Does anyone know any app to block unwanted SMS mainly, secondly the Calls without changing the native (saumsungs) SMS app
You can do it with the stock sms app
I'd love to block sms from operator which telling me some spam every time I left my country. Stock app can't do it.
As far as I know, you can not block an SMS without a number like operator sms. If you want to block those you have to use a third party SMS app like Android Messages. It's cool. I'm using it. Even it can mute SMSs too. Give it a try. :good:

It is annoying when you have little or no signal and you send an SMS only to get an unable to send SMS notification. It would be great if it could auto retry (AND get rid of the draft when the SMS is successfully sent).
Is there such a program? Couldn't find one on google or here.
Could someone make one?

Not sure with the standard messaging features but add ons like Vito SMS chat have this feature (resend) rather than searching through draft folders like you said.
I would like to bump this thread again. This can be a real annoyance and I can't imagine a skilled developer would take long to write an app to do this.

I completely support the statement that this is super annoying. Can't imagine why noone has tackled the issue so far.
I think many would appreciate this to be done..
so the app should always be running in the background?

Maybe integrated to the WIndows default SMS application?
i think the app should monitor if a new sms is moved to the drafts folder

But this would send even the messages you intended to move to drafts folder. like messages you intended to send later. but if it is not possible for now to integrate to the existing default sms app, i think this is an option. BTW i know you can do this oldsap, ive been using some of your apps since way back to the SAP era. thanks for that.
I blacklisted texts from 9016 with Handcent, but it continues to show me texts from that app, notify me of them, and just generally sucks at handling them. I have other issues with this app, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of a better app for both blacklisting and for handling texts in general.
Handcent is one of the best (if not the best) messaging apps for Android, but ChompSMS isn't far behind...both are highly customizable...but as far as the 9016 Voicemail texts go....when I was using Cyanogen's rom, nothing could really blacklist the 9016 text...that may be something that he's still working on, even though I could be wrong...
Super private conversation...market, free.
^^^and if that doesn't work, I use extreme call blocker. It's $5.99 on the market. I use it for blocking private and unknown calls but it also has a text messaging blocker. I've been blocking the 9016 texts and this app never notifies you of them.
Only way to truly bock the text is to log into your sprint account and block them there.
Even if you block them from your phone, they are still being sent (and possibly charged for)

SWEET! Thanks! This is perfect.
Bielinsk, you can't block these via logging into the website... they're different.
Noob question here, what exactly are the 9016 messages??
i did it by this
To: 9999
message: block 9016
send
havent had a text from it all year

Yes, that is all you need to do. It's the equivalent of logging into your Sprint account, only much faster more convenient.
how do you unblock after this?

I think you just send another text message to 9999 with "allow" and the number in question instead of "block".

Can you still receive and send sms/ text after you deleted mms.apk
try to freeze that apk with titanium backup and see if you can still send\receive SMS
the freezing option prevent the system from using the file without the risk of deleting it

..no if I'm right the sms functionality is included in the mms.apk.
You will have to install another sms app to receive/send sms again.

Is that mean I will not be able to receive or send text without installing another sms app? I just want to make sure that I or someone else cannot use my phone to send and receive text/sms. I want to permanently disable this function all together.

I have no need for it. I am a talking kinda guy and not much a texting kind
Is there a way to customize text message notifications for individual contacts . I can do it for the ringtones but not the messages. if there isn't a way does anyone know of a free app that would make it so I could do this.
thank you
Use another SMS app with that function.
Can you recommend a app. I am new to this .

Give thanks and enjoy!
I cant seem to find a way to block calls & SMS ( no sending to voicemail or archived messages) Im looking for a method similar to what CM roms offer where I can have both blocked and no notification or even a trace that a call/SMS came from the said numbers. Is this possible on the stock rom w/o 3rd party apps ?
There is no real block function in stock (unless the latest update to the phone app doesn't send it to voicemail). Best is to use a 3rd party app.
Mr Number has worked for my mother.
Actually there is a work around in Google Contacts app. Check the guide below:

You can always use truecaller.

The stock phone app (2.3.12) now supports this.
I have not received any SMS after blocking (which I shouldnt, so not 100% sure about that), but I have seen posted elsewhere that SMS are also blocked.
EDIT: so I tried, it doesnt seem to block SMS. However you can block SMS in the messenger app. You still receive the message(s), but you get no notification and the messages are archived. Not exactly what you are looking for but, almost.
Id prefer not to use any 3rd party app and just the stock apps or maybe an xposed module that can do so?
At least the calling part is taken care off the SMS part is something id prefer not to have anything stored on my phone just like how CM does it but I guess I have to live with that for now.

how do you get yours to automatically delete voicemails?
on my phone app, under call blocking it says "calls will be blocked but they may still be able to leave you voicemails".
