My wife started getting these weird text messages from an over seas number. No idea what it is but she replied one time to get rid of it. We ended up getting charged more than than normal and was told the only way to stop was to change phone nimbers. She now started to get them now. Whats weird is now out of the blue I stared to get them on my phone. Any ideas?
That's annoying. I get blank texts messages from this one number, and it started about 1.5-2 years ago. It happens randomly, and I even called the number back at one point explaining to the middle-aged lady that she was sending me blank texts. She was surprised and said she had no idea that it was happening. I have screenshots to prove it, *****.
Luckily, I don't get charged for her blank texts.
Maybe an app u have is pushing them try downliading air push finder and see what comes up

My wife is stock and I just put eclipse on. I have not installed any new apps that I did not have before. I woke up and there were 5 messages from a number.

doesn't Verizon let you block numbers if you go into a store and ask?

Last time we were there they were not very help full and said I had to change my number which I did. Now my wife is getting these and she cant change her number as she uses it for work. Guess I will call verizon again and complain or talk to a person with more knowledge. Hmm since Im not stock will they ask for information from the phone? Dont want to change back and re load if I dont have too.
Just called and they said they cant block and dont see anything but as long as we dont reply we wont get charged. Its just annoying. Weird though how she showed them to me yesterday and overnight I started getting them.
I am now finding some information on a verizon website and will try and see if it works.
Well neither of those options worked. Guess Im just stuck getting them and deleting them.
Why not just download a root text/call blocker? i have the same problem and this works just fine. I'd get some stupid message from a weird number saying "Want quick cash now! Reply "CASH" for quick cash now! If you would like to stop these text messages, respond "STOP"!"
Just dont type anything to these numbers and get an SMS blocker

You can block numbers if you go to the Verizon website and sign in into your account.

Must be doing it wrong or in the wrong place , the number that I keep getting is more than 10 numbers so it goes something like this
118012222357:OZMAIL
and then some other stuff.

Did you mention the Ozmail thing to Verizon? You're probably getting a message notification if I'm not mistaken. Verizon should be able to turn this off, just make sure you mention the Ozmail thing.
More info here: https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/668513/
Ozmail is the stock email app. Text 'stop' and it will stop. Every time an email comes in it is trying to go through the now nonexistent email app since you have an aosp email ask with your Rom flash.

Thanks for the replies , will check it out.
You can block numbers on Verizon's website but the block only lasts for 3 months which is pretty useless for this kind of thing.
I use Mr. Number from the market. So far so good. Blocks calls and texts. On the calls I have it set to pick up and hang up so they never get to my Voicemail. I think you can set a custom reply for texts as well.
The blocked numbers and texts never show up on my call log or text folder

Those work but in my case the number was too long and not really a
phone number. When I replied to the text it stopped.
I have the similar situation,but I am getting a wired phone call is from unknown caller ID. When I pick up ,there is always someone mumbling,, when you stop saying he stops. But the carrier can do nothing with it, unless i have to change the number.

I thought I have read about programs from the market that can block calls.
Can someone with the One X comment on whether or not the device supports threaded group SMS w/ iPhone and Blackberry users? My biggest gripe with the Galaxy Nexus was that when I received group SMS messages, it wouldn't show the group and threaded responses. Instead, it showed separate messages for each response from each user. Coming from an iPhone, this is a must have feature for me and I wanted to know if the One X supported it. Thanks.
If it doesn't there is an SMS app you can get that supports threaded group chat. Not sure of the name, but it's out there.

None of them work well...I've tried them all with the Galaxy Nexus and that's why I got rid of it.
I'm surprised there aren't more people who are concerned about having this feature.

I'm concerned, I'm coming from a blackberry and I use that function all the time. My One X is on order so if it doesn't, I'm SOL already haha
I sent out a massive group text when I got my phone to inform everyone of my new number, but the responses came back in their own threads.
It's not something I would utilize very often, so I'm not too concerned about finding an app to do it. I'm pretty happy with the stock Messaging app aside from this.

Thanks for letting me know about this. Just to confirm, there are no options to turn Group SMS (or MMS) on in the settings of the messaging app? I currently have many group chats with work colleagues as well as personal friends and this might be a deal killer for me (unfortunately).
Received messages go in their own threads, I've been looking in the settings and don't see a way to change that so far.
If your group consists solely of smartphone users, why not use whatsapp?

We used to but since everyone switch to the iPhone and Blackberry there has been no reason to. I'll be the first one in the "groups" to switch to Android and not having this basic functionality sucks. Even dumb phones are able to do this nowadays so I'm pretty disappointed.

