Showcase with Froyo, SMS problem

I have Showcase Froyo with PNPv3 and all works GREAT! except text if write a long one, (problem when long enough to break up the text to multiples but also there when I keep under 1 text, so it doesn't break into two) the receiver gets symbols and punctuation. They usually respond that its junk and I send a short one and it goes through.
I believe it happened with 2.1 but didn't send long ones enough to realize it was consistent. but last night I purposely sent multiple long text to see if it was an always thing and none came through?
Anyone else run into this?

Is this what its doing in mine? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049486
never paid attention if its going as MMS or not?

I had the same thing happen to me. I am now on pnp 4. My suggestion would be download a sms replacement app for now. Also irc.freenode.net #samsung-mesmerise (Our devs hang out there and im sure someone could help you)

sms out of order

friend switched from iphone to inspire; her text messages show in the thread out of order.
any thoughts?
stock sms.
thanks.

bump....nobody?

Did she go to an AT&T store to do the switch, or did she switch her self? Sounds like there may be an issue with her account. I would have her call AT&T either way.

Your friend have check the APN setting?

i don't see how that sounds anything like a problem with the account??
I have the same issues every once in awhile. Is it every time for her? It seems like i only have the problem if i respond to a message within the same minute as i received a message.

at and t handled her upgrade
her phone is not rooted; completely stock.
sounds like it happens often, but she is busy at work and a lot of texts to contractors (so the reply time would be pretty quick)
how does she go about checking the apn?
apr. the replys.
edit: may just tell her to ask at and t

I have the same issues no matter what ROM im using. I think it has to do with the Sense sms app

i thought the same thing but our secretary has an evo with t mobile (htc) and never has that happen....
im at a loss....

Just asked my 14 yr old daughter and she said hers never show up out of order. I don't text too much so I had to defer to her.
If the timestamps are correct and they are out of order that is strange. You could try gosms or handcent as I believe they simply order them as they occur.

apr. that....kids ought have an idea better then us id guess.
seems like they text a lot. my last phone i had text blocked....lol...
ill tell her to try handscent or go sms....thanks again....

I have the same problem with my inspire 4g. like when I check my account balance from my bank. The text I get back from my bank is before the one I sent to my bank. It only happens when the texts are in the same minute. It also happens while testing my wife a lot.
ie
Bank 9:06am: Checking Balance: 2,000,000
Me 9:06am: Balance

I get the same thing for texts that are sent and received in the same minute. If I reply to the text with same timestamp, my.reply shows ahead of the text I replied to. My phone is completely stock and nonrooted.

This is why I stopped using the default SMS app...it's very annoying to me. I use GoSMS and no longer have this problem.

I've had the same thing, except my balance says something a liiiiiitle smaller hah

Get the app in the market called SMS Time Fix, install it, run it and put a check in the box for Active and under it set the Adjustment Method to USE PHONE TIME. Works great for me! There is the occasional message that comes in out of order but for 99%, the time is correct. When you restart the phone, just go in and make sure the check in the box is for active and make sure your app killer or task manager doesn't shut it off.

Weird text messages

My wife started getting these weird text messages from an over seas number. No idea what it is but she replied one time to get rid of it. We ended up getting charged more than than normal and was told the only way to stop was to change phone nimbers. She now started to get them now. Whats weird is now out of the blue I stared to get them on my phone. Any ideas?

That's annoying. I get blank texts messages from this one number, and it started about 1.5-2 years ago. It happens randomly, and I even called the number back at one point explaining to the middle-aged lady that she was sending me blank texts. She was surprised and said she had no idea that it was happening. I have screenshots to prove it, *****.
Luckily, I don't get charged for her blank texts.

Maybe an app u have is pushing them try downliading air push finder and see what comes up

My wife is stock and I just put eclipse on. I have not installed any new apps that I did not have before. I woke up and there were 5 messages from a number.

Last time we were there they were not very help full and said I had to change my number which I did. Now my wife is getting these and she cant change her number as she uses it for work. Guess I will call verizon again and complain or talk to a person with more knowledge. Hmm since Im not stock will they ask for information from the phone? Dont want to change back and re load if I dont have too.
Just called and they said they cant block and dont see anything but as long as we dont reply we wont get charged. Its just annoying. Weird though how she showed them to me yesterday and overnight I started getting them.
I am now finding some information on a verizon website and will try and see if it works.

Well neither of those options worked. Guess Im just stuck getting them and deleting them.

