I don't know if this just a problem with my phone, but I can't see what time a text was sent if it wasn't sent today. After I select a message marked yesterday or some other past date, I click on "View message details," and I just see the date it was sent or "yesterday."
I checked a friend's Samsung Moment, and it displayed the time the message was sent, no matter when it was sent! Did I do something to screw up my phone? I am not technically proficient, just followed these guides to root and flash a ROM on my phone. I have Fresh ROM 1.1 (you got skills flipzmode) running with MoDaCo's Custom Kernel 1.2 (modaco, you're sick, too), and a clear theme on top of it all.

Are you in Arizona? I believe if you search the forum or even google you will see people in that time zone complaining times are not correct.
No, I'm on the East Coast.
The problem isn't with traveling and receiving messages at different times, but just reading what time I received or sent a message. If a message was received sent any other day than today, I'm not able to see what time the person sent it or when I sent one.
When I was using handcent this wasn't a problem, just now with the stock messaging app. Could someone else confirm that this is a problem with my phone? Just open your stock messaging app, select a conversation that took place on a day other than today, and see if you can find out what time the message was sent or received.
It's a shortcoming of the HTC messaging app. Check the same message in Handcent and you'll see the timestamp when picking "View message details".
That's sad stuff. Thanks for the reply. I'll donate to whoever fixes it!
Edited to add: Is there a way to port over another messaging app? Maybe the one from the Moment?
I installed zues build 5 on my phone and now when I send pictures the phone does not resize them. People who recieve them get a message saying " The media content was not included due to picture resolution or message size restriction"

Hmm.. TRY A DIFFERENT MODEM!
If not I think that your APN is screwed up. Look around.. there's a few different posts on how to send. I do not use official texting...... so there.

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.
Have you tried side loading the MMS apk from 4.2?

Guys, where can I find this APK?
can someone dropbox the newest apk?
So i tried installing this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/oisv83ye8yv75lj/Mms.apk
I'm on ViperXL right now. I downloaded that MMS.apk to my phone and just tried running it, and the install process came up. Clicked yes through it but the app just force closes.
Am I doing something wrong here?

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.

Hello, I am running CleanRom 5.6 on my verizon galaxy sIII and everything is working great. However I have one problem. The stock message app works great but it does not allow for group test message to show up on one message i.e. you get individual message instead of getting one single message. I solved this by installing go sms pro or handcent. NOw the problem that I am having is that when people send me a .gif image file I can see the picture but it is not moving. I have tried opening under the stock text app, go sms pro, and handcent but no one them work. At have had it working a few time but the majority of times it does not work i.e. the image does not move. I have searched online a lot but there is no one consensus on how to fix this problem. I hope someone know what I am talking about and can help me because I am not the only one who is having the problem. Thank you.
p.s. I do not know whether the problem is being caused by an iphone user sending the .gif file or whether that does not matter.

Im not 100% sure here but pretty sure the Android OS doesnt fully support .gif anymore at least? seems like alot of people cant only get the first frame of a gif to run on their phones now.
Hi Everyone,
I'm kinda worried about a few messages I've received from "[email protected]" within the last few months. The "[email protected]" address suddenly changed one day to "GO SMS TEAM." Please see the screenshot I took of the two messages.
Is someone trying to send me something or do something to my phone? I clicked on the "get it right now" link on the 02/10 message and it said not available or something. I tapped on the second link in the 02/20 message and it took me to some theme page telling me to download it (I didn't).
Can anyone tell me what's going on because I'm getting really freaked out. Has my phone been hacked?
Has anyone received these specific messages in February? If so, could you please post yours?
Help! Thanks in advance!

Immediately uninstall anything by the Go Team. Their stuff is lousy software anyway - bloated and buggy - but more importantly has serious security concerns.
Uninstall!
