[Q] How to disable USSD in Desire - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
i recently purchased HTC Desire and i am more than satisfied with its performance apart from couple of things, the most annoying is the USSD messages + short vibration i receive when i send a message to one or to a group. each time a sms is sent, it shows me the balance amount available at my number and guys believe me when you forward a sms to your group of 20-30 people, its really annoying to keep pressing ok on all the notifications otherwise it will stay on the homescreen.
i am a sms freak and sends around 300-400 sms daily and i seriously need help in suppressing those annoying USSD messages + small vibration which eventually consumes my battery too. btw i am from India and use Aircel network (in case you need to know to use operator settings)
awaiting replies.
thanks

well, that is a operator based problem, so no matter what you do to your phone, it will still come, contact your service provider to solve this

Same question here,
Is there is any way to disable this annoying ussd code popup?
I surely hope there must be a way because i have done in windows platform by editing registry & also in symbian too.

Thanks superfast.. this one was killing my battery vibrating very frequently

a script that can prevent ussd Pop up?
I have long been suffering from the same problem,i have made a similar request on this forum, but no help yet,if a third party app like ussd checker on the market can evoke a ussd,i think a ussd can also be suppressed, or blocked, can any one please write a script, thnxs in advance

Yes, Now there is an app to disable or block USSD Balance / Messages
so type "Balance Update / USSD blocker" in googleplay u will find a app which will disable USSD Messages.

This app does not work on Android 4.2.2 or later

I also have the same issue. But I think finding that audio file from root and delete or replace with a silent tone would help. But the thing I haven't seen a sign of it. If anyone can find it please help us..

Receiving SMS messages after phone call and/or missed call

Is there a cab that can disable the SMS msg I get after a phone call or missed one?
And yes, I have searched high & low for a solution on this site & can't find it.
Thanks!
So, my situation is unique? No one else has had this issue?
It's not an sms message.. it's just a pop up... and its dependent on what rom you are using really on how you turn on and off your notifications. If you are running a custom rom like Energy or something go to their thread and ask how to disable the particular notification.
usually its settings\sounds and notifications\ then go to the notifications tab and in there you can change what your phone does for different events.

You want to turn off the "missed call" icon on the task bar? I don't recall anyone requesting this before...

No, he wants to turn of the message that comes in with details about the missed call (date/time).
The missed call notification was off. Actually, it shows as a SMS message with the phone number that called or the call that I made. It definitely seems like a ROM issue - just flashed to Jackos' (so far perfect IMO) ROM & haven't had that issue at all. Thanks - I think I've found the solution.
Hey guys, the damn notification is back again! What the hell is that?

[Q] Disable SMS Delivery Reports Notifications?

Hi,
Just moved from the Desire to the Desire HD and there is one thing that is bugging the hell outta me. I like to have delivery reports turned on for SMS messages, and on the Desire, this was perfect. To see a delivery report, I just held on the message and tapped Delivery report. It would show, Delivered, Failed or Pending. Nice. Non-intrusive.
NOW, on the Desire HD, I've enabled Delivery Reports, BUT, I now get a notification in the Status Bar area and a notification alert, like a new message has come in.
Does anyone know, cause I can't seem to find out how, to disable the Notification of Delivery Reports? I want the reports, but not the "new message" like notification. I hope someone can help, cause in all honesty, this is a deal breaker for me with this phone!
Just moved to DHD fro Desire myself and I cant seem to be able to turn this off..any pointers please.
Thanks in advance.

This is a shame one HTC, if features like this can be taken out if it was already existing in older devices... not to talk of the low Speaker volume...Moving for me seem to be a bad decision.
I have SMS delivery reports turned on but get no notification icon.
This could be because I use SMS Popup app and have turned notifications in the HTC SMS settings (otherwise I would get double notifications).
The main purpose of SMS Popup is to show a pop-up of your SMS (funnily enough!) as you get them, but you can turn that off and just use it to customise your notifications icons and various other tasks. It's very unintrusive and in over 18 months of using it on different phones I've never had a problem with it.
Might be worth a try for you guys...

Also good for those suffering the dual HTC notification problem.
So... you have delivery reports turned on in HTC's settings right?

