Hello,
I believe Android removed the feature for most apps to auto reply a Text Message for a Missed Call recently. For example you can download an App that will Auto Reply to a Text Message but not a Missed Call.
Anyone know of an App that is working for both today? Text Message and Missed Calls? Set for example a Vacation Time and it works for that period of time?
My phone is not rooted; nor do I really want to root it. However, I guess I could if I really had too; but I prefer not too.
Thanks!

There is an app on google play that works today with Pie that auto responds to text messages.
If you contact the developer they can send you an app that will work with Text Messages and Missed Phone Calls.
an App that is working for both Text Message and Missed Calls is finally here (outside of Google Play)

Every time a text message is sent to my Google Voice number, I get 2 identical messages simultaneously: one in my google voice app, and one in my phone's "Messaging" app - and I get charged by T-mobile for the text message, even though it was sent to my Google Voice number??? Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Disable the "Receive text messages on this phone" option in GV.
But I'd like to receive text messages on this phone via GV.. why would I want to disable that?
because it will still go to the google voice app, just not directly to the phone's text messaging program.

That makes no sense, but I did it anyway and it didn't work. I disabled text messaging option and sent a text message to my GV number - my phone didn't get anything. Sorry, but I don't understand how you expected that to work. Thanks anyway...
If you turn off the "receive text messages on this phone" the sms will still go to the google voice app inbox but not be forwarded to the "real" phone number as well. You check the texts and respond to them there, not through the default texting app. You disable this property by going to google voice (the website) going to the phone tab, finding your phone under "forwards to:", and clicking edit.
Oh, I'm sorry... I misread. However, after I disabled "receiving text messages on this phone", my GV app on the phone stopped notifying me of new text messages in my GV inbox, which is why I didn't think it would work. So now I need to figure out why it's not notifying me of new texts at all.
Nevermind - it arrived, but delayed.
Thanks for taking the time to explain. I appreciate your help.
No problem. If you setup the texts to forward to your email address or setup a separate one simply for the texting, you can receive notifications that way as well.
As long as the phone app notifies relatively promptly, that'll work. I was just worried because I never changed any settings in my GV account, and on my previous phone (Motorola Cliq), all texts only came to the GV app and never to the main messaging program.
I have a black list of contacts. I want block incoming and outgoing sms for this contacts. How block incoming sms I know, but how about outgoing sms?
Please, help me with this task.
Thanks a lot!
I don't see the problem with outgoing sms ??? Just don't text these people.
As for incoming sms have you tried applications like Call & SMS Filter or Call Blocker X?

It's not so easy
I want to block some contacts, so that my children never have written to them
I can think of 2 options quickly:
1. Don't let the kids use the phone
2. Buy them their own phone
I suppose an application could be created to do what you want. Or maybe something like adding a password to certain entires in you Contacts.
I'm actually finishing-up an app that functions as a SMS spam blocker; maybe my next app will be adding a password function to Contacts.
Just checked android default sms app and sms content provider source code, it looks like it's not possible to intercept and cancel outgoing message. It's a pity that we're not able to add this functionality to our future parental control app.
I'm not overly impressed with whomever coded the SMS and Contacts databases and have given considerable thought to writing my own. I found this out when writing my SpamText blocker which I kind of put on the back-burner due to fear of deleting ALL text messages from someone's phone. That whole "thread_id" is scary, at least to me.
I like the "conversations" feature of SMS, but it really should be broken-down by day or make any text in the conversation deleteable. I might get 10 texts from one person in a day, but just might want to save 4 of them because they have some valuable information.
Then there is a security issue with coding this type of application; Android gives the developer a lot of rope regarding messaging.
If your children are the one whos playing with your phone, why don't you use one of those pw locking apps? You can choose to lock whichever app you want with it.

I think the use case is just to allow children to sms and call to fixed numbers only.

