On my unlocked Dash I get a text message everytime I get a voice mail, does anyone know how to turn this off? I get about 20 VM's per day so you can see how this would bother me.. I hate getting a Text Message for every Voice Mail.
Please Help or I may end up switching back to my Blackberry which I don't want to do..
Thanks

Thats more of the telco problem, not the phones.
I never had this problem before when I was using my blackberry? Only since I switched phones to my unlocked Dash do I get the text message for voice mail.

It's something related to your carrier, not the phone. The phone isn't sending itself a text message. Maybe the Blackberry receives a SMS notification of voicemail that is handled differently, and your Dash is receiving it as a text message... Have you signed up for Blackberry service with your carrier? Have you updated your account to non-Blackberry service? Who's your carrier? Have you contacted them at all about this?
I am using Rogers in Canada. I have a blackberry account as I am using BB Connect since my company won't allow us to connect to the exchange server directly.
I have talked to Rogers and they said it have to be the phone. We I get a VM, i get the little VM message at the top of my home screen so that is working it is just the darn text message that bothers me..
just double check.. is it a text mesage that goes into your Inbox, or just a notification bubble?
Anyway, if it is a text, a quick and dirty way to solve is temp is to have a SMS blocker in place, to filter out these messages.
Hey cool so is that is piece of software SMS Blocker? if it works like email filtering that would work.. Where can I find a SMS Blocker or is a function of the phone?
Thanks great idea!!
The reason you get a text everytime you get a new voicemail is because your "unlocked" phone does not support the the MWI ( message waiting indicator) that your mobile provider uses. I have T-mobile and they use the reel to reel icon that pops up on the top of the screen when you get a new voicemail. If you have an unlocked phone it may not support the icon your providers phones use.
I've had numerous phones with this company(by choice). I am currently using an unlocked phone that was configured for another carrier's network, some of the features do not work the same, including the Message Waiting Indicator. The goods new is you can probably stop this by having your mobile company take the Message Waiting Indicator off all together. But the Bad news is, then of course you will not be notified when you get a new voicemail.
It's a feature of the Rogers network. I have it on my account too. Still debating whether I like it or not though. I think it's part of the "WhoCalled" feature they have, but I'm not sure. It's definitely part of your Rogers service plan though.
Temp Fix for Rogers network SMS after VM
Hi, I had the same problem. It was really getting to me. Now using phone guard 1.09
Works well.
After download, DONT fill in the country code, or area code screen, just leave blank.(or you will not recieve calls, they will be send to vm, ????not sure why)
On the block screen, fill in ( [email protected] ) {for rogers} in the tel sms #, Name it what ever you want.
No more text after vm.
Later
p.s. the program runs in the back ground. Uses the least mem though.
I just purchased the Moto 360 and upgraded to the latest 4.4W.2 software update. According to the Android Wear help forum when I receive a text message notification (my text messages come through Google Hangouts using my Google Voice number), in addition to the text just received, I should be able to view the last 20 messages with that person by swiping right to left. I am unable to do this. When I swipe LEFT (not right, as this dismisses the notification), I can see older messages I had with that person, but random ones, with messages missing in between (and also not 20, only a few). Furthermore, if I get multiple text messages from the same person, I can only view the last one sent by that person as any previous notification card is automatically dismissed!
Also, another issue I have is when I get missed call notifications, if I have more than one missed call, I cannot see who the missed calls are from! Only when I have one missed call notification can I see who the caller was. Is this also a bug, or is this just the feature that is available currently for Android Wear with Moto 360?
I am paired to a Samsung Galaxy S4 I337 (AT&T) that has been unlocked and then manually upgraded to Android 4.3.
I'm just wondering if others have these issues, and/or if this is solved with a software upgrade, or if my watch is somehow defective where I should take it back to Best Buy.
Thanks ahead of time for any help/advice.

I just picked up the Verizon G Pad 8.3 4G LTE for the $19.99 deal and it was added on as a separate line (so really $260.00) with it's own phone number. I figured since it had it's own number, I would be able to send and receive texts on it, using that number - apparently not ?
I tried sending a text to that number, but the tablet never gets it, so I am taking for granted it isn't standalone text capable ? Figured it would be since it had it's own phone number
Sorry if it is a stupid question
Cant use it on it's own number.....but you can make calls on it with hangouts...just download the dialer..it also does texts. Verizons message + app will also send text.
I'm old and easily confused I guess. It can't use it's own number, but then you say with Verizon Messages it will text ? I'm guessing it will only text using the G3 phone number it is paired with and not it's own number then as I was using Verizon Messages ?
Sorry , I can be a bit dim at times

