[Q] App that blocks incoming calls from certain users - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Basically I am looking for an app that will allow me to sort my contacts in groups and will block certain groups to call me for example during the night but other group of people will be allowed to contact me during the night, weekends, etc.
Nokia has this option as default but I am not aware of this feature on my Desire S.
Thanks in advance.

[REQ] Allow users to designate a ringtone if the Caller ID doesn't match any contacts

This is a feature that my Palm Centro and Pre both had. It was handy to know before answering the phone that the call came from someone that wasn't in my list of contacts. (I had The Who, "Who Are You?" as my ringtone.)
There's an awesome app in the Market from a dev here on XDA called WhoIsIt that can do this. The best way to describe it is like a notification app on steroids for OCD people, and I mean that in a good way!

(App request) SMS

Is there an SMS app here or on the market that I'm able to do the following.
is there a way to block / hide a specific person from texting u on the stock message app or on the market, like let's say I received a text from someone and than I don't want it to be shown on my stock app but on another sms app that i can only view with a password or etc..I only need one person not to be shown at all but all other text could come on the stock message app...the reason I ask its because I have a work phone n its suppost to be work only but sometimes I use it for personal reasons and than my boss gets in a habit of checking our phones that we are only using the phone work related.
Thanks

I think Call Master, which is in beta, does that.
Shady SMS is what I use. I absolutely love it. Hides their MMS as well.

Private SMS MMS box works too...it doesn't show up in your app drawer and you can set a custom notification icon and / or text notification... You use your dialer to enter your password...

Delivery report sound disable

Hi all.
Have rooted my s3 with the omega rom and using go launcher. Wanted to know, after having searched xda as well as Google, how to either - disable the deliver report sound OR disable the deliver report screen wake up. Its annoying when constantly texting a conversation to have to discard the notification of every sms received.
I like the implementation of the stock ics delivery report (just adds a tick mark to the sms) but the stock ics messaging app doesn't search threads by person. Only searches the messages. (So if there's a mod for that to enable search threads by person name as well then perfect, will ditch Samsung mms/sms app in a heartbeat).
Thanks
Kunal.

Try other sms apps in play store.

True but other apps don't replace the Samsung stock app. They just overlay it thus wasting precious resources. (As I understand it, please correct me if I'm wrong.)

Give it a try. Android quite good in handling resources. If it really cripple your phone, then just uninstalled it and find other solutions.

Have already tried Go sms or whatever the name is. Best sms I've found is the stock ics app but as stated in my 1st post, it for some reason doesn't search by threads only by messages. so if I have a thread with you, a search by your name won't yeild the thread as a result. only such messages where your name is mentioned will be shown. If there's a mod for that then that's perfect. Much better, lighter and faster app than the stock Samsung app.

Any senior member knows a hack for this? Come on I'm surprised the delivery report tone and wake screen hasn't irritated anyone else?

It has iiritated me too
I, on the other hand, prefer to use any other SMS than the stock one, but any other program will not disable the Delivery Reports.
It is very annoying that everytime you send out a message you get a "message delivered" reply, that I have to keep erasing every once in a while.
I have posted several times, in several forums, looking for an answer to this but apparently everybody enjoys knowing their messages reached their destination, as nobody seems to care.

To disable Delivery Notifications open Messages app --> Settings --> SMS Settings ---> Uncheck delivery notifications...
That disables delivery notifications. I like to know that the message is delivered. I just don't like that it sounds out like a normal sms and wakes up my screen. Just a tick on the sent message or a silent delivery report without the screen wake up is perfect. (Like in the stock ics mms app. However in the stock ics mms app one can't search for threads only for messages, while in the Samsung mms app thats possible).

This post is very old but if anyone had the same problem, just use the app "Messaging Notification". It solves the problem.
Thanks! This app is great! To recive proper funcionality I set "Silent" a ringtone in SMS app (to keep showing the SMS in notification bar) and everything else (the ringtones) I set in this app.

[Q] WhatsApp Lockscreen MIUI

Hey
I use MIUI v4 on my Sony Experia Arc S and it is great but now i have a question. Is it possible to show the last WhatsApp messages on the lockscreen like a SMS? I don't want to use the PopUp windows from Whatsapp.
I read about the object ContentProvier and it have to provide the data for other apps. So if the app stores the data in this object other apps can get the information from WhatsApp. Can anyone edit WhatsApp for this feature or do you have to edit the lockscreen app from MIUI too?
Would be very nice if someone can give me some information about this topic.
Greetings
Crosaider
well, actually, u can enable pop up in Whatsapp setting. under "pop up notification", click "always show pop up". It will show your messages even in lock screen.

Group Messaging

Hi Guys!
I hate the stock messaging app so I use GoSMS Pro for my texting. The problem is, whenever I get a group message, the app lags like crazy and if i get 3-4 group messages at a time, the phone becomes unusable. Is there another app that can group message effectively. I don't want an app that recieves group messages but then when it sends the message to the people in the group, they get it outside of the group message. Thanks!
I've seen others complaining, but I have no problems. I use GoSMSPro and in the pop up group messages come up as a picture and I have to open the app to see it, but no issues other than that slight inconvenience.
When I get a group message the phone actually goes through a two step process.
First, it tells me that I've received a picture from the contact that sent the group message. If you click on that message, it takes you to your individual chat with that person, which is very laggy.
Second, it combines that message with the group message, tells you that you've recieved yet another text, and then takes you to the group text, which takes 10-15 seconds to appear. If during that process, another group message has been sent by anyone else in the group text, the app more or less locks up and doesn't work at all for about 30 seconds.
Go dev apps are known to be slow and buggy. It was weird for me as well. I would recommend not using anything by them. There is an app of the playstore that is 99% the AOSP messaging app if you are interested.
What's the name of the app?
