How to delete 15000+ spam messages ? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When selecting all the text messages in the Spam box the app just hangs and asks me to wait or stop the app.
There must be some app to help with this ?

Is it accessible from third party apps?

I have tried many popular sms apps that claims to delete spam, but it seems that Lollipop 5.1.1 blocks them from being deleted via an app

I'm not sure, try in safe mode. You need root.

Hi
Try MOBILedit . its a software to manage your phone via PC through USB / Bluetooth connection.
It can help with what you wanna achieve here.
I been using it for quite sometime. It makes managing phone easy.

I have just tried Mobiledit, but Spam messages is not seen anywhere under the Messaging option - just normal Messages.
Have tried looking in Files & User Files, but do not know where it is located ?
Also I do not want to root my phone (yet) due to KNOX warranty issues.

15.000 spam messages?!
Djeez...

SMS security

All
is it possible to lock the SMS inbox to prevent unauthorised access at all?
Thoughts and solutions as always welcome.
Thanks
Pete
suppose it could be possible with 3th party software
but why not just put a password on the whole pda ?
it's already supported and would protect your data much more
should anybody steal the pda
hear hear
password protecting the Inbox would be very useful - and other folders for that matter.
The scenario in my case is not resolved by password protecting the whole PDA since you may wish to give someone access to the PDA - to play a game for instance. If there is no way of protecting your data beyond that then there's nothing stopping them having a nose around or doing damage (accidental or mallicous) whilst 'playing'.
I'd be interested to hear more on this. I'll have a look for 3rd party stuff in the meantime.

This is a must have 3rd party tools but still have some bug and errors
getting it to work
this is brilliant!! ...but it doesn't work.
Has anyone been able to get this program working?
I've installed the two files into: \Windows on my phone
I then run the .exe file and the program starts. I've been able to set up a password.
I've set up a new Category for contacts: Hide
and set the contact's category (whose messages are to be hidden) to: Hide
I then go to SMSHide 1.0 and select "Hide Messages" from the Messages menu and a msgbox reports that "0 messages hided succussfully".
For what it's worth, a test to see if any of my messages have been protected goes to show that they haven't. No password is required, the messages can just be accessed as normal.
Also when I turn Autohide ON, the program interface becomes inaccesible - it just shows "SMSHide v.10 " in the title bar.
You kind of worry that, being this buggy, it'll go and lock all your messages and they'll be locked out for good!!
Pity cos we really need something like this.
anyway I've posted these comments to the developer and wait on them or anyone else here who's had success getting back to me.
me either.. its not working.
Hope somebody out there who can help our predicament. this is a very important utility and I know most of PDA users are needing this. In this way we can share our PDA to our friends without fear of letting them snoop in our small secrets...
possible solution
hi there:
have you seen the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=23057
somebody else started it up and I found at least one answer to the problems I mentioned. have a look
You guys must be doing some serious adultry!!! I just have another fone for the ladies! Seriously, finding sms messages from other women seems to be no 1 reason for relationship breakdown these days!
I'd like a whole seperate hidden area of files and sms on my xda, away from prying eyes?
that site was already posted. I tried it and it seems to work. The problem is, if you happen not to hear the message tone, you will not know that you have a message so you have to hide and unhide all the time for checking. You also have to set all your contacts to private and hide category.
Maybe in the future, there will be a new software that will just hide the whole things easily.

[Q] Disable deleting messages from inbox

Is there any way to disable the "Delete" option for my messages in inbox?
That is no one should be able to delete the messages.
Not aware of any such system, but, you can use one of the various "App Lockers" which will lock the messaging app with a password. Or, alternatively, take backups of your messages regularly using any SMS backup app.

