[Q] sms problem - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I have a stock note 2, rooted with exynos abuse. I'm also using the stock messaging app. I can only send text that are short (3-4 words) and I can't use punctuation. If i do, it causes the message to fail. Any thoughts on what could have caused this problem, or how to fix it? I have tried removing an reinserting the sim, and I have also removed any apps that I thought might cause a conflict with the stock messaging app.. Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated..

If you download and use a 3rd party app such as Handcent or GoSMS does it do the same thing?

Duplicate sent SMS with Handcent/GoSMS in LPQ ? (not in LPH)

I upgraded to XXLPQ (polish) from XXLPH yesterday.
I'm now seeing duplicate (2, somebody said 3) SMS's sent to a recipient for each one I send.
Received texts aren't duplicated
Only goSMS (or handcent) is set to notify
"stock" SMS app does NOT lead to duplicates
This didn't happen in XXLPH
Wanted to check if anyone else has this issue? Next step is probably clearing SMS data or indeed a full wipe
I got the same situation here. Everything Ok with stock messaging, but with Go Sms Pro, it duplicate sms >.< Looking for solution !!
Yep, same here, though i updated from gingerbread not from an ics beta.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Same here, guess its an App issue then?

It seems more likely to be an issue with the firmware. As it affects all 3rd party SMS apps. Pretty sure there aren't issues on the nexus so possible not a general ics issue?

I have the same issue but I'm also not getting contact pictures in any third party apps.. not in Go contacts, Go SMS, Handcent, Whatsapp.
Tried them all and I get nowt but the stock app gets the pictures perfectly. I've removed and re-added accounts a number of times but giving up now unless someone knows of a way around it.
Same problem
I'm also getting the same problem.
Did a full wipe before installing the ROM
Did not restore settings for go sms, but did restore my messages
I have also tried freezing messaging in titanium backup and disabling messaging in the settings. Neither seams to work.
Has anyone had any success with fixing this?
I am also facing this problem. First i thought this might be due to GO Sms . I uninstalled GO SMS and installed Handcent_SMS .. Same problem there
Sending duplicate messages (GO SMS and Handcent)
Not showing contact pictures in messages list (GO SMS and Handcent)
Anyone got the solution ???
Not sure, seems strange!
Possibly a Firmware issue, maybe a App issue
We shall see what other ssay!
same problem here
report the issue to the devs
did so for handset via email [email protected]
supply phone info
software info
and if possible logcat
Chainfire Kernel not to blame
I still have the problem after reverting to the stock kernel (3.0.15-I900XXLPQ-CL223505 [email protected] #3)
I was hoping that reverting back to stock kernel would fix it, but that is sadly not the case.
At least we know that it's not the chainfire kernel causing it
Same problem here (with Go SMS and browsertexting).
I have emailed both devs, I would suggest everyone sending emails to the app devs to hurry things along
Strikes me as something that has changed within the firmware from Samsung,
Gingerbread Roms (Official and cooked) never caused the issue for me whilst using Go SMS its like something within the ICS firmware is refusing third part apps access to the facebook contact photos.. or maybe its something within the Facebook app that's blocking third party stuff.
default sms app is giving me issues with sms ringtones not working
Hey all,
I updated to I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar
and getting the same, default messaging app is fine, but when I have any other messaging app installed all my messages are being sent twice. I have tested this with Go SMS and Handcent, so to me sounds more like a Samsung problem.
Back to using the default app for the moment so...

No point in doing that. As this happen with all 3rd party messaging app, it is clearly a firmware issue.
It's definitely not an ICS issue otherwise the GNexus would be affected as well.

It's definitely a firmware issue but app devs maybe able to fix or work around the issue faster then it takes Samsung to correct it. Can't hurt
Pretty big bug for Samsung to cause between previous leak and LPQ and not notice
Do we have any contacts at Samsung we can report this to? Maybe someone can contact the great CyanogenMod creator who now works at Samsung to put in a small word lol

Hi everybody!
I'm also affected by the double sms bug.
I also tried to freeze the stock messaging app with titanium, BUT, now, I can't unfreeze it... have someone the same problem? have someone a solution?
titanium tell the app have been unfreeze, but it don't. I've tried several unfreezing app, with no more success.
If there's no solution, can i flash again LPQ with Odin to resolve this mess?
Thank you!
What Rom's are we all using?
Am i right in thinking there is more than one regional variation of ICS out at the moment? Does it happen on all variations or just one?
ROM: WanamLite 9.3
Network: O2-UK
App: GOSMS

[Q] texting app crapware

Hi,
Please tell me how to get rid of the god-awful slow texting app that comes with this phone, and replace it with the stock android texting app.
Thanks!
Are you referring to the AT&T messages app? 'Cause the SMS app that comes stock works fine for me :/
Stock messages app works fine for me. If you have root you may be able to find differnt message apps, but my first suggestion is to give handcent a try as it is my go to sms app for when I'm having issues with cusom ROMs being buggy with mms. Its got a threaded look to it, much like iphone.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmhhbmRjZW50Lm5leHRzbXMiXQ..
It also has font packs and other stuff on the app store.

I far prefer GO SMS Pro, love the interface and features, but with all the third-party SMS apps I have an issue of double and triple texts being sent to people. I agree the Samsung SMS app is painfully slow. I hate using it, but it's my only choice because it doesn't send out duplicate texts. :/

Thats very odd, I've never got complaint of this. Have you googled the issue to see if there is a known solution or work around? As common as these apps are you can't possibly be the only one misfortunate enough to experience this. I have had issues in the past getting numerous notifications despite turning native notifications off for SMS, but thats an entirely different issue.
How do i replace the Samsung message app with the vanilla android one? The Samsung one is slow and is a failed attempt at copying iphone. The keyboard even blocks the send button!

