[Q] How to Stop Kitkat Dialer from Adding Favorites - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Anybody know a way to get the Kitkat dialer from adding contacts to my favorites?

You can always swipe to delete them, I have yet to see them come back after I delete them.

Thanks, I already knew that, but I would rather find a way to make it not happen.

I'd love to find a way to make this happen too.
Ever since I got KitKat I've been butt dialing people, even with a pin lock screen. I don't want any one on the favorites screen for this very reason, but it then just adds anyone you call.

Well I'm with you guys.. Kind of annoying. If it can be done I'm sure you'll find a. Way spotmark

[Q] People recovering my deleted texts!

So I decided to sleep over at my girlfriends the other day and woke up to her yelling at Me. The then got mad at me for testing other girls that were just my friends ( I know, It's kind of ridiculous). Anyways the strange part is I had deleted the messages and then she told me she knows how to view deleted messages. So I've been looking around online for a while now and I haven't heard of any way to view messages when they are deleted. Oh by the way she isn't very tech savvy. So any ideas how she is viewing messages that I have deleted? Also I'm using handcent, but the messages are not on the stock messaging app.
Any chance she installed some kind of app on your phone another time that keeps your texts and email in memory seperately. Oh yeah and find a new girlfriend, even though she was right she shouldn't be invading your privacy that much.
Pimpin ain't easy. In the meantime, you should keep a screen lock on it.

Mm it will be hard to tell with Android , anyways , some people is having problems erasing sms because they come back up in the device(I think is HTC sense.com ) but.you should just lock the screen, and if she ask you why you locked it , well tell her that you want to make sure if you loose it don't want anyone messing with it ha ha

She quoted the conversation almost perfectly ha... So either she has it sent to her phone VIA some spyware app that i haven't noticed, or she found a way to outsmart half the world and bring texts back from the dead... Ha any ideas guys? I don't like the idea that someone can read my deleted messages.
Time for a factory reset/wipe (get rid of any hidden software) and a lock code...

Ya maybe. It would be nice to know how she did it. Plus Idk how she will react to lock codes. I guess we will see.
From the msg list screen in handcent hit the menu button. Then select more. Hit delivery report. This shows all sent msgs but not received. Not sure if that is what she was looking out. from the report if you hit menu you can clear the log.
Freak I think that was it! Sweet! is there something like that on the stock messaging app or just handcent? Thanks a ton!
There are ways to recover erased text messages.
Most likely, you have a sms logger, something like smsbox.
As a side note, I would get rid of someone spying on me. Trust is a major part of a relationship, spying shows no trust, which dooms any future.
Make sure the sms/mms forward feature is disabled. Maby she set it up to forward your messages to her email or phone. (Messaging, Menu, Settings, Forward To...)

get this app
The hidden message app. Been using it a while .. makes cheating a breeze ! It looks like a stupid stoner app. But really hides all messages and calls to a privite folder that u need a pw to get at !!
If you have Google Voice integration the Google Voice app holds a longer history.
Maybe you're really trying to get us to help you recover her deleted messages. Judy kidding. Maybe she's using Dexrex

Make delivery report simpler?

First android device and loving it and I was just wondering if it was possible to make delivery report simpler with messaging app? By that I mean not to get voice and notification every time but rather it would just have little tick, change color or add delivery time in the app itself? Or is that something that can't be done?
I read people recommending go sms pro, handcent and such apps and I tried those 2 but didn't really like them.
Possible.
Use a different messagin app like GO SMS etc.

Might be because I'm new but I really didn't like that app. Read there are ads in app comments, don't really feel safe allowing 3rd party app to control my messages and it kinda felt bloated, too many options, too flashy, too much to do.
I'm perfectly fine with built in one just want at least the sound gone.

I've never got an ad with go sms. Give it a try, no harm in doing so.

I tried it, maybe I can customize it to look more like standard app, is it safe tho? As in no weird sms sent, copied somewhere etc?
Yeah I know tooon of people use it but I'm still paranoid
I didn't like that it had ton of options I don't need and maybe it will hog more memory/power etc. I'll dl dark theme, was too bright also but that's something else
Oh and I can't download it from store, it says something about not available in your country, gotta install from different source.
Edit: Made it the way I like, using it now.

Incoming calls have +1 on numbers? Acts as intentional number?

Running beans rom and when I get a call it always shows a+1 then the number and the phone thinks it ab international number so I have to remove it to make the call. Any way around this? I'm willing to change roms if someone can confirm a different rom doesn't do this.
Thanks a bunch

I'm on Beans as well. I never noticed it, but it looks like mine is the same way, it has appended a "1" to all my contacts. I rarely make calls, and when I do I almost never use contacts db, but I can see how this would be annoying. My incomming call log does however show the numbers correctly. Honestly I would not even be willing to say it's Beans that has done this. It has been so long since I used the contacts dialer, that my contacts could have been appended and backed up and restored by google who knows when.
Later,
Jason
**Edit** I take it back, I looked through more of them, and it seems random as to whether they have the 1, and if you truly mean +1 as you said in the original post, I dont see that showing up anywhere, in my contacts or call log. GL
I know what you mean mine has done that I just edit and delete the one then save so it annoying but deal -able ya know

[Q] Change preset text messages?

When rejecting a call you get a choice of preset texts to send, is there a way to change these like I could on my S3?

Did you ever figure out how to do this? This is something I'd like to be able to change as well. I know I can send a "one-off" text by using the blank line option that comes up in the list of presets. But I'd like to be able to have a preset that says something like "I'm driving, will call back later". If you figure out how to do this, please let me know! Thanks!

Yeah, it's bizarre. Even my old Razr could edit the predefined messages. And I'm pretty sure that my old WinMo 6 phone had the ability too. I've been using custom preset text messages since I can remember. Well, hopefully HTC will add it in an upcoming update. Until then, I'm going to look into a custom clipboard app so I can at least easily paste in a preset message in the custom response field when that reply by text prompt comes up.
This was really bothering me because it has to be there... And I finally found it! Open an existing thread in the sms app, tap in the text field like you're going to reply, and then open the menu and select quick text. From there you can add, edit or, delete. Seems silly that it is no longer an option in the dialer.

Phone goes to Gallery after viewing MMS pix?

Hi all. Does anybody know how to fix this issue? It's driving my girl crazy.
She gets a picture MMS, views it, and then hits the 'back' button to go back to her messages. But instead of going back to her messages, it opens the Gallery! WTF? LOL
She says it's been doing it since the most recent update, but I remember her talking about this months ago. So I think it may have been the first update.
Can anyone help with suggestions? She's on the Stock ROM.
Thanks!

Questions should go in the Q&A forum. I would think that somewhere along the way when your gf chose to open a pic in mms...The S4 asked her what app to use and if to use only once.. I suspect this now the default and I'm not sure how to reset the default.

Sorry about the wrong forum. I realized that a few minutes after I posted.
Ahh, good call. Maybe if I go to Manage Apps and clear data in either Gallery or Messages, it'll fix the problem. The question then is will she lose her texts or photos in doing that?
