Not really a Droid Charge question but my wife has sent two text messages in the past 2 days that I did not get. One has a small pic attached. I received messages before, between and after the missing messages and when she forward one of the missed messages, after I discovered things were missing, it came through fine.
Is there any way, or any place to look for missing messages or do they only exist on the sending device if delivery fails?
I'm on Tweaked 3.2 running Lazarus and this is the stock messaging app.
LÖL - just asked the same question in another thread. Use "Ghostly SMS" - it's on the Play Store, free & works amazingly well. No more missed SMSs...

Hey guys. So I was in terminal deleting the stock apps that I don't need to have and one of those apps which I deleted was the stock messaging app, I did this because I was using hancent. Well now I am not receiving text messages.
- It all started after I deleted the stock app, I am not sure if it started immediately after or a while after.
- I was using handcent and I noticed that I was getting the pop up received thing and the quick reply option but in the actual handcent app under each conversation the incoming message was not there.
- I then switched to chomp sms to see if that would fix it. Now I am not getting the quick reply popup message received (in chomp)
Are there any suggestions to fix this or knowledge about this topic? Do you need to have the stock messaging app inorder to have other messaging apps work correctly. Oh ya, outgoing messages are still being sent correctly.
Sorry guys wrong section I wanted to post in q n a
Yes it is needed for other apps, that is why they have you turn off Messaging's notifications- so they can give them to you instead. They just read what messaging gets, they don't actually get the messages
Hey guys, just got my inspire. I had a couple questions though. Everything i have a conversation with a person via sms, their names come out as NAME(M (XXX) XXX-XXX). Anybody know how to get the M (for mobile) and the number not to show up? It makes it look really cluttered.
second, i tried installing the gingerbread kb (not a fan of senses) and it keeps giving me a force close. any ideas?
I use handcent and it just has the person's name. Although when I look at my text conversations on the stock app it only has their name there too.
Get This from the market for the keyboard. Works great.
So, i've been using Handcent for a while now, and it has it's quirks, especially when you want to create custom tones for each sender.
An then i tried Pansi SMS, pretty new in the market, does what any other 3rd party sms app does, slightly easier when doing custom sms tones.
GOSMS is a no-go
ChompSMS, never tried it
Anyone has an opinion on which client they're using that does not lag when scrolling the conversations list? With the exception of stock app, that is.
The search for the perfect SMS app continues............
Why is GoSMS a no-go? I have 15000 messages on my phone in over 300 threads and there is not even the slightest lag on scrolling in the conversation list. Granted it is a not a "light" app but there isnt a performance issue and its very much bug-free.
In fact its the only sms client I have found that can support so many messages and not slow to absolute crawl just trying to start up.
i use go sms and i have about 6000 sms stored and no lag at all
i dont need custom ring tones or any of that other crap mind
i've never thought about using an other sms-client. what's wrong about the stock one? it scrolls also very smooth and is clean...
There's a few problems with the stock sms client compared to 3rd party ones. I use gosms because:
a) as mentioned above the stock app really doesnt handle a large number of texts well. It fails to start most of the time and can become very laggy when dealing with a large number of texts.
b) gosms supports emoji emoticons that are cross-compatible with iphone emoji emoticons.
c) ability to send to as many contacts in one go as you want without resorting to a modded stock app.
d) theme customisation.
e) able to have a custom ringtone and vibrate pattern for sms. I find this useful as I have my phone on silent most of the time and like the fact I can set gosms to do 4 short buzzes when I receive a text so I can differentiate between normal notifications (like facebook, email) and sms whilst it is in my pocket.
As I said I think my biggest issue with gosms is that it has too many features. I really dont want a chat client built in to my sms app, or the ability to lock it, have folders, see a list of all my contacts, message filter etc etc.
go sms was a no-go for me due to lag when i tried it about 4 months ago i think
maybe newer versions have improved
can you share what dpi you're on? i'm running at 240.
Currently on 320dpi because I'm back to using TouchWiz as I find the other launchers are still a little laggy compared to it.
I was using GoLauncher and GoSMS at 280dpi just a few weeks ago though and it seemed fine then. Im on LC1 stock deodexed. I advise you to be on one of the newer Samsung firmwares if you are not already. There was a huge performance jump between the K** based firmwares and the newer L** based firmwares.
i am on Chrack's LC1. May give GoSMS another...go.
So lately I've been having some annoying SMS/MMS issues that are starting to grind my gears and I'm starting to feel a bit of resentment over the phone.
I've been getting complaints of iPhone users receiving my SMS twice. I'm seeing that when this happens, I get a "message failed" error in other SMS apps other than the stock SMS app, and then it sends right away. This problem can be recreated on both the stock SMS app and Play Store apps.
I'm also getting this extremely annoying problem with MMS where I can't receive files bigger than 600 KB. I get the error "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." This is happening on a message over 800 KB.
Has anyone experienced these issues? Is this carrier related? I refuse to believe that my phone will not receive 1 MB or bigger MMS messages, as I'm sure it's quite capable of doing.
Also, does anyone have the APN for HSPA+ without LTE? I'm thinking maybe the SMS problem has to do with the network I'm operating on. Please advise.
Edit: the MMS limitation is due to the stock SMS application. the limit for files received is 600 KB while other applications can download well over 1.2 MB. My problem is solved, I'll have to find another viable SMS application.
Look at my thread about similar issues with sms. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656203

Hi,
Did you fix this issue with the recipient received your SMS 2 times?
I am using the stock app and never tried any Play Store app.
For me this happen to an Android Phone too.
Maybe your phone heard you were gonna take her back and now she's mad and is refusing to talk

My phone is send *and* receiving duplicate SMSes from iPhones. Very annoying.
Used to have problems
I used to have mms problems, but ever since i flashed the CleanRom 2.4 on my phone, everything has been peachy keen
coming from a heavily jailbroken iphone, I can say that I do love rooting a whole lot more. I love how android operates and is so similar to linux
OP, not sure which app you were using, but I know ChompSMS was producing the exact results you were reporting.
1) Multiple messages sent / SMS Failed etc. This will show up in both Chomp and the stock app. (FIXED by latest Chomp update!)
2) MMS Adaptation. I have found that this is specifically when iPhone users send you a screengrab of their display. Those are saved in .png instead of .jpg and do not share the same compression rate. Obviously you could just have a really big .jpg, but most likely it is the former.
3) General MMS issues. This will occur if you do not disable "Auto-retrieve" in the stock Messages app.
I know it's a week later, but hopefully this saves you a headache or trips to the AT&T store.
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

I was using stock messaging.

So Verizon just pushed an update to their Messages app, which was a great replacement for the stock messaging app for several reasons. Unfortunately, all of the color customization options and popup notifications have been removed. I have no idea why they would do that, but it's terrible! I'll still use it though because it handles MMS group texts (with iPhone users) very well, unlike the stock app.
Anyone else use this? Anyone else bummed out by the latest update/regression?

I would install it when I got group messages but i'd uninstall after.
The notifications/pop-ups can be turned off but the default notifications won't appear. It's nice and I wish other SMS apps/CM10 could handle or implement the group feature so I wouldn't have to download this app.

The pop-ups have been completely removed in the latest update, which was one of the major reasons to use the app!
I use group text a lot. I just got this GS3, so I'm still feeling it out. On my last phone (GS1), I used GoSMS Pro, which worked great except that I would get two notifications every time I got a group text. Once for recieving the text, and then another once GoSMS realized it's a group text and moved it into a group thread. That was annoying!
