SMS in Diamond2

Do you see graphic smileys in your Diamond2 SMS tab? I only see textual smileys, and HTC support said the only solution is to install a 3rd party program.
If none of you can see graphic smileys, what are you using to see them?

This post is not related with graphic smiles but as it is related with sms i will post it here and avoid several threads.
It happens frequently that when I switch on the display I receive de alert sound of a new sms. The sms was received before, sometimes a long time before but the alert sound only sounds when the display is switched on.
Anyone having the same problem?
Thanks

You mean the "flip album" interface in the "people" tab? Post a link to what you're referring to.
If that is what you mean, then just tap on the + button and add a favorite contact. This is a place you can store favorite contacts, ones that already exist in your contact list. Once you tap the + button, you can select a picture, etc.

You on stock rooted? I have not changed any of my files (other then framework.apk - to bypass verizon charging me to use the built in tether ). I flashed this and works great, from the google search on the main screen i just click on the mic and it brings it right up...

Voice Dialer is messed up
I originally posted this in the Apps forum; but it is probably more appropriate here:
I installed Google Now and the search works fine. However, when I initiate the voice dialer via my BT headset, I hear very fast, unintelligible gibberish. When I say "Call Bill Johnson" it returns totally inaccurate results and the voice is at 4X speed. S Voice, while somewhat inaccurate, worked 80-90% of the time via BT.
Does anyone else who has done this on their S3 have a working BT initiated voice dialer?

Are you having issues with having GN send text to contacts or sending "note to self"? I am having issue with both. I tried to do the work around using Calendar as a contact and then having GN send a sms to it so that it will post but most of the time it ends up doing a google search on "text calendar....ect". "note to self..." gives me a black screen and then an FC shortly after. I'm using the M6 zip file.

I cant get it to send any text messages, i think it might be since i have the software with the phone search removed? - might need to let the original developer know using the link in my original threat.

I sending a text message is hit or miss i guess, however i never got it to actually do it for me automatically. if i say "text mike hey whats up" it will pull up mike (sometimes/not consistently) and have my message "hey whats up" ready for sending but i have to actually go again and finalize the send. It's not like with S voice or Vlingo where it will send it for you if there is high confidence or if you tell it to send. I guess we'll just have to wait until proper version of Jellybean come out for our phones (GS3 VZW in my case). Till then we'll just have to deal with not so perfect Google Now.

Is there anyway to turn s voice back on when double clicking the home button? Google voice dialer calls all kinds of random people.. thanks in advance!

Should be able to go into the applications and clear the cache for Google search/voice - so when you double click home it will ask which you want to use? not 100% sure, but usually that's how you reset options like that.

Yeah that button! :highfive: i was at work when i posted that response and got a call and had to rush the response.

Tried that already with no success. I apologize I should have included that in my post. I however cannot find voice dialer in the app list. Is it named something else? I ask because when double clicking home, it doesn't launch the google now search, it launches a desperate google voice dialer. Thanks

Should just be the Google search one, if you haven't already tried that one. also, check the original threat I posted i belive they have an "uninstall" option? that would be the only other option i can think of. I don't use voice dial. sorry.

So to install this, you just need to download the zip file and flash in recovery? I read through the other link and its seems confusing. I'm not sure if I need 6 or 7. And the warning stated if I don't know what one I need I shouldn't be attempting it. So I'm nervous.

Do the mikey7 version. To get offline and online dload the biggest file. On an s3 you should be Ok doing the big file. Just download put on root of your sd card and on recovery flash the zip file. I've been using it but I don't use the cards to save battery. I just use the voice search. It's much better than s voice or the voice search of ics. Check on howbibused home2shortcut to assign it to the home button by clicking my name to see my posts. You will enjoy it.

[Q] customizing order in keypad

Hey guys, so I've been dealing with this issue since I've had the phone in multiple ROMS. So let's say I am trying to call my friend John Z, I go to the keypad and type in 564 and I also have friends John A, B, and F in my contacts, which I never call anyway. So my question is, how would I be able to customize (obv if possible) the order in which my contacts are ordered when typing their characters in the keypad, currently its alphabetical. I tried looking through all the settings and googling with no luck. Thanks!

It might be best to start using their last name assuming you list all your contacts full last names. That's what I do for my multiple contacts with similar first names but different last names.

I was thinking that too last night, but trying to see if I can somehow customize it. If I cant I will definitely change it up.

Haven't found a way, its annoying on this device. My old droid 3 would always pop up the "best match" based on the call logs, s3 apparently does not take that into consideration. I also have been trying to find a way to get the dialer to default to showing the number pad on VM and 800# calls, again this is a standard feature in gingerbread droids! Its so annoying especially in the sun or when driving to have to hit the show keypad button all the time on those types of calls.

Yeah man! Same with my old phone! I had a Mytouch 3g slide and it will sort it how I want my s3 to sort it. I wonder if downloading a new dialer via the play store would solve it or if a dev wanted to take up the challenge.

