Text Messaging Issue - Hero CDMA Themes and Apps

I have had my Hero for about 3-4 weeks now and LOVE it (coming from Touch Pro) the only problem I have is that when I add a new contact and want to text them, I get get a text back from them but under a different name, like the contact I previously added before the new one?!? I have to delete the whole thread to get the right name and pic of the person I am actually texting. This is very frustrating and hope someone can help me find a fix to this. Thanks!

All sms programs retrieve the information from the Android OS which is actually responsible for handling the information. That's why you are seeing the same thing no matter what program you are using. But quite frankly I don't know what's causing that. I remember reading about it before, but I'm not sure if people ever came to any resolution.

Thanks Flip...

well it seems to me that you need to flash a new ROM to your Hero, try MCR or Fresh, or just update with the sprint update from the settings menu. Since it is Andriod OS based error, try that if that does not work, take your phone back to be exchanged.

ok well i am about to load the fresh rom.. hope fully this will fix the issue..thanks for the input..

Thanks Flip and codelockdown...I am like certifiedsinner and tried handcent but same problem, I loved the UI but it was a bit buggy and I found myself going checking the stock sms program when i got a message so i uninstalled but I will def consider all those options, i may just end up waiting for 2.0 or possibly 2.1. Thanks again guys!

Sadly, the bank of america issue is a known one and I haven't seen any real fix for it.

Deleted unread SMS :-(

Hi guys,
I have a problem, that from time to time my WM phone (Hermes) freezes and then I have to do a reset with the stylus and all the unread SMS that I´ve received in the meantime are gone..
Is there a way to prevent this, please? (e.g. a program that would automatically mark all incoming SMS as read so that the WindowsMobile system will actually store them even in case of a reset?)
Thanks for any help!
Pteropus.
nobody knows a solution..?
please..
please, help meee.. isn´t there a way to stop the unread sms-s from getting lost after restart..??
No idea.
I tried and mine works normally. I sent myself an SMS. I didn't open or read it when it arrived. I just left it unread in the inbox. I performed a soft reset using the stylus. When the device rebooted the SMS was still in the inbox showing as unread.
yeah but when the phone freezes it will delete.
it happens on my wing and on my old excalibur.
exactly
thanks for your replies..
so what can be done? i am thinking of a soft that would either keep the unread sms in its own memory on the memory card or a soft that would save it right away as read.. it is such a bummer, it´s a feature of Windows Mobile but I am wondering why this doesn´t bother anyone else...
Yes believe me this is a major pain in the a#@*! Has happened to me quite a few times and even made me miss an important appointment once...
I take it that this is simply a "feature" of the system but it could be down to a rogue program somewhere. Not for me to say anything of course but some of the third party programs available do seem to make my machine freeze more than most. Remove them and it works ok for long periods.
Funny that...
same here
that is the same source of madness for me.. last week I got an SMS from a horny girlfriend but the phone froze, sms is gone and she says that she will not say what was in it, beacuse she is ashamed how open it was and wants to play a dame now.. aaaargh....

9016 voicemail fix thread for Cyanogen Nightly Update users

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Just thought this would be a good idea for all of us having voicemail problems.
Post solutions and comments on developing a fix here instead of clogging up the cyanogen thread.
PS the spiicytuna method posted on page one of cyanogen does nothing to fix the 9016 issue.

Call the number included in the text you get. It will ask you if you have a sms voivemail phone or smth. Press one for no, and you stop getting the texts.
/fixed

Tried that. You get a new text telling you to call a certain number to retrieve your voice mail.
Blacklist the number?
One way around it
Well. It seems you can go to Sprint and block the text message at the source. Just log into your account and add them to your block list.
Will have a voice mail sent to me and see if it works. I've read in other forums that it can take a month to work.

Update: Blocking 9016 did NOT work. My VVM updates, but I still get the annoying texts.
Any suggestions?
im not sure what that 9016 issue is but i do have a voicemail notification issue so i will speak of that
the sms you receve can be avoided while messing with ur settings in google voice online... when u click edit on ur mobile number there are options to uncheck sms notifications as well as transcriptions.. mess with ur settings and that fixes that issue, now onto the annoying one...
the way that i have figured out how to temporarly remove the icon is to flash whatever the latest nightly build is using rom manager and the use the option to wipe and adding the google apps, i then wait for my phone to reboot and let rom manager do its thang then as soon as i put in all my gmail information i wait till the menu starts to pop up then quickly press menu, call settings, voicemail number then change that *86 to my 10 digit phone number then press okay then i quickly change my carrier to google voice then go through all of those settings quickly till i click finish then press okay even though i may get that error that says something like my carrier doesnt support google voice or whatever it is then i go back to the carrier option and even though google voice is already selected i click google voice again and it tells me that my number has changed... no more voicemail notification UNTIL i reboot my phone, so any new fix that maybe come out involving any other issue i choose to ignore if it means that i have to reboot my phone... also a good thing to know is once u have success of finally getting rid of the icon whenever a new build is released just install it using rom manager once again but this time DO NOT select the wipe option and rom manager will install the latest build without the voicemail icon and all ur settings will be good to go right after the install however the same rules still apply, one u reboot it will come back, so after installing the latest build just dont wipe and dont reboot after all is said and done...
even though some tard thinks me mentioning *86 as the issue is me "wasting bandwidth" i feel that that is where the issue is.. this is the only rom that i have to change the carrier settings right off the bat instead of defaulting to our sprint voicemail... im not saying im *****ing about the issue in any way but this is an issue ive been having so i thought i would mention that...
now onto things ive tried that never worked....
ive tried just keeping my sprint number as the default but that never works, my only solution has been changing to google voice quickly...
ive called myself exactly 10 times and left myself voicemail messages, then after installing the latest nightly ive change to my voicemail number to sprints and deleted all 10 msgs and that did nothing...
ive gone into the application settings and deleted the phone data cache then quickly change to google voice without success, even after changing the settings i quickly pulled my battery and then started my phone so that it would default to googlevoice and still nothing...
since rom manager has worked for me as a temp fix ive tried doing all the same stuff using ar recovery doing all wipes and whatever else is possible without success, rom manager is the only one that works for me so i just stick to that...
and for those that say the google voice is too hard to setup its really not, just quit being lazy and do ur initial setup through google.com/voice and get urself a number and play with ur settings in there and when ur done with that then start the tutorial up top
i never had this issue until went from a cm6 nightly to zenfx2.2 to update my prl then I nandroided back and now i get these texts every 5 min
I think you guys should think of using Google Voice... Unless I am misunderstanding something, this is a Sprint VVM problem right?