I'm pretty much the same. I played around with the Popup part, but don't like it.
In the "Default Notifications" settings in SMS Popup I have the following set:
Show a Popup - OFF
Enable Notifications - ON
Notify on Call - ON
Vibrate - ON (set at 0,350)
Blink LED - ON (Set at "Normal" Blink rate)
I've also turned on Reminders as I tend to miss messages
It's working perfect for me!

Brilliant! It's such a good little app. I originally tried Handcent, Chomp and a few other SMS apps but none were as lightweight, unobstrusive and reliable as SMS Popup. It's so easy to forget you even use it.
Great idea! Thanks a lot !!!!!!!!
Million times TNX for this...
Not ideally working whit sense 3 lock screen, but everything is better then that irritating sound and notification at status bar for report. Why HTC make this idiotic report after that so cool on Desire?? WHY??
Did any of you, or any of developers here on forum try to edit Mms app (Mms.apk)?
I try to find this in it, because if you turn off HTC notification then you no get sms on lock screen. I guess it's in some of these files:
com\android\mms\ui\DeliveryReportAdapter.java
com\android\mms\ui\DeliveryReportItem.java
com\android\mms\ui\DeliveryReportActivity.java
Any one have idea how to find this? I use sense 3.0 Mms.apk
Me too, no clue .. sigh
I dont want to use that popup app, I chose android because of the notification system. How come there is still no fix to this annoying issue?

SMS Vibration settings

Anyone find a solution for customizing vibration settings when receiving SMS/MMS?
NO, handcent and go sms do NOT work. Actually, when setting a custom settings in those apps, vibrations stop completely.
I've tried tasker, but it's 1:10 that the vibration settings i enabled works. Only thing i've found tasker good for is, screen on when charging.
you want to get a vibration feedback, after the SMS has been sent?
or do you simply want to get vibration when a SMS arrives? (because that can be turn on/off by default on those Apps you mentioned)
is that what you are trying to do?
I think he means setting for haptic feedback like in CM....long vibrate...short vibrate ...millisecond tuning for vibration length...etc

what do you mean they dont work? i am using handcent and the vibration patterns work for me..i can change them to whatever i want (even custom)
make sure you are entering the format properly in handcent...its 0,______,______,______ (enter your off/on values [milliseconds], make sure there are no spaces)
might want to check your device if its not working for you...there is no problem with the app
I'm refering to custom vibration settings with receiving sms/mms. Default is 2 long pulses, id like to change that.
In handcent and gosms, you are able to allowed to enter custom vibrations settings ex: 200,0,200,0, etc. When doing so in both apps, vibrations stop completely. Also, their pre-existing options for vibration settings do not work either.
I'm just picky about how my phone vibrates when receiving sms/mms. I hate the 2 long pulses and wish it were just: 0,200,0
You obviously didn't read my post.. It does work.. It's cool though

You can download "SMS popup" from the market and mirror your stock messaging notification settings on it, disable the extra stuff like the actual sms popup feature, and when you get to vibration it has custom millisecond interval switches to adjust to your liking. Don't forget to disable notifications in stock messaging under settings and be aware that your screen won't turn on when you get a text as is by default with stock messaging there might even be a setting in sms popup to turn the screen on im not sure.
Hope this helps!

I cant believe more people dont want this feature as part of custom roms, heck even samsung roms.
my phone is on silent most of the day due to uni, and the galaxy s2 has the weakest most pathetic excuse for vibrations for recieved sms/call and i often miss it.
i realise gosms and handcent have this feature, but i dont like those bloated programs and i have privacy concerns with them.

