Anyone shed some light on why mms comes through as a link to viewmymessage.com. They always seemed to download fine on my tilt.
I am running phoenix ultimate but this isn't due to the rom imo

I know this is a pointless reply but since I have had my captivate that had not happened to me a single time. Did you check your settings in your messaging app and make sure auto retrieve is checked. Thats the only thing I can think of.
Everything seems in order there. IDK... <sigh>

Yeah sounds like something is wrong in your settings. Check your messaging app settings, (what messaging app are you using) and your apn settings to make sure they are right.

I've been messing with my Captivate a lot for the past few weeks, rooted and flashed once I got sick of waiting for an update. I've tried most of the major roms out there and am having a great time learning about it all.
I have a problem and would appreciate some advice on the simplest way to solve it. Whenever I try to enter the image gallery, I get a black screen for a few seconds, then it vibrates a few times and kicks back to the home screen and gives me a failure notification. It does this regardless of what rom I'm running so I'm assuming it has something to do with the file structure on the card? If I data reset, will this fix it?
I looked around but didn't see an apparent answer for this specific issue. Thanks
Try this, download sgs tools from market. Goto uodate stock apps select gallery

Hmmm, I downloaded it and it doesn't seem to do that much. I don't see any options like that for sure. What is that program supposed to do?
After I posted I realized the app I referenced is not on the market.
Have you tried deleting app data
settings, applications, manage, all, gallery, delete data

Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
wow, thanks! That did it. I just upgraded the stock app and it's fine now. This app looks really useful, what are some of its other uses?
Secret codes gets you into a bunch of useful things
like lbs test mode for gps
the updated gallery you installed is also supposed to help battery somehow.
I do not use it all too much though, but I keep it around

Unfreeze stock messaging. Disable notifications in stock messaging program.
Why? Programs like go sms and hand cent are not messaging replacement programs. The rely on the stock messaging framework to work themselves. Let me know if that works.

No Handcent got an update a few months ago so it could be a stock replacement. You have to check it in the settings though.

With the new update I don't see that option anymore...and now it stopped working again even with the stock messaging app unfrozen.
Anyone else seeing this?
Anyone using the native lockscreen? I have a question.
I use chomp SMS as my messaging client and I get numerous message counts on the lockscreen from the native messaging app. Is there any way to shut off that notification? Or do I have to use a different lockscreen? I really don't wanna have to use a different lockscreen. I'm actually trying to leave it as stock as I can.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am like you for the moment I am liking the stock look and feel of this phone for now. I do really like GoSMS because of how customizable it is but also because when you are setting up it does a brief setting check to see how the stock messaging app. is set and then tells you what to turn off. It is a pretty slick low resource using messaging app. I dig it.
If you have never tried it you might want to give that app. a shot. IMO it is one of the better messaging apps. out there. Here is a link to it on the market.

I used GoSMS for awhile. I like it too but it still doesn't shut off the SMS count on the lockscreen.
Sent from my LG Thrill 3D using XDA Premium
Weird. I don't like the count on the screen either and there is a setting in both the stock and GoSMS settings that offers the option to disable the count for the lock screen. Maybe it is something specific with the Thrill. I don't know but now I am curious. I am going to look further into it. I check back and see if you found something before I do.
This has actually been mentioned in some review articles and as far as I know the reviewer was never able to actually get a fix for it other than to use the stock sms/mms. It is software related as far as they saw so the dev for chompSMS and what not will have to fix it.
Hey cool man thanks for the update. Because I had not found anything yet. LOL!
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
There is no way to disable it though the stock apps or settings. i use hancent sms and it has an option to set it as the default app for sms, mms, or all. when you pick both, the stock messaging app is bypassed until the next boot up, but only displays the notification until you open either handcent or the stock app. i have noticed too, that if you want to set a custom ringtone through an alternate messaging app, the stock notification ringtone must be set to silent or be turned off completely to work right. this can always be different for other phones though.
If you are rooted (or willing to do so), you can install Titanium Backup, create a backup of the stock messaging app, then uninstall it that way. No unread message count anymore. You can always reinstall it if you wish to go back completely stock.
I used to have an OG Droid and got the Bionic on release date. I have searched, and searched and found nothing on this topic anywhere on the internet (which I find odd). Is there a reason the "auto refresh" feature for twitter does not show up on the bionic?
Also is there another app, or does the built-in blur twitter use push notifications?
TIA
I believe it is the last reason you stated. Go to settings>accounts>twitter. Check the menus in there. There is also a place in settings that lists social status update settings. Let me look quick and I'll update.
Go into settings>battery and data manager>data services?(bottom one)>social applications. Check to see if push is enabled.

Is that only for the built-in BLUR social messaging (I knew the setting was there, but wasn't sure if it only applied to BLUR apps)? If so I cannot see any setting in the BLUR twitter account to receive notifications for tweets, is there one?
Since this phone has a native twitter client built in, I don't think you can get push from the market app - similar to FB.
My advice? Download tweetcaster. Problem solved and better app.

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me because the "social networking" application is pretty terrible/featureless. Tweetcaster has push notifications?
edit: Also I was on Liberty, not stock and the option still wasn't there so maybe it is something Motorola did inside of their source. I might look around at it today and see if I can find the culprit for this.
edit2:
reddit.com/r/Android/comments/j6z4p/anyone_else_notice_automatic_refresh_missing_in/
It seems this issue may not be tied to Motorola, but instead the official twitter app. However I have looked at the other twitter apps and do not see push notifications (or c2dm) mentioned anywhere.
Tweetcaster has push.

Interesting as it would not appear so by looking at the settings since the settings show different refresh times, and no option for push/c2dm. Is tweetdeck also this way?
edit: Tweetcaster definitely does not have push/c2dm messaging.
Bump. Does anyone have any idea? And if tweetcaster has push notifications how do you enable them?
TIA

Works fine for me. Don't forget to go to the app info in settings and make sure the "show notifications" checkbox is checked. Then don't forget to go to the settings within the Hangouts app --> SMS --> check notifications. If all else fails, uninstall updates and reinstall from Play store. Good luck!

Perhaps the texts from Sprint's network aren't playing nice with Hangouts? Stearic, can you verify if you're on sprint or not? I know Sprint's sms system is slightly different than most other carriers. If this is a Sprint issue, then there really isn't much you can do...

I'm on verizon. Txt's from both other vzw users and from google sms. Where are both these "show notifications" options at? You mean both for the email section and sms section in hangouts? Those are both set for me and i still don't get any.
I had this problem when I first installed it. Couldn't figure out for the life of me why I wasn't getting any notifications. I had go sms installed at the time and even disabled notifications from that. Still no dice. Finally I uninstalled go SMS completely and it finally started working properly. My advice if you have any other messaging app uninstall it even if you don't use it.

I'm using Handcent and had the same issue. I fixed it by disabling Default SMS in Handcent. What I miss is the number of messages notification on the app icon and the notification bar.
