[Q] Handcent sms??? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

did anyone else encountered my problem with handcent sms??
i am in love with this app, but...somehow im unable to send mms to iphone users...its really strange.
had to uninstall it. now im using go sms which is fine but...its not as great as handcent.
since we're all using mt4g's...does this happen on your device too??
plus i was rooted/stock...now im back to unrooted/stock...since i had thought rooting was the issue..urghh, such a waste of time. im a bit reluctant to install handcent again onto my now unrooted device if in case the same issue occurs again...it will be once more, a waste of time.

I haven't ran into that issue, my niece and her husband have the iPhone 3GS and I'm able to send and receive SMS and MMS with them and they are on TMO, wife's best friend has iPhone 4 on AT&T and we are both able to send and receive SMS and MMS with her.

Blackberry Users Have Trouble with My SMS

Just wondering if anyone else has been told by a friend that your text messages make their Blackberry act up.
I had a friend with a Blackberry Storm tell me that sometimes he can't open my texts a while back. I didn't think anything of it until today when my two friends that have Blackberry Curves told me the same thing happens to them, and it's only my text messages they have trouble with....
My gf has a curve 8520 but she gets all of my txt's just fine.. what exactly are your friends having trouble with, sms, mms?
All three just said they have trouble opening some of my SMS. They have trouble opening the messages.
All of them say they just use the search function to find my most recent message and open it that way, but it won't open directly through the messaging application.
my gf had a bolt 9700 and my sister a curve 8900, both don't have probs with my text messages, no probs with MMS either
Tell your friends to get a real phone, problem solved. jk, kinda. What messaging app are you using to send the messages, stock, handcent, chomp? Have you tried mixing it up to see if any have a different result?

Rooted Phone - Now i get 2 messages at a time

Anyone else having issues
When i get a message if it from a mobile phone then i only get it once..
But if it from t-mobile telling me my weekly allowence, or from my work that send systems problem auto via SMS i get them twice...
well wierd. only happened since i rooted it...
are you using other than stock sms messenger.. like Handcent?
If so.. you need to go into the stock messenger
and turn of notification!
and I think off the auto retrieve messages too.
yer i use handcent
but what i am trying to say -
If i have just handcent running - i get 2 message the same
if i have both handcent and stock running, i get 4 messages the same....
if i just have stock then i get 2 messages.....
I just seem to get 2 messages at the same time...

Yup that is what is happening to me too.....
I am on t-mobile too. maybe it is them that is the problem..
i even decided to install offical rom which has now locked my phone so i think it is about time to move on to a different phone..
Same here but I am in Greece/Vodafone. All SMS received correctly, except alerts from bank accounts (from 3 different banks, so no specific bank's problem), which I receive twice. Pretty annoying. I use Modaco's ROM, waiting for Android 2.1...
Same here in Italy: I get twice the SMSs from Google Calendar notification service only.
+1. In Norway. And I am on VillainROM, so it doesn't have anything to do with ROMs either, obviously...
hi, Thailand got this problem too
i've got double sms from the operator and other system messages
even got this problem before my HERO was rooted :[
I:'m having the same problem and I think that it's a problem on the Handcent side. It only occurs when I get a text from someone using the email gateway for sms ([email protected]). It started for me after installing the latest update to Handcent. I'm also now getting Handcent notifications when I get a voicemail using Sprint VVM, this to started after the last update to Handcent, so I think that they have some work to do. I really love Handcent, but this is getting annoying, I've tried other SMS programs (ChompSMS), but they just don't do it for me. I guess the only to do no is wait to see if the developers fix the problems.

Receiving blank text messages, CM 6.1

Hey guys,
I've had an issue for quite a while with my unlocked Virgin Mobile HTC Legend, which is being used on Rogers, receiving blank text messages from one person (who is using Bell). All of my other texts come through fine - I've had a few issues with texts, but none as bad as this - and one in every... 5 or so from this one person will actually come through.
When using my iPhone 3G, they all come through without issue. The application I use for texts doesn't make a difference (have tried Handcent and the stock texting app).
I've been using my iPhone until I can get this sorted out, but the 3G really isn't working well on iOS 4, so I'd love to move back to my Legend.
Anyone have ideas/suggestions? Are there log files I could check that would help diagnose the problem?
Anyone? Hate to bump a thread, but this is really a showstopper for me :\

very vevry slow messaging in arc

hey guys!
i've an arc phone that i absolutely love...except one major detail that in the last days is driving me nuts.
I have alot of SMS/MMS with one contact in particular and a few hundred with other contacts. the thing is, in the last days the standard app for SMS was getting really really slow .. so unfortunately i had to start using handcent (why unfortunately? easy..i'm in portugal and handcent doesn't support some of our keys like "ç" or "é" "à" etc ... anyway i still started with handcent since the original program was really slow.
the thing is.. now handcent it's also getting slow.. and im running out of options.
i installed sms backup + but i had problems logging in to gmail (i enabled imap etc etc.. and i always get this error that i should allow access to gmail account, which i did) ... so.. what can i do now?
i can say that i have almost 7000sms/mms total on my arc right now... for you guys saying it's alot and i'm crazy .. c'mon on a .xml file it's not even 2mbytes.
I had an htc p3600 with wmobile 6.1 with over 25000sms and was fast everyday.
does anyone knows an official SEricsson support website?email?
how can i get support to this?
i would love to use the original sms app ... but ...its impossible accepting this slowiness
help?
my best regards,
Um... delete your old messages? I can't imagine an SMS program lagging your phone, unless you're getting thousands of messages and storing each and every one of them. Then the phone may have trouble trying to load all of them...
Having 20000 smses? Good luck.
Same for me. Sms app is real slow. I thought it fist was Go Sms and uninstalled it. But the original app is also really slow.
Btw, I dont have so many sms. I believe it was getting slow when I recieved some mms.
Every sms-app gets slow/hangs when you recieve or send message in very short period It's annoying... I am using Go SMS pro now, but have Handcent & Chomp sms also

Problems with GOSMS MMS

Hi guys, new to my Nexus 6P and I've been out of the scene a few years due to Verizon and Samsung... I have my phone rooted and am running Pure Nexus and EX Kernel. Since I didn't have the phone stock for very long, I'm not sure if my issue is with GOSMS, the ROM, Google Fi... But, I cannot send or receive anything MMS. Pictures, group messages, all cannot be downloaded. I've tried a setting or two in gosms that deal with sending MMS and MMS on t-mobile, but I'm getting nowhere. I thought maybe someone on here had a similar issue or ideas. Thanks in advance!

My wife has been having all sorts of MMS issues on her Moto X Pure... Try Textra... I installed it on her phone and everything works perfectly now. GoSMS is a pretty old app...might be some legacy stuff that just doesn't work with marshmallow, even if it is "current".
All Go apps are banned from the site due to security concerns. My best advise would be to remove it from your device and look for better alternatives.
