SMS Timestamp error - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

I'm on the mobile app and haven't had any luck searching this.
I'm running Beans deodexed zip aligned ROM on Verizon and rooted with route66.
I just noticed I have to good ole timestamp bug in my sms app where it reads December 17 1969 for all incoming messages. I tried the apps on the play store that are supposed to fix it with no luck.
Anyone have any ideas?

[Q] Can't send a sms with other apps

Got this weird problem since this morning.
I can't send a sms to others with handcent or Go sms pro (and probably other apps). The only one working now is the standard Samsung sms app.
I CAN receive them in handcent en go pro but CANNOT send. Failing to deliver the message. When I open the samsung app he's still marked as failed, but retrying it in samsungs app it WILL send. Retrying with others will get a failed notification.
Somebody got an answer or a solution for this?
Thanks in advanced!

kernel: siyah 2.6
are you using some kind of security app that blocks permissions (like LBE Privacy Guard)? this could be the reason...
No, don't have any apps like that. Happened overnight. Maybe fresh rom install is the answer.

Phantom voice mail / 9016 texts

For the past few years, I've suffered with a lot of you through this issue. After applying fixes that didn't work, I finally stumbled onto something with my EVO LTE. Root Call Blocker has a hand in this. After disabling it, my VVM worked as it should (stock ROM).
Just a heads up...

Sprint VVM fix
I search and searched for a fix to receiving the phantom VM messages coming to my phone when I got a VM. I did an uninstall of the Vm app and re-install. Changed Roms, You name it. Now after all that I am smaking myself in the face.
To resolve the issue
Go to your VoiclMail app
Click on Compose
Click record and then Stop
I then went to share the message, but did not need to. The system recomized what I was doing and synced my messages to the VM application instead of the SMS message I got the Visual messages. YAY!!!!!
Wanted to share this, i hope this helps anyone searching for a Sprint VM solution.
Thanks

[Q] JB Google MMS not threading

I'm currently using the Omega 26.1 build and love it.
The only thing is I hate the Samsung text/MMS app and wanted to replace it with the standard Google app now that Indie has released the JBKitchen app.
When I remove then replace the Samsung app texts from contacts aren't threading. My replies show in the individual messages but the replies from the contact come through as a new thread. If I switch back to the Samsung app they are all threaded as you would expect. This issue didn't happen when I was using the ICS rom as I could replace the app fine.
I've tried searching for this problem and although similar issues come up a fix doesn't seem to be evident.
Does anyone know about this issue and how to fix it?

Animated gifs in MMS

Has anyone else noticed animated gifs via MMS not working when someone sends you one? My friends and I like to use them as quick responses and they're getting mine just fine but theirs comes through as a still. Despite opening the gif in Gallery or QuickPic, the gif appears to be broken. Also, it doesn't seem to matter which text app I use. Stock, Hangouts, or even Verizon Messaging shows all animated gifs broken. In case you're wondering, I use Hangouts primarily because it shows the gifs animated in-line. I'm also not rooted and I have no interested in rooting until after I've played around with the Lollipop update (whenever that happens).
Here are some things that I've noticed:
(1) It started happening when I got 12B
(2) A factory reset doesn't solve the problem
(3) Hangouts <-> Hangouts shows animated gifs properly but MMS -> Hangouts is broken
(4) People are still receiving my gifs animated
So what's going on? Is anyone else having this problem? Is it a Verizon issue?
Any suggestions, help, info, whatever would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Update
I installed Textra and it appears to be handling animated gifs no problem. But... this still doesn't explain why they don't work in any of the 3 SMS/MMS apps that come with the G3. Problem solved for now but it's really more of a bandaid than a true fix.
Hmm must not be a Verizon issue since Textra works. Shame we can't just blame them. Gifs play in Hangouts for me in-line as you described with 12b. There were some cases on google forums where clearing Hangout app/cache, uninstalling Hangouts, reboot, and reinstalling Hangouts worked for some but I don't think you can do that unrooted. Plus you have already factory reset anyways. I'm assuming your Hangouts is up to date.
On a side note, after taking the LP update you might no longer have the choice to root if they block rolling back to 10b which I'd say is highly likely. Best to unlock bootloader now. Within days of release the devs will release the LP OTA in a flashable zip. Just my two cents.

Could you share your settings? I'm still unable to get gifs to work in Textra. I'm using a G3 on Verizon.

I haven't touched the settings other than what it automatically took care of. It was weird, though, last night I suddenly stopped receiving texts in a timely manner so I uninstalled Textra and reinstalled it. Problem solved and it was working again. Have you tried that?
The first time I installed Textra on my L3 (I used it religiously on my old rooted HTC Evo3D) I was on one of the previous builds like 10 or something and it seemed to break texting entirely. All texts that I sent stayed in "sending" limbo while I wouldn't receive texts from anyone else. Even uninstalling Textra didn't fix the problem so I had to do a factory reset to get texting back. It has only been since gifs broke in stock/Hangouts that I even decided to install Textra again. I'm on 12B and now it works fine for me but I have no idea why.
I actually just realized that you can access a giphy library from within textra. I was trying to save gifs from chrome and attach but that didn't work. But using the gifs from within textra worked perfectly. I did change my MMS proxy port to 80 based on something I read on androidcentral, but I'm not sure that's necessary.

Update - that didn't last long
Textra has decided to spontaneously stop allowing me to send animated gifs larger than 2mb. I've gone into the MMS settings and changed the sending settings to "no limit" and it's still rejecting the send. Odd, it worked just fine up until a couple of days ago.
Trying other texting apps allows me to send large gifs but still received animated gifs are still broken. I'm getting really tired of this the reps at my local Verizon store are idiots.

Voicemail with Paranoid Android?

I installed Paranoid Android 4.6 Beta 6 (4.4.4) on my LG G3 and I can't figure out how to check my voicemail at ALL. I get no notifications for voicemails at all. When I call my own phone number, which I thought was supposed to send me to my voicemail inbox, I just get my recording and the option to leave a message. Was I supposed to install a third party app to be able to check voicemail? Can somebody help me figure out how I can access the old messages and any future messages? Help please!

usually, when voicemail cant interact with your device (on custom roms) you should get a weird text msg when a vm comes in.
just dial *86 to retrieve it. or you could get google voice and have it intercept your voicemails. i just got it yesterday, but it seems nice, and you can make calls and text from it for free.
there is no official vzw app that will work with non stock roms that im aware of.
we may be able to pull the vvm app off the n6, but i havent seen that confirmed working yet.
