Hi,
Ever since I started using one x I have been receiving popup like sms messages. My previous phone was not a smart phone and I was not.receiving these. Please refer this image http://db.tt/l3PuMAd3
Is there a way I can disable them from phone itself?

Are you using the stock HTC messaging app? If not, that could be the source. Also, have you installed any apps that have ads? That could also cause your popups.

I am using stock messaging app. I have a bunch of apps installed, but how can I know which one is the culprit.

It's not something to do with your carrier is it? For example, with Vodafone you can get stuff text daily from them. In the app draw there's a Vodafone one that I can select news, weather, jokes, horoscopes etc.
Thats an alert message. I stumbled across how to make that happen on any phone a while ago.
When you send a text message put !! As the first two characters. It then by passes all app settings and pops up.
Never posted as it would be abused.......

Hi guys, strange problem is happening with me over last couple of days and as usual Vodafone are no help whatsoever at rectifying it, hopefully someone on here can help.
All of my contacts are working as normal with sms and mms except for one contact. When I try to sms this one contact the phone does not even attempt to send it, it only keeps the typed text in the typing box and leaves the icon flashing as if waiting for more text to be typed! If I add a subject title to the message it will send fine as an mms message to this person and can phone the person all fine...just the sms option not working.
Would appreciate if anyone has any ideas
Try recreate the contact and try not to sync the contact with any web profile you have.

Have tried this mate, even spoke to HTC earlier and the guy was pretty helpful but baffled. Am running tbfusion3d but dont think problem is with that as I've been using it for months. Tried installing handcent app there but same problem, send button just refuses to work with the one contact
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Can they send you a sms and then try to reply. Is the phone number stored(typed out) the same as the rest of your contacts? Try adding the number to an existing contact and see what happens. Deft strange tho. Subscribed
You have an extremely rare case here. Even if you've tried to clear the contact? Hmm, I don't think I can help you further no more. Sorry

They can text me fine but replying just draws a blank unless I add a subject title as an mms...really strange
Ps yes if i delete contact and only use number its the same

Ran across one of my friends with this same issue but for about 3 of her contacts. Tried everything short of factory reset.
Installed GoSMS and all good.
Does anyone have the issue of not seeing the contact pictures in third party apps like whatsapp and Handcent SMS?
The pictures are fine in People App but they don't show in other apps.
Anyone with the same issue or a known fix?
In handcent i just enabled it in settings an it wrks fine
Mod or Die
Yeah i did that but didnt help.

I just noticed that if i choose an image other than the facebook picture, then it will show in applications
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
my missus has the one x and has the same problem. i resolved it by downloading "friendcaster" and that allowed the facebook pictures to show in handcent/go sms
Yeah i know but i wanted to see if im not the only one. I am using syncmypix to do the job but i was wondering what might be causing the issue :/
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
apparently an ICS problem, I get the problem on my GNEX too
Yeah or it could be the apps have compatibility isuues with ics. The pictures show fine in people and dialer.

All you need to do is download the app Photo Unlocker. Your Facebook Sense photos are restricted from being used in other apps, but this app unlocks them so they can be seen in all 3rd party apps.
Edit: I noticed this app isn't in the market anymore. I have a titanium backup of it, so if anyone tells me how to get the APK from there, I can post it here.

Just to confirm recent whatsapp has updated and does.pull through contact pictures inc Facebook
I still didnt get the update. Will keep you posted when I do to confirm!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Neither can i find any of the mentioned software, nor i received an update for whats app... Can you share the app mentioned on the previous page.
THanks.
Yeah i still havent got the whatsapp update. Heres the link for haxsync:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync&hl=en
Its the only app that worked for me cz i didnt wanna set up friend caster.
Talking about whatsapp does anyone else get the message "try again later" when sending a picture to someone?

