I searched all the forums about this issue but all I can find is things dealing with setting up text messaging. I have no network problems with data, text, or voice I just used the HTC network wizard.
Whenever I get a text message I can see the the beginning of the text in the selection screen but when I click on it the message is blank? So I can't read the whole text. I searched this Forum but couldn't find any people with similar problems. It seems to send them fine I just can't read the whole message for some strange reason. I have been clearing my memory and then flashing my Tmob Dash for the last three Kavana releases, they all exhibit this behavior. Any help appreciated with my problem.

Kavana 080408. The texts that I get show up on the main screen with a little bit of the text but when I click on them they don't show anything. I tried pressing all the buttons I can but it doesn't seem to do anything.
See is UNthreading them helps.
Uhm, just a silly guess here, but next time you're on the blank screen, click menu (right softkey) > 5 (Folders) > change to inbox, at least if it's not on inbox already. My friend changed his to sent and couldn't figure out why he couldn't see new ones either hehe
I looked everywhere in the messaging app and also the regular phone settings I don't see anything for unthreading. Also MMS can be viewed and sent normally. Just whenever I try to send or read a recieved text I have problems. When I try to send a text it doesn't let me type anything in at all. Not recipient and not the body of the text.
No I have already gone to all the folders. The inbox folder is where I can see the messages. You can read the begining of them, and who it is from but when you select one it doesn't show anything.
I had the same issue before, the problem disappeared after I uninstalled CE-Star (Chinese-reading problem).. do you have it installed?

Check in Accessibility Folder for unthreading.
DON'T Turn off the Damn active x
I finally fixed this problem.
I had a problem with WM 6.1 will only showing the headers and not allowing you to read the contents of : Text messages, Emails, MMS. This errors would also not allow you to write emails or text messages.
I thought Kavana's ROM had some big error with it but no one else was complaining. I downloaded Ricky's rom but same problem. So this weeked I fooled around with my phone believing it was some program I was installing. Even though I only install Google Maps, TCPMP, YGo, and Windows Live. I would install something then restart. I tried installing them one by one then it seemed to work but still after a time was becoming broken. I thought it had something to do with synching corrupted contact data. So I didn't synch but after a while it still came back.
This morning I finally realized that if you turn off active x it breaks the email and text which I assume both use IE active x The bad setting is.....
Main Settings Menu->IE Settings->Advanced Options -> NEVER TURN OFF ACTIVE X CONTROLS.
I think if Kavana, my personal hero, rolls another ROM you should take out this option.

I am glad to hear that you fixed and resolved your problem, and haha I hope that Kavana makes another Rom, he is awesome. But then again I got to thank Ricky for this rom to I love it.
hello i am having the exact same problem i checked all advice given i.e. make sure it is on inbox folder, check ie active x is enabled, and no change.
any advice
also when u do see the message headers like yianaki but when you select the message and then press a soft key it says"message cannot be signed and/or encrypted"
You need an encryption key for your email and you don't have it on your dash email, maybe. Just a guess. Is there documentation as to what you need to set up your email. What steps did you need to take to get your email on your home computer.
i actually have kavana 6.1 version 080408 so i just used the connection setup for US tmobile. and it was working previous to this problem. i did a hard reset now and its back to normal for now
SWEEEET!
Thanks "Y" you saved my life, I had the same problem. Keep Active x controllers checkmarked "On".
change IE option.
I had the same problem only can view the header of a msg, but can
t see the content. Here is what I did to solve it: go to IE\tools\option\general\encoding\change to Unicode
Cant Open Text Message.
Hi, I'm from Jamaica, I bought my HTC S621 from Digicel Jamaica [here]. I followed the instructions and installed WM6.1 80408 Kavana and it was totally amazing, I did it on Saturday and it worked great, everything was working GREAT. On Sunday I realized I was unable to open my text messages for viewing. When I click Text Message, the colour wheel shows and it starts to open then it closes. I did all the suggested this in this thread but nothing works, any more suggestions please, I really need to send text messages to my work crew and this is a major hindrance. I dont know how to soft or hard reset and would like to try that first, any other suggestion would be great. Thanks.
PLEASE dont laugh or throw tomatoes, I fixed it. In my attempt to load a Yahoo messenger app I installed an SMS application that was causing the issue. Problem solved, sorry to be a bother.

