Handcent Image missing on DC2.08

hi guys..
I have updated to DC 2.08 and almost everything is perfect.
my problem is with Handcent. It will not show the images of my friends. I have tried uninstall Handcent.. reload.. rebooting. I have deleted ALL text messages, but new messages do not show images.
I tested with the stock sms app, and it shows the images!!!!!
Anybody have a fix for this???
Also... I heard that this new ROM will remove the annoying .. double menu - pop up- on thing. ie. when you press menu twice to wake up the phone... the menu pops up. But it is still there!!!
Love the ROM, fast and stable. these are my only issues.. so I am hopping someone can point me to the fix.
Thanks all!

I have the same issue. Sometimes it happens randomly. I don't think it has to do with the ROM in particular. It happens nearly every time I swap or upgrade ROMS or restore all my apps via Titanium after a wipe. :/
Would like to know the answer to this.

do you use friendstream? and if so, do you have any issues with it at all?

No, I do not use friendstream. Checked it, and there is nothing in it. It says I do not appear to be logged into any sociual networks, which is correct... I currently do not subscribe to any.
yes, I do have Auto-Retrieve enabled on the stock sms app.

Bump for help

yeah.. been using Handcent since i got the phone back in Dec. and have used it with all sorts of ROMs and all of DC's ROMs too. DC2.08 is the only ROM that has caused this to happen.
Maybe it is time to try a different SMS app.???

Looks like I can not find a solution to correct handcent
Downloaded compsms
It is working just fine
Now I can see contact images

I had a problem on DC 2.05 I think it was where handcent wouldnt work but I think it had more to do with the update that handcent sent out I would have suggested uninstalling and reinstalling

make sure to always do the basic troubleshooting before reporting an issue. uninstalling and reinstalling is probably a good place to start. also consider a fresh wipe and reinstall of the ROM.
happy flashing!

yes.. you are 100% right!!
please reread my original post. Did the reinstallation of handcent x2. did not help.
I did not reinstall the ROM. That was a last resort for me, because I have everything setup as I want it.
It is odd that both stock app and compsms works fine, and shows the contact images. So, I am leaning towards Handcent latest update was the issue. it must be conflicting with something on my phone... maybe DC 2.08.
Anyways, CompSMS is working fine. I like Handcent better, but this OK. The new big comp widget is odd to me, not sure if I like it.

[Q] Eclair MMS app on Froyo?

Hello everyone!
Just recently I got the 2.2 OTA for my Droid (rooted) and I'm absolutely loving it, except for one thing: the new MMS app. I strongly dislike the new look; I don't want to see my own profile icon and I definitely don't want to see several of each icon. I really liked the way the Eclair MMS app looked, and I really liked seeing my friends' facebook statuses next to their contact icon.
I've tried replacing the Froyo Mms.apk with the Eclair Mms.apk, which could display everything and worked perfectly fine except for when I actually went to send a message. It would force close and never show that the message actually sent, even though I got replies back, so I know they sent. Also, in order to get this to work, I had to remove Mms.odex. Once I saw that the Eclair app displayed everything and seemed to work fine, I (foolishly) erased my backup of Mms.odex and now I can't run the standard Froyo Mms.apk. Luckily, I did find a modified app that I can use in the meantime, so I'm not totally out of luck right now.
Is there any way to get the old Eclair MMS app/look back? I would REALLY love it! And please don't just suggest Handcent or Chomp. I've tried them and I just don't like them. I went through all the styling and customization options and I just couldn't get it to look like I want. All I want is the old Eclair app back, not alternatives (unless they look almost identical to Eclair's). If it's impossible, I guess I'll deal with it, but "impossible" and "Android" don't really go together...
Thanks in advance!
edit:
I attached two screenshots taken out of an emulator, just in case anyone isn't familiar (why you'd need to see them, I dunno, but I figure more info is better).

Bump. This is a good question. I hadn't really even though about how much better the 2.1 vs 2.2 SMS/MMS app. I knew there was something different but thank you for laying it out. I'm having a problem where the app isn't posting my icon. It is synced with my Facebook contacts so I don't see why it doesn't show my avatar, and if it isn't supposed to then why even change it? No sir, I don't like it. If there is any way to downgrade to the earlier messaging app I would very much be interested in knowing.

