I know this may be a dumb question but my phone is zippy fast except for messaging. I have lag fix and am using ultimate droid. Is having about 4500 sms and some mms causing the slowdown in messaging or am i missing something? Thanks

Yes this is the exact reason why. It's about time to delete your messages and start over. You can also set message limits in the message settings.
I set mine to:
Text message limit - 500 messages per conversation
Multimedia message limit - 20 messages per conversation
And usually this works perfectly for me. No lag at all when entering the message app.

I have mine set to 450 for text and 20 for MMS. And i only have lag since copying my messages over to 2.2. I had no problem on 2.1 with the exact same number of messages.

I have a rooted i896 running Cognition v2.3b6. Now by default, when I used the sms app, the time listed for text messages that i receive are 5 hours in the past (at 945pm i received an sms, but the time listed under the text was 445). Because when I my text messages that are sent with the proper time, so in the text message thread my text messages are always first and my recipients texts appear always before in the thread.
I what I didnt was I changed my time zone to account for the 5 hour gap.
So after I did this, most of the text message appear in order except for messages that are sent/received in the same minute. For texts send during the same minute, my sent always appear after even if it is sent before.
I read on these forums that this is a problem with time stamping of the text from the carrier or something, but there was not explanation on how to fix this.
Is anyone else having this problem and found out a way to fix it?

You can download an app called "Sms Time Fix" and put it to adjust by 5 hours. You can also download "Handcent" or another 3rd party messaging app and the time will be correct.
I had a very similar problem. After i got my phone unbricked and loaded the latest version of cognition onto the phone the timestanps were five hours off. I am now using handcent and have no probles whatsoever with the timestamps.
Don't forget to go into tibu and "freeze" your original sms program that came stock with the phone.

Messaging won't send 2 pages plus whenever I forward a message there is no "FWD:" in front of it. Anyone else experience this?

What app are you using to send sms?
I've tried both handcent and stock messaging, neither work. I had the same problem with cyanogen. My friend's hero has the same problem.

Im having trouble sending a text message that is greater than 160 characters too. I am using Aosp 2.2, latest one.
I'm surprised we're the only ones having this problem, although most people don't send sms messages over 160. I on the occasion do, so it's a necessity. I recall 2.1 being able to do it.

To send messages over 160 character, you will have to use a SMS app such as Chomp or Handcent to split up the message(s).
@ stayclean
I've tried several SMS applications, including CHOMP, Handcent, Go SMS, and stock. All show that you are going beyond the two page limit, but once you exceed it says send failed.

With Handcent, did you set it to split after 160? If not, you have to go into Settings > Send message settings > Split 160 > Simple Split.
I've been having a lot of problems with MMS since picking up the Active and switching to AT&T.
I usually use Handcent, but right now it's pretty worthless when it comes to group messages or receiving a picture. in both the stock messaging app and Handcent settings I have it set to group messages, and to automatically download. when I receive an MMS, though, I still have to click on download (and they won't download at all in Handcent even after clicking).
say I receive a group text from someone and 3 other people respond. both apps now display 4 different entries, one for each person. if I open each individual's thread and click download (again just in the stock app) the messages will be removed from that individual's thread and then be added to a group thread.
this is pretty frustrating, and I really want it solved. is this an AT&T issue (I was on VZW riding the Droid train before) or something with the phone?
a little update on this:
sending of MMS is also way less than ideal, either not sending at all, or taking a really really long time. I tried to send a picture earlier and it took 40 minutes before it finally went through. my searching of the interwebs leads me to believe it's perhaps an APN issue? it would be strange if the default settings out of the box prevent it from working, though. anyone else have an issue with this?
MMS is horrible for me on Handcent, too. I have to open the stock Messaging app just to download an MMS and sometimes that doesn't work, either. I also tried AT&T Messages, but it won't ever even setup correctly.

All of a sudden, my incoming texts are not saving to my inbox. It all started after 10am today. I have my incoming texts before 10 but after that- it looks like i am just having a conversation with myself.
The pop up text appears but when I "X" out of it, the text is gone. I am using hand cent texting app but they're also not being saved to my factory text app.
Also, it's not set to delete messages after 200.
Help! Luckily I have the pop up setting enabled or I would not get my text. I've looked through the settings and can't find anything.
I fixed it.. it was my handcent app
hello all,
i've been trying to setup facebook messenger as my default text messaging app (meaning sms and mms). i seem to have no trouble sending out and receiving sms messages, but i do not receive mms messages that others send to me, and when i send one out to others, it appears for a split second, then disappears. my app defaults show facebook messenger as the default sms app.

This is an old post, so I hope you found a solution for it. I'm having the same issue an I found if you send it with text or the person sending it includes text it shows up. That's the only fix for it I've found.

On Facebook messenger you can't, but on other sms apps you can. Like on gosms you can include text with the pic which stops it from disappearing. I wouldn't recommend gosms cuz of the ads. I just have an old copy from Titanium back up that I use with no ads. Besides that you have to stick to the sms that comes with it or go with a good sms with no ads an just include text with the pic, unfortunately a person sending you an mms without text, the pic will just dissappear.
