or antivirus? ive seen both on the market but i am hesitant to install as they used to slow the hell out of my winmo phones in the past.
Afirewall is the name of a specific application.
aFirewall, realy the BEST
I'm pretty sure tasker can block calls and texts.
Try Super Private Conversation, works to block the 9016 text too!

I believe you can blacklist them temporarily. Its in the edit contacts form. Hope this helps.

Add the number as a unique contact and then edit the contact where you would change the ringtone, in there is an option to send it to voicemail. At least on AOSP, dunno for other skins.
Or if you want to do it in a more complicated way...
Try Tasker, that will let you blacklist people, depending on your location, the time of the day etc etc

What is the best call blocking app???

What do you use???
What is the best call blocking app. I need to block unknown numbers and stupid telemarketing call. I also need it to log all call not just block them.
Paid and free one's.
I have not rooted my phone yet.

I use an app called Mr. Number. It logs all calls that are made to your phone, and there are various options. I have mine set to allow all calls from anyone in my contacts list. All other calls automatically go to voicemail, and I always have the option to go back and add a previously blocked number to the whitelist. There are other options/things that the app can do, but that's mainly what I use it for.
Because of that, I am only using the free version.
just place the number in your contacts & if you can send them directly to voicemail from there & it won't ring your phone.
just go to teh contact, click menu then click "options" then click the checkbox next to "incoming calls"
that is how I do it. Sure it fills my contact list more, but its the easiest way to not having my phone ring
Root call blocker if you never want it to get sent to your phone at all. Its the only one that does that. All the rest just send to voicemail.

+1 for Mr. Number. Worked great for me.
I've been wanting to use a call blocking app, but how bad does it affect the battery life?
Just use the reject slider, "is da best"
G2X
I use call blocker gold. It has many options but not one call blocker I have seen does what CM7 does built-in and that's send the call to an infinite loop of ringing. There is a Phone.apk and Contacts.apk for Froyo in the HD2 Android section that does this.
Personally, I would rather send a not wanted caller to an infinite ring than to my voicemail. Hopefully, it will be incorporated to the new ROM's coming out.
If you are getting telemarketer calls, get on the do not call list....it's that simple. Anything else...Mr. Number. Just know it doesn't block the calls--that's impossible to do from the handset. It picks up and then hangs up the call.
Call Blocker
Been using Easy Filter. Works great, logs calls rejected and real easy to add numbers to block list. Gives you several options on how to handle blocked calls as well.
I should of said this before, I needed a feature like black list option from my G1 with Cy rom.

Afaik, the only way to do that is by modifying phone.apk and contacts.apk. I am pretty sure the blacklist option is already incorporated in current cm7 roms for the g2x.

Is there an option to send it to an endless ring? Are there any call blockers that can do that? Or any call blockers that will forward the call to a number of your choice?
google voice
use google voice best gives you de option to even screen call to know what they want u can just port u current number for $20 or get one for free u get free calling all over us i just ported my number when i got my g2x use every day voice-mail to text love it to read about it

Cm7 blacklist
Yep, the two best ones are made by the same company:
Root Call Blocker (for general use):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta
Call Master (for advanced users):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist
These are the only blockers that completely block everything without turning the screen on. Need to be rooted though.

Blocking Unwanted Calls?

So I don't know about you guys but more recently, I've been getting a TON of unwanted soliciation mostly surrounding credit card consolidation. According to VZW (good 'ol #611), our TBs have a native function to block #s in our Call History. I've never known this before and using BAMF SOAB I couldn't find it. Anyone know of other ways?
I've never checked into a native function, but if you use google voice you can set up any number to go directly to voicemail, completely block them and setup custom voicemail greetings on a per person basis. It has a lot of nice options and those are all free. You also might want to get your phone number on the do not call registry if it's not already at https://www.donotcall.gov/

Yeah thanks man, I registered some years ago but it isn't stopping these guys. The problem is they're calling from different #s, all of which are unreturnable too. GV would be nice but this is my direct #, not my GV.
When you click on Phone ...click on Menu and then go to Blocked Callers you can add them there...a bit time consuming as I cannot get it too add them by long pressing on their info in the call list...
Just reread your post... your running BAMF SOAB...I am still a stock newb not sure if you have that feature still.
Google voice options are tied to your cell number if you go through the setup. I don't even use the assigned google voice number for anything, but i do use the blocking feature and those numbers don't make it to my cell any longer. But if they use a lot of different numbers, i don't know what to suggest.

You have to re-register every year.
FYI - Making telemarketing calls to a cell number is illegal.
http://www.fcc.gov/guides/truth-about-wireless-phones-and-national-do-not-call-list
The link for filing a complaint with the FCC is on that site as well.
I use an app called Call Control, it allows me to allow calls from contacts only, all others go directly to voice mail.
You may want the paid version, it's well worth it in my opinion.
Have you tried any of the apps from the marketplace? i know they have one called blacklist.

How to see when sms is seen

Is there some app for android devices where I can see when time person which got my standard sms opened that sms ?
Just like on facebook chat there is exact time when other person sow my messages in chat
Depending on carrier and ROM, you can specify in the SMS settings the delivery of a receipt after the SMS has been opened.

This isn't possible for the messages...
Its possible.in many IM messengers.
They give many features....

I supposed that it is impossible :silly:
I only know that is some sms apps you can see that the sms is arrived on the others phone, but i don' t think it is possible to see if he/she readed the message
The SMS protocol has no way to report when messages have been read, but it does have ways to report when it's sent and received. Unfortunately, the standard makes these optional, not required.
The Android framework supports receipts when SMS messages are sent and received. The SmsMananager lets a program specify independent callbacks for sentIntent "when the message is successfully sent, or failed" and deliveryIntent "when the message is delivered to the recipient". See: developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/SmsManager.html
But you can't rely on that working in an Android app. The problem is that
The actual SMS transfer code is written by the device manufacturer
SMS message transfer is controlled by the carrier
So, for a delivery receipt to work, it has to be implemented, and implemented consistently, by
The manufacturer of your phone
Your carrier
Your friend's carrier
The manufacturer of your friend's phone
The bottom line is that you're not even guaranteed that a given SMS is going to be delivered, let alone when. If you want receipts you need to use a different app, such as facebook chat.
