Is there a blacklist app that can work low level on blocking calls and sms?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Blacklist is ok, if your rooted root call blocker is great

The problem with blacklist is that it does not erase the call log. Do you think this problem will be solved if my phone is rooted?
Thanks

Yea blacklist is "ok" root call blocker i believe has a setting to not log calls or sms. And blacklist usually rings like half a ring last time i used it, but it been a while. If your rooted go with root call blocker, the free one works great

Root call blocker is the best and it erases logs
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium HD app
avast antivirus has one built in
I'm using Call Guard. It has black and white list + option to delete call log and can also block SMS.
However it cannot erase the call log even if i set it.

u can try private SMS or shady SMS. Both blocks SMS n calls. N move them out from the normal SMS n call Logs.

Just root your device, install RootCallBlocker and search no further...

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.
Can anyone recommend a call filter app that limits incoming and outgoing calls and texts to only phone contacts? Thanks
Extreme call blocker. Paid App but is great. My phone number was who knows who's number and everybody was calling me asking for other person. Can block Calls SMS MMS.

If your rooted & willing to pay, these apps are 2 very good options:

Root Call Blocker

Dose anyone know an app that will steal-prof my HOX ? I was using HTCSense.com with Desire HD but now it's not available anymore . I was thinking about something like send a SMS with a specific password the will lock the phone , display my contact info , turn GPS and Mobile Network/WiFi ON and delete my important data like contacts , photos , SMS , Accounts and the rest !
Avast Mobile allows you to do most of those sort of things by SMS
I use the paid version of Kaspersky. Apart from the anti-stealing features, it has excellent call blocking features. Of course, anti-virus is present.

I'm currently using Cerberus, I'm sure it does all you want.

The app "where is my droid" does it aswell, including notification of a simcard change on theft

Avast free version do all things . Lock phone through sms , it will send sms and location on sim change.

Cerburus does alot of things like take pictures using the front facing camera, when the person who may have stole the phone trys to unlock it! Has huge list of features

Cerberus +1
One more vote for cerberus. I lost my hox in a cab and found it 40minutes after.
About call blocker, i think sense has this by default, or it is a feature of ARHD, because i see that option in mine.
Another vote for Cerberus, couldn't recommend it enough!
It's very well priced and it can work with multiple devices.
Assuming the phone is reset to factory defaults before changing sim etc...it can't be tracked?

If someone what's to steal your phone they will. No app will make it steal proof. Why don't you just encrypt it if your worried about the data.

Install Cerberus as a system app. Only way they can stop it being tracked is a full wipe and flashing a new rom. Are phone thieves that smart/knowledgeable?
technically you cant "steal proof" a phone, only track it down after its been stolen...
Just seen this thread and downloaded Cerberus straight away. What an amazing app. So many features all remotely accessed via your PC or SMS. Also love the fact that you can designate up to 3 trusted numbers (friends or family) to have messages sent to in the event of a SIM swap, and those numbers can also lock you device for you. £2.40 is nothing to pay for that amount of funcionality!
Any known way to block sms txts natively from this device or an app that return messages the sender letting them know there SMS has been blocked or they're message didnt go through to you .
Something that Not just lets them send it
But shows some proof to them the mesages they text are being blocked that theyre sending ?

On the messaging app (stock app) if you go to setting and scroll all the way down there is a "spam" setting, you put in the number you don't want showing up and bam! Works fine for me
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Mr.Number does that and calls too, free from PlayStore.
Nothing better than root call blocker pro imho. Been using forever, never an issue across 4 phones. Pay for it and support the dev you will not be disappointed.

I'm getting a ton of spam text messages sent to my phone. I strictly use Google Voice for messaging and these are being sent to my actual phone number, so without a text message plan I'm being charged for each one of them. Is there a way to stop all of these spam texts?
Call verizon and ask for a text block.

Do not text STOP... they will then know that your number is a legit cell. Just call Verizon, get a credit back for the unwanted texts and get a block.

One of the companies I consult for will take the "Stop" text and add it as a valid mobile number. Your number will then get sold to a marketing company as a premium number. Just ignore it and block.
My bad did not know you were a consultant. Please take Sebastionravens advice

wife's device just started getting crazy amount of sms ads. We both use extreme call blocker and it can block sms as well. Not sure if you get charged for sms since we have the unlimited text plan. Never felt that google voice was stable enough for kids.
