[Q] Hidden Sender address Txt Message can't be deleted. - Verizon Droid Charge

I have two text messages from a Hidden sender address <subject: new message>. Both have a button next to them that says "Download".
I tried deleting them using the stock sms application but that causes the app to force-close. I downloaded a third party app and tried to delete them with the same results.
Next I tried booting into recovery and wiping dalvic cache. The two messages are still there.
Can anyone help!

which third party sms app? if it wasnt handcent, try getting that and long press>blacklist

which ROM you using?

I'm using Verizons new update FP1 Deodexed/Debloated/rooted with Eclipse AOSP apps.
I did see the option to blacklist but that doesn't delete the text messages it simply hides them. There still there I know because the stock app can still see them.
I just tried clearing the messaging apps data using the task manager. Those zombie txt still won't die.

Just delete all the messages, don't do one by one.

Solved
I rebooted into recovery and wiped data then restored everything but text messages using titanium backup.

Captivate refuses to send my Email through the Gmail app

I have 2 emails that just sit there with "Sending..." showing. These are small emails. Damn Gmail app refuses to send them. I am on 3g and I am also on Wireless. Neither works.
Anyone else have this issue. I am on some older version of SRE but the stock ROM.
i am having the same issue also with a older SRE root....anyone help?!
it is also not deleting the email from my inbox if deleted on phone
Open Settings, Applications, Manage Applications. Press the Menu button and choose Filters, then All. Look thru the list for Gmail and click it. Clear the cache and data. Do the same to Gmail Storage. Then try again.

Contact names don't show up?

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.

[Q] unread count using Gmail app

When i pull up my Gmail app in which i have 2 accounts...it gives me an incorrect number alot of times of how many new emails i have in there. Its not just emails i have missed way down the list either. i can log onto my account from a computer and they will be right there. its like when i delete them from the app it takes them off the list but doesnt always really delete them.
Is there a way i can fix this? or do you guys recommend the stock "email" app vs the "Gmail" app?
both accounts are Google based.
Thanks.

Try resetting your gmail app by wiping its data.

[Q] Gmail App Problems

Every now and then my Gmail App completely freezes. I force stop it and then when I reopen the app, it works for a few seconds and then freezes once more. The only solution I have found so far is to reboot my TF300.
I'm not rooted and I'm running firmware .29.
Any suggestions?
No issues with GMail here, try clearing data?
Did you mean clear the cache, or clear data? Clearing the data is a little more annoying to recover from. lol

Yeah data, as its GMail and synced it should to rebuild the mail db files.
I actually prefer the email app that came with it, I can't stand Gmail's grouping all the mail together (conversation mode).

I have no luck with Gmail app.
I tried clear cache already. But it will force close very frequency. If there is any way to fix it?
Thanks
