okay i dont even know if this is possible , or it may just sound like a dumb question to ask
but since we have rooted phones and such
when you get a phone call from someone trying to hide there number
is it possible to see it in like that telnet app?
i mean everything runs in the background on this phone
and a number has to be attached to a call obviously
so can we see them on a rooted phone ?

I was thinking today what if someone stole my phone and like thought of a really good way of catching the culpret - i thought of something like every time you unlock your phone or dont unlock your phone correctly the phone automatically takes a photo with the front camera and sends it to your own email address!
just a thought though
maybe it exists?
i dont know
would be good at catching criminals maybe too?

Hi,
I was wondering, can I put a code on my contacts and my messages?
I just dont like it when people are playing with my phone, how easy it is for them through my contacts and messages.
Never had this problem with previous phones (well it isn't a REAL problem, just a hindrance), cause there you had to go through at least 2 or 3 clicks to see them.
Anyone know any software I can install for this? Or how I can enable it?
Im running the stock rom btw, should it matter...
Put the main pin code in Settings & Lock or...
...don't give other people your phone!
I've never heard of something which locks just the items you mention, sort of goes against the point of an easy to use, easy to access phone UI.
I think I saw a Samsung phone which had it, everything was open on the phone, just the text messages required a pin. I saw it and loved it.
And its mainly now that I have a new phone that everyone wants to see it and use it, and I don't want to be prick and say no =)
As for a main PIN, I do have that.
what you got to hide!?
yes samsungs (well at least use to) enable you to set codes for individual programs. eg texts, pictures, videos etc etc. not seen another phone that does that though. tbh its good with have a lock code at all as alot of phones dont even have that!
best thing to do is turn touch flow off so its just the windows today screen, then they have to scroll trough your programs etc to get to contacts/msgs
I've recently got my g1 replaced with a htc hero and i love it in almost every way except for the dialer which i HATE!
Now maybe i'm being an idiot but i can't seem to stop my call button bringing up the dialer, I'd like to see my contacts, or groups or generally anything but that hideous dialer. I almost never call numbers not in my contacts. Can this be changed, or can i use something like acontacts - i don't really like it but it's a step in the right direction however installing it previously call asked me what i wanted to use and i can't work out what settings need cleared to let me change this. Many thanks
That pad is not only for dialing numbers, it works as a T9 contacts search by any part of name, surname, company, inicial, etc. - try it. I think that this very dialer is the best thing of the HTC Sense and the best thing that could have happened to Android.
Also try selecting a result with the trackball and then scrolling sideways, notice the numbers changing (if a contact has more than one).
If you are aware of this functionality and still want to change it, maybe somebody else will help.
I was not aware, but really i think it looks hideous. I'd rather not have it personally. It may look ok themed but... can you recommend a decent theme i can steal one from?
If you don't like the dialer just go into contacts instead and choose who you want to phone from there
peterc no offence intended but why would you even bother replying if you have nothing useful to say? I'm perfectly capable of using other applications or opening contacts directly my question related directly to the 'call' button.
I suggest you read your OP again. You asked (and I quote) "I'd like to see my contacts, or groups or generally anything but that hideous dialer. I almost never call numbers not in my contacts. Can this be changed"
And my answer is yes it can - don't use the dialer, access your contacts directly, and you can then call them directly from that app. I did not know from your question whether you were an experienced user or a first timer that had just got the phone did I? Many new users do not know many of the basic features of the phone, such as using the contacts app, and are looking for help.
But hey don't worry .... now I know that you are so knowledgable that you obviously don't need my help, I will not bother trying to help you in the future

Have you seen this part though?

Yes I did see that. And, referring specifically to the last part, if he (or she) goes into "People", he will see his contacts, and he can then list them in Groups, and he can phone any of those people without going into the "hideous" dialer. So I reckon my suggestion was valid for that bit too.
But at the end of the day if somebody has any better suggestions, which at the moment nobody appears to have, then I am happy for the OP to try those instead of my useless one.
peter i'm really not trying to pick a fight but what are you arguing about. My question was, as pauliusba understood related to having my 'call' button launch another application. Your suggestion was entirely unrelated to the call button.

I need a little help, I need a program that could block the number that called me. LG E900 Optimus 7
If you want a call blocker, your only choice is to switch OS. Due to current restrictions/limitations in WP7 it is not possible to block a call or number neither manually nor automatically.. :/
"Microsoft's world" is full of friends and you prompted to share everything with them...Why would you want to block someone? (sarcasm about Microsoft's narrow view of the future...they only see internet and friends. Everything must be done on the "cloud" and share it with someone...)
Samsung got program for blocking phone numbers.
Just hope someone will find way to install it on LG phones.
What is this program and where to be found
Well, I don't know much about blocking, but you could just assign is an empty ring tone.... I will still pop up, but at least it won't ring anymore.

It possible only works for samsung, but it means that call blocking IS possible on this platform, doesn't it? If yes, perhaps apps will be out sometime.
Gday all . I have noticed strange activity with my phone for the past 3 months . Passwords getting changed , weird apps getting loaded , calls to numbers i dont know etc etc. I downloaded catlog to find even stranger activity with audio commands , as i dont know much about linex or android as im new to this scene. I thought id post on here for some needed advise. Hope you members can help me out a little. When i look at this in text form it says that there was calls made am i being paranoid or is there something im actually reading right..
You didn't give many details, only a summary of ostensibly erratic application behaviour. It's nigh impossible to reach any conclusion in the absence of abundant details. So for peace of mind, I'd suggest resetting everything and start over.
So back up any files, photos, etc that you wish to keep. Then use the Odin program to write a 100% stock firmware to your phone. Followed by a factory data reset. That should remove any spyware, malware, malicious apps or anything else short of physical modifications to your phone - which is an unlikely scenario.
As to a cloned number.. that seems unlikely. But if you believe so, then have your provider change your number, get a new SIM card, etc. Or better yet, simply change providers.
Then you will have a stable base to proceed from.

Have you downloaded black (not from Play or official) apps or cracked games from websites? They often are used to mess with your phone and can even cost you a lot of money. I recommend to flash a stock rom and data factory reset afterwards to rule out that option.
