Android :: Message Blocking From Preselected Numbers?
Jun 22, 2010
I would like not to read the messages from some preselected numbers. Some person is annoying me (as it always happens in life), and I dislike receiving stupid and incongruous messages from that person. How could I achieve this? I found apps for blocking calls, mostly for WM, but I here look a tool for my Android, and, moreover, for messages. (A call blocker would be nice too, though, but I did not find one, even by looking in older posts in this forum.

Call / SMS blocking app with ability to block message from non-numeric numbers and with whitelist support for those numbers.
I`am using Call Control now. This app can block non-numerical numbers. But no whitelist support.
Answer: information from cellular providers and from banks comes from such numbers. But they trapped in spam and you have always to look blocked log.

Any way to block my son's phone from calling or texting specific phone numbers? I want him to be able to add phone numbers and contacts, but be unable to call or text a couple of specific phone #s. Is there a way to do this? I have Verizon but their number blocking service only works for incoming calls, not for outgoing.

When entering a work or home number into a person's contact, those same numbers appear as "send message" buttons.
How can I remove these message buttons for other than mobile numbers?

yesterday I accidentally changed the settings on my ally and I set it so I could see the status of my sent messages. I took it off earlier today because it wasn't what I wanted. Now after 3 messages I have a grey box on my screen that says "Message received by (person's number)" and it doesn't go away unless I turn my phone off and back on again. Then after a few texts, it pops up again and won't go away.

Does anyone have a clever method for inserting phone numbers into a text message? For example- I work in music, and people frequently call or text asking for the phone numbers of cellists and violinists I know so they can hire them for recording sessions. "Sure," I reply, "I'll text the numbers to you." Then, I have to look up the numbers in my People app, write them down on a piece of paper (or on a notepad on my computer), and then write the names and numbers into a text message. That works for home, but when I'm on the road it really screws the process. Can I start the text message and then import the names and numbers as text? I really want to be able to add more than contact to the text message (I'm not talking about recipients here, I mean sending a text that is a list of names and phone numbers).

It would be interesting to know if the number of people buying apps is growing as fast as the number developing them. Has anyone seen data about either?

I'm launching an IntentService using startActivity from inside the onClickListener of a button. startActivity returns immediately. No blocking there. But the button stays "pressed" until the IntentService finishes its work. In addition, the screen does not respond to rotation while the IntentService thread is running. I can see that it's a separate thread in the debugger but the UI seems to be coupled to it. As soon as the IntentService thread finishes, the UI is unblocked. Any idea how I can prevent this and let the UI continue?

Need a program to block calls. Telemarketers, debt collectors, annoying ex's etc. Anything like that for the Android? The send to voice mail feature causes them to just leave me voice mail.

I am developing a call blocking application for android. What I've achieved so far is that my application gets informed whenever there is some incoming call. Now i want my application to handle the incoming call instead of default android application. So for this, i am trying to kill the android phone process. Please tell me can i do so. If not, then how can i reject the incoming call.

On the market, there's an application called App Protector, which seems to effectively block the launching of configured activities until a password is correctly provided. By default, it blocks access to itself (not very interesting), Settings, and a few others. I wrote my own app to launch settings (rather than doing so through the home screen) and App Protector continued to do the job it claims to do.
When an activity that is protected is started, App Protector's password input activity is shown instead. Once the correct password is provided, the activity that was started comes to the front.
First -- does anyone know how this app is able to get between the rest of the system and the activities it protects? I would like to do something along these lines in my own application as well. Perhaps this app is receiving a broadcast about other activities coming to the foreground, and when the foreground activity is protected, it forces itself to the foreground?
Second -- does anyone know how well this technique will stand up to attack? Are there other ways to circumvent, where start Activity(...) fails to? It seems that one could use adb to un install it, thus removing its protection easily, but if I pursue my plans here, the app will be a part of a device's firmware (which, I assume, offers some protection against its apps being installed?)

