I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on this. I am using Handcent for messaging, and I use the popup feature. Anytime I send a text, the last word of the text I send stays in the input field for the message. So I have to delete the word before I start typing my next message. I am using the Swype keyboard, and to be honest I haven't tried to see if it does it with the Samsung keyboard, but regardless has anyone seen this before?
Also, does anyone have a messaging app that has the popup feature that they like better than Handcent?
Thanks in advance...
I had that issue once, back up your texts, go to settings, applications, handcent, clear data, then force stop. It worked for me, but also you can try uninstall and reinstalling the app. Hope that helps

Hello!
When I send a new SMS, the sms is sent to "unsent messages" (But still sent to the recipent). So whenever I turn on my
phone, the sms that went to "unsent messages" are sent again, so that means the sms is sent to the same person twice. This, as you can understand, if quite frustrating, as it causes a lot of confusion and trouble.
Anyone experienced the same? I've tried to factory reset the phone, but it's still not working properly.
I also checked all the settings, but I can't find anything wrong. I haven't touched the settings prior to the problem either.
Also, I can't send MMS, perhaps it's related?
All answers are greatly appreciated!
Which network/country is this with?
If it's unsent and you exit the app, when you go back in it should be marked as unsent or still in the compose pane. How is yours?
Never had that issue myself (I'm a heavy texter).

Hey-
Interseting problem that I'm hoping someone may have a "fix" for. I'm running the Thunderhawk III rom on my epic. Whenever someone sends me a text from an iPhone, I have to "download" the message before I can read it. Never happens with any other type of phone that I'm aware of. This happens when using Handcent and Go SMS, however, if I'm using the stock SMS app it comes through fine. Anyone with any thoughts or fixes? Thanks in advance for any help.

Go to the stock sms app and then settings then turn on auto retrieve message, do this on go sms and handcent as well.

It's a "feature" of iOS.. seems apple in all their wisdom deemed to send most all sms as mms, so normal phones (android) see them as mms and will occasionally have to be "downloaded"
oh, and the wonderful "feature" also in iOS about replying to texts that were sent out to multiple people, by automatically replying to all.. apple FTL!
I keep getting a notification from all the different SMS apps I have tried that is called "Hidden Sender Address". When you click on it, it takes you to the app but not to a message. Chomp SMS indicates it is an MMS message. I cant find any unread message in the stock app or any aftermarket ones.
Regardless, I cant find it to delete and it wont stop showing up in the notification bar. Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of this?

OP, have you been able to fix this issue? I just received the update to Jellybean and am currently suffering from the same issue. I have tried deleting all messages and clearing the app cache but haven't been able to get rid of this notification.
I'm actually receiving the same false notification and it started today for no reason other than opening an mms. On galaxy s3 CM10 preview
Nope...havent found an official fix. If I use Chomp, it doesnt appear. GO and Handcent and it shows back up anytime I receive a new message.

If you're using a 3rd party messenging app, disable the auto-retrive MMS. Go to Stock messenger and enable auto-retrieve MMS.
I use Chomp and this fixed the problem for me. Hope it helps.

Yes this is how I got around it but I couldnt find the options in Go or Handcent to disable MMS retrieval. So I am stuck with Chomp which is not the best of the three IMO.
Just started getting this today as well on GO SMS. Easiest fix- Option key, More, Mark All Read. Cleared them out for me and the notifications thay wouldn't go away are gone.

In handcent you can go to "receiving message settings" and disable auto retrieve. My sister uses handcent and hasn't received any MMS problems since.
Hey guys. I had this pop up last night after receiving 2 MMS in a row. Setting the auto retrieve off did not fix it but "mark all read" did. Just to let you all know.
I am on Motorola Atrix CM10 4.1.1 using Handcent
I believe there is a feature to mark certain contacts/conversions as secret. That I'd what that notification is. Look in your settings for something that refers to that. Those messages don't go to inbox but separate folder. Think you might have to password them to access.

I think what you are talking about is the private inbox. Those still come up and go away just like normal text messages except they bounce to the private box. That is not what we are talking about here though

Just wanted to say thanks for this. I have a Galaxy S III and started getting this as soon as I got 4.1 on my phone, drove me nuts. Just googled hidden sender address and found this thread.
Hidden Sender Address notification !!!FIX!!!
I was having this problem the other day after installing a jellybean messaging app. It worked fine for a day or so then I started getting "Hidden Sender Address" all the time and then wasn't even able to delete my texts. I would delete the entire conversation and it would still show that there was a conversation there, but it was all empty.
I contacted at&t to see if they had any ideas and the only thing they could come up with was factory reset. Screw that I knew there had to be another way. I'll never trust them completely!
I contacted the creator of the app and this is what he had me do and it did work:
If you have root you can clear the DB by deleting this file (apparently):
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
Of course that will delete all your SMS and MMSs, but you can
(hopefully) back them up to gmail and restore them afterwards using
SMS Backup+.