Why not just download a root text/call blocker? i have the same problem and this works just fine. I'd get some stupid message from a weird number saying "Want quick cash now! Reply "CASH" for quick cash now! If you would like to stop these text messages, respond "STOP"!"
Just dont type anything to these numbers and get an SMS blocker

You can block numbers if you go to the Verizon website and sign in into your account.

Must be doing it wrong or in the wrong place , the number that I keep getting is more than 10 numbers so it goes something like this
118012222357:OZMAIL
and then some other stuff.

Did you mention the Ozmail thing to Verizon? You're probably getting a message notification if I'm not mistaken. Verizon should be able to turn this off, just make sure you mention the Ozmail thing.
More info here: https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/668513/

Ozmail is the stock email app. Text 'stop' and it will stop. Every time an email comes in it is trying to go through the now nonexistent email app since you have an aosp email ask with your Rom flash.

Thanks for the replies , will check it out.

You can block numbers on Verizon's website but the block only lasts for 3 months which is pretty useless for this kind of thing.

I use Mr. Number from the market. So far so good. Blocks calls and texts. On the calls I have it set to pick up and hang up so they never get to my Voicemail. I think you can set a custom reply for texts as well.
The blocked numbers and texts never show up on my call log or text folder

Those work but in my case the number was too long and not really a
phone number. When I replied to the text it stopped.

I have the similar situation,but I am getting a wired phone call is from unknown caller ID. When I pick up ,there is always someone mumbling,, when you stop saying he stops. But the carrier can do nothing with it, unless i have to change the number.

I thought I have read about programs from the market that can block calls.

Why on Earth do people use MMS? Am I missing something here?

Every time a device gets AOSP (for the first time) I see a flood of posts whining about MMS being broken. (I've had an Evo 4G and an Evo 3D and saw this on both when they first got AOSP, now I see it in the unofficial CM9 thread here.)
Why MMS? What's good about MMS that you can't get with any other app or service?
Did I miss the train?

Do you know what mms is? From your post it doesn't sound like it.

Yea.. I gather that as well.

How else would one sext and send nudes?

1) It's universal.
No matter what phone the other person is using, chances are it supports MMS.
2) It's in-line.
Unlike email, you can just go "Here's a picture" instead of "I just sent you an email, you should go check it out"

I know its a serious question but made me laugh a bit. "Why God why!!" Lol

My girlfriend and I send MMS's (plural?lol) all the time. Sometimes she wants to send me something she saw or maybe a new outfit she bought With email I don't always have autosync on for battery life and its just that extra hassle. If I'm trying to send something pretty high resolution I will use email though since it doesn't compress it.

its the easiest and fastest way to send a pic to a person on another mobile phone, any other mobile phone, any OS, any platform, any carrier.
was this a joke?

FTFY

I guess I just don't get why you couldn't just email pictures or videos. All you have to do is tap after you've taken your picture and the UI asks how you want to share it. I don't know a single human being who still uses MMS outside of these forums and maybe my mother, who keeps buying feature-phones. :^\

It's easier to send a quick picture to a phone than through email. I don't know much of my friend's email addresses off the top of my head

Who wants to tell every single person to email them pics instead of texting them. Reminds me of the first few years of the iPhone.

I guess the bigger question is why not?

Almost not wanting to dignify the question... But....
Mms is also used as a group chat in messaging apps like gosms. Allows you to text multiple people at once and everyone in the chat can see everyone elses response. Just fyi

I have a lot of friends who use mms that aren't a part of the forums. As a matter of fact, I'm positive none of my friends are on the forums.

Here is a better question: Why do people still use CDMA carriers such as verizon and sprint? SIM lacking carriers are almost non-existant outside the USA.

Why MMS??? Then why sms ?? Yeah you could SMS but then if u wanted to send a pic or video then you would have to open a separete app which takes more time mms is simply faster

Group messaging question

This is my first HTC device and the first time on Verizon, coming from the nexus line. So far, of course loving the build quality! So, so, so good! But my question is very simple and just an annoyance, maybe there's nothing to fix this. Group messaging works perfect, nothing wrong with it, its just every time I click on the conversation it says converting to MMS, I don't care that its doing that, but the message that pops up every time is starting to annoy me... Is there any fix for this? Couldn't find anything in the settings

Not the Verizon one, but stock one that comes with HTC. I'm use to hangouts cause coming from nexus and I didn't mind that at all. Reason I'm not using the Verizon messaging app is cause the rep at Verizon was messing with my phone while the number was being ported and basically setting it up for me cause he has an m8, said he was saving me a few headaches

Haha yea I hear ya. I usually try to give stock apps a chance before I change over to replacement app, such as hangouts. Wish you could customize the colors like the stock messaging app but oh well
