The Mobile Secretary

Hello,
I am currently using the Mobile Secretary as my program to auto-respond to missed calls. As viewed here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/...secretary.aspx
As you can tell it is quite outdated and need something a few more features. (excluding international texts being the primary concern)
Can anyone recommend any applications?
Also I think it's worth mentioning I have a Samsung Ace i325 with windows mobile 6 standard.

OK, the source is available, so you're on. Be specific about what you'd like to have changed.

The most important feature I need is the ability to:
-exclude international callers. (and SMS if that feature is added)
-ability to automatically reply to SMS/text as well.
Some features that would be a bonus: (in order of importance)
-Ability to have 6 saved messages I can switch between
-Number of rings before the phone auto hangs up
-Max number of SMS that can be sent to one person
-Log of amount of SMS sent per session
-Log of phone numbers that SMS were sent
If I can get a program like this working on my current phone I will definitely pay for it.

When you say "exclude international callers", you mean don't automatically send back the SMS when you miss a call from an international caller? Why don't you just leave international callers out of the group?
As for automatically replying to SMS, how would you like the reply to be handled? Would you put a message in for each group, and SMS from people in that group would get that group's reply?

When you say "exclude international callers", you mean don't automatically send back the SMS when you miss a call from an international caller? Yes.
Why don't you just leave international callers out of the group?
I only really need the "Default" and "Unknown Caller" groups with both sending the same message. I don't plan on using the groups to send specific messages to certain people. I want to send the same SMS to all missed calls. Unless I am missing something but I don't see how to filter out all Int Calls?
As for automatically replying to SMS, how would you like the reply to be handled? Would you put a message in for each group, and SMS from people in that group would get that group's reply?
That would be a nice feature, but all since I am only using two groups with the same message, it probably isn't necessary. I just need it to auto-reply one SMS to all received SMS.

If all you're looking for is a quick little app to auto-SMS any missed calls (excluding international calls) with the same message, that'd be really quick to whip up.

As long as it doesn't attempt to send SMS to numbers that come up as "Blocked ID" (could cause errors) ...then even what your suggesting would be improvement.
That plus auto-SMS to all texts would be great.
I would also need a manual filter for a few numbers that I know don't want any SMS sent. (paycard numbers in particular)
(I currently use a "third group" on mobile secretary to "filter" out those auto-SMS, forgot to mention that earlier)
I definitely don't need an intricate program =)

[Q] google voice notifier?

ive seen tons of SMS notifier apps but is there anyone out there who knows how to get something like that for google voice?

Use SMS Unread Count.
I set it up on my phone, by forwarding my GV message to gmail, with a filter to label and skip the inbox so I don't get double notifications (one for gmail and one for the vm)
Here's the set up:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10596876&postcount=10

It seems Google makes it easy from within the app itself:

I believe that is just in the notification bar.
I inferred from the OP's question that he was looking for something similar to the SMS notifiers that show the number badge on the icon.
I could be wrong.

[Q] Messenger app with special sorting

Hello.
I'm searching for a little special app for messages (SMS).
I'm receiving from my job many SMS from our tracking system of network. The problem is, that it always came from different number (It's somehow generated) so it always start new conversation.
Is there any app, which can sort these SMS into one conversation by only part of number (the start of number is always the same) or by a beginning of SMS (the text always start with the same words)?
Thank you

Can you please describe, where exactly I should set it?
I downloaded the app but didn't find anything like this in settings...

Any other tips?

I don't know if this works for you, but you could do this:
1 - Use this method to back up your messages to a Gmail label
2 - Create another filter in Gmail to label all messages with that specific content which you said every message starts with
3 - View that newly made label on your Gmail app/widget
I know this is a uselessly long workaround, there must be a better method to sort messages how you want to, but its just a thought...

Look up IFTTT. Install it. Create the following conditions:
If New SMS Contains:
*le filter*
Then Send Me SMS:
O
*original SMS*
Now all the messages will have the same number. But there'll be dupes.

So I will have SMS on gmail. That's not a good solution, because it will spam also my Outlook... (I have around 14 SMS per day...)

Looks interesting, I will test it
Only thing which doesn't look very comfortable is need of internet connection :/
EDIT: IFTTT is not the solution, because I will have the SMS doubled

[APP] Calls Blocker

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...

Thank you for the app!! I am getting a Registration key is not valid message however.
EDIT: mia culpa....seems like my copy didnt get the entire thing

Hidden Numbers
May seem like a dumb question but just wondering if the blocking of hidden numbers is "all hidden numbers" or a hidden number recognized by the app after you have received and blocked it?

it works

Tried, key works! Quite confusing with "1" and "l"...

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".
Using Galaxy Note 4 with 4.4.4.
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.

Translation issues will be corrected in the next release. Sorry.
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

No problem.

What is difference b/w this app and sams built-in block app?

Can you please add the function to block groups?
I have a group for business and want to add the entire group in the holidays.

@bartito or anyone else used the app - I have a question
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

Re calls blocker app
Cheer'z for this app! and the pro activation key it's working fine thanks!
gonna buy it after ive tried it out its only £1.07 to remove the adds, which i think is well worth the £££ :good:

tried to call my phone using another carrier , you can hear the ring for a sec then busy tone

SMS app to combine conversations from the same contact in the same chat window

Hy there,
I hope I posted where I should and if I didn't please tell me the correct section where I should do this. Also, I am not a developer, I do not have root on my phone. I do not want solutions that require changing XML files or anything. I am just asking about an app that I could find in the Play Store, or, maybe, and apk to download (this being the second option)
I have a problem with the messaging app since I left my HTC One S for the Nexus 5X in June 2016 and I did not find an app to replace that, not even on my current Oneplus 5T.
So, I have a contact in my phonebook saved with multiple numbers - work / mobile / home etc. and she texts SMS from either of the numbers (doesn't really matter because they are included in the carrier plan as unlimited). But my messaging app is sorting those SMS as different entries by phone number, and not by contact. So if we start a conversation in a chat window based on the home number, the answer may end up in a different chat windows (she has a dual sim phone so it depends on the settings on which is right now, and because the SMSs are "free", she tends to not look at which carrier is using, because, why would you if they are all free?), but this actually disrupts the logical flow of the conversation.
I know that a such app exists because I used it on HTC One S in 2012 and I was able to send SMS to which number I wanted to select (home / mobile / work of the same contact from the phonebook) and I had all the conversation in only one place, but after I changed on Nexus 5X and now on OnePlus 5T I can not find this feature in the installed app messenger (Google's or Oneplus's), neither on Google searches or specialized websites. I have tested some of the SMS apps, looked for settings, but all of them seem to show the SMSs based on the phone number, and not based on the contact entries.
Can someone suggest an app that could do that? Maybe I didn't search good enough.
P.S. The MMS option to send grouped messages is not an option because this means I will send the same SMS to multiple numbers, but those numbers are of the same person so there is no need to do that ...
Thank you very much for Your answer.
