That looks like facebook text messages. Are you subscribed to facebook texts?

Yes I am however when I try to delete nothing happens. I tried force delete also. And when I open the msg its blank..

maybe msgs on you sim card !!!!
check it

perhaps the mod you are using jacked things up. Because that sure isn't the stock messaging app.

That's just Handcent from the market. It's ridiculously popular.
I downloaded it the first time I booted up my phone because I don't like the stock app, and I don't have this problem.

ok this is a really dumb newb question but how do I do that ? Yet I can decompile an apk or uncompress a ramdisk.

Handcent was giving me problems on my phone. I switched to go SMS pro. I've always been a handcent user but I got the same text 50 times in a row yesterday and that was just on one occurrence. It kept sending me texts repeatedly even though the sender only sent it once.

Whoa! This is happening to me too!
It all started yesterday on Handscent. I kept getting the same message my friend sent me once 50+ times. But then i uninstalled Handscent and i was getting 50+ messages on the stock messaging app too.
I went to the T-mobile store and they gave me a new phone, new sim card, took me off the network for a while and it was still happening. in the end, the t-mobile person the store rep talked to on the phone said they hadn't heard of this happening to anyone else yet and they would work on a fix and give me a call in a day or two.
so basically i'm still getting the text my friends sent me yesterday over and over again but hopefully they fix this soon. i thought it was a handscent thing at first, but like i said, new phone, new sim card, stock massaging app and it was still happening.
palosjr, did you find a fix for this? is it still doing the same for you?

I have two lines. I bought 2 g2x's, but put one up, and am using a mt4g on my second line. Yesterday, and the day before I was getting strange texts on both phones/lines. Some of the texts were ghost texts, and others were from tmobile.

sms errors

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this issue, but the past few days my texts have not been able to be sent. I get some SMS error and some code number. It never happened until a few days ago when it started happening probably about once a day. I had been on bamf a few days before it started, flashed the new bamf to see if that fixed it and I'm still getting the errors. It only happens when I hit send.
Anyone else experience this or know whats the deal with it?
I had this issue. I think its mainly network issues still going on. What I did was flashed back to stock radio and ran a different rom. Fixed it right up. But yes its a known issue.

Yeah Had Same Thing Happen To Me. Running Bamf Stripped V.1.1
My Thunderbolt just started doing this around 7AM this morning. I could receive text messages but when I tried to reply I got SMS Error Cause Code: 97 Error Class: 2
This happened to me before when I had a Droid Eris. No one could figure out what was wrong...Verizon sent me a new (refurb) phone - but the same thing happened. Eventually they had to send my case to Engineering before it was fixed. (which was approx. two weeks)
Not only have I lost SMS/MMS, just about 10 minutes ago I no longer have network access...
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
I did a battery pull, didn't help.
I also flashed back to stock from VirusROM. No changes...
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
I had this issue on Friday and Saturday but seems to have resolved itself yesterday (for me).
I've been having this issue for weeks now, but only on 3 contacts. Only way I can send messages to those 3 contacts is by sending messages directly to them, if I reply via the message thread then it fails. It's been driving me nuts.
I'm having this issue as well, sms code 105, error class 2. And it's only with 1 contact, happens once in a while with others but not too often. this 1 contact though it fails 100% of the time. Along with that my 3g will just randomly drop and it will say "no data connectivity", and I then have to cycle back to 3g. It's a big time PITA, thats for sure. Does anyone know if this is a network issue, or is it a phone radio issue?
I've noticed it has something to do with your facebook sync. If I have my favorite widget for a couple contacts set to text it automatically puts a +1 in front if the number and sms fails. If I go into the contact card it doesn't show the +1 though. Another thing I've noticed is if your in the actual message thread, hit menu, select more, and it should list recipients phone number as on option. I can select the one without the +1 but it won't default. Been having these problems on and off for about a month now with no solid fix....

[Q] missing contacts-anyone else?

I've been having issues with missing contacts since getting the hox. I'm familiar with the way contacts and android and gmail work, i've had an android phone since Nexus One era.
Anyway my problem is missing contacts. I added a contact yesterday, saved it. Used it this morning, this afternoon it was gone. Today i added a phone number and pic to a contact i've had over a year and now the contact is missing from my contact list. his name and pic is on my call log, i can access the contact from there, and edit it, but its nowhere to be found under the regular contact list. if needed to cal him after he was wiped from my call log i wouldn't be able to find him.
Any ideas? TIA
I have had this problem as well, it's annoying as ****... Also, one time I sent a msg to "bob" then it said I sent it to "dan" then "dan" replied. Then I tried again sending to "bob" and It said I sent it to "dan" but the first msgs weren't there. Then "dan" replied... But it was actually bob this time. Then I force closed the SMS app. Then went back and it showed my 2nd attempt with "bob"s reply. But the first attempt was sent to the wrong person....
Those are two of my only 3 complaints about the phone. The third is that the stock messaging app, the mms size limit is 600k
The rest of the phone is amazing. I love it to death

Yeah the phone is amazing. Slowly but surely we r getting some serious upgrades without s-off or bootloader unlocked. Custom Roms are out now that dont use recovery. I'm scoring 5400 on Quadrant 2nd run with my 1.8ghz De bloated, ultra fast rosie, de-odexed, zip aligned, advanced power menu, Free Tether havin themed HOX..This is for sure enough to hold us over till we get a real unlock!! with this fast ass muthaducka. What more do you need? Devs just started doing it like this... Just gonna get better everyday!

