[Q] SMS Limit again...

I just switched from the Motorola Atrix 4G Unlocked/Rooted and used several different custom ROMS. When I got this phone I was able to easily remove the SMS limit with elitebomb app....
However....
Yesterday I bought a Samsung Infuse 4g. I rooted and installed elitebomb app the button for removing the limit is grayed out. I am definantly rooted...
Any Ideas?

**** you must really text a lot if you worried about sms limit.

I have 30 to 40 guys that work for me on any given day. I communicate with them by texts...i easy go over 100 in an hour.

SMS limit? make sure that either delete old messages i checked or just not checked at all. if it not checked it will not delete them and that is why it is greyed out. if you check it off it gives you the option to choose after how many to start delete

The SMS limit i am talking about is the amount of text you can send per hour. I am not sure on the Infuse how many it is but the limit on my Atrix was 100, it was easily removed with elitebomb.
On the Infuse I have not been able to remove it at all.

Since when has there been a limit on how many you can send? I text like a monster and have never encountered this demon you speak of.

The setting you are referring to is how many messages you can keep in one conversation.

Text messages not being sent

Is anyone else having a problem with text messages not being sent? Im using handcent and every so often a message will show the spinning icon indicating that its being sent. It just keeps spinning and spinning. When I open the stock messaging app and check the status of the message it says it was sent right when I had originally tried to send it through handcent. The person I send the message to never gets the message though.
Has anyone else had this problem? Am I going to be stuck using the stock app?

I had this problem, went back to the stock app, but it only happens when I'm at work and I go in the basement and then come out, because of the reconnecting to data bug I have to restart my phone or it won't get data, send texts or anything, I usually take my 4s to work

I've had this problem as well. Sometimes i send the message again and that solves the problem. I am not rooted and still using the stock ruu. I'm hoping it's just due to a connectivity bug that will be remedied in the OTA update...if it ever comes.

Same here. Failed messages, failed notification, dropped signal etc etc. Hoping the official OTA fixes all of that soon.

My phone is having this same problem, except it's a little worse. The phone reports the SMS as not sent but it still reaches its destination, so I'll have iPhone users getting 2-4 copies of one text. Embarrassing.

Thanks for the replies guys. Although Im glad to hear that its not just me (I can avoid requesting a replacement) it still sucks and I too hope it gets fixed with an update.

I'm hoping that this is a software issue, because my 30 days are up in a few days and they're out of stock.. because I have this same exact problem.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

When you sent the message with handcent, did you happen to reply with the pop up reply box?
I use go sms and had the same issue where text were not being sent. But it only happens if I reply from the pop up notification. If I text from within the go sms app, I can text perfectly fine. I love the pop up reply so that I don't have to exit an app to reply, especially with the strict app management on the hox.

Last time it happened, I had sent a text from within the app. I installed go sms also, but I really want to use Handcent. I love that I can reply using the popup on handcent without unlocking my screen. I cant do that with go sms.

Another +1 on this. Occasionally have the problem with SMS, but often have this issue with MMS. Problem is, on my end, everything appears to be fine and that the message was sent, but the recipient is not receiving. I verified this by sending multiple SMS and MMS messages to my wife's phone, some of which were received, some of which were not received.

I have been having this problem also, both using the HTC SMS messenger and Hand cent SMS. Also lose signal from time to time for no reason. I think I'll just get a new phone before the 30 day mark.

It appears to be an issue with all 3rd-party SMS apps.
That said, ChompSMS seems to have identified the problem and resolved it completely. Ever since the last update I've had zero problems with SMS.
So, other apps should hopefully update soon too, or you can switch to Chomp.

Thank you for that information. Im going to try ChompSMS because this is one problem that I can not deal with and if it doesnt stop happening I will have to return my phone and thats something I really dont want to have to do.

I had completely forgotten about chomp. Thanks for reminding me. I started using it and while I still get messages not sending if I reply to a text from the pop up notification, it doesn't do it nearly as much as go sms. With go sms, the message not sending would happen one after another but not with chomp. And even though I don't like the sound, I've set chomp to make a sound after a successful sent message so at least I can tell if my message has sent without having to open the app.
Thanks again for mentioning chomp

SMS not sending from hancent
Having exactly the same problem..
I use Handcent and usually reply from the popup;
but I'm not sure if that's the cause of it not sending the SMS.
I've had the same problem on my old HTC desire.
This is making my GF very angry from time to time

I have the exact same issue i use Go SMS and i hit send but it never does instead it shows the little arrow that represents sending and it never finishes

I have this issue with all my MMS. They never send on first try.

