Whether I'm running Handcent, chomp, or the standard app, at some point (it seems while refreshing/fetching SMS) my messages disappear, nowhere to be found. This has happened twice this month. I have "auto delete old messages" disabled and CM 6 installed. What is causing this?? I have people's numbers in here that I need and it takes 20 minutes to restore messages (those messages aren't even remotely new). Maybe it's a CM issue but I feel like this has happened before on stock 2.2 but I don't quite remember. Regardless I'd like to know what's causing this and XDA is my best bet. I've seen postings all over in Google results about this issue. I'm running a Nexus one with a newly flashed radio on FRF91 build.
If it's Google's code issue then I'd like to see Cyanogen or the CM team patch this; that would be awesome.
i've had this happen to me too! I could remember this happening to me even on 2.1 on my droid. it annoyed me quite a bit. i've never come across the answer or anyone else who has had the same problem. so you'd be my first.
I hope someone else has the answer
no such problem with mine!

Hey,
My text messages are adding up a lot. Like if I am texting someone and don't close out the message then it starts counting my sent messages as well. So a lot of times when I close out the messages it says I have 10 unread messages in that thread and I have to go through and click on the message 10 times to make it a "read message.
Anny idea how to fix this? I have had this behavior one other time on my tilt, and it was only on one ROM, but am getting it now on my Raphael
Stock Rom or what?
Sorry,
Proven ROM, I looked it up and no one had found any fixes that I could see on that thread, so I was wondering if anyone here had had problems with a different ROM and knew a fix or if it was in the particular cooking of the particular ROM and I had to just put up with it.
this is an issue many have, but with no fix. i too am using provens rom.
Sometimes when I recieve texts the pop-up comes and goes away before I can read it. Then when I open up the application and goto the conversation view, the text I just received isn't there. It's been happening quite frequently now and is getting really annoying. I think mostly happens when I'm already doing something on the phone and I get a text.
I did some Googling and I found that people were reporting this in September with the version of Handcent then, but there wasn't any fix mentioned and I can't seem to find anymore information.
I'm running the latest version of Handcent on Fresh 1.1 with the Gumbo Kernel. Any ideas?
nevermind googled further and found a solution. will see if it work.

I've had this happen, also.. I think the last handcent update said something about fixing this, but It obviously didn't fix the problem...
I had that problem too, but for only one contact for some odd reason. So whenever that person sent a text, it wouldn't show up other than in the pop up box, but once I closed it, hte message was gone. I uninstalled and then reinstalled and haven't had the problem since. It's been a week.
Hey Everyone,
This is probably my first or second post here ever. I have just recently really gotten into trying different roms and flashing my phone. I can generally find my answer in posts already around but am having issues that I cannot find answers to.
1. I have a voice mail icon that will not go away. I have flashed Evio sense based Rom and Evervolv cm7 based rom and it will show up with both. I called Sprint and had them try to clear some stuff out (it was fun trying to keep them from figuring out I wasn't in sense anymore ) which has actually lead me to not have any data connection except for 4g. I am doing a recovery of an old sense rom that I have a nandroid of to check and see if a profile update will fix this issue though. My main concern is the voice mail icon. I do not use google voice and have my inbox completely empty. I also have called myself and left a message and gone in and dialed in and checked it and it still is there. Am I going to need to do a full reinstall from scratch to avoid having this? My guess is it could somehow be saved in my TI backup that I have and showing up after I restore the data. Is this possible?
2. I really do not like the interface for the phone in cm7. I know I can get Go Contacts or Dialer One to replace the contact search and the initial plug in of the number but once I call it switches to the same in phone interface and this is the interface that I really want to change. It seems like every thread that I have found just suggest changing to Dialer One or another app like this but does not change the actual in phone look. It also seems really unresponsive sometimes taking up to 5 or 10 seconds to end a call and leaving me standing there poking the end call button over and over until it responds. Does anyone else have this issue?
3. The final issue I am having is with MMS and from what I have read it seems to be an issue with cm7 in general. Is there any workaround for this? The other parts I feel like there is probably something that I am just missing and can deal with but if I cannot get MMS working then its probably going to be a deal breaker for cm7 until it is fixed.
In closing I would like to thank the community here. There is a lot of hard work and dedication to helping others that goes on and I really appreciated any help that you can give me! I know my questions are wordy and long but I wanted to explain what I have done to try to fix these issues on my own before coming here to you all. Thanks again!
I have the voicemail icon issue as well. I have had it with other roms. When I loaded up this time, the first thing I did was set up Google Voice and I didn't have the issue. All of the sudden, a couple of hours later, the ROM forgot I was using Google Voice and then what do you know...the beloved voicemail icon shows up. I have seen several "solutions" for this, but none of them work. Why isn't there a setting to clear the icon or an app that will do it?...or is there?...or maybe a command in Terminal Emulator.
I am using TAKEphONE as my dialer as I have had success with it. As far as I know you can't change the actual phone app. Sense is just a skin on top of the phone app as far as I can tell because when you have Google Voice ask you if you want to use Voice or Sprint, you can see the stock Android phone app for a few seconds.
I do not have any experience today with MMS so I am not sure about that.
The issue with the VM icon is still seeming to haunt me however I flashed Ginger-Ale and if you go settings>call>voice mail icon reset you can get rid of it. I am however unsure if this will be a permanent fix or if it will work after another flash but I will know in about 15 min once I flash the new one by Deck.
I also found that if I went into titanium backup and froze phone.apk (I did this to see if by chance I could get Dialer One to not use the regular CM7 in call phone interface that it removed the Voice Main icon but also caused the phone to repeatedly FC. I ended up having to flash to a nandroid backup which of course brought back the VM icon but it at least let me know where the issue was coming from.
Completely not an answer, but just so you know...
Any time you call Sprint and they do any communication with your phone, they pull the phone's info - rom version, radio, kernel, etc. This information helps them troubleshoot the problems you're having. Usually this will tell them which official release you have on your phone - if you've updated via OTA, etc. So they may not have known that what you're running isn't Sense, but they do know it's a custom rom and that you're rooted. Whether or not the person you were talking to pulled this information, took note of it on your account, or even cares, is something no one can answer. But it is a possibility.
So if you're ever having software issues and you take it in to Sprint (even if you've unrooted) and they refuse to fix it - you'll know why. Of course, you'd have to get a combination of asshole Sprint employees to have issues, but it is a possibility.
I've heard of the tech mentioning the custom rom to some people, so you know that even if they don't say anything, they know.

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:

Just noticed someone posting something similar about this. No one has anything to report on this topic?
First off, I have already found the SMSC help threads and verified my message center is the correct one for AT&T.
Sometimes, when I send SMS to certain people (random people?) the phone will say they are sent but the recipient will not get the message until 3-4 hours later. In the mean time I can text other people normally.
It gets weirder, I was thinking it was an inter-carrier issue, but if I reboot my phone, all of the missing messages will suddenly arrive at the recipient's phone. Its as if the phone tells me they are sent while they are in some backed up queue?
I was using Scott's regular build (several versions where I have this problem intermittently) and just upgraded to his beanstalk build and have the same issue.
I use GoSMS for my messaging.
Anyone heard of anything like this or can direct me to some help?
Much thanks!
And major props to Scott for his wonderful builds, my phone has never worked so well, minus whatever this issue is!
