Cab below!
It's discussed in this thread: HERE
Turns out its an issue with the htmlnote.dll file.
Thanks to all the help from everybody!
Cab replaces htmlnote.dll in the Windows directory with a friendlier one.
Both SMS and email work!
This has been a recent problem that's come up in many different threads but I still have yet to find a solution.
When selecting a message from the message tab in M2D the message is highlighted and you have to manually tap on the text box to start typing.
It's much easier to select the message and just start typing right away.
Is there a fix for this yet that I just can't find?

I've been looking as well, and I haven't come across anything.
Why you open this thread addition?
I've seen it within many different ROM's threads with no final answer or fix. I thought I'd try to collect it into one place since I know there are many different people with the same situation.
I have this bug to all of my roms and if you have this bug also if take from same contact more than 1 sms and you go to read it become "read it" only the final sms and the other 2 or 3 or more new sms from this contact stay "unread it" you must tap on sms to become "read it"
i searching for this bug if found something i will post it here..
also i have problem with power button issue
also perlyp have this 2 issue and chef of PDACorner..
I have the same problem. Also if I have an SMS thread open while receiving messages to the conversation. It does not mark them as "read" I have to open the conversation for each message received. If I have 4 SMS messages from the same number I should be able to open it once and have all messages marked as read in that conversation.
theres a temp fix for the unread sms issue. if u search for unread sms fix (i think thats what its called) ull find an exe that will fix that issue. u have to run it every time it happens but like i said its a temp fix. Ill post a link or the file when i get home.

thanks i found it. this site is great, filled with all kinds of info but sometimes it is hard to find.
**a side note the fix you suggested also fixed the original issue in this post.
why you so lazy
I think its just the problem with cooking process (you know blending sys and oem packages and stuff like that!). Some of the ROM's here do have that problem. Usually G's tend not to, but it all depends on the flavor of the day!

Loserskater, what app are you using for sms that this apply's to?
TW,
That fixed the SMS issue for me, however it seems to have broken e-mail. The read/unread icon doesn't display, and I can't open any e-mail or start a new message. Any ideas?

Funny you said that as i just checked and same here?
Please other peeps check your email amd see if it's broke, seems like even renaming htmlnote.dll to htmlnote.dllold so as the ROM recreates the file does not seem to fix it......
That's a shame, it got the SMS to work perfectly. Though I suppose that an annoyance with the SMS is better than completely broken e-mail. Seems like there must be a way to have both though.

"here goes another couple of hours of my life setting up device "
Hello Everyone
After google and exhausting all options I decided to post this.
When i'm receiving texts the reply's are popping up on top of my msgs
IE:
Reply would be "here"
and my original msg would be "here"
Originally it would be like this
Original Msg would be "here"
reply would be "here"
I look at the settings but doesn't indicate anything to correct this.
Please help..
What ROM are you running?
This seems to be a pretty common issue - I think I remember reading about how the timestamps are fubard from how they are received from AT&T.
You can see if the issue is repeated using a 3rd party app like ChompSMS or Handcent (my personal preference)
Haven't had the issue on my phone for quite some time now - but I've been running so many different custom ROM's and I switched to Handcent too.

Glad to hear, that I'm not the only one having this issue.
My Samsung Captivate was from Rogers. I loaded AT&T Rom from an accident when i was trying to load a Froyo but loaded AT&T(2.1.1) instead. Currently I'm using Cognition v2.8b as my ROM now.
Which didn't really cure the problem. I download Chompsms and hope for the best..
i think there is a small program to fix that, im dont remember the name right now ... i remember the app icon having a band aid
I have looked all over and can't find a fix that is for the mesmerize! That or I just don't know what I'm doing I guess.. lol
When I get an MMS the phone compresses it down to a small picture. It looks fine on the phone, but terrible on the computer screen!
Can anybody please help me? Its driving me crazy!!
Thanks!

send it via email. MMS compresses the picture for space to allow the file to send faster.
MMS wasn't really designed for large screens (i.e. a computer) it is for phone-to-phone messaging where the compression you're referring to wouldn't be very noticeable. If you're sending something to someone (or yourself) to be viewed on a computer, send it via email like akellar said. By the nature of Android, you already have a Gmail account on your phone, so you've got no reason not to.
I'm pretty sure USC has a limit on the file size of MMS too - so it may not be possible to attach a picture with a large resolution.

