my stock sms app keeps force closing everytime I open it, and all of my messages are gone. Also I had chomp sms and it wasnt sending texts so I uninstalled it and got handcent sms but its doing the same thing. Anyone else had problems with this?

check your signal strength make sure its not going in and out
power off your phone and leave it off for about 30 seconds
turn it back on and test sending a sms to yourself with the area code still
if no luck then continue on to
if the app is giving your the force close you could go into the menu/settings/applications/manage applications and find both or all of your downloaded messaging apps and the stock message app and clear data and force stop all of them. Hit the home key after and then try sending to yourself again.
if this does not work then i would suggest you resetting your phone and starting over.... or make sure that no blocking features have been added to your account if you are on one with someone other than just yo.

is anyone using HANDCENT SMS over the STOCK SMS application that comes with SENSE and ANDROID on the EVO? I am testing it out and its pretty cool! is there any reason not to use it? does it drain battery???
Been using Handcent for months now over the stock messenger & it's a go
Swyped by Gator_don & his Evo
I prefer handscent over stock app any day. Best part for me is that it pops up messages over the lock screen and lets you reply with out unlocking the phone.
I've been using Handcent since the Hero came out and had that massive battery drain issue with the stock message system that kept the cpu at 100% without letting it sleep...the first thing I downloaded when I got my EVO was Handcent! I love it!
I've always used and loved Handcent.
I used for a while with hero then evo, dropped it a month ago and get better battery lifr since, its a great program but in my evo it drains more battery than stock and I guess I just got used to stock again. miui messenger rocks too
Handcent since day one.
I've been using Handcent since the day after I got my Evo. I've tried others, like ChompSMS, but I keep coming back to Handcent.
handcent all day errryyy dayyy
Google Voice
The only draw back on handcent there is no way to use your google voice number with it.
But I love it.

Well said.
Well, I installed it and used it for a day and then could not figure out which combination of settings would keep the stock messaging app from popping up notifications in addition to the handcent notifications. clearing all the text notifications from not one but TWO apps got on my nerves in a hurry.
Simply disable notifications in Messages and you only have Handcent's popping up.
Is anyone else experiencing any lag with handcent?? Takes forever for the message to pop up on the screen n takes even longer for it to notify me once the message does pop up. The last few updates seem to have messed it up. Ive tried to uninstall n reinstalled but that hasnt worked. N on top of that, the stock messaging app doesnt work at all. I will never get any texts and sent texts will not go thro. So im stuck with handcent i guess for now.

You have to keep the messaging app, if you delete it/uninstall it, it will cause handcent to have those issues.

Correct but there is not way of using the google voice with any other messaging app. Only the google voice app itself. It would be great if you can integrate it with your messaging app and only need to use one. That would be sweeeeeeeet.

You simply open the stock app and go in to settings. From settings turn off all notifications. This stops the stock app from popping up and having 2 different apps telling you about your messages.

I never uninstalled the stock messaging app. After they updated handcent is when i got all this lag.
Same problem with handcent here.
Frustrating.

On the lockscreen, on the second slide down thing there is an ! with unknown beside it. After you unlock the phone you can't find that notification any where!
Already checked the notification bar and went and cleared the ram. Still the same. Does anyone know what it is trying to tell me or how to clear it?
I have factory reset the phone one time and it went away, but then came back in a day.
That's where the date goes. I see "unknown" there occasionally. I assume that this is because the phone hasn't gotten the date from the cell network yet, but still has the time cached internally. For me, it generally goes away after a bit.
The one time it didn't go away fairly quickly was when I had Handcent SMS installed and had configured my phone to use it and it's notifications, generally disabling the stock Messaging app and it's notifications. It stayed "unknown" while I had Handcent installed. When I removed Handcent and turned the stock SMS app back on it went back to showing the date.
I didn't test this rigorously, and have no idea if it's causal or just a coincidence. Has anyone else observed behavior like this?
thanks
I'm sure that it's handcent then, I haven't uninstalled it yet. But I bet that's it.
Thanks for the reply. Contacted handcent support about the bug.
I don't think its a handcent issue. I've had the same problem. The only way I got it to go away was to open the stock messaging app and view my last conversation. Then its off the lock screen. Try that. If it works for you...its an issue with stock software. I've had a fewb problems with the stock app. Wish I could just remove it lol

