So about handcent - I get no notifications whatsoever.
First I disabled stock SMS app notifications (because it rang twice on every SMS) and it worked fine. Then, when I tried the handcent widget, I suddenly stopped getting notifications. Even after removing the widget or reinstalling the app, still nothing.
dialerOne problem :
It's not really a dialer one problem, rather a stock dialer problem. After I click on a missed call notification, it opens up in both dialerOne and the stock dialer.
Hope somebody can help me...
Can you at least help me with the notification problem ?

Try chompSMS, free on marked..
It has apps even on the widget, so I think I'll rather stick with the stock app :-/
try removing handcent and reinstalling it (do a reboot in between).
nope, doesn't help
Hey all,
I've been using go sms for a very long time now, but it keeps giving me oops no messages, forcing me to restart phone.
I'm using chomp sms at the moment but, I would love to use the stock android message app but I don't know if that is possible without being rooted .
The stock samsung sms app I don't like.
why are you posting in the wrong section?
Hey,
I'm having an issue and I'm not sure how to debug or where to seek for solution. Sender told me, that she sent me two messages, received reports, but I had received none. This is really hard to pick out, because if sender gots the report then he usually dont send the message again or tell me about it, unless it was an important message. I just installed Ghostly SMS app, but I'm not sure if it is the case, as my SGS should not be missing of ram, and I wasn't doing anything that would be using ram excessively (probably phone was just at the pocket at this time).
Any ideas how to find the source of such behaviour? My sim card is new, and I'm running omega v43.1 with stock kernel.
Thanks
Usually that is caused by your or the sender's network provider and not one of your device's.
I always notice it wheo sending from Germany to Luxembourg. I get SMS' like 8 hours later (if ever) but sender almost immediately gets the notification.

Problem is that I'm not using a lot of sms so it is difficult to catch some regularities in such behaviour. But maybe there is something for which I could look in logcat?
If it's caused by your provider as I suspect then your device does not get the sms. Unless you have access to your provider's logs you can't read them.
I've had people call me on sim cards that were not in a device and have it ring through or Sms that were "received" by devices which were not powerd on for months. So yeah =)

Ok, ghostly SMS just managed to restore 2 messages which didn't show in default messaging app. That makes me sure, that the phone actually receives these messages, so it's not the fault of the provider or sim card.
These 2 messages were received in a different time. After I noticed first one missing, I texted the sender to ask if she wrote me anything else, but she didn't and her answer was also received as a ghost sms. No huge resource consumming apps were running at this point - phone was on the desk with nothing running and screen turned off.
You could try a non-stock Sms app with a priority receiver, such as Go sms.

Thanks, will give it a shot. But do you think that I should keep the default sms app? There's an option in go sms pro that it can handle messages if the stock app is uninstalled - I could do this using titanium backup or something and restore it in case of problems.
Ok, I did two things:
1. Tried installing Go sms pro along with stock message app - problem still occurs.
2. Tried uninstalling stock sms app and making go sms pro the only app which has to handle sms sending-receiving. But honestly I'm not sure about the results... First because ghostly sms is not working in such scenario, so I had no feedback from this app. Second is that nobody told me that I missed some messages and didn't answer.
So I'm stuck again and have no idea what to do. It happens on different network trans-receivers (I mean its not location dependent), also it is not sender-dependend (I miss even spam messages) and it's not sim-related because I had my sim changed. I believe that there must be something with the stock sms app, otherwise there wouldn't be apps like ghostly sms.
I have had similar issues chronically. Likewise found ghostly sms has received some that stock didn't receive.
In past I have found Go did no better. However, I have not rooted and did not remove stock app.
Among "power but non-root users", I don't think of myself as having lots of apps, but compared to more "normal" users, it is a lot. So I suspect that like me, you may encounter more memory issues than you are aware. I regularly run: facebook, fb messenger, accuweather, hacker keyboard, nitro touchdown, stock email (couple accounts), mypod, xabber, business calendar, stock browser.
Another observation though is the bloat that occurs in the messages database. I receive probably 20-50 messages each day that I can quickly delete (from automated monitor system). If I go to settings -> applications -> all, then I can see data and cache size for Messages is perhaps several MB. Clearing these, I then open Messages and it apparently rebuilds the database, as data size now quite reasonable. No messages lost. If I also reboot, it may send messages that it apparently thinks were not successful (sometimes it is correct, sometimes recipient reports it is a duplicate). However, after this, message delivery seems more reliable for a while.
Now, it doesn't take long for the unreliability to return, at least not 100%, so I will continue running ghostly. But with the occasional rebuild, I no longer have the situation where it seems I am losing most of my incoming, which I have seen.
So, it would seem that the messaging database can get corrupt or performance becomes so poor that it is effectively corrupt.
YMMV, obviously, but hopefully these observations help someone find the real problem. This is a very annoying and serious issue.

Hey,
I've almost forgot about this thread. I managed to deal with the problem by removing V6 supercharger script from the Omega rom which I use and it seems that for a few weeks now I havent lost any message.
However in your case this must be something different. In information about messaging app I have that the app takes 4.17MB, Data takes 16kB and cache is 0B. Version of my messaging app is reported as 4.1.2.-I9300XXELLC

I'm using Omega rom too and I have the same problem. I got all SMS with Ghostly SMS. I notice the problem appear after doing a Nandroid restore or Omega upgrade without full wipe. I will now remove supercharge to see what happen.

I tried the same thing (Clear data) for the SMS app didn't help.
Ghostly SMS work.
Like I just mention I will try to disable supercharge to see what happen.
Has anyone gotten the group texting that works on the S3 working on the S4?
Bump.

Group texting as in it turns a message to multiple recipients into a MMS message so everyone can see the original message and all replies? If so, it's been working just fine for me
Weird. I don't even get the prompt that my other friends do. Can you upload your messaging.apk?

I'm actually using handcent atm, but I will test with the stock messaging app & let you know how it goes

I don't even have the option for it, yet everyone else I know has it on their phone. I guess I'll try to rip it from a Verizon ROM.

My group messaging does not work. Everyone thats in my group gets an individual text message. It shows that it was sent as a MMS.
please help,
thanks
This is where Handcent or Handcent Pro Beta flourishes, It works good. If you install it just disable your stock "Message" program under Applications > All.

I tried Handcent, still does not work.
Guys, this is just strange and never happened when I'm using ICS before. Right now my XT910 using Official JB EU and already frozen major stock app, include stock SMS app.
Since then, I can't receive or send any text message even using alternative SMS app like Pansi or Textra. Stock SMS app must be unfrozen and then I can texting.
Is there any fix for this? or let the stock SMS app unfrozen and disable it's notification..?
sorry if my English is bad...
