I'm using the latest Cognition ROM, v2.3b6 and I've noticed since v2.3b2 that every SMS sent or received is now in the call log. I never saw this in the stock ROM or Cog v2.2b7.
It's really annoying when I want to scroll down to a recent number only to find that I've got to scroll through dozens of SMS messages depending on how many I've sent/received after a call to/from the number I am trying to locate.
Anyway to turn this off?
I've seen it in every 2.2 version I have tried. Unfortunately I know of no way to turn this off.
Can only hope when the source code drops it:
A) Will have an option to turn off
B) That Developers find a way to add that functionality
There is a way to customize the call log:
Phone->Logs->Menu->View by
Only problem is you cant have it show all calls (has to be either missed, dialed or received).
You can also stop that from happening by using Titanium Backup and "freezing" the stock messaging app. Doing so will stop all the logs from coming in and going out, but you also have to use a third-party messaging app. The only downside I've found to this so far, is the loss of MMS capability, but that could be an issue only with how Handcent is set up on my phone. Has anyone else tried this and still been able to use MMS (receive and send)?

Hi all, A co-worker has the Droid 2 and is about to receive her 3rd one in the mail tomorrow. The problem is that text messages are randomly cut-off or garbled to SOME people. I cannot seem to find anything to help her. The issue is not related to the size of the message (i.e. SMS converting to MMS) as it has occurred with one word texts as well as larger messages. Her D2 is stock. The recipients with issues have older (1 or 2 year old VZW phones. Guessing they are dumb or feature phones, but not sure). Here is what we've tried:
Example of a 1 word text: So I sent a text that said “busy?” and it came through to the recipient as “bus”
1. Turn off auto-correct in settings
2. Auto-Signature in settings is not checked (thought that might auto convert to MMS)
3. Switch to Handcent from stock messaging app. Same problem
4. Delete the contacts having trouble and then soft re-set the phone. Then add the contacts back in.
5. Replaced phone; same problem new phone.
6. Remove apps and replace one by one. Thought she had some luck with a camera app, but no go. The issue recurred without the camera app on the phone (have told her to check the camera apps settings to see if there is anything that could be adding pics to text messages without her knowledge. That would turn the message into an MMS. Long shot but worth a look.)
I feel like somehow all of her text messages are being converted to MMS but I cannot find any setting that would be causing this to occur. Cannot think of anything else. Anyone have any ideas?
I would try doing a factory reset without installing ANY extra apps, and see if it still happens. If it works, then slowly start installing apps until it starts again and you've found the issue. If it doesnt fix it at all, then I'd SBF and try as above. If still doesnt work then it's likely an issue with your carrier or maybe their carrier. (Person getting them)
I've been having an issue since the 4.4.1 update. I primarily use Textra for SMS/MMS and it's set as the default. However, I'm on a limited texting plan and use Google Voice for a few of the people I text with most frequently.
I have direct message shortcuts on my homepage for my main contacts. I used to (before the 4.4.1 update) be able to click them and get prompted for what program to use, Textra, Google Voice, anything else. Now, it always defaults to Textra.
I can go clear the defaults in Settings-Apps-Textra-Clear Defaults and it works normally for a few minutes. However, it always seems to set Textra back as the default SMS client eventually.
I'm trying to figure out a way to let my direct message shortcuts work again. I've factory reset and set up just enough to let me test again (Textra, Google Voice and a direct message shortcut), but it still does the same thing. I've tried with other SMS clients (8SMS, Hangouts) and the behavior is the same.
Can anyone think of a way to fix this? Is there a way to automate the Textra-Clear Defaults? Is there a way to create a Google Voice direct message shortcut? A way to fix Kit Kat so that I can use whatever texting app I want?
I'm running rooted stock so root solutions are fine. Would I have better luck with CM or something based off of it?
Thanks for any feedback!

So this is all I could find regarding an issue a friend of mine is having.
Fully stock Nexus 5 using GOSMS for messaging.
The messages show up in notification, but don't show up inside the SMS threads.
Eventually they appear, but not always.
Also their messages don't auto sort into the order they are received.
Re-installing didn't fix that, installing another sms app didn't sort it either.
Any suggestions short of doing a full wipe ?

Latest Updates.
How about on the stock messaging app or on Hangouts?
I'm currently running Google Hangouts 2.1 for SMS. I've been having some problems since updating.
The main annoyance is that I can not change the SMS received notification sound from "Hangouts Message". Doing so in the Settings > SMS results in it just switching to silent (no ringtone). This happens no matter what ringtone I make it, and once I do this it wont change from "silent" unless I delete all data for Hangouts in the App Manager.
The other annoyance is that MMS takes FOREVER to send. 3-4 minutes every time, regardless of signal strength. It eventually goes through, but it always fails, says "Retrying" for a minute or so, then finishes sending. Anyone else struggling with this?
Does anyone here have a fix for either problem?
Anyone not able to get your hangouts and sms to merge? I have the option turned on.

This is one of the reason why am not using Hangout. Try other applications that will work fine for you.
I updated to 5.0 last night and I am running stock not rooted. I'm currently on a wifi network with cell service. I have been using google voice for SMS and this scenario. Before the upgrade I would get SMS messages through GV over WIFI no problem. After the update to 5.0 i need to go into Hangouts wait about 20 to 30 seconds and new messages will come in. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm looking to make it so messages come in automatically without user intervention.
Edit: Just going into Hangouts isn't enough. I actually need to go into the SMS thread after which any new SMS messages will appear
