HOW TO DISABLE PHONE NUMBER SHOWING @ every text message - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hello there,
First of all, this phone is A M A Z I N G especially comin from a Galaxy S2 LTE. But I have this thing bugging me where when texting a contact that I registered his Home & mobile phone, in front of every text he sends me, it writes his phone number and (Mobile). This is pretty much ugly-annoying & I'ld like to know if someone knows how to disable it without having to use a 3rd party app for sms.
Merci, Thank you.

Haha yeah, it'd be nice to disable it.
I don't think we can though
I'm considering using a third party app or creating separate contacts...

[Q] Edit whatsapp messages time or change time to system time!

Hello,
Me and my gf used to chat a lot using whatsapp (she has an iphone)..i finally persuaded her to change to android but she wants the threads as she has them on her phone..i have tried everything and since you cant restore within different platforms the only good way i thought is if we did a "replay" of what we have sent by looking from the chat history from email..bit extreme but no other way..
The only problem is that the app doesnt let us use the time we wish (from system) because maybe it uses time from the web! Or maybe we can alter the time afterwards ..Any ideas??
Thnx

Not sure if there is any easier way but Whatsapp Xtract could be the answer since it support WA message extraction, you can get it here.
If you know some programming skill you can just play with the sqlite database, another way would be write some script to mass change the time on the chat history/email.
Good luck!
By the way, you probably want to change your title to include [Q] so that people know you are asking a question.
Thnx i will look it up! i was also thinkng about whatsapp on Bluestacks but then again the mod in time is still an issue

I just have a look on the message history sent through email by Whatsapp, it's just a simple plain text file is it? so much easy to process by script.

Have you tried Whatsapp Xtract? Well if you are talking about changing the date on email then a simple php script would do by mass converting the date.
But what can i see from the message history sent to email is that they have 'year' info skipped, so not sure what happen to messages sent/rcvd before current year, does it have year info? well, only if you have one sent/rcvd before 2012.
If only about changing the date on email maybe i can help, just give me some picture on how it looks like now and how it supposed to be.

Yes I have looked into this program..it all started from me wanting to export whatsapp chat into android from iphone! Then when I saw I cant do that I thought I could send my chat from scratch and change the date..but then again the app doesnt let you operate if you use incorrect time.BUT one thing I never thought is one simple and better solution: Why dont I avoid this app and its limitations and import my chat conversation from email to SMS with sms to text!! :thumbup:I will combine my sms and my whatsapp into one thread and job done! GOOD THING ANDROID SMS IS SO VERSATILE! .txt .csv. xls you name it. So happy right now thanx for your feedback anyway

As it turns out viber lets you send/receive msgs using the wrong date and time so you can "replicate" past conversations from different im..respect

[APP][1.6+] Sms Replier - Need Feedback

Hey, I recently released an app to Google Play and was wondering if you guys could help me out to test it and to give me feedback!
The app is called Sms Replier and it's a tool that can be used to send texts to people who call you while you're unable to get to your phone to answer(while you're in an exam, or playing a game of soccer, etc.). I know this idea has been done before, but I want to know whether you think it's worth it for me to keep working on it so as to add features which have not been done in any other app. Please let me know how well it performs/what things I should change about it, and please rate it on Google Play!
I am excited to get some real criticism from android users so that I can continue to make this app what I originally set out for it to be!
The app is completely free! Thank you in advance.
I like it! Simple, but I would love a widget.
If you are lazy: here's a link to the download:

cool
thanks for the app..

