[Q] Galaxy S3 Messaging Help - General Questions and Answers

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 .

Auto Retry Reply??

Maybe this isn't such a prominant issue for some... but Whenever I'm at home.. I have to deal with the worst reception ever... its a pain having a conversation with anyone or even trying to text... (although once i leave my parking lot.. i get 3g network speeds... which i find ridiculous..... ) but either way...
there are times when my text... doesn't go through.. and this little alert comes up and a exclamation point pops up by the message itself... now i have to keep on clicking that message and hitting "retry" retry retry retry... until it actually goes through...
my question is... is it even possible to have some sort of app... that makes a unsent sms just automatically keep trying until it actually gets sent?? without me constantly pushing it?? it would be nice to just send a text.. and just know that if it doesn't go through.. that it will just keep trying until it succeeds....
anyone else thinks that this would be handy??
YES!! This would be amazing... but I have hunted and waited and hunted some more and this app doesn't seem to exist.
i feel the same way... and I'm glad you agree... i honestly thought i was the only one... but yea i know its something that could be developed quite easily.. I'm just not talented enough unfortunately
Yeah... I would think that it would be something like turning the message delivery notification off. So, instead of a message delivery notice, the program would keep resending until prompted of delivery. It would proberly be something that would require a lot of work, though because it would need to be embedded in the sms program. I tried Pyrobob's sms and it did give me a popup that said, "retrying" when a message failed, but I have a Fuze, use wm6.1 (personal preference), and didn't like it. Meh... maybe we are closer than we realize to getting what we want
Hey guys!
Maybe this registry entry here is what you're looking for?
It's in HKLM\... (the rest is on the screenshot)

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.

[Q] missing contacts-anyone else?

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

Wow thats some crazy hit.. Gotta be real damn careful what u text lol.
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!

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!

Question iPhone users not receiving my Google messages text

I've had this issue where iPhone users are not receiving my text messages. More specifically, they are not receiving sms that i sent through my Google messages. If i send an MMS message ( either with a picture or by adding a subject line) then they will receive it. I can receive and view their messages but they can't see my sms messages.
I have the unlocked variant of the s22 Ultra with a T-Mobile US sim card. I feel like I'm the only one with this issue.
Things i have tried:
-Reset all network settings
-changing "Access Point Name" settings
-Turned off Google messages chat feature
+Worked with an iPhone user to to change
their settings for my phone settings.

I really don't know what else to do. Is there a way where it can automatically only send text as MMS? Any other fix?
Do you have chat features enabled? If so it's it green text that says connected?

I originally had the chat feature on (because i thought this was the problem) but since trying to troubleshoot, I've turned it off.
Have you tried the Samsung Messages app?

What phone did you come from?
skylinegtr116 said:
I did this, I deactived my number from imessages . Since I transferred everything over I deleted all the conversations I previously had on my s22. That seems to do the trick for me now I don't have issues with iPhone users.

Problem seemed to start on my s21 ultra ( that i noticed) then jumped into the pixel 6 pro, it still happened there. Now i have the s22 Ultra.
I never had an iPhone to be able to delete anything from imessage. So that's kind of odd for me.
Was on chat for 2 hours with my carrier (T-Mobile) and they said it was an iPhone issue. That the fix would need to be on all of the individual iPhones that I'm having issues with. I guess i won't be contacting those people anymore.
