humm, i dont think that normal, i want to know if go sms uses more than stock... because looks like surfing the web is better than texting.. i text a lot.
maybe because i dont have a amoled phone...

Go apps are crap. Stock messaging is the best.

Okayy i just like the pop up.
Will try one week without go sms and see

Use an aosp ROM with the message popup.

Browser Problems

About twice a day, when browsing with the default browser, it will lock up, give the one vibrate followed by two...stay locked up, do the vibration pattern again and then present a black screen. About two minutes later, it appears it rebooted but never showed the Samsung or AT&T logos...
Anyone else having this issue?

Has not happen to me.
It could have been the site you visited. Try Dolphin HD, much better than stock browser.

All of the Galaxy S phones experience this occasionally when viewing certain heavy websites like the pocketnow.com desktop site, especially if you get a few tabs going. Nice to see Samsung still hasn't fixed that. I suggest Opera Mobile.
I can vouch for the browser crapping out on any large website, this was one of reasons I switched from the captivate to the inspire. Used an infuse today and noticed the browser froze right away on anything with flash content.
I like the stock browser but I will try Opera Mobile for a while to see if it helps...it was my browser of choice on WM 6.5

If I remember correctly on my captivate there were a few development who had tweaked the browser.apk to fix rendering issues and freezing. Will have to go back and read changelogs on some of the custom roms

Yes...please let me know what you find out...this has been the only real complaint I have with this great phone...

This happened again today...on both of our phones...anyone else encounter this lately? It is starting to become a show stopper for us on this otherwise awesome phone!
I had the same problem. The stock browser is a RAM hog. Use opera mobile, much much better and faster!

Just use Dolphin browser, when out of ram it will not load new tab on the background unless you open the background tab,

Well here's my quandry... I like the stock browser and I didn't have this problem with my Captivate... I am just really hoping that we can find a solution for this. I did reset the browser back to default settings and so far in the past couple days this is not happened... I'm not saying it fixed it but I will monitor it for a few days.
Side note however..
How can I make one of the other browsers the default browser and also where do I go to reset that back to the stock browser?
Thanks...

If you're having problems with the stock browser just switch to an alternative like dolphin or firefox etc. Many improvements over the simple UI and limited functionality of the stock browser anyway.

I'm trying something different now... I think I was on wi-fi each and every time that the browser locked up the phone and rebooted... I am going to try to keep it off of wifi for a few days and do regular browsing see what happens

It is quite annoying and honestly unacceptable... using another browser is only a bandaid... this needs to be made loud and clear to at&t and samsung... there is a problem here...

Mms pictures

Why do all my mms pictures that people send me have a big play button over it? Is there a way to remove this? I've been in a jailbroken iPhone for a long time and this is my first android any help would be greatly appreciated
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
click on the picture should enlarge it.
Come on man I realize that. I was just hoping there was a way to remove the play button from a picture. I could understand it being there on a video but not a pic.

Hey thanks for the tip go SMS seems to be a nice upgrade to the stock App. And no more play sign!!!!!

LOL its cool. it really doesnt bug me. well no it doesnt lol i mean i still have to click it to make enlarge.
This problem plagues tons of android 2.2.x devices...captivate and atrix included. They located the problem and patched it in CM7 for SGS. When we get it ported, the problem will go away.

Does anyone have problems receiving MMS pictures from iPhone users?? I tend to get a long message saying "one or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal."
I used to get a similar message on the Atrix. Why the hell does this happen??
Not an Android issue, it's AT&T wanting to give you a "multimedia experience" which annoys the hell out of me. Once the ROMs come out, it'll be gone. It was the same with the HTC Aria, Samsung Captivate, and HTC Inspire 4G... With my last phone, Inspire 4G, any rom applied broke the play-button thing, so photos just showed up like on normal phones.
Why must AT&T try to get their hands all over everything? It's so annoying.
First thing I did when I got my phone was delete the stock samsung mms app and replace it with the stock aosp mms app
I use SUFBS but root explorer does the same....

Pics turn multimedia?

Can someone please advise how to make my pics I receive via text to not run as a 5 second video? I'm not sure what I did but I'm certain it didn't do this initially.

Are you using stock messaging app or something else? Which ROM?
my mms have been doing this since android 1.1
yeah.
This is how the GSM network sends Android MMS'. If you find a friend with a Sprint or Verizon CDMA Android device, you'll see it just sends as a photo. Crazy, huh?
Actually I believe this is how Samsung devices handle it. Although I can speak for cdma devices, I know my atrix and nexus one didn't do this. Its just houw the stock app works. If you use a different app like go SMS the problem is gone.
I like the landscape view in the stock app which is why I didn't make the switch myself.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yes I'm using the stock ROM and the original mms app. I guess perhaps it did this since day one but I'm realizing it now lol. Appreciate your responses and I may try a different mms app.

Text issues stock rooted

My gf is having some issues with her new blaze.
I rooted it for wifi tethering and tom remove some bloat.
Besides that it's stock everything.
Her issue is when texting, sometimes the text disappears and she can continue to type or delete but that text remains invisible until you back out the stock messaging app and go back in.
Any thoughts on this?
Anyone else get this issue?

are you using the stock msg app? have you applied any themes? i use handcent for my texting, it works way better than stock. i remember something a while back (on my vibrant) about text dissappearing and i dont recall exactly what it was but i think it had to do with a theme or font pack making text white... if that helps any.

group text?

This would be an epic milestone If this was baked into CM. I am so tired of using the Verizon version of SMS due to the fact it is so fugly!!! I've tried all of the third party SMS apps available and Verizon's works almost perfectly but it really is ugly.
I am surprised Google hasn't addressed this short coming with its own SMS app.
Please keep this alive!!!

What third party app do you guys suggest?

I am a big fan of Groupme. You can use the app, have messages text to you, or use the web client. The only bad thing is you kind of have to get everyone you want to message on board.
