Broken links on Vibrant

I've had this problem with my Vibrant since day 1. Any links that come through via email are broken at characters like "&" or similar. Since I can't select text within the email, I literally cannot follow emailed links.
Anyway to correct this?

I'm assuming this is with the Vibrant default email client? I use K9 and it has no issues with dashes '-' or ampersands '&'. I can click the links forwarded by Facebook with no issue. It's a little more work to setup but IMHO a better experience.

I have had this problem since day one. Hate to tell you it's still there in Froyo. Well, at least the leaked versions.
I am surprised this has not been addressed or commented on more.
I would love a fix for this! Why should an = character break a web link? This shpuld be a no brainer. Do I really want to ad another email program to make links work?
Now I'm really reaching; but wouldn't it be nice if Facebook links from email open my Facebook app not the crummy web touch site? Like the do on that POS iPhone?

Is it something that a dev could patch?
Is the email app developed by Samsung? I like it a lot more than the one on my G1 besides this problem.

Did you send a large amount of messages?

This happens when you send too many text within a short amount of time. Just restart the phone and you can continue sending your messages again without interference. If it starts popping up again you can just restart again.

This is what happens when you booty-text half the girls in your address book.

Eh, the limit was actually reduced to 30 messages every 30 minutes in Jellybean from 100 / 30 in ICS. Kind of low IMO, especially when using desktop SMS services - very easy to send multiple messages.
Also, just a poor implementation of the feature overall - should have options to dismiss the warning forever, per app, or at least for an X hour period.

This wasn't an opinion question. I just want to know if there's a mod for this

Everything on the internet is an opinion question. Try this:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32263-fix-jelly-bean-sms-warning-dialog/

CM10 allows this setting to be changed but stock Android has it locked at 30 texts per 30 minutes, which is absurdly low for someone who texts frequently or has a girlfriend who doesn't ever stop texting you :laugh:
I'd like to see the ability to edit this setting in a future stock release but in the mean time if it is really bothering you, check out a custom rom that features the ability to manually adjust this setting.

Unusually high battery usage with Textplus

Hi,
I've recently been having an issue with Textplus consuming a lot of battery power on my Nexus 4 (pics attached at the end). I was on stock rooted 4.4.2 while having the issue, then installed CM11 on hells-core, hoping a reformat and reinstall during the process would fix the issue.
Is this normal for Textplus on 4.4.2? I'm definitely not using it more than other apps, but I do use it for both regular and free texts. It stays in the background, and I send texts a few times a day.
I'm also unable to mark regular texts in Textplus as read, and in my phone's settings the app can't be marked as the default SMS app. To mark texts as read I need to run hangouts.
I would like to continue using this app, but as it stands it doesn't seem worth it. Does anyone here have a similar issue with the app?

Looks like you need to get another similar app. Try sending an email to the developer and/or check their website to see if they have a support page.

Get app ops starter from the play store. In it turn off location for text plus

Thank you, I just sent them an email with the issue. Also @jd1639, I was thinking it had to do with location requests, I'll download that and let you know.

S8 Text Messaging on At&t

Beating my brain. I have noticed when I receive a lengthy text message it does not show the entire message. It gives me the option to "view all". I have searched the forums and the phone and can't seem to find an option to show the entire text. Is this just and At&t thing or Samsung?

Just an at&t thing need to download a different sms app

I'm with Rogers and I have the same issue.
I'm going to avoid the Samsung apps...seems like the best thing from the issues I'm having...

Thank you all for the quick replies ☺

Hangouts app

But if the other person isn't using Hangouts then it still is horrible

Facebook app does it as well. Most people have it because Facebook forces it via mobile IF you want to message people..

Yaata
Textra
Pulse
Are all amazing texting apps!
Yaata is the most customizable...And my favorite - also has chat-heads, but Android O won't support chat-heads, as of now - But we still have about a year on that.
Textra is the easiest and looks GREAT, and it's been around for a long time (at least since my S3 days, probably longer). Maybe a little smoother than Yaata, but not as many options.
Pulse is new (ish), but seems to have great features.

Facebook messenger is my go to default for sms. Mostly because of the chat heads and integration with all my FB messages

If you use Google photo you can create a link to your video in Google photo then share the link on stock messaging app with a few simple key strokes . Simple for me since I don't need all the bells and whistles from other message apps, nor do I care to familiarize myself with a new message app.

MMS Not Working In Anything Except Samsung Messages

Hi,
I saw many topics about this, but still haven't been able to fix it on my phone. The only app that seems to work with MMS (sending or receiving) that I've tried is Samsung Messages. I've tried Textra and Android Messages (google), neither work. I've been on and off trying to get them to work since I got the phone in April, to no avail or luck. I can't even get the MMS to work when I disable WiFi, so I'm not sure what is going on. My carrier is Verizon. I've also tried setting the MMS mode to Legacy (from the default of System), but that didn't help.
Has anyone had any luck getting this to work? One thing I haven't tried is uninstalling Samsung Messages (or disabling it via BK Disabler) as I'd prefer to not lose all my chat history. I'm not looking for other texting apps, would like to use Google's or Textra over Samsung's.
Thanks in advance!

Check out screen shot. A couple of bucks for premium features. This is my SMS app for my S8+ and Pixel XL.

Just tried, also not working for MMS. Texting works. Not receiving or sending MMS, whether on Legacy or System for the MMS APN type.
Something is definitely blocking other apps from working.

Sorry, it's work perfect at my S8+. Don't now who to help you.

Tried resetting network settings, cleared system cache, disabling Samsung Messages (+ service worker), rebooting, still doesn't work. :/ I'm starting to think it's an issue specific to being on Verizon's network. Could it be something on their end that I need to call in about?
