[Q] SMS Glitch Trick HELP! PLEASE!! - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi my brother is currently using Note 3 and so do I. I texted him and he didn't reply me back. When I saw his phone, I saw the sms notification but the moment I clicked it, it showed "The process com.android.mms has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". And I told him something was wrong with his phone.
But he said it was a trick, he clicked some commands and showed me that the message app worked fine and showed every texts he had received and sent. When I clicked the message icon, the error message was shown again. But he wouldn't tell me how he did it. His current firmware is 4.3-N900XXUCMK2.
Thanks.

If you know an app closer to this, please tell me.

Twas merely a guess, have a look on the playstore. search "hide sms" or "hide mms"

could be this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bripts.awesomesmsfaker&hl=en

This isn't about faking SMS. This is about making your sms app disable and enable at your own will.

maybe you should look in his applications?

He wouldn't let me! Besides, I didn't see any application that would take a direct effect on SMS.

This. ^^
OR
Just ASK him again, if he doesn't tell you, you need to figure it out yourself. We have guided you and answered your question to what we know. We cannot spoon feed you information, sometimes you gotta do the work yourself.

Crash/Freeze on new SMS

Sometimes, my phone crashes/freezes when a new message is received.
I can see the message notification and read the first few lines in the preview. The promlem then is that I need to reset it and then the message can't be found.
Any ideas?
By any chance, have yoy removed the "messaging" icon from the today screen ?? If you have, just put it back.
I am not too sure if this solution would work for the Prophet, but it definitely did for my Universal. I was damn crazy with this problem and about to sell my universal when I read about this in one of the forum threads on this site and everything has been just fine since then.
Hope it works for you and kind regards

I have (or HAD?) the same problem. Now it's working perfectly (for the last few days).
Try to use a standard tone for incoming SMS (I'm using "Alert2").
Bye!

Interesting.
I'll look into that.
Thank you Corrado.
I am experiencing the same problem while using the Orange Today Plugin on my Dopod 818 Pro, disabled it and never had the problem.

Can I turn off the MESSAGE SENT alert? I can't find an option.

I don't need it to tell me that message was sent, I can see on the message board that it was. I can't find if I have the option to disable this or not.

u can do this by using "SKTools".
The sound and the message, because then I need to Dismiss the message that the message was sent. I don't need that.
Where and how do I change this in SKTools? Could you break it down a little more for me. Thank You

Delivery report for SMS

Hi all! I've update the software & I enabled the delivery report for sms.
When I send a SMS, I did not receive the delivery report. Anybody encounter this?
How can I make the delivery report work? Thanks

Are you using regular message application?
If so double check on you have ticked for delivery report for SMS and MMS in the settings
And check with your service provider its already activated to your sim card (this has noting to do with what kind of phone ur using, ask service provider to activate such service, if its available with them)

the X10i does not notify you if the sms was delivered, you can check by tap and hold on the message (sms) you send and a menu pops up and you select view report, it will show you if it is delivered or pending. it is a pain in the a$$.

I just called customer service. They told me on the right side of the SMS, there's an envelope. If there's an exclamation mark on top of it, it means its delivered...
I haven't use the regular message from the beginning.
Try using Handcent Sms, its free. And I have made customized handcent sms for X10.
check this forum handcent sms Modified to XPERIA X10 GUI
Once you installed,
On Handcent, go to settings/sent notifications/pick notify when message is received.
and do a test msg to a friend. It should show you an indication and you can pick custom tone.
Note:
if you get 2 notification for one message its because handcent and regular message both alerting for same event.
go to regular message and setting and remove all the notifications. keep only handcent.
Good luck

If it is MMS, then Exclamation mark, else Tick mark for SMS.....
Hi all,
I think I'm having a similar problem -
When I send a message, it definitely is sent - my friends are receiving them - but in Handcent, I get the blue-turning circle next to the message (as if it is still sending) and in the stock messaging app, the same message has the envelope with the exclamation mark.
Yet the messages ARE being sent.
This has only just started happening in the last day or so. I have installed quite a few apps to help save the battery since rooting - e.g. JuiceDefender, SetCPU, TaskPanel and StartUp Manager, but as far as I can tell I've not done anything to the SMS settings. As far as I can tell...
I'm on R2BA023, rooted, on O2 UK.
I've had a look through all the settings I can think of but I'm stumped now. This is the final niggle in my otherwise great new rooted set-up...
Hey - just wanted to update as I seem to have fixed it...
Not sure HOW, but it's one of the following. Seems to be something in "Startup Manager".
1) I had removed "Handcent SMS" for "User startup". Under the basis of "if I need it, I will run it".
2) Had removed the default x10 "Messaging" app from "System startup". It had 3 entries in there. I removed them all...
So one of those things broke the Outbox. As I mentioned, messages would send (confirmed by friends) but still appear as "in progress".
So, having put them all back in "System Startup", and rebooted, the "stuck" messages finally stopped being "stuck". Fixing it seems to have sent the messages again, but they are no longer "in progress". They are, however, time-stamped with the current time (e.g. today) and not the time sent (e.g. yesterday). It turns out they have been "sent" again.
Oh dear, I just tinkered to try to pinpoint the problem and I've broken it again.
Further edit:
Actually, far from having fixed it, it seems that now the "stuck" messages only send during a reboot.
Trying to send them when the phone is "on" just leaves them stuck in the outbox. If I power off & on, they leave the outbox... BUT the recipient gets them again.
Damnit.
Any ideas?