You can't delete individual texts? What?
Nope, at least on my Droid X default SMS client. All distinct phone numbers and SMS messages are grouped together in a "conversation" no matter if that person texts 10 times in one day or 100 times over 6 months.
I know you can set a message limit, but I'm not sure what it does if you set it to 5 and get the 6th message from the same #; maybe someone else knows...
I have been searching for blocking outgoing test messages also but for a different reason.
I live near the border and allthough my phone is set to only my home network every now and than it switches to roaming and pretty often I send text messages by accident while roaming. Sometimes it switches networks while I am typing the message or it looses connection and I am at the mercy of which network it will connect and send the text message.
So an app that would block outgoing text messages while roaming (or maybe even only sending on home network) would come in very handy.
Why don't you just delete the contacts? Easiest solution

You should read my post! Obviously I need all my contacts to call/text whenever I am not roaming!
I m also interested in blocking outgoing msg to specific number, my wife is Canada so she send me msgs from her canadian phone no. and I reply to serbian one, which is free - included in my monthly fee, but every now and than i reply to her canadian which costs me, and it wouldnt be big of a deal, but my courier dont have contract with hers so they charge for the sms, which she doesnt receive, so was trying to find a way to block outgoing msg to her canadian no. but need to be able to receive from it

As far as I know there is no way of intercepting outgoing messages. very strange that we can do almost anything on a smartphone but have very limited control over basic operations like sending text message options.
Same goes for LED notification, should be standard on all phones. (2 of my biggest annoyances espcially as it concerns very basic phone operations)
Android system does not provide a way to block outgoing SMS.
The similar question was discussed on Android Developers hung out on
26-Apr-2012, and Android Developers stated clearly that it is not
possible.
One suggestion was to put the phone into Airplane mode at the time of
sent SMS intent, but again its unlikely to put the phone into
airplane mode pro-grammatically.
The similar issue has been already discussed on android-platform Group
as well.

want to block foreign sms's
I also have the above problem of my wife sending texts to foreign countries and getting charged. Usually she sends via fishtext which is affordable but every now and then if she is in a hurry or forgets to use the fishtext widget she sends via normal sms mode which costs a ton.
I cant believe there is no simple app to stop the user sending sms's.
Everyone has a 'cute' solution (like delete the contacts lol!) but they don't realise the difficulty of trying to manage another persons phone but one that you still have to pay the bills for e.g. kids or spouse.
Surely there must be an app out there that does this although I can currently find it!!!
Anyone??
There some app in android send sms without permission
It is always not easy when children are involved in any process They are so quick that sometimes it is difficult to notice that they have taken your phone and started pressing buttons. When you realize it, it is already late and the messages have been sent.
Why not get an app locker and lock the messaging app.
On a per contact basis, many apps have block features built in but not to block sms completely.

Some apps send messages without your consent.
And even some ROMs.
For example son phones (Xiaomi) with MIUI try to send an SMS to China to activate your SIM but they don't do it well, it doesn't work you spend money every time you reboot your phone.
Hi Folks. First of all, I'm new here. I just created a profile to suggest you the following:
Pushbullet; it's an app that allows you to send and receive notifications, links, files, etc, between devices.
So, I was thinking if maybe somebody knows a way around to use this app as a substitute for the Osmart Companion, that doesn't work so well and also depends completely on bluetooth. I'm using it right now to manually send stuff from my smartphone to the TrueSmart, but I just found out that Pushbullet now supports Tasker integration, what makes me think that, if you know how, it is possible to create a profile on Tasker that allows you to automatically send a notification to your TrueSmart whenever you receive a SMS, for example.
However, despite being a huge fan of android and apps in general, my programming skills sucks really bad, even at Tasker, which I guess must be programming for beginners.
Has anyone already tried to do something related? Please let me know.
Thanks!
I haven´t try that app, but I´m using 'Notisync' and, at least for me and until now, it´s working. The only one thing I don´t have got: automatically unlock the screen (I´m using Oclock) and show a window with the notification content in. For this, I´m using 'Notify me!' app. It turns on the screen, but not unlock it (it only shows the notification content if the screen is already on). I continue investigating .
I hope this helps someone.

