are you using the Smileys if yes it will convert to MMS
so you will have to make sure you are using Android smiles by pressing Options and then select add smiley instead of directly selecting the smiley button.

Rejecting call with text message (SMS not MMS)

Any help would be aapreciated on this:
Anytime I rejected a call with text message, it is always sent as a MMS as against been sent as a text message (SMS) and since my plan does not include MMS usuage, I always get charged for the service.
I uses this functionality a lot as I normally reject calls with text messages anytime I am in a meeting.
I remember correctly that messages used to be sent as an SMS in 6.1 roms and few of 6.5 roms I have used sometimes ago.
Can anyone help on this?
Cheers
on my phone it doesn't even work. i configured it so when i reject a call my phone should send a sms, it never does. instead of that i receive a sms: you have 1 missed call.
no, i did not miss that call, i rejected it!
big difference.....

Mine does work but I will get charged as it would have been sent as a MMS message, it is annoying because I know it can be sent as a SMS message and for free.
Help anyone?.............

I think the latest rom / manilla has fixed this issue. I currently use "grzegorz10's" and I can send sms without been charged.

[Q] MMS Problem?

Well I can't seem to send MMS on CM7. Halp plawks?

Need more info, e.g., are you using a custom SMS app such as handcent, or are you using the one bundled with android? Is it just a picture you're trying to send? Does it show that it's sending endlessly or does it fail? Do you see mobile data activity in the notification bar after you press send? Are you positive your recipients aren't receiving the message, and that your phone simply isn't realizing that the message was already successfully sent?

Sprint Visual Voicemail APK & Zip

I was looking for this and noticed many CM users looking for this as well, I tried on ICS AND CM10... it works.
Found zip (attached), flashed and it too works.

What's the version number on yours? I've got this version installed on CM9 and CM10 and it works beautifully.

I've used this apk on aopk, cm10 v5.0 & v5.1
And it works. Just install as you do any regular apk. Personal, I used rom toolbox, located the file and installed fined.
Yes, I do get 9016 text, but I barely get vms, so maybe 1 text per day doesn't bother me. It may be a CM think, but if I find a better apk, I'll update OP.

Yeah, I get the texts, too. I don't think there's a way to get rid of them if you want to use Sprint VVM.
I don't mind them. They can actually come in handy sometimes if you restore the VVM to a new ROM and it doesn't notify you of new voicemails right off the bat. The text still shows up when the notification doesn't. lol
Fixing the sprint visual voicmail apk to with with CM10
you need to record a voicemail, and then forward it to the following email address from within sprint visual voicemail: [email protected]
This will stop the text messages and sync your voice mail.
do you still receive the 9016 text everytime you get a voicemail?
---------
Edited
Didn't read the previous posts very well. When I was using the Optimus S with CM7 they had a Mms.apk that removed the 9016 text. Those can be really annoying. I like VVM better but right now I have to stick with google voice. I'm only using it for my voicemail and I don't get any texts so it works.

Exactly how do you forward the recorded voicemail? I tried sending it with Gmail and got:
Code:
Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
[email protected]
Technical details of permanent failure:
DNS Error: Domain name not found

Record it with the VVM app and then hit send. Compose -> Record -> Send to that address, all done within the app.

All I have is the microphone button in VVM. I record the message, then I only have the Share button with Bluetooth, Gmail, Skype, Voicemail, etc. I tried Gmail before with the above error message. When I try Voicemail with the email address you gave, the Send button stays grayed out. I suspect that it needs a phone number there.

hmm that's weird. I don't have VVM right now but that's how I reprovisioned it before.
Here's a solution THAT ACTUALLY WORKS because I just fixed it!

