Bug - Messaging app stuck to other apps - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I assume this is a CM bug because I experienced it on my CM6 EVO.
Many times I try to open Messaging and it instead opens another app that's running in the background. Hitting Back scrolls through other open apps buy never gets to Messaging itself.
The only way to actually open Messaging is to get a notification or use launcherpros messaging widget. How annoying!
Anyone else experience this or know a fix??

[Q] SGS2 Lockscreen

Is there a way to change the default app that opens when you swipe the message icon to unlock using sgs2 lockscreen? Instead of opening messages I want to open go SMS. I know I could use widget lockscreen but I'd rather sgs2.

i thought about that too. but i dont think it is possible. i set Handcent to my defaults and it still opens the stock messaging app so i just sticked to it.
I have NEVER tried this but its an idea...
Set as auto for go sms and then delete the messaging.apk from /system/app so it force opens go Sms? Since it would be the only msg app available... Or... It coukd just FC the comand and crash... Lol idk i repeat ive never tried it i do fine with Samsung messaging

You might want to freeze the stock app and set go sms as your default one. I know Handcent has that option and then try it.
If you freeze or delete the stock messging app, you'll probably lose the ability to receive the pictures in mms messages.
I did, but once I unfroze it, mms messages received the pictures again.

SMS app replacement

Anyone here can recommend a non-laggy sms replacement app for the note's default one? GoSMS Pro is good, but it's laggy, and i rather some more feedback from the forum here regarding other apps before i go and try them, namely handcent, chompsms, etc..
your input is appreciated. thanks!

I've used Handcent before, but my current favorite is Go SMS Pro.

If only we could use the stock CM7 SMS App (and dialer, for that matter)! Tried installing it, it starts but FCs when clicking Compose.

Basically I used ChompSMS and Go SMS Pro. ChompSMS is for the quick reply window which I prefer to hide the text until I press Show and Go SMS is for Private Contacts which I did not want it to show at all in any of the SMS applications.
Handcent is really good with different theme to choose from and have a widget also
Don't forget about jaxtrsms. It let's you send free sms's...
GO Sms is a good choice! Love using it
The OP already said he tried GO but was laggy... and it is very laggy. I'd like to know of something similar too but will actually run well?

I didn't notice that! Actually, another 'choice' that is super fast would be the Go Widget that comes with Go Launcher. It isn't a full-fledged SMS app, but rather a Messages widget that you can add to a homescreen. Since I started using it, I rarely use the actual messaging app on the system. You can view and reply to messages directly from the widget through a popup window. I think the only time it uses your messaging app is when sending a "new message". It is easily the fastest messaging solution out there.
I use metro messanging beta and it is smoth like hell ;-) although it looks like messanging app on windows phone 7. If u like the look try it. I love it

GoSMS is good but the the current update (v4) is a huge letdown... Lots of Bugs (themeing and color customization), no lite mode, a lil laggy... im still using the v3.72...
Thanks all. I Am trying Handcent now, and nt as friendly when coming to individual sms tones, and especially when there's no options for group sms tones
Might have to try the others listed here.. Completely uninstalled gosms even the new version is still laggy compared to Handcent

[Q] how to disable stock message

Hi i am using miui rom 4.0.3 galaxy 3 ,i installed chomp sms but every time ii get a message the stock message counts it as unread even though i read it in chomp ,i get a count in lock screen and in stock message icon
Things i did
-i disabled stock notification
-i even back upd stock message and uninstalled it but after that i can't able to receive SMS so i restored it again
So please if anyone knows any solution help me :-(
I have a similar thing with my 'low space' icon in my notification bar which drives me mad, I just rooted my phone and found some apks that allow me to get rid of certain notifications.
Hope this helped

If you turn off all message notifications in stock Messaging, does it also disable notifications in Chomp SMS? If not, you could just do that
I have disabled all the notifications in stock MMS apps, also, and still get the unread message count. I guess you can remove the stock mms app from your homescreen so you don't have to see it. lol. I guess its a bug of HTC's...
actually the problem is with miui , it happens only with miui other roms just work fine
Anybody figured this out? I also prefer Chomp SMS over the stock Messaging app in MIUI. The double notification is driving me insane!
You should be able to delete the stock messenger. Worked on my lg thrill. Just be sure you have a replacement. Not sure if it should be installed first but i did. No problems.

download systemapp Freezer or any app which can freeze system app. You need a rooted device. After installing the app you have to go to system apps and there you can freeze the stock message. Thats the i'm doing it on VK rom ( using Pansi SMS)

When I froze the stock messaging app using Titanium Backup, I stopped receiving text messages altogether.
This is the one thing that makes me miss CM7!

What ROM are you using and which application you use to uninstall ...

I'm using miui. When I was using cm7, I didn't have this problem. I could disable the notifications in the stock messaging app just fine.

Random Menu Bar appeared on phone?

Hi just wondering if anyone can shed any light on this random menu bar that's appeared on my phone? I've closed all applications with es task manager and it's still there. I'm running Jellybeans on a galaxy note 2
If anyone can direct me where to get rid of it would be most appreciated.
Cheers guys!
Do you mean the bar on the side with the icons?
I think the phone has TSF shell launcher, try a launcher like apex or nova

If that doesn't work you can try this app
I had a app popup as the playstore, and it was a spam type popup from an app i installed a long time ago, DOWNLOAD AIRPUSH detector also as a double check if experience any abnormal popups to your GUI . it found the app and i uninstalled it ASAP (it was a workout app)
That popup is not abnormal, it is a feature of the last update. It's called multi-card, and allows you to manage 2 or more applications simultaneously on the screen; if you drag one of the icons on the desktop it opens the corresponding application, and if you drag another will open the new application under the one that is opened before
That's amazing cheers guys! It was properly bothering me becaues it would pop up every now and then and I didn't know why!
Is it possible to add other applications to the selection to use in multi windows?

No, for now, the apps supported are only the ones you see

[Q] Email popup app crashes

Sometimes apps crash, no biggy.. but sometimes it just feels strange:
When i select the email app from the statusbar so i can view the app floating, the app crashes. Yet if i open the normal email app from the applist, everything is fine.
Does this mean these are 2 completly different apps? And does anyone know the problem and knows how to fix this?
Regards,
Me