Found it
It seems if you turn off notifications in the Stock messaging app it gets cranky.
I turned them back on and it shows the time on the bottom lock screen.
I then went back and turned them back off and the time stayed, we'll see how long.
This is beyond annoying.
Screenshot, please?
Happns 2 me too glad 2 know I am not alone...

i think that this is a common thing, whenever i dont check my text msg or randomly click the power button, i would see the "!" at the bottom screen..dont know why
I had this problem too on my Sidekick 4G. I am using Handcent but I don't know if that's the cause for me.
What I did to solve this problem: I went into the stock messaging app, into the menu, where I chose "Browser Message". (This menu option is not always present, but apparently shows up when you get a message from your cell carrier.) There was one message listed, and I deleted it. After that, my lock screen displayed the date again.
When you get mms messages, it goes to the stock messaging app as well, so just go in the stock messaging app and view it in there and it will go away. Or, before your SD card loads, messages will go straight to the stock messaging app. Just view all your threads in there, click each one, and the unknown will go away.

I keep trying new sms replacement apps and i really liked gosms and handcent but i have a glitch with them that i cant seem to fix
whenever i open the app i get a notification for a message that ive gotten months ago and already deleted long ago, when i swipe it away or click on it it goes away then comes back again as soon as i open up gosms or handcent but i never get this notification in my stock text app, and i can never get it to stop appearing in any other text app, ive tried as many different settings as i can in the new apps, and tried erasing all my messages, cleared my stock sms app and turned of stock notifications but still getting the notification returning, any ideas?
I have the same problem on my Nexus with ICS 4.0.4
Maybe its just a problem for nexus s w 4.0.4 cause ive tried them before when i had gingerbread and 4.0.3 and had no problems
I also had that problem.
Perhaps clear data on the stock messaging app? Maybe even delete the db associated with it? I would search up on that though as I'm just assuming it will automatically recreate it. I'm also not sure of the name of the file.

Symptoms:
Receive a MMS picture message and the picture does not show (though it initially downloads the image). Under the stock messaging app, there is nothing. Under the Handscent app, it says "unable to display content" when there is no text. If there is text it shows the text conversation. I can however, under Handscent go into the menu/more/save mms and see the image there. I can send MMS picture messages just fine.
Setup:
CM9 Nightlies
I have tried wiping and resetting all the app cache, phone cache, etc. I have played around with the APN settings. Yes, for those that yell about searching the forums; I have been working on this for several days and nothing in the lists have resolved my problem.
Any thoughts on this issue?
Do you have the stock messaging app frozen or disabled? I had a similar issue and resolved it by unfreezing/"thawing" in TB and enabling, then just turning off notifications in the stock app settings so it doesn't duplicate the notification since you're using a different SMS/MMS app.

Thanks! I froze then defrosted the default app and now it works. I have spent way too many hours trying more complicated solutions. Thanks again!
Does this apply if i'm using only the stock app too?

It should. My understanding is that by freeze/defrost, you reset the application locks or something to that effect. It doesn't hurt to try it and see how it works.
Over the last two months, I have not been receiving all of my text messages. In some cases, when I am looking at my phone, I see the message come in the status bar, but then it disappears and is not listed in any messaging app. I have uninstalled third party apps and have factory data reset my phone, but the issue randomly persists. Motorola had me put the phone in Safe Mode, but since this happens randomly, I cannot walk around with the phone for a week in Safe Mode. Has anyone else experienced this? Is their a fix?
By any chance... Are you using the SMS popup app? This app is causing some people to loose some texts.

No. I had been using Glowfly and NotifierPro, but uninstalled them. I lose messages even with no third party messaging apps installed.
