[Q] N73G SMS on KitKat? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just upgraded my Nexus 7 3G (2012) to 4.4. It used to be on 4.3 that, despite not coming with a proper SMS client, I could install one third-party and send/receive.
Here is what happens now. I can install 8sms and it will tell me it is not my SMS app. However when I tap "SMS Disabled" in Settings, nothing happens. There does not appear to be an SMS system setting on this stock ROM. So I can't seem to get it out of "Sending disabled" mode.
When I text from my phone to my tablet, I get a messaging notification in my tray from Android itself, but tapping it opens up just a toast notification. The message does not actually seem to get recorded anywhere. In 8sms it just appears as (No subject).
Any thoughts on whether this may be surmountable?

I can't answer you but I have a question: where can I find incoming messages? I'm on prepaid and there are incoming messages from the carrier but I can't read them.

They come into the notification tray for me when they arrive, but after reading them they are not stored anywhere. The information just vanishes.

SMS Notification Problems

Hi guys.
I seem to be having SMS notification problems. Upon receiving a SMS I get the notification fine, but when I dismiss it it does not go away unless I dismiss it a second time.
This is very annoying and hopefully not a "feature" of WM5 notifications.
Furthermore it does not seem possible to dismiss the voicemail notification AT ALL...
Reg fix anyone?
Thanks for any help!

I can't say you are the only one, but for certain, I do not have that problem. As for voicemail, once it is listened to, the vmail indicator/notification should go away.
Damn so then its a problem with :
a) Software I have installed
b) extended rom cab i have not installed
c) the planet alignment...
As for the voicemail yeah listening to it makes the notification go away, but surely "dismiss" should make it dismiss without needing to actually hear the voicemail ?
Anyone have any ideas ? I can post exactly what roms/software I have installed if it helps...
Cheers!
The "sms" that you have received is not a normal sms notifcation from the voicemail.
I think your voicemail has an extra option for notification, it's called "icon notification" in a normal phone you will see an enveloppe which tells you there are new voicemail messages. this enveloppe can only be deleted by listening to all new messages, after you've done that the voicemail will send a notification to your phone to turn the icon off.
BUT windows mobile 5 cannot handle the icon notification which means the icon will not be removed if you listen to your voicemail messages. while you're listening to your new voicemail messages you will notice that you will receive an empty sms (this is the notification for the phone to turn the icon off) unfortunately the phone does not understand the notification to turn the notification off, so as far as I know there's no way to get rid of the message.
I solved it by turning off the icon notification option in the voicemail, then did a hardreset and but my backup back.
I hope you understand what the option icon notification, otherwise just ask!
grtz,

annoying issue.

I've just had my touch replaced due to a fault and I have a little problem I cant remember how to fix.
When I send a text message, when you receive the little notification at the bottom to say your text has been sent, its vibrates 3 times as if to say I've received a text. Do you know how to turn the vibration off when sending a text?
I've had a browse and can't find any information on this
thanks in advance.

I have disabled all notifications for sms messages sent, so i'm not 100% sure if what I'm describing below will work as I don't have the option for sms messages succeeded (could be because there is no such setting or because I have already disabled this function).
Anyway, I'm sure it's work a look. Go to Settings\Sounds and Notifications\Notifications. In the Event box, scroll down to the option for Message : Message send succeeded (if there is such an option as there is one for mms) and uncheck the box to vibrate.

Annoying Delivery SMS

Hello
is there a possibility that all this works a bit more nicer?
no extra sms?
maybe just a different color or symbol behind the sms?
+1
it has been discussed but there hasn't been any solution so far. I'm used to recieving a delivery report as some sort of push-sms that you open and then it disappears and isn't saved in the sms conversation, but you can access it via the properties of the sms you sent.
Do you mean a message sent notification? If so, this isn't possible because of HTC Messaging crapware.... if you disable it and go back to the original WM messaging app, you can then use Advanced Config 3.3 to turn on sms sent notifications after....

SMS Sent notification ?

Is there anyway to continue using the HTC Messaging interface & get a message notification "message sent" ? anyone knows how to get back the ability to get an indication that your message have been realy sent?
Any registery tweak to enable this ?
No one with a solution? no one needs the "message sent notification" ?
i remember that is an option in ur mobile... cant remember where but u can change the setting to have "message sent delivery"
What I've done is to install Advanced Config cab that I had on Touch HD and enable delivery notification in the messages settings. I've not sent an SMS since that but am assuming it should work.
No, so far this has not been acheived without disabling the sense SMS UI
I've been watching daily as I too want a sent notification!
Sorry - that's me told!!

Have you tried turning on Setting/Options/Request delivery report/ in All Messages?
Also, have you seen this from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638 (number 52):
"O2 sadly do not support sms delivery reports no matter even if you enable them in sms settings or the registry. An alternative way is to add *0# in the body of the message followed by a space and then begin your message. The recipient does not see the code but you will get a message back saying when it has been delivered."
This is working for me.

Fella read the thread title, sent notification not delivery report
I have put an annoying alert on for "message not sent" occasions. Atleast this way I know when its deciding not to send. As it did this morning. But oddly, only my girlfriends number. I could text anyone else, just not her.
I jiggled about a bit and it is sending her messages again.
Its the first instance of any such behaviour.
Has anybody got this working yet?
I disabled HTC messaging MAINLY so that I could get this functionality back!
I've been looking for this feature too but can't find any posts about the registry tweak to enable it. I've found the registry key that enables it on the HD but that doesn't work for the HD2 as the messaging system is HTC's and not Windows.
There has to be a way to enable this on the HD2.
O2 delivery report *0#
O2 apparently dont support sms delivery reports. I know that using the short code before the message sends a report back - Is there anyway to have this short code entered automatically before sending the message. It would be very handy as I generally forget until I've sent the message.
Delivery report and sent notification are two different things.... one confirms that the message was sent out and not sitting in your outbox. The other tells you if your recipient got the message (via an sms)....
There is NO way to have sent notification with the Sense UI (HTC messaging). It just a completely different app that bypasses the Windows one completely.... only way to get this functionality is to disable the HTC messaging app and revert back to Windows. I prefer this anyway... its faster and less buggy. My keyboards also play nicely with the WM sms app.
If you want to do this, just google it... you may also need to use Advanced Config 3.3 to enable sent notifications which is usually disabled by default...
Can some of you guys tell me the reg entry to disable HTCMessaging?
So, no solution yet on how to get a "message sent" notification ?
I tried looking all over in all related forums.
Tried looking at all the published tweaks
However, so far, i didnt found any solution that will help me get an indication that my message indeed was sent out.
No mate i've not found anything yet
Hello,
Still no solutions?
Geeeez.. Everyone needs the SMS notication badly & same goes for me,
wish someone can create a cab file that when SMS were sending out
a loader appears on the taskbar or just above the text counter "0/160"
& when loader fully loaded it meant SMS have been send out.

[Q] Message Inbox shows duplicates / missing messages

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?
