[Q] any1 who uses handcent, please read and see if this happens to you.. Annoying... - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all.. Ok here is a weird on, well maybe.. Does this happen to anyone...
SO I get a message and pull down my status bar, and click on it.. Lets say its John.. I go to Johns thread and see the mesage, and I notice it says a different name at top then john.. Lets say Rachel... I am in Johns thread and I send a message it goes to Rachel but shows up still in Johns Thread.. Essential meaning it goes to wrong person.. I have to stare at the top to make sure it is right person now.. It doesnt happen all that much but I have sent messages to people that I did not mean to because it had put a different name on the top...
Has anyone else seen this??? Any ideas?????? Its driving me nuts.. I have seen it on the Ratings in the market people have complained about it, but not sure if its handcent or something on my phone?

If people have complained in the market about the same problem its not your phone it is handcent... I don't use handcent so I can't really help you further than that... I would look into a different messaging app until that is fixed...

I've used handcent since my first Android device and have never encountered this problem, or any problems for that matter.

Welp, there's a free 'thanks' for ya. Anyway, I read about someone having this same issue, but I don't remember if they stated it was specifically for Handcent or not. Me personally, I've been using handcent for a while now, and I've never experienced this problem, nor am I now.
However, I rarely use the notification bar shortcut to get into handcent. I'm using the ICS lockscreen through WidgetLocker, and left circle is handcent, so that's what I do 99% of the time to get to my messages.
Not sure if it's an issue of getting there with the notification bar or not.

ill trying using the actual icon instead of the staus bar for a while, see if that makes a difference..

Just a thought (not sure that it would actually help) but have you disabled all options under the stock message application's settings? Also if you could post/pm your handcent settings.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

yes. at point stock was removed as well....
what do you mean post setting? example??

Have you tired reinstalling the app? Or clearing your Dalvik and cache? Clear app data?
This usually clears things up. I have never had this particular issue... Do you have any of Handcents add ons installed? Perhaps the issue is with one of those...? Just some thoughts

yes done all of that.. still not helping issue... it doesnt do it all the time either... just sometimes but annoying enough...

I mean post your handcent settings.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

what settings do u want? lol there are hundreds

There are not "hundreds". Mainly any that would be specific to app functionality and send/receive settings.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

well there are ALOT of settings within handsent that can be changed.......
but here are my send message settings
Comp check, is on
auto conver to mms
auto resize pic
quick attach
prevent resend
sms to email gateway are the only things checked...
In receive settings
handcent delivery report
auto retrieve
roaming auto retrieve
timestamp is default
self check
are all checked....

And you said you removed the stick messaging app from your system?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

i did a wjile ago... hve it now made no difference....

what rom are you using? my wife has said this has happened to her. she is still using midNight 5.3 (EC05/Froyo); she can be technology challanged so I figured she either saved a phone # twice on 2 people. Trying to grab the phone away from her while she is feeding her words with friends addiction is tough though!
I have been using handcent since I had the moment and on my epic for over a year. I've never seen it happen. Not that I haven't had any issues with it; but they usually fix things. This seems really random though

im on acs ics v5.5... ive emailed handcent numwrous times about it.. no help yet

I've been using handcent for a very long time and also never encountered this problem. I've used about every single rom out for the epic since ec05 and had this app on my moment as well
So idk what could be wrogn.. I once had a problem where I sent a txt to the wrong person cuz of this app but its not the way u said it happened it was cuz of low signal and txts not sending so they started saving some as drafts and some kept retrying and 2 got mixed up and sent to the wrong people lol
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

yeah it is very strange.. and I have sent some messages that should not have been sent to that person.... But i never payed attention the top sender... It will say one name but show a different persons thread.. I just have to pay attention now and be careful not to hit send till I know the right person is at the top...

