Hey all,
My boss has a problem on his Moto Droid. In the text messaging app when he goes to compose a new message, and then type the name of the person he wants to send to. After the 3rd letter, when it goes to search for all the users, it crashes. It only crashes on certain users that are typed in.
When I use Handcent SMS, it does not crash at all. He does not seem to like Handcent SMS and still wants to use the stock messaging app.
This phone has not been modded or rooted or anything like that. I have tried rebooting the phone and doing a battery pull. A wipe would be the worst case scenario.
Any other suggestions would be great.

Ok, here is the deal bitaches =):
We seen Darky (ROM maker) implement GOSMS in his ROM. It's really good application. You can quick reply and all of other sorts of stuff that stupid stock SMS can't do.
Problem that I examined A LOT is the followoing:
Firstly, you shut down all kinds of notifications of stock SMS app. That goes well. So you don't get two SMS alerts.
But one thing stays and it's ANNYOING. Herei is screenshot: http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/3637/screenshotjm.png
Even if you read SMS with GO SMS this icon is still on main menu and it shows up SMS number that DOESEN'T EVEN EXIST. I mean, if you even delete SMS from GOSMS it's still there... it's ridicilous.
I tried to delete stock SMS app but then GO SMS lags (and every other SMS app that I tried, like 4 of them) and sometimes notification doesen't even pop up.
If I freeze stock SMS app that's like I deleted it so same ignorant stuff is happening. It's like magic circle you can't solve.
Anyone got solution how to have stock SMS app installed (so everything works properly) but in a way it doesen't pop up stupi number of SMS beside stock SMS icon?
Thanks.
It seems that it's TWLauncher problem. Installing something like GO Launcher fixes it.
Thanks, you can close thread.
So first off, I'd really prefer to use the stock messaging app over Handcent. I just like the feel and look of it better. However, I am having a rather annoying issue where notifications of new messages aren't coming through correctly. I have it set to turn on screen and open quick message on receipt, but usually the phone just vibrates and the screen turns on to the lock screen. Some times the screen doesn't come on at all. I'm currenly on the latest CM10 nightly, but remember this problem from when I was running stock (which was why I switched to Handcent in the first place).
Another thing I've noticed - this happens on Handcent and Stock Messaging App - is that in the quick message screen new messages appear twice or sometimes three times, but inside the app itself the message is only there once. I would love some help here.
Thanks!
One thing I liked about the stock Messaging app was the ability to tap a contact photo and instantly have it bring up the floating contact with address and so forth. So if my friends was texting me to meet at his place, with 2-3 taps I could see his address in Maps. Is there any way to jump to the contact in Hangouts? If not, I might have to switch to a third-party app as this is an experience killer for me.
There hasn't been away as far as I've found

Hmm so I downloaded 8sms as I thought it might be a suitable replacement. It looked great, just like the stock messaging app. Made it default. Came back and it couldn't load any of my conversations. Rebooted and it looked fine. Then opened it a second time and again lost my conversations. Switched back to Hangouts and my messages were still missing after a reboot. Opened 8sms again and my threads were there, went back to Hangouts and my threads were there.
Something very strange is going on with the 3rd party functionality in KitKat.
I often find my text message button will have a notifcation that i have one or two new messages, ive gone through the messages but the notifcation stays in. Sometimes even after i clear out all my messages. Seems glitchy. Is anyone else habing this issue? I also dont really like how (coming from an iphone) there is no way to tell you clicked on a message and read it vs one that is new and unread. Is there any way to change this?
Download textra. Much better than the stock app.
I went Textra as well. The stock app is lackluster and poor..
So, I've kept my text messages backed up for awhile, I have probably almost 70,000 messages. I usually use the app "SMS Backup and Restore", but it started taking too long, and Sony's backup/restore is pretty fast. When I did it though, it's weird.
Some texting apps have all my messages, like Sony's stock app, Chomp SMS, and Handecent/Next. But others are weird. Textra only shows text messages that I have received. Messenger (google's text app from the store) does this as well. I emailed a Textra rep (the app I usually use) and they said this was a known issue, I just thought it was interesting since other apps had the same activity.
Another texting app had all the texts I received and sent, but, it was all showing up on the phone as me receiving it (so all the text was on the left, as if the person was sending all of them). It was like that in Handecent/Next as well, as in, the person who sent the text was showing up as the contact picture on the right side, but at least it flowed like I sent the message, if that makes sense. Anyone experience this?
