Problem with my profile pic in default messaging app...
The default msg app isnt showing my pic...any one hav any remody for it......
Thanks in advance...
same problem it was working chnged phone number now its stoped too
Just make a contact with your own number and your picture. And make sure your correct number appears in Settings > About phone > Status > Phone number. That should do the trick.
my phone does not show my phone number. what should I do
see this thread for a working solution - The CM7 works and doesn't require any trickery, then you can resume your normal rom afterwards.

Does ICS fix the bug in phone => keypad that disallows you selecting alternate nmbrs?
ie I have a contact with 3 phone numbers and would like to select their mobile number.
on the phone keypad, I type in their name and the contact name appears with their home number... there doesnt seem to be any way to select the mobile number for that contact.
I dont want to set the mobile number as default as there are times Id like to call his home number or work number as well.
I can personaly select all the numbers of my contacts with ICS .

Thats good to know, thanks.
Sorry if this is the wrong thread to raise this topic, but didnt know whr else I shud put this.
I bought a sprint motorola photon few days back and programmed it to my CDMA operator (Citycell - Bangladesh). Everything is working fine, got EVDO to work etc.
BUT whenever I receive an SMS from ANYONE or any number, the "0" in sender number is shown as character "D". FOR Example if i get an SMS from 01199800570, it will show I received SMS from D11998DD57D > it has nothing to do with that number being in phonebook or anything. any "0" in sender is shown as "D". as a result i cant even reply to these SMS,
FUNNY thing is, when i click on the sms to read it, the ORIGINAL number with "0"s (01199800570) is shown in the last line as [CB# 01199800570]
I have inspected the mmssms.db. I found 2 fields - ADDRESS (which contains all the phone numbers' 0 replaced by D] and CALLBACK_NUMBER [which contains the actual number]
Now I was wondering -
1. IF thr is anyway to fix it by tweaking system settings or something so that sender's number is received correctly [so that ADDRESS field would have correct numbers]
2. OR if it cant be fixed, if there is anyway to force the SMS app (Conversation.apk) to read Sender's address from CALLBACK_NUMBER field instead of ADDRESS field ...
3. OR ATLEAST can someone kind enuf to provide me with a script that would (when run) access the mmssms.db and change all the "D" in values of address column to "0" ?
This is NOT a photon 4g problem - but with most SPRINT cdma phones. The same thing happens with ANY sprint android - when programmed in different country, 0 is replaced with D in received SMS
THEN again, this is a problem in android version < ics. THE ICS phones that are programmed shows sender's number correctly
AGAIN, this is NOT a problem ONLY with my operator, I heard about similar problem in other countries too
Since ICS shows it fine, that means, thr are work arounds in gingerbread too. OR atleast if we can force the SMS apps to read sender's number from CALLBACK_NUMBER, problems are solved.
I know you guys are the best and if u look into it, it would only take a min of ur time to find a solution ... :angel:
anyone ?????
I have the same problem - using an XT800 with the chinese 2.2 rom
most of the time it works ok but it goes haywire on its own without any apparent reason! having a hard time figuring out the sender of each and every message that comes in, some help/ guidance would be very helpful
TIA
Hello all,
I have googled and googled and searched, and I can't find anyone with the same issue I have. I don't know if I'm using the wrong search terms or what.
I cannot seem to get a default dialer setting for ALL phone numbers.
- I have Dialer One installed because I like it better than the default.
- It installed no problem, though even when I was in the app, it would still switch to the default to make the actual call, I think. But that didn't bother me too much... at least I could use it to find the number I wanted.
- Then I installed Skype.
Now, every time I call a phone number that I have not called recently, the thing pops up AGAIN asking me if I want to dial it with "Phone" or "Skype." (Dialer One is never an option.) I can tell it to use the Phone always... but it will only set it for that phone number. I'm constantly calling new phone numbers, and I'm sick of having to continually tell it to always use the phone!
Soooo.... can anyone tell me how to do at least one of these:
- Either make Dialer One the default for all calls and phone numbers.
- Or make the default phone dialer the default for all calls and phone numbers... I can still open Dialer One to locate the number I want.
- Or somehow tell it to stop offering Skype to me. Ever. I'll open the Skype app when I want to call that way.
Note:
- In my Settings | Applications, there is no default dialer listed at all. Dialer One is the only thing listed. I may have tried to uninstall it back when I installed dialer one... which may be why I'm having issues. Maybe?
- Skype settings has absolutely nothing in settings to "Never offer" or anything of the sort.
- Every solution I've found says to clear the defaults, make a call, and choose always. Like I said... I do that dozens of times every week and it still keeps popping up.
***I do have the phone rooted, in case the solution requires that.***
Thanks in advance!
You can not replace the phone dialer..that will always be use whenever you are dialing some one. However installing a custom dialer will only give you a front end of the dialer but it will still use the default dialer software to dial some one.
Now try dialing any number thru SGS3 default dialer. It will ask you to dial thru phone or Skype. Choose phone and always.
Just Got my Le Max 2 820x from Geekbuying yesterday. Seems like a great phone. My one huge problem with it, and I'm hoping it can be solved, is that I sometimes don't receive SMS or MMS when people send them to me. I don't know why it works sometimes and doesn't others. I had a friend send me 7 text messages over the course of the day yesterday and I didn't receive any of them. I used my sons phone to send a test SMS and I didn't get it. Then like 2 seconds later I tried again and got it. I used his phone to send a picture (MMS) and it showed up fine. I texted his phone with the Le Max 2 and it showed up fine. Then I sent a picture (MMS) to his phone and it showed up fine.
I can't be using this phone if I'm going to be missing text messages. It's 95% how I communicate. I've already checked the APN settings and they appear correct. If they weren't, I probably wouldn't be able to send or receive SMS or MMS whatsoever. I'm going to do more testing today, but could DOZE be turning off my cell radio when it goes to sleep somehow so that they phone doesn't "see" the text messages when they come in? I'm hoping it's a software problem. Here's my rom info:
EUI VERSION: 5.8.015S (Stable)
Build Number: FEXCNFN5801507014S
Security Update: June 1, 2016
Please help! Oh, and last thing, I've already tried changing the messaging app from default, to Google Messenger, to Textra and it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Try with rom CM13, everything wil be ok.
I have the same phone and same problem and I fixed it. Search on Playstore Handcent Next SMS and install it than click Inbox > More > Settings > All > MMS (Network settings for MMS) > MMS framework than select Smart > Carrier Setup > Mode (Select from list) than just choose your country and your carrier thats it. I hope you can fix the problem. if you fix the problem just let me know please. Sorry about my english.

