Coming from Samsung, I'm wondering if Mate Pro 20 can do the same as I cant find anything in settings ....... basically as a call comes through from an unsaved number, my old Samsung would ID it "Suspected Spam " "Known Telemarketer" "Uber driver" etc etc
Is there a way of enabling this?

Yeh i had that on my Samsung phones, was really useful. Not available on this phone unless you download a third party app like truecaller etc.

all the recent reviews for Truecaller are terrible - Sounds like they are trying to take over messaging apps

I receive the following popup: "Register your phone by sending a text message? Normal rates apply."
I'm not really sure what it does though. I've only come across like two sites talking about that popup by searching on Google ["normal rates apply" android Xperia].
Now, from what I gather, it seems to be some default SE update thing, as I doubt a virus would request my permission, but if anyone could confirm this, that'd make me feel a bit more at ease.
EDIT: Also, this popup appeared on my home screen, so I'm not sure which app it even came from, or if it came from the OS. It looks like a simple notification menu with an "Ok" and "Cancel".
Why would you register through text message? Sounds like one of those paid text message subscription services to me..i wouldn't do it if I were you

Yeah, the thing that worries me though is that it just randomly appeared while I was on my home screen. It seems like some app made it pop up, but I'm not sure which one. I did click cancel though.

Hmmm, don't have any yet, other than default ones that come with firmware (if there are any).
I also found a Russian site that has a user with the same problem: http://www.sony-ericsson.ru/forums2/lofiversion/index.php/t58873-2950.html but even after translating using Google, I'm still not sure what it does :/
For now, I've re-flashed and am not installing any additional apps for a while, until I see if something I installed caused the problem.
Good idea...perhaps contact your phone company as well thy could generally give you more info in case it is one of those subscription services I was referring to

I'm hoping it's not that , but good idea. I could probably get them to look at my sent/received texts or maybe any weird charges.
It's not a virus or trojan. It's what it says.
Sony Ericsson wan't you to register your device by sending an SMS.
The SMS will send a registration to Sony Ericsson on this number: 0046737494040
You decline it if you don't want to pay international fees for a text send to a Swedish number.

Ahhh, thanks That explains why I found that message on an SE site too. Very weird though, I can't find a way to do it manually. It also pops up like the auto-update, out of nowhere.
My new phone
I got that too
It wasn't there before but just these fews day it coming by
I ignored it (No to the pop-up)
Since it say rate may charge (SMS Rate) so i ignore it ;p
I used this site for a while now but just realized they have an app which works just as good as the site. Unlimited free calls but the calls only last two minutes without a paid account. Two minutes is more than enough time to disguise your number on a call or to prank someone. It also lets you change your voice just like on the site. It will also record your calls so you can post your pranks to Facebook.
Someone has too much free tiime on their hands. lol
I used this app before its funny.. love to prank my wife at work.. lol
Nice find bro, just in really like this app.
I wish in this section of the forum they will put 50% apps threats and 50% themes. I am aware that xda is 98% for rooted guys, but I love to read threads about apps (non rooted) I assume that there is a bunch of people like me outthere.
Maybe I'm a nombre and there is a forum exclusively for news about apps but I searched in the market and those app reviews apps are ****

I mentioned "Evil Operator" by the PrankDail bunch in the previous thread and it does more than just fake caller id's........
http://www.prankdial.com/android/eviloperator
You set it up to call two phone numbers out of your book and both phones ring with the caller id of your choosing and when they pick up they're talking to one another. It can get really funny if you set up with 2 people who dont like each other to begin with! LOL! Heres the web based version.......

