I searched and didn't find an answer specific to the gs3 and jellybean. Other than using an app, is there a way to permanently block a specific number? I'm on Tmobile and currently using Domination.
Nop

Call or text? Under phone app, press and hold the number you wish to block and on pop up menu select "add to reject list" or something along those lines. For txt messages just select number as spam and voila.

Thanks, I'll try that.
I believe if you contact your carrier they can do that too. On their end I've heard Verizon can do it I don't see why tmo or others can't

I want to send a text with an nfc tag. The Samsung app filled out the the message and who it's going to, but doesn't send.
An app called NFC task launcher states that with their sms plugin, that it will send the text. I get it to open a text with the fields filled out like with the Samsung app, but still won't send. I'm using the uri task, but does same thing. I just can't figure it out, anyone else have any luck it?

Ha, just saw quotation in title instead of question.
You do have NFC checked off in settings right?
Yea, that's how it reads the tags and opens up the message. I just want it to auto-send. I can't figure it out.

What about the NFC call plugin did you down load it?
I did. I have all plugins.

Tried today, works fine. Open NFC task launcher, tap New task, + Add action, phone, Send a text message. Fill in the number, remove the "send a text" in the box and add your text, click OK then at the top right click next then tap the tag to the phone to write the tag. Make sure the tag doesnt have anything else on it. Tap tag, sends text
Got it working, thank you.
There was an update in the market today for the sms plugin. Mine must have been bad. The update also puts the message in your sent message, so you can make sure it went.

I have VVM installed. I don't know if it is the right version so if some could point me to the most recent version for GN2 that would be awesome. Anyways... How do I stop the actual text messages from appearing.
Note: I'm on CM10.1

I dont use VVM anymore, but when I did the only way that I found to fix it was to activate another phone on your line, then reactivate your phone on your account. I dont know why it worked, but it did.
Does anyone else have issues writing text that are longer than one sms long? If so, is there a fix. This app has had the same issues on each update.
Another problem is when I go to compose a new text and I am typing the person's name in the contacts box it won't show the phone number I am trying to send a message to. It happens when I text my wife. I will type her name and it will show every other phone number she has but her cell phone. Can't seem to figure it out. I went into the contacts app and set her cell as the preferred number and that didn't fix it. I don't think that issue can easily be recreated.
So those are the two issues. Also, are those issues on the custom roms? I would imagine they are at no fault to the devs.

I am a noob but wanted to try and duplicate your issues on my phone.
I am flashed stock ZVB. I use GOSMS but tested the stock messaging app for your questions. I sent 2 text messages that were over the character limit. One sent correctly (1 of 2 and 2 of 2) the other only sent the second half of the second message (2/2).
I did not notice any issues with contact names.
Hope this helps.

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

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.
