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

Hello Community,
Texts over 160 characters have always caused problems on the stock MMS app. They never successfully send. This was because the stock app relies on the network to have the ability to split texts longer than the 160 character limit and does not have the functionality to do it itself.
Until now...
For the past day or so I have been working on a solution to this problem. In the end, I have the stock Mms app modified to automatically split texts over 160 characters into separate texts. Basically, every time you send a text message, it checks to see if it's longer than 160 characters, and if it is, splits the message into separate 160 character texts.
Dialer Wake Lock: (thanks dfbonney)
If you look at this post here it would seem that the reason some users are having wake lock with the dialer may be due to the fact that a message over 160 characters was sent (and not properly split). If you are having dialer wake lock issues, please check out this app and see if by using it, your dialer wake lock issues go away. Please report with findings!
A special thanks to spiicytuna for helping me submit this to the CM git and getting it merged
To-Do:
Character / Message counter fix (UI) - make EVERY message 160 characters instead of telling you it will split at 145 characters while typing messages. (The first message count is OK, after that the app TELLS you it will split at 145, while in fact it splits at 160. This throws the counts off for the user. Does not impede functionality) (It still does this, but it now splits properly instead of at a fixed number. The counter displayed while typing counts strange)
Clean the code up a bit & send to CM gerrit CODE SUBMITTED
Add settings
Add message count to end of messages ex. (1/2), (2/2)
Add Blacklist option (Currently in development)
Split by word (low priority)
Bugs:
Message Counter resets to 145 characters after first message (It still does this, but it now splits properly instead of at a fixed number)
I need testers
To Install: (thanks jakejm79)
Use Root Explorer to copy Mms.apk to
/system/app/
(overwrote current apk)
Change the permissions to match the other apks
Delete:
/data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected] (If this file doesn't exist, skip this step)
and this folder:
/data/data/com.android.mms
Reboot
Modified App Link: (Please click some ad links to support development/hosting)
Download Mirror - Latest - 0.0.4
This version also includes the ability to 'Always show character count' while typing and can be enabled in the 'Settings' under 'Extra Settings'. It is the latest version from the CM git.
Changelog:
Supports different kinds of encoding so it should be compatible with all networks. Splits are now handled by the android.telephone.SmsMessage package instead of internal.
Recoded everything to run more efficiently.
There is now an option under Settings called SMS Split. It's unchecked by default. If you want to enable message splitting at 160 characters, you must check the box!
There is now also an option to enable a message counter. SMS Split must be enabled for this option to be clicked.
Fixed a bug where very long messages would get cut off if message counter was enabled
if you want to revert, download the original app here
Good work!
When you get this working, PLEASE push it to CM's gerrit.
Works fantastically and without flaw. Pure epic sauce.

Personally I use google voice. However, I don't think it's a vm issue. I'm pretty sure the sprint vvm app relies on text messages as notification to know when there is a new voicemail. I believe the sense messaging app is programmed to ignore those texts and not notify or display them in the app. Anyway, it would be a good addition to CM.

No—it's how Sprint's VVM app works. On the stock (Sense) app you never see the text come in but the VVM app sees it and notifies of a new VM. In AOSP the text isn't hidden (blacklisted) so as the user, I get the text, Sprint VVM sees the text and notifies me of a new VM, and then I have to manually delete the text.

Yep. I thought my vvm was broken once and after 8 hours of sprint tech support the guy finally realized it was that I had installed call blocker and set it to block all calls and SMS that were not on my white list. He said vvm uses SMS to notify.

Thanks everyone!
Definitely going to check this out!
Sent 20 160+ character messages with option enabled ..20/20..
Disabled... hangs... true/false appears to be working great
I'm very glad to hear that everyone is having good results
UPDATE:
Added settings option to add a counter to the end of each message ex. (1/2), (2/2). That's one more to-do crossed off.
Hi guys,
New to this forum, wanted to share this app I wrote to get rid of spam sms. I dont know about other countries but its a big menace here in India. This is a very simple app, wrote over a weekend, totally free and has no adds or any such nags. Hoping this would be helpful to someone. Comments and suggestions welcome.
Features:
1. Block sms if sender is not in contacts.
2. Block duplicate sms.
3. Add sender to “Allowed List”.
4. Optional status bar notification.
5. Restore blocked sms to inbox.
6. Automatic & manual deletion of collected spam.
Android market link: SunLikeStar.noSpamSms
I don't really have much use for it at the moment, but it looks great, and is a good idea.
I'm sure it will be useful for a few people.
Thanks mystichobo
Rather than block all unknown texts, is it possible to add a number to the block list?
Yes, i was also thinking about adding this feature. I'll get it done and update here.
Many Thanks!
I just tried this app and it's fantastic!
Thanks so much to SunLikeStar for creating it!!
This app has no "permissions abuse" and does a perfect job!
Is the source code available? That would also be nice...
I'm very pleased... :^)

