SMS issues - EVO 4G General

What's up guys
I've been having issues with my stock message app. Instead of working properly it sends & receives messages in the wrong order. Its really bugging me cuz I have to look for a new message between a bunch of old ones. I've cleared: data, cache and force stop the message app but nada. Please help! !!
Thanks!!!

Is your Timezone and Clock set to the correct time, I had mine set to Indianapolis and I live in san Diego, so my text messages where random too.. so when i changed my timezone back to normal it cleared everything back to normal..

I have the same issue also and my clock and timezone are set fine. I think this issue was posted here a few times and it turns out I that its an issue with the stock messaging app. If you switch to handcent sms the problem should go away.

You could also try using a message/SMS app instead of the stock one.
I've tried both ChompSMS and Handscent and both are extremely customizable, fast and IMO offer better features then the stock application.

It seems to happen to me when three phone goes to roaming, if that helps at all.

All text messages deleted randomly.

Hey guys, I wanted to see if any fellow vibrant uses have been getting this.
This is the second time this has happened to me. Just out of no where I will launch my sms application (handcent) and the all of my texts are gone, like magic....
I have done alot of looking and found out that this is an old problem that is general for any android user. Wanted to see if anyone know the solution to what is causing this.

This just happened to me recently. I also use handcent. I dont know if this is the case for you, but I am a packrat, so I had a lot of messages.
I think the limit of SMS messages that can be stored on the phone is 5,000. The only thing that didnt make any sense is that not ALL of my messages were gone, I had 8 left from a recent conversation. I cant explain why they werent deleted...
We can start narrowing things down though. If you dont think you reached the phones limit, then maybe it is a Handcent bug, or a bug with TouchWiz.
it use to happen to me before when i had i believe was the mytouch slide at that time but i cant recall. and yes it happened when i had over 3000+ for my GF and like around 200 for other people! Now i usually just get to 600 or less and delete it and start over. I use the stock sms app btw and have no problems at all.
It happened to me too, not the first or second time it have always happened from the start. I don't use handcent, everything is untouched with no root.

Hmmm...a few people claim that this stopped after they uninstalled the antivirus app. However, I never used this app so it can't mean that. On top of that, many claim that this was due to 3rd party app. That wouldn't make any sence because if uninstalling different apps will fix it.
A few also mentioned that installing the sms back up also stopped the problem. It was also mentioned that handcent has an update coming that said they would fix it but that was almost a year ago. I couldn't find anything on the handcent website that fixed the issue. A lot of android users have the same issue as us on their forum. There are at least 10+ posts on this topic, non with a solution....

Have you removed the settings to delete old messages when limits are reached?
or have u edited those settings in the messaging app?
That's the first thing I checked
it's unchecked, no limits and no deleting if old text messages. Here's the thing, even if that was enabled, it would only delete after reaching the limit and keep it at that. What happened was that all the text messages just disappeared...

This used to happen to me on the G1 on occasion. I got around the issue by using the CyanogenMod Messaging application and setting the auto-delete limit to 200 messages per person, and using the free SMS Backup application to export all SMS messages to a label Gmail as they're received. I'm still using the same solution on the Vibrant, and I've had no problems since.
I didn't think that cyanogenmod is available for the samsung vibrant yet...or am i missing something?

The CyanogenMod 5 (Android 2.1) Messaging app can be installed over the Vibrant's Messaging app just fine. Download a CM5.0.8 ROM for the Nexus One and install the Messaging.APK found in \system\data. :]
I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.

Huge sms problem.

I have noticed this for problem since having stock droid. I've used apex jrummey and tranquility n stock. It seems my texts get hung in limbo. Both receiving and outgoing. It doesn't happen all the time but enough for me to do my recovery method everytime I send a text.
It just seems to sit in queue ready to be sent.
What I have to do is make a call, any call, vm, friend etc... then msgs are sent through and received. Seems to be happening more and more.
Anyone else have this problem and how they get a permanent fix.
Thanks in advance

Nobody? Hasn't done it in about a week but still annoying when it does happen.
Thanks

Did you remove the stock messaging app?
In the messaging app's settings, do you have auto retrieve turned on?
Or if you are restoring apps, might try going into settings/applications/ choose all & in messaging.apk clear data & cache (will erase txts) & even do the same for gmail (will not erase emails unless they are in pending/draft possibly, others will just reload when you open again).
Or sbf & then back to your rom of choice. Might be a bit of a pain, but could be worth it.
I think if it happened with the stock rom its either the phone or the service from Verizon? Try taking your phone in and see what they say

I use to have the problem in my area. I discovered it was poor service, and when I called out like to voicemail it would send and receive.
I just did the *228 and made sure the radios were up to date and haven't had the problem since.

