I've been unwillingly receiving some advertisement sms which charge my account once the sms is opened.
Is there a way to delete an sms message without opening it?.
TIA

yes, maybe some kind of code you can send to your operator/advertisement-sender which can stop the automatic messages, i know that kind of msgs sucks just find a way in google, i know different users experience that alot
You can download "SMS Popup" from the market. However you will need to manually configure it into "Privacy Mode" (or something similar). Once done, you will get a popup everytime you get a message, along with 3 options to "Open Message", "Delete" (without opening) or "Go to inbox".
I had the SMS POpup on my stock ROM but don't need it now on MIUI...
Thanks.
Are you sure it doesn't open the sms?
The android market page for this app reads:
NOTE: SMS Popup does mark message as "read"
so as far as the mobile carrier is concerned, the sms has been received & read, so it will still charge for those spam sms.
@mike,
pls refer to my previous post - the app opens the SMS by default - but once you go to settings and enable privacy mode, it won't read the msg. A message is not marked as 'Read' as long as it's in privacy mode and you don't specifically open it. (Even the LEDs will continue blinking till u don't open the message)
It's a free app, so u can download and check that out.
Thanks for the info
If your with vodafone phone the operator and they will ban the number from your sim

SMS popup is nice, but does it show a history of all the sms, like the stock sms app on A2.1 does?
Also, to avoid duplicate notifications I've unchecked the "notifications" in the stock sms app, but it no longer shows incoming messages in the messages log. is this a bug, or is this related to sms popup "hijacking" the sms?
TIA

I found some program on the market for sms but they don`t have message details(when the message was sent not when i receive it) like I had on my old phone..
Is there any application which provide message details?
sorry for my English...
ChompSMS and Handcent are good. Download both and see which suits you more.
I use chompSMS and its good, long pressing on the conversation list brings up lots of options. And yes, message details for individual messages are also there.
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
Here are the default 2.1 apps.
download the .apk and install as normal .apk.
in handcent u can`t see when message was sent only when you receive it...
can you see in chomp sms when the message was sent?
I just installed GO SMS Pro and it works great but the problem is that of multiple incoming text message notifications. The stock messaging application as well as GO SMS notify so I disable the notifications of stock application but on the lock screen it displays number of unread messages though the messages are read already. The stock messaging application doesn't recognize that the messages have been already read using the GO Sms Pro. How do i disable it? I mean the stock messaging application and its lock screen unread message count notification?
Go to the stock messaging app, settings and disable "automatically read messages" or something like that.

It is called auto-retrieve... seriously, did you take any time to really look at the options instead of forcing others to switch the language of their phone to English?

Probably only temporary... the only real fix would be to uninstall the stock app which will likely screw your MMS (in case you are using it). (There is some Go SMS beta for testing here @ XDA with more complete MMS functionality in case you are interested.)

Doesn't help, still shows the unread message count in lock screen.

As said in the quoted message. (And frankly not worth wasting the time, given how useless the lock screen is.)
Auto-retrieve is associated with MMS got nothing to do with the unread TEXT message notifications

Well, as said, it worked here, otherwise I would not mention it. Let us just abandon this topic since obviously there is no solution beyond the mentioned one which involves uninstalling the stock app. (Or installing a ROM with a useful lock screen.)
Install both handcent and go sms... only keep the notifications of go sms.. thts it u dont get any sms notifications on your lockscreen.!!
use only handcent sms instead of go sms pro. this solved my sms count problem on the lock screen
My S3 automatically changes a test message to an MMS once it reaches 3 messages long. Is there any way to change this so that it will always be sent as an SMS regardless of its length?
Thanks
That's the usual way the stock sms app behaves.
If you want to prevent this, you have to use another sms app like for example "GO SMS" or "Handcent SMS"
Using GlowFly, SMS Enhancer, and SMS Popup (all similar apps), and their Quick Reply feature, stock messaging and Chomp both show the same message going out twice (the recipient actually receives one message).
I believe this is because of KitKat's new requirement of a default SMS app being the only one that can send. However, Quick Reply circumvents it, and I think it results in this bug.
Anyone know what I can do to fix it? I love the feature.
Thanks!
Please let me know if this is not the right forum.
Hello!
I've installed CM11 on my girlfriends S4 Mini. So far everything's fine, but she's really angry because of a SMS problem. On the original firmware it was possible to send long messages as one "message bulb". Directly from the SMS app as well as over airdroid. Now with CM11 messages are splitted in 160 parts. No change with "SMS Messageing AOSP", "hangouts" or Airdroid. The "SMS Messaging AOSP" app is capable of showing long messages as one message, but viewed in airdroid (wich she uses frequently for having better overview, making backups etc..) they are still splitted up. I saw other messages she wrote on original firmware and they are very long. I think she was able to write up to 3 or 4 sms in one message, wich then of course cost accordingly. But it was possible and normal. I know that at some point SMS got transformed in MMS, wich is more expensive, but she's willing to pay more for the better overview in the history.
Is there any chance to achieve that with CM11?
Thanks
in sms app if u find it >> Click Menu > Settings > SMS Split .. and disable it

What I did
Hi, I had that problem with my I9190, so I rooted the phone, also install the Xposed apk (you must to activate the framework before continue) and finally I use the allow long mms apk for Xposed, then I restarted the phone and now I can send up to 12 mms in one message.
I hope it can help you.
