Contact Groups - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using KaosFroyo rom and the contacts with this rom don't allow me to group my contacts. Does anyone know if the Taz roms allow grouping in contacts.
It's really a necessity for me with my business.
Thanks!

I don't think that would change the contacts behavior. You may need to try a different dialer off the market. I've used Dialer One in the past, but I don't know if it has that specific feature. Check it out.
I think there is an actual app on the market called Contact Group Manager, though. This might be preferable for you because if you back up the app and it's data, then when you flash a different ROM later you can restore the app and it's data so you don't have to set up your groups again.

Thanks for the input. I don't think Dialer One has that function if I remember correctly, I'll give it another try.
I did download the contact app you recommended and its exactly what I need, but there's a problem... everytime I try to scroll through the contacts (using the scroll tab on the right), it FC's when I hit "H". Not the worst problem, but annoying. Maybe when KaosFroyo releases V39 that might help??

I doubt if a change in ROM or ROM versions would make a difference. Sounds like only a bug in Contact Group Manager. I would contact the dev about it.
Glad I was able to help.

Figured it out. If I keep the sort order set to "default" everything works fine.
I'm a happy camper. Thanks again for the help.

Text issues

Recently my thunderbolt has been sending 4 copies of the same text message to everyone. Has anyone encountered this problem or know of a fix?

Mine sent a message three times today. Not sure why. Using Go SMS Pro.
This is a Verizon network issue, along with several others regarding the thunderbolt. Hopefully it will be fixed soon .

I'm having a different kind of texting issue.
Sometimes when people text me, I'll pull down the notification bar to reply, write my message, and try to send. But the "Send" button is greyed out! I have to close out and reopen for it to work again.
Are you running a custom Rom or a different sms app than stock?

Stock for both.
EDIT: I just realized you probably might not have been talking to me. Oops! If you were though, disregard this edit.

Yes that was directed at you. For the little time that i was on stock i was noticing that too. I think that it is a bug with the sense text. I disabled everything in stock sms and started using go sms, seams to have fixed it for me.
Sense seems to have some issues updating it's texting widget for me, I'll get the notification for a new sms, I'll go to my widget screen to read it and it won't be there, it's not until I go through the notification bar to read it that it shows up, kinda annoying.

Check your SMTP server settings.
That was the first thing I did. Tried them every way possible. May go back to different rom.
Are you on wifi trying to send?
I only ask because I had the same issue, until I realized my gmail smtp settings wouldn't work while I was using my home wifi network.
I know I know, silly mistake. But hey, they happen

Go to application management & clean cache & data of the app, restart & retry? Might work.

What rom you're using has no bearing on it. Your settings are incorrect.

Stock messaging app

Is there a way to completely remove the stock messaging app without messing anything else up? If so, what do I remove? I'm rooted tuning warm two point three. Thanks in advance!

If you have Titanium, you can just freeze it and it won't show in your app drawer. I am not sure if you can remove it and still have messaging work, but here is a link to remove it from the zipped ROM via 7-Zip file manage(free) that Scott put together. Check it out as you can remove things you don't want and add things to the ROM zip to your liking. He also updates on what to leave alone. http://www.scottsroms.com/showthrea...od-CleanROM-before-installing-v1-0-10-12-2011
Completely removing the stock mms.apk will totally break all messaging function.
Damn, I guess I will freeze it and see what it does, thanks guys

I believe that freezing it will do the same thing as well.

When you say will do the same thing as well are you talking about removing from the app drawer or killing all messaging functionality?
i was able to remove mms.apk with no ill effects, i used Handcent as replacement. ymmv

Have you tried to send an MMS? The last time I did this back on the OG Evo, SMS worked fine, but MMS wouldn't work anymore.

Facebook app bugg for ICS

So is any one using the ICS ROMs having issues with facebook? I am having this weird issue every time I try and post a status I get a FC. It happens to me on every ICS ROM (I also do 5x wipe every time I install the ROMS)
clear the app's cache and data. can also do the same with a reinstall. last resort would be to ditch the official app for something else
Works fine for me on CleanRom 4.1.

Working on CleanROM 3.7, too.
Log into Facebook on your computer. Click in the update your status area. The button next to Post where you select who your are sending your list too. Select anything besides custom. I had a custom list with 2 groups in it and Facbook would force close everytime. Try changing it to friends. Enjoy!

That was actually my problem lol, too bad I can't use my custom list

Agreed kryptik06:
I was trying to use Facebook more like Google+ with Customs lists. Looks like Facebook doesn't like that. Glad it fixed your issue. Took me awhile to find that answer too.
What was weird in my case is the issue kept following me to different phones. Then I logged in as my wife and had no issues. That told me it was a facebook setting. So I changed that and bam!
Good times!

Any clue on whats causing these system errors

Everytime I use Facebook messenger ill receive these errors one right after the other. They appear after I send a message or shutdown the app. I uninstalled and re-installed and the same thing keeps happening. Thanks in advance.

I have problems with messenger when I have the chat heads active. I will receive the system ui crash lots of times and then when I disable it I never see the error again. Might be worth a try?
I've had the chat heads disabled since they first came out, not a fan.
Well I narrowed it down at least. It was my launcher (GO Launcher) I set sense as my default and used FB messenger and didn't receive the messages. No to figure out why. I'm gonna contact GO as they have EXCELLENT customer service, partly the reason I use their products.

Huh that's strange that you all of a sudden started getting errors with that launcher even though you've used it for a long time. Glad that you were able to get it narrowed down though and hopefully they will have an idea of what's wrong and how to fix it
