I know the title sounds a tad confusing, but that's because what I want to do is kind of confusing.
I want to send a text to a phone number, but have my phone not actually send the text at all, meaning that there would be no chance they would ever receive it, but it would make it look as if I texted them (I know I could edit my text logs with an app or some sort of SMS restore app, but I want to see if there is any way to do this).
All help is much appreciated

hmmm... i see what you mean.... you need a messaging app that has the capability of allowing you to send "duds." ive noticed that if you have multiple messaging apps, sending one with one app shows in the others, so i assume they all use the same database for storing your sent/received messages. so actually, what you need is one that toggles a block for the messages, telling your phone you successfully sent the message while keeping it from leaving the phone. the best way for it to be integrated would be a setup where you hold the search button to toggle the block. this would let you send a message in front of someone, have it injected into your logs, and it not really be sent at all. i dont know of any app like this, but if you are a developer yourself (im not. im on this site because its helpful and i like it.) or if you know one who can do it, it seems like it wouldnt be difficult to make, although root would be a likely necessity.

i think i found one. if youre willing to shell out the 100 pennies for it, maybe this is what youre looking for.

try it within the first 15 mins of getting it, and if youre displeased, go back to the market page and hit refund.

Exactly what I am looking for, is a way to send "dud" messages. Anything or any way to do so would be absolutely beautiful (I only wish I was still a developer. I got to C# and stopped years ago, then never recovered back to my potential).
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you sir

Not sure if this has been asked yet, searching didn't give me any results anyway - but apologies if its been asked.
HP Touchpad + HP Pre3 connect and the tablet can be used to read text messages etc along with a few other features
So, I was wondering if anyone has fiddled with trying to get Android to connect to WebOS for SMS/Missed call alerts?
closest thing I can think of right now would be using Phone Portal to connect your Motorola device. It uses WiFi and the browser.
Wish there was a way to do that.
Have you tried DeskSMS? It sends your SMS's to your Gmail.
Might be any good?

Nice one! I think that could be a viable option until someone figures out how to either make an app for android/webos to do it, or something more advanced.
I was just about to post this, theoretically it shouldn't be impossible to achieve although I'm far from an expert in the area (read: not an expert at all). I'd happily donate to any developers which could create a patch for it, as I'm sure would many other touchpad owners.

Yep, I'm expecting a bluetooth app for it.
Must admit i'm annoyed with how restricted the feature is - i mean the car, tv, and pc can all get text alerts from the phone. (Actually that's a lie, the car stopped getting text messages when i went to android)
So i'm sure its doable, its just a matter of getting a dev interested in doing it - unfortunately I wouldn't know where to start.

Hi,
I have been semi interested in this SMS system. Mainly because I like the idea of integrated systems with Facebook perhaps.
What do you guys use? I know there is the stock SMS but i don't know - it just doesn't appeal to me any more
Or more importantly, I would love an SMS system which could put a hidden prefix of *0# at the start of each message (and not show it that I sent it like that when viewing messages) because my network requires this stupid prefix for delivery reports.
Your suggestions would be very much appreciated
Edit: Ok skip about FB integration. Seems FB get annoyed about others using their service but happy to leech other people. Hmm..
I used Handcent SMS since forever, but now for some reason it's no longer available on the market.
I found GOSMS and am actually quite happy. I like it better than Handcent. And the themes are pretty cool, especially Machine City.

Thanks for reply Though I guess more importantly for me is the prefix idea. I don't suppose you know or heard any similar SMS program that would do this? I did add it as a feedback suggestion to these guys. No idea if it would be implemented though.
Did you delete the stock SMS?

I'm also using GO SMS PRO and for me it's awesome, but I don't have very big requirements. For normal user it has got everything, for sure it's better than stock sms app.
E :I'm not sure that an app supports adding prefixes.