Shameless bump. Still driving me crazy. Hoping there's an alternative by now?

I did with some system apps but those weren't included, TiBu shows I have the 2.3.4 versions of both Battery/data manger and Fingerprint sensor.

does gps work for anyone else?

GPS works perfect, even faster lock-on with 2.3.4 versus 2.2.2.

Anyone try searching a contact and selecting one to make a call? I get a force close

Sending too many SMS texts

My brother on his Nexus 4 16GB LTE (as were from Canada and LTE works on the Nexus 4 here) keeps getting this sending SMS error. It reads as follows
Messaging is sending a large number of SMS messages. Do you want to allow this app to continue sending messages?
Deny or Allow
He has to keep clicking allow all the time as its the stock google messaging app he is using.
Now my question is has anyone else experienced this on the nexus 4. He said its really pissing him off. I checked if he had a bad app installed and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
So does any one know how to fix this issue. We went into settings and increased and removed the messaging limit and the problem keeps on popping up still.
Check the picture for how it looks.
Now some of you might experience this issue when you send massive amounts of text messages!
Any help would be nice! Thanks in advance!

There is a setting under security or something like that that limits the number of texts that can be sent in a set period of time. Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to remove this on the Stock ROM. The feature is not built into over AOSP ROMs (like CM) so if this is his first Nexus device (and plain AOSP) he may not be used to this problem.
I'm not sure if the setting is built into the framework or just the MMS.apk, if it's the later you could probably swap in the MMS.apk from CM

Wow you serious what douche bags would not at least give you the option to allow legit messages. I understand bad apps taking advantage of that but for the stock messaging app it should be a one time disable option.
So to install the CM mms apk will I need root access. We don't want to root out phones at this time.

Rooting your phone takes 30 seconds and its risk free. Why wouldn't you want to? It can easily be disabled at any time.. Btw I'm from Canada too on lte but I guess I don't text enough to suffer that issue

You'll need the ROM, not just the APK. The CM10 settings for this "feature" are in the ROM settings, not the APK.
That said, if you were rooted, there's probably a mod that can be done rather than flashing a custom ROM.

You need to send a ****load of messages in a short time to even trigger this, and it goes away after a minute or two. If you want to get rid of it, root the phone. If you don't want to root the phone, try another SMS app or you're SoL.

[Q] Quick Reply and Pop up SMS on TouchWiz?

Is there a way to get Quick Reply and pop up SMS on Touchwiz?

Not with the stock messager, try out go sms or Handcent from the play store if you'd like that feature

Yes, try the SMS Popup app, works great with the stock TW messaging app. Highly recommended.

Sorry to bump this thread, but I just came here from a search. I'm trying to get quick reply in the notification (as well as other options that are in vanilla / CM android such as mark read, delete, etc.) I also want it to display the text in the notification bar WITHOUT also putting it in the lockscreen... any suggestions? I can't believe the stock app is this bad!
Thanks!

Its themed though, but it does what CM version does.

thanks!!! just out of curiosity, do you mean TW themed? I'd switch back to CM, but there's still an audio call bug plus the camera app is far more limited etc.
And second question... is the messaging app on vanilla android as limited as the TW one? i.e., are the extra functions added by CM only?

1. Its not the TW messaging app, its a themed version of the CM one that works on stock based roms, it replaces the stock TW messaging app, and also deletes all your texts when you flash it, so make sure to backup all your texts. Also read the OP to know which version to download.
2. Yea. It doesn't have quick reply or anything.

OK thanks a ton!

I use go SMS pro. I tried using the SMS pop up and didn't like it too much because when I was replying to a long text I wasn't able to see what the person wrote to see what else to respond to. I came from an iPhone which I could bring down the message I was typing down some or cutting and pasting it back quick. This s4 is my second android phone I've ever had since the first mytouch on T-Mobile and android has come a long way since which I love my s4 a lot but there's still stuff I miss about the iPhone.

thanks I don't want a pop up per se, just the text of the SMS in the notification drawer and the reply / read / delete options underneath as in CM 10.1. Sliding Messaging seems to be working for that, but that means I have to use a totally different app...
