i posted this on the official google help forum last week when the update first rolled out, but haven't gotten any replies (which doesn't surprise me i guess, but i can't believe nobody else has seen this problem)...

i get occasional text messages from certain people who i don't want to talk to for the most part, but i like to be able to see what they're sending me if i so choose. so, i mark those people as spam...their messages still come through but are filtered into my spam folder, which i can then go onto my computer and open the web interface and read.

however, with the newest update of the android app, i'm now getting notifications for all messages, even if they're spam. this is insanity...if i have them marked as spam, why would i want a notification when i get a message from them?

the app used to do it the right way, and just filter them into my spam folder and not notify me that i had a new message...i tried uninstalling and reinstalling the google voice app, and that seemed to get rid of them for about an hour...then they started coming through again.

this is extremely frustrating and i haven't gotten any help (like i said) on the official google voice forum...has anyone else seen this and if so is there any way to fix it?

bump? anyone?

I'm guessing that this isn't very, "MAJOR" then after all.

I didn't realise there was a "spam" folder for, "texts".

Is this a 3rd party SMS application?

You don't mention what firmware you are running or if it is operator branded firmware which differs from stock.

huh? i'm talking about the google voice app, from the market.

and i disagree strongly that it's not a major bug...if i have something marked as spam, why would i want notifications when i get a message from that person?

I just tried marking a contact as spam (on my phone), and it instantly was in the spam folder on my PC. I also did it on my PC and was instant on my phone. Haven't tried waiting for that contact to send me a text (since I use text about once a month and would never want any to go to spam)... but at least the spam folder seems to work either way.
