I'm running Android 2.3.4 or gingerbread whatever.. I used to use a app called "Blacklist", it would send unk number's or any number not in my contacts directly to voicemail with no notifications... samething with text. It isn't compatible with gingerbread for reason's unkown.. is anyone using this version of android and have a program that is similar/compatible? Thanks in advance
ChompSMS, Handcent, GoSMS all have blacklisting for text. Not sure about calling.
Thanks, I know Chomp, Handcent etc.. are text apps though... I need something to block random #s from texting me... Kinda like when you're married but give your number to a girl, she calls you, you guys hook and she keeps bugging you type of blocking text

haha... good one.
i cannot count how many of these post i saw over at Crackberry.
you pledge your entire being when you get married, to your partner. you have no business cheating on her.
I'm not going to suggest any applications, or how to do. I hope you get caught.

I agree... I do use it to block unknown numbers, but not to cheat on anyone. That seems silly to me, nonetheless, I won't preach.

everyone i know personally gets my real number, all of the others get my Google Voice number. i can control everything that i get and don't get that way. My wife has my log in for google and i have hers. we don't hide anything.

I wish these would work for my situation. I want unknown callers to be blocked and no voicemails from them cause i have some company leaving me automated messages once every 2-4 weeks, but i do also have people that i know call from numbers not currently in my phonebook. And the number changes each time too. I wish the donotcall list would work for these idiots.

If you get the number they are calling you from you can file a formal complaint which will get the harassing companies fined for their actions. I once caused a 10,000 USD fine to fall upon Dish Network for their actions .

Try the app I mentioned. The reason is, it rejects calls and you can control how it proceeds. It can send the calls to VM or block completely.
And I have GV as well, that is the # I basically use for unwanted calls.
Blacklist by Ming software does both call and and blocking. Works great.

Im sure most of you read the news about hangouts now supports vzw mms or vzw finally supporting google voice... regardless, this is great news for me since my primary phone has being my Google voice for a long time.
I'm looking forward to a way of making hangouts being less laggy on the Note, if anyone was able to make it more smooth, please share.

while I tend to agree with you, I have a note 4 on Verizon and hang outs is not lagging for me. If you do a search in xda there are people talking about this problem.

Right... it is weird, it is very laggy on my wife's S5, was laggy on my S5. It is laggy on a G3 I have laying around and also on my Galaxy Tab S. I have a original Moto X and on the Moto X it isn't laggy... I'll keep an eye on the development of this issue, I have 2 year warranty anyway (and never keep a phone for that long) if it turns out to be a defective device I'll replace it.

Thanks for this! I've been giving out my Google Voice number for years and the whole MMS thing has been the one thing I hated about it.
I just tested with a friend who sent me a pic and it got shifted over to email. Not ideal, but since I get email on the phone too it's a lot better than it just disappearing into cyberspace.
I haven't integrated Hangouts with Voice yet so maybe that's why it got turned into an email. I've been hesitant to integrate the two. Does anyone know how to separate them again if I try it and don't like it?

I don't know how to separate them, never tried really but the reason you got the picture on an email is because the Google voice app doesn't support pictures, even back in the day when T-Mobile and Sprint were the only two supported for MMS I think it was received as an email.
Make the jump to hangouts and it will all work fine. By the way, when you switch it to hangouts, you'll have to forward your calls again to your Verizon phone # OR you can use the hangouts app to make and receive phone calls. The calls handled by hangouts are over WiFi or data, like VOIP

I think that guy had more of a serious problem.
I have tested 8 Notes at 4 different verizon stores now and they all have horrible lag in hangouts.

So tell me how you are experiencing lag? as I don't seem to notice any?
When you hit send, the animation is all jerky. On Motorola devices or nexus, it's butter smooth
so you can receive mms messages now via hangouts.. but you cant send a mms via hangouts ... Is this correct?

My understanding and experience so far is you can send MMS, get MMS, whichever. Group messages aren't working, though, so not that kind of MMS!

According to this http://www.droid-life.com/2014/11/10/google-voice-mms-messaging-support-for-verizon-now-official/ , group messaging is being worked on and will "be enabled in a coming update".
I used to be able to do this on my tmo m8, but don't have an option with this phone. Don't know if it's Sprint or Marshmallow, but it's extremely annoying!
I have a contact called spam which houses all of my telemarketing and other annoying callers and would like to configure it to just send those to voicemail. Is this not possible at all now? And if not, wtf?

Thanks, but that only works for the number. I have something like 30 numbers in that contact at least! I should be able to just block that contact entirely.

Is that a sprint or marshmallow thing? Well, now that I think of it, my old phone was rooted and I was running roms on them. So perhaps it was something was always built into the roms I was using. Still, seems like a really simple, yet effective feature. Don't understand why sprint or google doesn't include that feature.
Not sure but I've been with Sprint for 9 years, and been like that as long as I can remember

I use Extreme call blocker & it works wonders. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greythinker.punchback
I use to use root call blocker on my M9 which was amazing till the mm update which broke it.
However this app is just as good and no root required. Doesn't affect battery life and it just does it's job and stays out of the way. It's not free but that's a good thing in my eyes, no ads and support got back to me lightning quick if you have an issue but I can confirm it works wonderful on this phone. There is a slight delay when a junk call comes in so phone might go off for a second but I'm guessing this is due to no root access but it's still pretty quick and will keep your call logs clean. Mine is setup to block all calls unless you are in my contacts and other calls get sent to voicemail so if it's important they can leave a message.

Thanks! It appears they do have a free version of this that blocks the calls, but not the text messages. I never had a problem with the texts, just the calls, so this could be perfect! I installed it last night and now I'm kinda hoping for another spam call soon so I can see it in action. Thanks again!

Yea I just bought the paid version right away, I like to support great devs anyway. I shut off SMS blocking, could be something I use in the future. Yea you can see the phone light up when a spam call comes in. Mainly I like it for keeping my logs clean and not bothering me for numbers I don't want to talk to which is everyone not in my contact list.

Same here. Did you try linking the numbers into one contact?
Personally I hate that option. For me there have always been unintended consequences.

Yeah, I have a contact called spam and in the past I've been able to set it to go directly to voicemail. I guess that was a feature of the ROMs I was using. Yet another reason to need root on this phone!!
I have been scrolling through looking for answers, I have a s7 on att fully stocked. When I send a pic through the default app or a 3nd party ( exp: chomp, hangouts) about 2 out of 10 pics come out looking chopped in half and messed up on the receivers end. I have noticed this with people on multiple carriers and a range of different model phones receiving the pics.
Any answers? I have already hard reset it and problem continues...
Idk but this is happening to my wife's phone and it's pretty annoying.

I know, I have done resets, different messenger apps and other things testing. I'm pretty advanced with android but even this I come up short with. I wish someone had a answer. Is your wife on att also? Does she have the new wifi calling enabled? If so sms goes out over wifi not just calls. I have noticed it with and with out wifi calling enabled. I just want to find a common variable between them. :silly:

Hi people just thought i would see how you are getting on with Bixby voice.
I'm liking it so far but there are a few hick ups like when i say call mum it spells it as mom no matter how many times i try and say it so it can't find the contact.
It's terrible for me on my 8+ no mater what I do to try and get it to wake up using "Hi Bixby" it doesn't, it doesn't even hear me now when I try to rerecord my voice [emoji19] and I can't get it to wake up from locked using bixby without pressing the bixby button so at the moment for me it's useless [emoji19]

Bixby voice is the single most terrible voice control app I've ever had the misfortune to use. You would think it would equal google voice at least. But no, it's utter ****e.