*How To* Screen off when receiving text!

First and formost!! Credit goes to face and any other person who discovered this!! I'm just placing it here so people know it works for the note 5 and for people to lazy to look with the search function!!
What this does: If you hate when your phone screen turns on when receiving a text, this will make so your phone screen stays off!
ROOT REQUIRED!!!
Step 1~ Use ROOT browser or any other type of ROOT file Explorer, head to Data/Data/Com.android.mms.

}
Step 2~ Go into the folder called "Shared_prefs"
Step 3~ Go into "com.android.mms_preferences.xml" be sure to open it in a text editor!!
Step 4~ scroll down until you see this "" now that you found it change the true to false! Save your edit and if your file Explorer creates a back up with an ext. At the end like .BAK be sure to delete it or move it else where as your phone will revert all changes upon reboot if you do not!!!
FINALLY~ I AM NOT Responsible for any problems you may cause to your phone be careful not to delete extra text or any thing of the sort as it could potentially cause problems!! Enjoy your extra little bit of battery being saved by text notifications not turning your display on !!
Or just use textra...
I own textra and honestly dont like it and for whatever the reason prefer the stock messenger in this case over Messenger or Textra. So this tutorial is quite helpful if I was rooting this phone. Quite sure people know that using another messaging app will stop your phone from turning on with notifications.
Thx OP :good:

This is off topic, and sorry in advance. Is there any way to make the stock app like textra while receiving a text? I.e only shows the name is the sender and not the text itself.

Go into the Messages settngs, under Notifications and turn of message previews? Hopefully that's what you're after...

That's similar to what I'm looking for, however it doesn't tell me who sent a message it just says new message.
From note 3 to note 5, they removed the sms reminder function from the settings. This same file can be used to add that back. I changed two values from 1 to 10 with great success. Pref_key_msg_reminder_alert Values in both string and boolean name.

MMS limit

I've noticed that when sending mms (pics) I can only select two pics at a time to send for the limit is 300kb. Is there a way to increase this limit or is it contingent on the service provider that I am subscribed to? I'm weigh metro pcs on an SM-G955FD Duos.

It is carrier dependant. Somewhere before I've seen the limits by carrier. There is a way to with root I believe modify something somewhere that will allow more if your carrier supports it.
I hope someone on here that's more knowledgeable would be able to assist with this.
Well, let's try out. I post three photos. Let's see.

Text messages. It only allows choosing up to two pics
Check out screen shot. This is a text message to my wife Iphone 7 the big one. It's work perfect, she received the text message with the three photos. My SMS is Yaata, I paid around three bucks for the premium features two or three years ago. In my opinion is better than stock Samsung, better than Textra, better than Google Message, better than Signal.

So you're using a different app for texting?
Yes, third-party apps is a way to go when the stock, in this case Samsung, gets short. Yaata is not a new SMS app but is solid. This days Signal SMS and Pulse SMS are big names out there. Some people want enhanced features, you know when the text you send is read by the one that received it. I don't know if there are SMS apps that can do that. I know that an e-mail app like Mail Droid can do it cause I bought it, not for that particular enhanced feature, just because I bought apps such as e-mail. Lots of people use Textra SMS, I paid the premium around a couple of years ago. Textra is nice but I prefer Yaata.

Outgoing calls stuck on Dialing and incoming calls rejected

Hi Everyone ! Since the last two days my phone has been automatically rejecting calls (ie the caller gets a single ring and the phone is busy message). If I try to make a call I get the call screen with the status as dialing indefinitely.
I have already tried to reset my Network Settings and that didnt help.
I have tried different sims and also checked the sims on different phones to rule out any service provider related issues.
Also, I am able to send and receive SMS test messages.
Any idea how to solve this ?

I have the same issue today too! Looks like it might be a software issue as we all had it on the same day? Gahhh I need my phone!
Uninstall or disable the Google app. Worked for me.

Thank you so much - I've had the same problem on my LG V40 since yesterday - I was going crazy, had tried everything until I found this thread. I then looked in Google Play app at latest updates and saw that Google app had been updated automatically yesterday - exactly when the phone call problem started. I simply pressed on the icon there and uninstalled. Hey presto back to normal, and a far more relaxed Sunday afternoon!
