Does this work on a rooted phone? Me and my wife have EVO's coming tomorrow. I want to root my phone but I also want to be able to use the cameras while talking. Does the stock app work if rooted or is there another app that will let me do the video chat thing?
You can use qik while rooted, it'll still work the way it was. Most ROMs have the app removed but you can go to the market and get it. Also, yahoo messenger works and so does fring, but fring sucks IMO.

Hmm...does this happen both over wifi and phone data?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
apparently the stock browser works on wifi.. :O
is it my telco's issue ?
I've tried facebook, gmail, twitter, youtube, literally everything that requires mobile data .. everything works cept browser, that's why I rulled out the probability of my mobile internet having issue. It seems that I'm wrong .. D:
anyhow.. should I just wait then ?
It wouldn't hurt to call them up and see if there is a problem on their end that could be causing this. How long has this been going on? It might just be a network problem if this just started.

called em up, the customer care consultant said there was nothing wrong with their service at the moment :/
Afternoon all, quick question I can only find mixed answers on:
I am using Go SMS and would like to free up RAM by removing/freezing stock SMS. Does it make a difference whether it's uninstalled or frozen?
(Of course, I know the difference between the two functions but am wondering if somehow one or the other can have adverse effects on messaging.)
I would like to test it myself but am hoping the answer already exists - unfortunately I can't wait around all day to test if it works correctly.
Go SMS needs the stock app to function, in fact I believe all of them need the stock app. Sucks, but that's how it works.

I think this is true, because all the 3rd party apps do is let the SMS app take in the messages, then grab them and re-display.
Go SMS actually has a setting for stock sms un- installed, its under important tips in the advanced settings. The ROM I use actually has an option to not install the stock one from the off. (ILWT CM7) although I'd imagine a sense ROM might be tricky.

is it just me or does the push notifications really suck on Android? I play all those "with friends" games and I never get the notifications... i have to manually go inside the app itself for it to update...
sorry this is my first Android phone and I do love it but this is the only problem I have with it; iphone does a better job.
please also excuse my ignorance if there is a different or certain policy to android because like I said before, this is my first phone therefore I am obviously new.
lastly, if I get flamed for creating a similar post, I do apologize for that too. I'm on tapatalk and tried using the search feature but nothing came up when I put "push notifications" as keywords.
thanks. had to rant since it annoyed the hell out of me

As soon as I rooted my phone and flashed a different ROM I pretty much stopped getting notifications from any app

Those push notifications are the developers only problem all Google apps work fine and my twitter client works fine as well I get push notifications fine.

Like i said blame the developers all the google apps work fine and clients as well. Facebook push has hardly ever worked and the apps now is slow hangs and hardly ever works. Gmail push always comes through immediately. Have you check to make sure Gmail is synced in your google account. Try a different facebook client? Besides their own app which is horrible on ios and android btw.

until fb figures a way to monetize on mobile apps they will ALWAYS suck.
and it isn't just you. FB messenger will work sometimes when it wants to. FB itself is usually pretty accurate for me, same with Plume.
i just wished BLN pro would always work right :\

Bln pro works fine for me I use blinking. But plume will give give me notifications when it wants me to sometimes 10 minutes after.. The standard twitter app sends me mentions and everything immediately but it puts me off since its lack of features. Best twitter app is tweetbot for the iphone.
Oh I thought you guys had push notification ads

Words with Friends [and every "with friends"] game uses poll not push. You can have it poll more frequently under settings. Obviously it'll drain more battery though.
Email?
Strangely I didn't have any issues with push when I was using the CM7 alpha. I just recently move to Juggernaut 5.0 and while I love the ROM I don't get emails pushed to me immediately anymore. Anyone have a similar experience?
Is anyone else annoyed that you can't send a contact from the stock SMS app? I love the standard SMS but yet have to have a third party SMS app installed just for this purpose. From the stock SMS you can attach a few things but not a contact. And even from the phone app you can send but through email...not SMS.
Nothing major...just felt like griping about something I guess.
On a side note android keeps getting better and better. I don't see myself even going back to a non nexus phone!

I totally agree it's silly this is not factory android option. I can tell this is a general complaint and you weren't really looking for an app, but check this out:
share contracts via sms
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=shareContacts.NS.com
it's not really an "app" it just adds the menu option to share contracts thru messaging app. you still use stock messaging. I have used this since froyo days. it's super lightweight, you'll hardly notice it's even there...

Yup, I've been shocked time and time again that it hasn't already been added since I first started using Android with Froyo.
Which is weird if you've been using dumbphones for the last 15 years I think most of them could do this.

thats not what im asking. the message center number for at&t is different for t-mobile so if this is for t-mobile only then it changes the message center number making it impossible to send and recieve texts on my at&t phone with out having to call in and get the right one back. if it keeps my phones sms settings and just pretty much themes it then no worries but if its built to run on t-mobile and has t-mobile defaults then it changes the number and then puts anyone not on that service out by having to re obtain the right number. sorry to get all technical but id much rather remove and install rather than to do both and then call at&t to fix it so i can send messages.
It will work with att perfectly fine. And everything works including MMS. Your needs to be rooted and you need to delete your original messaging system app before you install the new one and another cool thing about this app is that it will change with 90% of themes you put on your phone and most SMS /MMS mods won't I'm sure you will not be disappointed with this app ..

awesome, im going to insdall it and give an update aftr i mess with it a bit. thanks for the work its greatly apreciated as is all the work we have done to our phones by anyone that is capible of doing so.
definitely not working... says it cannot install
Did you delete you stock system messaging app first then install it it will work if you uninstall you stock system messaging app first I used root tool box pro it worked great
Sent from my LG-E980 using XDA Premium HD app
if it wont install just delete the stock app copy this one after you download it and move it to system/app then reboot. i had to but after i removed the stock one i didnt reboot before i tried installing this one. but its as simple as moving it if it wont install. works fine for me and looks really good on this phone.
Does the quick reply still show up with this installed? I love that thing but I like the black window.

I can receive MMS messages fine but it FC's on me when I try and send a MMS.
+1 on that. i cant send pics or vids either. it either fc's or says it cant send. either one just leave a blank tile and says sending until i delete the whope thread. anyway you can pist the stock app so we can have full functionality back?
