Weird SMS Anomaly - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Whenever I use the stock sms app and receive a message, I get this weird thing going on (screenshot is included). I'm running the the latest stock rooted OTA (LI3) currently but before then I was running MIUI and I didn't experience this issue.
It ONLY happens with the stock messaging app. I tried it with ChompSMS and other things to reproduce a 'ticker' notification in my status bar and I don't get it with anything else. At first I thought it was a defect with my phone but seeing as how only one app is causing it then it must just be the app.
Anyone have a clue of what this could be or a fix? I'm currently waiting for the stock OTA to complete downloading so I can reflash but it's taking a while.
Thanks for all the help.

This thread can be deleted. I reflashed the stock ota over my already stock set up and it fixed the problem.

Just wondering what was the problem
In the screenshot it looked like you sent your self txts

Yes I did. But look in my status bar beside the first letter of the incoming text message after my name. It was a strange thing going on. But it's resolved now.
Edit: It's back. I'm not sure why but I'm actually not bothered by it at the moment. If anyone could tell me, still, why this is happening it'd be greatly appreciated.

Are you talking about that phantom-like pipe character in front of the "T"?
The only thing I can think of is a corruption in system/framework, but I have a feeling that's just me reaching for an answer.

Yea, that's it. It happens on any character but I just decided to go with another SMS app.

is L13 an OTA release or is it a leak?

My SGSIII is still in the mail, but I'll keep your issue in mind. If I have the same problem, I'll investigate and let you know if I find anything.

Thanks. I think I figured out why I got that weird thing, I changed some font files so I was able to see emoji natively and I forgot I changed them.

Awesome. Thanks for the heads up

Well you never said you knew that in your OP now did you.
After you reboot and if you go to the log and select one of your text messages or voice mail when you go back into log everything goes away except voice calls so looks like it may just be a glitch that will hopefully be fixed with a update, but maybe you know that already as well.

Something that drives me crazy is the call log. Idk if its a samsung or touchwiz thing, but I had the Epic last yr for a few months and never tried a laucher to see if it changes. Is there a way to get rid of every single call? If I were to get 7 calls in a row from the same person it shows it 7 times. Is there a way to just have it show once rather than having your call log show every calls incoming and outgoing from "Joe".

sorry, this is my first galaxy phone... im sure there is a mod or at least another request thread for that matter....
Yes you need a modded logsprovider.apk. Now that root is acheived I am sure many things will be coming soon. Hopefully CWM will be next.

Dark Gmail?

Google should do this officially. It would be akin to adding the day/night mode from Google books.

As I understand it you'll need root access to delete the old gmail apk and move the new one to system, so yes.
You don't need CWM or a rom though, just root access on a stock rom and recovey will be fine.
Well I had to take it off, somehow it seems my google music stopped working after installing this. I made a nandroid backup beforehand and as soon as I rolled back my music worked again. Strange. Really seems weird that would cause any issue at all... Maybe it somehow messed up the account syncing since it would only crash the music when I tried to stream music, local content was fine.

Awesome, trying this now. Been hoping for this. The all white makes my eyes water in the morning because it is so bright...
The date on each email looks a little funny because its color is off, and at times goes outside the border. Also the read vs unread black/grey are very similar. It works though. I'll probably live with it.
I've been using this dark gmail app for days and like it. But just today i realized i went to compose a message and there is no way to send the final email. Am i missing something? Doesnt matter whether its a new email, or a reply to an existing email message, i cant send anything!
Am i being stupid or can someone test or confirm this? Thanks.

Been using these for a few weeks on gummy and CNA. Working great and they look good too.
Ok after more digging, this dark gmail is acting weird for me. It is the new ice cream version for everything including inbox etx. But when i compose a new email or reply to existing one, the compose window goes back to the gingerbread one, AND it has no send button. And no action bar etc. But if i go back to the inbox its fine there. I just cant compose.
Only change ive done is 2 days ago flashed the transparent status bar system ui apk. Im on stock 4.0.1. Anyone know what the heck could be going on here?

i just installed the gmail app from that link, and it is the old version just like it said. not the new ICS version. dammit i just want black gmail!
this might help other people. the link in the beginning of the thread had a broken gmail apk, the send button was missing with other stuff. it was all fixed and can be had over at this thread from the nexus s forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412997
that thread actually links back to the one at beginning of this thread, but dont know yet if they updated to the fixed send button version. anyway this has been driving me nuts and glad i finally found the solution.
regarding the other link to the (http://www.rujelus22.com/evo/downloads.php) i tried the google + from that and it also did not work, and broke my system UI. so i dont know if it needs to be for 4.0.3 or what, but i'm on 4.0.1 and it doesnt mention any info about that. hope this saves others some time!

Click on Address no longer brings up MAPS

Used to be able to click on an address in text messages or in any browser and android would open it in MAPS or EARTH or NAVIGATION etc.
I recently installed AOKP milestone 6 for the first time, coming from Caulks 1.6. I'm not sure if it's an AOKP issue or if it's a 4.0.4 issue or what. I do know my buddy just lost this function on his G Nexus when he updated to Jelly Bean. That makes me think it's not a 4.0.4 issue because it worked normally for him on ICS. I definitely haven't taken any OTA updates so even if it was part of the Apple patent bullsh!t how would it be effecting me?
This is really important to me because I use this function multiple times a day.
Also, Maps takes forever to focus when I zoom in on a map. Any ideas on that?
A quick search shows issues with strings.xml not associating correctly, regardless of app.
Did you clear, uninstall and try fresh with one of the apps?

Strings is just a way of using localized data contained to point to more data that it may contain. Its a SQL function, well, to me.
But I do not know if its a root or an app function within Android itself. Someone smarter than me may have that answer.
I'd try clearing cache and data for the particular app, removing, then reinstall. But it may be more severe of an issue if no app will work.
Did you recently flash a ROM?

I personally haven't used aokp, and I apologize for asking a question that you clearly answered in your op. Been a long day.
I'd check to see if anyone with your setup can recreate or maybe, possibly, you had a corrupted or failed partial file or a failed write during flash.

And to answer your question, I just searched "Android getlocality" which is geocoding. Which will point you to strings, which are generic.. We use it in my line of work. Environmental Engineering.. ( i'm not a tree hugger btw..)

Lol that's ok if you were. I just wondered bc I searched "address" and didn't find a thing related.
Ok just tested and it works in dolphin but not chrome. I just started using Chrome so that must not be a feature. As for sms I guess the it just doesn't work. I'll look into if I have a jelly bean sms app. I bet that's it.

And, to beat a dead horse deader, cause you touched on something I actually use, Andriod Chrome is using geocoding.. Odd that it isn't working for you. My maps in ICS have that function but it may still be broken in JB. Reference here.

My guess is that you flashed GAPPS directly after flashing the ROM, without letting it boot first. Or I could be wrong.

Sometimes I also have the problem, but only sometimes... clicking the back button seems to solve the problem.
I have installed the same version. My only concern now is that when I send SMSes I always got sent messages displayed twice (it seems they are sent only once anyway).
Does this happen to you also?
