This just started happening the other day when i installed another sms app. I know how to set up all the settings and even find where to backup my settings or themes. But since i've had two sms apps, they keep resetting. I've got all my settings and backgrounds set up. then every once in a while, i will open my text messages and it's like im opening the app for the first time. I get the fix log popup and all the settings are default.
Now i thought that since i had two sms apps ( not including stock ) that i needed to uninstall one. So i did. My settings are still being reset randomly. I've tried unistalling and installing again. No luck.
Anyone got a clue as to whats going on here. :\
*EDIT* I'm trying to use Handcent.. or GO

Well I've never set up the default sms as I've always used GO. Up until recently trying out Handcent.
Using Paragon RC5 ROM with default kernel ..

i seem to be having a slight issue with double sms notifications.2 different icons showing i have messages.im using the stock android client so im getting that icon but im also getting what looks to be handcent icon.which i am not using.not even on my phone.i have completely wiped twice and reloaded everything.have run 2 different nightlys.not sure if it makes any difference but im also running paid version of launcher pro.wanted to give it a try.if this has been resolved elsewhere and i missed it i apologize but when i searched i didnt see anything related to nexus and froyo.
thanks
What happens if you tap on the unwanted notification?
It opens up to the messages same as stock icon
Go pick up handcent on the market disable notifications reboot and then uninstall it in settings. Should go away.
Ok,I will try that.thanks
That got it.thank you. Any idea why it started doing that even after 2 wipes?
As I have gone along here I have figured out that "complete wipes" are actually far from it. Another gotcha is that there can be detritus on the sd that comes back to haunt you with various apps depending on what they cache there.
ive noticed when i flashed assonance rom or axura rom..i dont get anymore notifications for my wordfeud or foursquare..and i have them all checked on..i just noticed today too i dont even get a sound notification for fb just the top bar i do..please help! only notifications i get is txt/sms..does that have to do with it? cause i got the bln thing..and ive already flashed everything all that the right way and followed instructions yada yada yada..what seems to be the problem? please help..thanks
Either a bad flash - or those features are broken due to the ROM you are running. I do know that a few builds out there that regular Voicemail notifications don't work due to ATT not recognizing the phone as an AT&T device.
I don't seem to have that issue - I have received notifications for gmail, txts, missed calls, and Facebook. But I don't have FourSquare installed but I'd imagine that would work too.
I'm currently running Assonance 5.0 with whatever SetIron kernel Mikey decided to use with this build.
I would try re-installing the application and if your restoring - DO NOT re-install the data part from TiBu. and see if that works.

When you do a restore within Titanium Backup you get an option to run the batch as "App and Data" or "Apps Only"
I always recommend if your having issues when restoring your applications to NOT restore the data part and using the "Apps Only" option. This will install just the application but none of your settings - so you would have to setup the application again from scratch but it won't migrate the issue to your new install.
For some reason, my Handcent app will at least once per day display its release notes when opened as if I just installed it, and any changes I made to its settings will be reset. This is particularly annoying because I use custom notification tones for different contacts & for new texts in general. What could be the issue? It's not set to autoupdate.

App updates through the market don't mess with your saved data/app settings, so that's probably not it. The next time it happens, uninstall/reinstall the app and see if that helps. Do this through the market, not from a Titanium Backup batch or anything similar. Also, I believe Handscent has an option to back up all of your user settings. The next time you have to reconfigure everything, make a backup of your settings. At the very least, it will save you a hell of a lot of time until you figure out what the problem is.

I reinstalled it like you suggested. I also tried reinstalling via EasyUninstaller. Neither fixed the problem.
Also, to backup the settings, you have to be a premium user.
The only thing I can think that would have affected the app is I installed a custom theme for it. It wasn't a theme from within the app itself, but a mod a user had made to change the keyboard color and some other things. I thought I had uninstalled it, though. I installed it via AppsInstaller with the apk being on my sd card. I'll try to find the thread I got the apk from.
OK, here it is: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/team-fusion/34058-release-themed-handcent.html
What Rom are you running? Stock Captivate or ?. Some roms cause this issue, resets the app (s) for some reason. I've had the issue on a few other apps but not handcent. I also registered the app, might make a difference.