Hey. Can the app send sms at a specific time? For example set it to send an sms to a contact at 2pm and when the clock becomes 2pm it sends the sms. Cz I'm looking for such a feature.
Also it would be great if the above could work on whatsapp too. Thanks

Try SMS scheduler from the play store
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
it works ace!
what would be good is to have either a widget to toggle on / off, permanent notification to enable access to the menu, or an idle / activity monitor like if phone left idle for x minutes then enable it; as soon as there's human activity then de-activate it (could be linked to the auto screen dim/off).
A very nice app, very useful for businesses. Out Of Office Reply
A great start! I would also like to add some suggestions (some may be repeats).
1. Widgets that you can add to turn on and off selected notifications.
2. Auto respond based on a pre-determined schedule.
3. Auto start on startup option (for scheduled events).
4. # appears over icon to notify user how many messages were replied to while away (like mail or missed call icon).
Keep up the great work!
SMS Replier
Hello
Good app. Excellent operation. tested on my Nexus and Galaxy S2.
Take this opportunity to say that I'm spreading my blog this excellent application.

Success for you.

Great app very helpful while driving especially. Would be nice if you could add some features to even reply to text messages automatically. Something similar to auto reply feature in GoSMS.
great work.

as bigdog said those are very essential to complete this app.
first time i installed the app.. i was really surprised to see its simplicity really awesome
i would like to add some suggestions and doubts from mine sides too even though they may be repeated
some brainstorming got me to bring up these elements
1. sometimes there can just be miss calls.. you can add up timer like (send sms before ringer, on one ring, on two rings, or like if didnt pick the call at all will send an sms)
2. a status bar indicating that the sms replier with number of sms sent. [a widget would also be helpful]
3. then you can add some templates or profiles like driving, in class or let users create their profiles or templates.
4. there is one more thing that u can get access of contacts and just disconnect the unknown numbers[ofcourse getting the notification with number at our end] and donot sent them a reply in order to maintain the privacy and not let the unknown numbers know what you are upto.
5. and if i may add a option.. a counter to be set to ring if a same person is trying to call for more than two three times or in case of emergency
i will add more when it comes ...
Would be great if it could work on whatsapp!
The difference is that you don't need to click the template to send it when you're receiving the call. It sends automatically when a missed call is recorded. Sorry to assume, but it doesn't seem like you actually tried using the app at all.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
@saredev, does your app have feature that can exclude certain numbers from auto responding but they are in the contacts list. For example, notifications banks or credit card companies. These companies don't need to receive auto-response. I think you might have to check the number when it arrives whether it's a phone number or shortcode before auto-response. Or include a list of numbers from auto-response.

[Q] SMS apk request

Hi to all members of XDA community!
Few days ago i become a Huawei Ascend Y300 owner. Pretty cool phone for small price. Everything works fine. I done rooting, cleaning operator crapware and unlocking (bought unlock code from ebay - recomended by Modaco).
One thing makes me nervous. It doesnt have sms delivery notification sound (no vibration also). When message come it shows notification, plays sound and vibrate but no such thing for delivery. I had Samsung Galaxy 3 Apollo and it has that feature. i dont want to use third party sms application or some addons because its inconsistent (tried Messaging Notification from JGUI but sometimes has delivery sound and vibration, sometimes not).
My question is: is somebody capable to modify stock sms apk of Huawei Y300 (currently on JB 4.1.1) or can somebody port from another phone which has that function?
Ofc, Im willing to donate via Paypal to person who help me.
P.S.
My english isnt so good so please dont be angry at me
Maybe this would help.
Go to messaging app
Settings.
Turn on delivery report.
Sent from my Xperia Live with Walkman using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Delivery is ON in the settings but it doesnt make any sound or vibration. Only checkmark is shown (beside message) when message is delivered and toast notification on main screen is shown for second or two. I need SOUND and VIBRATION for delivery reports but most od phones doesnt have this (my friends Samsung Galaxy S3 mini has it. I tried to install sms apk from that model but ofc it cannot be installed. Probably need some modification or so).
Try messaging notification app

[Q] Confirm SMS hide option

Does the stock messaging app have the secure box in it? To hide my sms.. I use the HTC One X and it had it.. Can someone please confirm it
Don't see that. also can't expand sms notifications to reply either
Ahh what kind of crap is this? Don't know if it's sense 6 or Verizon variant? On sense 5.5 i had this feature as well as sense 4+. I just figured it was on there but didn't look for it. If you go to phone app there is blocked callers but nothing for blocking text messages, WTF?!?

