[Q] I lost my stock captivate sms - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had a bad flash, managed to get my phone back with odin but now I have no sms capability at all. Tried to load the handcent sms off of market and that was not what I was looking for especially having to start a program and log in every time I want to send a message let alone receive one. I loaded cog 2.3b8 and I still don't have sms. I tried to do a search and after looking through sms post (wouldn't let me search for no sms) for 5 hours I still haven't found an answer, can someone help please thank you.

If on at&t go to mms, menu, settings, make sure message center matches this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

You could just re-flash and you should be fine. ODIN first then re-flash.

Thank you that took care of it.

Thank you mcord11758 for the number that was the problem. I was going to the wrong screen to.

still have no outgoing sms
I have set the number and I can receive sms but I still can't send any messages. I have gone to stock then went to cog 2.3b8, then went back to stock now I have tried phoenix 5.2 still nothing. Next I have loaded the samsung mms and still nothing. I still have the messaging on my plan as I can use messaging if I use my incite. Thank you for any assistance.

it did not bother me at first, but now its starting to piss me off, and i cant find a setting for it

is this only happening to me??
if there is already a thread about this please point me to it and merge and/or delete this one

Yeah I'm having the same issue on FIDO in Canada.
5 hours behind. Let me know if you hear of any fix that isn't to set your clock to +0 (which I did because being able to follow texts is more important to me than syncing woes at the moment).

[Q] SMS Short Code Warning

Hey all!
So I'm trying to use SMS Barrage to send many (MANY) messages to a local radio station to win a contest for concert tickets. You can send in as many entries (texts) as you want, so i'd figured i'd automate the process. HOWEVER, the number i have to send the texts to is a 5-digit short code, and my phone throws this warning up every time a text is trying to send to a short code. Now, granted, this is nice that Google is trying to protect us, but I feel I can take care of myself. Does anyone know a way to disable this warning, as it appears for EVERY singe message that is sent via sms barrage, so not very automated. I'm running the unofficial version of CM10 found here.

Never seen that one before, and I've sent to short codes before as well. Of course I wasn't trying to flood anybody either nor was I using CM10 (not that I think that matters).
well i know that it's not an issue with flooding, i sent a single text to a different short code a while back, and the warning appeared, but i didn't think anything of it.

Missing Photo Contact in SMS Notification Bar

Hi All,
Until recently, when someone text me I use to get a Notification like below.... Basically, I would get the first line of the message along with a picture of the person who text me.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- [Note] This picture is not from my phone, found it on the Net
I believe this came from the STOCK Android Messaging App, even though I had Go SMS Pro installed and Active as my main SMS App.
I accidentally clicked on an Unread Message (which I didn't mean or want to do... as I wanted it to keep popping up) and turned its Status from Unread to Read, and now it doesn't show up anymore... I have found a way / App to use that can turn the status of the message to Unread again.
However it will not pop back up into the Notification Pulldown bar....?? Any idea's what this feature is, and how to get it back up there please????
(I know its a random request, but I just prefer that message to be always up there...)
Thanks, Lister
:bump: Anyone....??
Thanks, Lister

[Q] Contacts app stops working

Hi all, any time I start a call i got a contacts app stopped working message, anyone knows how to solve this?
Its stock OS, I even tried to reset factory defaults but not luck at all. Not rooted, not much apps and no games at all installed on it.

Looks like you are still on kitkat...Upgrade to lollipop and problems will be solved...
Thanks for your answer, I really want to have lollipop but official upgrade is taking too much time would you recommend doing a manual upgrade?
My phone came with a retla (from claro Colombia) ROM and im kind of worried of bricking it or having problems with calls for the radio frequency difference

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's not a kit kat problem. Go to settings, apps, all applications. Scroll down to contacts and clear cache. Go back, scroll down to phone and clear cache, back out and try contacts again.

Question about SMS app on SM-T817A (AT&T)

It seems that AT&T removed the android SMS messaging app? If I text the tablet it gets the text as a notification in the AT&T AllAccess app, but I can not reply to it. Is there a way to get over this issue?
Thanks.
Just install another.
I did installed a few
but it tells me that the app has to be set as the default messaging app in order to work. I went through everything looking how to set it up as the default messaging app, but no dice.

When you get a message come through hit that message and you should be asked how you want to open it, select the app you wish to use and make it default.
It just doesn't happen
I click OK every time but the pop up stays there.
Which app is that, I'd try handcent or hangouts.
I tried Hangouts, GO SMS PRO, Messages+, SMSdroid, and ZERO SMS.
Handcent does not even install. It says that it is not compatible.
Maybe att modified the framework to prevent an app from simply being installed.
AT&T definitely did something. Messaging is locked on the AT&T AllAccess app as default and that does not allow to send texts.
I found the apk and tried handcent too. I keep clicking setup now, and the window reappears.