ANy other fix on this then rather than using a 3rd party utility?
Not that i'm aware of!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yeah I have the same problem.
Whatsapp doesn't show contacts (facebook)profile pictures.
Running all the latest Market versions of Facebook, whatsapp en handheld SMS.
There are no more updates so far.
Still no profile pics in whatsapp contacts list.
Anyone has a solution by now?
And dortok, can u upload that app Photo Unlocker please?
Is it possible to do something with Facebook for HTC Sense app, like delete or whatever?? Maybe fixes it?
It says Facebook for HTC Sense version 4.0.2215172619.345324.334711
Or clicking info: Version 1.00.0101.62864
Anyone help us out???
The only solution i have found is to use HaxSync from google play! It works like a charm!
I dont like friend caster since it is an app like facebook so more traffic and more data usage. Haxsync just syncs the pics and you can specify how often.

Hi there!
I don't use fb, so I have disabled all related apps. But when I check the taskmanager, there is "facebook for HTC Sense" always listed. I don't want to have facebook running on my phone, so, how can I get rid of it?
Thank you for your help!

Go into settings, then apps, click on all, go down to facebook for sense, then disable .

That's what I've already done, as I wrote before. It won't stop running
Sucks it can't be deleted. Only the updates and its annoying that the update keeps popping up.

Dose anyone know an app that will steal-prof my HOX ? I was using HTCSense.com with Desire HD but now it's not available anymore . I was thinking about something like send a SMS with a specific password the will lock the phone , display my contact info , turn GPS and Mobile Network/WiFi ON and delete my important data like contacts , photos , SMS , Accounts and the rest !
Avast Mobile allows you to do most of those sort of things by SMS
I use the paid version of Kaspersky. Apart from the anti-stealing features, it has excellent call blocking features. Of course, anti-virus is present.

I'm currently using Cerberus, I'm sure it does all you want.

The app "where is my droid" does it aswell, including notification of a simcard change on theft

Avast free version do all things . Lock phone through sms , it will send sms and location on sim change.

Cerburus does alot of things like take pictures using the front facing camera, when the person who may have stole the phone trys to unlock it! Has huge list of features

Cerberus +1
One more vote for cerberus. I lost my hox in a cab and found it 40minutes after.
About call blocker, i think sense has this by default, or it is a feature of ARHD, because i see that option in mine.
Another vote for Cerberus, couldn't recommend it enough!
It's very well priced and it can work with multiple devices.
Assuming the phone is reset to factory defaults before changing sim etc...it can't be tracked?

If someone what's to steal your phone they will. No app will make it steal proof. Why don't you just encrypt it if your worried about the data.

Install Cerberus as a system app. Only way they can stop it being tracked is a full wipe and flashing a new rom. Are phone thieves that smart/knowledgeable?
technically you cant "steal proof" a phone, only track it down after its been stolen...
Just seen this thread and downloaded Cerberus straight away. What an amazing app. So many features all remotely accessed via your PC or SMS. Also love the fact that you can designate up to 3 trusted numbers (friends or family) to have messages sent to in the event of a SIM swap, and those numbers can also lock you device for you. £2.40 is nothing to pay for that amount of funcionality!
Got my one the day after release day from Verizon. I've been noticing a couple little bugs going on with the messaging app and want to see if anyone else is having the issues. Friend of mine has the phone to and he seems to be issue free.
The first issue is when hanging up a call, I often get a " unfortunately messages has stopped". No idea what's causing it but it's happening Pretty frequently.
The second one is hard to explain but I'll do my best. A few times while messaging multiple people individually, it some how puts the full message that I just sent right back into the text field. Almost like I never sent it but I did. Ends up saving the message as a draft so I have to erase it. I haven't figured out the exact steps to make this happen but if I do, I'll post it here.
Anyone else having these weird issues?

Not sure if this will help you, but I had imported my old messages into the new phone during setup using the HTC app (I forget what it's called). Messaging was messed up when I started using the new phone. I deleted all messages and cleared the messaging app cache. All perfect since then.
