Hello, I have an odd issue, I have a friend who is on sprint, and every time i send them an SMS and they reply, it comes back as an email, thier [email protected], any ideas why?
im using Handcent, btw
I havent seen that since i used it to send mms on iphone 3g before it was oringally supported. o guess that either handcent or your phone is interperting the message in it's form used by that carries i would try and re install handcent and reboot your phone.
they show up wrong in the stock messaging app too.. i've rebooted my phone a few times but no help.. will try removing and reinstalling handcent
*edit*
No help.. even after removing and reinstalling

I'm unable to comment on a Facebook Mobile Texts or reply "like" to a status via my facebook text. Example if I get a text from 358336 and it reads Pat is feeling good. If I text "like" to like that status it will not send it to 358336 it will send it to 358337 private message to the user inbox. Now I have tried everything to fix this even resetting my phone, flashing different roms and resetting my accounts setting on facebook still I cant reply to any texts from facebook.
Has anyone one else had this happen to them and if so, How did you fix it.
Happens to me too. That's an issue with Facebooks text service, not android or Eris so I don't think there's a way to fix it.

So is it still happening to you or did it just stop
Last I checked it was still doing that, after a few ppl on fbook told me I sent status comments to their inbox, so I got pissed and turned of texts alerts lol. Their text service has NEVER worked well for me, even on my old prepaid Samsung u350 (or whatever its called lol). I would set times I wanted texts, and would still get em all hours, I would sign up for friends, and only get a few, and worst of all when I had it set to NOT send me texts when I was online... I'd get em. So yea, their fault, their problem, and haven't seen any improvment in two years. I just stopped using it.

I have no idea what I did but I screwed something up. I prefer GV for my voicemail and have used it for a while using my Sprint number. Recently things got messed up somehow on GV and I had to go through authorization again, but this time I did that thing they are doing to streamline your Sprint and GV number (I never use my GV number anyway). Well, my voicemails goes through GV but so does text when I prefer Handcent for texting. How do I get texts back on Handcent?
Also, how do I prevent duplicate texts sent to the stock messaging app? I keep my text log clean in Handcent only to find all of them stored in the stock app.

you need to install voice on your phone again if you have uninstalled it, then start it up. After you are signed in you need to sign out. Not just close the program, you need to sign out. This same thing happened to me, for 2 days after I uninstalled voice I received zero text messages so I reinstalled it and rooted around until I saw the "sigh out" button. End result is Handcent is working again!!!! Hope this helps. As far as the dup texts,...... no clue I hate that too.
Oh man thanks, that fixed it.
If anyone has info on my 2nd question it would be much appreciated.

ya, freaked me out too, couldnt figure it out for 2 days, happy to help!!

Ok, so I did some digging, I am also annoyed by the dup text. My solution was to use root explorer and go into the file system and delete the native messaging app. Hope this helps.
from what I've done lately every time i install voice again, it will disable sending text to your phone, your regular text app, so usually i would need to use a browser to go to my voice page, go to voice settings, edit my number, and check the box that says send text to my phone, hopefully this helps you guys
I have a stock phone, 2.3.6 no root, no custom rom. All of a sudden, if I try to send an SMS message in anything but the stock Touchwiz SMS app, the send will fail. Have tried Handcent and GoSMS. Both fail. Resend in the Touchwiz app - no problem. They previously worked as designed. I don't 'think' I changed anything.
Can receive, read and everything in any of the apps...
Ideas? If not, I will probably reset the phone.
Thanks in advance.
Try and wipe data in the 3rd party app. It may not be communicating with your RILD properly
Thanks... Tried that... Removed Handcent and Go SMS. Deleted any named directories I found for those apps. Power cycled the phone... sent a message from the Touchwiz app -- fine... Reinstalled Go SMS - fail... Resend from TW app... goes right through...
last step would be to reflash modem... if not, wipe data.
Actually (my) last night. I did a few "factory resets" and SD format on my phone to no avail. Even installed GoSMS as the second program after the reset. Same problem. Touchwiz SMS app works fine. 3rd will not send.
I will probably try again today and be sure I am not doing something stupid to reintroduce the problem.
Solution (I Guess)
Not sure why sending SMS didn't fail altogether. Probably doesn't say much for the carriers in Thailand, but that is a continuing and different story.
Using a couple phones and multiple SIMs, I finally decided to look at the settings on another SIM, same carrier. The SMS Message Center property was not set on mine but had a number in the other SIM on another phone. Adding the number fixed the problem with GoSMS. Not sure why it works in the Touchwiz SMS app without the property, but oh well. Not even sure how I 'lost' it.
Thanks for the help anyway.

I have an unlocked Galaxy S2 running stock Gingerbread (2.3.4), unrooted. A problem has arisen whereby I can no longer send SMS's to one of my contacts (it has never been a problem before). I've tried deleting all previous message threads with that contact, but it didn't help. I then tried deleting the contact and sending an SMS to her number. The message was sent, but when I got a reply I was unable to reply to it. The reply also picked up the other person's name from somewhere, even though I'd deleted the contact from both the phone and my Gmail account.
I've tried both Handcent and the stock messaging app, and neither is able to send an SMS to this person. Other contacts are fine.
Can anyone suggest a fix?

it could be a problem in your network.. i had experienced that before, i tried flashing different firmwares and etc but it still didn't fix the problem.. so might as well call you network provider.
or you could also try to reset to factory settings/wipe data or better yet flash a new firmware
Hi
I too haven't had this problem but a similar one where I can't access contacts on sum card. I think if you have had your phone rooted.and installed ics or another rom it formats it slightly different i think because when I installed the aroma rom I had on when I saved the contacts I could see them but when I switched roms they disappeared. Not sure this answers all your question but might explain why her name popped up after you deleted it. Try installing a simcard viewer I tried this as my next solution and was able to see prior contacts there is one somewhere with no permissions I think.
Hope I helped
The same problem has occured on my Galaxy SII: After the SMS-thread from one contact got deleted I can't send SMS to her, I get status "failed" and under message details it says "Error code 1", I receicve messages from her but can't answer them, however an MMS with a picture got sent yesterday.
Has anyone with similar problems found an answer?
I eventually flashed new firmware: Stock ICS via Kies (4.0.4). Still can't send an SMS to the contact though. Has anyone else resolved this yet?
So i want a quick reply feature for SMS. I'm aware there is already a lot of threads on this. Its just that I cant get any of them to work. I'm rooted and still running TW, I have Xposed installed, but I think the problem might be that I deleted the stock messaging app because I hated it so much and was happy with Hangouts. I ran into some bootloop troubles and did a factory reset via safestrap and after that my stock app magically reappeared. Before this trouble I was using floating texts and it worked great, now any SMS client I try either gives me a force close or simply doesn't send or receive messages. I've tried 10 plus messaging apps and none but hangouts and stock work.
Thanks!
