Okay I assume you were using voice. Go to you reg settings>voice input output> recognition settings>uncheck offensive words

Not sure which version you're running but handcent 3.2.9 doesn't edit out curse words.It might not recognize one the first time its used,just make sure you choose it from the selected matches and it will remember it for the next time.

I just cursed up a storm to myself using handcent and they all came in uncensored and I checked all the settings. Honestly can't find why.

TEXT signature

Is it just me or any one else too. Seem like there is not feature to input my signature on texting. When I tap Menu/setting there is nothing for signature. Any idea?
Using the stock text messaging app there is no option for a sig...try searching for apps in the market,you might find a third party app with a option for a sig....I use the stock app,so I can not recommend a good third party messaging app.

Does anyone have a good app to block unknown numbers like the cyanogenmod blacklist app? Thanks.

Always worked well for me. Make sure you allow texts from the Sprint voicemail device though, or you wont ever get your voicemail notifications!

if i know the digits, ill add them to my block lists via my account at sprint.com.
I use super private conversation. I'm running CM7 and I downloaded it to block the phantom texts you get when you get a voicemail but it also has an option to block private numbers

This is what I switched to for CM7, it works great whereas some apps I've used in the past (CallFilter, GBlocker) don't anymore.

yeah that happened to me, haha, at first i thought it was a bug on Mr. number but it was just i denied texts from sprint voicemail. but all is good now =)
I use the blacklist included in CM6/CM7. MIUI also has a blacklist (firewall IIRC) that can block incoming numbers from ever ringing. Not sure if it covers text messages, but the Spanish bill collectors I get calling me daily (I've had this number for 2 years now) don't text message me.

adds?

Did this come from an App ?
Someone just texted you, either randomly or you gave them your number. Keep in mind many apps can see your phone number, like the Facebook app for example. The Facebook app in some cases actually lets your friends facebook apps, not Android apps but Facebook apps through the Android app, see your number.
Just ignore it. On other carriers I would recommend blocking the number but it really doesn't matter since you have unlimited texting on sprint. You can block numbers easily on sprint and on google voice though, so if it is bothering you just block the number on sprints website or on the google voice site, depending on which you use.

Be sure to add them to your block list as well.
So if I login to sprint I can set call filters?
That Google voice should I set it up?
I thought I didn't need it?
Got a text like this too... Maybe 2 a month. Just found out sprint charged me for one international text. Must be an app causing this. Either way I suggest saving it if you ever receive another, in case sprint wants to charge. Or just bomb the number.

What's the name of the text bombing app lol?

I don't recommend bombing the internatioal one.. That could be kinda spendy.

Are use google voice with full integration and don't have any issues with the texting portion. Can you post a screenshot to show what you're talking about, maybe I am just being stupid but I can't seem to visualize what you're talking about

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I have the same annoying problem..I read that if you call and leave a message on that voicemail it will go away if you delete the message you just left. My problem is that I use Google Voice for my voicemail. I cant figure out how to stop using GV! Even if i uninstall the app , it leaves the message in my google mail box. I have looked for answers but nothing...Unbelievable ! Good luck, I hope you dont have google voice.....

check your vm provider in call settings. also, if you enabled google voicemail on your number, it probably needs to be disabled in your voice account.
