magical is really good. I use it a lot. I love that app. the same way you setup for calls is the same way you setup for messages. then after you check the logs and you can see who called and also read the messages that was blocked. pretty nice.

I am going travelling, I have international roaming plan for voice, but I want to block all my text messages while gone so I don't get charged.
I dont want to turn them off with ATT so that I will get the text messages sent when I get back.
Is there any application to block downloading of all sms's that I can turn on and off on my phone? Searched for a while on here and google but Im not seeing anything.
I dont think that received messages can be charged. Only the sent ones

I think you will be charged part of the costs when you are out of the country.
You can't use a software to block messages because when the software sees it the message is already on the phone. This settings needs to be done at your provider. If in the phone settings there are no further options then I think you have to contact your provider....
Send a text message to 9999. For the message, type "block" (no quotes) space, then the four digit number you recieve. (9016, etc.)
This also works for blocking people from texting you. Just put their TEN digit number where you put the original 4 numbers.

I have tried this and while it does block the voicemail texts from being received by your phone it also blocks your voicemail application (if you installed it, from working) Presumably the voicemail app needs those texts to know to go download the voicemail. As a result with 9016 blocked I get zero notification of voicemails.
Still it's an extremely useful tip for blocking txts and perhaps a non-sprint voicemail app.
I cannot stand vvm, just because it messes with the text messages. And it is a pain in the ass to delete them one by one. I would rather call my voicemail, rather than get bombed by the voicemail app lol.

So if you do this and don't use VVM do you simply get a notice to call your voicemail upon receiving one? Also, can it be reverted?

There is a solution to automatically remove the SMS messages, so you can use visual voicemail with no compromises or annoyances

Redlist is a much "lighter" application. I put the 9016 number in the blacklist and made sure Redlist notifications are turned off. That way I can use the stock messaging, instead of Handcent, or downloading spc.
Redlist's free version does exactly what you need it to do, just limits how many can be in your list.
I have received two very unusual texts that don't seem to make much sense to me.
//ANDROID:${from} has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call ${callbackno} to listen. CFGs1840.105f53c3ffe2cafd3961pAZFdYeN//CM

Not entirely sure what this one is referring to. I don't use Sprint Voice mail because I use Google Voice. So my voice mail messages should be on that instead. I've never even bothered to set up the Sprint voice mail as I never have any intention of using it.

Not entirely sure what this one means. Googling it showed that it meant a text was successfully sent and for some reason my phone didn't filter out the message. I didn't send a text when I received this one though.
Both of these were sent from the phone number 9016. Looking it up this seems to be a Sprint number of some sort. I asked some other Sprint Android users if they got anything similar, and they had not. So is anyone else with a Nexus S 4G getting weird texts like this?
Sounds like sprint spam. That's weird that your phone is displaying code. I'd just ignore it.
I just received this today also. Messages exactly same as the OP and on the same phone and carrier ...
Not sure what it is all about either .. any detailed answers?
the message is how sprint handles visual voice mail. did you happen to have a phone before that had visual voice mail and never reset your voice mail settings when you got your nexus?
Joeykrim, big fan.
Try going to messaging app and do the following: send a text to 9999 and as the message type: Block 9016. You will get a text confirming blockage of that #

Had an Evo for 29 days, but I'm brand new to Sprint beyond that. I never set up any voicemail beyond Google Voice though.
Haven't had another instance of these texts yet though, so I'm just assuming a glitch on Sprint's side.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G "Lore" using XDA Premium App
multiple 9016 text messages.
I think i have found a fix for this annoying problem.
Ive found that it happens when u install some other text message app to handle your text messages instead of the stock messaging system.
I believe the 9016 messages are suppose to be hidden or silent messages and not actually get displayed, but when you set another program to handle all the messages, it doesnt know its not suppose to display it.
*So the FIX that i found that works is to,
tell the new text message program to Not Disable other message notifications. Meaning, remove the check mark associated with that option.
Hi
As title says, sadly in this world of unsavoury people its just not good enough to block a text, sometimes what you want is to blocking the text and also let the yahoo know that you never got it by sending a automated text back to them saying its rejected
I have tried the Norton beta which didnt even block a text when i tested it
Pliz help
thanks
Might be able to use tasker for it.
Set up a profile to autorespond to the message.. Not 100% sure if it can delete though.

You can try Easy Filter from the market. ive tried it before, it works well, and as you said, it can send automated text.
Hey there, I hope you're doing great!
I'm creating this thread because I was wondering if the issue I am about to describe is a known bug or if it only happens with me.
The problem I am experiencing is sporadic, as I cannot determinate a specific cause for it; it sometimes happen right after reboot, and sometimes after long usage, after a call, simple idling, etc.
Of course the issue is that when I receive an SMS message from a contact, I see it pop-up at the top as a notification, but when I want to see it in the threaded conversation, it is simply not there. I can continue texting, and they continue receiving my messages properly, as do I... only by looking at the top status bar though, because other than that, the threaded conversation remains the same during the whole exchange.
My phone is not rooted, it is a brand new LG-P999 from Videotron (They call it the LG Optimus 2X here!) and it runs Froyo 2.2.2!
Thank you very much for your help, and of course, excuse me if this issue has already been looked into! Otherwise, have an awesome day!
Is it possible you are using a third-party text app? I ask because I mainly use Google Voice for my texts, but every now and then someone will text my phone number, which of course means it goes to the phone's message app. As you mentioned, you get the notification and can respond just fine. However, if I don't pay attention, and go to my Voice messages, their messages will not appear, and I have to switch to the built-in message app to see their conversations.

Thanks for your reply, but I am actually using the stock SMS app!
Hmph, started looking into the "Messages" app settings and found something called "Text messages on SIM card" and found all the messages I was "missing".
What causes this?! =O
*EDIT*
I looked on the Internet a bit but found nothing pertaining to the LG-P999/G2X. I, however, found information on the matter saying that this is usually caused by reaching the maximum capacity of SMS messages in your phone. I have about 120 messages all in all, which is certainly a very small number! I also have about 4.50GB of free space on my phone!
Thanks for the help!
This is a known issue from LG... Call the tech support and open a ticket.
Voicemail notif is causing this issue... default storage is change to simcard by the OS...

Thanks a lot, it is definitely a relief to know that this is a known bug. Do you know how we can change the default storage of the voice mail, or I need to root?
Thanks!
I just wanted to add that I successfully found a permanent workaround to this problem by installing GoSMS Pro! No more "disappearing" text messages
