I am using CWM 10 with my S3 and was wondering how can I blacklist calls and texts from unwanted numbers? I know in the stock touchwiz5 you could add contacts to blacklist but I just don't see it with CWM 10...do I have to use a 3rd party app to do this now?
If you add the number as a contact you can send all calls to voicemail. I don't know of any way to block the texts though.

Hey thanks for this. I was able to setup send to voicemail. I haven't found a way to do away with text though. I'm guessing I'll have to use an app for both...

Looking for a sms/mms messaging app that uses my data plan instead of my text plan. Search with no luck. Anyone got anything......
That would just be email right?
Otherwise, SMS is always going to come in/send out via your text plan
I guess that would fall into email. Guess I'm looking for more of a chat based app. comes down to i would like to send and recieve messages with out a number trace.

What about "whatsapp messenger".. it looks like it might do the trick.

Kik messenger... similar to BBM....
The problem with most apps that say they are SMS replacements that use your data plan is that they are actually some type of IM program which would require the person you are trying to reach be using it as well.
I'd recommend Google Voice as it would be using the data plan on your end, but be sending a true SMS so the recipient sees it as an SMS. If they want to pay for a text messaging plan, that's their choice.
Certain IM clients like Yahoo IM can send SMS messages, but I don't think it's as clean, it's just easier for the recipient when they see a SMS coming from an actual phone number.
In any case, you'd end up having problems if you like to send pics via MMS. Google Voice does not support MMS (people have been requesting it for a while, I only hope it's on their roadmap).
Did'nt Go sms have this as a paid option?
Get Textfree...when u make account, it gives you number that shows up when u text somebody, and it uses data...I used it a lot on my ipod touch, not so much on my dinc, but still does the job

Live profile. It is supposed to work like blackberry messenger but you can use it cross platform (android, iPhone, BB). Downside is that tonuse it, both you and the person you are trying to reach need to have it installed.

What's a good app to block phone #'s? Text voicemail calls everything. I need some #'s to be absolutely blocked as if mine didn't exist.
Sorry I could search but on xda app.
Thanks

google voice can block numbers.
Works well for texts, says it does calls too. I have only used it to block texts though. Just add the number to your Blacklist.

I see where I can block MY phone from voicemail,text,ect but not where I can block other numbers.
Looking for an sms app that can report back to me when a message i sent has been read by the receiver. Need this for work been looking all day and havent found it.
Handcent says its does this but everyone giving feedback on that app are saying horrible things about missing text/not receiving text. I installed this and tried it sending about 30 text and 2 werent received until like 10 minutes later
Gosms - not sure if it does have this capability looked at the details of what this app does and didnt mentioned it did.
smspop up- doesnt do it just gives a delivery report. Which is understandable since this is just to make your sms pop up.
theres another one cant remember the name of it but the recipient has to have the app installed as well and has to be sent from that app.
Anyway to make the stock app do this?
**Mod's Delete if you want or merge but i searched over and over on this site and other sites and did not find the answer. Posted on here instead of general android app because this is the phone i use so im always looking at this thread.
Just use Kik messenger and get all your friends to join. It is live messaging and shows when messages are read. Just a thought, not exactly what you wanted as it doesn't work for SMS. A cool thing is it also tells you if they are typing.
Not sure if Handcent does that or not.

It won't work with normal texts. Kik/all those other apps are able to show when messages are read because they're internet-based.
Only certain carriers allow it. Not sprint .

gonna take a look at that app. does it have issues with not receiving or taking too long to receive a text.
Edit: looked at the feedback and many complaining about not receiving text and many not being able to send messages but I guess ymmv

Along the same lines- I get a text from 6351 about NASCAR or some racing stuff. Did you cancel the texting service or block the number?
Stock app should filter it out. If you use go sms you can blacklist the number so it don't show up.

I save that number as a contact than i used sms pop-up to set a notification for it. Once I did that i used the no pop-up and alert option. So now I no longer get that text on my screen it just happen in the background without me ever knowing. Pretty sweet.

if using go sms or handsent you need to change the notification settings to not block the built in messaging app's notifications. then reboot your phone and annoying text messages should stop. you can search for more details on exactly how to change the settings.

So there are numerous posts and questions on how to get sprint visual voicemail working with miui or aosp roms.
For the life of me I can't get it to work no matter what method I use.
Can someone please help who has successfully got it working on there rom please reply with the exact steps you used.
Would really like to figure out the proper method on this.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Once you have it installed, click the mic icon up top on the right, record whatever(background noise is fine) then click send and send it to [email protected] this will provision the voicemail so that it works. You will receive annoying texts from 9016 everytime you get a new voicemail but using the spam block settings in you messaging app will hide/block them
I like to break stuff!
I have tried that numerous times. All I get is a bunch of 9016 messages but no voicemail ever comes through.

Unfortunately it doesn't work properly on every rom, because if 9016 texts get blocked to the phone completely, then vvm never receives the message, vvm has to receive these messages in order to function. The rom I'm running has a blacklist option that allows me to block 9016 from messaging app only, keeping 9016 coming through to phone, which vvm then picks up perfectly. Their are apps to do this, but some block it totally, which is not what you want.