Well, at least BBM is coming to iOS and Android eventually. It's not much of a consolation, I'm sure, but at least it's something. (rumour alert! don't crucify me if it never happens! )

Problem with GroupMe is that if someone had once installed the app and then subsequently deleted it, the app doesn't recognize that and fails to send them the message. Unfortunately, most people I know have at some time or another, used GroupMe and then gotten rid of it.
Handcent doesn't work? I've got a few friends with iPhones that want me to join their group chat, so I installed the add on to Handcent.. haven't tried it yet though.

This is by far the most infuriating part of this phone.. My three year old BlackBerry supported group chat, but my top of the line android phone has to use a third party app that stumbles, doesn't send, triple sends, and is so freaking ugly. How hard can it be for someone to fix it so I don't have to have an app and can use the stock messaging program to talk with my friends.

OH Jeeeeez. I finally switched over from my iPhone 4S... because ICS and the One XL seemed to finally have come up to par with Apple's platform. Love the lightning fast LTE, the camera is only marginally worse than the 4S (close though)... and the screen is gorgeous on the XL! HOWEVER... I get a lot of group texts from my foodie friends with pics of food, or whatever... and actually... this situation with the inability to deal with those texts is almost a deal breaker for me! I had no idea ICS hadn't dealt with that yet... and worse... even HTC hasn't been able to recognize and address that shortcoming with all their coding expertise either? Yikes... I'm either going to have to go back to the 4S, or deal with a flagship phone that fails on a very basic requirement in 2012...
What a buzzkill...

Okay everybody... check this out. I was looking for a way to get Visual Voicemail working on my One XL... and ran into a dead end. Finally got in touch with a helpful ATT "Advanced Tech Support" guy (after being forwarded from standard tech support)... and he directed me not to the AT&T Visual Voicemail app that is not compatible with the One X... but he says the AT&T Messages app is the one I need. So I installed it... and not only does it work very well for visual voicemail on the One X... the SMS/MMS feature of the app ACTUALLY THREADS GROUP SMS/MMS !!!! And pretty well too.
I've only had it installed about a half hour... but if it's not too buggy... I think this App not only solves the Visual Voicemail issue... but also potentially the SMS/MMS group threading problem. It won't have tons of features for power users (not very customizable... unfortunately)... but for those of us who NEEDED threaded group texts... we may be all set.
Linky below...
(Update: I was not able to post the link because I'm new to the forum... just search for "AT&T Messages" in the Android store.)
Hi guys does the HTC ONE XL support 2 way call recording by any chance?
Cheers
You mean out of the box (like a built in app?)? If so, then no. I've heard this is illegal is some areas (at least w/o the other party knowing they are being recorded), so I believe manufacturers will not ship with this feature, at least not in the US.

In the US, the laws vary by state. Several states only require one party to consent, i.e. you can record all your calls, and the only thing forbidden is to record a call you're not a party to. Others require all parties' consent. If the call is between more than one state, you'd probably better just have all parties' consent.
I'd kind of like it if incoming callers could hear a quick "this call will be recorded; hang up if you do not consent" message, and to have my phone record everything.
Ok, everytime I get a new phone I go through this...looking for the best way of enabling this and it usually comes along...most recently with rvoix on my EVO 4G, now I have an EVO 4G LTE (I know, I know, but it is basically the same phone so don't call me out) and want to know if anybody has any information about how one might go about getting that to work on this new phone.
And, just for the sake of clarity - please avoid talking incessantly about the legality/legal issues of it - basically, we all know the law or can find out what it is in our area - this isn't a forum for lawyers. It isn't illegal to use the damn software unless you do something illegal with it.
So, on that note...any information?

It wasn't my intent to sound like I was preaching about the law, simply explaining why this type of software is not packed in.
For sake of clarity if you want to use a specific 3rd party app, you should have mentioned it in the OP. OP was very vague. Hard for people to help if you don't tell us what you are looking for.
I guess this question wasn't really directed at USA version of One XL but just one XL in general.
I use the call recorder to take notes when i dont have paper handy. My current phone the incredible S requires a kernel patch to allow it to be used with callrecorder software