I dont think your rooting or any other application will affect this.
tell us what settings are u on when you go to :
On Handcent, go to settings/sent notifications/"What option??"
I think it's not so much the "rooting" as possibly "things I have tinkered with after I got power-crazy after rooting", i.e. trying to disable things I don't need from running at startup. Un-doing that seemed to improve it...
Odd that at the moment it sends during boot. So something runs at boot that sends my outbox messages, but it can't run once the phone is on.
I just uninstalled Handcent and used the stock app. Sent a message first time with no problems...
I will reinstall Handcent and take a look at what happens. I can't not have that app now, I love it (until I broke it).

its exclamation for all....
Well, re-installed Handcent. Seems to be okay now.
It's a bit odd, I never changed the settings in there, as far as I can tell.
Shiwantha, I remember that initially "Sent notifications" was on "Disable" but I changed it to "Notify when sent" when I was having problems, and it made no difference.
Anyway, it's fixed now. Thanks for your help!
A quick follow-up... I like to give as much info as possible in these situations so anyone else who happens to find this problem may find something here that helps...
After re-installing Handcent, there are now two entries in StartUp Manager's "User" section. After my previous tinker-sessions, I could only see one to enable/disable, but I thought there were two before.
So I think that I "broke" one of those start-up entries.
For the record, it is working now and I have:
- Disabled ALL "Messaging" entries in "system" section of Startup Manager
- Left BOTH entries for Handcent SMS in "user" section of Starup Manager
The only conclusion I can think of is that by disabling the "Handcent" entries, I "broke" one of them, and so could only re-enable one of the entries. I assume the other one had some kind of SMS outbox functionality.
I'm just guessing though. But at least I can disable the "messaging" stock apps and it all still works.
FIXED. Relief!

I just unrooted else would have shown u the screenshot.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
In additon to owning the X10 I own the X1. The message delivery notification was driving me mad on the X1. With the X10 I noticed there is a red X if the message has not been sent. However, once it is send the red X is cleared away. I like it this way much better.

yeah - but it will come back every time you exit and press Phone again, also, there is no option to display ALL Call Logs, either ALL or individuals....
We need to get rid of the SMS log entirely... or at least the option whether to log it or not...

i found a (kinda) solution, but you'll have to install GoSMS from the market. Anyway it's an awesome sms app, i used to use Handcent and Chomp but finally settle for this.
Under Settings---> Receive Settings , check "Disable other message notification".
check it out

Solved: Wear24 can't initiate text via google assistant

Can anyone send text messages via voice?
I'm using messages and not paying verizon, so via bluetooth.
Try this... (on the watch)
Pull up the google assistant
"send a text message to (person), '_________' "
I'm given two options
X Cancel
> Send
via watch
Error screen with a cloud
Sorry, something went wrong
I cannot get it to send.
What I think is happening is that the watch is trying to send the message via Verizon and their Verizon's Message+ app that I have disabled.
How do I set the default to google's Messages app that I use on both the watch and phone?
Anyone able to get this working?
Any ideas?
FYI yes, I can send a message normally via the watch and the app and yes I can reply to texts when they come in.
This is just an issue when I try to initiate a text via the assistant
OK - got it working for anyone who wants to know
Go to apps and find (simply hit the button)
"SIM Info"
open it
Hit the 3 dots at the bottom
3 dots again for "Advanced"
3 dots a third time for "Stop Using Carrier Profile"
Hit the check mark
You should now be good and ready to send via phone

I legit don't see that with my watch, can someone post picture or 2, upgraded to Wear 2.7.0 and android 7.1.1 on watch.
Where are you lost?
Same versions.
"that" is difficult to work with.
Maybe you could post pictures of what you see

Things listed is not possible with my wear 2.0 update either. When you click on sim info with newest update, the app gives an error for no connected to verizon(something like this)
Was possible with 1.5 or whatever it ships with.
Again, I am on the SAME version as you.
It works for me.
Have you disabled any apps?
Or, changed any settings that may be causing this error.
Also, try to get the error message in it's entirety.
Maybe a photo?
........
Maybe try turning on or off cellular service.
Maybe try restarting.
Try a few things. It should work, because it works for me.
But, sadly because it works for me and I am on the same version, I'm not the person to help you.
Maybe someone else can chime in.
Good luck
This works for me as well. Please post a screen shot of where you are stuck since the instructions posted earlier worked fine for me.

Here's what I see.
You may have to do a reset?
Fyi I already have it disabled. (Start vs stop)
No 3 dots here either, bummer...
Had to do a factory reset, i disabled cellular and all verizon stuff. Must be misunderstanding what you typed, I found it after clicking on side button once and scrolling down for sim info, I was going under settings/apps/system apps which is wrong lol.
thx mate.

Worked!
So this indeed does work - BUT - what if I WANT LTE data on the watch and to be able to send an SMS vis Google Assistant? Any ideas on that? I seems like Assistant is trying to send via the default messaging app and it does not have 'permission' to send via LTE. So either the messaging app would have to be Messages+ or the permission granted. The solution is above my knowledge of Android.

I agree with you. Disabling LTE altogether is NOT a solution but rather figuring out how to reassign the default messaging app may be the answer.
Unable to send text via assistant after following steps
Hi,
Thank you all for this thread! I just got this watch and followed all the steps mentioned. Unfortunately, I'm still unable to send texts via the assistant as it tries and the gives up saying " could not connect to phone". The same can be seen in the notification panel where it shows that it's disconnected from the phone. I've tried everything including a factory reset, deleting carrier and disabling all version apps. Here are some screenshots of my sim-info on my watch. Kindly let me know anything else that you feel that I should try. Thanks!

you should try and install the stock google message app in your phone, it worked for me and try to keep your watch in wifi it can also help
I did it it changed the messaging ("through Phone" from "through watch") but neither sends a message ( i am using the google messaging app) " says couldn't connect to your phone" nor calls (still says "through watch") Any thoughts?
