I have used handscent sms and quikpic for over a year now on previous phones without issue. However now on my GS3, I have gotten random pictures that will not load. The preview picture is in the handscent window, but when pressed they say "load failed". If I save the file to my sd card and then open it in quikpic it will open without issue. Anyone else had anything like this happen? Any fixes? Doesn't happen every time but it sure is annoying.
Happens every time with GO SMS here. Gallery opens them up fine for the time being.
So I emailed the people at Quickpic and they looked at my logs and determined the issue was with a security bug in handcent. I sent that information over to handcent. they emailed me back and said they had an update coming in the next day that should fix the problem.

Go SMS hasn't been updated in over a month and just went on their site to look for any updates. A few SGS3 users on their report issues like this and LED. Hopefully theirs a new one coming out soon, it used to be once a week.
well sounds like handcent will be working this out soon. so you may want to switch over.

I agree DCD, and I'm sure a lot of others do too. Post here or somewhere else. If you go somewhere else, leave us some breadcrumbs so we can find you.
I gave it a try, seems to run well. About 23meg on start up. Anyone else?
same here 23 mb on start up - with app. s2u2, GPS, TomTom, call calendar, s2p,and more .....
runs smoth ...thanks DCD
Gonna try this NOW....
SDAutoRun issue?
has anyone else had a problem with UC? this rom seems awesome 27.32mb on clean boot, but UC seems to hang and isnt installing anything. anyone else?
EDIT: nevermind. 1 damn symbol missing from my code.
I'm using this rom now and I don't have any problems yet. I'll post updates if I do.
same here. loving it so far
Were the vouge dialers calc and comm manager removed? They seemed to be when I flashed...
I also had a HUGE text msg problem where it tried to (and did) resend a TON of my unsuccessful texts and from months back...this was just after I did a simple restore with Pim Backup, it never happened on any other release.
My free mem was also less than 3.3.4, and 3.3.4 has 48.25 total whereas 4.1 only has 47.45MB total.
So, I'm still rocking 3.3.4 and loving it. I'll wait till DCD officially releases it as sometimes, he just posts things up there as beta tests for friends.
so heres a new one. my phone just HARD RESET itself. i noticed my text messages didnt have contacts anymore, tried opening my contacts and it said it oculdnt be found. i opened resco explorer to restore my contacts, and it said it couldnt be found. i soft reset the phone and it loaded the calibration screen and went through UC again. ****.
Text messages that have been read show up as NOT being read. I'm using Manila 2d, so I have to scroll through them a few times and they will finally be marked at read. Pretty annoying. I had to flash back to 3.3.4.
Neurom3 did that same thing, plus battery life with Neurom3 is horrible.
I don't see any problems with text messages, I don't see why people are complaining.
a) no one is complaining. just reporting
b) the problem is, every text message must basically be selected in order to save it as read. if you get 2 txts at the same time from 1 person, and open it, the 1st txt received will stay in bold us unread, unless you scroll up with the pad, passed the second text, and let the cursor land on or go above the contact's name. so this also means that if you have a pretty old text message that you never selected, you either have to delete the chain, or scroll up through pages to find your 1 unread text.

Hmm, I haven't that problem really, though maybe I just automatically do that. But I have BAD (black hole) reception at my house so if I try and send a text it usually says message not sent, click to try again. So it's never automatically resent texts and this time it was apparently successful sending 50 texts over hours of time - which I didn't know about.
I tried his one from Dec25th but it had the new IE app which I didn't like since I use lots of websites that work nice and fast with older pocket IE. The dialer and connection manager skins were also ugly. Haven't seen those in a long time...
After I flashed the new 4.1.0 ROM, everything seemed to be fine except the number 1 button on the dialer keypad disappeared. Has anyone experienced that? Is there a solution for the problem?
Ok first of all, hi ! Yes im the latest annoying newbie but I will try to keep my annoying questions to as few posts as possible.
Ok so the Galaxy S 2. My dear god I love this phone but sweet Jesus its driving me crazy ! It seems that to use a smartphone today you need to be a member of forums such as these or a degree in techstuffthatjustsoundslikenonsensetome.
For the life of me I cant believe modern smartphones do not come with a manual. I remember my old nokias of a decade ago came with small books to guide you through what was basically calling and texting ! These days...nothing and the manual from Samsung is hardly any better than the 'leaflet' that comes in the box. Anyway rant over but after exploring for days and searching on tinternet for answers I still cant solve a few issues I have with this phone so please any help would be a god send.
1. Vibration level. Is it me or is it crap ? My old 3g ( goodbye forever Apple ) could practically take me across a linoleum floor if i sat down but i just dont feel it when its in my pocket. I have it up to max but have missed every call so far !
2. Sms notifications. I have installed Go sms pro which is a great little app and i prefer it over the stock sms. However i cant stop getting sms through from the stock app as well as go sms pro ! I have uncked all available boxes in settings for the stock one but still getting them through, its driving me nuts. How can i receive texts only through go sms pro ?
3. Contact photos. Just cant sync them with facebook at all. when i try all i get is two each of the same people in my contact list, one for fb and other with phone details etc. All i want is a bleeding picture next to my contacts Am I missing something very simple or is this a good example of companies alienating the average consumer with 'harder than it needs to be' technology ?
And lastly
4. Web page autofit. So if I double tap on text it should autofit right? Well all it does is zoom in. I have tried all different settings, double tapping at different speeds etc and it works about a third of the time so I just dont know what im doing differently those times ! Do you have to tap on a specific part of the screen to auto fit or what ?
Anyway I hope your not all lighting your torches by now, I have looked for the answers ( and looked, and looked ) but to no avail and tried the suggestions from similiar questions on here but alas my love / hate relationship with this phone continues.
For many of your questions, a good old fashioned search would have turned up quite a few answers.
Just saying.
But....
This seemed to deal with your fb questions.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088385&highlight=facebook+contacts
As for question four, have a search for 'text reflow'.

