I am being terrorized by my provider who sends me 200 times a day the same sms and isn't able to stop that.
Is there any app or function to block unwanted sms?
If not, I'd pay 10 $ for anyone who can make a little app for me, in which i just enter a phonenumber, hit enter and never will notice anything of an sms coming from that sender...
thanks for your help!
Who is your provider? And they're telling you they can't stop their OWN messages from being sent to you?
it's a small german one and yes, they told me, they couldn't do anything to help me...
you should reply with sms barrage if you still have it. thats my answer to everything.
No i don't have that app and actually i also can't get the point, why i should sent spam to my provider...that is a mashine, no one will even notify me.
It was a joke...
Well... may anybody help me?

...id of done it lol
There is no app out there to block sms. If its from your provider and they say they won't stop it I would switch providers.
and i dont know if there ever will be, and if there is youll need root i bet
the reason i believe this (could be wrong) is that youd have to set all notifications off, and use a app to set notifications, and have it set to if a sms came in from a blacklisted number set by you, then it would not notify you, and then delete it. so in a sence youd still get it, but youd never know
thats the only way i think it would work properly, doesnt sound tooo difficult, but i dont know if there is really a demand for it, if your willing to pay 10 dollars to have it made, talk to androidandme.com, they have bountys for developers to make programs that are requested from users, the current bounty is for a full working quake port to android, they have over $200 going to the developer that makes it first, if they decided to set a bounty for it, and there are others who would like this program, than im sure you could gain some interest there
good luck man
Please try this below and report whether it is working or not as I don't own a android phone
I am still thinking about buying a HTC Dream if blocking of SMS work.
and btw this app is NOT writen by me.

block unwanted SMS
This utility seems pretty neat. I haven't tried it personally, since I'm not interested in a $20 app to do this:
EasyHelper SMS Security 2.2
handheld.softpedia DOT com/developer/EasyHelper-3934.html
"SMS Security can effectively filter all your incoming SMS messages without producing any sound or light indication. It can also hide and encrypt the secret SMS messages."
This would be helpful for those annoying friends who text in the middle of the night, or send useless junk. Also, the security feature sounds helpful for anybody who has something to hide.
Would you like to have a try aFirewall in market? It can block SMS prefectly. I am looking forward to your response. Any comments will be appreciated. Thank you very much.
You can blacklist people with the application chompSMS.

Block Outgoing SMS for android
I'm trying to find an app that will block outgoing SMS to a particular number. I've thought about trying to develop one myself but just reading how to is too complicated for me.
The way i see it the app could run a "if, then" style app. if the restricted number is detected then the app would disable the signal for a period of time (15s or 30s) and automatically delete the message. I'd like to make it password protected.
The reason i want to do this is because I text a few contacts on my phone way too often and would like to disable how often i do so. I've memorized the number so deleting the contact is not an option.

Postman is an Anti Spam application that lets you filter unwanted SPAM SMS.The application filters SMS and makes sure they don't appear in your inbox.
You can also configure the software to block messages from unknown senders or even create a trusted senders list.

I browsed few such apps but couldn't find answer to my question, which is - do these apps just prevent the spam/unwanted sms from appearing in the inbox; but I still have to pay for the text msg? Or do they save me the pain of paying for text I don't want to receive?
Hi,
Is there a way I can get the email icon on the Touchflo 3D bar to only show me the number of new emails since I last looked at my inbox? Currently by default it shows the number of unread emails I have, which is very high since I don't delete or look at emails that are junk (so it always says "99+" over my email icon).
I couldn't find a place to change this. Is there? How about in the registry?
Thanks!

Yes, you can all laugh at me...
I seem to have installed an sms app, which gives me a pop up window, when a new sms arrives.
I have disabled notify in stock messaging app and in chompsms. Handcent is activated but this gives me another pop up.
The unwelcome sms pop up is a grey square with white outline. It has 3 white buttons at the bottom with "Auto response with busy message", "Reply" and "Dismiss". It shows the message and the sender with a small picture above the buttons.
Please help me to identify the app, I want to uninstall it.
i may be wrong, but i think SMS morse does this as one of its options, try checking for that
thanks, but i never installed this one. It has to be something I installed, maybe backed up and now it stays as a residue, I can't see in the installed apps.
You may have SMS Popup installed, this what I have and it works the way you have described it
It is Contact Blast
I'm fairly certain it's the sms popup as said above. It's a feature in handcent. Go to options in Handcent and disable the popup.
Lately whenever I bring up an email with pictures the "show pictures" link is always greyed out. Also greyed out in the HTC ONe native email app. This was working earlier but I must have done something to disable it. Can't find what I've done though. Anyone have any ideas?
_____
Found a workaround for anyone else having this problem.
Bring up the email with the greyed out link
Click on the address field at the top (To
Then click on the Show Pictures and it will show the pictures
Click Always show and the pictures should now always show from this address
Don't know why this works but it does.
Does anyone know if it's possible to get the name of the sender to appear in the notification pop up instead of just the word message or what's app or Snapchat. I've gone through the settings and only managed to get what's app to appear but only and instant reply with the message as well. Any help would be much appreciated.
Go into face unlock settings in security. Turn off smart lock. That should help.
Thanks
Hi thanks that has see ed to have sorted the issue. But is there a way of not having the actual message show just the name of the sender??
