SMS Issue - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am having an SMS issue and I dont know if its the ROM im running or just a general Bug. I am running the latest version of Sprint Lovers ROM. and with every other cell phone carrier besides Sprint sometimes when I receive a text it time stamps it up to 5 minutes in the future. So when I respond back it displays the texts out of order. then if the other person sends another one it has the correct time. is anyone else having this issue?
Thanks

Ha ha, I was going to ask this on XDA later tonight. I'm having the same issue while using a Sense ROM. CM6, to the best of my memory, did not have this problem when I was using it last night.

Warning! Text messages being sent to wrong people

I was just curious as to how many people are experiencing this same problem. It happens on occasion and randomly rooted or not. I was just wondering how many of you out there are having the same issue? Only on the Evo? How often? How consistent? And if you have any fixes or ideas on what may be causing this? Its very frustrating. I have read on the Android site where this is a know issue but they didn't seem too worried about it. Any help or advice would be much obliged. Thanks in advance!
Happened to me once....bad instance too. Talking to a girl and it sent to my brother...well that didnt end well.
never happened to me
EDIT: If I'm not mistaken that bug has been fixed in 2.3.1 or 2.3.2...now just to wait for them to get the update to us.

You are correct. They closed the bug report and announced that the fix was being released two days ago. The post announcing the release also has links to the relevant patches. The announcement is here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9392#c1620
Ive had this exact same problem a few times, and the first time i had an experience similar to Locoboi187's story..

Is this a firmware update or some other kind of update? This is annoying as all hell.
It used to happen to me a lot. I always delete all my messages after I write one just to avoid any issues.

It is an update by Google...we just have to wait for HTC to sense-ify it and release it to us. Or you can try a gingerbread rom.
You could try using handcent sms instead of the stock messaging app. That is suppose to also fix the problem.

Handcent almost got me shot by my girlfriend lol... sent a FB convo to a homie, while copying and pasting his name was on the thread the whole time. Sent the message and come to find out that the ENTIRE FB convo sent to my girl instead of my homie... Needless to say handcent sms has been REMOVED lol.

Call Log...sucks. [Q]

I just recently ugraded to eb13, and now I notice that my texting history shows up in my call log...uhg! I send/rcv about 10-12k txts a month, so yu can imagine what my call log looks like with all those txt's! Is there a way to permanently remove "text history" from call log? I dont particularly want to use the searh filter every time I want to see a recent call nor do I really want a whole new dialer, as that's the only thing I don't like...
Anyway, thanks, all help is appreciated

All custom ROMs floating around here had texts removed from the call log. You might try reflashing your ROM. Or copy logsprovider.apk out of any custom ROM with the same baseband as you (EC05) and push it to system/app.
Only if your rooted. K0nane made a stand alone fix to be flashed.
You can also hit the menu button and say sort by X,Y or Z but yeah its an annoying issue..
Why are u on eb13?

Oops it looks like the fix is already active. I guess I hadn't rechecked since I flashed SFR 1.2. It would be nice if there was an "All Calls" option in the View By menu instead of just a behind the scenes hack, but I'm happy with this. Thanks.

here is the fix if you are rooted. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853177&highlight=log. But you should really think about updating to at least EC05. Much better than EB13 in my opinion. EF02 has been great for me so far as well.

[Q] Where did Settings>Privacy go?

I found two similar threads with no replies whatsoever so I figured I would post and see if I can get an answer...
Where did Settings>Privacy go? I have Gingerbread and I don't want my txts to display scrolling when the phone is on the lock screen.
Also, does anyone know why now when I'm in a phone call and get a txt I get the default sound instead of the txt sound I have set?
Thanks in advance for your time.
damn. that's a damn good question! I hate how it scrolls the texts too. don't want certain people to see everything. lol. hmmm. Yeah. sadly I could bet that it won't get fixed. we REALLY need to post a thread with all the current bugs in the stock software and which bugs can and can't be fixed by using a thirdparty rom.
privacy is still there for me
sitlet - what ROM and software revision are you running? I am on Fresh 4.2 and my software number is 4.24.651.1.

I can't find "Privacy" in stock 2.3.3 either, but this mod may be what you're looking for.

if u search under settings in the google search toolbar widget u can find it

[Q] cyanogenmod ROM (cdma) issue

It seems those working on this ROM don't like to keep people updated so I must fix this myself, but I need help. I'm on the latest cyanogen ROM and mms does not work. It will not send whether on wifi or regular. Does ANYONE have any suggestions of where to look to fix this. I'm not a newb by any means, I've just never ran into anything like this. So any help would be appreciated.
On a side note, not all new members on XDA have no clue so I find it rude and discriminatory to label them as such by not letting them post on the development page and other annoying issues.

This has been a well known issue with the CDMA ROM for several months now. Its by no means knew news. If you would have read the thread for more than 2 pages, you would have seen that. I'm working on a fix for the MMS issue, so we can have a flawless ROM.

I actually read about 50 pages worth and saw nothing. But atleast someone is working on it. I'm going to rip apart the stock ROM and see what I can find. I'm use to working on motorolas, but again, thank you.

[Q] Can someone recommend a stock MMS apk with Quick Reply?

Ive found so many stock MMS apks on here, but none of them seem to have the Quick Reply popup. Or they have the quick reply popup but no message bubbles & those ugly in message contact photos on every line. Could someone link to one for the Tmobile S3. I really want to stay on stock messaging.

You are describing TW MMS with the bubbles and AOSP MMS with the quick reply. You cannot, to my knowledge, get what you want without using an app from the play store. Like Go SMS/Handcent/chompSMS/etc.
I always hated the contact photo thing, too. Just in case I forget how to read, right? I can still look at the picture and know who I'm texting. Oh wait, no I can't. Because I'm not taking pictures of everyone in my contact list. Stupid idea. Even worse, you can't disable it. Unclear what the devs were thinking, if at all.
I hate using anything messaging from the play store because they all drain battery. Isn't there a themed one with quick reply? I hate the contact picture on every line. They're just ugly grey boxes. But I need quick reply. And I don't want to use a battery sucking app to text from the play store
There has to be a themed one somewhere

There may be a TW MMS with quick reply, but I haven't seen one. If we did have one, though, it would be buried in the themes and apps section.
I was looking in the themes and apps section. Just wondered if there was one that could be pulled from a custom Rom.
Does anyone know of one from a rom that can be pulled? So far I have found one that gets rid of the stupid contact pictures on every line, but its all black and hard to read. And has no message bubbles. Could it be modified?

Could anyone port this MMS over? It looks like its for the Verizon model. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998769 It has working quick reply and bubbles.
Any suggestions? Or does anyone know of one that can be pulled from a Rom?

You don't have to port it. Just pull it and place it in system. Make sure permissions are correct.

Maybe, maybe not. There may have been changes made by the carriers, and they may have been initially written differently for each carrier.
Can't hurt to try though. After copying it over (backup original first), if it doesn't work at first, in Settings clear data for the app, then reboot recovery and wipe dalvik.
If it still doesn't work, it may not be completely compatible...

It didnt work. Does anyone know of one from a rom they can pull and post? I hate the contact photos on every line, but I need quick reply. I have found a few, but they force close when I get an MMS. You'd think with all the amazing devs that are here, this issue would be resolved.

The issue is resolved. You just don't want to accept the answer. Find one on the store you like and use it. The battery drain will not be noticeable. If it is, the app is poorly written, find another one.