I just changed from an iPhone 5 to HTC ONE and I'm so frustrated at this issue. In iPhone, after sending a text message the keyboard stays on the screen in case you want to type something right after what you sent previously. In HTC One however, If I type "Hello" and press send, the keyboard will hide in bottom before I can type "How are you?" in the following separate text message. It's pretty frustrating to keep clicking the white part to bring back the keyboard up to send a follow up text. I've tried all kinds of things but just can not seem to find a solution to this problem. Any help will be appreciated. BTW it's running stock at&t software and nothing has been modified.
That's the way it's supposed to be there's no fix because nothing is broken

That's how a normal phone works. Why would you send multiple messages in a row?
Here is how a normal person sends a text:
Hi, how are you? Wanna meet at taco bell for lunch?

Amazing

I hate people like you. Text 1 Hello. 2. How are you? 3. Whats going on tonight?.
If your going to have a conversation with the person then call them if not then just get straight to the point. I think the fix is knowing when you make a phone call vs text.

as noted, this isn't a 'problem' with the phone. it's working properly. i almost dont want to dignify your questionw itha response due to, as others noted, your apparent penchant for sending a series of short texts taht could easily jsut be one message. part of the problem is you. that said, I will provide a response because i use an app that deservesplugging and is truly a spectacular addition to the phone. Get yourself the Chomp SMS app from the app store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.p1.chompsms and at chompsms.com). It's tremendous for about 1000 different reasons, one of which is that is allows you to control when the keyboard auto-hides.
to your credit, years ago when i switched to Android from iPhone i did find this setting odd. however, i got used to it and actually much prefer it now. i'd probably dropkick myself in teh face if i had to deal with the keyboard staying up and that tiny little screen on the iPhone again...you can only see about 2 messages! that was horrifically frustrating.

also, it really sucks that this is your first post in XDA. i know we're long past the days where these forums were saved for the dedicated developer and hardcore enthusiast, but this is just a sad introduction ot use on XDA. it's crap like this that's turning these forums into the new android/droid forums...do a little reasearch before posting, okay? maybe even read the rules of the forums?
hello guys
i made mistake and use textra for two year, well it was a better app than stock android 4.3 sms app,but yesterday i noticed new messaging app from Cyanogenmod 12.1 on my xperia sp is great! and then i noticed because i,m a flashoholic and play around with so much rom, i never backuped my messaging storage apart from textra,so then i backed up my messaging storage with SMS Backup & Restore app until i find i dont have my older ( 60000+) message from textra! so yea had a small search and find out textra sms is the only sms app that use its own database! [email protected]$#%^&%#%& !! and there is no way to get it on stock or any other sms app beside convert messaging.db from textra database.
i find this : https://github.com/sync-oz/convert-textra-db-to-xml
but i cant figure it out how to do it in windows 10 and i,m not expert on this kind of method
can you get me right and more specific Instructions from link above? or can you make a simple app with script that read textra database and convert it to xml?
can anybody save me from textra?
Nobody? Just a tip to how to do it?

To be honest restoring sms data is asking to corrupt the dB which can lead to sms app not working properly

I wouldn't know where to start with that even if I needed to.
I agree that trying that would probably just lead to more issues because you are crossing apps and crossing operating systems and the operating systems are different versions. Usually, an operating system doesn't like files that were saved or generated in another operating system and android versions don't like files from other android versions. Depending on the data that is from other systems, that system kind of "tags" it so that it knows that it was the one that created it and where it was saved to, that can cause issues due to partitioning differences between android versions.
Are the messages that important?

I have to agree. When I asked textra about it they stated that it was encrypted so only their app could read it.

