Hi!
Can we deactivate sms and sound notifications of the samsung app?
I am going to use handcent sms so I dont want that but I cant see how do it.
Go into the samsung sms app, menu > settings > right to the bottom untick notifications.
thanks law!!
The only annoyance I'm finding is when I read a text in my SMS app, it doesn't register as 'read' on the Samsung SMS app or the Social Hub app, so I end up with a bunch of (1) icons next to the apps.

Hi,
Wasn't sure what forum to post in so here's my problem: I have a galaxy s2 (rooted) and an app or something else on my phone is sending out a paid text message. The cost is minor, around 10 pence a message but i would still like to know what is sending this message. It has done this a few times already. When i check my mobile bill (I am on Orange UK) it doesn't say where the message is being sent. I have normal apps on my phone nothing dodgy.
Any help will be appreciated.....
Got Avast installed?
Try using an app like LBE privacy guard or Permissions explorer to see which apps have the ability to send text messages.

I installed lookout. Nothing was suspicious. I realize this is the wrong thread, sorry
How often does it send the messages?
I only ask this because if it's frequent enough, an option would be to uninstall your apps one at a time so you'd be able to narrow it down to the exact app.
I'm a product of the system I was born to destroy!
Installed permissions explorer, checked list of apps that are allowed to send sms and it all seems normal but here's the apps:
AirDroid
DSMLawmo (system app)
Email (system app)
Exchange Services (system app)
Gangster Rio
Google Play Store
Messaging
Mobile tracker (system app)
OMACP (system app)
Phone
Samsung Apps
Software Update
SyncmIDS (system app)
Voice Search
WhatsApp
wssyncmlnps (system app)

+1 on using LBE to control what can send SMS.
Just set all apps to prompt you before sending SMS and you will see what did it

Thanks to everyone who has helped. I now have LBE guard installed and am monitoring apps
Hi everyone,
I've noticed something since I updated my phone to kitkat 4.4.2 (it's a Z1 compact).
Whenever I use another app than my default app to send SMS, eg. I'm using SMSPopup, Glowfly or event another "real" SMS app along with my default one (let's say hangouts or Handcent), I have duplicate sent SMS, that means I have twice my sent messages in my list. I didn't have this issue on JB.
I tried to tweak access/read/write permissions via AppOps but the result is still the same. I now have to use the same app for popups/Notifications and SMS. Other SMS apps are useless because they duplicate the text messages.
Does anyone has the same problem ? How can I fix this ?
Thanks a lot !

Make sure this is set correctly:
1. From your home screen, open Settings and head into “More…” under Wireless & Networks.
2. If running Android 4.4, you should see an option for “Default SMS app.”
3. Tap on that.
4. A window should appear with all apps that could be a potential SMS app.
5. Tap the one you want to use.

Sorry for a late answer and hope you get, or maybe you've already gotten, the issue resolved.
Will the watch receive notifications from Google Voice(mail) app on the phone?
Also, has anyone been able to use a 3rd party SMS app (phone) with this watch without issues? I'd prefer to use Google Messenger instead of the factory SMS app.
Thanks!
I just posted this in the other 3rd party question thread.
Just go into your gear settings app (on your phone). Go to notifications and select whatever third party app you want (includes sms). I use Textra for my SMS. I get all messages on my Gear S (except for MMS...just alerts me I have an MMS, doesn't physically show it like using the stock app). You can respond using the built in Samsung keyboard.

Thanks for the info. Ideally, I'd prefer to use S-Voice to respond to the Google Messenger notification on the watch but I know that's not possible.
Can we post here the list of safe apps to uninstall with ADB commands?
I just downloaded APK Extractor from the Play Store - I looked for any logos of the apps I would never use and removed them. I can't list every single one as they're all gone now. I only had an issue uninstalling the SMS messaging app. Had to reinstall that one as the system automatically defaults to it. Without it installed, I wasn't getting any texts coming through. Lame!
Great info !
Then uninstal chinese apps is easy and without risk with Apk Extractor ?
Only keep the original sms app and choose an other that we choice for Message (for me it's Signal).

Does Google Messages or any other app work for sending and receiving texts if you do not uninstall the default messaging app?

I don't think any messaging apps will work (Google Messages, Signal, etc.) because the Chinese ROM will force default to Oppo Messaging as soon as you receive an SMS/MMS.

Have you gotten Signal to work as the default app for both SMS and MMS (group messaging)?

