Have started to uninstall.
There are also advertisements when I open my mobile phone that fills the entire screen and some even with sound on
Having read that Google is testing ads on some mobile phone, about 5000 users, one could be the one i´m sitting on, it´s a Samsung demo mobile.

[APP IDEA] Social Call Blocker. Has it been done?

I have been using Android for a while now, and I have used few call blocker apps to block annoying telemarketing calls.
But in every call blocker app we either need to white or black list of number.
How about an app, where when a user black lists a number, the number gets synced to a cloud storage. The numbers that are stored in the server would then be synced in other users devices (not in their contact list).
The app will block any call that is from within this list. Because a users have marked the number as spam, other users won't have to get annoyed even once.
It seems to me like a good idea, but there could be many problems with this as well. For example, what if a user marks a non telemarketing number as spam.
What I am wondering is whether any such (or even better) app/service is already available for Android phones? and is it worth spending time to develop?

[Q] Android app which queries wordpress database for specific message category

I am writing my first app and want to know if I can have my app check a specific WordPress database and display the latest message from a particular message category. And if so, is there suggestions as to how many times it should query while the app is running?
My reason is to be able to post a very short message with the WordPress admin page that will show up only for users of my android app. I don't want their phone to chime a notification when they aren't using my app (that would be annoying I think)...I want anyone who has my app open to get messages I post via WordPress in a relatively quick timeframe.
Suggestions and guidance greatly appreciated.

Question to all ChatOn app users.

Hello to everyone who is using IM app ChatON, whether on Samsung mobiles or others.
Was anyone able to find a way to clear all the shared pics, animated mssgs, vds etc etc that always stay in trunk and return back even when start a new chat, after deleting the old chat.
To explain in detail, when we chat with someone using ChatON and share some pics, vds or etc etc, which stay in trunk of that chat window do not have the option to delete them like in WatsApp. But when delete the chat, there is a pop up that says "All your messages with trunk will be deleted permanently" looks promising. But when we start a new chat with the same person whom we have recently shared pics, vds etc etc, all the trunk is restored. Does it mean all our shared data is stored in Samsung servers? (It does not sound very good if its true ) Then is there anyway to delete the trunk Permanently without anything being restored when we start a new chat.
I have posted this thread here because this particular app has increased the quality of the way we chat unlike in any other IM apps like watsapp, viber, tango, IMO, etc etc. Its fast and super eye candy. So just wanted to know if we have a solution for the problem I mentioned above. One should use it before commenting negative about this app . Tried to find any stored data of this app using Root Explorer, but could not find any and could not find any solution anywhere. But then, after complaining about this issue (this is a issue to me), and no reply from ChatON or Samsung even after 9 days, I have decided to take help from XDA.
Moderators and Senior members, please excuse me if this thread is irrelevant to XDA, and please delete the thread, if you wish so. I just wanted to know, how the app functions so that we could tweak it, in order to make it more secure.

Group Chat Retrieval

Hi to all of you developers! First let me say that I am not a developer but am a long-time Android user. I was referred to this forum by a tech support professional who was unable solve my problem after many herculean efforts to do so. I'd really appreciate any help here.
I recently changed to from Verizon to AT&T as my carrier. I had an LG6 with Verizon but am now using a Samsung Galaxy S10e. All of my texts, including group chats (in Message+), were able to be transferred over. For this particular chat group I was the administrator. As soon as the transfer was completed, I noticed that this chat did not appear in the new phone. When I looked at the LG6, and opened up the group chat, a message at the bottom says "you are no longer a participant of this conversation". So this group chat not only didn't transfer to the new phone, I can't participate in the group on the old phone..and no longer am the Administrator. I installed the Message+ app on the new phone in the hopes it would reappear. Like it is on the old phone..but it doesn't.
My question is this: is there an app that can allow me to retrieve this group chat and it's history off the old phone and put it on the new phone? It's important because it contains important information on my mother who recently passed away. It was actually the only text I truly cared about. I know I can be re-added to the group but it will only include info from the time I'm added. I'd really like to see text history and current all there together if at all possible.
Can anyone help?

Loading Phone And Messages Apps on a Verizon tab

I've been trying to use official samsung apps to do this but can't find the apk anywhere or find anyone whose done it. Verizon wants me to use their horrible messages+ app.
IIRC Verizon disabled the use of Samsung native messaging/phone apps on the LTE Tab S6 so they could use their own garbage. Hate that Verizon does this.
Possible workaround...use Google Messages app on your phone and the Message from Web feature to open via Chrome on the tab? I haven't tried this as I use Textra for messaging, however I suppose it should work...may need to turn on desktop version for the site to function correctly. Then just create a homescreen shortcut to the Messages site. Bonus: you get RCS support with other Google Messages users (though I'm not sure if/how this works via web...).

This is what I had to do, when you open the messages on the browser, look for an option to install the "browser extension" which is pretty much like an app. It's the way I use and works great, however, it does mirror what's in the phone so your phone must be on and online
Trying to figure this out myself. Can't get Textra or the stock Samsung Messages app onto the Verizon Tab S6.
Verizon has it gimped pretty bad.
I wonder if you pay off the device in full and contact them to unlock, would that possibly work? I know Verizon is notorious for doing stuff like that.
Verizon blocks the feature itself from their devices because they want to push users to use their crap Messages+ app...

You need to use Google's messages or Verizon's message+ for texting... Google's offering is a lot better but Messages+ allows for phone calls on the tab...
If you use Google Messages (it is what I use), you'll need to do mobile web and open the browser on the tablet, there will be a button by the address bar to download the "app" and it will from that point you'll have the messages app installed on your tablet.
Phone calls, you need to install call and text on other devices version 2.1.00.48 (ill check later to make sure thats the version). Download it from APK Mirror

I downloaded this version and not to be daft, but it's unclear to me if this needs to be installed on the phone, the tablet, or both. I am able to open it on the tablet but it fails to install.
Also, I have been messing with Message+ (as a Verizon user) for 3 days now, not liking it one bit. I did as you suggested with Google Messages and the shortcut, but as an FYI, I was using this shortcut/install app on my Windows 10 laptop already, so for myself, I have to confirm each time I try to open it for the first time on the other device. Both are using a web interface so it asks me to confirm that I want to receive messages from here...here being the tablet, or if I move back to the computer, then the computer. I'm not saying this well...basically you can't have Google Messages "open" in multiple locations via this web shortcut.
WHY does Verizon insist on being such jerks about this stuff. They don't even support their windows Message+ app anymore. So it's not even cross platform, yet they are strong arming you into using it as your primary texting app if you want access on a tablet. This is wrong on so many levels. And I haven't had any success with Your Phone, either. I had given up and resorted to using Message+ but I lost my ability to easily copy and paste pictures and bitmojis into my messages.
So long winded...but wanted to provide more information in case it might help someone else, and to inquire a bit on the app that was referenced. I downloaded the version you posted and it will install on the phone but not the tablet.
I got Call and Text on Other Devices installed on my note8 and preinstalled on my SM-P200 sammy tablet, but on my tablet it doesn't have the phone or messages app from samsung. Can anyone help?
