Hi Friends,
If you have been using a Samsung Omnia Pro or Omnia II for a while, you know what a pain in the *** is the Samsung's SMS/MMS application, also known as jinbox. This application is dead slow and takes huge amount of memory if left running. Almost 99% of the people I have seen want to get rid of it somehow.
In the past, some developers, including me, have released various fixes for this problem. For example, my Omnia Messaging Switcher application, which lets you switch between the native SMS system as well as Samsung messaging system. But all these utilities fail at one thing or another. You have to choose between either having faster, native SMS app and loosing MMS capability or keep both SMS and MMS functionality and take the pain of using that monstrous app.
Now here is a solution to all of your problems!
This small cab will install following fixes on your phone :
1. Your messaging application will be switched to Native Windows Application. The "Message" shortcut will point to this, and there will be a separate shortcut named "Samsung Messaging" for accessing the Samsung sh*t if you still want to use it for some reason.
2. In the SMS account, on clicking New, you will get 2 options instead of one: SMS or MMS. On creating SMS, the default Windows Native SMS composer will open just the way you like it. On creating MMS, the Samsung composer will open, without loading the whole Samsung Messaging App. The MMS sent and received by you will be perfectly visible in Sent Items/Inbox and perfectly editable/viewable, even in the threaded messaging view.
3. The E-Mail shortcut's icon will change to a better looking one and if you are on default settings, tapping it will show the list of email accounts to choose from.
All in all, it will seems to work just like it should smile.gif Let me know if you guys face any issues. Its working as it should on JC2/JE2 default and my custom roms, at least on my phone.
Hi there
I have I9000 international 8gb with JS3 firmware, JPY modem, JS3 CSC set on XEN.
I don't have any 3rd party sms apps installed. It's Samsung messaging. No facebook/twitter integration.
I have SMS Backup+ installed, the only sms related app I use.
I never experienced this with other previous firmwares. Ever.
When I receive an sms (which is completely random)
1) I hear notification, I see notification on screen with Samsung puzzle lockscreen indicating 1 sms
2) I swipe puzzle thing OR I unlock screen
3) I get to see SENDER of the SMS as an SMS THREAD for like 500ms then it dissappears! It's just a flash of "John Doe ---" and BAM! it goes away.
4) Other messages do not get affected.
5) If the message sent into a previous thread, it still gets dissappered but the previous thread messages stay.
I know there are many SMS bug hypes going on Google code, etc, but I can't find information about this specific one.
Please help me, I'm going nuts!
Hi,
Using rooted SGS Gingerbread official ROM 2.3.6 (JW4) and ext4 for lag fix. Now have a problem sending group texts and phone states '10 contacts available only' when trying to send more than 10 texts on the same conversation. Tried the obvious by checking the messaging settings and the Text message limit is already set to 200 messages per conversation; any variation on these settings does not allow more than 10 texts to be sent. Any ideas please? Many thanks.
Ok I had this before on my nexus but cannot remember how I fixed it.
I get an sms and it shows in notification but when I open the sms there are no text in the message. It just disappears.
And it happens in Hangout and Messenger.
What's the main sms process ? Want to see if I force stop and clear data if it will fix the problem
Thanks Rudolph
Does anybody know why this happens? I have the same issue but am not sure how to fix it.
Would really appreciate the help
Same issue here. Nexus 6 on Android N.
I have Hangouts as the default messaging app.
When I receive a text message, a heads up notification pops up but when I open hangouts the message is gone.
I also tried to switch to the Google Messenger app. In this case I can receive texts but I cannot send them...
Textra seems to work fine but it's not my cup of tea...
Anyone knows how to fix this, please?
Now it's getting even weirder.
It looks like whatever SMS I delete in Hangouts or Messenger gets restored after I close and reopen the app...
It looks like that whatever I do in Messenger or Hangouts goes nowhere and does nothing.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is why it is an alpha build and not really meant for day to day use.
Same issue here.
I searched old threads, and found there is a solution, just reboot to safety mode, and send a sms to yourself. Then reboot to normal...
However, it doesn't work for me.
I have just found what may have caused the issue (at least in my case) and it was entirely my fault.
I basically dirty flashed the N alpha on top of my previous 6.0.1 installation where I had made quite a few changes, instead of doing a clean installation.
That plus the fact that some SMS/MMS things have now changed in M (for example the telephony databases are no more stored in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony but are now under /data/user_de/0/com.android.providers.telephony ) may have messed up my system.
I've now done a clean installation and all seems to be fine with SMS in Hangouts for the time being.
Other small annoyances (mainly related to the cellular data connection) also seem to be gone now.
The SMS issue reappeared after some time (i.e. Incoming text messages are shown in notifications but they are not saved in Hangouts or Messenger).
After having done all sort of different tests, it looks like the issue may be related to a language setting.
The Android N alpha allows you to set two languages under Settings > Language & input > Language.
- With just one language enabled, all is fine.
- With 2 languages enabled, Hangouts and Messenger seem to work ok for some time, then the disappearing-SMS bug comes back. The only workaround I could find is to disable the second system language and reboot the phone.
I have tried a few SMS auto responders ... textdrive worked a few days ago but I noticed it didn't work last night ... it read email but nothing in SMS
Re install ...grant permission etc
Still nothing
Tried autoresponder which did not work either
Neither did drivemode
I was able to get tasker to notice a SMS message and to read who it was from
Am I missing a setting somewhere.?.. the only app I installed between textdrive working and not was shipmate for my cruise.