Texting Complications

I am running CM 7.1 RC1 (I believe that is the one).
I am having an issue with texting that is driving me nuts. Whenever I receive a text that is 2 pages long, it will send the first text and then split the second one up into two separate messages, even though they don't fill the character limit.
Basically it's like this..
0001/0003: Text page 1..blah blah..
0002/0003: Text pa
0003/0003: ge 2.. blah blah..
Make sense? It's annoying as hell, and I'm not sure what's causing it. There are also those obnoxious numbers before the messages as well. Occasionally it will receive them like it's supposed to, but most of the time it splits the second page. Regardless of if it splits the second page, it always has those damn 0001/0002 numbers beside the next. It used to be (1/2) and such.
I flashed an HTC Sense ROM and updated my PRL thinking that was it, and it didn't seem to help. I'm thinking I missed something really simple, but I don't know what it is or where it is.
CM7.1 RC1
Tiamat SBC Kernel
PS: It happens on other ROMs too, so I'm not thinking it's something strictly with CM.
Thansk for all the help. You guys are awesome.
I've had that too, on all sorts of phones.

messaging bugs

This happens about many times a day when I choose a contact from my past messages it opens a totally different contact that may or may not have been visible in the list. Also occasionally when i am typing it double types part of the word so if I type "really" it might be "reareally". Anyone else get this?
Which ROM? Have you tried using an alternative app?
I am using stock 2.3.3. I just downloaded handcent and it seems to work good so far. Its no big deal , just curious.
I had that issues with the stock ROM as well. I use Handcent as well and don't have that issue.
That said, it appears to be an issue on the Thunderbold too. Apparently Verizon and HTC are aware about it, according to what my VZW rep has told me.
Thanks for the infomation.
that is a problem with android, not HTC. Google has acknowledged the problem but there has not yet been a fix released.
Nope, doesn't seem like it happens on AOSP Android. My cousin has the sensation and the double word thing happens to me and him. We just use handcent.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA Premium App
I can't say that I ever had that issue with AOSP. I used Handcent most of the time then anyway because I preferred the interface to AOSP.
Never had this issue on cm7. I get weird errors too. For instance, if I type in landscape and send it then go portrait the last word I typed is shown. Sometimes after I reply to a message the message I sent shows as new. Unacceptable.
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk
It is definitely a bug that has plagued android for a long time. Here is a post where you can read about the different bugs that Android SMS has. Once again, this is not specific to HTC devices. I used to experience this same problem on my fascinate.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/31/android-still-has-horrible-text-messaging-bugs-thatll-get-you-f/
yeah i get that bug where you see a text you recently sent as a reply and the threat still has an unread.

Random text message.

I just recently flashed mikrunny's v1.01 and ever since I did so I keep getting this random text message from the number 6250 and the contents usually say either vzwnmn:1 or vzwnmn:2. At first it didn't bother me but now its starting to annoy me. Any idea of what it means/is.

Its was am idea Verizon had to let you know you had an email...turned into a bug. Forgot how to disable it lol
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
There are two ways to disable it. The easiest is to go into the message, push menu, and select block messages. I think it will ask you to set up a password, so do so. It will then say no messages found. Press menu, block list, and then press the plus button, and add 6250, and press okay. Then back out, delete the message, and you should never see another one again, until you flash a new rom.
The second option is to go to the my verizon website and go to the sync options and turn it off, but I always have trouble finding it and it doesn't stick between flashes either, so the phone way is just as good.
Thanks for the help. I love this community. Probably the most helpful out there

WhatsApp works fine... only gripe I have with it is it doesn't have the capability on Androids to only show one checkmark instead of 2 when a message has not been read yet.
iPhones have this capability, and as far as I know, blackberries do too...
but oh well...

I can confirm the single check mark is very much a feature in the android version.. turns to two when read. you might think it doesn't if the person you're messaging is reading the message instantly.

With all due respect, I think you guys are missing something here... I've already spoken to support and the 2 checkmark issue effects only sending a message to Android phones only. A screenshot does not do anything as I have no idea what kind of phone the recipient has.
1. If THE RECIPIENT has an Android phone and a message is sent to them, you will see 1 checkmark instantly, followed by the second checkmark a second later, regardless of if they read it or not. The only time it will not show the second checkmark is if the recipient phone is OFF.
2. If THE RECIPIENT has an iPhone, it will show one checkmark until the person reads it. According to support, this is caused by the way iPhone's handle the messages.
I've already had an email conversation with WhatsApp Support/Developers about this issue, and they effectively recognize the issue as Android's handle the notifications differently than iPhones.
So if your phones do it as intended (Recipients are Androids), then you obviously know something the actual Developers don't.
I just told you the recipient has a galaxy Nexus. even now, the double check mark hasn't shown up since he's probably sleeping. why would I lie about this?