Hi all,
Since the integration of GV and hangouts I've been having some difficulties with SMS on my Sprint HTC One M7 phone as a result. Prior to the integration I was able to send and receive text messages over a standard cell signal but afterwards I can only send/receive them while I have a 3G/LTE/WiFi connection. Which is frustrating for a couple reasons: since I use tasker to turn off my data while my screen is off to help conserve battery, I can’t receive any text messages until I turn the screen on and data is reconnected. On top of this if I'm out of the house in an area without 3G/LTE I can't send/receive any text messages via my google voice number. As I said before this was not a problem until GV and hangouts became integrated.
Before posting I searched through some other posts and found this link: https://support.google.com/hangouts/answer/6023920
The link states that:
“If you're using Google Voice on your Sprint phone, you shouldn't turn on text messages and voicemails in Hangouts. This will cause problems with your text messages.”
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I tried this and sure enough the sending/receiving SMS does work again with over a standard cell signal, however, text messages no longer appear on the hangouts website... which is less than ideal.
So I’m wondering if this is happening to anyone else using google voice and sprint.. and if they have any solutions that might help? It’s really frustrating because previously to the integration I had an awesome system where I could send/receive text messages on my phone and as well as my computer very easily and it seems that google’s now trying to phase this out for something different.
I do not have a Sprint phone but the problem is not because of Sprint. The problem lies with your HTC.
The reason I am saying this is because here in Australia, HTC phones are terrible. I am saying terrible to be nice. There is always some sort of problem with them. Whether it's software or hardware, something will go wrong. 100% of people I know that have or used to have an HTC had to get it repaired within the first year of owning one.
Best thing I can suggest is for you to change phones.
Hope this helped.

Honestly you shouldn't have even posted, this problem obviously does NOT lie with HTC but with Sprint/Google Voice/Hangouts. Also you are from Australia which which means you have absolutely no experience with Google Voice.

No. By the way, opting out of the google hangouts integration fixed the problem of not allowing SMS to work without Wifi/3G/LTE, thus the problem had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the phone!

How about this. I will contact my friends in the US that have an android phone, find out which of them have a M7 and find out if any of them have experienced the problem you have been having? Just to keep you as a happy chappy. I will even go one further, i will ask who their service provider is just to prove to you that the issue lies with the phone, not the provider.

There are actually three forms of GV. There's the original google voice app, which is being depreciated with the integration of GV/Hangouts for the hangouts app, then there's the new app added, which you mentioned for VOIP the Hangouts Dialer.
As I said before in my original post everything worked perfectly, for almost two years so far until the GV/Hangouts integration, so don't go calling my phone a piece of ****. After a lot of searching, (mainly of google groups support forum) I found that the problem lies with GV/Sprint integration and they're still working out the bugs. But it should work fine for other carriers, which is why in the original post the link suggests opting out of the GV/Hangouts integration.
Although doing this doesn't allow you to use the google hangouts web app to receive SMS, it is still possible to receive them when using the the Hangouts android app as the default SMS app and the google voice webpage as well.

Mate in Boston who is on AT&T who has the M7 replied saying that he had the same problem, gave it in for repairs and it works fine now..... I am not saying HTC SUX. I have had personal experience with HTC but traded it in for a N4 after 6 months cause I got sick and tired of it messing up.
Honestly, you don't listen, you don't read. The problem has already been fixed and it wasn't a problem with the phone. So stop being all high and mighty with your Nexus phones are the best talk.

It might just be an encrypted message sent to the wrong number.
Not even sure. It looks like it has some patterns, but it also looks like it is somewhat random. I mean decrypting this is most likely impossible, and by most likely I mean certainly. I am intrigued, unfortunately, no way of satisfying the curiosity.
yeah.. it has repetitive fragments and looks like encrypted text. but I still don't have clue what is it
We have no cipher key, no clue what kind of encryption that is and what could be the context for it. So we are probably never going to find that out.... Unfortunately.

Hey man im from Alaska that's INSANE because if im not mistaken I've gotten alot of texts like that and learned not to open them because they usually (once opened) executed what id assume is your code given here, it may not run on newer android versions, ive had that number send me texts that return a '0' and proceed to delete themselves on 4.4 and lower.

Interesting! I guess it's an "OMA" msg (silent msg) which could be "legit" (if you think it's ok your carrier can potentially mod your phone without you knowing) from your carrier but could also be malicious. Are you also on Rogers, maybe they use OMA msg to set your phone for their network? I didn't expect them to look like encryption though, thought it would be higher level type code...
Would be interested to hear from someone who knows about this sort of stuff.

Nope I was on GCI up there and they absolutely do use those messages (from the tower bouncing) from my understanding GCI was the only company to set up towers in Alaska. AT&T and Verizon both bounce off of them . Very odd and ive never heard of a R customer receiving one (especially from an Alaska area code)
I forgot to add, I wouldn't doubt if you're in the Yukon or western areas of Canada you're indeed bouncing off GCI as well. To be honest I came across this thread by accident & totally got sucked in by seeing the area code haha. They have a lot of tech up there no telling what that is all about, weird as hell though.
