[Q] Freaky texting issue

I was wondering if anybody else has seen this issue. When I rooted my phone and installed my first custom ROM, I installed ChompSMS as I had purchased it some time ago. But when I tried to send a text using it, it would not send but would receive. I had to use the stock messaging app to send messages.I finally had to just remove it. I installed Handcent SMS instead and it worked fine. I newer version of the ROM can out and I decided to do a clean install. After doing this, Handcent SMS would no longer send messages but would receive. I had to use the stock messaging app again to send messages. I removed Handcent and thought I would try ChompSMS again and sure enough it works now. Is this particular ATT or the note 2 or something else entirely?

have you tried just unistalling either app then reinstalling it. when you say you are updating/changing roms are you restoring from an app or just downloading everything over again?
it maybe the way you are restoring the app its self. or maybe even just clearing cache and data from the chomp or handcent and reboot to see if that clears it up. i dont think this issue is tied to the phone.

I was installing the app from the play store.. I have tried removing and installing again, and I even tried restoring a backup from TB from a date when it worked. I restored without data and then with and that didn't help either.

and this was even happening on your stock Rom?
or not until you went to a custom rom?

Never tried it on the stock rom. The stock rom was only on it long enough to get from the ATT store to the house. I rooted it and customized it right away. I seem to recall this same issue happening on my original note a couple of times. I will try to get some more info to post here.

[Q] Verizon GNex CM10.1 MMS/handcent issue

I have been having an MMS issue on and off since january. I have been on CM10 and 10.1 nightlies since December. First it was that they wouldnt send right away, then resending them would work. Wasnt a big deal since i only send a pic like 1 or 2 times a week. Figured it was because it was a nightly issue, never dug into it, figured in a few days it would be resolved in an update kind of thing. Well a few weeks go by and suddenly it stops working. And the only way i can get MMS to send is if i have someone send me a pic first. At this point i did some searching and posted on the CyanogenMod forums, to no avail. Both Handcent(my primary MMS app) and the android default just were not working. But my mobile data was fine on 3g and 4g Well about a week ago it all stopped. I would get the downloading window, but nothing would ever come, and my pics would just spin and spin.
So today i had enough, and did the following:
I downloaded & installed CM10.1 M1 (because it was working for me back then i believe) And immediately got a pic that i sent to myself from my work phone. Thought awesome, problem solved. Brought up titanium backup and restored Handcent & Messaging from backup, and figured my settings and messages would be back and good to go. Boom, MMS no longer works. Restarts, battery pulls, network reprogram, still doesnt work.
Okay, so i go back, bif my cache & settings in CWM and reinstall CM10.1 M1 and MMS works fine. So i wait, make sure its not a timing/network update issue. 20min later it still works. So i figure it must be some setting or my handcent install that was screwed that Titanium Backup restored. Oh well. Install handcent from market fresh thinking that would be the end of it. MMS stops working immediately after install.
Uninstall handcent & restart, MMS works fine on the default app.
I checked the MMS auto download settings in handcent when i had it on there, had it grab the MMS automatically, and while roaming as well, went through every setting screen 1 by 1 because i love handcent, it has always worked for a charm like me and i liked the customization of it.
Does anyone have any input or suggestions on how to get this working?

Synergy Rom for Sprint GS3 Question!

I am planning on flashing the new Synergy Rom for Galaxy s3, I see it is available for all carriers, but there is no dedicated thread for it on the sprint part, I see it is on the Verizon threat and it says works on all carriers....is there any other files I need to flash along with the main zip to make it work for sprint, or is that included all in that one zip.
source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792499

It's all included... some reports say that with Sprint you need to flash, let it try to boot (it won't boot) and then dirty flash over top of it again and it should boot up
SPRINT GS3 FAQ

It works well. But you can't update profile/prl. Also if you want to install custom kernels must be Sprint versions.

Runs nice. In am on it at the moment.
Synergy ROM + Ktoonz w/ Team Kernelizers tweaks

Phone not yet activated message Sprint S3
Just flashed the synergy ROM, and I could not get the phone to work. I re-flashed it several times, and tried all of the options in the setup before flashing. The data worked fine. The phone would dial Sprint customer svc for a second, and then say phone not yet activated. I had CM 10.1 on there, but that was not for me. I wish this would have worked, but I suspect someone here knows the fix. Maybe a bad download? It took 1.5 hours over slow hotel internet.

unnntil I "lost" data connectivity (it turns it off when you remove the icon in the quick access menu.) And tried "restoring" a good data connection. That made it mad and now I'm back to no service. I am an idiot. I'll re-re-re-re flash it tonight and see what sticks.

