I have a Messaging problem and I am not sure if it just some setting I don't have correct or ROM Problem here goes. I am using Handcent App(I haven't tried the Messaging App that comes with Android) and I am on a Custom GB ROM .I can Send and Receive Text Messages and I can Send Messages with Pictures attached but if someone sends me a Picture via a message I don't get Message or Picture. Where should I start looking to Correct?
Thanks
start by making sure data connection is active,
then try downloading them again.
if not try deleting all the failed picutres.
Then open settings > manage apps > handcent > clear CACHE. REBOOT.
have a friend send a new pic,

The Data Connection is active. How do I download them again or delete the failed pictures because nothing ever came though not even the message that the picture was attached to? I will try clearing Cache though
Thanks for reply
I got it fixed. I had turned off the Build in Android Messaging App thinking I didn't need it since I had Handcent App running but it seems I do to Receive Text with Pictures.

Whenever I get a message using Handcent I also get a duplicate message in my stock msgr. How do I disable this? I have Handcent set as my default msngr.
have you tried going into stock app then
menu > settings > auto retrieve > off ?
might only apply to MMS tho and not regular SMS...if that doesn't work, dunno
On the stock msgr, you go into settings and turn off the notifications under settings, like sound, vibrate etc.
if you are rooted and wanna use handcent sms.. rather than the default then just use root explorer go to system/apps then delete the mms.apk

You have no idea how much this duplicate msg. Thing has been bothering me. Thus worked like a charm. Thank you so much for the help and especially the quick reply.

How can I get the native mms to stop popping up with handcent mms? I've tried disabling auto retrieve along with removing the mms.apk, but it still pops up.
Any idea on how to make sure the native mms doesn't popup when receiving a new message?
default messaging application > settings >In the notifications settings , uncheck the notification bar.

Be careful with that, you will most likely kill mms, unless one of the recent handcent updates has changed something.

I remember reading that deleting important apk's like that via root explorer can be dangerous. If you decide to delete it that way, make a nand backup first.

I've been using handcent for quite some time now. I simply go into the stock SMS application and turn absolutely everything off, including auto-retrieve, notification sounds, notification vibrate, etc.
My settings are backed up through Titanium Backup, so when I flash a new ROM, I just re-apply the backup of the settings. Works wonderfully for me.

Tried this, but then I can't get MMS (messages with photo attachments). Everything else works, but MMS stops working.
To begin with, I am only getting messages duplicated when they come through a gateway such as [email protected]. The ones that come direct from other people are usually fine and I get only 1. I've searched and searched for the answer for this and can't seem to find it.
Does handcent load super slow for you guys. Had to stop using because of that.

I have recently purchased a GT0I9505 and have rooted it, but have not installed any custom ROMs. I am using GO SMS Pro and when I get a new message I get the notification, but when I open the app and try to open the message, the whole thread is blank, including old messages (I have transferred my old messages across from my S2 using Titanium Backup).
I have tried deleting the app data and cache from the Application menu in 'settings', but this does nothing, and doesn't even delete my message threads. I have even uninstalled GO SMS Pro and installed another app, but this doesn't even work properly, so I don't think it's a GO problem. An interesting note is that when I uninstall GO SMS Pro and reinstall it using the Play Store, my messages all come back up (in list view only).
If I receive a text I get the popup, so I can read the message, but then when I open it up in the app, the whole thread is just blank. Can someone help, or even tell me where I can find the stored SMS messages on my phone so I can delete the file. I have tried everything but cannot delete a single text message!
Try restoring your backup of GO SMS Pro without data in TiBu.

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...
I am running HD Revolution 71.1 on my M7 and can send text messages but if I attach a photo (selfie in this case) I get an error 'Unable to send message after multiple attempts'. This is the first time I have actually tried to use the phone for this function.
I am on Three in the UK and checked the APN MMS settings and they all seem correct. I can send text messages just not attached photos.

are you using any ads blocking software i.e. Adblock plus? These apps are known to also block MMS messages.

I am using AdFree. I tried disabling it, clearing the data and rebooting but still no go (unless it left something in the hosts file?).

Could try a dirty flash after the disable just to verify. All else fails, run a logcat while sending one and see what it throws out there.

I just spoke to Three. It's because I have a cap on my usage and picture messaging is charged at 35p each.I guess I will just have to find other methods to send the image.

well, i can't send and receive sms... anyone knows what to do?
Perhaps you should provide information as to what your carriers and your plans are.
By default phone uses "Force close/stop" feature to prevent apps from running in background to save memory. As a result when you swipe remove the message/sms app or any other app from backround app list, they get forced shut down and you wont receive any message or they won't function any more. Follow this step to enable receiving sms or any other app:
Go to Settings > System > Advanced > 'DESELECT' Deep process clean
That's all

You still haven't provided information on your Carrier or your Carrier Plan.
How can you expect to have any help?
If you have Verizon, call them and ask to add CDMA-Less provisioning. I work for vzw and have had plenty of customers with this issue when using non mainstream brand devices
