[Q] Messaging issues? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ever since upgrading to KK4 (Fusion XII) I have noticed a lot of problems with my messaging app. Lots of force closing without any force close notification, while replying to messages the repy message I am creating vanishes, and also when opening messaging usually it takes a while for contact names to show instead of their number.
I have been using the Gingerbread keyboard since upgrading. Happens on all kernles that I have used so far, which are, the kernel that comes with Fusion XII, Corn, and Samurai.
Is this a general KK4 issue, or more to do with the ROM I'm using?
I have seen a post about this somewhere, but never remember seeing any response to it. Also couldn't find it again, or I would've mentioned it on that thread.

Happens to me all the time. Im on serenity

Got fed up with the messaging issue so much that I went back a few builds, and using one of my favorites. I am now currently running crt60's Legend KJ1, with no tweaks, and no problems with messaging at all.
Still no idea what was causing the problems?

MoDaCo Desire ROM - MMS force closing issues

Forgive me if this is obviously listed somewhere. I've done quite a few searches and still can't seem to find any information about this.
While using the MoDaCo Desire ROM I've run across an issue that sadly seems to warrant me to stop using it: Regardless of using the stock SMS app or the HTC SMS application I receive force closing for MMS while attempting to read my messages. Using the HTC application I can't even view my messages from the beginning. It is like some MMS message has been que'd and attempts to load only to FC.
Does anyone know a fix? I've looked into using other SMS/MMS applications but they're not really the answer for me.
Beyond that, MoDaCo's ROM is quite nice and I would enjoy using it further.

did you restore a ton of older text messages? i recall reading this might contribute to the FC problem. also, did you install any Morphs, themes, etc.? maybe roll back to a nandroid backup without the themes to see if that helps.

[Q] Not Receiving Texts

I haven't received any texts for over a week now. I was running CyanogenMod 6.1 and tried multiple times to reboot/re-flash/wipe to no avail. Yesterday I flashed to CM7 and still no luck. Anyone have any ideas?
Am I the only one who sees a new post with this topic at least once a week? Too bad there's not a search option on xda. /end rant
Nandroid, flash a Sense based ROM, update profile & PRL, confirm that you can send & receive SMS, restore your nandroid.

Flash a sense rom, update your profile and prl. Send and receive a few text. Flash back to cm.
I haven't had this issue but it's worked for some. Task killers or removing the messaging apk because you use a 3rd party app would be another couple of common things

Or do what he said

Sorry for the annoyance, but thanks for helping me out. It seems to be working now, though I couldn't restore my nand backup for some reason. Oh well.
SMS compatibility issues
I am having what I believe to be compatibility issues with my hero. When my friends send me those annoying mass MMS's with video or something moving in the message all I get is the first still frame of whatever the video is. What could be the problem? I am using CM6 stable.
The problem is their mms and cm. You can view it on the sprint picture site or some you can save to sd by long pressing the message and view from there

[Q] [Swype] Email bug - inserts deleted words

Using the latest version of the Swype beta, 3.26.92D.36178.t0.
I'm wondering if this is a Captivate issue, since I've checked it on my friends' phones and they don't have this problem.
When using the stock email client (not Gmail) and Swype, I keep getting an issue where words I just deleted keep popping back into the text area. If I keep backspacing, I can get a whole string of the deleted words. I can force it to stop by selecting the entire word (long press) and cutting it, but this is annoying. Has anyone else experienced this?
I have exact same issue. I am on apex 9.3.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
This just started happening to me, too.. Though I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S2.. Latest Swype, and only in the Email app (for Exchange/IMAP email). Works fine everywhere else.
Turn off word suggestion the swype preferences.
thanks that works!
I have the same on Galaxy S2 as well - this workaround has fixed it for me! Cheers!

Can't open links in sms application?

Got a bit of an odd one for you guys. My girlfriends phone has exactly the same set up as me (phone rom kernel) but I have no issues at all. No matter what I do I cant open links from within her messages app (phone numbers / web addresses ect ) If I use a third party app like handscent it works fine but tbh I would much prefer the stock app. I have tried fresh installs, updates clearing data ect but no luck. Just about to try a completely different rom with a modded messaging app to see if it works. Any ideas?
Ended up just using a 3rd party sms application as it seems I am the only one with this issue. No issues after go sms install

I am having the same issue (Post Android 4 update). Does anyone know how to fix it?
If you look like on the xda portal... You'll find the way to take out htclinkify...
I would assume it has to do with that...

Text message app problems

I have a couple of problems with the text message app.
First, there are a couple of conversations that will crash the phone. I believe they may have to do with the amount of texts in the conversation (one is my sister and one is my girlfriend and those are the people I text the most). If I try to open either one of their conversations, the app will freeze up for a good minute or two. I can force close it but other than that, it's unresponsive. However, if I first open a different conversation and then go back and open the lengthier one, it will work just fine. Has anybody had this issue?
Second problem is that many times when I open a conversation, the app starts at the top (at the oldest text first) and I have to manually scroll to the bottom to see the latest texts.
Neither are a real serious problem but the crashing of the app when opening the lengthier conversations is very annoying.
I am rooted on the stock ROM but I have had these problems even before I rooted and even though I'm rooted, I haven't made any changes to anything (I rooted but have been unable to install a custom ROM due to my firmware).

Try using hangouts(google's texting app).
I use it and it works, runs smooth, and looks great
Give Hangouts a try first but I had to switch to the app Textra because MMS sporadically worked for me on Hangouts. I hope they have an updated material version of Hangouts when the rest of the material GAPPS arrive.
