hey guys searched but did not find the answer....
I just got the Tmobile g2 and im new to android OS, had a TP2 before. How can I set the MMS message of a contact to stay on longer? When I view a picture message it just stays on for a couple seconds then goes right back to the text message. Is there any setting that I can make this longer?
Also is there a setting somewhere that can make it so that when I click the contact's picture, it will dial that contact automatically? I had this feature in my TP2 and would love to set it up like that.
Thanks in advance all
I would recommend downloading chompsms. I just did this for the first time last week and it blows away the standard android sms app.

SMS notification bug
Hello, I wonder if some one here have same problem: Some times my HTC Desire Z with latest ROM doesn't want to notify me that sms is received, and I should randomly go in to Messages folder and find out there that there are some unread messages. It is not a Settings problem, because it is happening randomly. Let's assume every 10 or 15 message will be missed. Also, If i see that there are unread messages, i can read them from Messages folder, not from notification bar. And if I do so, notification in notification bar will not disappear, until i clear it manually... really strange. Thanks for solutions.

The length of each slide is decided when composing the MMS. If the sender sets it to 7 seconds (5 is default) then it will only be on for 7s. Save the attachment and you can view it for longer.

Factory restore after update helped to solve this problem
Desire Z
I have the same issue and it wasnt this way on the vibrant or the original MyTouch 3G. When someone sends an MMS, say a picture message, it shows up as a short 10 second video. I have tried saving as an attachment but didnt seem to allow me to do that.

Ok so this notification just started on my Eris! when I get a message(only text not emails) this grey envelope with a arrow on it comes up in my notifications even after I’ve read and replied to the message its still there until I click it and i take me to the message that ive already replied to. I’ve turned of all settings has far as auto retrieve and text notification but it still comes up! I deleted a bunch of apps thinking maybe one of them was causing this. I called htc they had no answers but to do a hard reset and lose everything not something I want to do! So if ya know something that would help please let me know thanks!
I found a fix
Aspotcat can be downloaded from the market it will show you what is running with ur text. found out some weird app was on there but no where to be found in my phone deleted it and problem solved!
Okay..seems like you have two text message applications....
IF thats the case, then try the following:
Your stock application can be reached from the app drawer...go there and then open the stock sms application...then go to settings and remove the check next to "notification"....
Now you should only have a notification every time you receive a text from the secondary application you're using..(i.e., handcent, byte sms, etc)
Now if you did that and your message is still showing..delete all of the messages in the stock application...this should clear it...or then simply open every single text up..(im sure you're running threaded messaging so it'll be a little eaiser)
If that still doesnt work...repeat the following using your secondary messaging application (handcent..blah blah)
Now if you did that and your message is still showing..delete all of the messages in the stock application...this should clear it...or then simply open every single text up..(im sure you're running threaded messaging so it'll be a little eaiser)
If you're still having problems...and are on a rooted rom....reflash a custom rom and you'll be fine!!
This has happened to me twice already in 1 month.
1. SMS sent by my wife showed up in thread of another person in the messaging client. However, when I click the SMS bubble to go into the SMS, it shows on the top bar that it's sent by my wife.
2. I received an SMS from Mr X, so went into the conversation thread of Mr X to reply him. The SMS however, was sent to Mr Y! When I checked, the SMS sent was reflected in the thread of Mr X, but when I click on the SMS bubble to go in, it shows that it's sent to Mr Y. What is worse is when I exit the thread, it shows that it is Mr X's conversation thread, but when I go in, it becomes Mr Y's, with all conversations between X and Y in that thread! BTW, X and Y have 2 very different mobile nos.
Now I am very scared to send SMS, not knowing if it will get sent to somebody else! Anyone encountered this? Any remedy?
i had something weird like this and put it down to me being silly clicking the wrong thing.
I also notice that when i send a sms to "hannah" sometimes the name "helen" is shown at the notification bar which of course ****s me up considering some of the conversations i have!
can't quite put my finger on whats going on to give a full explanation but i noticed something odd too...
Sounds scary.
Do you guys get any feedback from the phone that the message was sent successfully? I don't, and find that troubling.
in the conversation window as soon as i click send the sms content turns into a "sending...." then once sent displays the sms content again. on a unsuccessful sms the phone notifies you and the sms colour turns grey.
maybe try dropping your signal somehow, flight mode or something and try sending a sms and see if it notifies you on a unsuccessful sms.

