Strange texts eg CH 0131 - Optimus One, P500, V General

Hi I keep getting text messages like CH 0131 (that is the dialing code for my area). This seems to happen more when I am driving around. Does anyone know why I am getting these or how to block them.
Cheers
Keith

Cm message notifications

Hey guys, for the past 5 or 6 cm builds I have flashed I never get the notification that I have received text messages. Notifications are on through the messaging app, I've even turned sync on. The only way I recieve my messages is if I click on the messaging app which is a pain, because somedays I forget to click it and I see messages from early in the morning. Is anyone else having this problem or does one know of a solution? Thanks

Cm10 preview texting?

So I'm running the cm10 preview. And it'd a great ROM only question is that when I text a lot in a short period of time it will come up with a pop up saying that if I want to send the msg. I have unlimited texting so I'm not sure why its popping up. Also I have tried stock msg app as well as other 3rd party. Any idea on how to fix/disable this?

Annoying Voice Alerts

I am getting voice alerts for emails and phone calls. I will tell me I have 1 email when it arrives, and also it just recently began telling me who is calling me when the phone rings. I did not change any settings, and I have looked everywhere to figure out where these alerts are controlled. Can anyone help?
Turn off the driving mode toggle in the notifications pull-down

Delivery report sound disable

Hi all.
Have rooted my s3 with the omega rom and using go launcher. Wanted to know, after having searched xda as well as Google, how to either - disable the deliver report sound OR disable the deliver report screen wake up. Its annoying when constantly texting a conversation to have to discard the notification of every sms received.
I like the implementation of the stock ics delivery report (just adds a tick mark to the sms) but the stock ics messaging app doesn't search threads by person. Only searches the messages. (So if there's a mod for that to enable search threads by person name as well then perfect, will ditch Samsung mms/sms app in a heartbeat).
Thanks
Kunal.

Try other sms apps in play store.

True but other apps don't replace the Samsung stock app. They just overlay it thus wasting precious resources. (As I understand it, please correct me if I'm wrong.)

Give it a try. Android quite good in handling resources. If it really cripple your phone, then just uninstalled it and find other solutions.

Have already tried Go sms or whatever the name is. Best sms I've found is the stock ics app but as stated in my 1st post, it for some reason doesn't search by threads only by messages. so if I have a thread with you, a search by your name won't yeild the thread as a result. only such messages where your name is mentioned will be shown. If there's a mod for that then that's perfect. Much better, lighter and faster app than the stock Samsung app.

Any senior member knows a hack for this? Come on I'm surprised the delivery report tone and wake screen hasn't irritated anyone else?

It has iiritated me too
I, on the other hand, prefer to use any other SMS than the stock one, but any other program will not disable the Delivery Reports.
It is very annoying that everytime you send out a message you get a "message delivered" reply, that I have to keep erasing every once in a while.
I have posted several times, in several forums, looking for an answer to this but apparently everybody enjoys knowing their messages reached their destination, as nobody seems to care.

To disable Delivery Notifications open Messages app --> Settings --> SMS Settings ---> Uncheck delivery notifications...
That disables delivery notifications. I like to know that the message is delivered. I just don't like that it sounds out like a normal sms and wakes up my screen. Just a tick on the sent message or a silent delivery report without the screen wake up is perfect. (Like in the stock ics mms app. However in the stock ics mms app one can't search for threads only for messages, while in the Samsung mms app thats possible).

This post is very old but if anyone had the same problem, just use the app "Messaging Notification". It solves the problem.
Thanks! This app is great! To recive proper funcionality I set "Silent" a ringtone in SMS app (to keep showing the SMS in notification bar) and everything else (the ringtones) I set in this app.

Reject call without it going to voice mail?

I keep getting spam calls and would like to shut them off without going to voice mail. If the spammers get an indication that the phone number is a valid number they will continue to call. I have tried to block them but they have so many different numbers it is impossible.
Any ideas? Thanks
Have you ever tried youmail? Its a app that's basically visual voice mail. You can see the number the message is from and just deleye rather than dialing in entering your pin and then pressing the key to delete. Give it a shot I found out about it on xda somewhere and like it better than the regular voicemail. Hope this helps

You could also try Mr Number. That app has an option to pick up and immediately hang up on people.