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

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.
Are you tired of that heavy that call you twenty times each day? ::
HOW IT WORKS
With this app you can block incoming calls for:
* Hidden numbers
* Phone numbers (match start of the number, end of the number or complete number)
* All numbers from a contact
You can enter the blocked numbers manually, from the contacts list or from the calls log.
The app support several working modes:
* Accept all incoming calls
* Reject all incoming calls
* Block the numbers/contacts that are added to the list (blacklist)
* Accept only incoming calls from the numbers/contacts that are added to the list (whitelist)
Note that the app is started when the call is received. Due to that, is possible that the system starts the incoming call ringtone before the app ends it. If that occurs, please, create a ringtone with 1-2 seconds of silence and use it.
Also, the app can show the list of rejected calls and much more...

Thanks, bought it, can't stand ads.
Working very good so far , Using Galaxy S5 Duos and working great for both SIM , no ringing is heared while calling just direct busy which is very good since other applications gives a tiny normal calling tone then busy
will support by buying the app , please keep it good and updated
showing numbers by name while picking it from the call log or while checking the blocked call list instead of just the number will be good
ability to hide app icon from app drawer will be good addition also
auto add a number to blacklist if user canceled it for xx times ( if possible to do this feature )
app icon needs another color and a little bit more pro touch for the design
thanks for this great app :good: hoping that it will always working good

Hidden numbers refers to calls that are not providing the from number.
In spanish are "número oculto" and I have translated directly. Please, let me know if in english has other name.
Hey are you the dev for "root call blocker" ?
Hi, couldn't really test the app yet, since I can't add phone numbers from contacts to Whitelist. I always get the message "None of your contacts has a phone number".

P.S.: Also missing a translation when using "Picking a number" - the three options regarding the whole number or only a part of the number are in Spanish.

Are your contacts synced with Google? I'm using the immutable id of the contacts in order to allow backup/restore operations (not jet implemented).
No, I'm not synching contacts with Google (would make to much mess in my phone due to number of google contacts )). My contacts are only stored locally (in the phone) and a copy of them on SIM card. So there is no solution for this (yet ) unless I sync with Google?
Cool no worries just making sure, dont want him to have any of my money.
Will have a look thanks mate

What is the blocking method of this app?
Blocks the call at system level. No ringtone or screen wake
Rings for few seconds & then the app rejects it
Picks the call & immediately rejects it

Thread for the Message Forwarder App. This is a good way to reach the developer with any questions, concerns, or feature requests you might have in mind.
What is Message Forwarder?
Message Forwarder allows to automatically forward incoming text (SMS) messages, multimedia (MMS) messages, and phone call notifications to any phone number or e-mail address of your choice. Just tell the app what kind of messages and calls to handle and where to send them to, and Message Forwarder will take care of everything from there.
- Specify phone numbers to filter the messages and phone calls by.
- Specify phone numbers or e-mail addresses to forward the messages and call notifications to.
- Set up thorough and flexible manipulation rules to automatically modify the content of the messages before being forwarded. Very useful for those coupling this app with automated systems that make use of keywords.
- Attach information of the original sender or caller on the forwarded message.
- View a history of the messages forwarded, along with all their attachments in the case of multimedia messages.
- Specify days of the week and times of the day in which messages and call notifications should not be forwarded. Very useful for those not interested in forwarding messages during off hours, like weekends or weeknights.
- And much, much more.
Looking forward to hearing your feedback.
Screenshots
Attaching screenshots of current version (Version 1.2.6.XDA)
PS: I am a satisfied user of the app, Just giving my inputs to the forum.
My Simple review: I am looking for an app that can forward selected SMS from (secondary)mobile to email and found this app.
Feedback:
The app is easy to setup with step by step screen, DEV had well thought the flow of the setup.
I don't find any unnecessary permissions that can misused.
Each time by watching the 10sec ad APP provides 170 quota to use the app. No need to pay upfront ($5 for onetime purchase)
Few options I like in the app:
Able to forward SMS/MMS/CALL LOG
We can forward from ALL/SELECTED contacts and have Single or Multiple Targets (email/phone)
Use of FILTERS/RULES & Scheduling.
Few requests/suggestions to DEV:
I feel the current permission request steps are confusing and user may miss few of them. It will be easy if app can request the required access step by step while setting up the app.
Provide section/option for required access if user missed granting while setting up the app.
Kudos to the app developer, appreciate the efforts. Thanks for sharing with members.

