[Q] Weird SMS's - HTC One X

Hi.
I have a problem , that i keep recieving weird sms's, but only when im on my stock ROM(And Venom too). Comes form a number "50" and contains my city then a 4 digit number, the number is ussualy similar, 9172 or 9173. The phone even asks me if i want to save the message.. What could have caused this?

Looks like cell broadcast, I didn't know that was an option on android I will have a look now. My old Nokia's back in the late 90s used to have the option to turn that on and it would just show up on the home screen.

Had similar problem myself. Clearing sim messages solved it for me. Messages-settings-text messages- manage sim messages

Does anyone have the problem where when you flip out the keyboard to reply to an sms (in the sms app) and after typing for a bit, the smses scroll up a bit and you can't see the text input box anymore? I suspect that it happens after all the smses are fully loaded in the app...

i find once in awhile that sms time fix app doesn't always fix the timetamp, but its better than nothing.
I have a problem when, deleting a message thread from within the thread. Menu, delete, confirm, etc. Then it automatically goes to the message list, but, pauses for 5-6 seconds before letting you do anything.

I believe it's related to pressing the function or shift keys. I think it scrolls up to show the icon at the status bar at the top.

I also have this issue. I'm somewhat relieved to know my phone isn't broken but am frustrated to hear that it's a longstanding software bug. Anyone know of any good trustworthy third party SMS apps? I don't particularly like the HTC one anyway.

Me too, it's a very annoying bug for a physical QWERTY phone!
There's a whole separate thread on the SMS/scrolling issue - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829535

Handcent SMS. You can use the HTC sense widgets with it too... even if they are slow.
have any of u had the issue w/ not being able to send photos that was the only issue ive really had besides the scrolling i didn't mind that too much but not being able to send photos through sms is a headache for me

Go to Settings > About Phone > Status > My Phone Number
You can enter your phone number there. Once you do so, it should display whatever image you have setup for 'me'.
I am running 6.1 at the moment and this fixes the problem but only TEMPORARILY. The phone number does not persist through a reboot so you have to re-enter it everytime. Not sure if this has been fixed in CM7 RC's or not. Check that thread in Android Development.

definitely well known issue with CM6. CM7 recognizes the number and brings it in every time.
Thank you! Lol that was extremely helpful

I am running CM7 RC1 and my phone number says "Unknown" and it is hard coded. I am unable to edit that. You know of a fix? My "me" icon is blank as well.
Figured it out go to settings/call settings/ additional settings and in there u can edit my phone number and it'll pick up quick

Pretty sure I already said this lol.
But fwiw my icon still greys out even though CM7 recognizes my number. It also doesnt recognize a few of my contacts for pulling facebook pictures down.
U told me to go to about phone I can't edit there and check u might have doubles or triples of certain contacts n it won't use the pic jus seek them out and join them or delete the doubles. And if u have a pic set it should use it. I don't like using fb pics cuz its a bunch of ppl I never talk too lol
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Yea well I don't have doubles its really weird. Just 3 of my contacts won't pull in pictures and it won't pull in my picture either.
I do use Facebook a bit. I have it set to only sync pictures with existing contacts, not pull in ALL contacts from facebook to my phone. That would be ridiculous.
So when you go to contacts and type the name of the person the pic won't show it only shows one? Cause when I scroll thru contacts it don't show the doubles when I searched them for some reason I had a lot of doubles. And after u went to call settings and added your number and your phone recognized it did u add urself as a contact?

Yea I even checked via gmail through my contacts lists I have no duplicates. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the FaceBook app and logging out/in again.
As far as my picture, I've tried creating a contact card for myself and it doesn't work.

Insert SD card ?

What's the deal with every time I try to save a mms it says insert sd card and the phone don't have one !

I have the same issue...
The only fix I have found is restarting the phone.
I have posted this question as well, with no answers....
Fix
I solved this issue by installing a 3rd party sms app (like chomp or go sms) and saving it from there.

I appreciate your thoughts, but I really want to stick with the stock messenger.
I will say that messaging around in the messanger settings ,hitting the default settings tab has fixed this issue so far

Seems like the reset worked for me aswell. I never had this issue when I first got the phone, this is something that seems to have happened during on of the upgrades, at least for me.
Also the option to set save point for images is grayed out in the MMS settings, I checked the selected value and even though the settings says to save to the phones storage it still asks for the SD card.
Anyhow I'm glad the reset worked. thanks for the answer

[Q] Messages app working too slow!!

PLEASE HELP! My messages app is working soo slowly! when I open a conversation, it says 'Loading' and after about 5 mins, the conversation opens up. It's so slow! Why? Is it because I have all the messages stored in my phone memory? or is it something else? How to make it fast?
yeah same problem here. Weird. Thinking its all the past messages. Guess you have to delete the conversation every once and awhile. Oh well.

Hi, I have the same problems . Your phone is repaired. Replacing the motherboard. After 10 days the problem is back. Yesterday I made a factory reset, 2 minutes today I opened SMS. I reported this problem HTC and they know nothing about.
Sorry for bad English.
Go to app info of messages, from there select clear data. It will probably solve the problem....or do a factory reset..

After much frustration with the slowness of the message app, I tried this and it worked very well so far:
From within message app, select Menu...Settings...General... and uncheck the first three (all three) options under "Recipient list settings."
I guess that limits your search options from within the app. For me I probably don't use that function anyway, and even if I did I would trade it for a quicker app. To me, text messaging is worthless if it is not quick, otherwise I would just call or email.

Group text

Ok I feel really dumb already. I'm having a problem with group text. Even if I create one they still don't come back to my phone correctly when they respond. It's like I'm getting double messages. Is there a way to change this or should I just try a 3rd party app. Feel like suck a newbie and this isn't my first rodeo.

For whatever reason, you have to turn them on. Go into your inbox > settings > MMS settings and then go all the way to the bottom. Check the box, make sure it says your phone number, and hit ok. You should be good to go.