Just wanted to voice my agreement with Yianaki about "Never turn off Active X controls". The whole issue lies in the fact that the text messaging app is basically an Active X control. But I wanted to add the reminder that you need to make sure that the "Text Messages" app gets closed then reopened after you make the change, or it will not appear to work. (Use the task manager/celetask to close it)
I had the exact same problems with text messages: I could send an MMS, receive an SMS, but not send an SMS. When a text message came in, it showed up in the list as expected, but an attempt to view it resulted in a blank area with no useful menu options. I also couldn't send text (SMS) messages out because the create-new-SMS screen was blank and non-functional. It has nothing to do with the threaded vs unthreaded Accessibility settings for the phone, nor do you need to worry about configuring your WAP settings (GPRS and MMSC Settings); the "Connection Setup" app takes care of everything for T-Mobile perfectly. It's all an Active X issue.
PS: This is all on Ricky's v24 "Vanilla" ROM of WinMo 6.1 running on a T-Mobile Dash.
How do I get rid of that icon in my notification bar? Does anyone know which program causes it? I checked the settings for Handcent and ADW Launcher and I don't see anything about it there. Help please?
Running CM7.1.0_RC1 on HTC EVO 4G hardware version 002.
Getting Rid of the Phantom Voice Mail Icon (The one that shows up in the top left corner, NOT the text message issue.) Source
MAKE A NANDROID just in case, (though you may want to flash your preferred ROM from scratch)
Obtain/find/borrow/buy a second non-Android Sprint phone (old, new, ugly, doesn't matter but must have a clean ESN)
Take your EVO back to a stock rooted ROM such as RUU SuperSonic EvO 3.70.651.1 OTA - Stock - Sense or Version 4.12.651.1
Log on to mysprint.sprint.com (or call Sprint if you are more comfortable and have them do the following)
On the main page scroll down to your device
Select "Activate a new phone" from the "Manage my device" pulldown
Follow the instructions and activate the non-Android phone on your account (temporarily removing the EVO from your account)
Once the non-Android phone is activated, follow all the steps to activate your voice mail account.
Call your phone from a land line and leave yourself a message
Open voice mail on your old phone and delete the new message and any others. Check it thoroughly to ensure no messages are saved in VM.
Log back on to mysprint.sprint.com (or call Sprint back) and reactivate your EVO following steps 5-6 above
Once your EVO is reactivated it should automatically re-provision your VM account.
Follow the instructions to get your VM account setup again. If you get a "Data Call Failure: Error Code 67" message when you reactivate your Evo, you need to update your Profile
Boot into recovery (this would be a great time to update the radios, PRI and PRL and make sure you update your profile (see link in Post #1))
Wipe everything using both recovery and a FORMAT_ALL type zip of your choice (links in Post #1)
Flash the ROM of your choice (you can try a nandroid, but it may or may not work cleanly, YMMV)
Make sure to keep an eye on your bill after you do this fix as some have reported billing errors. A call to Sprint should clear things up.
There IS an easier fix, I'm just trying to find it....
Thanks for the reply, but it's actually not a VM icon. My VVM is working just fine.. It's an SMS icon. It comes up every single time I get a text message (saying "from: [phone number of person that texted me]") so basically I get two SMS notifications.
Clearing the mail or sms messaging app's cache may help in this matter. Rebooting into recovery and wiping the cache and dalvlik can also do wonders.
Posting & replying from my EVO 4G
My bad, I misread. If you're using handcent, go to stock messaging app and turn off notifications.
@HipKat - I've used Handcent for a while, so I always know to turn off the notifications on the stock messaging app. So yeah. the stock messaging app notifications are off. I know what the icon for that notification looks like anyway. This is different. Some other program is causing this. Thanks for the suggestion though.
@dougjamal - I actually recently re-flash CM7.1.0_RC1 on this phone, so I went through the process of clearing all the caches in the recovery. Also as I said in my reply to HipKat, this doesn't seem like a notification from the stock SMS app or the Handcent app, it's some other app doing this. Also it kinda seems to me from reading your reply that maybe you think that the icon on my notification bar is like stuck there. It's not. I can clear it with no problems. It just keeps coming back every time I get a text message. It basically acts as a duplicate notification of any SMS that I get, sort of like having my notifications on the stock messaging app turned on in addition to the Handcent notifications. But that's not the case. Like I said, I know what the stock messaging notifications look like. This is something different. Again, thank you for the suggestion but that's not it.
Here's some more info to see if maybe it juggles someone's memory so they can help me: The last time this happened to me I went roaming the internet until I found this post on some other Android forum and it turns out what was causing a notification like this one wasn't even a messaging app. It was a launcher/home replacement app of some kind, IIRC. This is why I mentioned in my first post that I went through my ADW Launcher settings and had no luck.
Do you guys have any other ideas by any chance? Thanks in advance.
Anyone got a solution for this? Still having this issue. :-\
This is what I did on MIUI
If you didn't make a Nandroid of your phone, Stock/Rooted, find on on here and flash it, after you make a nandroid of your current setup.
Once you're in Stock/Rooted, open market and make sure VVM is updated. Then d/l Titanium Backup and make a backup of VVM.
Now, nandroid back to MIUI, and extract the app from the Titanium .apk backup.
The actual name is com.coremobility.app.vnotes-6334abeb61350a3ac2629cb6dc18c56e.apk.gz
Unzip that and extract com.coremobility.app.vnotes-6334abeb61350a3ac2629cb6dc18c56e.apk to your sd card. Using Root Explorer, or whatever you use, install the apk.
Open TB, and restore data.
Open VVM, compose a message to yourself.
Done
Funny...
So what happens when you press the icon?
Sent by Supersonic!
@HipKat Don't you remember you already replied to this thread with that same message? It's not a VVM icon, my VVM is working fine. It's a SMS icon.
@imheroldman It asks me what messaging app I want to use, Messaging or Handcent. Whichever one you click just opens up that app and shows me the text message I just received.
Maybe check your running apps next time it comes up

