Handcent SMS - myTouch 4G General

Anyone else's friends say the're receiving blank texts when sending a pic message from handcent sms? I have confirmed the stock messaging app works fine, its only when using handcent on my wife's mt4g.

I haven't had any issues sending pictures with Handcent.

I've had that but with chompsms hmm...
from Snugs hTc ViSiON

my husband just got the MyTouch 4g and he is having the same issue. if he sends me a pic from handcent I get a blank message. but if he send its via the stock app i get it just fine.
He had an G2 before and handcent worked just fine. So I think its some wierd interaction with the MyTouch 4g and handcent. Also I have the nexus one and handcent is working fine.

just sent myself a message and it worked, ill try sending one to my gf

Handcent need some work for the mnt4g

Thanks for the replies. Good to know it's not just me. I'll send feedback to the devs of handcent sms, if you use this app, please do the same so they support it. Thanks.

Go to
settings/wireless & networks/mobile networks/access point networks/check the "t-mobile data".
The reason the mms doesnt work is due to being checked on "TelKila", whatever that is, but that should clear up all the mms problems on your mytouch 4g.

actually for me it doesn't. The stock messaging app works fine but Handcent wont send mms. Weird.....

Interesting that you guys bring this up - I don't think it's just this phone!
A few days before picking this phone up on launch day I was having the same issue on my Nexus One, but that was using the vanilla messaging app...
If someone wants, PM me and we'll swap phone numbers and we can test. I've yet to try sending any photos on the MT4G

Finally a fix for mms. Thanks!

handcent has updated a few times, 3.4.1, 3.4.2, 3.4.3, in the last 72hours.

i'm using handcent right now and didn't set it as a default when the window pops up and asked me if i want to. so now i receive texts from my stock and handcent. aren there anyway for me to set handcent as my default?

Settings > applications > handcent > defaults...

i saw the default button but it doesn't let me press on it.

[Q] mms issue. People can't receive my pics

I am running the infused 1.5.3 rom and go sms. When I try to send a picture to my friend who has the exact phone I do and also my wife who has the iphone 4. They are both receiving this message
"Your phone is not compatible with this message type or size. Portions of this message will not be displayed."
Yet pics I send to my friend who has verizon go just fine. Is there some setting I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

My friend with his infuse can send me pics and I can get pics from my wifes iphone 4 when she sends them as well but they can't get mine.

does your phone ask you if you would like to resize them when you try and send...if so are you selecting yes
are there any other changes that you have made like:
freezing thesms/mms app
using a different sms app
etc etc
and then the same goes for their end...
have they made any changes, do they receive pics from others and only not yours

I am using go sms and I've tried stock sms. I haven't froze any sms apps. It doesn't ask me to resize, just the usual compressing or resizing message it normally gives without prompting for a user response. My friends infuse is stock and not rooted and my wifes iphone 4 is jailbroken but nothing has changed anytime recently with it. The apps I have frozen is just media hub. Yes they can receive pics from others and send them as well.
Edit: I have media hub, maps, and news & weather frozen.
Actually it just reads "converting to multimedia message" no prompt for anything. Very frustrating as to why mainly verizon people are getting my pics and not others. Thats how it seems anyway.
As far as trying to send pics that I actually took with my phone then forget about it. Longest I've had it sit is about 15 minutes before I get pissed and just delete the send. Those stay stuck on "sending" and never go anywhere.

I use handcent...in the settings there is an option of "max mms message size limit"
I believe you want that to be 2mb...anything over that will not send to some phones.
that has been the only instance where some people did not receive my msgs.
Have you tried on wifi and network? I have not noticed the issue on att, but on sprint you could not send or receive mms while on wifi
those are the only things I can think of

I do currently have it set to 4g 5M for the photo size. I could give that a shot. Still odd that it would not send to my friends infuse I have tried wifi and att network and home I have the 3g microcell which is NOT worth the $200. I'm kinda pissed I bought it.
If you want full bars yet calls cut in and out and you want to resend each text about 4 times cause they will instantly fail (happens no where but when I'm connected to microcell) then pick one up lol
But yea the mms issue happens elsewhere as well.

I kept the size the same for now but unchecked preserve image size and now it seems the pics send. Yesterday it would be stuck on sending. I can only test with people at work. The ones with issues are asleep right now. Hopefully that or the 2m image size fixes the issue

[Q] how to send picture text messages with cyanogenmod

Hi, like the title says is there a way to send picture text messages and receive them on cyanogenmod? because of this issue i have been using miui
I never had this problem but try GoSMS
You need to set your settings right in apn. I send/receive fine.

Also remember you have to have back ground data turned on for it to work
Mobil's data must be on to send and receive picture text. Wont work with wi-fi only for some reason texting need mobile data to send pics.
Absolution also way better version of CM7 is my opinion. But to each their own flavor.

