I believe the problem here is the fact that I nor anyone else who has looked at this has any idea what the OP is talking about.
It doesn't help that he abbreviates horribly and uses SMS slang. Nor the fact that he seems to explain his thoughts thoroughly.
Please help us help you, by taking the time to properly type out the problem or situation you wish to correct. Without basic information or even understanding the problem there is no possible way for us to help you.

Flash SMSs are
Flash SMSs or class 0 sms are SMS, but are not shown normally and it doesnt go into the inbox
They are shown as a popup with an OK button only. Once you press OK, the message is gone. It is used by some service providers as a means to tell (mostly pre-paid) users how much money they spend for the last call/sms/mms/data activity etc.
I hope this will raise this thread from the dead as i want to block my data usage flash sms.

Anyone? I really want to disable the constant popups from my service provider.

not a flash sms, but also very annoying (might address your case too):
settings->call->cell broadcast->off

Solution to Block Flash Messages Display on Screen
=======================================================================================================
I suffered a lot the same way as u r getting flash messges too many times, i called my serivce provider(idea), but they didn't help me.
Finally i found an app which could solve my problem. Yes, my problem solved 100%. I am very much happy now. I am not getting flash msgs on my screen after installing this app.
You can disable Flash Messages in your mobile, if ur mobile is an Android.
Go To Google Play, search for USSD Blocker, Install "Balance Update/USSD Blocker by Sriram Melkote"
I hope this app will help you, if u r an Android User.

I can definitely test. I am actively blocking calls and SMS/MMS from my ex-wife with Extreme Call Blocker at the moment.
<edit> Downloaded and installed. How do you want to receive feedback?
Please do, and let me know if you encounter any issues. Our app (in terns of functionality at least) is way better than the one youre tlaking about!
i just installed it. since the app also blocks sms, it would be nice to be able to add phone numbers from your sms messages. For example in my country we get sms from the government.
Also, it would be nice to have the option to make an action to send a sms to the caller. Perhaps you are driving and would have a profile "driving" enabled that will automatically reply to a caller with a sms

I know it's another app you'd have to run, but check out Bzzy. There's a lite and $0.99 version here. It does basically that.
The auto-reply feature is already in the works an should be ready for the RC build next week.
I will look into parsing sms messages too...
Updated, let me know if your issues are fixed please!

actually chuckled about this.
So much for rogers calling me now!
I'm getting an error every time it gets Root Access that says:
"The Application Voice Commands (process com.nuance,=.android.vsuite.vsuiteapp) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I'm running fix permissions now to see if it helps.
It didn't fix the FC on Voice Commands when call blocker gets root access.
Just downloaded, I will let you know if I hit any snags
I went back to Extreme Call Blocker. Sorry, but it works perfectly for me, and the menus are more intuitive, and the services easier to set up.
Hope this takes off for you though. Thanks for the chance to help test.
Thanks... its surprising how little people actually help us, even though we do our best to improve things for people.

Chillout guys, back on topic please.
works perfectly dude, already blocked my ex girlfriend, and her (boy)friends also, is good to control my received call and my received messages =p
If you experience problems, donj just post here - SEND US LOGS.
You can use the "Write to developer" item in the Settings menu!
sometimes it asks for a password, i press back button and it desappears
I think ive fixed that... it will be in the next build in a few hours!

[Q] People recovering my deleted texts!

So I decided to sleep over at my girlfriends the other day and woke up to her yelling at Me. The then got mad at me for testing other girls that were just my friends ( I know, It's kind of ridiculous). Anyways the strange part is I had deleted the messages and then she told me she knows how to view deleted messages. So I've been looking around online for a while now and I haven't heard of any way to view messages when they are deleted. Oh by the way she isn't very tech savvy. So any ideas how she is viewing messages that I have deleted? Also I'm using handcent, but the messages are not on the stock messaging app.
Any chance she installed some kind of app on your phone another time that keeps your texts and email in memory seperately. Oh yeah and find a new girlfriend, even though she was right she shouldn't be invading your privacy that much.
Pimpin ain't easy. In the meantime, you should keep a screen lock on it.

Mm it will be hard to tell with Android , anyways , some people is having problems erasing sms because they come back up in the device(I think is HTC sense.com ) but.you should just lock the screen, and if she ask you why you locked it , well tell her that you want to make sure if you loose it don't want anyone messing with it ha ha
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d

She quoted the conversation almost perfectly ha... So either she has it sent to her phone VIA some spyware app that i haven't noticed, or she found a way to outsmart half the world and bring texts back from the dead... Ha any ideas guys? I don't like the idea that someone can read my deleted messages.

