I'm unable to comment on a Facebook Mobile Texts or reply "like" to a status via my facebook text. Example if I get a text from 358336 and it reads Pat is feeling good. If I text "like" to like that status it will not send it to 358336 it will send it to 358337 private message to the user inbox. Now I have tried everything to fix this even resetting my phone, flashing different roms and resetting my accounts setting on facebook still I cant reply to any texts from facebook.
Has anyone one else had this happen to them and if so, How did you fix it.
Happens to me too. That's an issue with Facebooks text service, not android or Eris so I don't think there's a way to fix it.

So is it still happening to you or did it just stop
Last I checked it was still doing that, after a few ppl on fbook told me I sent status comments to their inbox, so I got pissed and turned of texts alerts lol. Their text service has NEVER worked well for me, even on my old prepaid Samsung u350 (or whatever its called lol). I would set times I wanted texts, and would still get em all hours, I would sign up for friends, and only get a few, and worst of all when I had it set to NOT send me texts when I was online... I'd get em. So yea, their fault, their problem, and haven't seen any improvment in two years. I just stopped using it.

My wife and I both grabbed new S2's on Sunday. Since then when text each other our messages often come through as emails, and the from number is often in a weird format. This is irregular, and I have found no solution. I have called and gone int he store, and neither avenue has given me any form of solution.
This only happens when my wife and I send each other messages. Messages are absolutely fine with everyone else.
Here is an example, I will create a new message to "Jessica" I will send the message. That message will likely show up on her phone in proper SMS format from me. She will reply, I usually receive that one fine as well. I then reply back, this time the message has switched into a strange email syntax type format. It will also show up as a new thread from my cell number @txt.att.net instead of from my cell number or contact name. Often instead of it coming through as the above example the number will change into a different number all together, 1410000021 which in no way resembles our actual numbers.
It doesn't matter if I initiate the conversation or it she does. We have cleared all message threads, history, and contact information attempting to flush out errors. We have tried other SMS apps, such as Handcent, still no luck. I have also tried a different SMSC number.
Any suggestions?
Try a factory reset?
Stock rom? Rooted?

we have not done a factory reset, we are new to android, if we did that would we lose all of our contacts, media, and installed apps?
They are both stock.

Do you have AT&T's new-ish (at least to me it is, had never heard of it till i got my SGS2) messages app, that incorporates all your phone calls, texts, voicemails into one app? It uses MMS to send you transcribed voicemail in a visual voicemail type layout. I haven't played with it myself, but my wife is using it (on her sgs2). I'm wondering if it could be a setting in there somewhere that is triggering duplicate messages?? My wife isn't getting duplicates, but just tossing it out there....
I don't believe we have the messaging app you mention. I am not sure though as we are new to Android so I am unable to know if this is the newish app. It does not have voice-mail included in it though. We have tried using both the stock app and Handcent, neither fix the solution. Also, its not duplicates we are receiving, we are only getting one copy of each message, they are just showing up as emails.
Hey,
I'm having an issue and I'm not sure how to debug or where to seek for solution. Sender told me, that she sent me two messages, received reports, but I had received none. This is really hard to pick out, because if sender gots the report then he usually dont send the message again or tell me about it, unless it was an important message. I just installed Ghostly SMS app, but I'm not sure if it is the case, as my SGS should not be missing of ram, and I wasn't doing anything that would be using ram excessively (probably phone was just at the pocket at this time).
Any ideas how to find the source of such behaviour? My sim card is new, and I'm running omega v43.1 with stock kernel.
Thanks
Usually that is caused by your or the sender's network provider and not one of your device's.
I always notice it wheo sending from Germany to Luxembourg. I get SMS' like 8 hours later (if ever) but sender almost immediately gets the notification.

Problem is that I'm not using a lot of sms so it is difficult to catch some regularities in such behaviour. But maybe there is something for which I could look in logcat?
If it's caused by your provider as I suspect then your device does not get the sms. Unless you have access to your provider's logs you can't read them.
I've had people call me on sim cards that were not in a device and have it ring through or Sms that were "received" by devices which were not powerd on for months. So yeah =)

Ok, ghostly SMS just managed to restore 2 messages which didn't show in default messaging app. That makes me sure, that the phone actually receives these messages, so it's not the fault of the provider or sim card.
These 2 messages were received in a different time. After I noticed first one missing, I texted the sender to ask if she wrote me anything else, but she didn't and her answer was also received as a ghost sms. No huge resource consumming apps were running at this point - phone was on the desk with nothing running and screen turned off.
You could try a non-stock Sms app with a priority receiver, such as Go sms.