I've posted that question in multiple development threads with no replies, please start doing it too, maybe if more people ask it may be taken on
I'm actually amazed more people aren't annoyed by this, after all these are phones first!

Completely agree, haha. Ive been googling for a while and still havent found anything. The only conclusion I can see is by using the "Favorites" menu which actually sorts by most freq contacted. It seems like a really easy fix though; just give priority to the favorites when searching then alphabetize or whatever else afterwards.

Exdialer from the playstore. I've been messing with all of the dialers for the past 2 hrs and this one is special. Give it a try, solved my issues. Donate uses root privileges to override the stock dialer.

Text message "invalid recipient" fix

I have been seeing a lot of people on various forums complain about when they try and send a text they get an invalid recipient message. You must be rooted to fix this. In Root Explorer go into the CUST folder. Inside will be a cmcc, dualcu, and hw folder. (Lost+Found & Preinstalled you don't have to worry about) Go into cmcc--->cn--->xml and delete the mms_config.xml file. Do the same for the dualcu and hw folders. Then restart your phone. You will not get the invalid recipient message any more.

Yes, it's not too big of a deal though as you can use another SMS app.

So I could get any SMS App from the Google Play Store? Another question... where's the best place to buy an X2 for use in the USA? I have read that if it says Honor on it then it's a Chinese version but that there is another version of the X2 for international and that is a "better" one for the USA. I don't know how to quote your previous post (I am kindof a Forum newbie). I got an email telling me that I had been quoted so I knew to come here. I wish I could figure out how to quote so you would get an email that I am back! Lol!

I don't think it matters which model you buy. You will not have LTE here in the U. S. The Chinese version has been out longer so it will probably have more development here on XDA. You can buy it on Gizok.com, on ebay or Amazon.

It has to do with the way the phone numbers are formatted here in the US. Huawei has something in the MMS_config file so that any other number format other than an international one won't send texts unless they send you a text first. Removing those files removes the format and lets you text any number without an issue.

Then just using another SMS app is not really a "fix"? The only way to really fix it is to do that complicated thing that was brought up earlier in this thread? When I was told to just use another SMS app I went on the Play Store to look for one. There are a LOT of them! Do you have any recommendations? Will using that app also allow me to get pictures via texts? I get a lot of them!

The problem doesn't happen with a third party sms app. It only happens with the default one. Textra is one of the best. It's fast and acts like the stock Google SMS. Yeah picture messages work fine with Textra.

Text "invalid recipient" work around
You wont need to be Rooted to use stock messaging app and yes invalid recipient is an issue to some. Its only a formatting issue just as if you had a device from your local area and used it in a foreign country you would need to correct dialing codes. The easiest fix is to save all contacts in International format exactly as shown +1(area code) ###-#### or just download a app called Twitch contact formatter from the P.S. Run the app it will find all numbers then select output to international format and done.
1. I recommend you access and export a backup of your original contacts from PC.
2. Then run downloaded app and sync contacts to your g account once again.
If contacts do not update in cloud delete address book in cloud and re-sync from phone.*****BACK UP FIRST*****

Thanks for this information! I am on TMobile right now and Textra is a mess on TMobile. Apparently, TMobile doesn't support third-party messaging apps... Textra has a TMobile "fix" in the Settings (but I have been testing it on a Note 3 and have had terrible trouble with it). So your solution might be what I need to do! Thanks!

Hi, aj, I even choose that TMobile "fix" in the Textra Settings and I had A LOT of instances of my texts not getting sent. Then a few would get sent at once hours later... I think you have answered my question which I called TMobile about and they couldn't answer... Even though I am in a TMobile "black hole" - always on E (Edge) with no phone network available for Internet and phone calls are even in-and-out... My texting on the TMobile messaging app and on home WiFi works just fine... I questioned TMobile and they said it was probably the interaction between Textra and TMobile... Now I am sure that it has to do with the terrible TMobile service here, instead... I am giving TMobile until December 1 to fix this situation. The local TMobile store (less than 2 miles from my house and right in the middle of this dead zone) told me that they're in the process of putting the nTelos towers they bought online with the existing towers and they said service would be a whole lot better. Otherwise, I am off to AT&T, I guess...

You should be able to walk into a TMobile store and ask them to give you a signal booster. Do you get good coverage outside your house or is the coverage bad in your entire neighborhood? If the whole area is bad then the booster will do you no good though. Downstairs in my house the signal is not so great so they gave me a signal booster. I put one of them upstairs near a window and the second one downstairs and I get a great signal downstairs now.

I tested it and the signal is 4G LTE at about 2 miles away on one road entrance to downtown. All of downtown is E - including the TMobile office! Then it is hard to say... Rural areas that I rarely go into are on other sides so I haven't gone many miles into them to test it out... The northern part of our city is about 20 miles away. I go there and service is great. There are rural areas between us and the northern, developed part. I would say west of us (pretty rural) is bad almost starting at the sign which says "Welcome to Suffolk" about 30 miles away... In land area we are a big city. Old timey divided into little old towns. I am in the old downtown. I looked at the TMobile website and read about the signal booster and was excited until I read further and realized that it would not help... I had excellent service on Verizon... But CDMA was no longer an option when I decided to try the X2! I had no idea TMobile was so bad in my area. Especially since they opened a store less than 2 miles away! Lol!

1. I recommend you access and export a backup of your original contacts from PC.
2. Then run downloaded app and sync contacts to your g account once again.
If contacts do not update in cloud delete address book in cloud and re-sync from phone.*****BACK UP FIRST*****

I have downloaded Twitch and read everything that I can about it on Google. I am not sure how to do backups. I go to Contacts and in the Menu there's an option to Export to sdcard. Is that what you mean? I have never backed up to pc and don't know how... Am I doing a backup just in case Twitch screws something up? To be honest, I am a bit OCD and the uniformity of how Twitch re-formats my phone numbers is very appealing to me. I wouldn't mind having my numbers formatted that way permanently. Would I still have to do a backup in that case? Does having the phone numbers formatted this way allow you to use the stock text messaging app (I'm assuming it is because it's already on my X2) instead of Textra? I LOVE Textra but for the time I am still on TMobile I cannot use it because of the terrible TMobile service in my area... Thanks for your time!

P. S. Does clicking on that sdcard-looking icon on Twitch re-format the contacts? Thanks!

Update: I just did Contacts Menu on my Note 3 and cannot find the option to Export to sdcard so I guess that's not possible on my Note 3? I am going to Google it some more...

Hello,
You can try using the stock app but if your always on EDGE your phone will not preform as intended when EDGE was industry standard anything over 4 MEGA Pixel photos wasnt even a thought. At minimum you need to be on 3G or HSPA+ which is what Tmobile uses. Check your APN settings Google this ---> apn-settings.com/t-mobile-apn-settings-step-by-step-configuration/
Not sure if the new Tmobile 4G extender will work since the radio in the Mediapad X2 does not even support US 4g networks. At this point I suggest trying stock app if that doesn't work its time to switch carriers. I had to switch and never looked back I live in the city and in my dead zone only ATT worked for me. If you don't want to go threw the activation process just find a friend with ATT and invite them to your house check if they have good signal.
When you backup your original contacts I do mean EXPORT as shown here Google this ---> support.google.com/mail/answer/24911?hl=en
Twitch hasn't erased any of my contacts I only recommend export/backup as a standard with any personal info... Being victim of three hard drive failure in my PC and did I mention they where all in a row. Twitch does have the ability to return your contacts to original format.
As for you formatting they will always need to be set as International prefix in order to use stock messaging app. It works very good for me.
I am not sure about your last question about the SD looking icon? When you launch the app on the top right it should recognize your county format with a flag and to the right of that you have another drop down option select International prefix. At the bottom right of your screen select save and you should be done.

The sdcard icon is next to Save Selected. I just noticed that all of my contacts have a checkmark to the left. I am thinking they are all selected so that is what I will choose. Thanks for all that explanation about Edge. I am giving them until December 1 to upgrade these towers they said they bought... Then I am off to Cricket or AT&T... Thanks also for the Google link to help with the Contacts backup! That should work! I just want to thank everyone for the extra mile they go to with explanations for the clueless (me) lol!

Android Messages - No preferred sim selected

I got the new HTC U11+ today.
After installing Android Messages app, I get a notification "No preferred sim selected". Anyone know where I define this in settings?
I found the same question over in the U11 forum but no answer. I will pass along the answer if someone can answer.
I will Google again and if I solve, well ask moderator to close this thread in lieu of the U11 thread.

I got this too, compares to stock messenger, Android Messenger could "Mark read" from notification but stock messenger doesn't, which is a pity.
I tried to get rid of "No preferred sim selected" but nothing worked.

+1 for me. It's definitively kind of strange, first phone I've ever had that doesn't let me replace the stock messenger.

Yes same here. I've started using textra. Pretty good

Thanks for the responses. If the app is built to recognize 2 sim slots, why not a setting in the app to define which one? #wtfgoogle
I downloaded Textra as well. Very good replacement.

Waiting patiently for my U11+...

i had suffer this situation too,is there any way to solve the problem.thanks all of you.

I think I managed to fix it by manually setting it through adb using
Code:
adb shell settings put global multi_sim_sms 1
also is the "SIM cards" menu missing for everyone else I can open it using nova launcher but its like half broken. The entry to change the preferred sim is there but clicking on it does nothing.

Android Messages seems a bit slow to me, like clicking on a thread, there is a small delay and I can see that the app registers my input half a second after I tap on a thread.

Have you make adjustments in settings in app or phone? How you choose sim for sending messages?

There are 2 issues with Android Message:
- lag: I have none on my U11+ (EU), but had it on my former U11...
- sim: the ADB command via PC, posted a few posts back, did the trick
