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??

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.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
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.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skanskan:
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,

If you see static HTC wallpapers, you should find a kind of black wallpaper with pattern.

If you can get that wallpaper, could you please attach it here? :)

I like that wallpaper and I want to modify it a little bit.

Probably this can be done only by rooted phone (correct me if I am wrong).

Thanks.

is anyone else here from las vegas? I have noticed bad reception in areas where i used to have great service and full bars. Do you think sprint is doing something to their towers? maintenance/upgrades?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Appears so, slow data speeds nation wide and lots of dropped calls.
[EVO 4G General] Goonzy:
b.s

Yep ..im in the Las Vegas area too and get dropped calls and data is slow .. so I use the verizon hack 00001.prl and get up to 1.8mbps up and 900kbs down. ( before I was getting 300kb up and down).
[EVO 4G General] skilledone:
I was just in Vegas for 8 days and Sprint was the only carrier that worked consistently for me.

I'm rocking an iPhone 4, HTC EVO, and a Verizon MiFi.

AT&T = outright SUCKED

Verizon = 1x the whole time

Sprint = 3G 2mbps the entire time and when on 4G always avg of 6d/1up.

But uh, shot in the dark here: Try out the CM 6.1.2 WiMax Alpha2. Supposedly gets wicked good 3G speeds, WiMax too.

[EVO 4G General] Ragster:
I'm getting VERY slow 4G in the SF/Bay Area region, usually doesn't even get to 800 kbps with full bars.. Dropped calls too
[EVO 4G General] B3RL1N:
Vegas local here. I haven't had any dropped calls, but I had the HTC Touch Pro 2 from September 2009 to June 2010 and I noticed a significant drop in data speeds at around the time that the EVO was released. The only explanation that I have is that a lot of people saw a 4.3" 1GHz Android phone with a forward facing camera and either upgraded from dumbphones to the EVO or switched carriers.

On the other hand, I attended CES this year and so many people didn't have data services on the show room floor. The shocker? I did. I had a friend with an iPhone 4 and she couldn't connect to 2G or 3G. On top of that, she was visiting the city and was at the Excaliber; she had no 3G data on the strip, at all.

The population of Vegas jumped 136,000 people last weekend with some of the most tech savvy people on the planet.

So Sprint kind of stood the test of time. Just throwing that out there. Perhaps this is also the reason for some of the slow data and dropped calls the you've recently experienced. Although it doesn't explain if you're still having such problems.

One more thing, we suffer from the same "Death Grip" as the iPhone 4. Want proof? Set up a WiFi connection and grip your phone like you normally would, for right handed people, thumb on volume buttons, palm over the HTC logo and fingers down the left side of the phone. You'll notice that the WiFi notification icon will drop a bar. Then, if you grasp the phone by not covering up the back and just pinch your EVO in your fingers it will regain a bar. I'm unsure if this is a graphical error in the software or a true Death Grip. Just an observation though. This may effect dropped calls for all we know.
[EVO 4G General] abanh:
I was in Vegas for CES and constantly turned on wireless tethering so my buddies with iPhone 4 could latch onto my phone to get on the internet.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] alabak2002:
First of all; I've used search and found nothing that fitted my problem. I hope I didn't repeat a existing question.

My problem is this:

I have an european Galaxy S running on Darky's rom. Since a couple of days, I've been unable to charge the Galaxy through the USB port, a problem I never had in the past.

If plugged through the USB to a computer, the phone is properly detectd, and I can copy files into it without any problem. If I leave the cable plugged either there, a car adapter on my car, or a wall charger, the charging animation is on, but the battery drains slowly instead of charging.

What I've tried:

*tried different batteries

*updated to last Darky's rom (Slim no wipe)

*read about battery drain, recalibered battery; installing a fresh battery charged on an oem dock), wiping battery stats from CWM, leaving the phone on until battery slowly died

*full wipe, factory reset

*disable voodoo from cwm

*updated to last Darky's rom (full with wipe)

Nothing worked so far.

I have no clue of what is going on. I did nothing strange or new before this issue showed, at least as far as I remember. I'm running now swapping the depleted batteries out of the phone.

I hope somebody could help me.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] JJEgan:
If Darky broke it he should have the solution .

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] alabak2002:
I have flashed an older rom, I9000XXJP1, just for testing, and the problem is still there.

Could it be a hardware issue?.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] filou75:
Yeah we got one like this @ work, brand new and faulty.

The symptoms on the first day :

- Doesn't charge via PC or external power source

- USB mass storage is fine

- Still warm after at least one hour on idle (wifi, gps and bt OFF)

=> warranty.

I suggest that you put back the original ROM before it dies by lack of power and use your warranty ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] alabak2002:
I think that's what I will have to do. I'll flash some old stock rom and send it to service. Pity I didn't keep the original one from Movistar network.

I'll look for it somewhere.

Thank you.

[Captivate General] disellusional:
i was charging with my phone off from 0 (battery calibration) but then I turned it on to check something.

Prior to turning on the phone, the battery charging icon showed 30-40%. After i turned it on it jumped to 67% and when i turned the phone off again, the green filling was around the 70% mark.

Why is there such a big jump? Does this mean i lost 30% charge?

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugluv67:
Hello I recenlty got my Dell Streak from Best Buy. I have since used QDL and upgraded to the latest 2.2 sofware and rooted the phone. I really like and love this phone. The new software has corrected almost all of my concerns with the phone.