Thanks, will give it a shot. But do you think that I should keep the default sms app? There's an option in go sms pro that it can handle messages if the stock app is uninstalled - I could do this using titanium backup or something and restore it in case of problems.
Ok, I did two things:
1. Tried installing Go sms pro along with stock message app - problem still occurs.
2. Tried uninstalling stock sms app and making go sms pro the only app which has to handle sms sending-receiving. But honestly I'm not sure about the results... First because ghostly sms is not working in such scenario, so I had no feedback from this app. Second is that nobody told me that I missed some messages and didn't answer.
So I'm stuck again and have no idea what to do. It happens on different network trans-receivers (I mean its not location dependent), also it is not sender-dependend (I miss even spam messages) and it's not sim-related because I had my sim changed. I believe that there must be something with the stock sms app, otherwise there wouldn't be apps like ghostly sms.
I have had similar issues chronically. Likewise found ghostly sms has received some that stock didn't receive.
In past I have found Go did no better. However, I have not rooted and did not remove stock app.
Among "power but non-root users", I don't think of myself as having lots of apps, but compared to more "normal" users, it is a lot. So I suspect that like me, you may encounter more memory issues than you are aware. I regularly run: facebook, fb messenger, accuweather, hacker keyboard, nitro touchdown, stock email (couple accounts), mypod, xabber, business calendar, stock browser.
Another observation though is the bloat that occurs in the messages database. I receive probably 20-50 messages each day that I can quickly delete (from automated monitor system). If I go to settings -> applications -> all, then I can see data and cache size for Messages is perhaps several MB. Clearing these, I then open Messages and it apparently rebuilds the database, as data size now quite reasonable. No messages lost. If I also reboot, it may send messages that it apparently thinks were not successful (sometimes it is correct, sometimes recipient reports it is a duplicate). However, after this, message delivery seems more reliable for a while.
Now, it doesn't take long for the unreliability to return, at least not 100%, so I will continue running ghostly. But with the occasional rebuild, I no longer have the situation where it seems I am losing most of my incoming, which I have seen.
So, it would seem that the messaging database can get corrupt or performance becomes so poor that it is effectively corrupt.
YMMV, obviously, but hopefully these observations help someone find the real problem. This is a very annoying and serious issue.

Hey,
I've almost forgot about this thread. I managed to deal with the problem by removing V6 supercharger script from the Omega rom which I use and it seems that for a few weeks now I havent lost any message.
However in your case this must be something different. In information about messaging app I have that the app takes 4.17MB, Data takes 16kB and cache is 0B. Version of my messaging app is reported as 4.1.2.-I9300XXELLC

I'm using Omega rom too and I have the same problem. I got all SMS with Ghostly SMS. I notice the problem appear after doing a Nandroid restore or Omega upgrade without full wipe. I will now remove supercharge to see what happen.

I tried the same thing (Clear data) for the SMS app didn't help.
Ghostly SMS work.
Like I just mention I will try to disable supercharge to see what happen.
As the title states, I'm having problems with tango verifying my phone number through sms.
Heres what happens, I download the app and put in my info including email and it states that I need to verify my phone number with a sms message it will send. So I hit the SEND button and I get nothing! I've tried this both with a stock phone and with a trickdroid one and both fail to receive message.
I've looked on tango site and it states that android will automatically intercept the message and verify my account which is not happening. Is anyone else having this same issue too?
Thanks,
Tim
anyone care to do an quick download and test tango out for me???
It installed just fine for me and even picked up my old call logs from a couple of years ago. It didn't require a verification of my number though, or at least it didn't say it did.
I'm completely stock, though, so I don't know if that makes a difference.

Are you using a 3rd party SMS app?
I have had cm11 installed for several months. I cannot receive messages from Iphones in a group message. All other messages are fine from all other phones. If someone with an iphone sends me a direct message I receive it. However if I am in a group message with iphones thier messages are blank. Does anyone know how I can fix this.
I am running the most recent CM11 nightly. I was always able to get MMS from Iphones on stock. Since rooting and installing CM11 I cannot receive group messages from Iphones. It just comes in as a blank message.
My data is on. I have tried adjusting VPN settings (although maybe incorrectly). I would have posted this in the Official CM11 thread but I dont have enough post. I have been on the site for years I just read and never post.

Just out of Curiosity what SMS app are you using? If you're using the Default app do you have group messaging clicked in the settings menu?
I use the default messaging app. I installed others but it was the same
