well recently ive been getting a lot of calls from people i dont recognize, some i recognize but others i cant honestly say....and usually that wouldnt be a big deal but they call me 4 or 5 times, and i dont want to pick up if it snt someone i know but if there calling me 4 times it could be important....for example, yesterday i was called 4 times by a number i didnt recognize, and the best i could do is google the area code, and it came up as california, but i live in new york....

I don't use app for this kind of concern, I consider using website like searchphonenumber(dot)website where I can get the result quickly.

How to you prevent google play upgrade?

I have the apk for the 3.4.4 market. I froze the market updater but when I install the Market apk within 5 minutes it updates to play. Is there a way to prevent the upgrade?
What's the big deal with preventing the update? Looks like exactly the same market with a name change to me. Just wondering what I'm missing and in no way trying to be a jerk.

You dont want to stop the update because if you do, you will not be able to get apps or update current apps with the old market.
Anything else that relies on the newer market will fail as well. I doubt you could stop it anyway..
Install an older version of the Market and use Titanium Backup to freeze the Market Updater...but there's no good reason to not update.
The new market is great! LOL, it is pretty much the same. The only difference if you have a tablet and that allowed you to purches music through the app. Again looks pretty much the same. New name

personally the name change is annoying as all hell, google quit trying to program your brand name in my brain, when i want to buy and app or something i want to go to the market or to the store, not go to the google and pick up a new app.
every-time i'm in a rush trying to pull something from the app market i can't find the bloody icon because i'm looking for the market or in the old location on my app drawer, minor change i know but i have caught myself cussing at google when i needed to re-d/l my gps app after it crashed during a trip i as on a few days ago.
any chance of renaming the new app back to market without root?
Just use a launcher and if already do, just change the name duh..lol that's what I did ....

I also would like to learn how to get around using Play. The new terms seem to allow Google to read my sms messages and record the message routing. I don't think my correspondents would appreciate having their thoughts being part of Google's repertoire.

What conspiracy theorist cooked that up?
The only way to get around using Google Play is to not use android. What you're asking is the equivalent of saying you want to use an iDevice without the app store.

Looks like Ill be going back to a simple phone as I agree with the previous poster... Google is requiring a full disclosure of everything you do. Not just GPS tracking...
Call me what you will...
You can download apps from other sites like blackmart

Memory needs > any update
I have a very good reason for not wanting auto-upgrades. Radio Shack misled me about the HTC Wildfire S and now I've got jack for memory. I have four apps installed, use only the native message app, and I'm lucky to have 25mb free. Anything less than that and the phone works as well as the Pony Express does today.
FWIW, Tandybot told me I could always install apps on the SD card. In theory, yes, but so few app devs code apps to work in that manner. Lesson learned.
kite edit: SNIP! No need for that kind of attitude around here, I'm afraid.

[Q] sms sniffing

Greetings to everyone
I have question about security. I have to know what options are there to find out sms conversation. I use Handcent sms in which I use privacy box with one person to determine that noone else except me would know what we are texting about. But one thing happened. Third person know what exactly we are texting about, even if I constantly deleted sms everyday. I can't imagine the way how he find out this.
I study software development so about security I know something. I know that handcent saves database of sms even if they are deleted or not. I used sqlite to find out what is exactly in the db and find out, that this is not right way how he find out. I also find out that in handcent autobackup option was checked, but noticed that when you delete sms, backup file changed and there were only sms i intented to be there. I also tried antivirus programs to find out if there is some kind of malware or trojan, nothing found.
So my question is: what options of finding out sms conversation are there? Even if third person can access mentioned mobile phone or not?
I will appreciate any good advice

Was it a known person? Or a random person? If he was a friend/person you know, then he either heard through the grape vine or got your phone or the person you were textings phone. I dont think there is a way to "hack" your phone from a computer and view the texts you sent. Unless he got them from your carrier.

Yes, it was person we both know. He had access to the phone, but with deleted sms with no backup.. It's possible to get this informartion through mobile operator?

Yes it is but would need to go through tones of red tape and have to be a Cop of some kind.
Most likely it was who ever you were texting. There are also other ways that it could happen. Apps that forward all texts to another number used to be a big one back in windows mobile days. Not sure if there is an app like that for android

It's probably the problem that this person has a friend which works for vodafone which this phone uses. Forwarding all texts is not possible i think, because this person would catch up on this earlier..

There used to be an app that could be installed that did all this with the user even knowing about it. Once installed it was hidden away and it never showed that the messages would be forwarded. It was a proof of concept app that someone made for learning. If they had someone working for the company it would have to be a higher up to have access to the cached data bases the company keeps which are encrypted.
I have a feeling the OP was ratted out by the one they were texting.

About the company, this person works here on higher places, dont realy know what is his position some kind of IT specialist, gonna investigate this..

Google Voice Broken?

Searched around and found other people with the same issue, but no solution. Basically, on either my daily driver (Ineffablis 1.0) or any other ROM I flash, Google Voice no longer functions properly. I can install the application, but when I go to make it my voicemail provider, it tells me that my carrier (Verizon) isn't supported and that I will need to configure manually. I've done the *71, *90, and *92 routes to try and get it to work, and it just doesn't. Has anyone else experienced this, and has anyone found a solution?
I don't think you can set up google voice as default voicemail on verizon phones period because I have this problem with my incredible and had it with my Rezound
Edit: never mind lol
I had google voice on my incredible for over 2 years, and recently the same here on my Rezound, but I apparently something has recently broken...
I have also used Google Voice on Verizon, almost from when it first came out. I have no issues, but I haven't changed anything in awhile.
Been using it since the Incredible, never had an issue

When you get that message just back out of the app, then go to to VM settings on the phone and press my carrier. It will let you change it to GV and you'll be good to go
Pm me if you can't get it I'll walk you through it

Thanks jaysckap, but I actually managed to figure it out! I tried your idea but it kept giving that same error regarding the carrier not supporting automatic configuration. Ultimately I found somebody on arstechnica who had the same issue and said that they just went into the Verizon website and forced call-forwarding there instead of trying to use the application. Once I did that I was good to go, Google Voice is back in business!

I'm on verizon, but don't call anymore for my voicemail. If you go to the PC website for google voice, you can configure the voicemail to be handled by google voice. So, you get voicemail notifications like they would if they called your GV number.

DeskSMS stopped working

Hi folks,
I don't know where else to post this, since there is no official clockworkmod forum or anything like that.
basically I purchased a 1-year-subscription of DeskSMS (via Google Play in-app-purchase).....but only a few months later, it just stopped working.
It says "0 days remaining" - even though I should have 8+ months left
I have already sent the developer 2 emails (once trough the Google Checkout customer complaint interface), but he just flat out ignores all of my emails....
I've already tried uninstalling the app and deleting data (and even restoring an old version of the app with titanium)
but nothing seems to work....
...it seems like there is some sort of issue with the CWM licensing server for DeskSMS
is there anything I can do? it's borderline scam, that the developer just refuses to answer any of my mails

Any way to sync text messages between two phones?

hi, i know i can back up and manually upload to another phone but what im looking for is keeping texts constantly in sync. the idea being that i want to use one phone most of the time but for some occasions id like to swap the sim cards over into the other device.
i am aware that supposedly this functionality is baked into google voice but since im not american it doesnt work and hence not an option.
so is there something that would do this?

hmmm, app looks interestying but the website for the company doesnent even mention it and seems to be very comercial, i think they want to then charge you per redirected text which isnt really what im after.
