remicco 0 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 "Note: Your system does not support SMS/MMS blocking" The above notification can be read when creating a new rule. My version of Android is 4.4.2. HTC Sense v5.5 HTC Software v3.10.401.6 Is it really not supported? Will it be supported soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Marcos 3,881 Posted April 8, 2014 Administrators Share Posted April 8, 2014 hxxp://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.4.html#SMS Beginning with Android 4.4, the system settings allow users to select a "default SMS app." Once selected, only the default SMS app is able to write to the SMS Provider and only the default SMS app receives the SMS_DELIVER_ACTION broadcast when the user receives an SMS or the WAP_PUSH_DELIVER_ACTION broadcast when the user receives an MMS. The default SMS app is responsible for writing details to the SMS Provider when it receives or sends a new message.Other apps that are not selected as the default SMS app can only read the SMS Provider, but may also be notified when a new SMS arrives by listening for the SMS_RECEIVED_ACTION broadcast, which is a non-abortable broadcast that may be delivered to multiple apps. This broadcast is intended for apps that---while not selected as the default SMS app---need to read special incoming messages such as to perform phone number verification.