Hey Robert,
Thanks for advice and to everyone else. Ill chalk that one up to old age on forgetting the *228. Did it and so far no problems. But time will tell. Thanks again

Dual SMS Notifications

I am having a right mare! I use Handcent, however I keep getting dual notifications. One from Handcent and one from the stock SMS App. I have turned off Notifications from within the stock App and still they come through.
I have even gone so far as removing the MMS/SMS App with root explorer and still they persist. It is frankly driving me mental. I want to keep ONLY the Handcent one.
Can anyone suggest anywhere to look? I am rooted with Pauls R10 Modaco ROM!
You forgot to disable notifications from the stock app settings which I believe are connected to but not accessible from the stock settings.

Same issue I had. I went into the stock messaging app, under menu, settings, notifications, unchecked the box. That worked for me.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
As per the original title I have gone into the Stock App and settings menu from there and disabled them and they still pop up.
You actually did not mention that and frankly I'm inclined to believe that it is still the issue as there would be no other reason I can think of why they would be coming up.

On second thoughts I wonder if this is coming from Elsewhere
If I enable notifications in the stock App I get The smiley face symbol with sender name and message, Handcent notification AND a 3rd one which seems to be the problem one. This simply sats You have New Message(s) You have an unread message. Also when the SMS is read this does not go away either
So where the hell is that one coming from LOL?

I wasnt trying to be picky there! Please dont get me wrong! I meant first post which I did state about trying what you suggested from my first post a quote: I have turned off Notifications from within the stock App and still they come through.

You mean when you enable notifications you get a 3rd popup that is the smiley face in a chat bubble? What happens when you open the unknown notification? What app opens? And if its the stock messaging app, try clearing its defaults.
That is correct about the smiley face chat bubble. When the notification pops up it will open up Handcent. I have tried clearing the defaults as well with no joy.
i had this problem when i was using Handcent
so i removed it
now i'm using GO SMS, same as handcent but better, and it does not have the problem that handcent was having
i only get 1 sms/mms alert instead of 2 when handcent is installed

OK I will give that one a bash then see if it solves it.
No joy, GoSMS just crashes on me. I still get the message even after uninstalling Handcent as well with the stock App

Using Modaco r10. Might try another or a fresh install.

Messaging annoyance

Ok, I tried looking online and even deleting the stock messaging app.
My problem is that everytime I receive a text message I receive the little envelope notification in the task bar. Even when I check my texts through this notification, it stays there until I actually press clear on all the notifications. This might be stupid to some, but it absolutely annoys me.
Someone please help.

I was just using stock and yes I unchecked everything in those settings, and unfortunately I kept receiving them.
Now I've deleted the stock messaging app, and now using the handcent third party app, but I'm still receiving the stock notification and a handcent one.... Is this a bug?

You problem is deleting the stock messaging app. It still delivers the text through OS, even though the actual app is no longer present. You should have kept it and told it to ignore.
You have to go into your stock messaging app, tap menu, then go to settings. Once in there you need to find "auto-retrieve" and unchecked the box. Then find "notifications" and unchecked that box as well

Becasue all yea raeally need to do with stock is clear the show notifications box.
I finally gave up on third party mms apps and just run stock now. It's fine. I don't need balloons.

[Help] Repeated Duplicate Messages

I am constantly getting duplicate messages thrice for each message I receive. I am using Go SMS App and surely it's not network problem because I had this problem with different network also and by goggling it, it's looks like I am not the only one. Very annoying to receive one message three or even four times. I have disable message notification in stock message app though it's not duplicate notification issue but SMS itself. When I say every, I do mean 'every' SMS.
had this rpob :/ i think i reflashed to fix it
u knw wat , i had d exact same issue when i started to use go sms pro first.. but not now.. how it stopped, dunno.. :/
-tapatalked by RnB
Had this problem too. Was annoying as my friends were also getting multiple messages from me. Also with GoSMS Pro. I noticed it really didn't play nice when I was also using Smartdog Studio's Remote Web Desktop.
Think the problem went away when I reflashed.
I did re flashed many times but problem never went away

What i noticed is when you are in a particular thread and that very same person messages you that very moment when you are in his name thread, you tend to received that message twice...
It happens everytime, not only when I open Go Sms app. Interval between duplicated messages is usually b/w 2-5 minutes.