I thought so, too, but according to USCC's FAQ, it's 5MB, or I'm looking at the wrong place?
8. What are the size limitations for picture and video messages?
Picture and video messages sent between handsets are only limited by the phone model. For videos, 15 seconds is a good rule of thumb for maximum length.
Incoming picture and video messages from email are limited to 5MB.
For emails greater than 5MB: If an email is sent to a Picture and Video Messaging phone that exceeds the 5MB limit, the person sending the email will receive a 'Message Failure' email to indicate that the message is too large and therefore was unable to be sent. Users can check the total size of the email being sent to help predict if the email will exceed this limit.
For emails less than 5MB: Email messages less than the 5MB limit will be reduced to a size the phone can handle. The conversion process will lessen the quality of the picture or video along with the file size.

Although it says "email" in the quoted text, it is in the section for "Picture and Video Messaging" which it calls MMS toward the top of the section.
*shrugs*
It's not USCC compressing it, it's the phone. My wife's Blackberry sent pictures full resolution to my Blackberry. Now her same phone still sends it full rez, but my phone compresses it.
There are fixes for other phones to allow them full rez, I'm looking for one for this phone!
Thanks all
Have you tried using other SMS applications such as GO SMS or Handcent?

Yes, I've tried GO SMS and am currently using Handcent and it makes no difference. Thanks for the idea tho!
The mms can be modified to send full supported res of the phone. Then possibly receive also. But it depends on the phone the mms was sent from. Also us cellular has a 1mb limit.
Edit: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16907924/Mms.apk Dowload that and use root explorer to move it to system/app. Though make sure you force stop and clear the data for the stock mms in applications. I pulled that out of gas's rom but should work in mine and pick and pack if it is the ee19 mms. Enjoy

Thank you!! Ok, I downloaded that and got it put in the system/app folder on my stock USCC ee19. I rooted it, then used root explorer. It didn't work! Do I need one of the other ROMs to make it work? If so could you please tell me exactly how?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm just learning this!! I did use odin to flash back to stock 2.1 a month ago, but then used Kies to go to the newest 2.2 this week.
Thanks!
What rom you on? If stock ee19 it could be because you had odex files. I only mess with apps that aren't.
As for not working what do you mean by this? The app doesn't work or still the same issue?

Sorry, I meant still the same issue. I'm running the stock ee19 just released this past Tuesday. Sorry, I don't know what odex is?
Thanks for helping a newb!
Um the odex files is hard to explain but a google search will give you quicker better results than me trying to explain it. As for having the same issue I am not sure.
As the only settings are for sending a message. Which I changed. But if it is getting a picture. It depends on the phone that is sending it. As when a picture is sent every android resizes it. Along with dumb phones.
The only phone I know first hand that doesn't do this is the desire. Which would only be one on cm, possibly some on aosp roms. Then ones on the roms I did.
Using the HTC email app, no links are ever parsed. They just appear as standard, un-clickable text. I even tried forward/replying messages to see if they would appear as links there but they don't.
Does anyone else have this issue and/or a suggested fix? Thanks!

I am not, though I would love to be! (I am reticent to root my device, however.) I am running Apex, however, and perhaps this is related to the issue?
Thanks for the reply. Any further thoughts would be very much appreciated.
Well, apparently, I am not the only one experiencing this. Had not yet found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639865
Does anyone have any idea why links would not be recognized as such?
i was having problems until i changed the maximum receive settings to max, and things started working much better. HTML emails that did not open correctly began opening and prompting for image downloads as expected.

