Hi. I've had my aria for a couple of weeks and I downloaded a task manager. But I soon realized that AT&T Navigator opens up every time I receive a SMS. Is there a way to stop it from opening? Thanks in advance.
That's weird. Root it and get rid of that crap. In all seriousness someone smarter than I can probably help you.

Root,flash a new rom, and don't ever use a task manager again.

The best thing I found for this is a program called Autostarts (in the market for a few cents). You have to be rooted, but even on the stock ROM (if you don't want to switch) you can go in and stop programs from running at certain instances. I could never figure it out either, but AT&T Navigator is set to open every time you send or receive a text. Be careful if you do use Autostarts though, you can do some damage if you don't watch what you're doing.
Just in case you decide to jump ship and flash a different ROM, here's the APK for Navigator. Sometimes I prefer it over Google.

I know there are threads on tasker, but i have to say, this is one sick app.
all you have to do is send sms with secret word from any phone and Tasker will enable wifi, gps, and send back a link to google maps with phone location.
That is amazing, but...
Pity the GPS, Compass and Google Maps implementation is completely ****ing broken!
I would definitely love to use this when (or if) the locational services ever do function. Thanks for the heads up -- I had no idea this existed.
There are multiple apps like "Where's my droid" that do this as well.

Maybe, but tasker does thousand other things. For me gps works fine, but there is a problem with compass

And doesn't 'where is my droid' only rings the phone if u send sms ?
If its not too long, would you mind posting your contexts and tasks to achieve just that exact same you just described? I'm trying to get better with the program although at a very slow pace
Thanks a lot mate!

Yeah i was interested in how you did it as well. I am just learning this tasker app and it doesnt seem that you can import and export tasks easily.

you can find it here: http://tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index
the guy is using GPS only, but its pretty straight forward to include WIFI in this as well (WIFI is for better location without GPS). The time to wait for GPS to get a lock is up to you, I have 1 min.
and as you can see there is a profile there if you wish to lock you phone with SMS and/or play sound. (havent tried that)
For now I have these tasks: 1. If power ON, screen timeout is set to 45 sec (from 15), and lockguard is disabled 2. from 7:30pm to 8am screen brightness set to min and to AUTO other times. 3 Created a widget for "Vibrate" and "Bluetooth" since Vibrant is missing easy access to those functions (in a nice menu widget to save space). 4. I have several tasks killed at boot since they are useless anyway. (for this need to insert WAIT command with whatever time needed since some tasks start after the phone boots)
Thanks a lot for that link! Was able to create my own widget too now!

Read that Lookout drains battery, one of the features of Tasker is to actually save battery.
you already have a good standard version on the sgs

Any idea how to get this installed? I don't have it showing on my phone. Also, it shows it is only available in Germany and the UK. Do you have a work around to allow it to work anywhere?

Actually, since the latest update, you can hide the SMS.
if i were to say remove the HTC lockscreen, or the HTC dialer on mt4g, would i have no lockscreen or dialer at all, or would it default to stock froyo?
not sure about the dialer... however I know if you remove the HTC Lockscreen.apk and HTC Lockscreen.odex (odex if you are running rooted but stock, just .apk if you are running Iced-Glacier) you will revert to stock vanilla lockscreen
im rooted. so if i go in and remove HTC Lockscreen.apk and HTC Lockscreen.odex ill be ok? i have not installed any roms yet.
yeah easiest way is either Titanium Backup (free) or Root Explorer (paid) but worth the cost if your gonna be messing around in system files.
see HERE for the how to... even though it's pretty easy

already got all that SW on the phone.
i uninstalled the lock screen and it worked after reboot. i am so happy to have the android slider back, with the silence slider...yayyy!
anyone else confirm? i installed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832374
so if i removed HTC sense now i should be ok?
can anyone confirm if removal of the dialer would be safe? i do notice this...
i have GV set to ask me every call. after i pick call without google voice on the popup, i see the non htc dialer screen, then it goes to the htc dialer.
Removing will do just that. Remove the dailer! I tried that before and had to backup the dailer.apk so I could key in numbers. No virgin dailer here. Guess we're just stuck with it I suppose.