Dear All
I'm sure everybody had this already that he got calls from unwanted numbers, and they don't stop.
I usually use blacklist pro (bought version) with android 4.1.1 it doesn't work currently, probably it has something to do with pdroid, i'm using a cyanogen rom.
Anyway..
So far i'm more intrested in call forwarding instead of blocking.
I am locking for an app which can forward this annoying caller to another number, or all numbers which are not in my contact list.
so far i couldn't find an app doing exactly this what I wanted to.
(It does not matter if the forward counts on my own phone bill, because i've got flat anyway...)
so does someone know an app for this?
would this anyway technicaly be possible?

well all those so called 'Call blocking or forwarding' apps available on stores are not compatible enough to wrk efficiently with JB based roms, due to lack of upgradation of those apps from there developer's
so ICS based roms r better for ur issue, since they can support those apps

I try staying nice and calm but it's hard not getting mad..
So listen, I don't post stupid questions in a form because i'm lazy or i can't use google. In reality i've been searching such an app which exactly supports my needs for few hours, i've also tested few apps, but sadly my search was unsuccessfull.
Considering that the world is full of noobs posting sometimes unhappy,not well explained or just unintelligent posts I can partially understand your replies.. PARTIALLY!
But this is a Question and Answers forum and you do NOT have to write me "use google there are lot of apps and search the one for your needs"
If you CAN'T give a competent answer do not reply!
If you do not understand what exactly has been requested, read the topic until you do and then reply only if your answer is competent!
Now please do no more post reply on this thread you're not hitting the topic anymore and you can't help further!!
If somebody knows an App which exactly fullfills my needs, feel free to post it..

Have you found such an app? I am also in search.

Would really appreciate a response.
The OP's outrage at being told to use Google is just as hilarious as it was almost two years ago.
I just want to be able to forward calls from specific contacts (not send to voicemail). I currently have all undesired callers automatically hung up on.
Hi frnd,
I found out a method which works perfectly for me....Hope this will be useful for u as well.
first add the particular number from which u don't want to receive calls to a call blocking list app.( i used cm security app)
second, go to your call settings, and enable 'call forward when busy' to your any other number or to which number u want the calls to forward
That's It...now if the blocked number called u, it will get hang up and automatically redirected to another number..

Hi guys.
I want to allocate SMS alerts tones (not ringtones) to specific contacts with my Honor 7: can I do this?
Samsung’s TouchWiz, has an option to add a message alert to contacts, i.e. “Add another field >message alert”. However, Emotion has no such option. The facility to add a specific message alert to a contact doesn't exist with EMUI.
If this can't be done via the OS can anyone recommend an app (other than Ringo which doesn't work) which can allow specific alerts/message tones to be allocated to individual contacts?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Sadly could not find such an option in EMUI. you can give RINGO a try. It is available in the play store and the free version will meet your needs.

Thanks, but as I mentioned I tried Ringo and it doesn't work with EMUI. Ringo requires the stock SMS alert to be silenced, so in fact I then get NO alerts at all: it's as if EMUI isn't aware of Ringo. I've used Ringo before with other Android devices and it's great, even the free version, but it doesn't function with EMUI.
I knew I was taking a gamble buying a lesser-known brand (were this an Samsung problem there'd be petabytes of online answers to this issue...). Shame, as I love the phone for many reasons - looks like I'll have to revert to Samsung if no-one can help. :crying:

I apologise for my mistake and someone will be able to help you for sure.
Another idea is to use some other messaging app like go message etc. They might have this option.

Thanks for your reply, however, I've tried Chomp SMS and Textra, with no luck (i.e. no option therein to allocate SMS alerts to individual contacts).
I can't believe I'm the only Honor 7 owner to feel this an an issue that Huawei needs to looks at...
But you mentioned "go message"? What's the formal name of this app please? I can't find it on the Play Store (only "Go SMS", an app that enables SMS's to be sent via PC)

Yeah, it was GO SMS but I checked it out along with other contact apps but it comes down to emui not assigning a custom notification tone for a contact... I am out of ideas, someone else might have a few for you...

I agree, Mike, this is a feature I had taken for granted with having used Samsungs. Very convenient and I wish it were possible with the 7x
Curious,did u ever find a workaround or are u back to using Samsung?
