Can I get out of a "group message"? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My brother-in-law sent me a "funny picture", along with about 10 other people. Since it was a MMS, it's was sent as a group MMS, so now every time someone replies to it, I get the reply too... Now they're making dinner and weekend plans and just talking back and forth by replying and it's been going on for about 2 hours.
How can I stop it? Or do I just have to wait for it to "die out"?

I dont think you can but I would like to know as well. I'm no expert but I know enough that if there was an option out I would have found it. So far no luck.
(now someone please prove my no expertness comment) :fingers-crossed:

Is there an app for filtering text/calls from specific numbers?

First, if I see another "use the search" reply I'm gonna flip out...unless it's sarcasm because of me typing that. I have searched...and search, and searched, and searched. Not just on xda either.
All I want to know, is if there is an app, free, not free - WHATEVER - that can be set to delete/reject texts and call from a phone number you enter into the program. I'm sure someone would suggest it, but changing my phone number isn't an option...so after about 150 texts from the most obnoxious, stuck up, self centered.....yeah.....in the world, I need a way to keep their texts (and calls, but especially texts) from coming through.
And please don't say it isn't possible, because it is. My old Samsung had exactly that feature and it wasn't HALF the phone the Rhodium is.
So please, if anyone knows of one, please tell me and accept my apologies if my post seems rather blunt... It's been a stressful day and I don't sugar coat what I say when I'm frustrated.

use the search button!!!! jk, look for pocket bouncer.it lets you put in numbers to block im pretty sure.
Lol, thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it out after I get back from my run.
-edit- looks like Pocket Call Bouncer is only for calls. Is there one for texts? Even if it lets it through and deletes immediately it I'd be happy.

just call your service provider and have them do it.prolly the easiest way.
Just called them, didn't realize they could do that (Sprint couldn't when I worked for them). They want to charge me $5 a month to do it... I'm already paying too much for AT&T's lousy service that works less than half the time. Guess I'll just keep searching and pay their monthly fee as a last resort.
Thanks bud.

i just told them i wasnt gonna pay that and if they wanted to lose 3 customers over 5 bucks a month be my guest. they cracked. i pay them nothing{not to mention got a new phone for free!!}
I'll try that when I call them tomorrow... Been a frustrating day.
i used kaspersky mobile security about a month ago, they have a 30 day free trial. im not sure if it will block phone calls, but it has a black and white list for text messages. it got kind of annoying to accept the first text from each different person, but maybe there was a way to add your phone book, or only worry about the black list page. had lots of extra features too you might find interesting. let me know what you think and post back for other people who have the same question!!
Use the following cab, its blocks both calls n text
Thanks for those two replies. Got some testing to do now. Thanks again!

To all developers: I need a Text Message Reply Algorithm.

Can someone come up with a Text Message Algorithm, so that when my GF sends me one of those sappy, "Oh, I miss you so much!" or "My life would suck without you" that it will do an Auto search for the appropriate romantic reply and then send the reply per text message/email?
I get about 30 of those per day, and they are quite annoying. I want to respond something different, but I've learned you never tell a girl she is fat, even if she is fat!

Tell her that having sex with her is like watching the same movie over and over (preferably Ground Hog's Day). You'll stop getting them....
Omfg, too funny.
I think handcent will let you make a list of canned responses. Not exactly what you asked for but it might be a little easier

ROFL!! I think you should just let her know that even though you are her hobby, that your hobby is your phone.
You gotta be kidding me... If she's sending you 30 pointless messages a day then just don't reply because it sounds like someone's already a little coocoo for her cocopuff (ie the OP).
Or use handcent as was suggested previously.
Or better yet, use the SMS spammer and just spam I love you to her in 10 second intervals 24 hours a day. Give her a taste of her own medicine.

Tell her she texts like an 18 year old girl, Why doesn't she _____ like one. You can fill in the blank.
I'm pretty sure you won't be getting any more messages after that one either.