Thank you for your reply. With respect, as mentioned in my op I have searched for the issues raised and read the thread you linked to however my problems persist.
Does anyone else see the vibration level as an issue ? It does seem very low to me.
Yes, the vibration issue is a big problem for me too. I'm coming from an iPhone 3GS and before that I used a Nokia E71. Both of those phones' vibration would wipe the floor with SGS 2.
When I first got it, I kept searching in the menu for a setting, but there was only one for haptic feedback strength, not notification vibration.
I'm just hoping a future firmware update will fix this or a code will be revealed where we can set vibration strength.

i think this is a bug with the SGS2.

wait so text reflow DOES work for you sometimes when you pinch to zoom, then double tap that text and it fits the screen? cause most are saying it's not working on the SGS2. but i tested the samsung infuse last night, and it does in fact work like normal. so is everyone here not performing it correctly?
what i did on infuse, load a webpage, it loads zoomed out. i pinch to zoom to a desired level, then release. text goes off the screen edge. then double tap the text i zoomed to, and it re-formats to fit the screen.
we assumed this does not work on teh SGS2.
Feeling your pain, dare I say starting to think I wish I bought a htc sensation.
Come on, the facebook issue is a joke. I dont want multiple contacts of the same contact, ok ive merged them now, and hidden other fb contacts. That is until I want to send a txt, whoa they are all there again.
Sign out of fb, merged contacts disappear.
I just took this stuff for granted on my aging htc topaz.
Can't get any 3rd party launcher to display photo wallpaper properly.
Reader hub, sns etc, what a load of...
Page rendering/text reflow, taken for granted.
Hotmail, can't sync junk folder unless using exchange, which only downloads first part of email, click to load more.
Could go on.

Thank s for the replies, at least im not being a noob when it comes to these issues. its actually a relief ti know its software bugs and not me !
As for the double tap method i can confirm it DOES sometimes work to autofit the text. that is why i was getting frustrated when most times it does not work. i thought i was tapping a different part of the screen or some thing. i double tap in and out about six or seven times and then it will suddenly autofit.
im really hoping they sort the message notification bug out. as for Facebook i spent an hour earlier saving pics from fb, tra nsferring them ti my ohone and then adding my contacts pics one by one. pain in the arse but its done now.
typing this on my s2 has reminded me of another annoyance. the bloody full stop being so close to the space key i always have about 6 full stops in every sentence.

Better keyboard. Just get it. Or multi-lingual keyboard. Either will solve that problem
not sure why someone mentioned the "double SMS notifications" is a bug because it clearly IS NOT
you just have to go into the STOCK MESSAGING app, go to settings and UNCHECK "Notifications" (its at the very bottom of the settings)
I have Go SMS pro installed as well and only get ONE notification from SMS pro when i get a SMS - none from the stock messaging.
If the notification box is checked in the STOCK messaging app then you will get a notifcation from both the stock app and goSMSpro
I think it was very difficult to fit a bigger vibration motor in a smart-phone so thin like SGS2.
I guess we will have to live with it as is.

I can assure you that setting is unchecked. It was the first thing i did. I'm not the only one with this bug
I know there was a reported issue last week with gmail that was a back end issue and since been resolved (I thought?), but on my ATP, very frequently now when I open gmail, it will dump back out to the home launcher on its own after a few seconds. No FC that I can tell.
And it seems like if I open it back up and try to select a message when this happens, it will happen every time unless I open up recent tasks and swipe away gmail. But it crops back up shortly, so it's getting very frustrating. Anyone else seeing this or know what to do?
Thanks.

Hi, I don't know if anyone here uses ChompSMS in place of the stock messaging app. I use it so I can use emojis. Okay, onto my question. Every time I take a picture, ChompSMS force closes on me. Anyone else have this problem/know of a fix?
I noticed this issue with a lot of applications out there.
I think its due to a compatibility issue. Since the Note 2 is still new to verizon. I expect to see a update to said applications here shortly.
My GF updated to 4.2.2 and she is having some lag with the text messaging app. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have the same Issue. cleared all txt msgs, once I get about 10 msgs or so in a convo it takes between 10-20 seconds to load the txt msgs. NOT to mention it takes about 20 seconds to SEND a message (MMS take even longer). I txt all the time, im quick at it, replying to a lot of ppl fast since the 4.2.2 update takes FOREVER.
I cant find a lot of people with the same issue just a few comments here or there on the stories about the update coming out.
what I did, and I don't like doing it is downloading a free SMS app. lighting fast. better then the stock. I love the phone it worked great before the update, I don't understand why it changed.
