I know this is kind of an odd request. I dug around quite a bit but couldn't find anything relevant. I'm currently using CM6. I want to basically give my kiddo the phone to play around with, as she keeps trying to hijack the wife's g2. I just don't need her accidentally dialing 911. If there is anyway to kill the dialer without gimping the rest of the OS that would be perfect. Any help would be very appreciated.

Im in need of some assistance here, i have a nuisance caller txtin me all the time with silly things to say. Im a Team Leader in a Security Company and its my job to keep people on and let people go. Theres been lots of different people who have left due to my decision for management. Now im getting nuisance txt messages from a number which i would like to trace.
Ive looked at different types of websites, followus, trackme and all these need confirmation before the tracking process can begin. Is there anything out there that can help me in my quest for justice? Is it possible for someone to create a little app for the kaiser to get me some details regarding this fool who has not stopped stressing me out? Im a single dad with 2 kids to look after and im not getting any sleep due to this.
Any help would be grateful!
Before you ask
- I cant just turn my phone on silent as i am on call 24/7 also my mum is critically ill in hospital and i cant afford to miss calls.
- I dont want to block the number as i would like to know who this person is.
- Ive called my service provider and they have a 'all or nothing' policy
- I dont want to change my number because that means this person wins and i lose my number which i have had for 10years
Not sure if this is of any help.

Im gonna give this a shot, but im really looking for something that will give the senders location away. Also im not really getting much calls, most of them are txted messages.
But thank you anyway for your suggestion
Dont know if this will help but get a blacklist program for winmo and add his name to it. I can remember the names of some but there are a lot that work well, you add the phone number, and nothing more from this person.

Hi!
First of all, I don't know where to fit this post, since I'd believe it's more gingerbread related than Nexus, but on the Android topic only hacking/development/themes are mostly supported, so I don't know how appropiated would it be.
So, here it goes. I'm living in Hong Kong, and recently moved to a new apartment, where GSM coberture reception is poor to say it kindly. However we have a properly working cable provider, with internet access, and a wifi router configured. So my idea would be, as soon as the mobile detects the wifi, change into wifi mode, and send the calls through voip.
Could I still keep my phone number? I mean, if somebody calls, I'd like the call to be sent through voip, so I wouldn't loose coberture.
I THINK google voice does this kind of stuff, but I'm not sure...Never was activated for me. Well, to be honest, now it doesn't give me the "we are currently working with several providers from different countries" ****, it actually lets me in...to a very limited menu where I can't do anything
Anyway, I can't figue out how to set my number to work, so I guess it's still disabled somehow. In the meantime, I'd like to make this VoIP redirection work, is there an easy way? How would you guys do it?
Thank you!
How many times? Seriously? There is a freaking section called Q and A, and at the VERY top, FIRST thing in this forum:
DO *NOT* POST QUESTIONS IN THIS FORUM - only tips/info/etc.
Ops. Sorry. I didn't see the post. I guess that's why I was asking first where this post would belong to. IS there any way to move this to the proper thread? Or should I repost again?
Thank you!
Please, could anybody help me on this? Thank you!
So here's my story. A couple of weeks back I had started to notice that my phone wasn't ringing when people were calling me. Through a bunch of troubleshooting found out that it seems to be my google voice account that is causing my calls to go directly to google voice. I also use google voice on my tablet as it is a lot nicer to do stuff on the bigger screen. When i looked under the settings found there was something about (Sorry this is weird) "dogfood" settings. When i clicked on it it said something about sending feedback. I backed out from there. (A little freaked out as to what that might do.) Did not have this "setting" on the phone. Needless to say I un-installed wiped the tablet. Did the same with the hero. Put new roms on both and I would be able to receive calls for a short period of time. Then after a couple of calls it would start to send calls to voicemail again and I wouldn't be able to make calls out. So finally took google voice off of both the tablet and phone and disabled google voice and now I can make and receive calls.
My problem is really like google voice and want to use it. Anyway around this? Part of the reason that I'm asking is that I see Matt uses google voice too and was wondering if anyone else had been having this problem. I don't know if there is any other app that works similarly if anyone has any suggestions let me know.
Sorry for the long post but its kinda weird and didn't wanna post "Google voice f-ed my phone" and then have to walk everyone through the troubleshooting I had already done.
Thanks.
OK this is going to sound stupid and quite obvious but..in the phone app> menu>more>settings>do not disturb. Is that off or on?
I have been using G-voice for a while now and I have never had any issues. But I do have that "dogfood" under menu on the phone app.
I remember checking on that a few different times because I remembered reading about it some time ago. I don't think that was it. It seems like someone was having trouble with that on the with the aosp/cm thread a long time ago. I was concerned with that dogfood thing but maybe it is nothing. just google having fun.
I will check on the settings thing and flash to DX and test some more.
Thanks for the info. Will let you know.

I have a good question... When you installed Google Voice at the setup screen did you hit Next at the first screen that mentions Sprint integration? This is most likely what is causing it sir. Try reinstalling GV. Then open it. When that prompt comes up again hit Skip this time. Then following the remaining instructions. It should work perfectly after this.
It sounds like an initial setup issue. I would reinstall the application again. I've been using GV without any issues.
Actually got it working sorry for not posting back. After formatting boot, system, etc. It started working correctly. Must have been something that wasn't getting erased during the normal wiping between roms.
Google Voice issues.
I too had similar problems and finally thought of going into my actual Google account and changing how Google voice handles my calls. Works ever since I did that.

I don't know how many times I had to re-install GV on my and my friends' phones before remembering that trying to integrate with Sprint's Visual Voicemail just doesn't work..

You can integrate, but you might need to go into the actual account (not the app) and make sure that it is set up not to ring to the phone and not the internet number (or whatever that option is). My issue, besides every text message going through GV, was that I couldn't make an international call. I had a credit but it would never go through AND I couldn't make a call without it using GV even when I told it not to. Maybe I should have tried to go into the account to check on that too? LOL I went back to just using GV as my voicemail.
They fubarred this whole integration. In theory it sounded good but update after update they still don't get it.
I'm using a HTC One on TrickDroid 8.0.0 and I recently got the 'com.android.htcdialer has stopped' message...it didn't seem to relate to anything I've done to the phone in terms of rooting or installing the ROM, but I noticed online some people were suggesting it might have something to do with a recent skype update?? I've also read elsewhere that this has actually affected people's dialers, which hasn't happened to me - all that has happened in my case is that I've lost all the contacts in my list and when I get missed calls I can never see them or the number they've come from, both of which are pretty annoying!
Anyone any ideas? Bear in mind I'm a bit of a rookie so answers in words of one syllable (understandable by someone who doesn't have a clue!) would be much appreciated.
Cheers