How do you mean Oppo forces the official app Mail? It doesn't for me?
I've been using Blackberry Inbox for mail, and it works great and it is the default mail app on my Find N. I've actually uninstalled the official app (just using the normal app uninstall, not adb). So it doesn't force a different mail app for me, and in fact the official mail app is no longer on the phone.
I try now to uninstal official app Mail but in default app for mail it was already AquaMail but no notification for AquaMail ...

I must admit, I have notifications turned off for Blackberry Inbox, as I find mail notifications annoying (as I get too many), and I check my mail regularly anyhow. But you should get mail notifications if you make sure that AquaMail is one of the 5 apps you allow to auto startup, allow it to run in the background, and you turn off battery optimization for the app. Another tip would be to pin the app in task view so that when the memory is cleaned it stays in memory.

Can you do the same that you've done with defaulting mail app with sms/mms app?

I haven't tried as I'm fine using the stock SMS/MMS app, as I don't use SMS/MMS much (mostly Whatsapp/Wechat/Telegram, etc. these days). As I've said somewhere else, I usually try not to fight a new phone, but work with it, and the stock messages app works quite well, and has nice features like tap to fill when you receive a auth code, etc.
There is a setting to change the default messaging app; but others have had problems trying to use another messaging app or dialer/phone app as default (I assume did try setting the default to something else) and apparently it resets to the system default? Worth a go though.
Failing that, you could probably get it working using the same method that the community got the Nova Launcher working (combination of adb and tasker) -
Nova Launcher lock rotation brave toggle desktop-mode (Using Tasker)
Using Tasker to change the default launcher for OPPO FIND N, by canceling Oppo's method to enforce their launcher. -- Requirements 1- Tasker (paid ~3$). --- Autoinput (2$), for Brave desktop/phone mode auto switiching. 2- Launcher of your...

Many thanks for the feedback. I would totally be at peace with the Oppo messages app if could only receive group MMS texts. Are you successful there as well?

Again, sorry I haven't tried that, as I don't use group SMS/MMS messaging; I use Whatsapp/Wechat/Telegram for that type of group messaging. In the UK MMS messages are usually an additional (sometimes expensive) cost, and so it has never really taken off here as far as I'm aware; and everyone I know uses Whatsapp, etc. for that kind of thing.
I ended up disable-user the following apks :
package:com.coloros.karaoke
package:com.heytap.music
package:com.iflytek.speechsuite
package:com.coloros.weather.service
package:com.oplus.apprecover
package:com.oplus.pay
package:com.oplus.vip
package:com.heytap.reader
package:com.coloros.oshare
package:com.oplus.wifisecuredetect
package:com.oplus.appdetail
package:com.oppo.community
package:com.coloros.securityguard
package:com.heytap.speechassist
package:com.coloros.codebook
package:com.coloros.phonemanager
package:com.coloros.securepay
package:com.coloros.directui
package:com.coloros.video
package:com.coloros.filemanager
package:com.coloros.ocrscanner
package:com.nearme.instant.platform
package:com.coloros.floatassistant
package:com.coloros.childrenspace
package:com.heytap.htms
package:com.coloros.remoteguardservice
and uninstalled following:
com.heytap.cloud
com.finshell.wallet
cn.wps.moffice.lite
com.oppo.store
com.baidu.input_oppo
com.opos.ads
com.coloros.assistantscreen
com.heytap.browser
com.heytap.pictorial
com.heytap.smarthome
com.coloros.favorite
com.oplus.safecenter
The preinstalled music, video, reader, wallet and browser are pretty much just adware, get rid of them as quick as possible
These security apk are forcing you to input oppo account password to install apk, but please keep in mind, disable or uninstall them all-together: com.oplus.vip(yes it's related to apk installation), com.oplus.appdetail, com.coloros.securityguard, com.coloros.phonemanager, they are calling each-other when you install apps, by just removing some of them, you are risking breaking apk installer functionality, but I've tested after get ride of them, all non-sense just disappeared
And I personally will never use it's build-in password manager, voice assistant, float ball navigator, cloud service, file manager and baidu input so I disabled them, keep those you want
One thing, adb can't disable or uninstall built-in app store, and in some situation, I use it to install some Chinese specific apps.

Hi there,
Have you got a link to this app? As the one I have got doesn't seem to give me the option of deleting apps? Just extracting them
Many Thanks!

You don't delete them in the app. You have to delete them using a command prompt on your PC. The app just tells you the package name of each app so you know what to delete.
