The Option to use either Skype or Dialler is missing - it was there yesterday !!! How do I get it back . . .
Settings, applications, manage applications, all tab, dialer, hit clear defaults.
That's assuming it is using dialer as default, if it's using skype hit the clear defaults there.

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

Hi.
I remember there was a function to let MIUI stock SMS app find your contacts when you try to send an SMS but I can't remember how to enable it.
For example, if I have to send a message to John, I just should type "J" and the system recognizes the rest. Now I'm using Handcent SMS to do this correctly but I would like to use the MIUI app.
Can please someone remind me the steps?
I'm sure there's a solution, I've read it somewhere!!
Thanks in advance!
When I had this problem I just found that the contacts number wasn't set as their mobile number. If this is the case for you just go to that contact and edit it

Thank you both.
I tried both solutions but with no results. I'm sure there's a fix for that!
EDIT: I got it! Messaging -> Settings -> Advanced settings -> Filter numbers
I think it's the same if you pass from MMS section.
Thank you very much!
My IS starts to have a weird problem since today. I can send and receive sms to and from people. However, the sms message which I sent are not saved in the phone.
There is plenty memory available in my phone. what's the problem? This is really annoying :-(
Don't want to state the obvious, but have you enabled 'save sent items' in your options?
are you using stock messaging tool or a third party app?

Yes, "save sent items" is enabled and I'm using the stock messaging tool. Without changing any of the setting, the phone suddenly stopped saving sent sms. It's really strange.
sorry, did not check your reply.
you could try backing up everything and do a factory reset.
there doesn't seem to be a reason why the sent messages are not being saved...
have u use ant 3rd party sofware like handcent/go sms...
try
- uninstall it & how your message working (test it)

Hi, first of all thanks for the help you could bring me. My problem is that since yesterday night I'm not receiving any kind of sms or mms on my stock messaging app. Today I was trying to solve it but with no success. So I installed Go SMS Pro and to my surprise it worked, I started receiving SMS and mms, but still the stock messaging app is not alerting of upcoming sms even though it's receiving them (I think that they share a common folder and that's why if in go SMS pro it works it'll show on stock messaging app, so in theory stock is not receiving but just showing, am I right?).
For now I'm using SMS go pro, but I'd like to know why this happened. I read something about accessing a hidden testing menu (*#*#4636#*#*) to change the smsc but that menu is not available on my phone (any idea why?) tried the code above and tried using those apps that serve as a shortcut. The screen goes dark as it's trying to access the testing menu and returns to home screen, in other apps (like missing shortcuts) it shows as unavailable. I even edited the hiddenmenu file on efs/carrier from OFF to ON and still the testing menu doesn't appear. I'm using my phone right now with mobile data, wifi works well and so do phone calls, no problems at all.
I'd really appreciate any ideas that could help me. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 running 4.3 firmware, I updated from 4.1.2 a couple of days ago but didn't have any problems, I could receive sms normally. The problem happened suddenly yesterday night.

there is an option in Messaging app...Auto Retrieve - check if enabled....
if other app work with no problem it's just an app related problem..not something else...check in app setting maybe something is not enabled...
a factory reset would make it work for sure....but is too much...

Thanks for the answer. Yeah, I don't want to factory reset since I've just did it to upgrade to 4.3. About the app settings, I've just tried all the possible combinations. I'm just using GO SMS Pro for now but MMS aren't downloading. Sigh.

try this: go to Settings->More->Application Manager-> Select "All" tab -> select Messaging-> Clear data + Clear cache...
