Subject line says it all. Have entered my address and nothing happens. Faq link within the app is a dead link. If I hadn't seen loads of people on the dev forums using it with Hero ROMs I'd have flagged it as a malicious app.
It's not like there's a lot to **** up, settings-wise, but I thought I'd ask here. Is there an incompatibility between it and Chomp sms? Does it do anything clever like filter out messages from yourself?
Use SMS Backup. It works.
SMS Backup doesn't do the same thing though, does it? I want something that'll bounce sms messages to gmail in real time, as they come in, as a backup to avoid the problem with Hero roms losing texts. Loads of other Hero users swear by it and in an ideal world I'd post over in the Dev forum where more people who use the app for my intended purpose would likely see it, but if I did then a passing mod would most likely use my genitals for target practice.
SMS Backup does exactly the same as SMS to Gmail and, I must add, it does it much better.

Hey i was curious if there is any software that can be used for the kaiser. i used to have a treo which was nice because i could see the whole text messages. anything that would show a time stamp and previoyus comment

It's called threaded SMS and if you have WM6.1, you should have it. If not, there are several program out there that could do it for you.
I use this program since I only have WM6. http://www.birdsoft.biz/extremetext.htm
Its a stand alone app that basically just references your regular message inbox and then groups all your sms by contact name to give a threaded feel. It shows time stamps, contact pictures if they are assigned one, and even allows for hyperlinks to be clicked on if one is sent in your sms. What I really like about this app is that it does NOT whatsoever mess with your sms inbox settings or your mms settings or anything like some other threading apps. If you dont like it, no problem, just uninstall and nothing has changed from before.
Only thing is, that if you do recieve a MMS then the picture wont show, you will have to then launch your normal message inbox to view it.
Heres how it looks. Sorry if I went a little overboard but I looked so hard and tried almost every SMS threader out there and I like this one the best. I dont know about you, but I like to know how something really works before I buy/install it.

I am being terrorized by my provider who sends me 200 times a day the same sms and isn't able to stop that.
Is there any app or function to block unwanted sms?
If not, I'd pay 10 $ for anyone who can make a little app for me, in which i just enter a phonenumber, hit enter and never will notice anything of an sms coming from that sender...
thanks for your help!
Who is your provider? And they're telling you they can't stop their OWN messages from being sent to you?
it's a small german one and yes, they told me, they couldn't do anything to help me...
you should reply with sms barrage if you still have it. thats my answer to everything.
No i don't have that app and actually i also can't get the point, why i should sent spam to my provider...that is a mashine, no one will even notify me.
It was a joke...
Well... may anybody help me?

...id of done it lol
There is no app out there to block sms. If its from your provider and they say they won't stop it I would switch providers.
and i dont know if there ever will be, and if there is youll need root i bet
the reason i believe this (could be wrong) is that youd have to set all notifications off, and use a app to set notifications, and have it set to if a sms came in from a blacklisted number set by you, then it would not notify you, and then delete it. so in a sence youd still get it, but youd never know
thats the only way i think it would work properly, doesnt sound tooo difficult, but i dont know if there is really a demand for it, if your willing to pay 10 dollars to have it made, talk to androidandme.com, they have bountys for developers to make programs that are requested from users, the current bounty is for a full working quake port to android, they have over $200 going to the developer that makes it first, if they decided to set a bounty for it, and there are others who would like this program, than im sure you could gain some interest there
good luck man
Please try this below and report whether it is working or not as I don't own a android phone
I am still thinking about buying a HTC Dream if blocking of SMS work.
and btw this app is NOT writen by me.

block unwanted SMS
This utility seems pretty neat. I haven't tried it personally, since I'm not interested in a $20 app to do this:
EasyHelper SMS Security 2.2
handheld.softpedia DOT com/developer/EasyHelper-3934.html
"SMS Security can effectively filter all your incoming SMS messages without producing any sound or light indication. It can also hide and encrypt the secret SMS messages."
This would be helpful for those annoying friends who text in the middle of the night, or send useless junk. Also, the security feature sounds helpful for anybody who has something to hide.
Would you like to have a try aFirewall in market? It can block SMS prefectly. I am looking forward to your response. Any comments will be appreciated. Thank you very much.
You can blacklist people with the application chompSMS.

