Every so often I get a small message box appear stating "sending". This appears over whatever app I'm currently in.
Haven't sent a text for hours ..... and I can't see any SMS output in the stock messaging.
I'm on bigxie ROM with Franco kernal if that makes any difference ......
Thoughts? Have I got some malware???
Maybe try looking in "Data Usage" under Settings (make you go into the menu and choose "Show Wi-Fi Usage" if you're using wireless) and see if there's an odd app showing up? It must be some app you have installed, I wouldn't immediately think malware though. Are you using stock kernel/rom?
Those used to be called Toast notifications but i think they changed the name of them. They may not be coming from the messaging app. They could be coming from anywhere.

Cheers for the replies ...... just hoping it isn't something sending premium rate texts!!!
bump ....
im still getting these occasionally.
Its definitely nothing 'premium rate' SMS type issue ....
any thoughts as to how i could find out what app is causing these ? its often when i have a browser open - but this could be stock, dolphin or even Opera.
Its just a message box appears saying "sending" ... hangs for a couple of seconds and then disappears ....
Still on Bigxie with Franco but on much newer versions.
Weird man, nothing I have seen on a stock gn.
You should search the forums for an app that will log what apps display toast messages
Blimey there are a lot of devs who have used Toast in their App name .....
Anyone got any suggestions for an App that would log what is Toasting me ??
I think I narrowed out to chrome beta just by trial and error

Once in a while the SMS icon on my launcher dock will stop launching the SMS app and will start launching whatever app I was using before that. Anyone else experiencing this?
I'm attaching a youtube video of it (pardon the half assness of it)
+1 This has happened to me also. Not just the messaging app though. Happened with Google Music, Wordfeud, any app really. I have to back out of all the apps (close them all?) to get it to stop. It's only happened twice.
This has been happening to me for the past couple of days now. For me, closing all my background apps doesn't help. The only way to get things working again is to reboot the phone.
Yes has happened to me once. Rebooted to fix it.
Also have had an issue when composing a SMS message and then wanting to delete it before sending. I delete the text I typed and when I go back in the app the text is still there. Anyone having a problem with that?
happened here with various apps too.

Looks like most people that have had this happen have Verizon/LTE versions. Anyone had this happen with a GSM version? Just curious if it may only be a bug with Verizon's side.
I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus and I've had this problem as well. Only thing that fixes it is a reboot.
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?
Thanks

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.

There are not "hundreds". Mainly any that would be specific to app functionality and send/receive settings.

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

And you said you removed the stick messaging app from your system?

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

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...

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

I am having a issue that started today for some reason. When I try to send a text message or any kind of message for that matter from the messaging program that comes on the phone....the message just sits there and say sending..... underneath what you are trying to send. So that tells me its hanging and net getting out. I can receive message with no problems. Can anyone direct me of what to do to correct it ? I have made sure all my settings in Network settings are the way they are suppose to be like they have been all along. Any help or directions or ideas would be so great. Thanks for your time.

more details.. on stock?
silly question but you'll be surprised... have you tried rebooting?
wipe caches?
fix permissions?
3rd party messenger?
yeah I have went over all that. I have checked all the messaging settings/permissions. I have rebooted a number of times. I have cleaned out all cache that I can...even with deep cleaner apps from the market. I even tried to install and use the handcent messaging app from the market and I get the same results. I try to send a text and the message notifier just sits there and spins because it is not going through. Again though, I can receive messages. this is really beginning to upset me.

well i did something tonight and it corrected everything. I installed a new rom on my Samsung Galaxy S2-t989. Its called the Tuesday Rom. It works really awesome. My phone is sickly much quicker and system storage and my main gig drive space increased because this new rom requires less space to install. Check it out. awesome !!!!! Look for the video on youtube..search these keywords.....Tuesday ROM for T-mobile Galaxy S2! [SGH-T989]
Just wanted to see if anyone else has been experiencing the same thing. I haven't experienced any lag with this phone whatsoever except for the stock messaging app.
1) Sometimes when I open the messaging app, the preview of a text messaging thread may be from many hours ago and then "refresh" itself to the most recent text. Essentially when I open the app, the preview shows a much older text message and then after a couple seconds will show the most recent one.
2) Sometimes when I push send on a message, it will take a second before the text is actually sent so if I continue to text, it will add on to the previous message until sent.
The only way I've found to correct this is to switch to the "SMS/MMS" tab, which seems to correct the lag, but of course any time you push the back button out of the app, it goes back to the deault "all messages" tab when opening. I also tried holding down the tab titles and it brings you to a screen which it almost looks like HTC was going to give the option to remove other tabs but the boxes cannot be unchecked.
Anyone else running into these issues? Find a solution?
Yeah ive noticed the same weirdly enough I don't feel lag when using sliding messaging app or textra

I don't recall having any of those issues but for me what happens is when I open the message app, in the list of people I've been texting, it shows their phone number for a second, and then it switches to their name. And it only happens once in a while. Like right now, it's not happening. Weird

I have these two issues.
This stock HTC Messages app automatically closes when you back out of sending a reply message, so it doesn't refresh the preview list like previous HTC phones on a reply. On the same token, it appears that it completely quits the Messages app, requiring you to load the names from the Contacts app when you open the Messages app without replying to a message. If you press Home rather than Back, when you open the Messages app again, it loads the messaging screen with the contact you most recently messaged, the person to whom you just replied. If you open the app and send a message, then press Back, it loads the list again, and everything is all good. It's all very odd.
Well glad to see I'm not the only one. I had tried Handcent, Chomp, etc with nothing but lag and other issues. Thanks to the response from NSRpxndxhou, I tried Textra and actually really like it. Best replacement text app I've tried.
I like how HTC's stock messaging app looks, but it ended up simply being too slow. I switched to Textra, enabled the dark theme and never looked back. Silky smooth performance, even with giant threads.
I am in the middle of an email conversation with the guys at Textra. I love the app. But my group messages are not working correctly. Those guys are great. Within one day I got an email with an update to try.... make that two updates. Just got another one while typing this.

Textra does seem nice, but there are a couple things I would miss from the stock messaging app. I like the ability to search ALL your text messages to find a specific text. I also prefer to have the time stamp on each and every text like the stock application does. I also don't like how it shows the contacts phone number below their name.
I would likely use this as a stock replacement if they were able to integrate all those features.

You may want to consider going into messaging->settings->general and adding a text limit (default at 200). When you do this you will notice your messaging to be a bit more zippy. This is because its not trying to open all of your old previous messages (which can be in the thousands).

I had a Messaging app issue when I had too many messages, which was fixed by deleting them, but that whole "reloading" issue seems to be separate.
Even with a few messages, it tends to reload upon reopening the Messaging app. Really weird why it does it...

Had this issue as well, found out that if you go to the stock messaging app settings > MMS > then connection settings, this gives you the APN. Copy that URL and paste it in the Textra MMS settings. Mines worked flawlessly ever since. Not experiencing any lag like the stock messaging app, and have noticed no difference in features.
