Is it safe to delete the default messaging app or even the voice mail app? I use Google voice and handcent so I have no need for them....
Are there any reasons I should keep them - just in case something should come up
Thanks in advance

Voicemail is safe to delete, i have had it gone for a very long time. The mms app i have heard will have side affects if deleted, hopefully someone can chime in that uses handcent.

Text with Scramble showing up and now one even sprint has any idea what it is and only answer is to hard reset....any ideas what it is or how to fix?
+1000!
I thought I might be the only one. It's good to know someone else is getting this weirdness!
I have 23 of them over the last 7 days. They come in every few hours.
They are "random" except that the first chunk is the something that is being sequentially numbered... basically up through, on mine, a "C:".
Not a biggy but annoying.
Anyone else?
Oh yea me also.I have tried to freeze apps and people say it may be goggle voice and yes my number is listed in goggle voice but i do not have this on my phone.
It seems to come now after calls are over or a call and nobody answered.People say it has to do with goggle voice but i do not have it on my phone.Wish i could end this and yes sprint know nothing and it is a pain in the butt.It happens on the Photon also so not epic touch alone.
I get these when I reboot.
I was getting them too! After I blacklisted the number, it stopped.
I'm confused what is happening. Your getting random txt with crazy number and letters?

You have a third party sms app overriding default settings. Most people have gosms or handcent. If certain default settings are in place and you overide those settings the short code will appear. Disable override in handcent or gosms and issue should be resolved.

Sorry to tell you but that's not it. I get them every now and then and I have no custom SMS app installed. Never have on this phone. Must be something else - thankfully RCB Pro blocks it.
I always figured it was from youmail

Not it either. I don't use youmail. Guess I'll resort to the logs to see where it's coming from or what program is requesting it.
Actually I fixed it on my phone (you'll see above that I had it and was quite annoyed).
Trying to remember exactly my way of getting rid of it but part of it was uninstalling GoSMS doing something or other and then reinstalling GoSMS and everything has been fine. No more 8737 + garbage!
Google 8737 and look around if this didn't help (and it may very well have not).
Sorry I don't remember well.
Anyone getting random texts from a 8737 number? I get them repeativly and look like this

These are from third-party sms apps. GO SMS or Handcent are the two main culprits. It has to do with a conflict between them, Sprint visual voicemail and the default messaging app.
If you use go or handcent, uncheck the option to disable other message notification (In GoSMS it is Settings|Advanced|Recieve Settings|Disable other message notification ) then reboot. This should take care of the problem.
If GO SMS... uninstall and reinstall... there are directions somewhere that fixed this for me.
Load the stock voicemail app and let it privision itself. Then wipe GoSMS data or uninstall/reinstall.
I learned to always load the voicemail app first whenever I change ROMs now
I am having " 8xxx??" Show up in my texts. Any answer??

no. or at least i have not figured out a way.google voice is sms and pictures require mms. i use google voice for text and voicemail but i keep stock mess app on phone just for picture mail. or i just email them.
Yeah I don't actually use the voice app except for keeping records of texts I don't want to store on my phone. Much more convenient to set it to receive messages through messenger app.. saves battery too so your not always syncing online.
Ok....cool thank you both...

The official word from Google on mms support is, paraphrasing, "we're working on it, but don't hold your breath."

Decided to get rid of Go SMS, its become too bloated and features are becoming "premium." Ive tried Handcent and ChompSMS before and wasn't a fan. Looking through the market I stumbled across Pansi SMS.
Have some questions for you Pansi SMS users.
1. Is it okay to uninstall the stock messaging app if I install Pansi SMS? Will it mess up sending and receiving MMS's, if I unistall the stock app with Pansi installed?
I know with Go SMS Pro it was okay to remove the stock messaging app with no consequences.
2. Does it interfere with voicemail?
Ive heard earlier cases where it would intercept the voicemail and instead send you a text with a number to call to retrieve the voicemail.
The only issue I had with Pansi was when I sent a text message using the keyboard, the conversation did not scoll up. I had to pull it up

After installing and trying - please describe your feelings with Pansi SMS
I want to switch app for SMS/MMS but I don't know which is the best.
Tried it, having a huge battery drain and Better Battery Stats shows partial wakelocks for Pansi TimeService. Too bad, it really seemed like a nice app.
Love it. No more Go

On my gf's G3, Viber texts will show in the stock messaging app but not in Hangouts (even when Hangouts is set as the default messaging app). Any way to fix this?
Also, I rooted it and froze most of the of the AT&T bloatware that came on it and now her contacts don't show names (just phone numbers). Any idea which one might be responsible for this? I tried unfreezing AT&T Address Book but it's still the same thing.
Hi,
There is no way to integrate Viber into Hangouts. You can enable the Free reply with Viber option, but that only applies to regular network SMS messages.