Its because mms use 1kb of data to send the info. Still. Not sure why CM roms don't work like OEM based when disabling data but forces it back on for MMS. Just always been that way.

Text messages not being sent

Is anyone else having a problem with text messages not being sent? Im using handcent and every so often a message will show the spinning icon indicating that its being sent. It just keeps spinning and spinning. When I open the stock messaging app and check the status of the message it says it was sent right when I had originally tried to send it through handcent. The person I send the message to never gets the message though.
Has anyone else had this problem? Am I going to be stuck using the stock app?
I had this problem, went back to the stock app, but it only happens when I'm at work and I go in the basement and then come out, because of the reconnecting to data bug I have to restart my phone or it won't get data, send texts or anything, I usually take my 4s to work

I've had this problem as well. Sometimes i send the message again and that solves the problem. I am not rooted and still using the stock ruu. I'm hoping it's just due to a connectivity bug that will be remedied in the OTA update...if it ever comes.

Same here. Failed messages, failed notification, dropped signal etc etc. Hoping the official OTA fixes all of that soon.

My phone is having this same problem, except it's a little worse. The phone reports the SMS as not sent but it still reaches its destination, so I'll have iPhone users getting 2-4 copies of one text. Embarrassing.
Thanks for the replies guys. Although Im glad to hear that its not just me (I can avoid requesting a replacement) it still sucks and I too hope it gets fixed with an update.

I'm hoping that this is a software issue, because my 30 days are up in a few days and they're out of stock.. because I have this same exact problem.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
When you sent the message with handcent, did you happen to reply with the pop up reply box?
I use go sms and had the same issue where text were not being sent. But it only happens if I reply from the pop up notification. If I text from within the go sms app, I can text perfectly fine. I love the pop up reply so that I don't have to exit an app to reply, especially with the strict app management on the hox.

Last time it happened, I had sent a text from within the app. I installed go sms also, but I really want to use Handcent. I love that I can reply using the popup on handcent without unlocking my screen. I cant do that with go sms.

Another +1 on this. Occasionally have the problem with SMS, but often have this issue with MMS. Problem is, on my end, everything appears to be fine and that the message was sent, but the recipient is not receiving. I verified this by sending multiple SMS and MMS messages to my wife's phone, some of which were received, some of which were not received.
I have been having this problem also, both using the HTC SMS messenger and Hand cent SMS. Also lose signal from time to time for no reason. I think I'll just get a new phone before the 30 day mark.

It appears to be an issue with all 3rd-party SMS apps.
That said, ChompSMS seems to have identified the problem and resolved it completely. Ever since the last update I've had zero problems with SMS.
So, other apps should hopefully update soon too, or you can switch to Chomp.

Thank you for that information. Im going to try ChompSMS because this is one problem that I can not deal with and if it doesnt stop happening I will have to return my phone and thats something I really dont want to have to do.

I had completely forgotten about chomp. Thanks for reminding me. I started using it and while I still get messages not sending if I reply to a text from the pop up notification, it doesn't do it nearly as much as go sms. With go sms, the message not sending would happen one after another but not with chomp. And even though I don't like the sound, I've set chomp to make a sound after a successful sent message so at least I can tell if my message has sent without having to open the app.
Thanks again for mentioning chomp

SMS not sending from hancent
Having exactly the same problem..
I use Handcent and usually reply from the popup;
but I'm not sure if that's the cause of it not sending the SMS.
I've had the same problem on my old HTC desire.
This is making my GF very angry from time to time
I have the exact same issue i use Go SMS and i hit send but it never does instead it shows the little arrow that represents sending and it never finishes

I have this issue with all my MMS. They never send on first try.

Did anyone ever find a permanent fix for this. Go sms works better then others for me, but is in no way as reliable as it should be.
Is this a problem for every owner of the HOX or just some phones? Not sure if I should get a replacement.

[Q] Handcent Text Message

I'm using handcent to send text messages. Sometimes the message does not send, but i don't receive any notification. Is anybody else having the same issue?
If you read the market reviews, a lot of people are having the same issues.
I used handcent because it had the ability to turn screen on when you receive sms. I stopped using it because people would randomly stop texting me back and I was getting annoyed... Turned out it was me. :banghead:

[SPRINT] Can't send MMS

Posted in Networking as that seemed more appropriate, but I couldn't find a delete button, so if a mod could take care of this..
Thank you!
The issue has been happening to me recently (as well as my girlfriend, also on Sprint) that we cannot send MMS messages.
My phone is an Epic 4g Touch on AOKP and rooted, hers is a Nexus S 4g running stock.
No idea what is causing the issue, but whenever we try to send an MMS to someone it just sits there saying "Sending..." until it possibly errors out.

Cricket is having similar issues and they roam on sprint. I wonder if sprint also uses cricket towers.

Some roms there stock sms/mms sucks and you can't send pictures or receive them. You have.to use another messenger like go sms is perfect. I'm using chomp sms, handscent...try one of those & report back
