I'm having an issue where the timestamp on my msgs are now incorrect after flashing to a new rom. I was told that htis happened if I am outside the USA (I am from canada on rogers), but this never happened before to me from flashing to a AT&T rom.
Is there an actual fix to it?
If i flash to a different rom will my timestamp be fixed?
how about if flash stock, will it fix the issue?
I had the same problem. I can't figure it out either, but I found a work around.
I downloaded Handcent SMS from the market. set it up the way Ilike it, and disabled the notifications from the default SMS app.
I now have correct time stamps, and the sms has different skins to look like HTC, IPhone etc.

Thanks but i was looking for an actual fix rather than a work around. Do u know if it will go back to normal if i flashed another rom?

Hi, as of lately for some reason, I had 4.2.3.1 on my phone the other day and out of no where whenever I would receive text, I would get two notifications one from my SMS app (Handcent) and the other is from the default SMS app.
Now I decided to run dwangs v1.11, and I'm still getting the same issue.
-I'm using a theme, as of now its djengizz 2.0
-I have the handcent SMS app(and yes I did disable the notifications in the default SMS)
-And of course I'm running the 1.6 ROM (Dwangs v1.11)
Is anybody having this same problem? If so, how do you fix it? Some please respond
P.S. I don't have this problem on any Hero ROMs.
im having this problem myself and ive only seen one other post besides my own inquiry into the problem and this thread. no answers as of yet, hopefully it will be fixed in the next cyan build. until then i just try to ignore it >_<
maybe turn off the notification for the anrdoid sms?
people really need to read :\

Hey guys, i have a pretty serious problem with SMS messaging. It seems like my Milestone refuses to receive SMS messages. I've been using FroyoMOD and now i have Cyanogen 7 RC3 from kabaldan. With both of them i've experienced this issue. And it's always the same.. after like a month or so from when i flash the ROM..it's happening again. It's really annoying and people are yelling at me for ignoring them So, if anybody knows what's the deal or has experienced the same issue.. i'll be more than glad if you had any suggestions. For now i pretty much think it might be something like kernel-related or whatever.. i don't really know
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.
install advanced task killer, open the sms app, go to advance task killer and uncheck the sms app...with this setting you can receive sms...
forgot to mention that i use handcent or chomp sms..not the stock app. that also might be the problem. i tried rebooting and i don't think i have any task killer that kills my sms app. unless the task killer is integrated w/ the ROM. Anyway, gonna try this.
Got the same problem here and it's driving me crazy.
I've taken a look at the log and you can clearly see the sms arriving, because android is starting the sms app. But it get's killed before it can safe the sms. I believe it's due to a memory shortage. I've tried several different memory management settings and also tried to fix the sms app in memory by adjusting the oom_adj value (see thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012330)
But nothing realy helped for long. I still loose many SMS also Whatsapp mostly does not notify me about new messages. Push mail works most of the times. Gtalk notifications I'd say work only in 50% of all cases. I'll probably downgrade to CM6. The milestone simply has not enough memory for Gingerbread.
Is your data memory low?
there is a bug when getting lower than ~20mb of free memory,
(last time I ran in that problem was in 2.1, so i'm not sure if releavent to 2.2 and up)
Yes, it's quite low and can possibly be below 20mb at some times. When I look at it it's usually around 30 Mb. I can get more free memory by adjusting the memory manager settings, but that only means it kills background apps even more agressively, or so I understand it.

Handcent seems impossible to run even on stock telus froyo http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12675946&postcount=13
I'm going to reinstall it and test with minfree values of 6, 8, 26, 16, 16, 32.
Hancent is always in the 4th or 5th slot so maybe that will work.
well i just flashed latest MIUI, sent sms to my number and received it.. i think i had SuperCharged minfree from you zeppelinrox. well i guess it's always the same: i flash new ROM, it works and after some time it stops. what the hell.. the thing is i never used stock messaging app, that might be the cause.
I use supercharge script with aggressive 2...moreover i use advance task killer...i didn't lose any sms...before that sometimes I didnt receive any sms...you have to unselect your app for sms(stock one, handcent, chompsms)...I use stock sms app and everything is working...
Its seems you'be got me wrong, I mean applications data memory, not device ram.

You're right. I got you wrong. I've got plenty of application memory. I've had low applications data memory a few month ago and it took me days to realize taht this causes the phone not to receive any sms. But as soon as you free up memory all SMS seem to be coming through.

by the way, What do you mean by "I've taken a look at the log"?
by the way, just got another problem... seems like everytime i flash MIUI ROM (and maybe any other ROM, idk) and recover my messages from backup with SMS Backup & Restore, the phone sends out by itself like 5 messages always to the same people. It happened like 3 times so far.. and it's pretty much possible that i flashed it 3 times.. but i think that might be more like the sms backup-related issue. The 5 msgs seem to have something like hasn't-been-sent-yet flag or whatever.. seriously, i just feel like throwing the phone out the window right now.
Maybe it's application issue?
I've been using "SMS Backup+" for long awhile (probably since november when I first flashed MIUI)
and never ran into problem.

