I don't know if this thread deserves a seperate space in this forum but I'd really like to disable the group of numbers when I dial or some incoming call comes in. Like when I enter any number first 3 number goes into a brick "(234)-234-234" and rest has also this grouping kinda thing, does anyone know how to disable this thing?
I have another problem. This one is funny. When u save number like 99111199 with some name then when I receive a sms message it comes like +(country code)99111199 and name appears if u saved it in the phonebook right? But my phone doesn't do that and i see just numbers....

set regional settings to australia
I set it to British and now its ok , but sms problem hasn't solved yet.
I have gotten several text messages from some spam numbers. a few have come from the same number, and a single one from a different number.
i know i cant block all potential spam texts, but is there a way to block a certain number if several of the texts are coming from that number?
on another note, why the heck would i be getting spam text messages? anyway to find out why or how?
Thanks
You are getting spam from people you give your phone number too... companies that sell that info to advertisers and such. If you text your radio station, they will spam you... if you do the fastest text thing at the baseball game, they could spam you... there are a bunch of reasons you get spam messages.
As for blocking specific numbers from texting you: YOU CAN'T YET...
"Can I block messages from a specific number?
No. At this time you are not able to block messages or calls from a specific mobile number. You can set up a filter if the message is coming from an e-mail address. For more information, go to How do I filter e-mails sent to my phone?"

You can block calls? Well blacklist them, and they can only leave a VM, but your phone wont ring.
Calls isn't the issue I don't think... at least not for me. I have all the phone numbers from telemarketers noted under a 'telemarketer' contact that I just ignore. Is that what you mean by 'blacklist'?? Simply assign a silent ringer to them and ignore them when they call??
I called tmo and they can't block certain numbers, u have to dl an app, search sms block or something, there is a few on the market
ill check out the app. thanks guys. its mostly texts, only a call here and there. i dont text my radio station or anything like that, so not sure how i got on these lists.
like i said, its not really calls so black listing them wont really work. ill look for an app to block sms like 98 classic said
You can also use Mr. Number. When a text or call comes in from an unknown number it'll try and locate it for you. A notification will pop up on the screen prompting you to save, spam, or simply ignore the number. If you spam it, you can see other people's reports about that number as well as report it yourself. This also blocks incoming texts from the number as well.
Works like a charm!

App: Handcent SMS
Not only can you blacklist (block all contact) from specific numbers...but it is arguably 10x better than stock messaging app and is highly customizeable

And it also hogs your phones memory, lags it down and uses twice as much battery as the stock messaging app

Buy something from t-mobile called "Allowances" and block the numbers on there.
It works like a charm
I just received my SGS2 and I'm trying to get to grips with it..
I'm on Villain ROM 2.4.2.
My question is about the smart dialling feature. It appears to find the contact that I want ok, the problem here is that it will only allow me to choose the first number that is saved under the contact and offers no way to access a different number for the same contact.
I have many contacts that have a home landline number as well as a mobile telephone number and in the majority of the cases, it defaults to finding the landline number and doesn't let me choose that contact's mobile number instead or any other number I might have saved for that contact.
I know that there is a little arrow/drop list option next to the found contact's name but it just brings up other possible matches to different contacts - not any other numbers?
I hope that makes sense! Does anyone have a solution for this?
I think I know what you mean and if you press the little arrow and you see the list of possibles you need to click the contact for the person you want and it gives you a further list of all the numbers stored for that contact.
You have to be careful though because you mustn't first press your desired contact on that first list or will "lock in" the first number stored for them.
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks for that. I'm sure I tried doing that but now you've described it better, it definetely works. Would much prefer it if they could just list all the numbers straight off..
I was wondering is there any way to Assign a Name to Non-Contact Numbers ?
So, when someone who is not in my Contacts calls me it will display the name i choose
Like "Stranger" or "Do not answer" or "Unknown Caller" etc...

Isn't this usually connected to the fact if the caller sends the number or hides it? I assume even if one of your contacts calls and he hides his number you wouldn't see, but I might be wrong.

My contacts don't usually Hides there number.
So, I'm not concerned about that
I'm asking is there any way to Assign a Single name to All NON-CONTACT numbers ?
Withou decompiling phone.apk etc I doubt it, but you can auto reject all unknown contacts
Hello Members
Does anyone know, or has noticed that even if I pick a contacts mobile number and make it the 'default' in the phones address/contacts book, if then go to type an SMS message entering the persons name in the 'To: ' it still won't pick the 'default' number in it's listings first, but choose the landline number of the contact as first number in the drop down.
It's important if you want to use an app for Sending SMS messages on the new Smartwatch 2, as doing so will send the message to the landline number.
Any ideas please.
Kind regards

A quick fix would be to split it and create 2 contacts one for the mobile and one for the landline. Not ideal but its a workaround.