I've noticed this as well. I didn't think it would matter at all though. Everything works GREAT that I tried. BUT I found out after using it all day today, that it has a flaw with sending and receiving MMS... For me anyways. I can get on my 3G connection just fine and it pulls up websites, sends and receives emails. The phone also calls out just fine and sends and receives SMS no problem. Everything works great except for the MMS (be it pictures or an audio recording)
I've tried - Updating profile - didn't work
- switching my data connection from LTE/CDMA to just cdma.
- Wiping internal SD card (not just data/cache but the whole SD card VIA cwm) and reflash rom
- I don't know what else to try
Anyone have this problem? Anyone know what I may do to resolve it?
I've looked around and I got to the point where I entered in a special code which would reboot the phone and activate it. Too bad it didn't work and I had to restore the stock rom for it to do that process (Hope it doesn't charge me an activation fee)
Thanks so much for any input! I like the liquid smooth rom I'm on right now, but man I love the camera too much on the touchwiz roms and so far it seems like this synergy not only gives me the speed of aosp but the look of touchwiz and the note2 camera. Would be nice if i can get around this hurtle

Update on my above post
Just an update - I got the MMS to work by using GO SMS from the play store. I thought it was a long shot to install a different messaging app, but now I can both send and receive MMS! It still wont work through the normal messaging app (Sending MMS results in it acting like it went through, but never reaches its destination. Receiving MMS would constantly ask me to download it, then fail when I would click the download button.) But then when I go into this go sms app and try to download it, it works just fine, and sends just fine. The options in this app seem pretty awesome for a free app anyways so I'm actually kinda happy I had to find a workaround
It seems when I downloaded this app, that the messaging app would often forceclose after receiving a mms. To eliminate this, I just went in the messaging app and turned off notifications and auto retrieve MMS. no more force closes
Hope this helps anyone else who may be having this issue!
Have a great weekend!!!

Thanks for this info! This new Synergy ROM is very nice, and I had not noticed the mms issue until today. Mine actually rebooted a few times while the messaging apps fought it out. I think I have it sorted now. I am glad I continued to try getting Synergy installed.

Thanks for the workaround hopefully they try to fix this in the next update. So I've had read that the next's update, the team will concentrate on Sprint :fingers-crossed:

The thread that you provide it, got me thinking allot and I'm afraid of restoring my phone to a backup I had made before installing Synergy Rom. Me thinking if I do something more I will end up having no service or phone number . I never seen this happen before

Did you click the activate this device button under settings? That is completely not necessary.your phone its already activated otherwise you wouldn't even be able to make calls. The activate button is for when you first get the device it activates it on sprint's side

Moto 360 not sending texts

I'm not sure if this is from the last update or not but I cant send a text message using the watch. It comes up, says it sending, then it says "message sent" but when I look on my phone, I don't see massage that was sent. I'm using Google hangout out app for text.
I have reset the watch and still no luck.
Thoughts?

I think this is happening for me as well. I'm on att with nexus 5.

Hummm....Maybe it after this last update?

Yeah it definitely was after the last update.

Are you using google hangout?

Yes I'm.

Its weird, it freezes my phone when I send a text. I have hit the "home" button to unfreeze it. Does this happen to you? I tried to uninstall the update but it didnt help. I even tried a different launcher instead of NOVA and still happens.

i think my next step it rest the phone, but that is such a pain!

anyone else having these issues?

Me too here. Definitely after the update. It doesn't let me reply by voice. It sucks!

I did try using it on my other phone and it seemed to work fine even after the update. Im currently in the process of wiping out my phone and restoring it to see if it fixes the issue

factory wipe and restoring with TB fixed my issue.:laugh::good:

Moto 360 and S3, Me Too...
I have just spent the most frustrating 2 days trying to get my wife's Moto 360 to send text messages.....it wont. All I get is to be told to use the phone... which loses the point of getting her the watch in the first place. It will send e-mails, but wont reply to them, it recieves texts and emails OK... and everything else works fine... I've tried everything I could think of, uninstalling, reinstalling, wiping phone cache etc, tried Hangouts, but nothing seems to work. I'm left thinking that maybe it could be the S3 operating system that is somehow blocking this? ...or maybe the standard messaging app on the Galaxy? if that's the case, is there an alternative ......that works properly! ? or could it be the mobile provider (it's 3).....or is this a UK thing?
And finally....HELP, HELP !!!!

mine works even after latest update... reply whatsapp.. but currently im looking for some kind of keyboard.. any suggestion?

Small (but annoying) issue after first Root/Rom

I just recently rooted and flashed a rom (successfully) to my phone (SPH-L710), but I notices a very annoying issue. I cannot send or receive multimedia messages (MMS). I am technically not on Sprint. I am on Ting which uses the Sprint Network. Before I rooted, I was only able to use MMS messages if I was on wifi. I have turned off data on my phone to save money on my monthly bill. Some people may find that annoying, but I don't and it's a small price to pay. After rooting and flashing my phone to Gummy 4.4.4, the MMS messages won't work, not even on wifi. I still have mobile data turned off and I'm worried that turning it on will be the only solution to this problem.
Anyone have an idea?
Gummy is really the only ROM I've used so far. I'm still a noob to the whole rooting/flashing thing. I'd love to flash to Lollipop, but I'm still waiting on the camera issue to be solved. I need the camera on my phone for work.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You need the MMS settings fixed, easiest is to use a third party text app like goSMS or textra and manually put in your MMS settings

in 5.0 camera works as long as you use third party cameras like Open camera....but you would have to use another third party app for video i forget which one tho since I'm not really taking videos at the moment....and flash different 4.4.2-4.4.4 AOSP roms to see if the problem is still there...
