Hi,
I bought a Dazen Coolpad F2 8675-W00 phone with Android 4.4.4 on it and found I'm not able to receive any SMS sent by short code numbers, e.g., my bank sends me OTP codes using short code SMS. I don't have any problem receiving SMS from normal mobile numbers. And when I put the same SIM card in another phone, I don't have this issue.
I installed Google Messenger and set it as the deafult SMS app but still it is the system's SMS app (no longer the deafult SMS app) which gets notified when a new SMS arrives. There's still no chance to receive any short code SMS.
After some debugging, I listed SMS receivers on my phone (Google Messenger uninstalled):
com.android.mms.transaction.PrivilegedSmsReceiver, priority = 2147483647
com.yulong.android.security.blacklist.receiver.InComingSmsReceiver, priority = 2147483647
com.yulong.android.antitheft.deamon.relative.SmsRelativeReceiver, priority = 2147483647
com.yulong.android.security.ui.application.SecurityBootReceiver, priority = 0
com.google.android.gms.icing.proxy.SmsMonitor, priority = 0
My guess is either the 2nd or the 3rd receiver blocks short code SMS and calls abortBroadcast(). Any ides how I can investigate the issue further?
Many thanks,
Tom

aFirewall allows you to configure multi scenes to block different call and SMS at different time. It has following features.

You can download it from market by searching "afirewall". Thank you.
Since we are on the Topic of a FireWall, I'm sure people will look up something for Internet.
DroidWall is the app name and its free on the Market.
If you don't have a data plan like me, this is the best thing if you are tired of using APN droid when you want to enable MMS, just go to whitelist and select Messages. Thats it!
I haven't seen any glitches in the app or crashes.
what kind of block modes do you have?
busy, shut down, out of service?
I'm trying to send a sms in the default cm10 messaging app. After selecting a contact to send a sms to I noticed that their number is only in 7 digits above rather than 10; missing the area code. This causes a send failure because of the missing area code. Sending a message in GO SMS works fine. Anybody know of a possible fix?
edit* the contacts that had this error all had a 1 in front of the number (eg 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx). Removing the 1 fixes this error.
Hi. I'm using with my N5 with t-mo in the US. I have a rule in Outlook (on my PC) that sends an SMS to my phone in the event that I get an email from a specific individual. So, the message is sent to [email protected]. This message arrives to my phone as an SMS.
With my prior phone (which was using a CM-based 4.2.2 ROM) this message would appear in my SMS client (Slide Messaging Pro; but prior to that was Handcent) identified by the email address, which would then map correctly into Contacts and bring up the correct contact picture (me).
With my N5 running KitKat, the message shows up as from a four digit code ( e.g., 3823, which varies from message to message), and the SMS client can't map it into Contacts to get the picture. Instead, the first part of the message is my email address.
This is hardly mission-critical, but I am wondering if there is some way to strip out the 4 digit code so that the SMS maps to Contacts correctly? I'm currently rooted but using stock recovery, if that matters.
Hi -
We have a situation where we can only send an SMS message to a phone number. No alternative methods like WhatsApp or the 100 other messaging apps, due to a limitation of rules and system. On the receiving end, we have someone who doesn't have SMS services in their area (overseas - UK), so they're unable to receive them. I'm not exactly sure how to word this, but is there anything that allows you to SMS a target phone number and have it be received over 4g/wifi instead of regular SMS messaging over cellular?
I looked at Google voice, but this person doesn't want to switch anything over number-wise. Is this or any other service a viable solution for this need?
Thanks in advance for any advice......
SMS Spam and text messages with trojans and viruses has gotten so bad that I have had to block all SMS except those in my contact list. I use 'Should I Answer' for the SMS blocking.
I get SMS text alerts from several banks with no problem (they normally have a 6 digit number). But one bank has no number and is only identified by what appears to be an email address.
Unfortunately a Contact list does not allow an alphabetical input in the phone number field of the contact list. I question how they can even send an SMS message without a number. I've tried asking the bank for help but they seem clueless about this.
Is there a way to determine what number is being used to send these alerts? I found a number they claim on their website is used for SMS but when entering it in the contact list it is still blocked. I can't get any alerts from that bank due to their use of an email address in place of a number. Any suggestions?