I'm running Darkys 7.0.1 port, if you've heard of it. It's VERY nice on appearance and battery life, but this problem just sucks!
Would registering it fix the problem? I don't want to pay $3 just to remove the ad bar.
There is a free registration. Not sure if that will fix the problem but hell, it's free and saves your settings.
I have restored handcent using TiBu for at least the last 10 rom flashes, app + data and never had a problem, just did it this morning when going to Perception 9.5, and every things is working fine, logged in and it restored all my theme settings, preferences, etc.
That's with the free registration. Quote from them " Register free handcent account, get online quicktext and online themes services"
Other thing is, are you running the latest update? Every update has always fixed any issue I was having with the program.
Saw this: "with the new version of Handcent just released and it seems to break handcent even after resigning the app. " From the link you posted.
Wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I got my Nexus 4 (Yeah!), started it up, logged into my google acct, everything started downloading/restoring from google. I checked out the Messaging app and settings, and noticed a "group messages" setting. Sweet!!! But then I got a system update notification. I obviously installed it. After installing it, I used gobackup pro to restore my messaging threads. NOT THE APP, just the threads. Checking the settings again, the "group messages" setting was gone! Just gone! Not sure if it was the system update, or the thread restore, but I am perplexed. I've done 2 factory resets since, but the setting is still gone. Messaging ver. is 4.2-57622 or something like that (don't have the phone with me at the moment.) I'm guessing it had to do with the system update, and that is why it's still not there after the factory resets, but, I really have no idea. I am stock, no root, or unlocked bootloader. Stock, pure stock (the reason I bought a nexus device). Any help or related info would be greatly appreciated! I've searched everywhere, and seem to be the only one with this issue. Any screenshots of anyone else's messaging settings running that app version would help too. Thanks
You'd probably get more help if this was in the Q&A section.

Man, I'm confused. I have no idea what happened. The group part is totally omitted from mine. I've tried to reinstall the app, but can't get very far without root. Thank you for the screenshot. At least I know that the setting isn't just hidden in the Ota update.
Have you tried the reset settings to default option? Or clearing the data for the messaging app?

Yeah, done both. One thing someone just said in another thread, isit may be carrier dependent, and the OTA update hides the setting unless your carrier supports it. Being as I have only played with the phone on wifi just to make sure I am happy with it and don't want to return it,(as it is a christmas present ) I'm starting to wonder if that is my problem. I have no sim installed, so the settings may be hidden until you pop a sim in and the phone recognizes that your carrier supports it.
So I'm not sure how this started but I may have an idea. I used sms backup and restore to restore my texts to the G6. I was using Google Messages app for a couple days now until I discovered that there were themes available for the G6, so I uninstalled it. I started using the stock messaging app today and noticed I wasn't receiving any messages. So I open it up to see and now all it does it show a black screen. I fc'd it and cleared cache with no luck. I re-stalled Android Messages and they suddenly all popped up. I open the stock app and they all show up. So I uninstall the Android Messages app and I'm back where I started, with a black screen when opening the stock messaging app. Any ideas as to what is going on?
Are you changing the default messaging app first?

Thanks for the response. I believe it was because I had so many saved messages that it overwhelmed the phone lol. After it finally settled, it finally started working properly. Now if I can only find a good sms app...

With LG, whenever you backup/restore messages just wait for it as it might get stuck on a black screen or freeze when loading the app. I've realized this is completely normal and you kinda just have to give it time to catch up. I'm guessing in the period of time it's frozen while it's caching or something, but if you're restoring a few thousand messages it does take a bit to catch up; a few hundred messages typically come up almost instantly as I experienced this with my G2, G3, and V10. This behavior would suggest a poorly coded app in that the app isn't properly multi-threaded on that specific task - it could just be that the developers just overlooked it or something like that. On Samsung phones and other apps where that task is properly multi-threaded you can start using the app immediately but you notice conversations being updated and stuff like that.
As to a good messaging app.. It depends on what features you want. If you utilize Advanced Messaging, you're stuck with stock. If you don't mind losing Advanced Messaging then you can use practically whatever you want. A good option I used to use was Textra which offers an insane amount of custom options to make it look and feel the way you want. Android Messages is another good one, although pretty bare bones when it comes to customizations.

Yatta is a good messaging app totally customizable in every aspect.
