[Q] Looking for a call filter

I'm looking for a call filter similar to Magicall on windows mobile. I would like to send all callers not in my contact list to voicemail while keeping a separate call log for blocked calls. Any suggestions on apps that actually work?

Try "call filter siesta", its a kind of free white list app.
You can define groups and individuals. It also have a nice feature
that can unmute your phone by sms.

easy filter is good and its also free

"Root Call Blocker" in the market works great, has a bunch of options for each type of call. Only thing is, you must be rooted for it to work. Its a paid app, but worth the price. I use it.

I recommend "Reverse Lookup", it has the ability to give geo location of the phone number's registered address and filtering features.
Powerful indeed!

Another recommendation for Root Call Blocker.

SMS App that hides notifications?

Hola! I'm looking for an sms app that allows me to hide messages from a certain number when received. I don't just want to hide the SMS, but I also want to hide the notifications for messages from certain numbers.
Been trying out Lookout Security and Plan B and their Find My Phone feature. What I notice is that Lookout sends an SMS to your phone, then it starts transmitting its GPS coordinates. Is there any way to hide this notification SMS? If my phone ever gets stolen I don't think it would do me any good for the thief to see a message from Lookout >.>
I've tried Go SMS msg filtering but it doesn't work like how I want it to. It suppresses the msgs and keeps them in a separate folder with no notifications, but what it actually does is smuggle the message and Lookout doesn't get a response that the SMS is received, and thus I cannot start tracking >.>
Any help?

Depends on your company, but you can call them and they can usually block SMS/call from certain numbers.

I don't want to block the SMS per se as it is needed by Lookout to start the trace, but what I am actually looking for is for an app that surppresses the notifications of messages from certain numbers. Basically the SMS is received but there will be no notice of it until I check a certain folder or something~

Avast! Mobile Security has those Features. If your phone is stolen you can send an SMS to it that has to begin with your set Avast! Password. Then you can start tracking, lock the device, start a Siren-Tone etc...! The message is not shown. The app is hidden under a fake name and will also inform you if the SIM card has changed and send you an SMS with the new number so you can send your commands.

You may want to take a look at AndroidLost in the market.
I have used SmrtGuart, Webroot, Lookout, and AL seems to work the best and uses zero resources.
You can use the web interface to locate, track, call, take pictures, wipe, record audio, etc and it does not use SMS, but if you do want to use SMS, you have that option to control from another number that you have approved (Google SMS, friend's phone etc). Feature List
It has hidden SMS as well.

I use Cerberus from the market and it has the features you desire

Thanks! I'll try out those apps

Settings to disable SMS/MMS

What settings can be used to disable sms/mms on a phone? What configuration can be changed or edited to not receive this? I have cdma / qpst or whatever is needed available to me

you want to receive no text messages? what are you using your phone for? the only way i know of to actually not receive them is to call sprint and have them disable yhour IP, but then you wont have any 3G connectivity. you could always just go into your settings and disable all notifications for sms apps.

If you don't want to receive SMS/mms what so ever, without any hacking, simply login into your account at the sprint website. Under my preferences, you can block data, block SMS/mms, or even block certain numbers, or voice altogether.
These settings exist for parents and punish their kids. Haha.

I dont want to turn it off via Sprint or just disable notifications. I am wanting to know if there is a setting in the config ##data# or similar that can be changed or edited to either not get the text or to make it so it doesnt come through on the device.
Any thoughts?

Miui has this.
You can whitelist or blacklist any number. You can choose to ignore the message, or simply block it from being received. You can also block messages from strangers with key words... Its very thorough, and available natively through miui.

Message Block and DND

Theres no option for blocking messages without numbers that have company names only. Need to be able to block messages by keywords.
Do not Disturb exceptions only have All / Contact's / Favorite Contacts/ None but there is no options for allowing individual numbers or a whitelist. I dont want favorites to contact me. I just want two emergency contacts ONLY.
Samsung need to implement the features like Huawei EMUI9+ have already.
