[Q] Group SMS App without having contacts stolen

Are there any group sms apps that do not steal contacts? The big ones, handcent and Go SMS, both want you to create an account - which I imagine is to suck out your contact list.

Umm 4.2 AOSP MMS has group messaging. What do you mean they try to steal your contacts? I've used gosms without creating an account.

I use handcent and I've never created an account just to send a group message. What exactly do you mean by "stealing" contacts.

I use handcent and they do not require you to create an account. Just swipe left or right on handcent.

OP is referring to a (potential) security breach when using a secondary sms service like whatsapp. Gosms and Handcent are just third-party sms software.
As per your answer, the later mentioned apps should have group mms. And I can confirm 4.2 AOSP mms has working group mms, but requires more work to get it running.

I have a bot on my cellphone

Background info
My phone is Samsung s3
Rom is cyanonegmod( i installed it using the tool on their website)
My skill level a very low
The only apps im running are from google play store
I think i have a bot on my cellphone. Earlier today I was looking for an email that had room reservation information from the silver legacy hotel. I have my exchange email linked to my phone so i used the search function in the email app to search for the word silver. The reservation was in the results list. But there where also bunch of outgoing emails that i never sent. The emails looked like spam, i opened one but didn't click on the link. The email had been sent to me from me according to the email, but these emails don't show up in my inbox or sent mail folder. These emails don't show up on any of my computers that have the my exchange email account synced to them. I think there is some sort bot running on my phone. I tried searching using google and the xda forum search function but i couldnt find anything to help me. Is there anyway to remove the bot with out resetting my phone? I've never heard of this happening, but i figured it would only be a matter time before someone figured out how to get bots on cellphones.

Hi there, XDA Assist is mainly for navigational guidance within XDA. Your question is more general and would be appropriate in the General Q&A section. I have asked a moderator to move it for you. Good luck!

I would say they are in your spam folder, a lot of spam email spoofs the sender as the receiver email to get the person to open it. Check your spam folder and I bet they are in there.

I checked the spam folder, the emails weren't there.

[Completed] [Q] Email for Notifications??

Hi, this is probably a really simple question and I hope this is the right place to ask.
I would like to receive an email whenever I receive a new notification on this site.
I just can't seem to find where to enable it in settings.
Thanks

Hi,
On a browser, not an app, you can select email notification when you subscribe to a thread. The emails are not necessarily instant though, they can be delayed... So you know.
?

Hi Darth, thanks for the reply.
Though that's not exactly what I am after.
I am following a ROM release thread and would like to receive an email whenever a new version of the rom is released. I have clicked "Follow Project" and when roms are released I get a notification in the notifications tab under "DevDB Updates" but I can't find a way to have it email me when this occurs. If I subscribe to the thread I get an email whenever anyone posts in the thread which isn't what I am after.

AFAIK we don't support this feature yet (I haven't seen it in any of my options either) though it can be suggested [URL=" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987254" ]here[/URL]

Question about the XDA forums

Hello, I will just try to put this as straight at it can be:
How in the world and the seven kingdoms do you disable email notifications? I tried absolutely everything, disabled everything in the user panel and it still sends me email to threads i'm subscribed. I'd like to see the notification when i'm on XDA, but i don't want to receive emails for it
Thank you.
