I had the problem for a couple days after getting my hero. I connected it to my task killer. Here's some stuff you can try.
reboot and try agian
make sure auto recieve is on
update your prl
download 3rd party messenger app
restore to stock
if still screwed up... contact sprint
I haven't had the first problem with my sms's after rooting and installing a modaco's rom

Make sure you enable auto-retreival of sms and mms in whatever messaging app you're using and report back to us.

well i updated the prl. i have no idea what that is, but apparently it worked. did that and rebooted and it seems to be working fine now.

Few steps:
1. Go in to the default Messaging app > Menu > Settings and uncheck retreive sms and mms > uncheck notifications
2. Home > Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage > Messaging > Clear Defaults
3. Go to the people app, do like your going to send an sms message, a pop up will come up asking which app yyou'd like to do this from > check-mark default and select your preffered messaging app
4. paypal me $1

oh hell... i just learned something new... thanks!
UPDATE: BALLS!!! it don't work... :/
what does work is under people > contact > hold down on send message and you can choose default

I just started having this problem after doing the root and modaco rom. I have tried a PRL update, hard reset, and numerous soft resets, verified my auto-receive settings and have tried the stock app as well as handcent.
Any ideas?

Notifications are turned off by the following:
Go into the Default Messaging app (HTC's buggy one)
Menu > Settings > Scroll Down and Uncheck Notifications

Are you saying you removed the stock messaging application? If so, my understanding is that would be very problematic at best. Unfortunately the Hero still uses some code from the default Messaging app (even if you are using Handcent SMS or Chomp and have it set as the default SMS client)
"Long time listener. First time caller"

not the stock messaging app, the stock app

So, the more I'm reading about this issue, the more it appears this is possibly a permanent problem on the device once it appears. I have tried everything and cannot receive a text.

Can you provide a list of all the sprint/stock stuff that you removed?

So I called sprint tech support today. The tech was pretty helpful and seemed to be familiar with the hero. After 30 mins of various tests he came to the conclusion that I had originally suggested (bluetooth causes low ROM) and asked me to exchange the phone at a local store because htc wants this "batch" of phones back.
I find it hard to believe this issue is limited to a "batch" of phones as that would indicate that they know exactly what is causing the problem and would be able to fix it.

[Q] 2.3.20 not helping sync during screen inactivity

Hi all - new to this forum so apologies if the question has been posed already. I couldn't find a similar thread.
I've been having consistent trouble since getting my VZW Droid 2 in September with the phone not delivering important things like emails, text messages, Google chat messages and WhatsApp messages after long periods of screen inactivity (ie. an hour).
I'll turn on the screen and unlock it, then it goes and fetches those important messages like "I'm on fire - please come put me out now!". Suddenly I'll go from zero notifications to 10 of each.
I am using K9 mail, WhatsApp, Handcent SMS, Gmail, Twitter and all seem to be affected by this.
I checked all my settings, and it's not set up to sync only on wifi or anything, and each application is set up so that it should be sync'ing in the background.
I thought 2.3.20 was supposed to fix this issue, so I made sure to update the phone. However, I'm still having issues. I know I did some things to optimize the paltry battery life when I first got the phone, but can't find anything that should be causing this - and can't remember everything I did.
VZW's answer was to do a full factory reset, but I'd like to avoid that if at all possible because I'm too lazy to put everything back the way I have it.
Advice?
Thanks

Try:
Settings > Battery Manager > Battery Settings and making sure its not set to anything other than performance mode as anything else will do exactly as you are describing.
I know custom ROMs may also cause issues.

Handcent refuses to download MMS

Hey guys. this just started happening to me yesterday. Handcent refuses to download mms messages. I hit the download button, it blinks over to 'downloading' like it's supposed to, but then switches right back to the download button with no results. I've tried fully restarting the phone and still, nothing happens. I've checked for any available updates in the Market and there's nothing available.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Any tips/tricks to get this working for me?

I've had that happen before. Try clearing cache or cache and data from the app. If that don't work, uninstall it and download/install from market.

Okay so, i went into settings > applications > manage applications > Handcent Messenger and the only option i can find that seems like a cache clear is clear data, which i would assume wipes out all my past convo's. Where should i be looking to clear the cache?

This happened to me on Saturday as well. I received an MMS and I couldn't download it. I was on Wi-Fi at the time so I decided to switch over to 3G and it seemed to do the trick.

Mistasal has a point. WiFi will often take precedence over network and mms won't travel over WiFi. I just assumed you could clear cache. I just reinstalled when it happened to me. Plus you can save all sms/mms with apps like sms backup+ they are free and restore your convos.

