[Q] [PATCH REQUEST] Add ADD "SENDING NETWORK TIMESTAMP" OPTION to received SMS
Dear all,
the problem is simple...as is possible to notice, when sms arrive the displayed time is the received and not the sent one...
this fact is valid for all the new generation smartphones, iPhone included..
=> I really hate this fact because sometimes happens that my phone is off or it has not signal and, after the signal is back again, I receive tons of SMS with the same time....and perhaps some of them all already "expired" since they are referred to a past event...
old phones like Nokias, ecc. displayed ALWAYS the "sent time" and not the "received one"...
I've seen that has been already opened an issue on the Android Dev Code : http ://code. google. com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2989
what is more interesting to observe is that seems the base SMS application (but also Handcent SMS) uses the local handset time for the date called thru System.currentTimeMillis()...(http ://code. google .com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2989#c40)
and, as I've seen ([http ://code. google .com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2989#c39) it is possible to set the "network time" using the Android.Telephony.smsMessage.getTimestampMills()
now..could someone look into this issue and try to write a patch for our Galaxy S (but also for other phones should be the same..)? because I've not so much time and I'm not very familiar with Android code..
thank you very much,
Alessandro
up
please...could someone consider this? don't you think it's an interesting feature?
I would like this feature .
I for one would welcome this change.
I'll try to write some code today and see if I can read the timestamp.

I would like to see this in action too. I'm fed up of Android not supporting some of the most basic cell phone features .

many thanks
and I think it will also useful for all the Android community!!
oh... i used to view the properties of the msg to read the sent time with nokix, already forgot that it should be sent time but not rec time
Where is possible to find the sources of the native Android SMS application?
Could anyone post them (or something similar?)..then I'll try to hack the code
If i remember correct, the HTC Desire did not have this issue with default sms client.
Hope someone will find a fix for this annoying issue soon.
Possible fix
I know it's a little late but I found an app called SMS Timestamper Fix that seems to be working so far and it's free. Hope this helps.

Bump. I once had a mms.apk that had the sent timestamp instead of received timestamp. Now no developer knows how to recreate it.
Hello everyone.
I am in search of an app that can HIDE / BLOCK CALLER ID IN OUTGOING CALLS. This one is preferably for Indian users.
Hope to get answers soon
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Hmmm, an app wouldn't do this, although I guess it could if it placed the call for you. Really you would need a feature code for this. Common one is *67 followed by the number you're dialing. Your best bet is a google search like "sprint feature code" but using your carrier. You could also try using the word "star" in place of feature. Some carriers will not have all features of their phone system enabled.
Edit: I guess an app could possibly do it, you could also search "anonymous call" in the market to see.

Using Gingerbread or earlier:
1) Go to Settings
2) Call settings
3) Additional settings
4) Wait until it initializes the options
5) Caller ID
6) Hide number
7) go back and you're done
Using ICS:
1) Open Phone app
2) Click on Menu
3) Settings
4) Scroll down, click on Additional settings
5) Caller ID
6) Hide number
7) go back and you're done
I had a hard time finding that option in ICS (either on my Nexus S with ICS rom or on my Galaxy Nexus), so I used an app for a short while to hide my caller ID. There's quite a few on the market, but there's a free one which works great for me on ICS, it's called "myCallerID). I don't know if it will work for every country/carriers, but here's a link to it...

there was no such 'option' in the gingerbread.call some one and make sure that person is already toking to someone else.wen u call that person,"call waiting" will pop up on your screen so that u understand that the person was toking to someone before answering ur call.there is no option to enable or disable it.but if i call someone from my ics dialer it doesnot notify me with "call waiting"..if the otherbperson is talking.hope u understood.
Goto Setting>>Call Settings>>Voice Calls>>Call waiting - Check this to enable.
However, please understand that this is a network dependent feature, call your network provider and understand.

Try the following

The call settings is not present in the general android settings.
Goto Dialer >> Settings >> Additional settings >> Call Waiting - Check the check-box
However, please note that this is a network dependent feature.

Call conference is also available in ICS, while you are on 2 calls you would see a merge call icon. again it is a network dependent feature.
I desperately want to be able to replace my entire dialer for my HTC One. I am running ViperROM with the standard HTC Sense Phone Dialer. While i know there are many dialers in the google play I can use to Dial with, none of them are actually replacing the stock App because incoming calls and any dialed calls still open up the HTC Dialer. I realize this is not an easy task, because there are many different things that need to be replaced for this to happen. I will donate money for this app, something reasonable. I've always contributed to development that is deserved and will continue to do so. I assume this would be possible just with some work if devs could get the HTC Camera to work on the GE edition, maybe its the same idea of reverse engineering (I'm open to correction) In the following post, devs have managed to get the HTC Camera working on the GE version. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351965
**The reason I am wanting this is because I am used of my iPhone in which when I dialed a number, no matter if i used an area code or not It pointed to the persons contact (Aka global contact lookup). With the HTC Dialer, if I don't dial the number EXACTLY like it is stored then just shows up as a number in my outgoing and never shows the contact photo or the contact at all. Same thing for incoming calls if i do not have them stored with an Area Code. I have been told this may be something to with a patent dispute from apple and HTC, and HTC just never wanted to add it back. I know pretty much every other Manufacture that skins android this works fine with. Just not HTC.

