Spam text option missing - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone. I just picked up a G4 today and the spam filter option is missing from the stock text app. I'm assuming its because I'm on a smaller carrier. Can someone extract their text apk or give me some insight on how to get that back?

There isn't any spam filter option on my Verizon model G4.

VIP Call List?
First, thanks OP for posting this. Seems to work great. Long pressing on a contact brings up options which includes "add to VIP list". When I select it a pop-up says that the contact has been added to the VIP call list. What does this actually do? I didn't notice anything different after adding a few people to it.
you need my favs on your T-Mobile account. they dont offer it anymore ...

Thank you for replying. I have MyFaves on my account. I just never used a MyFaves app. before and I never payed attention to MyFaves because I have an unlimited minutes plan.
If you still have a my faves account.. THEN you need need to get a google voice number.. and put that as one of your faves.. and you will never use your minutes up..
Not true, the new google voice app sets up a new number for each person you call or text.

It was posted sometime back that tmobile has already address that issue and thus fixed it... no more free minutes.
I have myfaves and google voice... I have been trying to do that but the tmobile site will not allow me to edit my myfaves anymore.. need to call them and have them change/edit myfaves over the phone.

This is not the myfaves app we all know.. its just an app that puts contacts you choose together for easy access.. it shares same name as myfaves that you have 5 ppl you can call for free. I extracted the real myfaves apk but will not work on my G2 even though I do have a myfaves account.

You should still be able to get the MyFaves unlimited minutes to contacts through google voice but without using the Voice app. You have to actually call your google voice number and then use the menu to place a call (a pain but should still work).

That's weird because I just Edited my MyFaves on their website last night. I took my Google voice number off and added a different one (on unlimited minutes plan).

I got this last night as I was expecting to only be able to add the five numbers I already had chosen and could clearly add more.
So by any chance does anyone know what the VIP call list feature is or does?
When I looked at the rom I extracted both apks.. one read faves.apk (which is the same one posted here on this thread but has been around the forum for few weeks now) and another apk titled myfaves.apk I tried both and only one worked wich was the faves.apk, the myfaves.apk didn't work and said something about network issue.

so... this is not the myfaves app? ok...cuz i really dont see a need for that app.
Faves is what? like a secondary contacts list of just people you call most/ choose whos on list?

Exactly, just like a secondary contact list. Choose who's on the list, comes with diffrent views to list, thumbnail or coverflow type.

Super long text message?

So today my friend with an Iphone4 thought it would be funny to copy the whole script of star wars return of the jedi and text it to me. I got close to 2000 text messages before I downloaded privacy star and blocked him. But the problem is I tried to do this and it's just not possible my text kept force closing and the text wouldn't send. Why can't I do this?
I hate steve jobs!

are you sure he copy and pasted straight from his phone? may be he did it in parts? or he sent from his computer. i think you can go to my tmobile and sent texts from there.
I'm sure I saw his text thread he did it right in front of me and then he did it again to another person. Like that's crazy that someone could do that cuz there's no way of stopping it once its sent

That's cool thanks but it says there's a limit of text you can send
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
There IS a limit. What's probably happening is that he's actually sending you MANY text messages. A lot of SMS apps (including the stock one I had on my G1) will reassemble received text messages so that they look like one message, when they were in fact many.
This story made me lol... I hope you get him back haha

Messaging app on stock problems

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.

Stop spam text messages?

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.

Contact to voicemail

In my contacts I have a contact called spammers for any computer generated phone calls that I received. I usually have that contact go directly to voicemail so it doesn't ring on my phone. Does the LG g3 have that option? I can't find any option to send to voicemail.
Thanks for any help.

Can you share how you did it? I'm trying to find the setting but I'm unsuccessful at the moment. Thanks!

Only way I've found to do it on the Verizon LG G3 is to add the number as a contact, then with that contact open open settings and there is a "All calls to voice mail" check box.