Google is your friend to find an mms.apk. you need to be rooted. And have root explorer and a little knowledge

Mostly I see people on ICS complaining about this issue, but there are several people on GB complaining about it as well, for both GO SMS and Handcent and a few others on Google Play.
I had the duplicate notification issue with Handcent - even though I had disabled notifications for the stock app AND frozen it. Didn't have that problem with GO SMS. Had an odd problem when I tried Chomp SMS, where all incoming messages were anonymous and upon trying to view them, the message couldn't be found. That even happened in the stock app, so long as I had Chomp installed. Uninstalling fixed that issue immediately.
But so far as I can tell, some people just have the problem, and most don't. I have yet to see a reply from any of the devs about the issue. I've tried completely resetting the phone to factory spec but I still got the duplicate message issue.
I really, REALLY want to use GO SMS. Although something else I noticed is that some people's messages were being sent to the wrong contacts... Perhaps I'll try the vanilla Android apk...
How do you try the vanilla android apk?

This is the ics messenger app, you can try it without needing root.

Thanks but I don't really want a third party version with ads. I don't get it...isn't there a plain messaging app that comes with android (like what was on the nexus one), or is it proprietary to every device? It seems like this shouldn't be such a difficult thing to install instead of the crappy samsung one. Am I missing something?
i'm surprised. the sms app is not bad i'm the note. I've seen worse. (though i am using the rogers version)
I'm coming from a rooted Inspire 4G (cyanogen) and I've noticed that the texting on the Samsung Messaging app is a bit sluggish. And some keys don't respond to my fast fingers.. Yet the app itself runs very fast (ie open app, open threads, go back, etc).
One thing I did was uninstall Swype through Titanium and I think I've noticed a difference in the keyboard speed. It may just be my imagination though

[Q] Text messages over 160 characters converted to MMS

I'm on the stock 407 with my dell streak. Basically when on the stock messaging app, when a text message exceeds 160 characters it is converted to MMS. I have been using third party apps but I really prefer the default. My streak is rooted, and I was wondering if anyone knew a way to stop my text messages being converted to mms?
search in the setting that called as SMS Split or something similar...
sms split will auto split any message above 160 character... and therefore avoiding sms to mms conversion..

Where do I need to look for SMS split? In superuser? Sorry I'm new at this.
open your messaging application and then press the streak hardware middle button... it should show Settings or something similar...

As I stated above, that setting does not appear and if you actually read the post you'd know I'm using the default messaging app.
I was referring to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423340 that someone suggested.
It tells you to change some system files, I've tried ES file explorer but it only lets me access my SD card.
ok... sorry for the trouble...

SMS issue
I have a Streakk 5 running Stock 360, rooted with a few tweaks and I have no problems sending long txt's or pics. I have tried multiple Gingerbread rom's and I have foung the split SMS option in some, but all of them require me to have my data on to send or recieve pics. I have a limited data package and was hoping someone knows of how to change settings or of an app that will allow me to send and recieve pics without data on.

MAPSamsungService keeps failing

MAPSamsungService keeps failing. This happens when I'm in Go SMS a lot. Anybody know how to address this? It's a pain because it slows messaging down for me.

I think it happens for anyone who has used an app to restore your SMS/MMS.
Just never use the stock Messaging app. And in Go SMS, go into the settings, choose 'Important Tips', and check 'Stock SMS uninstalled'. That should fix it.
Do you know the name of the Samsung Messaging apk, so that I can freeze it?

[Q] Uninstalled stock messaging app - how to restore SMS functionality?

I know there are quite a few similar threads, but since they are all fairly device specific, I though I'd try my luck with a new one.
I have a rooted LG Optimus L1 ii, running the stock 4.1 ROM that came with it, from which I uninstalled the stock messaging app after installing Hangouts. As you might have guessed I was unaware that the stock messaging app contains the basic messaging capabilities and all other apps rely on this, so now I'm trying to somehow regain the ability to send and receive SMS.
I have tried installing Handcent, GoSMS, and an app called "Android 4.1 JB Messaging SMS", which claims to be the stock messaging app for JellyBean, all of it to no avail.
Therefore my question is, on a very fundamental level, what are the parts of the Android OS that are required for SMS and that I evidently destroyed? Can I get "generic" stock versions of the necessary apks or do they have to be specific to my phone model?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

1) It's not easy to decrypt stock LG firmware for that. Would be easier to download a stock based rom and grab it from there.
2) It's not that simple, you have to set permissions for system apps as well.
To OP: Go SMS should work fine. You just need to go into the advance settings and make sure it's checked off to be your standalone messaging system and there is an option to add your own MMS settings, which should be all you need.
Many other texting apps have custom settings for MMS options too. Hello SMS, Go SMS, ChompSMS, Handcent, Textra, Slide Messaging, and Evolve SMS all do if I remember right.
Edit: Sorry, can't read. I thought you were having MMS issues, not SMS. But yea, that's odd. You don't normally need the stock Messaging app anymore to send SMS.
You might have to reinstall your entire OS. Gotta make sure you know what system version you are on as they are slight differences between the carriers and regions the phone was sold from.

Pray tell how you would download the firmware and pull the messaging app from it? It helps to know what that entails before you suggest it. And the OP mentioned he did not delete it till after he installed Hangouts, which is not TOTALLY crazy. Hindsight 20/20, freezing it would have been better, but we're all learning. I typically uninstall the stock messaging app on any phone that I've used and have never had an issue like this.

I ended up going with the first suggestion in this thread and re-installed the original firmware. Slightly annoying, but there was no way around it with other apps and certainly trying to extract just the messaging app out of the stock ROM is more complicated and uncertain than this.
