Notices

Yes, but not much. There is still a problem with suppressing
the notification. It works mostly but sometimes especially for
SMS-messages the notification starts for a short time before
my app can block the message.

Hi nicolai,
Can the block feature be added to conversations? I mean sometimes I receive and SMS from a number/person that I don't know off (generally advertisements) and just wonder if it's possible to tap on top menu in conversations and find an option "block this number?"

- Please add regular expressions (or wildcards ie: *, ?) for number filtering.
- App doesn't work when sms haven't number (ie: adverts with sender "Orange"). I need to block all sms with not numeric sender.

Hi,
Have you tried to add Orange to the blocklist? You are not forced
to enter only numbers. Another user tried this and said it would work.

Hi Nikolai,
I'm really looking forward to this app and where it gets to. For me so far wouldn't be much of use yet cause for me it would be equally important that txt messeges that I don't want don't even show up anywhere as well they don't even get saved in a txt file, although it would be nice to have an option(opt-in) to save it in a txt or some GUI so that I don't have to waste time reading something I don't wanna read.
Does it work for emails? I mean to switch off notification for certain senders, not to completly block it. I can do the latter via my provider.
Some suggestions
1.) It would be nice If your app could scan for content. I mean to pediscribe certain context that blocks the message rather then by blocking it's number. If you are wondering why... Sometimes mobile providers send rather important txts, but mostly junk written with simmilar grammar.It could over time also filter msgs that come from an unknown number.
2.) To have the above option by contact as well. The reason would be to filter spam messeges from a contact as some IM services tend to get viruses that text in English even though I use different language with that contact.
4.) Excusions for any rule that have been applied so that mistakes can be avoided.
5.)If nr 1 was implemented to have an option after certain context and rules met to send an automated answer/forward. eg. I still get ppl looking for my mum on my num even though I'm using it for like 2 years and the contract was always on my name
6.) Can't you switch off notifications in eventlogger and have your app handle all notifications? And then the user could have the power to change sound/ light notification per contact and wouldn't have timing issues if it's even possibe to do so.
7.) To implement this app for phone calls as well although the spam filter would be useless.

Ok some of my ideas might not be down to earth and mostly just reflect my view how a 21st century communication device should work like(N900 is more than that) Being said that +1 for having all the options embedded into conversations,phone and contact apps.

PS: Sorry for the lenght.

this isnt working for me at all. I entered the number several ways:
+1##########
1##########
##########

i also entered the number as it appears in my address book

no dice at all.

any suggestions?

Hi ddiscodave,

Your conversations are stored in a sqlite3 database. Can
you look into the database? It shows the exact number
used to send/or recieve messages from this account.

nicolai

where do i find that database??

/home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/el-v1.db

Enter this in xterm to get a list of the sms contacts from the
stored conversations:
sqlite3 /home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/el-v1.db "select remote_uid, remote_name from remotes where local_uid='ring/tel/ring' "

First column is the used phonenumber, second column
is the contacts name.

i get permission denied when i enter this from /home/user:

.rtcom-eventlogger/el-v1.db "select remote_uid, remote_name from remotes where local_uid='ring/tel/ring' "
