[Q] missing contacts-anyone else? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

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!

Dialer Applications

Hey Everyone,
Just wondering what everyone is using as there Dialer??
The Stock one is quite sad considering that you have to click like a few times to call someone...
Is there a application out there that displays all your contacts and you just have to press once on the name to dial?? ( Not like MeContacts that only displays so many for speed dialing)
I was looking at Dialer one but can't seem to download it...seems discontinued or something...
Please give your preference and if you can, why you chose it.
Thank you all for your input.
Chad
check out superdial
There is 2 in the market place at the moment,
1 that is a paid version but says it's for chinese users but we can use it still and the 2nd one has bugs in it and isn't being continued?

me too looking for something like this , checked superdial, not so impressive though.
Check out Youlu. A number of Android sites have recommended it. I just installed it, and though it could use more options (such as disabling dial-sounds, and hiding of email-only contacts), it looks nice.
wow this is actually better than atakephone, i kinda regret paying for it now!
I always had hard time searching contacts to dial.
I used modified acontacts on my donuts. But im now using Dialer One.
It have call log, dialer. contacts at once. easy to use. and its Free
Try it

Going to try Youlu and Dialer one out right now and see which one I like better!
Another vote for Superdial. I've been using it for a few months now, can't live without it. It's definitely one of the best dialers out there.
My main concern is having quick and easy access to contacts without having to click through 17 menus to get to them. I simply start spelling the name of the contact and it appears, tap their name and it's calling. Takes a mere 2 seconds before I'm calling the person I want.

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] Galaxy S3 Messaging Help

I've got a Galaxy S3 here and for some reason when I try to send texts that are longer than one message and the phone has to send two out, it just won't send.
I just sits there with "sending" and then tells me that it failed to send.
I have to end up splitting the message up into 2 messages and send them separately.
I'm on Sprint and using the AOKP ROM.
Any help would be appreciated, because I have no ****ing clue what's going on.
I've tried researching my problem on Google but no one seems to have the same problem as me.

i believe it has something to do with the stock sms becuase this happened to me yesterday while sending a picture..also just check on your signal and if it happenes again try rebooting your phone ..i honestly dont know how else to help
Have you seen the options inside the stock messaging app?
There would/should/could be an option in there which would auto split messages longer than 160chars...
Check whether that's enabled...
"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you, Man and Knife"
Nope, no settings involving the 160 characters thing.
Are there any apps that I can download that can replace the stock Messaging app?
Might that work?

You could try...
Go sms or maybe handcent...
The custom cm7 rom that I use, has the option...I think that's where your problem is...

Can you manage a logcat?
"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you, Man and Knife"
I think handcent is probably the best alternative.
Also, see if that is listed as a bug in your ROM .

Samsung Galaxy S7 on Verizon - MMS won't work. Period.

I got the Galaxy S7 just over a week ago. MMS and picture text haven't worked from day one. Two days later I got Root. Still doesn't work. Went through every setting on every thread I could find. Flashed patches and fixes. Nothing. Tried multiple messaging apps, still get the same error "Invalid Destination Address". If it does accept a picture on a text, it shifts it to Group Conversations, but I can't send one. Period. I performed a full wipe and flashed a custom Rom. Still nothing. Has anyone found a real fix for this or is this a complete failure on Samsung's part? Thanks.

Did you receive and install your two configuration texts from your carrier?
If not, give them a shout and ask them to send you then, sounds like the settings just aren't in place
Might be able to do it from their site, some let you send the settings to your phone
I didn't receive anything from Verizon. I can't remember having to do that before. I was the last customer of the night when I left, my whole set up felt rushed and the phone didn't show service until the next morning. I know the APN settings aren't right. I'll again and see if I can get someone.
Thanks!!!
You could try setting it up manually too if you prefer

Thank you for both replies, when I called tech support and asked about this directly, they discovered my phone had not been properly activated, the woman had it fixed in two minutes. This was the problem. Thank you again!

Please see the difference in the messages received. My phone is the dark themed phone.
We are both using Pixel 2 phones.
I use fleksy keyboard.
I'm unsure of any other software/app differences

the message SHE sent me: "i'm probably going to have nightmares about you leaving me, but whatever."
btw i'm not leaving her, she's just being cute.
the message i received: "maybe you're secretly not using the condoms. i can't tell the difhatever."
As you can see her last word is 'whatever' and the last word i received is 'difhatever'..... which would seem like a hybrid of 'difference' and 'whatever. "maybe you're secretly not using the condoms. i cant tell the difference" may have been something texted, or said out loud - we had a related conversation but i dont think it was quite said that way. i cant recall.
Attachment: 02c.jpg
this conversation is a little more private. But you can see the same thing happening. On my app it deleted some of her text and replaced it with mumbo jumbo that was off topic and confusing. She reminded me that she was telling me about this ones before.
So... i assume the issue is on my phone on the way in... i say that because i've had this issue with someone who used an iphone. The other thing is, the words it chooses to add in are always words THEY would be saying, not me.
Can anyone explain why this happens? How can i fix it? what the hell?!
THANKS!!!
nobody has had this issue???? anyone know where i could ask about this kind of thing??
I have never in my life seen that. It could have been an error in transmission from her phone to carrier to your phone.
Does it happen all the time or was it a one off situation?

The second set of screenshots doesn't show a "word" being changed, the whole sentence is different and has more information in the statement. I think the person on the other end is altering their messages, such as typing then sending then interrupting during the sending process to edit the message then resending, it can be done with the right timing. Or maybe, they are sending messages to other people at the same time and the network is mashing them together on the way out somehow.