Is used the Debuger from the Android SDK. When you connect your phone to the computer you can log almost everything with it in realtime.
Btw. I've just migrated to MIUI to try if SMS arrive here more reliably. But I'm not yet sure I like the user interface. It's rather different from CM7.

Thanks man!

yo can give me reference, that I can search about? thanks.

You need to install the Android SDK from Google. Since you know adb I guess you allready have it. In the SDK there's a file called ddms.bat. That starts the debugger.
Same stuff here...
I´ve had similar issues relating the sms thingy. I´m going to try that app killer thing to see how it goes.
You may view my post here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112009
Hope someone figures out a way out of this.
Thanks.
Possible solution

well i have an observation. after i stopped using all sms backup apps, the problem is gone. and by sms backup app i mean those that backup to gmail, not to sdcard. if you have an app that checks for new sms's and automatically backes them up, then get rid of it.. if you need an one time backup, use SMS Backup & Restore.
like i said, getting rid of automatic sms backup apps did the trick for me.
Hi
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post but I flashed the Ripper Rom with Aroma options.
Since then I have a strange text message problem. Basically I can receive messages fine, but any message from anyone starts a new message chain. I'll be texting someone several times over the course of 30 minutes and every message I receive starts a new message thread/chain instead of putting it in an existing text message thread with my response.
I hope that makes sense.
Does anyone have any idea of what could be the issue?
Oh and this happens on the default message app and on messenger metro.
Thanks
I had that problem 2 a while a go. Dont remember wich rom and version though... U should ask in the RipperRom forum, they probably know how to fix it... Until then u can try selecting another sms app in aroma options (if there is one...) or download a sms app from market...

Do you know how you fixed your problem?
I tried posting there originally but I can't post in the development section until I have 10 posts and I don't want to spam a load of topics just to get access there, as I figured people really wouldn't appreciate that!
Actually i dont know what they did... Its probebly the sms app that needs 2 be fixed. Maybe u must wait 4 a new version or try some other roms. I use pandoriam and dont have that problem. U could try search the forum 4 a fixed sms app and flash it through cwm. Good luck

I've just tried GoSMS and it's working fine there, so I'm wondering if my favoured messaging app just needs a fresh install or if it's a problem that would require an update or a rom to finish.
I'm not a huge fan of GoSMS so I'm still hoping to be able to fix the issue but in the meantime until someone else pitches in or I figure it out it will do.
Thanks for your help I really appreciate it.
I think you may be using the AOSP styled mms app. It seems to be a little buggy that mms and can cause that to happen, so I was thinking of removing it next update. It doesn't happen with the stock mms app but just the modded aosp styled
I don't know if it is the same but my gf had this problem on Slim JB on i9000 she fixed it by changing the time and date settings of all things!
I think she unchecked 'let network automatically select date and time' and set it manually.
Maybe try that and play around with date and time settings.
It sounds random but it might work

So ive flashed Clean rom and have noticed that people tell me they sent me pictures but I am not receiving them. is there something I can do to fix it? if not I might go back to stock, because some of these pictures were highly important!
Any ideas anyone?

Group messaging, if not enabled in your Messaging App Settings will prevent them from downloading.
Set it up and see if that helps.
If it's ALL MMS messages, I'm not sure I have a suggestion.
EDIT:
And I guess to add, on custom ROMs with different devices I've used in the past, MMS messaging has always seemed to be one of those things that has big issues. In fact, I lived without getting pics for a long time on my old phone. What are you running? You can scour its XDA thread for "MMS" -- bet you'll find something if there's an issue.

Are you talking about the 160 character limit? I don't know that there's a "fix" for the stock messaging client. Not all phones can handle messages over 160, so you could run into issues dealing with other phones/networks.
You could try another SMS client. Pansi is awesome for GB, and has a toggle for the 160 character limit. It's my favorite messaging app and fully themeable. GoSMS was also nice, but I don't recall the ability to toggle the 160 limit.

The stock messaging application works well, and I use it on occasion (actually, I've trimmed things down and use it as my primary right now). It just splits large messages into parts. Some carriers can't or won't deal with large messages.
Pansi is really nice. I'd use it with adfree; the older version of Pansi was a no-ad option, but they've recently changed. It's still an awesome app.
