Anybody tested the spam/scam blocker? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

http://techaeris.com/2016/08/02/samsung-partners-hiya-integrated-spamscam-caller-id/
Supposedly, our s8's diaker/messaging app is powered by hiya app. Hiya is an app that has database of scammers and spammers. It will show you if the one texting or calling you is a scam. I wonder of this feature is the hiya integration.
Any thoughts?

Works ok but I still prefer TruCaller as that blocks spam sms as well.

As does the Samsung messaging app.

It shows you on the incoming call screen if it's a suspected scam/spam call.

For example, see screenshots.
Hiya (for me) only shows
spam numbers.
Obviously depends on local Hiya data base.
Hiya does not block messages /text.
To block messages i have to use Samsung messages blocker.
Overall can't complain.
Hiya works silently and does not spam me, so i am happy.

[Q] Widget/app for displaying missed calls, sms, voicemail, and email?

Coming from WinMo and having had SPB Mobile Shell installed, I've become accustomed to having a widget on my homescreen that shows not only missed calls, but my number of new texts, voicemails and emails. I've searched both directly here on the forum and using google with xda in the search terms, and I haven't been able to come up with any sort of widget or app that does what I'm looking for so far.
I've seen ones that work solely for one form of communication or another, but not all of them at once.
Am I missing it? Does such a thing exist, either here or in the Market?
So, does the lack of replies mean that such a thing doesn't exist, and I'm going to need to hunt down separate apps/widgets for each type of notification, or does the lack of replies mean that nobody can believe I asked such a boneheaded question because the answer is supposed to be totally apparent (to everyone else but me)?

Looks really great, i installed it and tried several of the skins. Only downside for me is that it takes up a lot of ram, and ram is precious
lol went to reply and hit thanks instead (welcome..)
but what I wanted to say is, how can you justify the permissions of that app?
They give no explanation at all, and has access to your SMS, Phone ID, Contacts, etc.

That is easy to answer it needs access to sms to display unread sms, to phone to display missed calls, to contacts to show to name in the missed call....

[App]Block annoying post call service msg regarding balance.

Balance Update / USSD blocker
Block annoying post call service msg regarding balance.
This app selectively blocks balance update messages that carriers send after each call, typically on prepaid plans. These balance update messages show as annoying popups after end of each call.

[Q] True Caller not Working - Please Help

Honor 6 - True Caller not working
Two days back received this awesome device and so far no complaints except this third party application True Caller not working with my Honor 6. It looks like honor 6 has designed its own call locater and I could see in the UI while receiving a unknown call. But that is not enough for me. It just gives the city and location. Everyone knows what True Caller does and I installed it in the Honor 6 and I don't see any notifications from the True Caller when I receive a call. But after the call gets completed I'm able to see the call locater name and location as usual. So the issue is only on the call notification pop-up. Is anyone seeing the same problem and got it fixed? PLEASE HELP
Reset app preferences...