Ding Ding Ding. We have a winner. I like this one the best.
Now.... where was the spamming program?

Need some help

ok I'll prolly get flamed beyond words for this but here goes.
My girl and I just split up. It sucks because I really loved the girl, and now I dont have the self control to not text her. we just split a couple days ago and I promise myself I wont text her again and of course I always do.
Is there any program that will silently block me from sending a text message to a specific number, I know I can block her incoming text, just want to stop myself and I dont seem to have the self control. Pathetic, I know, but it is what it is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Wow, you and I are going through very similar things.
Don't know about any app that does what you're looking for though. Sorry.
Sprint can do this on their end.
Text block ########## to 9999 and it'll block the number.
(To see the full rundown, clicky click.)
Hang in there man. We have all been there. You will find it actually gets a little bit better everyday if you don't try to contact her. Also, try to keep yourself busy. If you stay busy, you wont think about it as much

Been in your shoes many a time. Here's a little something i have learned in my years on this planet.
The more you text/call her the more she is likely to keep acting the way she is. Let it go, by doing the calling and texting she knows she has you wrapped. Ignore her, let her be the one wondering about you! She will come around, if not you didn't need her anyway...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Man up and put on your big boy pants.
Have some self control. If it is that serious for you that you just can't stop calling her than send your phone to one of the devs here so it can be used for some good rather than the garbage you seem to be using it for ... Word of advice..whenever you find yourself veung pathetic ask yourself how your grandfather would handle it...then do that instead...

I got mine a 2 weeks ago. Have not really played it much since you try to take over landmarks. Usually when i am walking i am at the river, which yields NOTHING AT ALL! Next time im out, i will fire it up and check what its at like not around the river.
It was rather boring... I do remember that
I download the app and it even got an update but I still have yet to get my invite. I even asked for an invite yet again. Still waiting.

i have mine for 2 days and already conquer a portal
Got invite yesterday
You can participate before you get the invite. Get the app and share pictures of landmarks to ingress. This will give Niantic ideas for new portals and a gold mine of data to Google. It is said that you get an invite faster if you do. I did not and it took me almost a month to get an invite. Have not gone out looking for portals just yet only looked into the ones to and from work. Could be very interesting if the information was viewable through Google Goggles or even project glass. I shudder a little bit to see one company getting that much information but at least it is Google. I am interested to see the outcome.

Cannot receive text messages from iPhone users using iMessage.

First thing you need to know is that I've never owned an Apple device. I've been having this issue ever since Apple upgraded to iOS 6 & 7. My girlfriend and some of my friends are iPhone users, and sometimes they send me messages but I receive them late or even never receive them at all. Sometimes I get their text that got mixed with a text that they sent sometime before (even from convos that are days or weeks old) in the SAME message (WTF?). I event get spammed by the same message 5+ times, example http://i.imgur.com/ij8GtPu.jpg which is annoying and ridiculous!
Ive searched the web and did not find a single solution, only thousands of people complaining with no fix. The only solution to this is to use another chat app with the other person, which is really hard to convince someone to do that. Especially Apple fanboys and fangirls like my GF. I suggested Whatsapp or Hangouts and even suggested her to disable iMessage (there's a feature that lets you disable the iMessage feature so the iMessage app only sends SMS to the users) which my GF denied also. -_-
TLDR: I don't get texts and people wait for me to respond and think that I'm ignoring them or I get spammed. How to fix pls?
Edit #1: I've never been an Apple user so "disconnecting" my number from iMessage by sending a "STOP" text to 48369 probably wont help. BUT I did try it today and we'll see if that works lol...
Edit #2: Oh the irony... http://i.imgur.com/7gmUN54.png
Edit #3: My phone is stock. Never did any modding.
IMO, not much can be done on Android side but I remember reading a great article about this issue.

I would maybe call Apple support. Even though you don't have an apple device it seems their system thinks that your number is register for imessage.
