edit: for anyone else that stumbles on this thread—it's floating around on mediafire, the google string I used was, "kik messenger android apk download"

KiK Messenger

Just got Inspire, stock rom, not rooted. When people from my phonebook text me, it shows their phone number, not their name, and not their contact icon. However I know I have them saved correctly because if I click on them and go to "view" (from the text) it brings up their full profile with their name and icon that I set up.
If I text them first and then they reply to it, their name/icon shows up and there is no issue.
I haven't added any new contacts, I imported everyone from my gmail contacts that I was using on my old phone, HTC Desire (where they were all working perfectly).
Does anyone know why this is happening?

There are competing theories on this. Many people blame Facebook while others claim to have traced it to the messaging app. I know I have not seen the issue with any Virtuous Unity or ClearDroid ROM. I would suggest rooting and installing a custom ROM. Any custom ROM will be far better than anything AT&T would ever release.

I haven't set up the Facebook link though. So everyone with this phone is having this problem? Is there a simpler fix where I can avoid flashing a new rom?

Umm.... Not that I know of. It's a bug with the latest ROM from HTC/AT&T so you will have it as long as you are on that ROM. Rooting is not hard and so worth it.

The easiest fix would be to install a 3rd party sms application like Handcent or GoSMS. Both are free from the Market. Both have more features than the stock messaging application and perform as well or better than the stock app.

Good point. I didn't even think about that.

The phone itself regconized only the numbers with +1 before area code and such, no dash and space, (and no parenthesis) you noticed how you recieved the text with +1? After you edit all the contacts by adding +1, restart the phone. It take times for the phone to get used to the numbers. Hope this helps.

Some of them already had the +1 but they still don't show up.
What I did was uninstalled Facebook then restart the phone, reinstalled and I have my sync contacts (Facebook setting) unchecked. It works for me :-/

That didn't work for me. I didn't think that was the problem because I had never even used the Facebook app or anything related to Facebook.
I'll look into rooting and flashing a rom when I have some time, can anyone tell me which rom is as close to stock as possible (with the messages fixed)?
and is Handcent the best messaging app to use for now? I read some negative comments saying you still get notifications in your regular Messages app so you have to do it twice.

ClearDroid is very much like stock. It has the bloated removed, currently uses the Sensor 3.0 messaging app and a 3rd party tethering app.
I have no suggestions for which messaging app might be best as I have always used whatever was included with whatever rom I am using.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using the power of the dark side
Both Handcent and GoSMS are very good apps. Up to the user to decide which works best for them. And if someone says you get double notifications, is because they do not know what they are doing. Start up the HTC messaging app and go into its settings. Turn off all notifications. Now you won't be bothered by it again. Also in the Handcent settings, it too has a setting to turn off all the HTC SMS notifications and make Handcent the default.
want to know if there is an app for voip on the webos
AFAIK, Skype is as close as you get (so far) but I don't know how well that works personally.
Skype works good on touchpad. I like it

Isn't there native Google talk intergration to webOS ? or is only for pre3? or there isn't any for pre 3 as well?
Skype is included in the 2.1.0 Update (for the Pre Plus).
On my Pre3 Google Talk is included, but as far as I can see only for simple text messaging. I'm able to add a Skype account in the phone settings, but I can't add a Google Talk account.

Linphone is under dev still alpha version , wiki and download are on webosnation.
Sprint users,
Has anyone figures out how to get the VVM app on our nexus?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I'm no longer with Sprint and I don't have my Nexus 5 yet, but in the past I was able to get it working on my old Optimus S running CM7 from a titanium backup I got from the original ROM. Its worth trying to pull it from a Sprint branded device (with app data) and importing to the Nexus. But I wouldn't be surprised if that didn't work.
It'd be nice if they made it a Play Store app like T-Mobile does.
Why doesn't Android have visual voicemail support built in? My Windows Phone had VVM neatly integrated. I love this phone, but it really surprised me that I had to download a 3rd party app to do this on Android

If you use Google voice, it does have visual voicemail like features, include free transcription.
You don't have to do full intergration or porting either. Just have Google voice handle your voicemail (launch google voice and walk thru' the steps to set it up as voicemail app)
I tried setting up Google Voice as voicemail only and didn't not work, when I dial number to provision *28..... Just tells me something about code not valid...
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
OK So I installed Google Voice and set it up only to handle my voicemail only. I suspect that Sprint was doing nothing more than using Google Voice to an extent, because when I installed Google Voice and set it up on my phone my Old Voicemail greeting was the greeting that I had. I had never used GV before on any of my old phones and when I set up my Nexus 5 I used the system standard. (I could be and most likely am wrong about this theory, just found it odd that the greeting was my old one from my old phone when I just used Sprint VMM app before)

The error when dialing *28 is tower specific - I ran into this when I was trying out youmail on sprint. Had to try out a few different towers before the *28 would take - be persistent.
Hello All,
I am having some trouble after I have no rooted and S-Off my M8. Everything else is perfect and I love my phone more than ever, but now when I go to the messages and scroll right, my VVM is gone and I also lost the app for it as well. Strange enough, it still shows in my Titanium backup list but the "service" is missing. I did uninstall some bloatware and languages but definitely not the service. Anyone know how to get it back or where I could find the APK? I would appreciate the help!

Ok, which messaging app are you using, stock or the verizon messaging app? Also, did you uninstall any Verizon apps, and if so, which ones?

I am using the stock messaging app. I Uninstaller the vzw messaging app, NFL network, Polaris, Verizon tones, Verizon mobile security, Navigator, cloud, accessories, isis, support and protection, infozone. Also installed all keyboard language packs except for Spanish and English.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
Probably has something to do with the Verizon apps you uninstalled. Happened to me too but with the regular voice mail app. When I try to open a it, it force closes. Even when I try to access it via messages on the right.
Only way to go to voice mail now is by dialing my number

I think you may be right. I'm a little stumped now, other than OP flashing a stock ROM again. To the OP, you might want to try a stock/debloated ROM, which you can find here. I would recommend SKYFALL or Bonestock, both great ROM's, and Verizon Visual Voicemail should work just fine. Hope that helps you!
So no one had the apk or service zip to correct this?

Usually is tied to messaging. I would be surprised if that was it. If you haven't heard it before...switch to Google voice for voicemail!

Yeah, I tried Google voice but it was a nightmare trying to set it up on a VZW device. I swear, if it wasnt for their reception I would leave them so fast.

It says " Unfortunately your network carrier is currently not supported for automatic voicemail configuration." When I try to set it up. I tried to follow the manual steps but no joy. Mind sharing how you set it up on your m8?

OK... so the first time setup I usually do from a PC while logged into google voice. There's a first time setup page there that tells you to complete a step you would likely miss otherwise. From memory... you have to enter *71 [Your GV #] and hit send on your phone. This sets up the voice mail forwarding for no answer/busy. You then open and install the google voice app and open it. ?It will ask you to login and then you hit next. I chose the option to NOT use google voice to make any calls. Click next on the setup voicemail page (you will get the unfortunately error. Hit configure. Select google voice. Hit OK on the carrier configuration prompt.
If you land at the voicemail settings screen (which is under phone settings->call) you want to see the voice mail service set to Google voice and when you click on the Voicemail Settings for google voice there you should see your google voice number there. After that, go back to the google voice app and it will sync your new mail box. Make a test voicemail call from a different phone and see what happens.
Hardest thing is getting the forwarding number setup on each phone which only needs to happen one time.... regardless of swapping phones. After that you will only ever need to run through the app setup
