Hello:
New to Android and the GN2. I'm using the basic Messaging and Contacts apps. A somewhat annoying issue has come up.
I start a SMS message thread using info from Contacts. At some point after the exchange of a few messages, the person's name disappears and only their phone number is in the Messaging display. It happens for all messaging threads.
All the messages are to people in Contacts and I can restart the phone and the names then reappear. Then after a few more message exchanges, the names disappear.
Am I missing something basic here?
Thanks,
Ron
Weird. I dont know crap but if it happened to me I would turn "direct call" off under the motion settings and/or clear the "messages" data under settings> apps> all apps> clear data

Every time I receive a picture in an MMS I get another message from "Anonymous" no subject. I open it and it say "message not found" I receive the message multiple times until I delete the original message. This happens in the stock messaging app and in Chomp. Uninstalled Chomp and it still happens on stock.
happens in miui on go sms too

ok first off there are like 5 of these threads open. you should seriously look around b4 posting an exact copy of a thread on the same page list! common quit being so lazy this is how these fourms become so congested and its hard to find anything at all.
This topic seems highly discussed.. please search before posting in the future.
I've been unwillingly receiving some advertisement sms which charge my account once the sms is opened.
Is there a way to delete an sms message without opening it?.
TIA
Ur best bet is figuring out how to stop the msgs in first place i think

yes, maybe some kind of code you can send to your operator/advertisement-sender which can stop the automatic messages, i know that kind of msgs sucks just find a way in google, i know different users experience that alot
You can download "SMS Popup" from the market. However you will need to manually configure it into "Privacy Mode" (or something similar). Once done, you will get a popup everytime you get a message, along with 3 options to "Open Message", "Delete" (without opening) or "Go to inbox".
I had the SMS POpup on my stock ROM but don't need it now on MIUI...
Thanks.
Are you sure it doesn't open the sms?
The android market page for this app reads:
NOTE: SMS Popup does mark message as "read"
so as far as the mobile carrier is concerned, the sms has been received & read, so it will still charge for those spam sms.
@mike,
pls refer to my previous post - the app opens the SMS by default - but once you go to settings and enable privacy mode, it won't read the msg. A message is not marked as 'Read' as long as it's in privacy mode and you don't specifically open it. (Even the LEDs will continue blinking till u don't open the message)
It's a free app, so u can download and check that out.
Thanks for the info
If your with vodafone phone the operator and they will ban the number from your sim

SMS popup is nice, but does it show a history of all the sms, like the stock sms app on A2.1 does?
Also, to avoid duplicate notifications I've unchecked the "notifications" in the stock sms app, but it no longer shows incoming messages in the messages log. is this a bug, or is this related to sms popup "hijacking" the sms?
TIA
I use a GPS service to locate my phone. The service sends a text to start the GPS lockon. Sometimes the sms disappears after being received. I can even open my message hub and watch the sms appear after being received and then quickly disappear after one second. I also receive the notifications which lead to the message hub.
I have no 3rd party sms apps. I am running Blackstar VI ROM. I've had this problem with stock ROM as well. It seems like the messages are being moved to a different location or app.... Any help?
Wrong forum. Please move to Q&A if possible.
Moved Thanks
Don't many location apps hide the incoming message so as not to alert a third you are looking for the phone via GPS?
Which app is it, you may want to look in the settings or manual for that specific app you are using.

Argg. Verizon S4, keeps telling me that I have a new message (Messaging app, sms), dated 3-24-2013. I click it, and it opens a blank New Message page to type a new text. Never goes away, comes right back after rebooting, or if I clear it, after a few minutes. The text app icon always shows a "1" as if I have a new message waiting.
Any idea how to solve this? I don't have any drafts, and I cleared the messaging cache.

I don't have a note 2 right now, but probably will soon. I have a couple of questions about the recent update. When I had the note 2 a few months back, I had something that bothered me about messaging that I wanted to find out was changed or not.
When receiving a picture message with text included in the same message, does it still show a slide show or does it now allow you to view the photo without saving it and going to the gallery to see it?
When sending and receiving group text messages, does it allow you to view all sent and received messages from everyone included in the group within the same thread, or do the messages come in sorted under the individual contact's name even if they're in your group message?

It still appears as a slideshow, it did that on my S3 and RAZR MAXX as well.
As for the group messaging I want to say it all shows up under one tab together but I may be wrong as I have only use it once.
Why is this not posted in Q&A?

I've recently noticed the slide-show thing too. Is there another messaging thingy we can install to get rid of that annoying problem? I saw that someone posted the ASOP one - does that fix this ??
