Weird self-repeating message notification.

I got a problem with my captivate. I was texting with a cousin and I accidentally deleted the thread. Right after that he sent me another message. I tried to go to it from the notifications thing and it took me to create a new message instead of starting a new thread. Now every time I send or receive a message I keep getting the notification for that weird message even though I clear it every time. I even get a notification for it when I open up any messages thread. Don't know what to do.

are you using stock messaging or voice/handcent/chomp

Try clearing your cache for the messaging app. If that doesn't work you might have to do a factory reset

I'm using the stock messaging application. How do I clear the cache? I wanna try that first before master reset.

[Q] Handcent SMS keeps resetting it's settings.

I just got my Infuse on thursday and installed the Refuse mod on Friday, then over the weekend I installed Handcent SMS to replace the default messaging app.
It works great and all, except it doesn't save it's settings. Sometimes it will keep the last settings it had, but other times it just randomly decides it wants to pretend like I've never ran it and delete all of it's settings and shows me the release notes when I open it.
Is there anyway to get this to stop?

It happend to me too. If its a big deal to you I use infused and it dosnt do it.

Well I guess I'll switch to Infused then. I like how you can theme Handcent and customize it a lot. I tried chompSMS since I heard it was more or less the same, but I don't like how they have ads and would rather donate money to a dev making a new ROM here than someone making an SMS app.
Is it possible to back up all of my apps/data for them and then restore them when I get Infused running? I don't really want to have to go through and download all of my apps again.

You can use TB.

Awesome, thanks for your help!

I was having the same issue with Handcent and I'm using Infused 1.2.1. I got tired of dealing with having to reset all my setting and specifically the notification sound. I moved Handcent and all its plug ins onto the phone and it didn't fix the issue. Now I'm using SMS Go Pro and I haven't had any issues. It's just as customizable as Handcent IMO.

I'm using Infused 1.2.1 and I have it on the memory card and its working perfectly.

Go sms, handcent and sms pop up all reset after short while. I got fed up changing my fonts and settings and I don't use then anymore. Very frustrating.

Hmmm, interesting. I don't know how you have yours setup but it seems like you have it much like I had mine. Every time I would reboot, the icon would disappear from the dock. It also would arbitrarily change the notification sound to this weird long ass notification tone that I could not stand. I like Postbox not whatever the one it was selecting. I reflashed the ROM and wiped cache and it still did the same thing. No issues with SMS Go pro (for now) so I'm sticking with it.

I know this is a little old, but I was having issues with Handcent resetting all the time...here's how I fixed it. You have to be rooted...after you uninstall the app, go to the dbdata folder, then database. find the folder that is com.handcent, etc. Delete it, then reinstall the app. My bet would be everyone that's not having issues have only installed it once, and never uninstalled it.

I don't know about the settings on handcent but I use go SMS and it works awesome and is very customizable. Hope it helps.

handcent issue with gingerbread roms and refreshing

Does any one have these issues with all the gingerbread roms wiht underclock settings such as ICBINB and octaine rom?...basically whats happening is alot of times on handcent (text messaging app) when i touch the text i want to respond too it shows a dark black screen then goes back to the list of texts..i click on it again and it shows the same dark black screen..i keep doing it again and eventually it works..i notice this happens alot on low battery..also when i am on the web or text or something it takes awhile sometimes to refresh..the icons on my homepage take some time to appear..it would be nice if it was faster..

I have seen this same thing running Valhala 1.3.2. I never associated it with low battery. I'd usually either restart the phone which would fix it or just use the default sms app. I recently switched to Octane and so far haven't seen it in this ROM, but I've only been using it for 2 days.

Same thing is happening to me on valhalla 1.3.2

MMS Picture not displaying

Symptoms:
Receive a MMS picture message and the picture does not show (though it initially downloads the image). Under the stock messaging app, there is nothing. Under the Handscent app, it says "unable to display content" when there is no text. If there is text it shows the text conversation. I can however, under Handscent go into the menu/more/save mms and see the image there. I can send MMS picture messages just fine.
Setup:
CM9 Nightlies
I have tried wiping and resetting all the app cache, phone cache, etc. I have played around with the APN settings. Yes, for those that yell about searching the forums; I have been working on this for several days and nothing in the lists have resolved my problem.
Any thoughts on this issue?

Do you have the stock messaging app frozen or disabled? I had a similar issue and resolved it by unfreezing/"thawing" in TB and enabling, then just turning off notifications in the stock app settings so it doesn't duplicate the notification since you're using a different SMS/MMS app.

Thanks! I froze then defrosted the default app and now it works. I have spent way too many hours trying more complicated solutions. Thanks again!

Does this apply if i'm using only the stock app too?

It should. My understanding is that by freeze/defrost, you reset the application locks or something to that effect. It doesn't hurt to try it and see how it works.

Text messaging app crashes. No memory...?

So judt recently my messaging app has started to crash. I used verizon messages and it said device low on memory and constantly crashed.
My text messages in handcent and the default messaging app don't even show up sometimes.
Any thoughts? Thanks

Anyone have any clues? I even wiped and factory reset. I think it started again afrer I downloaded some apps from the market.
