Timely Contacts takes the groups from your phone and shows them on a sorted list. You can put on a view pager till three groups in order to have them under control. The groups My Contacts has also been filtered in order to show only the contacts having one phone number at least. You can also set automatic phone call feature with a refresh rate you can choose from 5,10,30 minutes , 1 or 3 hours.
You can also enable automatic sms feature (you must have enabled automatic phone call); it sends a message after 5 not answered phone call. For both of the features the costs depend on your carrier.

How do I increase the SMS recipients from the stock 10(people) to more ...with my HTC inspire I cam mass text all my contacts(300) in one time
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App
Go into contacts and create a group. Name it and add as many people as you like.
BTW it is the 2 person icon next to the search up top
No it still allows only 10 recipients there has to be something in the registry that changes it

I personally use GO SMS, I find it far superior to the stock SMS application. It's free, ad-free, and 5 minutes of set up time = the most amazing SMS app ever .

x2, I use GO SMS also. TONS of options, and allows you to send an SMS to everyone (as a group or individual ones to each person)
I figured it out use sqlite to change setting from 10 to 99

I kept getting calls from a particular advertiser, and after asking several times for them to stop, I blocked their number on my skyrocket.
But now their number is at the top of my contact list. How do I remove it from the contact list without unblocking it?
It seems that it might have to be listed in the contacts in order for the phone to recognize the number to block if they call in the future.
Complete guess, but I think a reasonable guess...
You are probably right. I wonder if there's a way to filter my contact list so that blocked numbers aren't seen. I'll have to check the market for an app. Thanks.
PS -- Cool screen name. Nice to see another Texan on the forum.
I created a contact named "Blocked Telemarketers" and put any sales call numbers under that contact. I also added it to the blacklist and auto reject list. No more rings, no missed call notifications either.
I use call master.

I use blacklist pro no icon. So I block and I don't see the app or notifications

Yep sounds like call master. I like the kill feature. It doesn't even ring for people trying to call. Tricks them into thinking not a valid nimber- can't leave voicemail

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.

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.

I use "mr number". Its free, and it has great filtering options as well as caller id. You can set it to block, pickup/hangup, send to vm, block texts. Its keeps an easily accessable log. Its one of my favorite apps

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.

Its possible.in many IM messengers.

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.

BR.
does the Nexus 5 have a native feature to block calls and text w/o having to buy a 3rd party app just like iphone iOS7 now has such feature to block unwanted calls or text. The brief moment that I had my Nexus 5, I spent a lot of time searching for the native feature and I didn't find it, had to download a 3rd party app instead.
No it doesn't.
Download Mr Number.
Free and integrates as far or as little as you prefer.
Thank you guys, I just wanted to confirm if the stock kitKat had a native blocking feature. I assume any 3rd party app always has to be running, contributing to more battery draining.
Yes it does, theres an option to send any contact direct to voicemail. On all my android phones I've never needed a 3rd party app, I just have a single contact i call "SPAM" and add any number to it I want to block. Works perfect. (can't block text however).
Also, how do you do that in iOS7, I never found that option, my wife would love to know...
I have been testing a lot of blocking apps on KitKat ans there is no one compatible...
Hangouts still receive notification ...

^ This. It's the best way I have found to block callers in stock Android, though it's disappointing that you can't simply tap/hold on a call in history and mark it as "blocked" like you can with most Android skins.

No app required!
Open the app "PEOPLE", Click on the contact you wish to block, open menu, select "All calls to voicemail"
And what about text messages ?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I notice this thread mentions blocking calls...
What is not to understand about the question? People want to block calls. Not dump them to voicemail. Cyanogenmod has (had?) a blacklist. This allowed one to either add numbers or even wild card numbers in addition to holding the hang up button when disconnecting the call. Subsequently, when one of the added parties tried to call, they were meet with one ring, after which the call appeared to be disconnected or broken in some way. Why is it so difficult for T-Mobile, Google, LG, HTC, Verizon, etc, to implement this as a standard feature?
If you don't have root you can silence the ringtone at the start of the call. Try http://cond.im
