Hey guys. I'm having a little big problem with messaging on the Vibrant.
When I send SMS to someone, it only sends half of it and some weird square symbols.
Let me try to explain. I'm on threaded view on the Messaging app, and it shows the balloon with the message and "more...". I can click there to read the full message.
The issue is, the person I sent it will only receive the SMS up to that point, followed by some weird squares. I believe it shows this when i try to write more than 80 ~ 85 characters, way lower than the usual 160 limit for SMS. I don't get the More... for incoming SMS, and I receive them full. It only cuts in half the ones I send.
I was on stock ROM, upgraded to JI6 to see if it was fixed but still getting the same issue.
Any ideas why I'm getting this? It's so weird...
Thanks for your attention!
EDIT: As a friend advised me, changing the alphabet to GSM instead of Unicode fixed it. Thanks anyway!
Whenever I restart my Atrix, I receive a notification that I have 6 unread sms messages even though I have read all my sms messages. I am using Handcent.
Can anyone shed some light on why this is happening and if there is anything I can do to fix this annoyance?
Thanks.
May want to disable notifications and auto-retrieve in the native SMS app.
Try that and see if it helps
I have sms issue.
I am using the original SMS app that is builtin the samsung galaxy s3.
Sometimes when I open a message, it keeps switching between message by itself and between home screen and sms app again. It just keep switching between sms messages showing random sms but only most recent.
Anybody knows why and how to fix that?
Struggling with a recent problem.
Using omega 43.3... I've no idea if that is the problem or not, but can't remember it happening before that (was omega 30ish before)
When I receive an SMS (using Handcent as default), the notification shows and if I click on it, it takes me to the Handcent threaded screen. However, if I then close that and it opens the default window (with all the contacts sms listed) it isn't there. If I then close Handcent, and then reopen it, it is?!
The same thing is happening with Call Log... Missed calls etc aren't showing when I access them from the dropdown menu... unless I then close the Call Log app and then go back into it.
I've tried various kernels and modems, and also tried reinstalling handcent, wiping cache/dalvic, fixing permissions etc. Nothing seems to make a difference. Currently on stock modem and kernel

I had this problem on JB 4.3 stock samsung sm-n7505 and after zillion read pages about it and rebooting and removing battery and sim and after I deleted entire contact list (by mistake) it turned out that it was the most idiotic problem you can ever think of.
While was in the tight pocket phone unlocked somehow(using pattern) and simply unchecked box (which is deep in the menu) "use network provided time/date" and date was set to a date 5 days earlier. So, all logs and messages were actually in the phone(I could see them in notifications and could send messages and calls), only I did not see them because they were back in the list in the place of 5 days ago. I just checked the damn box and everything was normal again(except my contact list (( ) Crazy. Hope my small contribution will help somebody. Rock on!!!! :good:
I have now had my M9 for 2 days. As with my M8 on 5.0.2, texting seems to restart frequently. There is a delay on incoming messages and every time you start the app it seems to reload messages.
When you start the app the contacts appear but when you go to a contact the messages area is blank, the timing circle appears and many seconds later the messages appear. New messages may or may not appear for an even longer period.
After several texts you get either am 'Messages is Restarting' message or now I am getting an error report and a request to send data . . . .
This same thing that happened when my M8 upgraded to 5.0.2
Has anyone had the same problem or found a resolution . . .
I am not having that issue, but I am using GO SMS Pro and not stock messaging. Have you tried other messaging?
