Hello. Does anybody knows an app that can block calls from contacts ?
There are quite a few in the marketplace but from what I am finding none of them can totally block the call, the first ring, and on screen notification always happens.
There's a option on the contact that says "send directly to voicemail" use that
And if you dont want to send them to voicemail..
1)BlacknWhite.callblocker.pro.v2.7.0 and 2) Security Guarder
So I love google voice, but. I'd prefer to use handcent as my SMS app. Is there a way to disable google voice's SMS functionality? I'm on Sprint so my google voice account is linked via my carrier.

Going from memory here... but click enable text messages on this phone under settings in GV on your computer. In settings on your phone unchecked the box to keep your inbox synced. That is what I did in order to use gv for voicemail only and use stock sms. I receive a text when I get a new vm

I just did this during a sms conversation with the wife. Texts we're coming thru GV, until I...
Settings (In GV from PC)>Phones tab>Click "Edit" by your number>Tick the "Text Settings" box.
Now I'm texting thru the stock SMS app.

This works perfectly, but I still get text notifications from GV. If I disable text message notifications on the phone's app will I still get my voicemail notifications?
EDIT =>In sync and notifications, I have "synchronize inbox", and "text messages" checked, and "inbox notifications" unchecked. This notifies via stock sms and disables google voice text message notifications.
Whether or not I get my voice mail notifications is a different story.
My settings which send all SMS through stock messenger and sends me an SMS through stock messenger when I have a voicemail are as follows:
In phone --> menu button, synchronize inbox unchecked, Text messages (Notify via txt message) checked, Inbox notifications unchecked
On PC through GV --> click the gear in the upper right, select voice settings, under "Phone" tab click "edit" under your phone and check "receive text messages on this phone" then click save at the bottom. Under "Voicemail and Text" tab and "Voicemail Notifications" check "Send a text sms notification too:"
When I get a text that I have a VM I just open GV and listen to it. I cannot disable my Sprint number with GV and this was the best workaround I found. If you flash a new ROM you will need to redo these settings again.

Hey guys, it has been driving me crazy but for some reason I can't figure out how to get rid of the voice alert for when I get a text message.
Every single text is announced out loud: "New message received from". While it is very useful when I'm out and about, it can get annoying when I'm indoors.
Is there a way to disable it on the stock ROM?

Figured it out. In case anyone else would like to mute the lady announcing incoming texts:
Settings-->Sound-->Voice Notifications

Ever since i switched to MM, I get messages that come in "New multimedia message. Recieve?" then it give me a option to download, but never downloads when i click. Does anyone have a fix?
Hey guys! I was wondering if we can turn off a notification for a certain number thru Google Contacts? I saw that this is possible thru Google Messages, but I can't see the option in Contacts. I don't want to block the number, I just don't want to be notified by it when he/she is calling specifically.
Or, if there's any app that I could do that in replacement of Google Contacts.
Thanks! :good:
