On the lockscreen, on the second slide down thing there is an ! with unknown beside it. After you unlock the phone you can't find that notification any where!
Already checked the notification bar and went and cleared the ram. Still the same. Does anyone know what it is trying to tell me or how to clear it?
I have factory reset the phone one time and it went away, but then came back in a day.
That's where the date goes. I see "unknown" there occasionally. I assume that this is because the phone hasn't gotten the date from the cell network yet, but still has the time cached internally. For me, it generally goes away after a bit.
The one time it didn't go away fairly quickly was when I had Handcent SMS installed and had configured my phone to use it and it's notifications, generally disabling the stock Messaging app and it's notifications. It stayed "unknown" while I had Handcent installed. When I removed Handcent and turned the stock SMS app back on it went back to showing the date.
I didn't test this rigorously, and have no idea if it's causal or just a coincidence. Has anyone else observed behavior like this?
thanks
I'm sure that it's handcent then, I haven't uninstalled it yet. But I bet that's it.
Thanks for the reply. Contacted handcent support about the bug.
I don't think its a handcent issue. I've had the same problem. The only way I got it to go away was to open the stock messaging app and view my last conversation. Then its off the lock screen. Try that. If it works for you...its an issue with stock software. I've had a fewb problems with the stock app. Wish I could just remove it lol

Found it
It seems if you turn off notifications in the Stock messaging app it gets cranky.
I turned them back on and it shows the time on the bottom lock screen.
I then went back and turned them back off and the time stayed, we'll see how long.
This is beyond annoying.
Screenshot, please?
Happns 2 me too glad 2 know I am not alone...

i think that this is a common thing, whenever i dont check my text msg or randomly click the power button, i would see the "!" at the bottom screen..dont know why
I had this problem too on my Sidekick 4G. I am using Handcent but I don't know if that's the cause for me.
What I did to solve this problem: I went into the stock messaging app, into the menu, where I chose "Browser Message". (This menu option is not always present, but apparently shows up when you get a message from your cell carrier.) There was one message listed, and I deleted it. After that, my lock screen displayed the date again.
When you get mms messages, it goes to the stock messaging app as well, so just go in the stock messaging app and view it in there and it will go away. Or, before your SD card loads, messages will go straight to the stock messaging app. Just view all your threads in there, click each one, and the unknown will go away.

I just got my Infuse on thursday and installed the Refuse mod on Friday, then over the weekend I installed Handcent SMS to replace the default messaging app.
It works great and all, except it doesn't save it's settings. Sometimes it will keep the last settings it had, but other times it just randomly decides it wants to pretend like I've never ran it and delete all of it's settings and shows me the release notes when I open it.
Is there anyway to get this to stop?
It happend to me too. If its a big deal to you I use infused and it dosnt do it.

Well I guess I'll switch to Infused then. I like how you can theme Handcent and customize it a lot. I tried chompSMS since I heard it was more or less the same, but I don't like how they have ads and would rather donate money to a dev making a new ROM here than someone making an SMS app.
Is it possible to back up all of my apps/data for them and then restore them when I get Infused running? I don't really want to have to go through and download all of my apps again.
You can use TB.

Awesome, thanks for your help!
I was having the same issue with Handcent and I'm using Infused 1.2.1. I got tired of dealing with having to reset all my setting and specifically the notification sound. I moved Handcent and all its plug ins onto the phone and it didn't fix the issue. Now I'm using SMS Go Pro and I haven't had any issues. It's just as customizable as Handcent IMO.

I'm using Infused 1.2.1 and I have it on the memory card and its working perfectly.
Go sms, handcent and sms pop up all reset after short while. I got fed up changing my fonts and settings and I don't use then anymore. Very frustrating.

Hmmm, interesting. I don't know how you have yours setup but it seems like you have it much like I had mine. Every time I would reboot, the icon would disappear from the dock. It also would arbitrarily change the notification sound to this weird long ass notification tone that I could not stand. I like Postbox not whatever the one it was selecting. I reflashed the ROM and wiped cache and it still did the same thing. No issues with SMS Go pro (for now) so I'm sticking with it.
I know this is a little old, but I was having issues with Handcent resetting all the time...here's how I fixed it. You have to be rooted...after you uninstall the app, go to the dbdata folder, then database. find the folder that is com.handcent, etc. Delete it, then reinstall the app. My bet would be everyone that's not having issues have only installed it once, and never uninstalled it.
I don't know about the settings on handcent but I use go SMS and it works awesome and is very customizable. Hope it helps.

I've used GoSMS for some time now. I love that i can customize it to my hearts desire and that it has a lot of themes. I ran it on GB with no issues. But I've tried several ICS ROMs and they all seem to cause lag and freezes. Fort some reason the pop up function and the app are not in synch. One is faster or slower than the other causing the app to freeze and force close on occasion. Has anyone had this problem?
Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I use it with superlite 5.0 and have none of the problems you are having. You could try fixing the permissions via CWM or trying a cache/dalvik wipe. I would bet fixing your permissions would solve it.
Haven't had that problem but just had to delete gosms today because NO texts were going through. The second I deleted the app everything started again. Also when pressing on a contacts picture to call, numbers don't show up only what seems like code does.

I am using GO SMS with ICS stock leak and all is fine. Messages recieve and send normally. MMS is the same as well, all working correctly. I am also using the GO EX Launcher. Not sure if the two in conjunction with each other makes it more stable and usable or not though.

I used it with the stock ICS leak and Cool Ice mod and both had issues with the pop up message feature. I'd reply to a message and all was normal. Hours later I got no responce back and checked my texts to find nothing was ever set.
I suspect it may also have been a system SMS problem on mine as well though, even with GoSMS gone i would have constant missing messages, force closes, send errors etc..
I am running Sense Team Perfection, with Go Launcher and Go SMS. I have no issues with MMS or SMS.
Any chance of getting a logcat of errors for what people are having issues with? It might not even be GoSMS that is having issues...

I am having the same exact issues with my phone.
my phone is not rooted, its running the stock ICS, AT&T update.
I installed go sms and disabled the notifications in my regular messaging application, and now I receive no notifications in go sms unless I am in the actual program and it is running.
any ideas or advice?
i was running gosms on skyICS 4.2F6-2.0B and it worked fine. the only issue i had was on ocasion i would get double notifications. (stock sms and go sms) but everything else worked great.
I believe that gosms runs in the background all the time so i ended up deleting it. but that might be the reason for not recieving texts. Did you check in the advanced settings to see if there was a run in background option?

I just went in and found that feature to "Enable GO SMS run persistently" was checked. Still having the issue.
Im using go sms pro with Apex Launcher on stock ICS 4.0.4, no problems at all & the themes work just fine.

Go SMS working fine on my SR with 4.0.4, although I don't recommend the Go Launcher - seems like a waste of system resources to just get some neat home screen transitions that result in lag and hang-ups elsewhere. Love the customization of Go SMS, and it just feels more robust overall than stock SMS/MMS and other replacement apps. Got to be careful though, if you freeze or disable the stock app, MMS can start acting wonky and it may effect other functions also. Best solution is to set Go SMS as the default app and turn off the stock app's notifications so you don't get duplicates.
Would also recommend MightyText, which works fine with Go SMS (and better in my opinion than the Go SMS Web SMS feature), so you can text from a remote web browser.

Yes, stock rooted. I uninstalled Go Launcher & the only Go products that I am using now, are Go Sms & Go Locker (Go locker is not letting me change anything without reinstalling the launcher).

Go Launcher kept crashing and making my phone lag so I am only running Go SMS. I have GO SMS set as the default, the stock SMS app notifications are all turned off as well. Still no clue.
I find that I am able to receive messages with notifications while I am in GO SMS, but if I happen to force quit, its like ICS stops it from running in the background. Which was never the case on GB.

Ahh I see. Man I can figure this thing out, I have changed every setting, reinstalled GO SMS multiple times and still no solution. I mean I have literally changed everything. Ever since this ICS update I have had nothing but issues.
I noticed that it was very slow after I did the 4.0.4 update. Hope someone figures it out, I sent a message to Go...

I keep trying new sms replacement apps and i really liked gosms and handcent but i have a glitch with them that i cant seem to fix
whenever i open the app i get a notification for a message that ive gotten months ago and already deleted long ago, when i swipe it away or click on it it goes away then comes back again as soon as i open up gosms or handcent but i never get this notification in my stock text app, and i can never get it to stop appearing in any other text app, ive tried as many different settings as i can in the new apps, and tried erasing all my messages, cleared my stock sms app and turned of stock notifications but still getting the notification returning, any ideas?
I have the same problem on my Nexus with ICS 4.0.4
Maybe its just a problem for nexus s w 4.0.4 cause ive tried them before when i had gingerbread and 4.0.3 and had no problems
I also had that problem.
Perhaps clear data on the stock messaging app? Maybe even delete the db associated with it? I would search up on that though as I'm just assuming it will automatically recreate it. I'm also not sure of the name of the file.

Symptoms:
Receive a MMS picture message and the picture does not show (though it initially downloads the image). Under the stock messaging app, there is nothing. Under the Handscent app, it says "unable to display content" when there is no text. If there is text it shows the text conversation. I can however, under Handscent go into the menu/more/save mms and see the image there. I can send MMS picture messages just fine.
Setup:
CM9 Nightlies
I have tried wiping and resetting all the app cache, phone cache, etc. I have played around with the APN settings. Yes, for those that yell about searching the forums; I have been working on this for several days and nothing in the lists have resolved my problem.
Any thoughts on this issue?
Do you have the stock messaging app frozen or disabled? I had a similar issue and resolved it by unfreezing/"thawing" in TB and enabling, then just turning off notifications in the stock app settings so it doesn't duplicate the notification since you're using a different SMS/MMS app.

Thanks! I froze then defrosted the default app and now it works. I have spent way too many hours trying more complicated solutions. Thanks again!
Does this apply if i'm using only the stock app too?

It should. My understanding is that by freeze/defrost, you reset the application locks or something to that effect. It doesn't hurt to try it and see how it works.