I know what you saying, but textra app make me use its own app like forever, and thats not what i want! And database of textra is seprate from any system function,and if we convert it to xml it just can be readable for stock sms app in every other rom,
Just look at the app to know it better

Yeah, I'm sure its easily readable in a text editor, there is a difference in reading a .txt file in a text editor and viewing an actual text message.
But bringing those texts to a different app to view them is another story.
If you could convert as easily as you seem to think then why haven't you done it yet. You keep posting links that you think will make it possible but they aren't working for you yet, are they? Hmm...I wonder why? Maybe because it can't be done the way you are trying?
If you want your messages restored then try to do it with the Textra app....you know....where they actually came from to begin with...the app that is already capable of reading them? Do it the way its guaranteed to work instead of trying something that could potentially corrupt your device AND possibly corrupt the messages you are trying to recover, if you corrupt them in the attempt then they'll be gone for good and you will have wasted your time. I'm just saying go with what already works.
The second link in your post above me has numerous posts from users that keep saying that textra messages are tied to textra and can't be imported. The developer of Textra even states that it doesn't work. I'm sure the guy that created the app would know infinitely more about it than you do.
Give it up, you aren't gonna get those messages in a different text app. It just isn't going to work. You are not the first to have tried it.
Just take it as a lesson learned and move on, just keep this as a reminder to backup what you want to keep before flashing over it. Use SMS backup to backup/restore your Textra messages.

Search it on google,you will find that can be done by having a right table,but i dont know what table i should use.
you think you know it all? It is doable to convert it by just a script but i cant do it because i dont have that knowledge,it seem you dont have it to,i simply asked to know what should i do,is asking wrong? so go then please i dont need someone that knows less than me..thank you

So i done it, i searched alot(almost 1 week),read alot and at the end i learned to do it,i converted textra database to xml,and restored it to android stock messaging app and deleted textra app for ever. I just want to say next time try to help somebody, don't disappoint them, and do not say anything unless you know it all because nobody here on xda ask for wrong direction! Soon i will make a complete tutorial and post it in gerenal section.
Please do. I'm sure lot of people will be interested including me as I'm gonna try Textra for the first time. Before switching from stock messaging, I wanted to know if I can roll back easily and I ended up here and here : Textra... Beware!, and the confirmation from the developper here : How to get textra messages to appear in stock sms?. It seems it's not so easy by design.
So definetely I'll be interested in your tutorial.

If he gave general steps, then someone could work with that. How hard would it be to type 3 or 4 more sentences? I'll believe it when I see it, which I'm not sure I will.

Oh I don't know, maybe someone has seen this type of attack before. Maybe someone does know how a phone number can even get attached in the manner it did. One thing I'm confident in is if anyone has any positive thoughts on the matter it would be a great help. Certainly though I can see this has upset you in a way that was not my intent. My thought was perhaps others who own an s21 are seeing the same thing or perhaps they are not. Lastly, your right, it is my device. A device that I didn't put the number on there and I have no idea how to remove that switch or input or whatever it's called. However, I do apologize for triggering your anger and will try to keep that in mind for future post. Thanks again and be safe.

Ya it's just odd given the issues I've had in the past. Why that number of all the numbers and contacts that I have this number that I've never seen before and is nowhere else on my phone is somehow attached itself to my phone. It won't let me remove it and it appears that if toggled on that number would receive notifications of my messages.

Who's upset? I'm just saying that we have no way of knowing what the number is or where it came from. Yes, someone may be able to explain "how" the number got put there, but, ultimately it got there through someone using the device(whether you or someone else) and that someone somehow allowed it or granted something access somewhere(whether they were aware of it or not) because android doesn't just allow anything to randomly apply itself to an android device without being granted access or given permissions. It is from some app that you installed, an email that you opened, a message you answered, some kind of multimedia content that you opened or something like that. Android doesn't allow things that were not expressly allowed by the user, whether knowingly or unknowingly. Hence my reply about you being the one that uses the device. Review your usage and trace your steps back to whatever may have been the thing that you allowed or clicked on unknowingly.

It looks like you have received a text from that number.
Your SMS app allows you to mute notifications from that number.

They probably have the option to block the number also.

Who's upset? I'm just saying that we have no way of knowing what the number is or where it came from.

Well I believe it migrated over after rest and I restored my messages. The solution was to clear the cache and data of my messages app. The input is no longer there visibly at least. I will continue to battle those who wish to usurp my authority and permissions that encoded in my device. Thanks again.
that number is samsung's account verification number according to true caller id as to how it got there no idea..
