Call log

Is there any way to remove messages from the call log? I want to able to see sent/received/missed calls without having to scroll through all the texts I've sent that day. None of my previous phones have ever included messages in the call log. It's a bloody nuisance

I believe that's an Android thing. You could always use a custom Dialer and call log app... search the market.

go to logs, press the touchkey in the left and under view by option select ur preferable option..

also, give callLog+ from the market a whirl.

Thanks guys. Can't find callLog+ in the market. Can anyone recommend something similar?

Contact names not showing up in messaging app.

Whenever I get a message from someone, all I get is their number. I realized it was only happening with my facebook synced contacts. I believe its because the facebook contact number has dashes (555-555-5555) and when I receive a text, it doesn't (5555555555). Is there a quick way to fix this? Or do I have to add every number and join it to that persons contact?

What message app are you using?

Sorry that I couldn't get back until now, but I'm using go SMS. But it does it in any messaging app. I tried checking the stock SMS app, and the same thing happened.

It is due to the way the numbers are saved. You will have to link them and make sure they are set up the same way as the ones that work.

If you're using google sync too you might want to go to your contacts and edit your google contact details cuz I think the contact list uses google details over facebook ones

9016

What's the best app for stopping the 9016 sms?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

you can use Redlist to block them if you add them to redlist and blacklist.

try calling sprint or whoever your carrier is and they should be able to stop it.

Pretty much every sms app allows blacklisting but the stock one, try chomp, go, handcent.

I got it, you have to disable 'Notifications' in the stock messaging app.

Well, now I don't get notified of my text messages duh

Have handcent and red list but they keep appearing in the notification bar

I haven't used vvm for a while, but I used redlist and it worked. It just sucked because the notification icon is black so it's hard to see against a dark status bar.
You have to turn off all sms app notifications and turn on notifications in redlist.

You can also text "block 9016", without qutoes to 9999.

Do not block 9016 through Sprint, as you will stop receiving voicemails.

Handcent's blacklist didn't work for me to block 9016, but Go SMS Pro worked.
*some* newer ROMs give the stock messaging app the option to block 9016, like this one. Blocking it from within the stock messaging app, even if it's not the one you use for day to day use, should block it for any and all SMS applications.
jaybob got the code to block 9016 from kushdeck and evervolv, so I'm hopeful there's a way to simply patch the messaging app without requiring a new ROM. At the same time, we're getting swarmed with a lot of quality ROMs these days so people shouldn't' be afraid to try one (or more) out. Life is good for Hero owners. We are spoiled thanks to some great developers.

I am using Google voice and did that and still getting voicemails through sprint. Just don't get multiple notifications.

i finally got SVVM to work on my hero running cm7 (7.0.3), just lastnight, & i use "super private conversation" to block the 9016 text messages, i tried redlist, but still got a notification.
edit: not really sure how i got VVM working, it took several hrs, trying several different ways.
i went back to my stock 2.1 rooted rom, updated the VVM, & used TI backup to backup the VVM, & kinda followed the directions on the aospcmod repo page, method 2, & even used the TI VVM backup off that page, along with the stuff on cyanogens forum, & from www.thetechtemple.com

Thanks. I put Redlist on and didnt seem to do squat. But I didnt change these settings.

I had this same issue with both my hero and evo. I found a fix for it on another site:
"To fix this, go into Handcent, press menu, settings, application settings, default messaging applications and then check "disable". Then go to your VVM application, hit menu, compose and enter your own number as the send to, hit record for 4 or 5 seconds, then hit send. The VVM app will then download any messages you had waiting."

yes it will. there are alot of settings to choose from. you can send to voice mail, have it just hang up on any number you put in. you can block all numbers starting with certain prefix or ad any number you want from you contacts or resent calls or just put a number in that you wantto block. you can get a notification that a number has been blocked or not. you can also have it send a text to a number after its been blocked or do nothing. the black list is nice to, you can even block numbers from texting you to. there are alot of options to choose from.

Z1s and Google voice

Are you sure that you entered your google voice number properly in the forwarding options? I had trouble for the first few hours, but called T-mobile and they checked the forwarding settings... now it works properly.
In the call log, you will see only a missed call. The message itself will only show up in your gmail list, and the browser version of google voice... I think.? There is also a stand-alone .apk app for gVoice, available in the play store]

I am sure ebbed it right as it works just fine for calls. But in a 4.1 I believe they added the option to have your vm show up in the call log to listen to only. This worked fine on my n4. And the option is selected in the stand alone app.

I'm having some strange issues with GV on my Z1S. Just switched to T-Mobile last week and immediately made GV my voicemail. I removed my number from the website and re-added it, went through the prompts, and got the forwarding working. Now, I have 2 strange issues:
1. All the time the phantom voicemail icon will appear on my phone. I force quit "phone" (the app) and it goes away, but it'll show up sometime tomorrow or when I reboot my phone or something.
2. The GV voicemail seems to work intermittently (may have some effect on #1). Meaning, someone will call me and tell me they left a message, but the message is no where to be found. My theory is the forwarding didn't kick in, the message went to T-Mobile voicemail, and the phantom icon appeared. However, I can't yet confirm that.
Anyone dealing with either of these issues?
Is there a way to check my T-Mo voicemail after I've set everything up with google voice?
Thanks.

Same issues am having. For number 1 i am going to try and reset my number from the website.
For number 2 I just disabled the option to see vm in the call log.
The Phantom vm is tmobile picking up and then GV taking over so essentially a vm on each. It's annoying