No SMS notifications from inside conversation

I recently switched from an S4 to a Note 4, and have been missing lots of incoming SMS messages. I realize now that the S4 would beep any time a new message arrived, but the Note 4 suppresses notifications when you're inside the conversation for which a new message arrives. I can kind of see the logic for this - why would one need the phone to beep if you're already on the screen that's showing you the incoming message? In practice, though, I find that I leave the conversation screen open all the time when I'm not looking at the phone.
Most frequently, I keep the phone on a dock at my desk, hooked up to my KVM switch, so I can use my keyboard/mouse to write messages during the day. After sending a message, I switch back to my main computer/monitor and work over there until the phone beeps at me again. I rely on the SMS notifications to grab my attention, but need to explicitly exit the conversation after sending each message now if I want the beep to occur. The same thing happens when I put the phone in my pocket, holster, on the counter, etc. after sending an SMS. I'm sure I'll develop a habit after a while, but it seems foolish to me that I can't just stay in a conversation and have it beep whenever there's activity. This is the only email/IM/SMS app that I have that behaves this way.
I've tried to force the Messages app to beep at me whenever an SMS arrives, but there doesn't appear to be an option for this. Hopefully, I've just overlooked it, so:
QUESTION: Is there a way to configure the Messages app to beep whenever an SMS arrives, even if I'm already inside the conversation for the new message?
I'm using the stock ROM, no root, the default Messages app that comes on the phone, and a built-in notification sound (i.e. not something custom from the external SD card). Vanilla configuration. Thanks for your help.

In phone app go to settings - call - call alerts . There is option to alert you on notifications. Make sure you have this check.

Just to clarify, when I say "conversation", I mean that I'm reading an SMS thread inside the Messages app - not having a verbal conversation in the Phone app. Assuming that this is understood...
In the "Call alerts" page, I see several settings. Mine are configured as follows (where "+" is checked, and "-" is unchecked):
CALL VIBRATIONS
+ Vibrate when answered
+ Call-end vibration
CALL STATUS TONES
+ Call connect tone
- Minute Minder
+ Call end tone
ALERTS ON CALL
+ Notify during calls
Under the configuration above, would you expect the Messages app to beep when an SMS arrives on the thread that I'm currently reading?

Now i'm not sure. i need to see if in scenario you talking about i have notification, if i do i will explain my settings.
EDIT:
OK. I have notification. In settings in default messenger i have in notification Notification sound ( choose as you wish)
Vibrate +
Repeat message alert ( I got every 10 Min)
Pop-up display +
Lock Screen +
Status Bar +
What im reading messages i got pop-up with sound on top of message app.
But when im reading message and i get message from same person i don't have sound notification. It must be setup by software this way.
Did you find a fix? Mine does the same thing.

I'm still getting the same behavior. Missed several messages yesterday, in fact. This is the first thing I check after every OS update from AT&T, but I guess most people continue to prefer to not be notified when their text messages arrive.
If my screen is on while I'm in a conversation, you're correct, no notification will occur. But if my screen times out (locks) I will get a notification tone. I guess it just assumes you are looking at the screen if it's on and a message comes in.
Not aware of any way to change this.

I think that that's probably the intent. Maybe my habits are different than others', but I'm frequently not looking at the phone when the Messages app is up. Actually, before getting the Note 4 and training myself to switch off of Messages after reading each new text, I predominantly wasn't looking at the screen while Messages was up.
There's probably no one-size-fits-all setting here. It's just too bad that there's not an option to enable/disable audible notifications to fit individual preferences.
Did anyone ever find a way around this? You figure someone would have made an xposed module or something.
What a response.
Your response sounds like We should all be alike and conform.
Text notifications
Try '8sms' ... only text messaging app that I've found that will consistently notify me of incoming texts. Some apps will for a time but then stop doing so. This one has worked well for me.

Sound push notification issue

I have a problem with the sound notification from one app. Basically I turned on all permissions, auto start, all the stuff I could find on youtube still I don't receive sound and vibration notification from the app. It is a simple app where you get notified with two beeps sound 15 minutes before set time and I have floating notification and visual when the phone is in my hand, but when it is locked it doesn't notify me, it is shown on lock screen but doesn't awake the mobile phone and doesn't reproduce sound notification. Hope someone can help me, thank you in advance. Also on the dropdown menu and lock screen some facebook notifications are cut in half, are those MIUI system problems, or should I consider returning the phone because of some kind of error of this particular phone.

I had a similar issue with notifications and I fixed it by enabling "notification access" to "xiaomi service framework" in system settings. If that doesn't work, I'd try factory resetting.

I don't think it will work, but my question is how to add exceptions to the security and cleaner I assume that is a problem?