Would be nice if there is an audio feedback, but your suggestion is good.

you could play around with the delivery reports in the SMS options menu, i believe they are carrier related though?
my phone does vibrate when i recieve a failed sent sms message though, maybe this could be customised with a notification ringtone. i currently have it on silent since i get like 30 twitters an hour.
On my phone, if a message is sent successfully, the date and timestamp will appear on the lower right of the sms bubble. If it's not successful, the bubble is grey and both the sms notification ringtone will play and notification appear in the notification bar

That's what I thought too when I had that option on, but it does not notify me.
Upgrade to JG3, it was a problem in JG1.
Strange, I don't hear the ringtone or the notification.

it's just a software glitch, i've had this problem with some 3rd party SMS software in my windows phone, so reverted to the stock SMS software, however in SGS it seems ok so far.
there is a 3rd party SMS apps for SGS "ChompSMS" check it out, it might solve the problem the few of you are experiencing
No problems here, 250~ SMS already sent this month.
Argh! It happened again this morning. Using handcent now. a pity as I find the stock messaging app to be quite good

Hi Guys,
I have had an ongoing problem with my phone for some time, persisting throughout different ROM flashes and full wipes.
I use Handcent SMS, and have notifications turned on, it's a blue icon.
I receive this notification, and another mysterious one from i don't know where.
The other one is white and displayed in the photo below.
One would assume it's the default SMS app that's displaying it, but...
I have most definitely turned off notifications in the default SMS application, and have no other SMS apps installed, just the default "Messaging" and Handcent.
Also, when i read the message, it doesn't clear until i manually "Clear all notifications". IIRC, i even removed the default SMS app and still got those messages, but i can't be certain of that as it was awhile ago.
Has anyone else experienced this, and know of a way i can fix?
Any help would be most appreciated.
The notifications appear as such...
"You have an unread message"
"You have 0 unread messages"

A bit hard to to be sure without a screen shot - try uploading it to imageshack and posting a link (you'll to need to change the link a bit such that XDA doesn't recognize it as a link).
Most likely it is the default messaging app, Please recheck that notifications are disabled there. If they are, you can also try to enable them, and see if you now get 3 notifications on each SMS....
Hi, Thanks for the reply =)
Interesting, I enabled notifications in the default sms app and now i get 3 notifications!
So i can only assume it's something else!
I have two screenshots...

This is a photo with the 3 notifications (if i enable notification in the default sms app)

Ok, so it aint the default messaging app. What happens when you press on the notification? Maybe it opens this app?
I guess this might be a little extreme, but you can always do a full wipe, and then do a clean install - verify you get only one notification with a clean install (no apps). Then start installing your apps and try to find out which is the offending app. If you do want to do this, I suggest you wait a few days, I should release a bugfix version 1.1.9 shortly.
BTW, there are easier/better ways to take screen shots, like "ShootMe" on the market, or the ddms utility which comes with the andoird SDK if you have adb working.

Great, thanks very much for the advice. I'll wait for the new Floyo release and try a process of elimination.
Also, loving your Floyo ROM.. it's improved my Hero immensly \o/
Much appreciated, keep up the good work =)
I've recently installed Android on my HD2 and I absolutely love it. The one thing that isn't working 100% is the SMS inbox. Some messages appear 3-4 times and some are nowhere to be seen. Those are SMS I sent and received after installing so it's not a dodgy import. I'm using TyphooN CyanogenMod 7.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Are you talking about SMS or message in box of your xda account or your google mail inbox account? You don't call a text message as message inbox. Anything with message inbox that's an email. SMS is to use texting to send to another phone. MMS is to use picture or a short video clip to send to another phone.
My bad. In my own little world messages are SMS. Yesterday's SMS all seem to have been stored correctly. Maybe it was a one off. If anybody has any suggestions it would be much appreciated.

I can recommend using GO SMS Pro as opposed to the stock one,much better.
I've played around some more and installed Go SMS Pro, which is pretty cool. The problem with wrong SMS display persists though.
I think it's when I send SMS via the voice command of the google bar, they don't get stored correctly when I look at them in the history. For example I just sent a message via voice command but the content of the messages in Go SMS is wrong. It shows up with the same message text as the previous SMS I sent, or not at all. I haven't found anything on the problem anywhere. Does anybody have any Suggestions?
Hey I was wondering if anyone knew of an app similar to SMS pop up (or Go SMS pop up notifications) that worked with stock SMS app. I want to keep stock so the lockscreen notification (that only appear for missed texts) still work, but with SMS Popup on the "close and mark as read" does not work and it also makes it so if I open a text thread it isn't marked as read - I have to click the exact message within the thread for it to be marked unread. Anyone else having this problem or know of a solution?
Thanks!
you'll probably just need to wait for the app to be updated. With the S3 being such a big phone I'm sure it'll be updated to work with it soon.