The newest version has bugs that's causing the problems. If you could, roll back to version 3.7.9

The phone is supposed to switch to 3g to download mms. You still have the stock messaging app installed? Are you able to download the attachment with that? If not, you could try updating your profile (settings/update/update profile).
Handcent has lots of good issues, but it's downfall is wake lock issues when received messages are not checked. This has been somewhat less of an issue with cm7, but any subsequent messages throw the program into a wakelock state. To clarify, you receive one text, don't look at it. At this point, handcent uses only a few seconds in a wakelock state. Now, repeat test, but also receive a 2nd text (so now 2 unread texts). Wakelock state will be present until you unlock the phone. Not good.

Oddly enough, my phone only d/l's and sends MMS when WiFi is on. If I'm on 3G, I can only sent text messages. Handcent always gave me so much trouble with htis, I only use stock MMS now.

Your phone supposedly isn't supposed to download mms over wifi, only 3g/1x. Also, go to your stock messaging app, settings, and make sure your "auto retrieve" box is checked.

I dunno about the data connection. It worked when wifi was on and didn't work while it was off.
I'm also not able to download images in the stock messenger unless i'm on wifi.
Finally, if i turn on the auto-retrieve, i'll have two sets of messages to check.

You can have auto retrieve on, but you need notifications turned off in stock

Same issue with my Galaxy S4 GPE on KitKat 4.4.2. Unable to d/l any MMS. Really frustrating.

"Unfortunately, messaging has stopped"

Is anyone else getting this message? How do I fix it?

It happens to me when wifi is being used. Turn off wifi and it works again. Im thinking about taking this phone back.

Lol i dont have that issue. Maybe you got rid of something that you shouldn't have.

It happens to me as well. When did this happen? I transferred my old mms/sms to the S4. That error pops up if the message contained picture messages. To get around it I downloaded go sms from the app store haven't had the error since

Try clearing your messaging app's data. (Settings > More > App Manager > All > Messaging > Clear Data) or make sure you didn't disable the messaging app.

Fix Permissions?

This happened to me when I transferred my messages over from my iphone. (had about 40k) and whenever a large amount of messages appear the system has a hard time processing it all. If that is the case with you, just restart you phone and it'll stop after 2-3 uses.

You restarted the phone each time the messaging app crashed? When did the app crash? When you first clicked on messaging or when you clicked on a contacts name to read the messages?

I retarded each time the messaging app crashed, and it crashed when i went back from reading the message. This is right after I transferred all the messages also.

Maybe there was an issue with the transfer of your messages from the iphone to the gs4.

No issue, just lots of messages. It worked fine after that.

After reading up on this a bit, I think I have isolated it as an issue with wifi. Whenever I turn my wifi off, it seems to be better.

I'm glad that works for you. I always leave my wifi off. So I know that's not the problem. The problem will also show up in airplane mode

I have no issues yet, I will continue to update this if this fix works. Unfortunately, Samsung chat was useless to me and was unable to resolve my issue.

premium sms texts

Hi there, in my new s7 edge,
when i was trying to send a premium sms text,
it said "do u want to send? YES NO" and bellow there was an option like "always remember".
i wanted to press YES and always remeber, but i accidentaly pressed NO and "always remember".
now there is nowhere i can find the spot to reset it back and i cant send that sms...
its not an ISP issue as when i try the same SIM to another phone, it sends it without problems...

I had the same issue and I had to factory reset because I couldn't find it anywhere. Very fristra5
Sent from my Blackberry Bold

I am having the same issue. This is absolute garbage that this cannot be reset. I do not want to hard reset my phone to fix this. It takes me hours to get all my apps back in place and everything logged in. If Samsung's back up saved where my apps go and how I like things customized I'd be a little more reluctant. There has to be somewhere in the phone to fix this Short code texting.

People with high Wi-Fi drain try this:
Backup and Reset -> Reset Network Settings
This will only reset WiFi password and Bluetooth and it did had a positive impact for me.

Not sure what Wifi drain has to do with this topic...

Default app manager pro can clear default apps and bring back the open with menu. Pretty sure the lite version can do this too.

Nope no defaults set anywhere

Has anyone found a solution except for factory reset?

Just curious what's premium SMS? Compared to a regular SMS?

It's an sms sent to a phone number to approve a charge. Kinda like a 900 call.

I was replying to something like a redbox message - STOP, HELP, YES. Since I accidently hit "no", whenever I respond, the message FAILS

None of these solutions work. I've ready that it's a marshmellow thing.

Can't you just long press the messaging app from the app drawer and go to app info and clear data and cache to reset it?

You could try settings > application manager > more > reset app preferences

Try this:
Settings > Application Manager > Find the app (most likely it would be Messages > Storage > Let it compute (which can take some time) > then CLEAR DATA. This might delete all your texts though (not 100% sure since I haven't tried)

Go to Settings / Applications / App Manager, scroll to the SMS app (Messages is the default SMS app), tap the app, tap Set as default, tap Clear Defaults.
That should do it. This is how you clear defaults for every app.

I just did the same thing. I bought my S7 today. But there is no premium sms setting in the phone. And I do not want to reset my phone. I gave my 3 hours for it

Any chance that this is under App Permissions? Ir simply install Google Messenger.
