Hey all, I already asked this in an older but related thread, and received no replies, so I'm hoping the more specific topic here will help.
Why can we not copy from received gtalk messages? Isn't part of the point of a smart phone that we can copy say, an address someone sends us into google maps? Or a phone number?
This is the one major area of android that I believe is lacking behind WinMo. Is there an app that will allow me to copy from a gtalk message, or some system setting i can change with root?
Thanks all,

Same with the gmail app - its a big gap in functionality as far as I'm concerned.
You need to call someone who has their phone number in their email sig - you have to write it on your hand and then dial the number
I know, I had to do it the other day
I have gotten several text messages from some spam numbers. a few have come from the same number, and a single one from a different number.
i know i cant block all potential spam texts, but is there a way to block a certain number if several of the texts are coming from that number?
on another note, why the heck would i be getting spam text messages? anyway to find out why or how?
Thanks
You are getting spam from people you give your phone number too... companies that sell that info to advertisers and such. If you text your radio station, they will spam you... if you do the fastest text thing at the baseball game, they could spam you... there are a bunch of reasons you get spam messages.
As for blocking specific numbers from texting you: YOU CAN'T YET...
"Can I block messages from a specific number?
No. At this time you are not able to block messages or calls from a specific mobile number. You can set up a filter if the message is coming from an e-mail address. For more information, go to How do I filter e-mails sent to my phone?"

You can block calls? Well blacklist them, and they can only leave a VM, but your phone wont ring.
Calls isn't the issue I don't think... at least not for me. I have all the phone numbers from telemarketers noted under a 'telemarketer' contact that I just ignore. Is that what you mean by 'blacklist'?? Simply assign a silent ringer to them and ignore them when they call??
I called tmo and they can't block certain numbers, u have to dl an app, search sms block or something, there is a few on the market
ill check out the app. thanks guys. its mostly texts, only a call here and there. i dont text my radio station or anything like that, so not sure how i got on these lists.
like i said, its not really calls so black listing them wont really work. ill look for an app to block sms like 98 classic said
You can also use Mr. Number. When a text or call comes in from an unknown number it'll try and locate it for you. A notification will pop up on the screen prompting you to save, spam, or simply ignore the number. If you spam it, you can see other people's reports about that number as well as report it yourself. This also blocks incoming texts from the number as well.
Works like a charm!

App: Handcent SMS
Not only can you blacklist (block all contact) from specific numbers...but it is arguably 10x better than stock messaging app and is highly customizeable

And it also hogs your phones memory, lags it down and uses twice as much battery as the stock messaging app

Buy something from t-mobile called "Allowances" and block the numbers on there.
It works like a charm
Hi folks,
I was studying how to process a call internally in android. I found that in android 2.3 Google blocked some 'background' API that developers used to answer and decline calls.
But, i found that some apps around web have functionality of blocking or answering calls. But i didn't found how to make a specific action that is just ignore some call, without user interaction.
What is ignoring a call?
Let the incoming call ringing for the other-side caller, but doesn't display nothing on my android phone.
I know some developers around here know how to do that, so please, give me some tip. I want to know how to do that programmatically.
PS: I don't know if i'm asking in the correct forum, please say yes
Thanks and Peace.
I posted this in other forums, but have not found an answer. Hence this post. I would think this is a known problem because its so basic, but anyhow, here goes ...
I am a recent convert-in-process from Blackberry, but there are a couple of things for which I need to find a workaround. The main one is: Call logs do not retain the extension: e.g.,
Office: 123-456-7890
Worker1: 123-456-7890;1234
Worker2: 123-456-7890;5678
If I call Worker2, it will show up in my Call Log as "Office".
If I have only Worker1 and Worker2 on my contact list, calling Worker2 will show up as the first instance in the Contact list alphabetically where the main number is used -- in this case, it will show up as Worker1.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks,
--amit
Hey all,
i am new in this forum. I need a very simple application that does the following.
When an incoming call is received, search within my calendar (preferable the calendar of my choice) and if the phone number is found for any calendar entry, display on my screen the event details.
I need this simple application so i will not have to save every single caller in my phone book.
Please help since i cannot find anything.
Thanks Heraklis

I've never seen one like that...but I was in kind of a similar situation because I get a good amount of calls for my business and often like to save the number with some notes for a few days or few weeks, but not necessarily in my contact list so I found this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apps.sreeni.qcktag&hl=en
When you "tag" a caller and they call back then you will see a pop-up with the name / info you added for the tag. So convenient to help keep organized.
thanks but...
Thank you for your reply but this is not what i need. I have call reminder pro which is similar, but this is double entry for me and it is time consuming. Any other solutions?
