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.

My texts send has a red "!"

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..

Glad you found that out. Now I know for nest time. Thanks for posting the results.

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.

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.

Sent from my EVO's 4G You?........I thought so
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"

What app are you using for texting? How long are the messages you're sending?
If they're simple couple word texts, I don't know what to say, but if you get to the point where a text becomes longer than three messages, sometimes, depending on the app, it will force it to MMS instead.
We need a bit more info to see what's going on.
It's a simple text. Just a few words maybe a sentence. I'm using stock texting app. It only does it when I send it to my wife. No one else.

How can I make my T-Mobile service stop sending me amber alerts?

Last night I kept receiving amber alerts at 3 am. This morning again at 8am and its really starting to piss me off. How can I opt out of receiving these alerts?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Look in the settings for messaging.
It should be under emergency messages.

Yes go onto your messaging app and press the menu button then settings scroll down to emergency alerts then uncheck amber alerts, and whatever else you don't want.. Presidential alerts cannot be unchecked tho.. Hope this helps

i hope a custom rom can rid us of his B.S.!! i registered [ Presidential alerts] as spam in the messaging app menu will it work to shut his piehole?
My best guess is that either the messaging apk from a Canadian or International ROM should work.
I can't help but wonder if this one will eventually send a (hopefully incorrect) "duck and cover" message... It wouldn't be the first time either. (Stumbled on that a few weeks ago and thought it'd be interesting in this context.)

yes it was the only solution for stopping the unwanted amber alerts.I am agree with your suggestion.
The presidential alerts would be something where there's immanent risk of life.