Did anyone ever find a permanent fix for this. Go sms works better then others for me, but is in no way as reliable as it should be.
Is this a problem for every owner of the HOX or just some phones? Not sure if I should get a replacement.

[Q] CMAS interpreted as SMS

For the past few months I've been receiving garbage texts. Random characters at seemingly random times, but when they start coming in they're pretty constant.
Until recently I just figured this was some sort of spam or exploit that didn't work with my phone.
It wasn't until this tremendous thunder storm that I put two and two together. Myself and co-worker both have Nexus S 4Gs. We hear each other complaining about the texts at the same time. Found some other Sprint users that had alerts going off. Weather alerts. At the same time as the other 4G owner and I were receiving texts. Turns out Sprint turned on CMAS (Commercial Mobile Alert Service) and modded phones, or the 4G in general has no idea what to do with them.
Is anyone else having this issue, any ideas on how to block texts without sender information?

I started receiving these a couple weeks ago. The sms blocker apps from the market combat them pretty well.

I just got my wife a refurbished Nexus S and she has been having the same issues occasionally. Often they were within other normal messages in a thread! First I thought it might be the app Handsent which I had installed for her, but even after uninstalling it kept going. I have never had these in many Photon, so I'm a bit at a loss!!
Any ideas what it could be. My wife wants me the verify that the phone I'd working ok!

Resent messages

How come when I turn my phone off, people I have been texting will receive messages from me that they have already sent? Sometimes it will be 15 messages at a time. And they aren't messages that werwnt sent before because they come up as sent on my phone and the person also receives them. It typically happens when I turn my phone off, and the people I text the most will receive the most messages. Any ideas? And how can I fix it?

What network are you on, are you rooted, and are you using a particular ROM?
Has this always happened?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using Tapatalk 2

I'm on T-Mobile, and no I am not rooted and not on a custom Rom. Im not exactly sure if it has been happening since I got the phone but it has been happening for a good amount of time now
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using Tapatalk 2

Do you receive notification that the duplicate messages have been sent? Or can you see the message duplicates from your sent messages (seeing the same message more than once)? Finally, are the messages duplicating the same message, or a series of different messages?
Edit: I would call T-Mobile and have them perform an over the air activation to re-establish your tower connection completely. If that doesnt work then have tech support file a ticket. It sounds like your messages are getting "stuck" on the network. Since tickets take 2-3 days to resolve, go ahead and get it started. I dealt with this a lot at my previous job (AT&T), mostly with MMS though.

No i do not receive notifications but i can see the duplicates from my sent messages. And the duplicates will be several different messages, typically the more recent messages

What's up with whatsapp?

Has anyone been having issues with whatsapp this week? I'm constantly getting delayed messages (30-45 mins late). Its so bad that my outgoing messages will go out and then suddenly I get messages from 20 mins ago so the conversations are mixed up. This is happening to me and my wife who is out of the country right now and several of her family members too. Just wondering if any of you guys are seeing the same behavior as well. I've searched Google for any news about this, checked their twitter, etc but can't find anything about any issues.
Thanks!

No, no such issue. It does sometimes take a while to send (even on 60Mb internet), but nothing that dramatic...
Could be the new update from 01 Juli. I've had it happen with a previous update a few months ago. Seems there are more people with recent functionality issues since the new update. (Play reviews) It's why I put off updating untill it starts whining about it, I'm still on the previous update.

Thank you! I didn't think to check the play reviews. Yep, a fair number of people saying the same thing.

If you continue to have issues with whatsapp I recommend using viber as an alternative, it's essentially the same thing but better quality servers in my opinion. You can even make free calls internationally.

thats not actually a solution bro
Sent from my Canvas 2 using xda premium

Yeah its not. I already convinced everyone to move to whatsapp from kik, plus my wife can't sign up for viber right now since she is out of the country and using a local SIM.
Having said that, the fact that viber syncs with a desktop app gives me tons of incentive to switch chat programs again. That's always been my one complaint about whatsapp. I hate being at work and having to pull out my phone to message people when I have a full keyboard sitting right there in front of me. This will be a godsend assuming I can convince all my people to switch yet again.