Out of all the permissions the app asks for, a few can be moved to earlier in the configuration process (Read SMS, Receive SMS, Receive MMS, Send SMS, Read Contacts, Read Call Logs). Some others must stay in the end because they are required regardless of what options the user picks during the configuration process (Ignore Battery Optimization). I do agree the experience could be improved if we move the ones we can. I'll take a stab at it soon.
The user does get an explanation of why each permission is needed, but only if they chose NOT to grant it in the past; as in... "I see you didn't grant XYZ permission when I asked for it. I still need it and here is why". I think we should leave it that way for simplicity. If we move the permission requests to their respective steps in the configuration process, it should be obvious to the user why that permission is being requested. If they reject it, then the app can start giving explanations why they are needed.
The app also notifies the user about missing permissions through a system notification when it cannot do something because of the lack of such permission. It also gives the user a reminder whenever they visit the app and a needed permission is still not granted. If the user misses any permissions, they find out sooner rather than later.
For now, I can at least move forward with the permission request relocation mentioned above. I'll let you know how that goes.

Thanks for the quick response!
Excellent app.
But, a few caveats need to be filled quickly.
1. Provision for SIM selection of SMS forwarding (should be a part of each rule).
2. The developer has already implemented setting Sender ID quite nicely (inclusion/exclusion) on screen no. 4 of config.
- But, it lacks the ability to find partial matches. For example, I have been receiving messages from +4456874***, the last three digits can be dynamic. I want all these messages to be forwarded.
- Take another example. all SMS received from number containing ****8808** is to be forwarded.
- In short, please make provisions for matching Prefix, body, suffix of a sender ID.
3. SMS from custom sender IDs (sender ID that contains a text string, instead of numbers) was not forwarded.
- Example. I keep receiving "service messages" from UKING***, BRISRLY* etc.
- With the current version, its not possible to create a rule for forwarding these messages.
- Please implement partial matches (as described above) for custom sender IDs too.
It has been a wonderful effort already.
Big thanks to the developer.

1- I've been planning on implementing dual SIM support, but unfortunately do not have a dual SIM device to test this on, and the Android emulator does not support it either. Would you like to volunteer to become an alpha-tester of this feature with your device?
2- I'll consider adding some sort of pattern matching for this. I first have to think how to make it user-friendly (not require knowledge of RegEx or anything like that).
3- You should be able to type in any kind of alphanumeric string in the contacts screen, and the app be able to handle it just fine. Are you saying that's what you did, but when a message came in, the app did not process it?

1. For Sure.
2. Take your time
3. Exact match works. any bit of deviation ruins it.

That's great! Could you send me a private message with your e-mail address? I will send you the alpha version of the app with the Dual-SIM feature when it's ready.
Hello there and thank you.
1. Is it possible to enable delivery report for sent messages?
2. In Dynamic Content config, I want to search for a specific keyword and if found, forward the message. If i leave the "replace" text empty, it will erase the keyword from message. It's good to have a checkbox to disable text replacement.

Hello there.
1. Delivery reports for SMS seem trivial. I'm not so sure about MMS though; I can't find any Android documentation for it. I'll have to look into it.
2. As far as the Dynamic Content, you can simply retype the keyword in the "replace" field. Essentially this translates to: find "my-keyword" and replace it with "my-keyword"; effectively leaving the message intact.
Regards.

I feel the current permission request steps are confusing and user may miss few of them. It will be easy if app can request the required access step by step while setting up the app.

Hi, I just released the new version (1.3.0) that includes this permissions workflow change you requested.

Excellent app.
1. Provision for SIM selection of SMS forwarding (should be a part of each rule).
2. The developer has already implemented setting Sender ID quite nicely (inclusion/exclusion) on screen no. 4 of config.
- But, it lacks the ability to find partial matches. For example, I have been receiving messages from +4456874***, the last three digits can be dynamic. I want all these messages to be forwarded.
- Take another example. all SMS received from number containing ****8808** is to be forwarded.
- In short, please make provisions for matching Prefix, body, suffix of a sender ID.
3. SMS from custom sender IDs (sender ID that contains a text string, instead of numbers) was not forwarded.
- Example. I keep receiving "service messages" from UKING***, BRISRLY* etc.
- With the current version, its not possible to create a rule for forwarding these messages.
- Please implement partial matches (as described above) for custom sender IDs too.

Hi, the latest version (1.3.0) was just released and includes these features.
Older Version
I really like Message Forwarder and it has work perfectly for me. BUT my work phone is VERY old and the current version of Message Forwarder will not work. How can I get an older version that will work with Andriod 5.1?

Hi. I sent you a private message about this.
The app stops forwarding after 5 or 6 messages. Unfortunately this app is exactly what I have been looking for an I have not been able to find a replacement.

Hi. Do the failed messages appear in the app's Messages Screen? Are you forwarding to phone numbers or e-mails? If e-mails, what proxy account are you using? Outlook or Gmail?
Message Fowarder
I was forwarding to 2 email addresses and one texting/ phone app. When the messages did get forwarded they did show up on the message tab. If they were not forwarded they did not. I am using a Gmail proxy. I changed my configuration to only my Gmail account. Thank you for quick response I hope this is an easy issue to rectify.
