SMS Issue

My apologies if this has been discussed but I can't figure out how to search from the app...
SMS...I believe its a 2.2 bug since my Epic is doing the same thing on the leaked 2.2 I've got on that. But the sms messages get thrown out of order when I'm in a constant conversation. If the response comes within a minute of my original sent text it will be placed above my initial text. My Epic didn't do it on 2.1 but on 2.2 both my Shift and Epic are doing it
I'm only focused on my Shift though. If anyone else experiencing this and if so is there a fix? Using a third party sms app seems to fix it but I would prefer to stick with the stock sms app. It serves me fairly well.
I'm running stock with no optimizations or enhancements. Just out of the box software.

I started noticing the same thing going on with convos on my EVO shift 4G. But I noticed it only does it if I keep the convo open and don't back out of it back to home screen. If they do come in out of order I noticed it gets corrected after I exit the messaging app and go back in. Hope that gives more insite and let me know if yours does the same thing.
On a side note....anyone leaving convos open and if another text comes in the phone not making a sound?

Mine are out of order regardless. Doesn't matter if I'm in or out of the app and it doesn't correct itself. I probably wouldn't mind as much if it at least did that lol.

I haven't experienced this issue with Handcent. At least I haven't noticed it yet.

My evo did it and my shift does it. Not only are they out of order, the time stamps are all freaking wrong... look at the timestamps and you may notice that the texts you receive are coming from a time in the future.

I've installed SMSFix from the marketplace and it works well for resolving this condition.

are you roaming? In a low-service area? Sending to or receiving from a blackberry?
Those three items caused problems for me on the stock messaging app. I've switched to handcent and haven't had any problems with messages out of order.

It does this on Eclair too. I know cause my epic is on eclair. It receives the message and tells you its from 5 hours later than the time it actually is.
Sent from my non-rooted, stock eclair Epic.

If I leave a conversation open and lock my phone it doesn't make a noise when a new one comes in. This has resulted in me missing texts at the time they were received. Also, if I slide my keyboard open before the conversation is fully loaded, it doesn't automatically place you at the text entry box, and if you start typing it does it in all caps. Sometimes my phone randomly decides to start scrolling up while I'm typing. That's annoying. Also sometimes it doesn't autocorrect until I tap inside the entry field. Ugh.

Good Handcent alternative?

Well kids, i've been running Handcent since day 1. Up until recently it's been great. Exactly what i wanted. But the past few updates have ruined it. It's slower then ever. To the point of being unusable and i've had enough.
What are some alternatives to Handcent? The real reason i got it was because i liked the layout it offered. I never really played with the other features. Any suggestions welcome.

I tried the new Stock and its ok.
Going to try Go SMS.

I've been using GoSMS

agreed, handcent has become crapware, bloated, packed with "online services".
I used to love it, for it's customizability. (hard to believe thats a real word...)
but with the new Messaging 3.0 in the Sense2.1/3 ROMs... its good enough.
I've heard bad things about GoSMS losing msgs. suddenly deleting All msgs...

I have yet to hear anyone say that go SMS has done so. But it seems to be an android problem. I've heard both handcent and chomp SMS delete all messages. Also, if you do a Google search, various android devices have been plagues with deleted messages (the original Droid comes to mind) ,even when using the stock messaging app.
It seems to have been a problem in the messaging framework in earlier android versions. I'd be interested if you could find these reports of deleted messages on phones running Gingerbread.

I think I am going to give Go SMS a try

Just did a search to see if anyone else was noticing how slow it was. Guess I'm not the only one. Gonna try GO as well.

Google voice is so slow

Ok, I'm finally making a thread about something that has been irritating the hell out of me. Every time I receive a text from google voice my tablet just freezes. Especially when I have google voice open or the keyboard up and I'm typing something. The keyboard becomes completely unresponsive for about 10 secs. This is extremely annoying because I have to use this damn app to receive texts from my Google number.
I'm just wondering if anybody has the same issue or a slight idea into making the lag better?

I haven't noticed any lag while using Google voice.

GV works fine for me.
However, the one thing about GV that bothers me is that the text messages don't get threaded like the native messaging app. Its more like how blackberry would thread incoming texts back in the day.

Problem must be situational. I use GV daily, and have not noticed lags.
Just fired it up and sent a test message. Definitely no lag on that one.