Every time I open my address book (or at least the first time after a reboot) I get this AT&T address book verifying subscriber status popup that takes a while to complete. I have no interest in ever using that service so how can I disable the check and just stop using it at all?
I'm guessing that the answer might be root and remove bloatware but I'm hoping there's a way to just turn it off without rooting. Don't worry I'll be rooting sooner than later but for now I'd like to just get rid of that annoying delay.
I havent got my phone yet, should have it within the next 3 hours, but have you looked through the settings, and opened up the AT&T address book app and checked the settings within that app itself?
Yeah. Not seeing any settings for it or actually any AT&T Address Book App at all.
Yeah i finally got mine a few hours ago, but i dont see any options to disable it either.
I'm guessing this will be one of those annoyances that only root can salve.
Not sure about the s3 but on skyrocket I checked out the programs.. scrolled down to sync and disabled..
Rebooted and never got the error again.

Where exactly did you "check out the programs.. scroll down to sync and disable"?
I don't see anything about AT&T address book anywhere.
I have the same issue. Every so often when I go into my phonebook I have to wait for it to check the AT&T Address Book. So now there is a huge lag to access my contacts.
Why do carriers think they should be mobile phone designers? I wish they'd just leave the designing to the people who are good at it.
Over 10 years of buying my own phones out of contract for a reason. I've only had the phone for a few hours. I wonder what other lame surprises await....
Ok, I seemed to have fixed it. Not sure which action it was because I was just doing everything I could to make it stop.
First thing I did was to turn off AT&T phonebook in my online account. Log into www.attwireless.com. Under MyAT&T tab, mouse over "Wireless" and select "Usage & Recent Activity". Scroll down to "Members Shared Usage" and click on "view details of the number you're working on. Scroll down to "Minute Detail" and right under that is "Phonebook" with the option to turn it on or off.
At the same time I was doing a lot of flailing around in the the phone. I was Settings page in Contacts and I deleted all the AT&T BS contacts it auto inserted into the phone.
I rebooted and it stopped trying to access that AT&T phonebook. Hope this helps.
1. system setting
2. app manager
3. click on the phone book
4. force stop
Now it will stop and the icon will be removed from the app list. You can do this for all of the apps that will not uninstall till we get root.

In step 3 when you say "the phone book" do you mean the app called Contacts that has an icon that looks like a phone book? When I disable that app my phone dialer icon disappeared making it so I couldn't dial out. Had to re-enable it.
Otherwise, I dont have an app named Phone Book.

I was trying to disable the AT&T Address Book as well. I found out you disable AT&T Messages. Works like a charm.