Google Voice is the ****! Use it, enjoy, problem solved!
Man thats some good weed!
I don't like Google Voice... It doesn't give me anything I want. I shouldn't have to get Google Voice to fix a silly problem.
//not complaining about text messages, just Google Voice.

Problem with google voice is that it sometimes disconnects for no reason. I was using it and had to change because it kept dropping me and people would tell me my voicemail did not work.
I'd be cool with G-Voice if it did not do this.

This is just an educated guess and not a statement of fact, but having run the Fresh ROM in the past, it sounds like at some point you flashed your phone with the Fresh ROM, and then maybe flashed back to CM6 but forgot to wipe everything?
When the Fresh ROM boots up, it does indeed say, "Fresh!", so if you're stuck in a boot loop with that ROM's data, you could hear "Fresh!" repeatedly and your phone not start up.
I would go to recovery, do the full factory reset wipe, wipe cache, dalvik cache, and then do your nand-restore or reflash of CM6, google apps, etc.
I hope that this helps.
Thank you for your time,
I would try to just wipe the dalvik and cache first and only do a factory reset if that doesn't work.

I may try it again, as I did not mind G-Voice. But it had happened a few different times. Now I admit I have not tried it since I went to RC2 and the 8/24 nightly.
I'll try setting it up again and see what happens.

[Q] Droid 3, Serious SMS issues, Stumped verizon Tech's

Hello everyone,
So im gonna make this short and sweet.
Had a thunderbolt, it was plagued with the nasty " sending texts to the wrong contacts " issue.
Got verizon to send me a droid 3! WOO AWESOME...
first thing i did was re sync, re download a few apps. cool great awesome story, but i noticed as soon as it was activated any text i send to a verizon phone gives me the delivery report " failed " ( using GOSMS. ) but i can recieve them, works with AT&T though... so..
called verizon, did a hard reset, re activated re updated PRL and had them do some stuff on their end.. to no avail.
Finally, put the phone into safe mode. sent a text using the stock text messaging application..worked fine.
so i uninstall GOSMS re install.. same issue, So i tried handcent.. same issue.
Now, this is reflected in the stock app. so if i send a message in GOSMS, and it fails.. if i go to the stock app it reflects that and says it failed.. ive tried EVERY messaging application and they all do the same thing... at this point im confused and out of things to try.
anyone have any idea's?
thanks in advance!

MMS issues / App Force Close?

When I got the phone (before rooting,etc.), my sister tried to send me a picture and I never recieved it. I kind of shrugged it off as a network error.
I use Go SMS instead of the stock SMS app anyway. Every now and then, I'd get a message saying "Messaging has stopped." but it never bothered me.
Since then, I rooted and installed the CM10 preview on the phone (amazing piece of work, might I add :highfive
I had issues reciving (and sending) pictures then, but I recall specifically reading there was issues with that.
After restoring to stock, the Messenger app wouldn't even load, and force closed every single time. It forced me to use a third party texting, but since I regularly use Go SMS, not a biggie for me. But no matter what I do, I can't seem to get the messaging app to ... well work.
Also, as before, I still cannot recieve a picture. No clue why. Makes no sense for me. Sounds like a software issue, but after multiple restores / formats, I'm really not sure.
A friend of mine also had the same issue. I'm posting to see if anyone's come accross this before, AND possible solutions.
Thanks for your input guys! :good:

How can I fix my sms?

So I downloaded an app that allowed me to spam sms to someone however upon uninstalling it I have discovered that I no longer can send sms messages from my device. They don't mark them as failed or anything they just never are received on the other end. I imagine that somehow the smsc gateway settings got changed but I can't find out how to view it or change the value.
I don't want to have to factory reset my phone but I will if all else fails. Can anybody help?
btw I have boost

I am a little bit confused here. And the app you are talking about somehow was interferred with your original sms app? Look you need sms service and sms app. Perhaps worth extracting from kdz. I might dig those out for you. For example myself, I am using the messanger and services from Marshmallow AICP even on my GF2 and it's working like a charm. The thing is if you haven't srewed the services up, bro.

The app was used to send a large number of texts at once. Its ok though I just reflashed the stock rom over again and it works again!
