I installed Lookout security on my phone to find it if I lose it. I have never had a problem with it. I am now running the latest MIUI 10.1.28 and reinstalled Lookout. The built in firewall keeps informing me that Lookout is trying to send SMS. This seems a bit fishy to me.
Nope......
I have it with CM7. No problems with it and nothing at all like what you mentioned.

I'm on MIUI Nexus Prime 360 v1.3 with Lookout. I had an experience similar to yours, I uninstalled it and downloaded a fresh version from the market. Since, that time I only use the MIUI Backup to restore it.
Why would Lookout keep trying to send an SMS message? Is it trying to ask for an update? OR, is it sending them my call patterns, usage, or personal information?
Although I to am confused as to why Lookout looks my texts my texts, (which us why that popup only happens when you receive a text) I have found that if you open the superuser app and click on Lookout >SMS > Allow... you will no longer get that popup.

That's because you don't see the sms messages being sent back to Lookout. Either they are database update requests or your messages are being sent to them? Just don't know.

I've been using HandCent for about two weeks now and I really like the App. I have just discovered this whole "HandCent Services" thingy they are trying to sell me. I want to be able to have a backup of all my SMS texts at all times and be able to have them on my phone after a clean wipe (kinda like how Google syncs contacts). Or at least have it on my SD so that when I restore my backup from TiB it will be there.
So I'm asking ya'll's opinion: are the HandCent services worth the $9.99 they want a year? Does anyone use them?
Any insight would be appreciated.

If you don't want the headaches of trying to use TI Backup to do this (I most certainly wouldn't), then I'd say it's worth the $10/yr. I mean, seriously, what's $10/yr for this?
The only thing to be aware of: the restore process can take a while. It is most certainly not the most optimized process. Let it run overnight and you should be good, though.
(Disclaimer: I don't personally use these services but have researched this a bit. Ultimately, I really don't care about keeping SMS/MMS across wipes.)
EDIT:
These services used to be something like $7/month. That was ridiculous and most certainly NOT worth it.
Don't pay for crap. Also, I like Go SMS better. Fast and simple.

Does Go SMS allow him to backup and restore his SMS/MMS messages from one phone (Motoblur) to another (Sense)? Handcent Services does. If you can't provide him with an alternative, then how can you claim it's crap? It certainly provides a valuable service. If it's worth $10 or not is the question. I wouldn't call paying a good dev for valuable services paying "for crap". :-/

No need to disable the stock app, the text will just get sent once.

WHY DO WE LIKE IT? It's weird to think that this can be a standalone app apart from the clusterzuck that Facebook can be but, well, it really can. It's as good as GroupMe or Kik or WhatsApp in the sense that you're chatting with friends without racking up SMS charges but it's better than those services because most people have Facebook accounts and don't need to sign up for a new service. It's easy to add buddies to chat (through their Facebook account or phone number), almost scary easy to attach your location to each message and less complicated than GroupMe to start a group chat.
Even if you hate Facebook, you don't hate your friends right? The Facebook-ness of the app is invisible enough that even the most anti-Facebook guy will have to admit this is actually decent. Seriously, strip the Facebook away and what you get is a messaging app that your friends have already signed up for. Why not try?

There's built in chat in the Facebook app, been that way for a while now guys...granted their notifications aren't working right for most people but the chat works just fine.
side note: are they gonna fix multi-quote on these boards soon? some problem with ad-block?
Could one of you share the apk, it's telling me a dumb error like my phone is not compatible and does the same for the official facebook app ....

Works very well and integrates SMS, MMS and Voicemail into one app - it's sort of a "super" visual voicemail" - plays back voicemails nicely. I prefer it to VVM
Lol voicemail. What an ancient concept.
TextSecure for SMS and mms. Encrypts your texts locally and if the receiver is using textsecure as well then the text can be encrypted from end to end.
I won't go into detail about why I need this but there it is. Use it

It may be ancient but I at least wanna know what the message was that was left. VVM isn't even close most of the time.
I installed this app and it looks nice. I did find out though that after doing this, I could no longer send messages using the stock app nor using handcent. But I may stick with this app.
Update: Well I uninstalled this app and I still can't get my stock app or handcent to send a text message. Any ideas how to fix this? Getting to just do a nandroid restore.

I'm having a weird issue that I can't quite figure out the cause of. I have my Sprint S3 rooted and have flashed the Blazer ROM 1.6 on it. I haven't had any issues that I know of until now. I have my work email, which is run on a Microsoft Exchange Server, hooked up to my phone. I get notifications fine, emails, invites, etc. However, randomly, emails will not show up in their entirety. It will show 5 or 6 lines of the email and then nothing else. If I forward the email to another account, like my gmail account, the entire email is there.
Has anyone else seen this issue? I have tried searching and can't find anyone else with the issue. I thought at first it was my particular phone, but I returned it and got another S3 and the same thing happens.
Right now I have it back to stock, still rooted, and I'm not seeing the issue. That's what's making me think it might have to do with the Blazer ROM.
Hopefully someone else has come across this issue.
Should be in the Blazer thread not General......
You might try a full wipe and reflash. I have not heard reports of truncated messages.

I'm glade you like it as I have been using it for quite sometime now. I like that you can back it up in TB and take it with you from rom to rom. Plus you don't have to lock down your phone, just lock the email application itself.

What exactly do you mean by not having to lock down your phone, just lock the email application itself? You mean securing it so no one can get into your email?

I've been using Go Sms Pro since it first ce to Android. It was hands-down the best sms replacement in my opinion. The last two updates however have changed my opinion about it. They started pushing Ads like those annoying scam apps. The last one in particular made me uninstall it. It now places Ads on the bottom of the screen. I'm done with them.
Is there any app besides Handcent, Chomp, Texter that is a good pop up sms replacement. There are many apps on the market aand I've personally come across some awesome apps that wasn't on the top of the list of best apps. So is anyone has some suggestions on apps they use or come across, I'd appreciate it.

you can simply use ad blocker
it is not in play store as it is blocked by google https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install
it is the same one you uses with Mozilla and llinux
