[Q] "Messaging has stopped" toast alert on 4.3 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Just curious if anyone has experienced what I've been seeing on (I believe) every CM-based 4.3 ROM I've flashed...
Basically every time I receive a text message, I get a quick toast notification saying "Unfortunately, messaging has stopped."
It just comes up really quick and disappears immediately after, and I still receive the message just fine (able to open up my messaging app as well as reply via my status bar).
So it's not life or death for me, but it gets a little annoying. Is anyone else having a similar problem? If so, has there been a fix identified?

Just for anyone else's reference (in case you have the same problem at some point), I narrowed the cause down to setting a custom vibration pattern within the MMS app. As soon as I changed to one of the default vibration patterns, the problem has disappeared for good

SMS Issue with Dream

I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but I hope it is not a single problem. The issue is that sometimes when i receive a SMS, the notification shows up on the top bar. I pull that menu down, and sure enough there is a preview for the message, but sometimes if I click on the message, or go into the messaging app, that message doesnt show up in the conversation. This gets very frustrating b/c if I go back to the notifications menu up top, the new message is removed and the SMS seems to be lost forever.
I've had this issue with Handcent, ChompSMS, and also the native "Messaging" app too. Anyone else encounter this? If so, were you able to fix?
I have the HTC Dream from Rogers, rooted.

There was a issue awhile back with early hero builds dropping sms all together but I know yours is a different issue. But I have a similar problem with gtalk sometimes. Whenever someone would log off and log back on and send me a message I will see it in notification bar but not in gtalk. Thought I would throw my 2 cents in.
I wasn't even able to get SMS for some reason, I had an unlocked G1 using AT&T and SMS just didn't seem to work. I didn't know the G1 supported SMS. I'm upset now.
Best of luck for you getting your problem resolved. I would recommend upgrading but if your in the newest update release, I don't know much to say.

[Q] SMS text in notication bar

Hi guys, hope you can help!
Basically the embarrassing situation has occurred a few times now when I'm showing my friends some features of the DHD a personal text comes in which was meant for my eyes only, however the first two lines of it are displayed in the notification bar when it arrives.
Surely there's a way to stop this from happening!?
Cheers!

If you're using HTC stock messaging app then there is no way to stop it. A solution would be to use messaging apps from the market like Handcent SMS and the likes. It will give you the ability to pop the notification but does not show the content.
I've just had a friend ask me this as well. Wanting just a notification sound and icon rather than disclosing the sender or the message body on the lock screen or in the notification bar.
I've got a DHD and don't mind if people see what i'm receiving, even to the degree that i've installed an app called ChompSMS which brings up a window on the homescreen displaying the full message.
I had a fiddle with the ChompSMS settings and it seems that you can increase the privacy settings to make it anonymise the notification, however as soon as you unlock the phone it will still show the full text in a window - I only fiddled a little bit, but couldn't find a way of disabling this without losing other features.
I uninstalled ChompSMS (for the purposes of this experiment) and had a look round at the generic (HTC) messaging settings and it seems like it's all or nothing, as soon as you turn off the 'received notification' option it greys out the options below it, meaning that you get no notification whatsoever when someone messages you (except for the green circle on the messaging widget - if you have this on your homepage).
I'm going to try installing Handcent (another popular messaging app) to see if I can make it do exactly what my friend wants done. I'll message back if I manage it.

[Q] [help] Delay when opening missed SMS from lockscreen

My s2 always suffer a 1-2 second wait when I try to open the unread SMS by trying to slide the message on the lockscreen...
If I do it per normal way, unlock device first, then go SMS app, then no delay.
Anyone face same issue? How to fix this?
yes i have the same issue, its very annoying.
seems there is no fix for that yet :-(

[Q] Hangouts Notification

The hangouts application is my preferred way to SMS and text. When I receive a message, I receive a notification like I should. After I open the hangouts app and then engage in further conversation, I get a notification sound after each message I receive although I am still chatting to the person. The notification sound rings with each incoming message weather I am in the application, within the very chat, or weather I am on the homescreen or anywhere else. The only way I've known to subdue it is by turning off the sound notification for hangouts messages completely.
I've had this problem since 4.4.0 update. Today after I flashed Lollipop I was expecting it to go away but it didn't. I thought about it and then decided to ask if anybody else have had the problem before.
Something I strongly suspect is when I cleared the "Google services Framework" in hopes of getting 4.4.0 OTA ASAP I might have messed up. At that time this was suggested by many websites which later turned out to be counter helpful and create problems with the GCM.
So, if anybody knows how it could be fixed, and I could get notifications in the normal way it would be much helpful.
Thank you.

whatsapp notification issue on V20

hey.
for some reason, i dont get notification on whatsapp even after disabeling battery optimisation for the app.
i get them for about 1-2 minutes after screen off and then i stop getting them untill I open the app again.
anyone having the same issue?
and even better, anyone found a workarround?
I don't have this issue. But I do notice that sometimes it wont vibrate but I believe that its because the phone was not locked. Go into whatsapp Settings then Notifications and make sure its all good.
hmm mine come through fine. only thing that annoys me are these new in line replies for 7.0. i liked that when i clicked the convo from the dropdown menu or heads up notification it brought up that popup where you can swipe between messages without having to open the app and conversation.....you can't see more than the latest message with in-line notifications so it's annoying, and you have to open the entire convo bc clicking it in the dropdown now opens the whole app. kinda sucks compared to before!
Thanks for posting.
I have the exact issue and it's really annoying!
I keep missing other people's message until I wake the phone and open the App.
Is there a solution?
Try go to notification setting turn on the light setting