Yes don with the g3 number...the number associated with the tablet is just for billing purposes. Still useful to be able to text with the tablet though.
There isnt a sms messenger app available. Maybe try installing a 3rd party app?
You should still be ablr to usr the verizon wireless app to text (like amy other vdrizon phone)
When you do sync your tablet with phone to text on tablet every text you sent saved deleted is going to sync up on tablet its a pain in the ass lol
mighty text let's you send from tab through phone. also receive, both assuming your phone is on and had signal. also a Web instead from your computer. been using it for a long time

We have two moto 360s. On one of them it seems to be impossible to actually read received text messages if you receive more than one text from the same person.
Instead of displaying the text of the messages, the notification on the watch will just say the sender's name and "2 text messages received" with no apparent way to view the messages. If you catch the notification when only one text has been received, you can read the single text just fine.
On the other moto 360, it just displays all of the received texts, and doesn't summarize them with a count. That is, you can just keep scrolling down and can read all of the texts in a big list.
The watch having the problem is running 5.01 android wear connected to a Note 4 with android 4.4.4.
The watch that lets you actually read the text messages is running 4.4W.2 android wear and is connected to a Note 3 with android 4.4.2.
Anyone have any ideas? Is this something that just works better on the older software? Not being able to actually read the text messages on the moto 360 breaks one of the major functions of the device!

If you use googles messenger (not messaging, its the new one made for lollipop but works on 4.4) then one of the tabs is a full conversation list.
If you need the app I can provide you with links and/or instructions

Had all versions of Galaxy in my life and was using default Messages application's feature that blocks SMS if it's text contains words that are blacklisted. In my old S8 phone, I had this option and really loved it. In S9, they removed this feature. But I heard some regions have this feature. So if anyone knows, how to enable this, please help. Don't need to install 3rd party app for this... Just need to enable "Block phrases" option. Photos are included of my old S8 and new S9.

My CSC is SER. Also tried to change CSC with secret code but menu is not showing up. (Needs factory reset to show up, as I know)
Can someone confirm this func on different CSC? If yes, I will probably flash firmware or factory reset if it will work.
Yes, in the Galaxy S9 models, the Messages App is 5.0+ version.
In the Galaxy S8 models, the Messages App is 4.4 version and contains block phrases feature.
I don't understand this changes, removing good features from basic apps like messages.
Now we need to install another messages app.
very bad update .it is really strange to remove good feature like block phrases in SMS app
+1 here too.
This is needed to keep promotional messages silenced!
I am in the UK with BTU CSC, i dont have the 'block phrases' option in the message settings, i am on ver 5.0.11.8, latest i believe.
Bring back spam blockers
The S\9 needs to bring back the phrase blocker for sms and the spam ID for phone. They were valuable in my S7.
Cannot believe they have done this. What app are ppl using instead?

Nothing, I don't understand what this setting does? Block phrases?
If I am getting texts from someone I don't want to receive them from I block their number, then they can't text or call at all
Spam texts can be sent with Phrases. Block Phrases allows you to insert Phrases rather than numbers to block them. However in Oreo it's no longer working.

You must get a lot of spam texts, blocking numbers is more than enough for me, I don't even remember if I've had a spam text
Telephone preference service is active too
There is an option for "Blocked messages" in Oreo, separate from blocked numbers, I'm guessing that blocks messages that are the same from different numbers, similar to phrases
Don't worry about it. Your not helping. Cya

I use Android messages and have since the first time I looked at Samsung's version. As for block phrases I have never seen a need for something like that since I can block the sender.
removing the spam phrase , make the S9, S9+ look stupid, a real stupid phone

Well "block their number" option doesn't work for all promotional messages. Maybe it's something specific for my country, but I often receive SMS messages from senders with no number (only company name is shown in sender details), and it is not possible to block those any other way than using phrases.. which is also not possible now.

I found it useful for minimizing spammy messages from folks I did not wish to block. With the S8+ I blocked a few key phrases, and minimized the spam from my siblings that abuse that annoying "liked/loved/whatever" feature n iMessaging. I didn't want to block my sister. However, I don't care if she "likes" every text message in a group - and sure don't want to be spammed by it all day. Best I've been able to do against this nuisance is to silence that group's notifications, since they took out the "block phrases" option.
I guess no one has found a way to do this? Has anyone switched to a 3rd party app that has this functionality? I really don't want to because I like using Samsung Themes with the default messaging app, but I need this option back.
For people asking "why" we need this, here's an example:
The person who had my phone number before I got it last year apparently had a lot of financial problems and gave her phone number to every loan and insurance scam on earth, so I get about 10-15 calls per day from unknown numbers (which I block now, so they don't bother me), and about as many texts. The texts come from a different number each time, all saying things like "<Person's name>, you can be approved for auto insurance for $10/month!" or whatever. But they all have the person's name in the message, so I used to just block any texts containing her very unusual name, problem solved. Until I got a shiny new Note 9 which no longer has this functionality. (Darn you, Samsung!) I've blocked at least 20 numbers in the last week, and I just keep getting more from other numbers.