Thanks! I tried the "max" setting and this didn't resolve the issue.
However, our problems are different as HTML email display has never been a problem (and I am always prompted to download images)--my issue is that links do not parse in plain-text emails.
links in email are not hyperlinked
I am having the same problem. Hyperlinked words (seem) to be clickable and work fine. However, some emails I get where the address is typed out like the following (for example):
h t t p s://w w w. dropbox.c0m/el/?r=/link/65.Zf7E33Qbpe...
They look like regular text and are not highlighted, much less clickable.
Other times, I get emails with only the following in the body of the email:
"Please view the HTML of this email to see the message".
I'm going nuts because there is no HTML or anything to click on, let alone any kind of message. I've checked settings and nothing there is absolutely nothing to clue me into what might be wrong or how the situation can be resolved.
I'm not referring to the groupMe app, because they'd also have to install that.
I've tried Go SMS, pansi SMS, chomp SMS, and they don't seem to do it perfectly.
When I receive a group text from an iphone user, I want it to make a new thread with all members of the group text, where I can seamlessly respond to all users. Moreover, the stock app does this in a way that my response is not received as a group text on their end, but simply a message to them (as well as whoever else was in the group). Thus, the response goes into our 1v1 chat thread.
All I want is a plugin, rom, app, anything that solves this ridiculously frustrating issue.
I'd like to know as well. I have not been able to find an easy way to do it. I'm guessing it's Apple hating on us Android folks.
GoSMS does it very well, subject to a few limitations, not sure why it is not working for you. A couple of things to keep in mind.
1) The proper threading is not native but is run after the fact. This requires that the message be fully downloaded before it is properly threaded. This can take 10-15 seconds, if you open the message during that time it will not thread correctly.
2) Unfortunately the app will notify you twice, once the original message is received, and once it is recategorized. I handle this by shutting of sound and vibration in the app and using Tasker instead. If two notifications arrive within 15 secs Tasker just ignores the second one.
From what I have been told Handcent will do something similar
The GoSMS / Handcent implementations are ****. Sorry, but they are.
I've heard tell that Android finally put native group SMS / MMS into Android 4.2, which will likely never come to our phone officially but hopefully we'll get some of the benefit at least as things trickle down in the development community.
I'm also trying to find a solution to this too and I'm always hoping that every update of Go Sms and Handcent fixes this feature. Like one of the previous replies above stated, GO SMS will give you double notifications. It's annoying because it slows down your phone if you get too many all at once.
I've found that Handcent works better than GO SMS because it only notifies you after the message has been downloaded and you don't get double notifications. However, it's still flawed because sometimes your messages hang and dont download properly unless you physically click download. Also, sometimes when you're sending a text and try to hit send, it looks like it sends but just disappears. If you wrote a long message, you would have to re-type it all over again and hope it sends correctly the second time.
If you install CM 10.1 (android 4.2.2), this group messaging feature is baked into the rom. This is probably the best experience I've had to get the group messaging to work. It works like how an iphone user would see it. However, CM 10.1 still has some minor glitches that made me temporarily go back to sense roms. With every nightly, things seem to be getting better though. I will probably try it again in a couple weeks.
Currently I'm back on Viper using Handcent.

I've been told before that SMS apps for stock Android won't work on Sense ROMs and vice-versa. No idea why or if that's really true.

I've successfully run a CM10.1 mms.apk in CM10, but I've never tried this with Sense. Do you know what ROM that mms.apk file you have is actually from? I know CM10.1's mms.apk is compiled to require a minimum of JB 4.1, but versions from other JB 4.2 ROMs might have possibly been compiled to require JB 4.2
FWIW: mms.apk file is normally located in the /system/app folder, which requires root permissions to move a file to. File permissions might also need to be modified. Sense doesn't normally has a mms.apk in there since the stock messaging app is built around Sense and I believe the name starts with "htc", but I would assume a new mms.apk would at least run. I'm not sure whether this file location and permissions are actually part of your problem
update -
I've tried the entire process of putting the app in system, setting permissions, and installing, rebooting etc. No avail. App still force closes as soon as it opens.
I think the problem is in fact something to do with sense. I deleted the old messaging app as well first but that didn't do anything either.
Damn.
4.2.2 MMS force closes on viper 4.1
I uninstalled all the htc language packs, htc messaging. Install mms.apk.
I can get the app open, change settings, type a message... But as soon as I add a recipient it force closes.
Since I can do the things I can with the app open seems as though it should be able to work
If there is anyone that wants to work on this? I don't want to bug Turge with it.
Which mms.apk did you install?

That is an mms.apk from an aosp ROM, I didn't mention that when I uploaded it. It won't work properly on a Sense ROM.