I can confirm this method mentioned by Phoenyx worked. For me at least. No more AT&T Addressbook confirmation dialog when I go to Contacts. :good:

Hi I just got my phone the same thing happened. I let it load (the second time it happened the first time I hit cancel). I got a page that was basically an ad for att's backup service, I scolled down to the bottom and clicked on close (or whatever the button did say). Now when I start contacts no more "checking subscriber status etc".
I have not rebooted yet but will and if it comes back I'll post, if it doesn't then at least on my Galaxy SIII it was a one time event.
Unfortunately I have to retype this on my computer since midway through the keyboard stopped working.
I tried looking for any solutions online but got nothing.
Basically the keyboard functions, it registers what I press and gives predictions/corrections however the cursor stays in the same spot in the text box and none of the text can be entered. I don't get the "blah blah not working" window or any error window. I just can't enter text.
I tried going into app manager > All > samsung keyboard and clearning data but no use.
Oddly enough this rarely happens but when it does, it has happened on forums.
Second issue, this one is more concerning.
Today I noticed my samsung calender widget to be completed filled with reppetitive messages. It's the same message about a channel repeated for every single day, with one entry for all the years starting from the 15th for some reason.
It had a couple of entries filled within the task.
Again, I tried going into app man. > all > delete data
but got nothing
on Sam. Calender there is an option to delete repeitive entries that worked but now I'm concerned.
I know that it came from the only television app I had called TV Live (since the text was in russian and it's the only russian app I have) but I don't know how concerned I should be. I tried going through all the big antivirus apps like avast, kapersky, and 2 others but they came up empty.
Any percautions? Advice? Comments?
Anything will be helpful, and I appreciate any constructive comments.
notes: My N2 is the AT&T version, rooted, stock with Xposed framework on it but uninstalled temporarily even though Xprivacy is still working keeping track of all installed apps.
Generally very happy with new G3 (on Optus network in Australia), but two weird things driving me nuts.
1. With several apps open, hit the home button. All good, end up on home screen. Then hit the open apps button and it says 'No recent apps'. Repeat above steps and now it shows all those running apps and you have an enabled option to Clear All or can individually swipe them off.
Any one else seeing this. Never saw this with Nexus 5 I just lost and replaced with G3.
2. The keyboard entry on the Nexus 5 (if I recall correctly) worked pretty much the same for emails as it did for say SMS messages or Hangouts messages. i.e. if you had a bad typo you could position back into the word and all suggested corrections appeared to allow you to replace the typo. This is how SMS/Hangouts works but seems other text entry functions don't do this correction process the same way. Is it up to each app developer to control how this works or do they all use the common keyboard text entry 'widget' or control??
3. Hangouts. Seems that all of a sudden (probably an app update?) Hangouts (which I have selected as my default messaging app) tries to send a Hangouts message instead of a regular SMS. This is fine if the received has Hangouts activated on their device/account, but many of my contacts don't and I've suddenly realised they what I thought were SMS messages sent correctly have just gone into the ether. So step by step, if I go to Hangouts, search for a contact, select contact and start typing, I can see that it is telling me it's sending a Hangouts message, not an SMS. If instead I explicitly scroll in Hangouts through my contacts, and select one, it pops up their contact details and I get the option to select a message icon. When I now get back to start typing the message, it now shows the mobile number it will SMS (not Hangout message) to. This works fine, but is different behaviour to a week ago.
For all of the above, apologies if I simply don't understand the apps or OS fully yet. Learning ...
You can either clear all of swipe each to kill the app.
The stock keyboard sucks in my opinion. I use the Google keyboard without any issues.

Thanks - but my issues is that it says no active apps, and the Clear All button is greyed out. Repeat the process and now the apps which I know are open, are all there. The question is why first display of apps thinks there is nothing there.

Install a 3rd party keyboard, then set your new keyboard to be the default keyboard. Now restart your device and Disable the stock keyboard with something like titanium backup, reboot once more to be sure it is gone and notice how much smoother everything is... Most lag disappears... Just goes to show how crap the stock keyboard really is...

I've noticed this as well, only ever happens when I have more than a couple of apps open, it's like the phone fails to register what apps are open or something, but as you said if I try doing it again, they appear there open
Very strange, probably just a bug or something that will be fixed in a Firmware update...

Yeah I caved to pressure today and switched to TouchPalX. I've had it for years but decided to give the default LG keyboard a go, but after today's update I just gave up. Now, I've never had a smoother typing experience in my life!