It's easy for you to say that when you're used to it, but many of my close friends I know there numbers by memory and i find it extremely faster to just dial the numbers, and not just that when i store number i would not like to have it exactly like to comes in. This is the only phone i've owned in years that does this. It may seem like nothing to some people but me and a buddy both have this phone and both are used to dialing numbers from memory, which IMO is much faster.

As a matter of fact the HTC dialer searches by Name and Number at the same time so you should be covered with this dialer. still there are a whole bunch of dialers available at the Play Store. TouchPal is pretty good.

Sorry, but you obviously don't understand what i am saying. This is a known issue. And its not hard to reproduce. Find a phone number that is stored in your phone with an area code. Now dial that number without an area code. The contact will not show up when dialing out. Same thing if someone calls you and you do not have a number stored with area code. Vice versa. This is a known issue and has been talked about on different forums randomly. It is not hard to reproduce.

While I do appreciate your help, you're mistaken or don't quite understand fully. You do suffer this, EVERY HTC One ROM has this issue, i've talked to countless HTC Tech support its the same thing for everything. There are many forums about it. So you understand....
Store a contact with this the following:
337-555-5555
Name: Testing
...Now to test this open your normal HTC Dialer
and Dial 555-5555
---That contact will not show up
Hear thee hear thee. You can replace with AOSP dialer all you want. And it will look nice and all handy dandy and stuff. The second you hit call, you are back in the HTC dialer. And when you answer it will be HTC dialer.
You can delete the HTC dialer and it will not change.
You can delete the HTC phone app and replace with AOSP and then you are really screwed. Force closes galore.
The moral of the story is, if you want a full AOSP dialer on Sense, you're gonna have a bad day.

I thank you don't trying to help, but please read the whole post and especially the entire comment right above yours. When you make a call you still use HTC dialer and it starts dialing, and receiving calls which don't match up with contacts after dialing or receive unless contacts are exactly the same. Read.

That is your opinion but in my opinion it clearly states in everything I wrote what the issue was. And if they read the entire article they would not have posted some of those things. You may take that as rude, I just think anyone should read the entire post before commenting is all.

I did use the app, i've used many dialers, they will never actually replace the stock dialer after making a call that is built into the system, you can see this after you dial a number, it reverts back to HTC Dialer, Read the post tyler wrote above. I guess i am not explaining my self correctly.
Do the following:
Save a contact as followed:
Name: Testing
Number: 555-555-5555
Now do the following:
Open up any dialer of your preference. Dial 555-5555 Exactly like that. When you type that in you WILL SEE that correct contact.
Now as soon as you click the call button it will revert back to HTC Stock dialer, in which the contact does not match up without the exact number that it is stored as. You will only see "Dialing 555-5555" with no contact photo instead of "Dialing Testing" with a contact photo. Also, when you look at your call log you will see that correct contact, because you are using a thirdparty app, but when its ringing you will see HTC Dialer and if you do have the number saved EXACTLY like its stored then you will see the contact infromation. But if you have it stored as 555-555 and they call in with an area code which every phone number has...the contact will not show.
The only thing im asking here is if someone could replace the entire system dialer. While I appreciate people trying to offer ideas there is NOTHING that will fix this unless someone figures out how to effectively replace the system dialer completely, which as tyler wrote is very difficult. Using third party apps will not fix this issue.
This is also called global contact lookup, in which most apps can do this, which work fine before actually pressing Dial, then the system dialer takes over and if your number is not exact it will not show the contact.

hello,
In the dial pad I don't have the auto complete working, no proposition of a contact when I enter a known phone number.
I'm on 207 firmware but I'm (trying) making a slim version, so I may have deleted an app related ...
Any idea of what app ?
I din't find any option for that in settings.
Or a 207 bug ? probably not ...
thanks
[EDIT] So, do not delete SmartSearch.apk
Never make any changes to your phone or your ROM before making backup I am also making a custom ROM which has all features but I always get bigger errors than u.
Anyways for your problem try using a app from play store it will fix the problem ??

Launch the Phone app, tap the icon for the menu, and select Settings. A few items down you'll see an option for dial-pad autocomplete; check the box next to it. Most likely, that's the "problem".
The solution suggested above me, using "an app" (which one?) from the Play store or w/e, doesn't make any sense by the way...Just saying.

Damn, I don't have such menu in Phone app (3 vertical points icon), only :mask calls journal, delete calls, and filter calls journal
And on the stock 205 firmware, same thing (an other xperia sp, but autocomplete working).

Well, I do backups at every critical step in deleting apk's. The question is wich one give dial-pad autocomplete.
I also saw that AOSP 4.3 gives an option for this in Settings/Calls, but it's not present in Xperia ...
After a Factory reset, same thing.
So, an app is missing in my /system/app, or it's a 207 firmware bug
Will continue to investigate ... arrff ...
Dialer, contacts, phone
The only ones I can think of.
Back to stock 207 and it's working ...
Apk envolved in that will be hard to locate. Making a diff between stock and my Slim ROM does not let appear an obvious apk envolved ...
And the guilty is .... SmartSearch.apk !
Quite obvious actually ...