Very intresting.. u might be facing some serious accidental deletes / unauthorized deletes. But u might not find a messaging application like that.
---U can lock any apps with "App Protector" preventing the unauthorized usage. I guess u also need individual msg locking, but I don't know whether it is available presently.
---And there are full fledged sms backup applications (say "Sms Backup & Restore"). U can set automatic scheduled hourly backups to memory card. And u can restore and even can access the backed up content from pc.
---And if u still need an option to disable the deleting, maybe u should ask the devs. Or maybe u should write ur own source (if u r a programmer) without the delete option and compile it. Don't know how far it works, but definitely it is a tough one.

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.

Multiple SMS Applications

Hello,
i own an OnePlus 2 which is rooted with the Exodus ROM with android 6.0 also the xposed Framework is installed.
At the Moment I try to use two SMS apps because i like some stuff in both but they both have disadvantages.
Is there any possibility to send SMS via both apps? Because everytime I try it I have to change the default messenger app.
I also try to change the permissions of the apps but it didn't help
have a nice day
Sir Hamburger
Hi, what you are hoping to do cannot be possible since the system accepts one sms app at a time, it's deeply coded and works with the sms push and the network provider. so you can't have both sms apps corresponding to the same network, system or device. the option is just not available yet. you have to choice either way.
First of all thank you steps parku for the answer.
I solved it now with a tasker profile with the secure settings extension
If you start an other sms app tasker sets it on default.
Kind regards
Sir Hamburger

Notifications problems

Hi to everyone!
I have many friends that have Huawei smartphones and all them find out
the same problem with the notifications of some apks (Whatsapp and Telegram).
I have tried to set them like protected apk and look if others options
can block their notifications.
I have tried to install 3rd party apk to force notifications but it works
sometimes.
This problem came out when the smartphones have been upgraded
from Android 5.x to 6.0...from EMUI 3.x to EMUI 4.x
Someone said that the problem is the EMUI interface....with EMUI 5.x and Android 7
there is the same problem?
Have someone find out a definitive solution?
The Huawei have said something?
Have a nice day!
I had the same trouble with some application, the method that worked for me was this one : http://www.forbes.com/sites/bensin/...uawei-phone-heres-how-to-fix-it/#7c4eb3c78aa7
Also in the battery manafer, set the alim mode to "performance"
I have been same problem with push notifications and i find a way to resolve it. Applications with that issue must be locked in task manager.
If you can tweak that applications (gmail, whatapp, viber, skype, etc) to be "immune" at "close all" command of task manager
(with Lock symbol at upper right corner) that remain active when screen is off, even after restart the device.
With that applications locked, is not important if phone is in Smart/Performance mode or if an application is protected or not...
The trick is to lock a application in task manager. Somebody can try this solution and post result here...
From 2-3 weeks my device work properly regarding push notifications , tested from another phone any time, all notifications appear ok.
The real problem
Hi!
Thanks to everyone!
I have tried various solutions, but finding however an anomaly.
If arriving messages with Whatsapp or Telegram by direct contact all work,
if the message comes from a group the notifications will not come unless arrive a direct message.
Someone has encountered the same thing?
Have a nice day!
If its only group message, it may habe somethinf to do with the group being "Silent", check the group settings !

Thanks for your response.
I deliberately silenced some groups, others have notifications attived but them only comes when I open the application or if comes a message from a direct contact.
Phone battery manager. Put social chat apps that need to have real-time notifications as protected.
In settings, apps, advanced, ignore optimizations.
Whitelist the same apps.
That's all.
Hi!
Thanks for everyone.
The problem seems to be almost gone. On two days of testing only twice notifications groups were arrived late or partially.
I hope it is a definite solution and not an occasional event.
Have a nice day.
I have this problem with Twitter and Gmail;
As Twitter is protected and on the ignore optimization list but gmail is no where to be found in both menus;
Both apps are allowed to use what ever network (Data or WiFi)
I've been reading a lot about this one, but luckily never experienced it myself. Every notification arrives on time.

I've tried everything mentioned but the only thing that worked for me was to use a VPN app on mobile data then I get all notifications. Never missed any after using VPN try it. I use Opera Max but there are many others as well.
