So I just bought the G2 and have noticed that certain contacts now show their callback number when they text me. Both in the stock messaging app and Handcent. I was previously running Handcent on my Droid Bionic. Same JB 4.2.2 same carrier. Only difference is the Bionic was rooted. But, it had never shown cb numbers for other people before. I know people didn't randomly enable the cb optionovernight so that shouldn't be the problem either. Anyone else having this problem or know how to resolve it?
Thanks!

Hey guys,
I'm having some issues here. When receiving sms, the senders number doesn't always appear. Instead, it shows the first word of the SMS as the sender.
This happens when the length of sender number is less then 5 digits e.g. if you receive a text "test message" from 224 or 2244 then instead of showing 224 or 2244 as sender's number, it will show "test". I don't know what these kind of number's are called in other countries but we call it SHORTCODE. I've also heard people calling it SNO. Normally these messages are sent from the mobile operators or VAS providers.
No matter what I do, I can't see the sender number. I've tried using Handcent and ChompSMS. I've checked the message details etc but nothing helped. I've even tried using different ROM's. Currently I'm using Cyanogen's latest ROM.
I hope someone out there knows how to solve this problem and will help me as well Thanks in advance.
Guys! Has anyone else faced this problem? Looking forward to your replies...
I haven't rooted but when I used to have problems with custom builds on my g1 I would usually just wipe and flash...that fixed my problems almost every time
I had this problem even in the stock ROM. It's not specific to custom ROM.
Hey, everyone!
So I am currently writing a small app for my friend which simply parses incoming text messages for a user-defined keyword and if it is present then it automatically sends back a corresponding text message with more information. It will essentially be used to get more information on events that may be going on.
The app works just fine on my phone (Droid X, rooted), however, my friend has the LG Optimus S (Sprint, unrooted) and the application doesn't work. It will receive the message and parse it correctly and it will say that it sent the text message to the right number, however, that message is never sent. Not only that, but once the app tries to send the text he is no longer able to send texts until he reboots his phone. He is able to receive texts fine but he just can't send any.
I tried running the app on another friends phone which is also on Sprint and unrooted and it works fine as well. All of the phones are on Froyo. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem is?
Thanks!
Running latest nightly cm7 (5). With netarchy's latest kernel. Using handcent for text.
When sending text under 160 everything works great. Once going over causing a split, the recipients of my text gets gibberish. Scrambled letter and symbols. Is anyone else getting this? Both my phone and my brother's phone do the same thing, so I know you should get the same results if you use the same setup as me. My question is why and what can we do to fix it?
I have read about this before but not actually experienced it yet (no long texts). I am running CM7 on my ns4g. I heard the simple solution was to go into your sms settings and simply select to have the app split up your texts at 160 characters.
Oh - sorry - you are using handcent. forgot. I just use cm7 sms app. hmmm. not sure. handcent doesn't have the same option?
Handcent has those options. They don't do anything. I ran cm7 on my evo with handcent, never had this problem before. So I'm thinking its a phone specific problem.

Search is your friend
Its a CDMA issue. Have your texts split up into multiple txts at the 160 character count. There is even a setting in Handcent that says something about compatibly with CDMA

i have used both settings in handcent for splitting by character and by word at the 160 limit. neither of them seem to work. the recipient receives two texts but it's all gibberish. I never once had this problem on my evo which is cdma also. both phones ran CM and handcent. I've gone through each and every setting in handcent and CM to double check I wasn't missing something. regardless it should work without me changing a setting to allow long texts. It is something that needs to be fixed.
What i'm thinking the problem is, is a setting that was forgotten to change from the gsm phones in the sms settings.
I just installed Miui, using the stock sms app from that it still scrambles the texts over 160. It says it's sending two texts, but something is horribly wrong on the receiving end of the text. So i'm pretty sure it's not a problem with handcent settings. It's the fact that these roms are ported from the GSM NS and we're missing something yet.
I'm going to install a stock image after work today and confirm that it works on stock roms.
I'm very shocked no one else has complained about this. I have two NS4G phones both of which have the same symptoms.
Just confirmed that 160+ sms messages send fine from a stock os on the ns4g. using stock messaging or handcent.
Using CM or Miui is causing gibberish to come through. There seems to be a problem using non stock based roms at the moment.
That is interesting. I had the problem, but I resent the same exact text except I broke it into 2 smaller sms and it was received fine. I can't remember what rom that was though, because I've been through so many and havent heard of the issue since I setup the automatic split sms in handcent.
I'm using CyanogenMod 10.1.3 on my Sprint S4, and I cannot receive multipart text messages and it is driving me nuts. I always get the "1/2" or "1/3" notation and the first part of the message but then I never get the second or third part.
Has anyone else experienced this with this phone and ROM combo? This is with both the stock messaging app as well as Handcent. Not sure if it's the phone, the carrier, the ROM...or what. I've never even ran the stock ROM on this thing unfortunately so I don't have any experience to go on with that.
I've tried other messaging apps too with the same issue...really strange.

I've noticed that the issue seems to only be from certain carriers. I have several friends that are on Sprint and I can usually get mulitpart messages from them. I have a few people that always send me long messages from US Cellular and those always get cut off.
I've updates to new CM Nightly's, new SMS apps, put a stock rom on and updates PRLs etc...
I have no clue what is going on with this. Anyone else had this problem?
Hello everyone. So, I recently installed the latest snapshot of CM 11 for the Sprint LG G2 (LS980). I LOVED it, super smooth, with an occasional issue of the screen freezing when unlocking, where the screen would turn on but would not register any touch and had to be hard-reset. While annoying, I was fine with dealing with this issue every now and then.
Eventually, I realized that I was unable to send SMS to two friends. I could send SMS to everyone else that I contact on a regular basis but them. I have my number ported to Google Voice, and after I would text (it would even say sent, with both the "Messaging" and "Hangouts" applications) it would not appear on the web version of Google Voice for these specific people as being sent. These folks have Verizon and AT&T, which I could still send SMS to for other contacts. The only thing I could think of is that one person has an iPhone and the other has a dumb flip phone.
I was wondering if anyone has had similar issues or know where I could look to fix these issues because I would love to continue using CM for that Kit Kat stock feel. Thank you in advance!
