Stock HTC sms app and Android wear - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So is it just me or with the stock HTC sms app, you can't reply by voice with Moto 360. The only options on my watch are to block the app and open on phone. Seems an odd thing to be missing. I instead use a third party sms app.
I tried tweeting them (HTC) about it and they just said "oh look for an update in the future". Oh, thanks HTC

Hard Reset Question

Right now this has really pee'd me off. I've gone to send a text message to my Dad, but I can't because the "phone memory is full", WTF ! Thank god it weren't important. BTW apparently I'm at 6mb so I don't understand how one small (KB?) message is gunna make a difference.
So I was wondering if a hard reset is worth a try? I'd like to know if it will actually free up any memory. I think I heard of people doing this and it has, is this correct? Also, will it remember all of the apps I've downloaded through the market? Also, any info on HTC backup software would be awesome help, but dw if not I'm sure there are loads of threads about that anyway.
Many thanks in advance!
A hard reset will basically give you the default clean ROM that you have installed.
Does your phone not have to many SMS's saved?

Is there anyway I can find out how many I have?
Well I'm looking at my Froyo messaging settings here and I can see an option saying that it's limiting the messages in a conversation to 200 and 20 mms messages per conversation.
Not sure about the stock SenseUI ROM though.

Yeah mine says that as well but that doesn't show how many, and I'd rather it didn't just delete any message
Mine shows a number next to the conversation stating how many messages there are.

You should be able to see the number of messages per conversation, that has been a standard thing for Sense as far as I can remember. If you really want to keep a hold of your text message try an sms back up program. I use one that backs everything to Gmail for me so it doesn't really matter if it getsdeleted.

That sounds like an awesome idea, what's the app called?

It's not an app that you're downloading, the message per conversation counter is a default feature on Sense. Next to each contact that you send messages to, you should see a number in brackets next to them. I'm really not sure if you know what we're all talking about or we may not be understanding what you are after but I'd suggest give us a rundown on your software version and whether for not you have a carrier phone and maybe a screen shot of your messaging inbox.

[Q] Contact Pictures

Does anyone have the issue of not seeing the contact pictures in third party apps like whatsapp and Handcent SMS?
The pictures are fine in People App but they don't show in other apps.
Anyone with the same issue or a known fix?
In handcent i just enabled it in settings an it wrks fine
Mod or Die
Yeah i did that but didnt help.

I just noticed that if i choose an image other than the facebook picture, then it will show in applications
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
my missus has the one x and has the same problem. i resolved it by downloading "friendcaster" and that allowed the facebook pictures to show in handcent/go sms
Yeah i know but i wanted to see if im not the only one. I am using syncmypix to do the job but i was wondering what might be causing the issue :/
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
apparently an ICS problem, I get the problem on my GNEX too
Yeah or it could be the apps have compatibility isuues with ics. The pictures show fine in people and dialer.

All you need to do is download the app Photo Unlocker. Your Facebook Sense photos are restricted from being used in other apps, but this app unlocks them so they can be seen in all 3rd party apps.
Edit: I noticed this app isn't in the market anymore. I have a titanium backup of it, so if anyone tells me how to get the APK from there, I can post it here.

Yes that's correct
The solutions i found is by using an app called HaxSync.

Just to confirm recent whatsapp has updated and does.pull through contact pictures inc Facebook
I still didnt get the update. Will keep you posted when I do to confirm!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Neither can i find any of the mentioned software, nor i received an update for whats app... Can you share the app mentioned on the previous page.
THanks.
Yeah i still havent got the whatsapp update. Heres the link for haxsync:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync&hl=en
Its the only app that worked for me cz i didnt wanna set up friend caster.
Talking about whatsapp does anyone else get the message "try again later" when sending a picture to someone?

ANy other fix on this then rather than using a 3rd party utility?
Not that i'm aware of!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yeah I have the same problem.
Whatsapp doesn't show contacts (facebook)profile pictures.
Running all the latest Market versions of Facebook, whatsapp en handheld SMS.
There are no more updates so far.
Still no profile pics in whatsapp contacts list.
Anyone has a solution by now?
And dortok, can u upload that app Photo Unlocker please?
Is it possible to do something with Facebook for HTC Sense app, like delete or whatever?? Maybe fixes it?
It says Facebook for HTC Sense version 4.0.2215172619.345324.334711
Or clicking info: Version 1.00.0101.62864
Anyone help us out???
The only solution i have found is to use HaxSync from google play! It works like a charm!
I dont like friend caster since it is an app like facebook so more traffic and more data usage. Haxsync just syncs the pics and you can specify how often.

Annoying sms popup messages

Hi,
Ever since I started using one x I have been receiving popup like sms messages. My previous phone was not a smart phone and I was not.receiving these. Please refer this image http://db.tt/l3PuMAd3
Is there a way I can disable them from phone itself?

Are you using the stock HTC messaging app? If not, that could be the source. Also, have you installed any apps that have ads? That could also cause your popups.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I am using stock messaging app. I have a bunch of apps installed, but how can I know which one is the culprit.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
It's not something to do with your carrier is it? For example, with Vodafone you can get stuff text daily from them. In the app draw there's a Vodafone one that I can select news, weather, jokes, horoscopes etc.
Thats an alert message. I stumbled across how to make that happen on any phone a while ago.
When you send a text message put !! As the first two characters. It then by passes all app settings and pops up.
Never posted as it would be abused.......

Messaging Popup?

Since Sense 6's native messaging app doesn't have a built in popup notification (like CM, Handcent, Textra, ect), I'm looking for an alternative. Any suggestions? Every third party app I've tried is really outdated, and doesn't mark text as read because Kitkat 4.4 only allows the default messaging app to do that.

I used to cry out for people like HTC and Apple to include popup reply windows for SMS a few years back. Don't really care any more, though this might be because I use Whatsapp more than SMS. That includes a popup quick reply windows though and I never use it. The last one I did use was Chomp but that looks a bit dated now too. Suspect that development of SMS apps is slowing for whatever reason.

I did not see you mention GoSMS. Two popup options: the actual popup box, or a contact icon. Once you click-on the icon, the popup box shows up.

Don't have the M8 yet but I currently use 8SMS on my S3 which does the trick, although i am on CM so I am not sure if it will do the same with Sense. I am hoping it will as I want this feature as well.
8SMS is great in general. Hope it works.
SMS popup app doesn't work? It works perfect for me on 4.4.2 using hangouts.

I use this on my Nexus 5 and I concur, works great. No lag either like GO or Chomp.
You could try evolveSMS.
I use it for 2 months snd really love it

Try GlowFly I've used it for a while now, never failed me.
It has a few plugins for things like missed calls.
(Can't say it will work on the HTC One (M8), but since I'm looking to get that phone I sure hope it does)

facebook removed the option. so htc isn't able to get it on their phones and therefore there is no way to sync it. maybe there is another way, but i don't know any other
