Blocking calls on new jb - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hey guys,
You know I don't ask if I don't need help.
It's not internet related I promise.
Finally got the girl I want and I'm getting hammered on my cells.
Where is the option to block on new jb?
Do I need to flash backwards in time or buy an app?

There are call blockers with blacklisting, like Call Control. I used it on my BlackBerry and it was great. There is an Android version. There are a slew of call blocking apps on the market, not sure which one is best.

Contacts, long press, add to reject list?

I really appreciate it

up need your suggestion
I'm taking a wild guess here, but I think that if you are creative enough to hide some important things from certain people, I'm sure you will find a way for this as well.
stop cheating on your mum
try my calculator its uses calculator as a decoy for hidden sms

get a second phone and don't tell your girl about it

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.
Epic-ly tapped from my Galaxy SII
What's the name of the text bombing app lol?

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

Texting

Is there a way to receive texts and respond to them on my N7 without using a new number? I think there may be some way to do it with Google Voice, but I'm not entirely sure. Help would be greatly appreciated, I don't like this new number thing.
Why don't you try tablet talk it pairs right up with your cell phone via Bluetooth or wifi. The best part is that you don't have to get a new number either.

Google Voice works fine (as long as you have a GV number).
I'll check out tablet talk.
I could use Google Voice, but I don't want to have to give my Google Voice number out to everyone instead of the number everyone already has.
Thanks guys, I'll post back once I've tried this stuff.
EDIT: Tablet talk is great. Everyone that wants to text/call from their tablet should get this (granted that they don't use GV already).
Is there any free app that does what Tablet Talk does?

Try mighty text. I've been using it on my phone with my laptop. It's free, and you don't have to connect to WiFi or bluetooth

theres also DeskSMS from Koush that sends your texts to Google Talk. Doesnt use the extra battery that bluetooth would use

I probably will but I'm trying to save as much as I can for stuff that I can't otherwise get for free.
Tablet talk is amazing
SyncSMS has been my choice for the last year or so, but i'm trying DeskSMS out.
You can also use the Facebook messenger app or Google+ messenger. Works just like texting.

DeskSMS is good, but don't like having an extra app open to look at my SMS...works well on my laptops, easy to use etc
MySMS was hit or miss, UI is laggy and sometimes SMS wouldn't sync right away.
SyncSMS worked well when I tried the beta, but I didn't get around to purchasing the full version since I didn't use it a lot.
Going to check out TabletTalk later today, since I have been using my I/O N7 a lot lately

You simply cannot go wrong with Tablet Talk, it is the go-to app for everyone looking for that "text/talk from tablet" functionality.
going with tablet talk myself. its been amazing so far!

Send contact info from within SMS

Is anyone else annoyed that you can't send a contact from the stock SMS app? I love the standard SMS but yet have to have a third party SMS app installed just for this purpose. From the stock SMS you can attach a few things but not a contact. And even from the phone app you can send but through email...not SMS.
Nothing major...just felt like griping about something I guess.
On a side note android keeps getting better and better. I don't see myself even going back to a non nexus phone!

I totally agree it's silly this is not factory android option. I can tell this is a general complaint and you weren't really looking for an app, but check this out:
share contracts via sms
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=shareContacts.NS.com
it's not really an "app" it just adds the menu option to share contracts thru messaging app. you still use stock messaging. I have used this since froyo days. it's super lightweight, you'll hardly notice it's even there...

Yup, I've been shocked time and time again that it hasn't already been added since I first started using Android with Froyo.
Which is weird if you've been using dumbphones for the last 15 years I think most of them could do this.

Messaging

Hi everyone! I am currently looking for a massaging app that is Internet based. I have it narrowed down to three. Whatsapp, Hangouts, and BBM. I would like everyone's opinion on those and which is the better choice. Thanks in advance!
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Having not used any of those apps, I can't really offer any opinions of them. Personally, I think the best way to go is Google Voice with CM Team's Voice+, that way everything is handled through the stock messaging app. Ultimately though, it just comes down to personal preference. Use each one you're considering for a day, then decide which most suits your needs.

Good advice, I'll do that. Thanks!
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
I just started using hangouts and I love it!
Sent from my LG-LS970
really just depends on what the other people in your life use. I personally just SMS and use hangouts because most the people I know are on google accounts. ive heard whatsapp is awesome just nobody else I know uses it so its pointless for me. its like trying to get people to use Google+ instead of Facebook, cant get anyone to switch
