I am trying to make an anti theft profile. I got everything working except for the trigger. I know that it is the trigger because I have tried setting the message on Received Text to anything, this will run fine. However, when I set it to something such as "SOS" it will not. I have tried multiple times and I am sure that I am typing the exact message.
Resolved
I have resolved the problem. I had to set the name of the profile.

Well, installed WIMP today on my HD2, used the setup util to enter the settings, even did a soft-reset of the phone, but: when I send a msg as described in the manual ($WIMPxxxx - where xxxx is my PIN), my device simply tells me it has received a new textmsg and displays this msg. WIMP does not seem to intercept it, and doesn't respond...
Anyone a clue how to get this to work?
I use a similar program, Sprite Terminator, and everytime I try and track my HD2 by sending a GPS command I get no reply back.
Very odd.

Disable htc messaging...
It appears WIMP is designed to work with windows (poutlook) handling sms, not the HTC messaging app.
Zenyee Disable HTC Messaging (unsure of source) will disable HTC messaging when installed and enable it again when uninstalled.
I'm still looking for a solution so that I can have both... but at the moment I prefer the messaging interface and don't really put my phone down anywhere... so wimp is sitting idle.
Anyone got the problem solved or is there a similar program like wimp?
I find that disabling the HTC messaging has some negative effects on my phone, atleast when I got a new message my notification bar doesn't show it plus HTC messaging automaticly typed first letter in capital and I have to reset sense few times a day 'cause sometimes the green light freezes and blinks to the end of time.
Hmm so I downloaded 8sms as I thought it might be a suitable replacement. It looked great, just like the stock messaging app. Made it default. Came back and I just got a blank white screen that says "Loading conversations.". Rebooted and it looked fine. Then opened it a second time and again lost my conversations. Switched back to Hangouts and my messages were still missing after a reboot. Opened 8sms again and my threads were there, went back to Hangouts and my threads were there.
Switch back to 8sms and I get a notification for 8305 new messages. Opened the notification and it's again "Loading conversations".
Something very strange is going on with the 3rd party functionality in KitKat. In logcat I get messages like:
"The connection pool for database '/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db' has been unable to grant a connection to thread (###) (Binder_#) with flags 0x# for 150.003 seconds" where the #s are a bit different with each entry.
Running pure stock rooted here. Any thoughts? I know that there is some sort of database transfer when switching in and out of Hangouts, but this is really disconcerting.
Given this instability, I guess I will be back to Hangouts for now until I can figure out what will work consistently.
Any thoughts on this, anyone?

Hi,
Could you please check your mms settings are correct?
http://8s.ms/mms-settings
It shouldn't be related, but I've heard from other users of weird phone behaviour when this is not configured correctly.
You might also want to try an uninstall-and-reinstall as well. There are a few reports of phones also behaving strangely which then fix themselves after a second install.
Other than that ...
"The connection pool for database '/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db'

That sounds like an Android problem.
That's the database which stores the sms and mms messages. You can think of it as a "server" and 8sms (and Hangouts) are just clients to the server.
Hence, the database is managed by Android, not by 8sms (nor Hangouts) which is why I think this is an Android problem .

There is no "database transfer". Both apps read from the same database, but only one (the default sms app) is allowed to write to it.
When the default sms app is changed, no data copying takes place, it's just a change of a simple string setting (to remember which is the default sms app and is allowed to write to the databse), and is instantaneous.
Hence again, this is why I think it's an Android problem.
Perhaps you have file system corruption or a problem with your Nexus 5?
Thanks, yes my MMS settings are correct. I would be surprised to see any corruption as I only just got this phone Friday. Anyways I haven't had any problems keeping it set to Hangouts.

Well, please try the reinstall I suggested above.
Then, another suggestion ... what about you force stop both apps (8sms and Hangouts) before you change the default sms app (via the Android settings)?
Perhaps in your previous switch, Hangouts was still writing data to the messages database?
(Just a random wild guess)
didnt they change how sms/mms worked in 4.4.
I think the app needs to be updated for it to be compatible no? correct me if im wrong, probably i am.

Yes, but 8sms has already been updated to work in 4.4, and there are lots of instances of it working on other Nexus 5 phones.

OK: Tried uninstalling/reinstalling 8sms. Then force closed Hangouts and 8sms each. Then changed default sms app via Android settings.
Then launched 8sms. Everything looked fine. Then opened a conversation and everything was blank. Backed out to the conversation list and got "Loading conversations" again.
I have taken a logcat filtered for anything mentioning sms. Removed identifying phone numbers from it. I have attached it here, starting with the time when 8sms is reinstalled. You can see at 01:47:05.776 the SMS app is switched to Messaging (8sms). At time 01:47:52.886 the first SQLiteConnectionPool error message appears. The messages appear every 30 seconds.
Oh! Interesting. After 10 minutes (01:57:23.016) the last error message is seen. Two seconds later we see an "onQueryComplete finished" message from 8sms. From this point on I was able to open 8sms and see my messages again.
So for a span of 10 minutes, something went on that was locking me completely out of seeing messages, and then it stopped and everything worked. I rebooted to see one more time if it was still working, and yes it does. Perhaps in order to reproduce this error you need to have a big pile of messages already present. Obviously not a lot of Nexus 5 users have this because they just got their phones, but I do because I restored a large archive of messages from my last device.
Hi,
I recognise the query "UPDATE sms SET seen=? WHERE seen=0". It's 8sms marking the messages or threads as seen. Perhaps you had a lot of messages or threads that weren't marked as seen.
Or else, maybe there was a big delay because the database was optimising itself for it's first run or something like that.
In any case, it looks like the problem is fixed now?
Yes it looks like it. However it might be worth looking into whether this problem commonly occurs when switching Kitkat to your client while a large number of messages is present. I believe I had something on the order of 17000 messages in a hundred or so threads. Yes I should probably clean up a bit

I had a similar issue. Deleted all my messages (kept the backup file though) and uninstalled and reinstalled. It worked fine.
I plan on restoring over the next few days doing it in chunks.
Hi There,
I am facing issue with S Voice on my Gear S3, it always say "I'am unable to process your request, try again later", it works on wake up command with no problem but when I command it to do something and the error appear, anybody have same issue? or know how to fix it? Thanks.
I connected mine directly to Wi-Fi and tried some voice commands and that fixed it, but only for a week it's gone again now. Getting cheesed off now.
Same issue here. Was working fine on Wednesday but just getting an error now.
I figured out the problem with mine. The S voice app got updated yesterday and I think something went wrong with the install. So I backed up my data through the Samsung gear app and did a factory reset on the watch. All my apps then transferred back automatically including the update for S voice which installed correctly this time.
I have noticed a "weird" error with S-Voice. If you ask it the time when it's something like #:0# (ie 4:04am). S-Voice will say the time is 4-4am. Completely ignoring the zero.
S Voice is garbage. For several days, all I've gotten is unable to process your request. Bluetooth and Wifi.
So I just tried to export a Tasker project as an app. In order to do so, I have to select an icon. Problem is, when I try to do that, Tasker hangs. It works fine on my old phone (LG G4) so it's something with the Honor, but not sure if it's the phone itself or some settings somewhere. Anyone else having this problem?
Have you found a solution?
Did you notice that tasker is killed once in a while although it is marked as protected app in the battery manager.
How can that be avoided?
Hi, anyone else getting "contacts syncing" when trying to make a call via SVOICE?, any fixes?
mine did that. I then just turned the watch off and on again, it worked after that. But i did have a problem where it wouldn't recognise my wifes name (Aimee), but would change it to Amy, So i had to change her spelling in my phone.
