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.

Very nice, I've been looking for an app like this for a while now. Just input a # you don't want to receive calls from and it will be blocked. Requires root, though.
Sure, you can use the built in "Send to Voice Mail" feature in Contacts, but that's not a good solution because 1) It clogs up my voice mail inbox and 2) I get an almost as annoying text notification every time someone that I have chosen to send to VM tries to call me.
The app is still pretty new, so it's lacking a few features I would like (such as regexp patterns), and I'm not sure it'll block text messages as well (which would be nice), but it's definitely a very good start.

I just downloaded it gonna start putting number in it. Do you know if you can use it to block unknown numbers?
I haven't actually tried blocking my home phone in it to try it out for myself, but supposedly what this app does is to send the caller directly to voice mail, just like the feature that's already available to us in the default contacts app. That's not quite what I'm looking for, as that means I will still get those annoying notifications and the voice mail inbox will (might) get clogged up.
Perhaps what I'm looking for is just not possible, but simply put I want an app that interceps an incoming call/text, cross-refs it against a black list, and if it's a match - mimics a red phone button press (decline)/refuse the text message - all within a few milliseconds. It would also be nice if it stopped the number from getting logged in the call log.

I'm pretty sure that what this application does is to receive the phone call (it may do half a ring) and immediately answer it and hang up. This should avoid the problem of sending it to voicemail.
i have been talking to the dev since release, the callers do NOT go to voicemail so it won't clog your voicemail manny.
also it cannot be used to block Unknown numbers so fo that you would need to write your app(i am trying but it is very hard to do when you don't know exactly what you are doing). but the dev claims that if you put in 1800 in the block box then it will block ALL 1800 numbers that call you. seems pretty good but i haven't been able to test it yet(crazy ex might have finally gotten the hint)
EDIT!! as soon as i posted this i got an update on it and now you are able to choose between unknown numbers or blacklisted numbers, i suggested checkboxes to select both, as well as text message block, but i am not sure how possible that would be

Really? I use the built in feature and I don't get a text when someone on my blocked list calls. It will show up in the call log but I don't get a text or notification unless they leave a VM.
where can i download? please?
I decided to start developing my own version..
^^^That is cool let us know, I am willing to test it. The developer has stopped updating this app.
Good to hear your making a new app. This one bugged me as it wouldnt block 1-800 type numbers..
Yes!
Joey3002 Please post it when completed. I cant find the other app anywhere. If you take paypal donations, I will send some $ after you post it. Thank You!
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...

Hi
Is there an app that allows you to send and recieve txtx from the G1 through the PC ?. I have a nokia and use pc suit to send and recieve txt through pc at work. Just wanted to know if you can do something the same on G1/Android ?
Google Voice. Get an invite, setup a new number, and send text messages through "voice.google.com" with that new number.
just use an email address?? I send/recieve texts from the wifey all the time from exchange. although it would be awesome if there was a program to redirect all incoming texts to an email address so if someone were trying to get ahold of me, i'd know now and not 8 to 16 hours later. (prisons don't allow cell phones.)

I thought about posting this earlier.... there's a huge downfall to it: getting people to actually text that new number.

I could see the difficulty in that lol.
Although, what I did was go to "contacts.google.com" and create a group of all the people I text on a regular basis. Downloaded "Contacts GroupU" from the market, then re-sync'd my contacts. Opened up Contacts GroupU, long pressed the group name and selected "Send SMS." Finally, notified them of the new number.
Hey all! I recently got my new Xperia tl from att. One thing I have yet to find is a message limit to convert SMS messages to mms messages. All of my other phones I've owned would either automatically change SMS messages to mms messages after say like 5 pages were written, or you could select the type of message. The reason why I ask is when a message is like 5 pages long the person in talking to usually gets 5 messages but they almost never come in the right order so its like trying To put a puzzle of messages together! Haha. So is there any way to set a limit to.change the message type after the text gets to certain length? Thanks all!
I think that a five message long could be divided with a few Full Stops. Or send a email, better I think for such a long message.

You could use a third party mms message app.
Now that you have asked your QUESTION and I have ANSWERED it, can you recognise which section this thread should have been posted in?
Thread moved. Please post all your questions here in Q&A in future.

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.