Ya maybe. It would be nice to know how she did it. Plus Idk how she will react to lock codes. I guess we will see.
From the msg list screen in handcent hit the menu button. Then select more. Hit delivery report. This shows all sent msgs but not received. Not sure if that is what she was looking out. from the report if you hit menu you can clear the log.
Freak I think that was it! Sweet! is there something like that on the stock messaging app or just handcent? Thanks a ton!
There are ways to recover erased text messages.
Most likely, you have a sms logger, something like smsbox.
As a side note, I would get rid of someone spying on me. Trust is a major part of a relationship, spying shows no trust, which dooms any future.
Make sure the sms/mms forward feature is disabled. Maby she set it up to forward your messages to her email or phone. (Messaging, Menu, Settings, Forward To...)

get this app
The hidden message app. Been using it a while .. makes cheating a breeze ! It looks like a stupid stoner app. But really hides all messages and calls to a privite folder that u need a pw to get at !!
If you have Google Voice integration the Google Voice app holds a longer history.
Maybe you're really trying to get us to help you recover her deleted messages. Judy kidding. Maybe she's using Dexrex

[Q] HUGE Annoying Messaging Problem On Stock

I have a huge and annoying messaging problem on stock. Here's my problem. I text somone and the conversation is formed. When they text me back their message pops up on top of mine and says I've received it at a completely different time! When I text back, the message appears directly below my other message I sent... and so on.. So the messages get all jumbled up! This is REALLYannoying.. HELP?
ANYONE????!!!!
Which ROM are you using and which messaging app?
I'm using stock ROM (2.1 Update 1 with sense).. with the default messaging app.

You know my problem? or not?
Ok. One thing to try. Go to 'manage applications ' then delete data from messages app. This shouldn't delete your messages but you may want to back them up first. Then restart your phone. That is all I can suggest, unless you have thousands of messages, in which case I' d suggest to delete quite a few. Other than that I don't know unless its a carrier problem.
Just thought of one more obvious answer. Go to date and time settings and see if 'network provided values' is checked

Tried it, I'm texting someone now and once I get the response back I should be able to tell if ticking this option changed anything

Aw man. It didn't work Too bad. Thanks for the help anyway. I'll continue my searches.
The time stamps for the incoming text messages seem to arrive at completely different times (FYI)
Anyways if you could offer any further help, it would be greatly appreciated.
I solved it.. I installed SMS Time Fix by Matthew Precious (from the android market) and it fixed my problem.. Thanks for all the help though

[Q][Solved] Last call cost notification for sent SMS

I am getting annoyed by this stupid flash notification I get everytime when i send an sms (particularly in india)
Is there anyway to disable this thing ? it is very very annoying.. hope the experts here would help me out with
call service provider and shout at them..
droid is doing what they are sending. if you want to disable popup completely from inside of os then you might need to dig out the source of generation
completely isnt a good option... as we would need to see our balance now and then.. and even last call cost...
just for sms would be better.. even after rooting these stupid things cant be get rid off.. lot of searching and stil couldnt find any solution
You can try search in android apps and games section "balance update / USSD blocker".

Same issue here.
Unfortunately even ROM reinstall couldn't fix it, so I guess Google stores it online, but I didn't see an unhide option.
Does anyone found a solution?
Anybody got an update on this? I tested the hide option on my WIFE and can't get her back! yeah, I can type her name in and create a new hangout, but that's a lot more effort while driving than simply hitting a big icon of her face!
Thanks.

Unfortunately I didn't found an option to this. I think it's pathetic.
Me neither. I really dislike hangout. Beside that stupid bug, since I installed hangout even when I don't have any nerwork, I'm considered online 24/7 to people even when I just wish to be left alone and not be reachable offline. I checked there is a hangout/gtalk session that stay active 24/7 I tried the tricks to kill it with pilgrim but it comes back.
This is really uncomfortable. I sometimes just wish to be offline or invisible, I'm actually thinking of disabling definitely gtalk/hangout...

For the hide issue, I think it is same as removing in older gtalk version. You have to invite that person again to unhide him/her.

I don't think so, because on PC I'm using the old google talk client and the friend who i accidentally hid in hangouts is still visible in my contact list as online.

Have you tried inviting her again with hangout? I don't use hang out, so I can't be sure, but I think there must be a way to readd, if not unhide, your contact.

There is no readd because he is in my contact list (phonebook, gtalk) just hidden from the recent hangout list. I can send a message too and vica-versa.
It's not a big issue for me, I just think it's pathetic that there is a hide option, but no unhide or manage hidden contacts or something.

I just tried that but the ghost idle away session is still active even after disconecting from app. And l checked in gmail the other active session button and made sure to disconect them all. But I'm still 24/7 idle away. I hate that, specially right now where I really don't want people to see me or try to contact me. I have to block them so that they don't see me online it's pathetic ! Like hunfatal said. F... hangout.
I have the same issue and it does not appear that google implemented a way to unhide them.