I used Root Explorer to move both the HTC Lock apk and odex to the SD card. Rebooted the phone and had the froyo lock screen. Then learned about the alarm issue. I moved the HTC Lock apk and odex back to the orginial location, rebooted, but still have the froyo lock screen and not the original stock sense lock. Anyone have a clue?
I also tried to click on the .apk to install it in case that was it and it errored.
Please post questions in Q&A section.

yea i learned that the hard way! no dialer at all, and if you remove the htc contacts as well you are really screwed, as it messes with gtalk, gmail and sometimes market installations. i put the contacts apk back in and i have not had any FC issues since. the dialer for some reason is not installing but im thinking that could be because of the 3rd party dialer i have installed.
I use GoSMS Pro as my default SMS app. Works great, looks great, is great.
Except for one issue:
People are receiving my messages twice.
I use the Quick Reply function very, very often (and I know that most people have this issue solely while using this feature.)
Does anyone have a fix? I'd like to continue using the app and the Quick Reply feature, but it's a little embarrassing to have people receive my messages twice.
Thank you.
You need to uninstall the stock messaging app using titanium backup text messaging is the name of the apk. Then uninstall Go SMS Pro, and reinstall it. Done
Won't that get in the way of future updates?
Can I freeze the stock messaging app instead?
Sorry, new to android here lol.
try it and see what happens (freezing) worst case you defrost it.

Don't uninstall the stock app as it may prevent you updating in future. Freeze instead so you can thaw when a new update comes out.
I think the latest update said they fixed that issue. Are you running the latest one?
mine works fine
Mine works fine I'm using it on top of ginger blur 3.1

I had the same issue (GingerBlur 3.1) got to the point where I had to just go back to stock. Though handcent worked quite well.

I can't say I'm a big fan of handcent, and I am running the newest version.
The people who complain about this problem are saying that it's a hit or miss. Sometimes they come in twice (but often, multiple times a day), and sometimes they don't.
It's gotta be a problem with the popup window.
Meh
Im the developer of Root Call Blocker, an advanced call and SMS blocking app for rooted phones.
The app is currently in open beta here at XDA:

I dont have a Droid and need testers! Please let me know if you are interested in some hard-core testing and logging...
I'm kind of new to all of this android stuff but i have a rooted Droid 1 running Ultimate Droid 3.3.. I down to help you test..
Please, download the app and start testing - then let me know of any issues and we will go from there!
Test on my rooted Milestone running MIUI 2.3.4. It worked properly but not like my expect. Caller heard a short ring in both "reject" and "alternative reject" action. In hidden mode, when I dialed secret code, it didn't show apparently ui. Hope u improve in next release. Thanks.

I had a special issue: My phone is rooted, but sometimes when the program was on idle, my phone connection went off and on, regurlarly.
This is not the app - it will only drop network once on first run, or once on boot. This is well tested, but please send a log anyway, with a description of the error at the top.
Use the "send debug data" menu item.
Works fine for me! The latest update is excellent!

Has your issue been fixed?
Hi guys, any feedback on the latest version of the app? We are just about to release an update...
Just got my Milestone last night. Root blkr working just fine on it. Last version too.
Good to know...
Has voicemail and google voice been fixed?
What problems with google voice? I not having any issues with it.
Since when have you been using the app? At one point people had trouble routing things...
OK I have a A854 milestone with root but now the app will only let me block ONE person and that is a bunch of shiz! I'd love to help ya but can't buy the better app so sorry!

Ive been using it since day 1 its the best on android.
Mostly now this thread is for reporting errors...
I'll give it some testing on my Optimus 3D - just rooted.
Remember - you are allowed 1 ITEM per profile in the light version, which actually gives you a lot of blocking if you apply your brain properly.

First I hope Im posting this in the right place, second Im not a regular in this forum as I have another device, however I need some assistance. My girlfirend has the Droid 2 and yesterday stated experiencing an issue with the default messaging app. It will only allow her to type in 1 word and then stops functioning. I thought maybe pull the battery and it goes away. But shes done that and the issue is still there, so then Im thinking that maybe she somehow got a virus? I ran a virus scan with Lookout (it was already installed) and it didnt come up with anything. I cant seem to convince her to use another SMS app just to try because she refuses to download anything else, she's stubborn and just wants the default app to work. Do any of you have any ideas? Shes talking about doing a factory reset which Im not sure it will help and she isnt rooted (Yet) and does not have Titanium Backup on the device. Im open to some ideas before she does that reset and loses her apps and what not...Thanks in advance!!
