Does anyone else have trouble sending gmail? I run cm6 and nfx hero when I feel like some sense, and my incoming mail gets pushed like it should but it won't send. Anyone know why? It won't send on either Rom. Thanks in advance.

Well, I've run into this. If you delete any outbox messages that are stuck (may not be necessary) and then clear data for gmail under manage applications, I believe that once it synchs back up you should be good.
*you'll probably have to do this in both Roms I would imagine.

I deleted the one that was stuck and cleared the data. Will see if that works. Thank you for the tip.

Anyone have this issue or know how to fix it. When I try to open up contacts it will send me back to the home screen and says "aab initializing" Never seen this before in any android so I'm kinda lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nevermind got it. It was caused by freezing the att apps.

Which AT&T app did you need to unfreeze to get contacts to work again?
I'm betting it was contact sync. I used to close that service all the time cause I didn't care if my contacts were being backed up by ATT. Turns out it was controlling my entire contact app.
Yeah it was the contact sync, if I remember correctly. Been so long since I was on the stock rom can't say for sure.

First off, I love my Bionic. It's awesome. I'm having problems with the stock SMS app and contact photos. I haven't been able to find a resolution after searching on Google and perusing the forums. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Elaborate on your problem. What is not working properly? Explain your issue more please and I'll try to help.

Sorry. Facebook contact photos show up in the contact and dialer apps, but not in the stock sms app. They also show up in Handcent. I'm not sure what to do..
Weird.
Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All>Text Messaging>Clear data
Try that and reboot.

I tried that, with no success.. Also I seem to hands been mistaken. Facebook contact photos only show up sporadically in contacts, and none show up in Text Messaging or in Go SMS Pro. I also have removed and added back my Facebook account. No solution as of yet.

UPDATE: It seems to be fixed after redoing the account setup. Facebook is slowly updating the photos. Thanks for your help!

The app is horrible especially with the stock keyboard. There is really no reason for this much screen to be taken up by the keyboard and text box. here is a screenshot of the stock app with Swype keyboard. you can see one message at most. http://i.imgur.com/ZhrM8rx.png
I've began just using the hangouts for mms with people. I'm not sure if this will work for everyone.
When I tried a couple other messaging apps that looked like stock 4.4 I started sending and receiving double messages. I really want to use another app because the stock version is horrible, but I'm resigned to using it right now until I can figure out how to fix this issue. It's probably my fault somehow, but it shouldn't be this difficult to figure out how to not send double messages constantly.
anyhow, the phone is awesome so far other than the messaging app.
does anyone know how to change the text size/messaging box in the stock messaging app? the settings were no help.
You could try hangout. That is what I am using now.

I actually had an issue with that when I first got it as well. I kinda just ignored it, until I got EvolveSMS. It has a small text window so the keyboard only takes up half the screen instead of 75% of it. Give it a try.
I like it. Just press back to read the entire convo

If you pinch or spread 2 fingers in the text box where you type it will enlarge or shrink the font size of the entire convo

hangouts FTW..
I just started using hangouts for my sms/mms also.. wondering though if there is a way to have the contacts app launch it for messages when I go into my contacts app? Or do I just have to start up hangouts all the time or maybe another contacts app that allows you to set what to launch into for messaging?
I'm using the EvolveSMS app.... It's a paid app tho...

Thanks for this. One of my gripes has been resolved.
I do love how it pops calls and texts on the screen in a bubble when you are in an app
Was just curious as to what messaging app most people was using and recommended. I like to find one that has pop up and possibly lock screen preview like the stock app. Any help or suggestions is much appreciated.

I love the stock messenger app, it has everything I need.
Go sms has pop up too if you prefer that.

For now, stock app until I find something I like better.
I was using Textra on my S3 but it didn't want to work well with kitkat so I went to hangouts. I think hangouts could be a really good app, but right now its terrible in the way its organized. Contacts are a mess to sort through, and every google account you have has the ability to send messages which makes things very difficult to manage if you end up sending messages from more than one.
I'm not a huge fan of the stock app...kind of ugly, but it works well.
I use Textra and I love it.
Thanks for the info. I will try out those. I liked the stock app but was getting lag using it. It want bad but bad enough to drive me nuts. Lol

I really liked the stock app until I imported all of my old texts from my I7777 and then the lag was unbearable. Nearly a 2 minute wait. Now I'm using Hangouts. Not as many features, but no lag.
Textra
EvovleSMS (this is the one I use)
HelloSMS
I tried all the popular ones...Go SMS, Textra, hello SMS, Hangouts, Evolve, etc. Hated all of them. I ended up sticking with chomp SMS. It's from the same developer that made biteSMS for the jailbroken iPhone, so I'm familiar with it. Plus, you can customize the theme to your liking. It has all the popular features: popups, quick reply/compose, delay sending, scheduled sending, privacy, etc.
Ever since my SGS 2, I always end up back with Textra. Black theme. Light, fast, actively developed and has all the necessary features. It's not overblown and just does it's job well.
I've been using Chomp for a long time and have been very happy with it. I've been trying out the stock messaging app for a few days, compared to past Samsung messaging apps, I'm impressed, but I'll probably be installing Chomp again soon...
Are there any messaging apps or themes for a messaging app that would make it flat? No matter how much I edit Chomp or Textra it just still doesn't look flat.

I use hangouts as my stock mainly because I can directly chat with my Google contacts. I have little reception where I live but still have WiFi so I can message my friends with android over a hangout instead of an SMS. I also very much like the layout and Android Emojis. I never liked textra, chomp, or handcent.

using stock messaging app here , rooted with twrp recovery , I have popup enabled when I get a msg and phone is locked (swipe to unlock set) I click the msg but then the phone lags at the lock screen ,and hangs. anyone else having problems with this ? or know a way to correct it ?
to get out of it I have to swipe to unlock then open up the messaging app it wont let me click the msg I got from the lock screen .
Was using ChompSMS but was getting a bit slow, switched to EvolveSMS but it's still really buggy, using Textra now. Slim, fast, quick reply / compose and not bogged down with tons of settings. Simple theme & emoji setup too. Be sure to download Textra emojis from app store.
since we are discussing the messaging apps, has anyone been getting random message alerts on old messages in the stock app? Phone was sitting on the counter last night charging and I heard it go off. Came out to find an alert for a message from tuesday that had already been read. Had this happen once before as well...alert on a previous read message. Never seen anything like it
From the sound of your needs, it seems like the stock app would suit your needs best. Why not use it? I don't really understand why some people seem to force themselves to use third party apps if the native ones work fine. :what:
