My texts send has a red "!" - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know why my texts sent have a red "!" On the right side of the text sent?
Edit: also I have been getting text messages with the time stamp from the future always says from next day in the morning with only the right part of time is the minute of the time they sent it.

That usually means that it did not send because of an error.

Well my girlfriend reply back though? When it has a red x and I press and hold it will tell me it couldn't sent. When I do the same with the red ! It gives me regular info like the type of message, to who and the time sent..

Ok just to clear thigs up since I do know. You are right the ! is showing up because you have your text message settins set to high priority. If it shows the ! with a triangle around it then that means it didnt send. But I believe the Evo automaticly tries to resend it after a minute. I think you can also click the message that didnt send and it will automaticly try to resend it.. I think that last part is true.

'goo' appearing in text boxes

About 80% of the time I type in a new text field, 'goo' will appear as soon as I start typing.
Anyone else getting this? Had the problem before I rooted, then it went and its come back again.
Sorry if this has been posted before.
Can't search on the xda app.

I seem to get this randomly as well but not 'goo', it's usually the start of something I have typed recently.
I guess you type google in a lot?
Not massively so. This has been the only word that has appeared with the problem. Never had the beginning of another word.

Replace stock messaging with handcent...?

Is this possible..?
Sent from my phone that's better than yours.
Just turn off the notifications for the stock messaging app. You'll be good to go.
All I did was to go into the setting of the stock and unchecked everything.

I know about that already but I just for some reason can't get handcent to stick as my main sms app... I get asked to choose between the two all the time and just wanna replace stock with handcent..

When it asks you to choose between the two, look in bottom left , you can check a box to use one or the other as default.

pm me and ill give you better instructions.
Chomp sms is where it's at, the only reason why I didn't stock with handcent is because every time my phone died and when I turn it back on it sends everyone the entire conversation I had with them which is insanely annoying. No one wants to get 75 texts in a row lol.
Chompsms lets you put a background for when you txt, lets you use landscape and portrait mode(lets you use a different pic for both). Also lets you change the color of the text from both sides(also the bubbles in which they are typed in). Also when you get a txt it pops up on the screen and you can just reply right away instead of going to the app. One last thing, if you hold down the search button it lets you make a message without going to the app.

I thought handcent let you do the exact same thing?
They both are insanley close, you just gotta play with them and see what's better for you. And you want to stock the app right?

Just looked it's pretty obvious. The sub text describes your problem almost exactly.
Hint: it starts with "prevent"

The problem is called LOS: Loss of Service and its been the hottest topic for the E4GT since forever. By now there are a billion threads that cover it. Look them up in the forums.

sound goes off by itself

i love my S3, but this is driving me crazy. for no reason the sound will stop working for notifications, and or feedback. I triple check the sound levels and other settings and everything is on, mute is off. sometimes it will not notify and just vibrate for like 20 seconds.
The only way to restore it is to powercycle the handset. This is so stupid im thinking of factory reset. I also checked for updates and there are none available. Please help!!
Thanks
I don't have an answer but I can confirm I have the same issue.

If you have your text message limit set to 200 messages and you receive number 201 from someone the notification sound will get cut off because it has to delete a message and it doesn't have the brain to do 2 things at once. I found this solution in the Verizon forums. If this is your issue then be sure to thank them.
