Hey guys, it has been driving me crazy but for some reason I can't figure out how to get rid of the voice alert for when I get a text message.
Every single text is announced out loud: "New message received from". While it is very useful when I'm out and about, it can get annoying when I'm indoors.
Is there a way to disable it on the stock ROM?

Figured it out. In case anyone else would like to mute the lady announcing incoming texts:
Settings-->Sound-->Voice Notifications

I'm not seeing any of the messages I send in the sms app. The person will receive them but it's not showing up in my sms app.
I can also receive messages just fine
This happened after restarting my phone then going to sleep.
I'm on miui trinity kernel.

Hey. I received this message on my phone. Does anyone know how this could have been sent as it does not appear to be a regular sms as u can see and plus, the message is of a political nature, thing that I do not want to be a part of. I think it's from my mobile carrier and I am going to make a big scene if that's the case. Any ideas if anyone other than the cell carrier can send this type of notification?

L.E.: ok, so i did some digging around and i found this:
A Flash SMS message is a text message that you can send to an individual that stands out from the rest. Whereas a normal text message would be routed to the recipient's text message inbox, a Flash SMS will display on the screen of the recipient's mobile device. This is a great feature for when you have a text message that you want someone to read immediately.
Seems that anyone can send this type of notification using an app available on play store..
not good
As soon as I see that picture, yeah, no doubt it's just a popup notification because it says "Phone" on the window, which probably from 2 things. One from apps notification, and one from flash sms. Most of it, flash indeed.
I don't like that!

These are Operator PUSH notifications.
Can be disabled from Settings->Call->Cell Broadcast
Uncheck the "Cell Broadcast", or you can change the channels.
Generally Channel 50 is used for Location info (that used to get displayed under operator logo in older phones).
But you can disable them as we have more advanced system for getting the location (via GPS + Cell Info). :victory:
But it can also be show by some malicious apps installed.
I've been having problems with my texts getting to other people out of order. Some of this is caused by the poor reception I have at work, but I group messages come only as individual messages from each recipient/responder. The strings are all out of order and I can't seem to reply to all the people on the list. Anyone else have this problem?
i was loosing messages pretty consistantly, i have crappy reception at work and the stock messaging app would get stuck. i use handcent now and turned on the delivery reports, so now i have a verification when they recieve a message i send... it might help you trying out handcent or go-sms...

I used handcent once before and wasn't nuts about it. How about group convos? The stock app has never seemed to work the way other people's phones work with group messages. There is no indication that its a message that's been sent to multiple recipients unless I look at the message details. And then there is no way to reply to everyone at once short of starting my own sms and entering all the recipients? Am I right about this or am I moronically missing something?
i never bothered trying to figure out the group thing, i get scared i will send incredibly inappropriate stuff to the wrong people, lol

I got pretty excited when I saw the Messages app and read that it would sync texts to tablets, so I figured I'd give it a try. After 5 tries, it hasn't worked yet. Each time, it says "AT&T Messages setup not complete." I tap "retry," I get a text that says "This is an automated message, please ignore. (some random gibberish)," and then a red text notification that says the setup is not complete.
Is this app even worth trying to make work? I used to use Mighty Text and that would send my texts to my HP Touchpad -- sometimes.
You're better off with mighty text I used that when I had a Nexus 7. Very cool to text from the tablet. Not sure why you had issues though. My only problem was I couldn't recieve or send mms or see emojis when txting with people with iphones.

So last night I had a strange thing happen, it seems to have added a +1 to my incoming text messages and starts a new thread...then when I try to reply it says number is invalid, so I have to search for contact and reply that way.... Very annoying, is there a setting for getting rid of the +1 or should I reistall

It's a problem with AT&T. Happens every now and then.
Usually corrects itself