But.... LOL, Theres always a but.

Iphone 3gs was my first AT&T phone. It came preloaded with visual voicemail. A feature i soon came to love and adore. Before that I had a very long history with the Palm Treo on sprint which only had a voicemail indicator. BUT the streak has abosolutley no voicemail features whatsoever. No icon to tell you that you have pending voicemails. No visual voicemail. Nothing. I searched the app market and didnot find any solution at all. Also call me stupid but im not even sure how to check my voicemail on AT&T. I'm sure i can probably just call my number and put in a pin or something. But screw that.

This is a basic cell phone function. How could this be left out!

I guess im asking if there is a solution out there that i am not aware of, or if any developers can make a fix for this. Heck i would even pay for such an application. I know I can't be the the only person who has noticed this feature missing on the Streak.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrightc88:
Visual voicemail isn't supported by all devices. When I went from my blackberry to the streak the visual voicemail was gone from the services on at&t account online.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spope78:
Have a look at Hullamail. It works great for me on O2 in the UK. From the app it notifies you if you receive new voicemail or missed calls and you can then view and listen from the app or set it to email you which you can then pickup and listen to the mp3 either on your phone or from your PC etc.

HTH

As far as accessing your voice mail on AT&T just open the dialer and long press on 1 (one). If your VM isn't set up follow the prompts.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazman325:
PhoneFusion+ is a free service to ATT customers. ATT reps will tell you but BB reps don't have any idea (at least not the ones who sold me my Streak). It gives you visual notification of calls missed/voicemails. Also lists your voicemails visually with contact info and time of call. It actually call forwards the call to its server and plays the outgoing message stored on your card. Voicemails are then sent back to your card so you can view/listen w/o having to dial into att to retrieve.

If you want the entire text of the voicemail, they will do that for a monthly fee. You can try that part free for 30 days. I found it to be very inaccurate so cancelled text VM, but kept and use the rest of the app.

PhoneFusion+ is in the Market.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
Install the Google voice app from the market, run it and follow the prompts. If you get a message that the forwarding change has failed go to your google voice page on your computer and click on settings, then voice settings. Click on the voice settings link and when that page loads click on activate voicemail and follow the prompts there. Make sure your carrier is listed properly.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerodean:
I've had my Nexus 1 for almost a year now, but it was only after about 6 months I noticed my phone was rapidly heating up after using the 3G signal. It will raise about 5-10 degrees within minutes and you can really feel it getting warm. As soon as I stop using 3G the temperature dissipates rapidly. It never gets hot on wifi though.

So I ask, is this normal for smart phones these days? Or is something wrong?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Yeah smart phones get warm/hot when getting used. They're mini-computers now.

My N95 used to do it as well.

The best thing for temperature rises is using navigation; you have 3G, GPS, screen, sound constantly in use, and often plugged in.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
I don't think the OP was talking about smartphone use in general. From what i can gather he's noticing a temperature rise from 3G use alone and that doesn't sound right.

Running a resource intensive app will of course heat the phone up through the cpu/soc usage, but from 3G itself...?

Perhaps a Task Manager app might give you a clue as to what's going on. Maybe switching to 3G is ramping up your cpu or perhaps some app is doing the same in the background.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
i notice my phone gets very hot anytime i have a phone call on 3g, or a long data session on 3g. but yes its pretty normal to get warm.

but it is not normal if your phone is sitting idle on 3g and it gets hot. that's not normal.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerodean:
I have checked recent apps, no apps are taking up much battery at all. Do you think its damaging? It does make me feel uneasy, but if it won't damage anything or do any harm I guess I can tolerate it until I decide to upgrade 12 months later maybe.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fafler:
The other day, i was sitting with my trusty Thinkpad T60p and my Galaxy S and suddenly i got this idea... i want to build a Android phone into the palmrest! So now i'm just throwing thoughts out the get myself started.

It would be great to have everything Conky provides now, calendar, email and other stuff, placed on a small LCD on the laptop.

So i need to get a spare palmrest for the laptop of eBay, in case the idea doesn't really work out, and a Android phone i can play around with. It seems as Windows Mobile phones are cheaper 2nd. hand, and as i don't really need the phone part of the phone to work, it might be the way to go. So what WinMo phones are good enough to run Android to get: booting into Android without user interaction, touchscreen and hardware buttons, maybe wifi and 3G, but only it it's good enough to provide a access point, USB net and Android 2.x?

What native Android phones should i look for? I think i'll need the hardware buttons to be on a separate PCB, a small (2,8" to 3.2") screen. CPU and memory isn't really that important. Also the LCD and main PCB needs to be quite flat. If i had brought a screwdriver to school, i could have measured just how flat.

Is there a launcher that can do everything in landscape mode?

Have anyone done something similar to this? Build a Android phone into anything else?

I need to modify the battery circuit to make to phone run of the laptop battery, as i don't think i can find internal room for it and connect the USB port in the phone to the internal USB header where my fingerprint reader isn't going to be anymore.

Unfortunately, the Optimus One/T is a great value but not nearly as exciting as the LG 2X. The specs for the LG 2X are fantastic. I think buying the Optimus T for $100 was a fantastic buy. However, if I had a choice of which phone to use, I would definitely choose the LG 2X.

Despite what I have said above, if LG continues to sell the Optimus One, I think they will support it. I just wish it was sooner rather than later.