How about if you have Google voice open and as you're typing you receive a message right at that moment? It's when I receive messages that it lags bad.

The issue mentioned occurs when there are too many threads in the inbox. I had this issue as well. I could not send texts consistently as they would just queue forever, and sometimes freeze up my phone. After deleting the threads down to like 150 in Google voice, the issue was resolved. Do this on a computer, as it takes a long time.

it could be your internet connection, for me it works well!

[Q] Problems in sending a large number of SMS messages in Jelly Bean

I've trawled through Google and XDA to find potentional fixes on various platforms for Jellybean but I can't seem to remove this on JB. I've tried used GoSMS and alas, no such luck.
I've also got SQLite Editor and inserted sms_outgoing_check_max_count into the secure settings.db and still no success. This is really frustrating me as I do text a lot and I can't seem to find a fix!
Help would be much appreciated.

I remember that on CM10 there was an option to increase that warning till it reaches 1000 under Settings > Security
I hope it comes to CM10.1 because that bugs me too.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

YES! Me too, thank-you for this thread.
I've tried the methods you talked about as well and nothing seems to work on the Nexus 4 version 4.2.1. (updated on Friday btw).
=(
Anyone have any success? I really don't want to use any other apps to text.

I've used GoSms but still had the same issue. The stock app won't send messages to groups which is super lame as I like the simplicity of it.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

This is really frustrating. I sent a text to my group of friends at 7am in the morning and 10 hours later its still flagging the error and its unsent. I can't send any more texts :banghead:
Can someone please help?!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Anyone had any progress in resolving this?

Not in stock, as Google have done the right thing as to stop rougue apps sending SMSs in the background without your knowledge. OK, there should be the option to turn it off but tbh if you're sending that many SMSs why not just send an email instead? Or call? You'll get the conversation over in 5 minutes!!
My rule of thumb is more than 5 SMSs, call as it's quicker

I have large groups of friends and regularly text a lot on a weekly basis, calling and email is out of the question for such large numbers.
To justify this is madness I tell thee! Point being it's down right ridiculous and it has never been a problem before. I'm having to hit allow for 100+ text and its a huge problem
It takes best part of half a day to get these approved. I've tried everything out there still no luck.

Solution
I was able to use the max_outgoing... trick on my ICS phone but it stopped working on my JB phone. I don't know what's the trick but there is an app on Google Play that worked on my JB 4.2.2 phone - I'm not going to advertise it here but you can search for yourself. Bon chance!

[Q] Hacked Phone

I have a buddy who has a phone that was hacked. His GF has access to his Texts and Call logs. She even knows when he is resetting his phone as she sends him text messages telling him to make sure he does a good job wiping it... CRAZY
What is the root cause for this, how can it be prevented... and what exactly is she doing>?

I doubt any mod or program with or without root access can notify someone when they enter recovery to wipe their phone. Beside how would a phone be able send a sms while in recovery?

This should not be impossible to do with an app. Even with tasker, it is possible to create an app (app factory) that will have a trigger (sms sent or sms received or phone call received or phone call placed), and send a text to a predetermined number with details of the sent/received text or the tel# called. And these text messages can be set to not be stored on the phone.
Yes, I think this will work, because I have set my phone up with such a tasker profile (created an app from that profile, and hid it from the app drawer) - so that if my phone is lost, I can send it a specific text message, and it will respond back to me (at a predetermined phone# with GPS coordinates of the phone), without leaving a trace of the message with GPS coordinates on my phone.
It should be possible to change this to intercept any sms message (incoming or outgoing), and send that message to another phone#
Or, she may just have access to your buddy's service provider's account details (log in to the website, see incoming/outgoing call details easily)

Have him use titanium backup from the play store to back up his apps then have him factory reset his phone root stays then have him get his apps back through titanium backup.

Sounds kinda like cerberus. If your friend flashed the stock rom like mdc or mdl he should be able to remove the app. I know there is a setting to hide the app. And if he had root you can make the app non-removable. The only way to remove it is to flash the complete stock rom.

Most certainly not joking. I looked into his app drawer/app folder, and could not find any apps out of the ordinary. At first, I though maybe she was logged into his Facebook messenger account, so I uninstalled it... it made no difference.