I didn't fix it, but I found what the problem was, and I found a workaround. Refer to this post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/help/swiping-app-closed-task-manager-t3481571
Basically, if I leave the messing app (textra) running in the background, I get all the messages and texts. But If I use the app manager/recent apps button and swipe the textra app to close it, somehow the system disables it until I open it again. That's why I was missing messages. So my workaround is to ALWAYS leave the Textra app running in the background and never swipe it closed.

Hi,
I had almost the same issue as you. I did try a custom rom and thought it fixed it, I couldn't unroot that one and BT didn't work though so I went back to stock, sometimes with SMS and some times without. Then the other day I was peeking in the hidden menu and saw something I couldn't understand "SMS over IMS" - it's apparently a way to use SMS as a IP-messenger i.e SMS over LTE. I tried to set it to "NO" which seems to have fixed it.
can you tell where is this hidden menu for "SMS over IMS"?
Thanks!
Hi,
Iam from India and i'm using leX821 version of le max 2. Here,I use a 4G network called Jio. So automatically my data turns on and off while surfing the net. Please reply for the answer
So far i like the RCS chat function but facing one issue. My career took time to change my new sim to previous number and google RCS varified ths temporary number. Now everyone I text doesn't know who I am lol. Trying to change number but this is hard af. Tried turning RCS off - restart - on again bit it goes back to old number.... Any solution??
This may help;
if you go to profile your picture in the messaging app then select "Message settings" then scroll down to "advanced" and click phone number then you can edit the number.