Best integrated feature and don't see why they would take it away but still integrate blocked calling feature? Stupid. Know any third party apps that work with KitKat 4.4.2 for this?
So did Verizon take this feature out or maybe in the software update that brings us the Power Save modes we will get this feature back?
On the HTC site it shows it's still possible on the M8, http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/howto/464987.html

Not a solution, but a workaround would be to install Who Are You from the Play Store. You can block calls and texts using it.

I am not talking about blocking people. I want to hide some sms that I receive. The HTC ONE M7 had this feature and the HTC ONE X had it as well in the messaging app. So my question is does the verizon HTC ONE M8 have this feature?

If you are really worried about hiding text messages, look for an app called Vegas SMS. This is the best program out there to hide text messages.

Made a thread on the Intl M8 forum trying to get someone over there to check. Will at least confirm if HTC said screw it you don't need this feature or Verizon/US Carriers (once other carriers get this device in hand to see) said screw it you don't need this feature. HTC says the M8 has this feature. Unless they are wrong or again only on the Intl version or maybe just latest Firmware since ours is so old and don't even have the simple Power Save mode yet. Geez my Sense 4+ had Power Save mode. http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/howto/464986.html

Exactly! Always had this feature even on Sense 5.5 with Android 4.2.2 on my HTC One X+ device. Seems odd Sense 6.0 would take the feature out and leave in the block call feature???
Third party apps never work as well as fully integrated features IMO. Sure they can work for the most part, only takes that one time though it doesn't work to ruin it all, lol!

Was that the conversation menu? Is there anything different when you long press on a specific message?

Long press a message you only get options for Delete, Call, Open Contact. That's it! If you go into a text conversation window you can lock a message by tapping it and shows a lock symbol. Doesn't hide the message at all, think all this does is prevent message from being deleted.
Well looks like there is hope people!!! Straight from the HTC website it provides it (see link above) and also just got confirmation from an international unbranded HTC M8 user!
1.54.401.5 and yeah, stock unbranded international.
So i guess we then have to wait for either:
A. Verizon push us an OTA update with latest firmware 1.54.401.5
B. We have to wait for S-Off and then we can update on our own to firmware 1.54.401.5 and have it along with a world of opportunities?!?:fingers-crossed:
Just tested out the block caller feature that we still do have built into the stock dialer app. This feature is useless, try it! I blocked a phone number. Then had that phone call my phone, after 2 rings goes to voicemail, i left a voicemail. Now my phone vibrates telling me i have a new voicemail and also displays an icon on the notification bar with a person and a lock next to them. I pull down notifications and says tap to stop call forwarding or slide to dismiss.
So basically if you want someone to not call you you're SOL! They can still leave you a voicemail and the phone shows you right away that someone you didn't want to call just called. Gotta love the privacy here, WTF?!?
Really miss iPhone here with iBlacklist. The only app that got it right all the time! Would not let people leave a VM, would just make a busy tone if they called. Above that would save their texts they tried sending you inside the iBlacklist app itself if you cared to read them or just delete them. This device has no options like this and seems nothing on the market is compatible with kit kat 4.4.2?

Check out Who Are You. It pairs best with YouMail, but it's not required. I use them both and once I ditch a call, it doesn't just hang up on them. It plays the Verizon Wireless number disconnected message and then hang up.

Does it block text too? Seems nothing blocks text in kit Kat 4.4.2 and HTC phones have issues not blocking calls instead sending them to VM.

[Q] Annoying SMS alert when using 3rd party SMS app. Lenovo A806 miui V2

let me start by saying the lenvo A806 is a great phone and is a serious bit of kit for the price tag (£150 posted from UK, £120 from china). However i didnt like the default sms app so i changed it to chomp sms im sure some of you use it. All is well except when i sent a text i get the following annoying alert and i cant figure out how to block/disable it. This happens on any 3rd party sms app.
I am reasonably clued in with this sort of stuff and have rooted and installed custom roms on other phones (nexus4, galaxy s 1+2). Any ideas guys?
Thanks!