I'm trying to use the Mail client on my Hero to send emails, but it seems that Three is blocking port 25. I've asked my hosting company if they can allow me to use port 587, but in the meantime, does anybody know of how else I can send email from my Hero?

Is there a API for intercepting and blocking a call? What I want to do is to create app that autometically detect incoming call and based on the caller it either alert the user or don's alert the user. Like, if the number is stored in the phone book then alert the user other wise just send a message to the caller that the person is busy.

I have an Activity that implements a Gesture Detector to catch the user fling input for navigation to other screens. That was working fine - but - I recently updated a class that derives from my BaseActivity to add an onClick function and now that click event seems to block the onFling from being hit. The onClick is tied to a TextView area (in a LinearLayout) I have on my screen. The resultsClick method is wired to the TextView using its onClick property in the XML layout.
I've tried changing the return values in onSingleTapUp and onDown without luck. I've also tried adding log statements to all the functions below as well. None of them fire when I fling in the TextView area but they do on other areas of the screen.
Maybe I am using the wrong search terms, but I couldn't seem to find an example that addressed this - yet I'm sure this problem has been solved before.

I have someone who's calls I wish to block. No I don't want to forward him to voice mail (even though I already have). I want the phone's caller ID to recognize the caller and simply bloc the call (I don't want the phone to ring and I don't want it to accept any voice mails from this guy). I know google voice has this feature, but I don't want to activate the single number version of GV (I'm not ready to have only one number. I read a similar thread that was posted here some time ago, but there were no definitive answers on it: http://androidforums.com/support/6077-caller-id-based-blocking-call-forwarding.html. I was wondering if anyone was aware of any apps that could be used to block a specific incoming number, which could be installed without having to root the phone.

I have a thread listening on a TCP port. When there's nothing coming in on that port, the thread blocks. This is fine, and the behaviour I want, but how do I kill said thread while it's blocking?

I have a background thread which queries for 1000 records at a time. After querying , when i call cursor.move To First(), the UI gets blocked until the operation is completed.This is very disturbing experience for user , especially if there are 10000 plus records.I use Thread.sleep in between after each 1000 records, As soon as cursor.move To First is called, UI blocks for 2 3 seconds. Am i missing anything here ?

I'd love to prevent hardware buttons from working while user runs my app. Perfectly all of them, but any number would help :) I am not sure it's doable but maybe I miss something, hence my question. For those wondering - "why?" - we got an app that does full screen colorful animation and users often run it and hand the phone to their babies as they can stare at it for hours :) but the problem is, kids accidentally press hardware buttons (usually camera trigger, but also Home or Search - depending on the device model). I'd love to add the option to block all keys beside one which can hardly be pressed accidentally.

Have been wondering whether there is an app out on the market that blocks phone calls at certain periods of time throughout the day! Such as at night time, I get obnoxious calls that wake me up! Or while I'm in class... Is there such an app that blocks phone calls from like 12AM to 7AM. I've been googling like crazy and I can only find apps that block certain phone numbers.

I have code that runs in the background and holds a connected Socket and it's InputStream.It calls read() infinitely until something is received, then continues to parse.Socket timeout is 0 of course.I am interested in what would happen when the device goes to sleep?Is the CPU off? Will this socket be responsive in this case?

Quick and to the point.Which app is best and why?
-Ad Block Plus
-Adfree
-Ad Away
I don't like Ad Block because this app isn't works in background as service, icon must be all time in notification bar.Adfree is ugly. Ad Away is looks good. What is the truth in practice?

I hope its not just me. But there has to be an update for google maps by now.We are at 3.1.2 i think.When i search for google maps in the market, i get everything but google maps.I was trying to get infinity web browser as well, and this never shows up for me. But it is in the market.Just as Google's website says that google maps is on the market, and they dont offer a download.So, is sprint/Samsung blocking stuff in the market? do we have our own special market or something? I'm not seeing to many apps that say "must have root access" either.
