Messaging App not showing any messages....

ever since i started using Hancent SMS, my Default Messaging app doesnt show threads/messages, even when i compose one from the Messaging app, how do i fix this?
stop using hancent sms! Nah... I'm just kidding.
Check with developer (you should be able to get en email either from the app itself or from the market). It could be a known bug or an undocumented feature of the app.
Good luck
im still having this problem. When i open handcent SMS i have like 50 threads of messages, but when i open default Messaging, it doesnt show any, just Compose New Message.....whats goin on?

Just out of curiousity....
Handcent is a default sms/mms replacement application, so why the love affair with the default app? I'm thinking its probably meant to use one or the other, not both. Perhaps once Handcent is installed, it routes everything in the mmssms.db file over to its directory and when its uninstalled it reverts back. Just a thought, of course, it doesn't really help you.
i wanted to start using it since Ted themed it to look more like Hero MMS, i use backuo for root users, so i backed up SMS/MMS and uninstalled Handcent, and then restored SMS.MMS but still wouldnt show up in MMS app

Did you reboot after the restore? You could also try pushing the backed up mmssms.db file from the backup for root users folder directly to the default messaging app's database folder, reboot and see if that works. The default messaging app folder is located here:
Code:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
i tried that and still nothing, also when i unistalled Handcent, i went into Messaging and tried to send message to myself, and never recieved it, same when i sent myself message from friends phone, somethings not right

Options are gone in contact icon dock.

Hi.
I hope you'll the problem I see in my phone. When you look at your contacts and click on the contacts name, this dock appereas and option you to send sms , email, call, skype call and so on.
If you install another email app and different sms app, it should show them as optional as well. I don't get that in my phone anymore. Please help me fix it.

Default messaging app

How do I make Handcent the default messaging app again? Auto retrieve is unchecked in Serendipity native messaging, but it is still receiving messages. Thanks.

...sigh... Did you turn off the notifications on the native app also?
Notifications are off. Not getting double notifications. Just seems very inefficient to have messages loaded by both apps. Gotta be a way to shut down native app without messing around with scripts.

If you have the paid version of titanium backup, you can select the native messaging app and freeze it and see if your messaging still works, if it does still work, use root explorer and make a copy of the native app, save it to the sd card and delete the original. Just throwing out trial and error options, so I'm not responsible if it doesn't work lol. If deleting the native messaging apk caused fc's, just copy and paste the original and you should be back to where you started though.

Do you mean that the preinstalled messenger is the default SMS application?
Have you gone to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All Tab -> Messenger -> Clear defaults?
Yes. Cleared messages and handcent cache. Next message comes in...choose handcent ad default. Go to messages app and same message is there. Not a biggie, but seems inefficient. Thanks

I'm fairly certain that SMS are stored somewhere different and the apps just access that single location; you don't have the same message in multiple locations. If you downloaded a third messenger app later, you should be able to access all the previous conversations as well.
Ok. That makes me feel better then, lol. Thanks

[Q] Cant' Read SMS

I have recently purchased a GT0I9505 and have rooted it, but have not installed any custom ROMs. I am using GO SMS Pro and when I get a new message I get the notification, but when I open the app and try to open the message, the whole thread is blank, including old messages (I have transferred my old messages across from my S2 using Titanium Backup).
I have tried deleting the app data and cache from the Application menu in 'settings', but this does nothing, and doesn't even delete my message threads. I have even uninstalled GO SMS Pro and installed another app, but this doesn't even work properly, so I don't think it's a GO problem. An interesting note is that when I uninstall GO SMS Pro and reinstall it using the Play Store, my messages all come back up (in list view only).
If I receive a text I get the popup, so I can read the message, but then when I open it up in the app, the whole thread is just blank. Can someone help, or even tell me where I can find the stored SMS messages on my phone so I can delete the file. I have tried everything but cannot delete a single text message!
Try restoring your backup of GO SMS Pro without data in TiBu.