Why cant he just update the app to fix this issue?
Any news on this fix by the developer?
FIX!!!!
OK Everyone. I have resolved this issue on my Galaxy SIII and your are more than welcome to replicate this but beware, you may lose your SMS history.
First you can either delete all SMS. I didn't want to do this for obvious reasons.
Second, scroll all the way to the bottom of all your SMS. If like me you have oodles of them this might be annoying and take a while. At the bottom I found a sender called 'ANONYMOUS'!!!! Sounds ominous doesn't it.
I deleted this thread and since then I have nto had this message appear. ALTHOUGH.... i lost all my SMS as a result.... LOL whoops. bug time!
Please note. I also disabled auto download MMS, cleared badgeholder cache (which temporarily works), readded SMS icon and disabled google hangout from picking up SMS and neither of these permanently resolved the issue but feel free to try these first as you probably should do as they are non destructive.
:good:

Sounds like a rom issue because handcent works fine for me with that feature on sky rom

I'm having the same issue, it just started after the OTA update the other day... it happens in both handcent & stock msging app. I've sent this person a billion msgs before but now when i type in the name it doesn't appear... I have to go into my contacts and select it individually. I've restarted my phone, cleared cache, done everything I can think of save for uninstalling and reinstalling handcent but since it happens with the stock sms as well I don't think handcent is the issue...
it also only happens with a select few contacts (naturally the one person I text most, and a couple others) ... help?
whenever I have issues with handcent, I clear the data for the app through application manager and uninstall handcent/reinstall...My Note 2 on Cleanrom 4.0.5 works fine with Handcent
My usual app doesn't allow voice replies to text messages so trying to find a new one. Textra seems very nice but I'm not getting the vibrate, pop up on my watch. I get the notification if i scroll down to it but nothing pops up. Any suggestions?

hangouts:good:
Thanks for the info. Yeah hangouts works well, but it lacks a lot of features. I found Textra. Works great, looks great, has all the usual features I love like replying through the status bar, but most of all it allows voice replying with my watch!
I tried out Textra and liked everything about it except how it pulled my favorites from my contact list and put them in the quick contacts. I couldn't find a way to remove some of the quick contacts without removing a Favorite from my contacts... so that extra space taken up at the top of the screen...plus my keyboard popping up at the bottom made the view window for typing a message very small and hard to use.
I found chompSMS (which is put out by the same developer as Textra), and it's exactly what I was looking for. It allows the option to reply on the Android Wear device with a Reply button (like Textra)... and it's running great with no problems. If you haven't settled on a SMS replacement app yet, you might want to check out chompSMS.
Been using Google Messenger to reply for voice texts, and Wear Messenger to reply via text on the watch. You need to have Minuum installed though, works pretty well for replying with a keyboard.

I actually received an email from Minuum about their version 3.0. Although I see it can only be installed via adb which I'm not to knowledgeable about. But how does it work? Are there only certain apps that allow you to respond to texts? How do you pull up the keyboard cause usually when you hit reply, it just does voice input.
Also to add, I found an app called Coffee. Allows you to respond to sms with voice, and a bunch of premade texts and you can also add to it. Also it appears to just pull the notification from your phone so even if your app doesn't support android wear, you can still reply via voice with this app. Will be testing more though.

Yea, you have to install through adb and set it as default through adb. I can find you the steps if you'd like. Also, the only text messenger app that allows keyboard reply is Wear Messenger. But I'm going to try to take apart google messenger apk and try to see what I can do to the wear side.
EDIT: For those that aren't very good with adb, here's the steps to install minuum: http://support.minuum.com/knowledgebase/articles/394385-minuum-on-android-wear
I'm also using Coffee, but I keep getting the "Let's get started" card where it says to flick your wrist to send a message. This functionality doesn't work for me, even though the option is ticked on the phone app. No idea why that won't work, and haven't had a reply from the developer yet.

I actually emailed the Dev about constantly getting that notification. No reply yet.
Other than that, the app is working great. I did untick that feature as I don't need it but I think when I first downloaded the app, it didn't work for me either.

The problem I have is that I need to use TMO WiFi calling at my house. I have zero signal there. And unless I'm using the stock app for messaging I can't receive or send MMS or group messages. So none of the 3rd party apps for SMS work for me. The irritating thing is that the manual for the watch says it has the reply option. (it wont let me post the link here)
So unless there is a work around for 3rd party SMS I'm SOL. So far Sony has not responded to my request for a fix.

Try coffee SMS out. It gets access to your notifications so you can respond with voice even if your messaging app doesn't support wear. Only thing is I had to uninstall coffee because it causer battery drain.

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar! This works PERFECTLY! I don't get notified of MMS messages but that's okay. They still show up on my phone. If this was imgur I'd give you +1 fake internet points.
