SMS Filter no longer blocking numbers
« on: November 07, 2013, 10:45:43 PM »
I have my SMS Filter set to block incoming SMS with Hidden numbers and Unknown numbers.  It was working fine but 2 days ago it let a text come thru from my provider.  Today, another text came thru.  They were from different numbers...both just 5 digit numbers.  I updated avast this morning before the 2nd SMS came thru so today's update didn't fix what ever is happening here.

Filip, do you know what is wrong here?

Hi,

no. I suggest you enable debug logging (tap 5 times on the version area in Settings-About) and when another text goes through again, send feedback (the sooner the better) via Settings-About-Send feedback and post the ticked ID you get to your email inbox here. I'll take a look at the logs.

Just a side question: is there a way to disable the debug logging after that?

Yep, do the same thing again :)

It could be a long time before another text comes in.  What negative effects will debug logging have leaving it on for a very long time?

Your phone/AMS might get a tiny little bit slower and/or battery might deplete a bit faster (I personally don't notice it at all and I have it always on). Otherwise nothing.
