Using the new RCB? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, does anyone know how to use the new Root Call Blocker, since they updated the app with new UI and all? I just want to know how to block a person from calling but still be able to receive a text from them? Old one was so easy, just tick away.. but now, a little confusing for me. I asked the developer but they made it confusing with their responce. Thanks in advance.

Voice Mail App?

Hi All,
I don't know if this as been posted before, i couldn't find it if it was.
I'm looking for an app which will take voice mail and record it right on the phone when i miss a call. I've seen it for S60 phones but never for WinMo. I've been looking for almost a year off and on but have never found anything near what i want. If anyone has seen it send me the name please, it would be a great time saver.

Grandcentral?
I don't know if you'd be interested in all that it entails but check out http://www.grandcentral.com as a possible solution. It's not exactly what you're after but may work out for you....
Hey, thanks for the link. I think i may have found what i'm looking for! I have not tested or installed this yet, i'm at work. I'll be installing it over dinner and putting it to the test. Heres the link:

I've been using Callwave: http://www.callwave.com/landing/mobileVisualVoicemail.aspx?r=NONE
Again, it's not exactly what you said, but you can set it to send you and email with attachment which you can save to your phone.
I was using SimulScribe/SimulSays, but their customer service is atrocious. So bad that at one point the CEO emailed me to apologize for how I was treated after reading the email exchanges only to ignore my response email asking if my lost voicemails could be recovered. I guess the answer was no.
The other nice thing about Callwave is that it will transcribe your voicemail (good for reading messages while you're in meetings). I don't know if that's free longterm however.
i'll be interested to hear how the isecretary worked out...
HI,
I haven't had a chance to really test it out yet, I've been super busy. I did test it when i first downloaded it and i think it may have deleted all of my contact #'s. Not sure it was the program or something i did as messing with my phone seems to be my new habit. At present i can record a message from an incoming call but i'm having trouble getting the greeting to play. Adjusting the settings may be all thats needed but i don't have the time to do it yet. If i get it under control i'll post what i did to get it to work.

SMS Backup

Morning all, sorry if this has already been answered, I did do a search, but had no success. I currently have a Hero, but am due to have my HD2 delivered tomorrow. Is there a simple way of transferring all of my SMS and MMS settings to the phone.
Please dont flame if this has already been answered, I did look first before posting.
Cheers
Are you talking about transferring settings or the actual messages?
The former isn't really needed, you'll have that set up automatically for you. Re messages I've never heard about a tool that would transfer stuff from Android to WM and I would seriously doubt such a thing exists.
Its the actual messages itself, just wondering if there would be a simple way of backing up my messages, then putting them onto the HD2 when it arrives. If it cant be done not overly worried, just thought it would be cool if I could.

[Q] record sent sms

ok noobie question i know but im not finding my answer anywhere.
I am working on an app the details are not important for this question except, the app will send sms messages and i want to record them into the conversion as a normally sent message would be. can anybody point me in the right direction? I have worked out the receiving, sending, reading etc.. but for the life of me cannot figure out how to add the sent ones into the normal message lists as if the user had sent it.
Also, how do i get a standing icon in the notification bar when the app is running in the background? i can send notifications no problem but have not figured out how to leave the icon up there when backgrounded.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Exact code not required but just a generic idea of how to do it or the calls needed and i will figure it out from there.
Thanks for you time, help and patience in advance.
emmmmm i had an app like that. fake sms i think

^ Indeed, why would you even want that inbox-sh*t.
i hate it too and would love to know if it can be turned off.... its the first thing i do on a winmo phone. sometimes i just want to keep one particular text someone has sent. maybe its a personal message or some important information i want to be able to get to straight away. id rather keep all the messages seperate so i can see whats what. with threaded texts its buried in a huge conversation. i can understand why people might want it, but theres plenty who dont want it aswell, so why not give us the choice?
I'm not completley sure, but I THINK Handcent gives you that option..
But I may be wrong and I'm kind of tired so don't expect me to be right.

Well you could scroll to the message you want , press hold it and select lock message. Thus of you delete the entire thread and not tick the delete lock messages button, what you would have left is only the locked message.

SMS limit removal

I send out the same text to a group of people quite often and I get a message saying messenger is sending a large amount of messages do you want to allow this? I have to click on it for each message that goes out. Is there any possible way to change the limit? I know you used to be able to set it to anything you want in settings/security but it's not there anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated...this is so annoying.
Have you tried GoSMS Pro?
Maybe I've never sent to as many as you, but I've never encountered that warning or behavior. I've used GoSMS for several years.
I've only seen this when I send many messages in quick succession (either with Google Messenger or something like Tasker). There should be a checkbox that says to always allow.
I'm also looking for a solution. I was using ResurrectionRemix (a CM based ROM) and it has an option to set the text restriction. So, it CAN be done. We just need to know WHERE the code is so that it can be changed. I can't find any search results explaining how to accomplish this. That SMS Limit Unlock app doesn't work on later ROMS.
After hours of searching today - it appears that the setting has been moved into the framework?
com.android.internal.telephony
https://android.googlesource.com/pla...geMonitor.java
I hope I'm wrong as I'm no Android dev.... But, if I'm correct the only way I know of to "fix" it is to make the change in a custom Android build/ROM.
This SUCKS as I use mass texting for business purposes (communicating with many individuals who sign up for contract work). I really like Android N (along with AndroidPay) - but, looks like I'll be going back to M (on a custom ROM)...
If anyone locates/determines a way to alter that file using RootExplorer/Sqlite or some other way - please let me know.