I have tried many apps and so far at least this one tells me when someone is calling, i cant get it to alert me of texts though, i use hangouts as my text service default app but i even tried the standard messages app and it still doesnt allow the texts to go through, did you have to do anything special for the texts?
as for pushbullet i started messing with it the other day but all it does it notify my watch that theres a message waiting on my phone i still need to look at the phone to see/reply to the message.
figured out a way with pushbullet and tasker to show who the text is from and what the message said, now if only there was a way to reply

I don´t use SMS and never try that. But I tried an app called 'Tablet talk' that can syncronize SMS and phone calls (even when you receive phone call, it shows a window showing the contact photo and bottons to interact with that call). I configured the phone as 'phone' and the watch as 'tablet'. The problema I had was the same: it doesn´t unlock the Oclock screen.

Yeah i've been a user of tablet talk for a while and it is a good app just looking for others since i dont like always having to reconnect them together.
Hey everyone,
I contacted the developers of Push Bullet a few weeks ago when I got my TS. He indicated that it was a space they wanted to occupy for wearables and tablets. They have a number of things they're rolling out for their primary app first, but it's on the slate for the future.

how did you guys get it to install? Side load? It wont let me install from the play store since it says it is incompatible with device. I love pushbullet, and would love to use it with the TS
Yeah side loaded from dropbox.
sent from my note 3 running beans.
For sms I have been using google voice, hangouts and the XVoice+ Xposed plugin. here's how it works:
1) I have moved most people to use mt GV number to reach me as I have several PH numbers so step one is socialize the GV ph number.
2) XVoice+ forces all sms through the google voice app
3) in the google voice app > Settings > Sync and Notifications set recieve text messages to "via the messaging app.
4) if you want to use hangouts go through the steps to make it the default SMS/MMS client otherwise you can use what ever SMS app you want.
default result is I get the same conversation on my phone as on my PC as on my watch. For me this works out well.. the only issues i have are broadcast messages that are short message based like twitter to sms. Google Voice will not support these messages.

Hi
I have noticed that with Greenify hibernating WhatsApp, contacts calling my phone via the new WhatsApp call service never rings. On their side, it just rings and rings and I never answer. On my side though, nothing happens which is why I never answer the call. If I open WhatsApp, then the missed calls notifications from WhatsApp.
It would seem that Greenify can't intercept the incoming WhatsApp calls and wake-up the hibernated WhatsApp to accept the calls.
Can anybody confirm this?
Thanks
Whatsapp, Facebook etc use all kinds of circumventions to go around standard android behaviour. Greenify expects standard android behaviour and is made keeping that in mind.
In addition, for every update to these apps, there are some new issues. No Dev can keep abreast of such issues.
So if you experience problems, ungreenify Whatsapp.
Yes, I have determined that I must un-greenify WhatsApp to receive WhatsApp calls.
Hopefully the developer can have a look into it
Have exactly same problem here.
I hope there will be a quick fix

Dear mate,
For explanation about problem, if its helps;
Using Greenify donation with xposed, rooted and all experimental page is checked.
Never had issue with whatsapp messages, everything was fine and still fine.
Only problem is whatsapp call feature like mentioned here, it dosent wake up phone and you get missed call only when you manually open whatsapp.
For try, i degreenified whatsapp (removed from list inside greenify) and send a message from it for be sure its started manually.
Still when screen off problem continues...
Thanks for your support in advance.
Have you tried changing the notification settings in Whatsapp?

so it's great that with Gear Notification Extender that I can receive and reply to Hangouts messages. Is there a way however to initiate a message to a hangout subscriber?
What I've been doing thus far is keeping a notification for them on my watch and simply replying to that same notification. However, is there a way to simply initiate a conversation that will hit their hangouts app. another more clean and simple way using just my Gear S ?

I just bought one and would love this feature. Handouts handles all my texts and my Google voice number is my primary number.
No Hangout app for Gear, so.....
You will need Hangout app on the watch. Since Hangout is from Google and Tizen is a competitor to Android OS, there is no way in hell that Google will produce anything for this OS.