I recently switched from a TW based ROM to CM10 (and now PA2). I reinstalled the latest version of Sprint's VVM app which worked fine except for the annoying text message notifications from 9016. I searched all over the Internet for a solution. I read quite a few, "oh here's all you need to do ...worked for me...problem solved!" posts which frankly need to be deleted so others don't stumble across them and waste their time. Here's what I know to be true from my own research and testing using MY SAMSUNG EPIC 4G TOUCH aka Samsung Galaxy S2:
Texting "Block 9016" to 9999 - with or without the quotes - doesn't suppress text messages from 9016. You *will* get a lovely text from Sprint confirming that messages to and from 9016 are now blocked, but they won't be...because they're not supposed to be.
Recording a voicemail message - whether it's 5 seconds or 25 seconds - and sending it to "[email protected]" doesn't suppress text messages from 9016 - something you would have quickly discovered had you finally figured out that instead of sharing via Gmail/Email after you hit the share icon - which as Jim knows only resulted in a message not delivered notice - you instead needed to click Share Message and then in the To: field type [email protected], and then hit the return key on the keypad and then the send button. Had you been successful, you would have received yet another lovely text message from Sprint confirming that your voicemail service has been reprovisioned. As it turns out, reprovisioning your service doesn't suppress texts from 9016...because they're not supposed to be suppressed.
It occurred to me that Sprint needs to send a text from 9016 to alert the VMM app to download new messages from the VMM server. I don't need to see it on the MMS app because the VMM app sends a notification to the status bar. My hunch is that something in either the TW based ROM or the TW stock MMS app was coded to suppress texts from 9016. That "something" is apparently missing on the CM10 and/or stock MMS apps.
The good news is that "something" is not missing in the Handcent SMS app available for free on Play Store. I downloaded and installed Handcent and then disabled the stock MMS app. I didn't even have to add 9016 as a blacklist number. The Handcent developers baked the suppression fix into their code sometime in 2011 according to the release notes on their website.
Try Handcent and say goodbye to annoying texts from 9016 and say hello to pretty colors and cool features (neither of which you probably care about but it's free and I'm happy).
In ChompSMS just blacklist the number and its gone

Beginning with Handcent 3.9.8 - which was released over a year ago - the Sprint VVM 9016 fix is baked into the app itself, so there is no need to create a blacklist entry. Just download and install Handcent SMS, disable the stock Messaging app and it's gone!

Works great me for thank you
Sent using Xda App
For those of us who like the stock messaging app, and dislike clunky third party programs, or just like aosp, this doesn't help
I try to avoid solutions that say "Have a small problem with this otherwise perfect app? Use a completely different app!"
Nice! Thanks man! I just switched to an MIUI JB rom and it I really wanted my VVM back. It works on there fine btw.
Installed on CM 10 10-24-12 nightly build JB 4.1.2 Samsung epic 4g. Sweeeeeet! Thanks for this!

I can confirm that this works on CM10. I just installed the stable CM10 and then this APK, works without issue.

Galaxy S5 texts on the Moto 360

I can't appear to directly reply to text messages on the watch for some reason ? I have the option (reply or send to phone) but when I choose reply, all that happens is a green check mark comes up and it doesn't do anything.
Anyone else have this or know what I'm doing wrong?

I have the same issue with the stock messaging app as well. I really want to avoid connecting Hangouts and Texting.. the people I talk to do not overlap at ALL.

Well even with Hangouts set for sms on my Moto X, the watch sends texts using the "Messaging" app. And, touching that app in recent apps sends the message again and again.
Also, sending a text to a number sends it to some inexplicably chosen contact. If they can't get it right with their own phone, I sure others will have problems as well. I have returned mine and will try again next year.
I have exactly the same problem. Did you get that one sorted? Works perfect when voice replying to email but sms with OS messaging software doesn't work.

you can try textra, hello sms, or some other sms apps.. i recall trying those and i believe they work..

[Q] Emojis on Facebook for Note 4

I tried hitting the 'Sym' button on the keyboard for the Emojis menu but it doesnt pop up for facebook. Anyone know how to access the emojis for Samsung Note 4 to use on facebook?
Press and hold the microphone button next to the sym button, then click the smiley face and they're in there..
Are you guys able t see emojis when they are sent from you in text messsages and if you send them can the recipient see them? Im having that problem and it is very frustrating because my friends with S5s can send and receive them with no issue. Thanks.

first time I sent a txt my on my note 4 with emoji in it, a popup came up and said something to the effect of "if you send this text message then the recipient wont be able to see emoji, if you want the recipient to see emoji send this message as __________ instead.."
I cant remember what the keyword was though (the __ blank)
of course there was a "don't show this message again" checkbox, but if you clicked "ok" then it would send and wouldn't necessarly show the emoji in recipients txt msg, however if I clicked the other button, it wasn't called "cancel", I forget, then it would change the send mode for text messages and send emoji's so the recipient could see them..
im sorry I so vague on all the specifics, but perhaps you are sending in the wrong 'mode'? maybe someone else with some more knowledge can chime in.