Block Outgoing SMS for android
I'm trying to find an app that will block outgoing SMS to a particular number. I've thought about trying to develop one myself but just reading how to is too complicated for me.
The way i see it the app could run a "if, then" style app. if the restricted number is detected then the app would disable the signal for a period of time (15s or 30s) and automatically delete the message. I'd like to make it password protected.
The reason i want to do this is because I text a few contacts on my phone way too often and would like to disable how often i do so. I've memorized the number so deleting the contact is not an option.

Postman is an Anti Spam application that lets you filter unwanted SPAM SMS.The application filters SMS and makes sure they don't appear in your inbox.
You can also configure the software to block messages from unknown senders or even create a trusted senders list.
Postman is available for Free from the Android Market. Please do check it out.

I browsed few such apps but couldn't find answer to my question, which is - do these apps just prevent the spam/unwanted sms from appearing in the inbox; but I still have to pay for the text msg? Or do they save me the pain of paying for text I don't want to receive?
hi all,
i travel on the underground trains a lot, and sometimes its the only time i get to write / reply to text messages.
however when i click send all i get it "SMS CANNOT BE SENT" message and it gets saved in my drafts. then i have to remember later to re-send them.
is there not a way that we can queue the messages in our outbox so that the phone immediately sends when it gets reception?
my old phones used to do this but it seems newer ones dont..
many thanks!
just wanted to ask if people understand what i mean? i found a similar topic to this form last year with no replies also.
my old HTC (200mhz windows mobile 5) had no issues with this, so may be this is just a registry fix... ?
There is an easy way to do this...
type all the message in ur Tube Train
once all the messages are there in your drafts, go into your drafts folder, select all the messages and click menu>move and move it to outbox. Once your phone will get the reception sms will automatically go
Regards,
Vishal
see but this is the problem, if i do not have reception already then sms get automatically moved from the outbox back to the drafts folder.
i know you are trying to be helpful but i want it to do something different!
imagine this, you are on the tube, then you get off and make your way through the crowds up to the street level onto a crowded busy street where just standing in one place would be in somebodys way.. so i walk to where i have to get to and immediately once i am there the client will be asking me questions or i will be working to make a good impression for us..
it leaves little time, and by the time i would remember i would already be at home wondering why i havnt had a reply!
someone must know where to point me to find an answer?? i cant be the only one!
i've asked on a few more windows forums to see if anyone knows. ive also had a look through the registry myself to see if there is anything obvious which there isnt..
i'll keep posting back with my findings.
I really understand what you mean. That little thing keeps annoying me too, most of the times I believe I've sent the message but I haven't, leading me to missunderstandings.
My old Nokia n70 didn't have any problems with that....sometimes I miss that phone so much!
Please write down here whatever you find...

no that will not help. threaded sms is a PITA and is not what we are wanting.
yea so im getting no where with this.
its strange because this works fine on WM5
Is there an app available that will allow you to forward a received SMS thread from one phone to another.
I have spent hours on Google Play and there are tons of "forwarding" apps but they are "all or nothing". In other words, they will send all incoming sms messages from one phone to another, but I want to forward a thread that I have already received from my phone to someone else. Kind of like forwarding an email. I know I can open the thread, long press on a text message and forward just that text, but I want to be able to forward the entire thread. Is that even possible?

I know it used to be possible but duno anymore. I did a little search but couldn't come up with much. In the mean time, you could delete all the other threads and use the ''all or nothing'' app? Just an idea.
I'll post back if I find more.
Hi guys. This may sound prepostorous somehow lol. I am already diverting my voice calls from my s3 to another android device and now i would like to divert my sms messages also.
I've been reading a few things and i keep getting something about a gateway being needed or something along those lines. I understand ( i think ) the function of the gateway, but is there another way around them? Is there a way of diverting text messages from one android device to another without downloading free apps that don't work anyway or expencive apps that give you phone rage?
Oh, and i already know that text messages can be diverted to email addresses but it really would be neat is one can divert their sms messages from one android to another.
