Hello everyone, I am looking for something specific that I know exists on the iPhone and I want to know if possible on my device.
Does anyone have a clue if it is possible to block messages on a lock screen but yes see the sender's name as on the iPhone?
The option of hiding the content of the message does not show from who a message was sent (on Whatsapp for that matter) and I would like to know from who the message was sent without the content.
Anyone know a way around this?
Your solution may be in the text app itself. I use Textra, and in it, I specify whether to show sender and/or message in the notifications.

I am new to Android and looking for a program that will intercept certain text messages and allow me to mute it and mark it as read. On my Touch Pro 2 I used a great program called Magicall. Is there anything similar for Android?
Thanks!
Mike
What criteria are you looking for?

I am looking to mute and move to a folder, messages from certain contacts. I tried gblocker and SMSGuard but both still leave a name in the messaging program.
Thanks.

ChompSMS has the blacklist feature. It works well for hiding suggestive messages from my friends about my girlfriend from.. well, her.
It hides messages from the regular inbox and from notifications, but you can go in to the settings and specifically state that you want the program to show blacklisted messages. They'll still be in your inbox with this selected, just not come up on notifications. If the option is off, they don't appear in your inbox or notify until you reselect the option.
SPC or super private conversation sounds like what you maybe looking for. Check it out on the market.

Intercept SMS
Try aFirewall too. It is nice for incoming calls too.
I think this should work for you.
Does anyone know of a good way to monitor text messages on an android phone remotely?
I need an app like this too.. Anyone?

I've not tried this myself, but I've heard very good things about it...

If you are on AT&T you can use the AT&T messages app. And it will do text messages, picture messages, and voicemails. It is a really cool app.
I saw some applications that state that they can track SMS, calls, location remotely. Try searching Market for "monitor sms", you might find something.
I have an issue in GoSMS where, whenever I send a message in a group chat, it ends up showing up twice. The first time the message appears and then a few seconds later I "receive" a message from myself (as if I was another user in the group chat) and the message pops up again, this time prefaced with my name and a ":" - e.g. My Name: The weather sure is nice
Anyone else come across this and know how to fix it?
Thanks.
Yes i experience that. Ive tried many different roms but still have the same result. Kinda really sucks but i guess the skyrocket handles text messages differently?

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.

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.

If a woman needs those kind of feature, I wouldn't chat with here ^^
ehartwell gave a very good reply!
Thats only possible for MMS, not for SMS...
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 ?

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
