[Q] SMS layout all messed up - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Question about the default messaging app for the streak. (I say default because this has happened to me on the Dell stock rom, simplestreak, and streakdroid 1.9)
The layout of my SMS is all weird, messages look like this
Friend: Reply back 1
Friend: Reply back 2
Me: Test message
Me: Test message 2
I'm used to messages threading properly like:
Me: Test message
Friend: Reply back 1
Me: Test message 2
Friend: Reply back 2
Any suggestions? (I don't really want to use a 3rd party SMS app, and most look the the iPhone.. so no)
Thanks

That happens to me from time to time. I would recommended 3rd party apps but you've made it clear you don't want to use them so good luck.

Fixed i t
Looks like I suffer from that timestamp bug on incoming SMS. From what I can tell, Rogers devices with 3rd party ROM's have that issue.
Basically all incoming texts get timestamped 5 hours earlier, so they always appear above my texts.
Found a free app in the marketplace that addresses it. (SMS timefix)

[Q] Is there an app to remove old text messages?

I know the stock Messaging app has an option to remove text messages over xxx messages but it doesn't work. I have 700+ text messages with some of my contacts and I'd like something to automatically remove all the messages over 200, i.e. I'd like no more than 200 texts per contact.
Anyone know of a program that will do this?
Handecent
try handecent sms, I think that It has this feature, I cant check at the moment. But iirc it does.
I tried posting a link but I dont have more than 10 posts so I cant. It should be easy to find.
hope this helps. Either way its a great app.
go sms pro has a remove old messages feature. its pretty good actually. plus its free of charge!

I have recently purchased an S3 and I am quite happy with it except it is showing one unread message and when you open messages there is not any unread messages.
I have managed to clear it by rebooting my phone and then when I receive another SMS it goes back one unread even though I have read.
How do I clear this annoyance.

Are you using the stock messaging app? I bet you're not... If you have a third-party SMS app, the stock messaging app will continue to register and notify about new messages received, even if they've been read in the third-party app.
To resolve this, just switch off notifications in the stock messaging app.
This is a bug in the firmware, it has been fixed you just need to wait for the OTA to be pushed to your phone

No. This is a problem with some S3s. Check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705015
My colleague had this issue and I played around with it on Friday without success but she says that the issue was resolved on Friday and she has received several messages and calls but the 1 is not stuck on the icon after reading the message anymore. I am at a loss as to what I did...

[Q] SMS APP - Problem

Hey people .
First let me just talk about the problem: Everytime that i send a mid/big sms, the Delivery Report appears many times 'in big sms it can appear 5/7 times', when it is supposed to appear only one time
Another thing is that everytime i receive an sms or when an sms is still sending, if i want to go up or down in the list of sms, the sms app always move down to the last sms that i have in the app
So now imagine: you send a big sms, and until that sms is completely send you want to copy and paste another sms to send, what happens? the delivery report appears too many times so you won't be able to copy the sms you want to paste because the app is always moving down to the last sms
So my question here is this: Is there a way to stop the Delivery Report "appearing too many times"? and a way to stop the app from always moving down?
I wait your answer people , and the answers that help me i will click the Thanks Button to you :good:
NOTE: don't recommend me apks like: go sms pro, hadcent, wali, and pansi, because they don't work very well "some bugs". But if you know any other good sms app out there that is good without problems, then tell me please . Or it can be an sms app of an GB Rom out there that is working good, that would be even better because i like the original sms app in GB roms .
Cheers :good:

[Q] KitKat bug: SMS sent from non-default app results in duplicate outgoing message

Using GlowFly, SMS Enhancer, and SMS Popup (all similar apps), and their Quick Reply feature, stock messaging and Chomp both show the same message going out twice (the recipient actually receives one message).
I believe this is because of KitKat's new requirement of a default SMS app being the only one that can send. However, Quick Reply circumvents it, and I think it results in this bug.
Anyone know what I can do to fix it? I love the feature.
Thanks!
Please let me know if this is not the right forum.

Signal messenger unsecured SMS will not send over 160 characters

I've been attempting to use Signal as my default SMS app for the convenience of not switching between two different apps for messages. It mostly works fine, but as the title says, if I send a long SMS that needs to be split into multiple messages, it always fails to send. I'm on US Cellular, if that matters. It doesn't have an issue with this functionality in the default app (Google's Messages) or the other third party SMS app I tend to use, Pulse SMS from Luke Klinker. It also doesn't have any options to convert long SMS to MMS, as some apps do.
Googling for the issue, I was able to find some similar problems for specific model of phones from a few years ago, but that had all appeared to have been reported on and patched at that time.
Is anyone else using Signal on their V30? If so, can you successfully send a long text message?
If anyone has any suggestions or anything, let me know. Otherwise I'll try to report it to the Signal team soon.