Listen... it BLATENTLY states what I am trying to say in:
www.whatsapp.com/faq under "What are those green checkmarks next to my messages"
"We are glad you asked. These green checkmarks are actually very important since they function as message delivery acknowledgement indicators. Here is what they mean:
One checkmark - message successfully delivered to the server.
Two checkmarks - message successfully deliverd to the device of the chat partner. (note: this does not indicate that the message was read, just that it was delivered"
Not much more I could say to that. After speaking to the developers, they have no plans on changing this, and the reason why iPhones function that way is because of the way iPhones handle messages.

it means, his galaxy nexus doesn't have connection now (3g/wifi disabled, or phone off)
if the phone was on, and the 3g/wifi was enabled, u will see the 2 green marks right after the 1 green mark..i can confirm u this
also when a user receive the message in the background, he can open the notification or not (or also he can have the phone in the pocket and not unlocking it), thats why it doesn't mean the message is read..android can receive the message even if the phone is in standby with screen off, this doesnt happen on the iphone i think
will be nice if in the future they add a third green mark to indicate the message is read

[Q] weird text messages dont open them just yet

Anyone ever get weird text messages from a number 1007620000 it has s wierd string of alphabets and numbers and the word sisa ?????? The phone number is unknown if you try to search it and when I google it 3 things of interest come up that make sense 1 has something to do with (gov) eavesdropping 2 has something to do with a software called watchdog that cisco systems developed and microsoft and that ciq company are in on as well as others and 3 sisa also stands for Samsung information sharing act WTF!!!! WEIRD I didnt open the message but I googled it because it looked suspicious and then I deleted them I got 4 at the same time like bam bam bam bam I just deleted the text thread as a whole from the left touch button so I didnt have to click on it I was rooted using stock deodexed UVALH2 CIQ REMOVED and it happened right after I flashed xibit v32 (nothing against you wildchild you da man) thats just when it happened so sorry for the book just thought this might be useful can anyone shine any light on this please.

EDIT: ok i just found this. looks like an error in tmobiles system. this is not a new thing
Everyone calm down. These are simply system errors in relation to T-Mobile's email systems. You can get the answer straight from T-Mobile (though it takes a bit of searching).
I get these texts occasionally too.

"Unwanted text messages from +10476000000
01-22-2009 01:05 PM - last edited on 01-22-2009 01:07 PM
If you are receiving unwanted text messages from the specific number +10476000000 please read this and follow these steps.
T-Mobile has several kinds of email systems. The email system used depends on what kind of phone you have. The strange messages you are receiving means you have email setup on one specific T-Mobile email system known to T-Mobile reps as "consumer email", but your sim card is no longer in a phone that supports "consumer email".
The quickest way to resolve this is to put your sim card back into your old phone. Remove your email account from the old phone. Once your email account is removed, the consumer email system will stop sending those messages to you. You can put your sim card back into your new phone.
If you no longer have access to the phone with consumer email (Samsung Blast, Motorola W490, Nokia 6263, Samsung Behold, and several others), please contact us. A T-Mobile representative can remove your consumer email account directly from the network."
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
So, if the texts are that bothersome, you can always call T-Mobile to have them remove your e-mail account directly from the network. I'm not sure if that would cause problems on your end though. I know I need a gmail account to even use my phone (Android) that I have to sign into. Though it may be unrelated to that.
Hope this calms everyone down.

and another
Just got off the phone with tmobile. The agent said this would sometimes occur if your account is switching "my tmobile accounts" or you just recently got a new phone/another line. Also, if your phone was tapped you'd be able to notice it due to the fact that if you ever heard of cell phone interference I.e. you get the clicking noises (like standing next to a radio and you phone rings) it would be constant. So yeah to all the f***ers paranoid about being tapped...your not, and even if your were, you could call tmobile and ask them as they are required to inform you due to the fact that tapping any kind of phone is against the FCC laws.
