I just installed the new "official" CM10.1 nightlies and everything is working great. The only thing that I've noticed is that in Settings > Status my phone number is "Unknown". When I go into Phone>Settings>Additional Settings>My Phone Number, I can set my number and it works fine. BUT, it won't survive a reboot. It just goes back to unknown after it's rebooted.
Having the number set in phone status allows group messaging to work so I would like to know, is there any ways to get these settings to save? Do I need to go to At&t and have them set the number on the SIM?
I tried to download "My Phone Number" in the Play store and I get the error "Application cannot be installed in the default install location."
Thanks!
I can confirm that I have it as unknown as well. My VM number was missing too that I entered manually but this is weird. Hope it gets resolved in the next update. I love how snappy the phone is though

Same here, but I can live with that for now. I tried quite a few of the other ROM,s , but they tended to have little glitches... this has been quite good so far.

Yeah this one has been great, only a few little glitches. I just want to get group messaging to work and everything will be perfect and I won't have to use stupid Go SMS or one of those ugly messaging apps. Really all I need is to get setting that my phone number setting to save.
So I think I actually fixed this! My number is being displayed after a couple reboots and the group messaging option is there in messaging settings.
This is what I did:
First you gotta install this Xposed framework apk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Then just hit install/update then reboot.
Now install this Xposed mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106490
Install it, then go back into the xposed framework app, go to the modules tab, and check off the SIM number changer then go back and reboot.
When rebooted, go back into the app and tap the SIM number changer to change your number. Obviously I put my number down, I'm not sure how risky it is putting any other number in there. Now tap change it, then go to reboot again.
I have rebooted a few times and my number is still there under 'My Phone Number' in Phone Status. Try it out if you're having the same problems.

i seem to be having a slight issue with double sms notifications.2 different icons showing i have messages.im using the stock android client so im getting that icon but im also getting what looks to be handcent icon.which i am not using.not even on my phone.i have completely wiped twice and reloaded everything.have run 2 different nightlys.not sure if it makes any difference but im also running paid version of launcher pro.wanted to give it a try.if this has been resolved elsewhere and i missed it i apologize but when i searched i didnt see anything related to nexus and froyo.
thanks
What happens if you tap on the unwanted notification?
It opens up to the messages same as stock icon
Go pick up handcent on the market disable notifications reboot and then uninstall it in settings. Should go away.
Ok,I will try that.thanks
That got it.thank you. Any idea why it started doing that even after 2 wipes?
As I have gone along here I have figured out that "complete wipes" are actually far from it. Another gotcha is that there can be detritus on the sd that comes back to haunt you with various apps depending on what they cache there.
For some reason, my Handcent app will at least once per day display its release notes when opened as if I just installed it, and any changes I made to its settings will be reset. This is particularly annoying because I use custom notification tones for different contacts & for new texts in general. What could be the issue? It's not set to autoupdate.

App updates through the market don't mess with your saved data/app settings, so that's probably not it. The next time it happens, uninstall/reinstall the app and see if that helps. Do this through the market, not from a Titanium Backup batch or anything similar. Also, I believe Handscent has an option to back up all of your user settings. The next time you have to reconfigure everything, make a backup of your settings. At the very least, it will save you a hell of a lot of time until you figure out what the problem is.

I reinstalled it like you suggested. I also tried reinstalling via EasyUninstaller. Neither fixed the problem.
Also, to backup the settings, you have to be a premium user.
The only thing I can think that would have affected the app is I installed a custom theme for it. It wasn't a theme from within the app itself, but a mod a user had made to change the keyboard color and some other things. I thought I had uninstalled it, though. I installed it via AppsInstaller with the apk being on my sd card. I'll try to find the thread I got the apk from.
OK, here it is: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/team-fusion/34058-release-themed-handcent.html
What Rom are you running? Stock Captivate or ?. Some roms cause this issue, resets the app (s) for some reason. I've had the issue on a few other apps but not handcent. I also registered the app, might make a difference.

I'm running Darkys 7.0.1 port, if you've heard of it. It's VERY nice on appearance and battery life, but this problem just sucks!
Would registering it fix the problem? I don't want to pay $3 just to remove the ad bar.
There is a free registration. Not sure if that will fix the problem but hell, it's free and saves your settings.
I have restored handcent using TiBu for at least the last 10 rom flashes, app + data and never had a problem, just did it this morning when going to Perception 9.5, and every things is working fine, logged in and it restored all my theme settings, preferences, etc.
That's with the free registration. Quote from them " Register free handcent account, get online quicktext and online themes services"
Other thing is, are you running the latest update? Every update has always fixed any issue I was having with the program.
Saw this: "with the new version of Handcent just released and it seems to break handcent even after resigning the app. " From the link you posted.
I've been messing around with my SGT SCH-1800, I've had no problems wiping it, flashing it, etc. I checked out SpaceMoose's alpha port of Honeycomb last night (gah, that theme is DARK).
I reflashed back to stock and restored my backed up apps, no biggie. My issue is, I forgot to unroot before attempting to install the EC02 update and it failed, and now my SGT says it's already up to date when I know damn well it's not. I know it'll check again in 3-4 days but I'd like the update now so I can reroot.
On the internet there's a hint that allows you to force an update check by dialing #*#*CHECKIN*#*# in the dialer, but since I've got the neutered US version, the dialer is disabled. Is there any way to either a) enable the use of the dialer even though I can't and do not intend to actually make calls or b) trigger the update check some other way?
Thanks in advance.
Funny, never heard of the checkin.
Ps it's the other way around" *#*#checkin#*#*
Mine gave only "checkin succeeded" in the not.bar.
Try T9-dialer app from the market.

Wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I got my Nexus 4 (Yeah!), started it up, logged into my google acct, everything started downloading/restoring from google. I checked out the Messaging app and settings, and noticed a "group messages" setting. Sweet!!! But then I got a system update notification. I obviously installed it. After installing it, I used gobackup pro to restore my messaging threads. NOT THE APP, just the threads. Checking the settings again, the "group messages" setting was gone! Just gone! Not sure if it was the system update, or the thread restore, but I am perplexed. I've done 2 factory resets since, but the setting is still gone. Messaging ver. is 4.2-57622 or something like that (don't have the phone with me at the moment.) I'm guessing it had to do with the system update, and that is why it's still not there after the factory resets, but, I really have no idea. I am stock, no root, or unlocked bootloader. Stock, pure stock (the reason I bought a nexus device). Any help or related info would be greatly appreciated! I've searched everywhere, and seem to be the only one with this issue. Any screenshots of anyone else's messaging settings running that app version would help too. Thanks
You'd probably get more help if this was in the Q&A section.

Man, I'm confused. I have no idea what happened. The group part is totally omitted from mine. I've tried to reinstall the app, but can't get very far without root. Thank you for the screenshot. At least I know that the setting isn't just hidden in the Ota update.
Have you tried the reset settings to default option? Or clearing the data for the messaging app?

Yeah, done both. One thing someone just said in another thread, isit may be carrier dependent, and the OTA update hides the setting unless your carrier supports it. Being as I have only played with the phone on wifi just to make sure I am happy with it and don't want to return it,(as it is a christmas present ) I'm starting to wonder if that is my problem. I have no sim installed, so the settings may be hidden until you pop a sim in and the phone recognizes that your carrier supports it.
It randomly downloads and resets all my screens and set up. What is causing this?
Thanks
Try going to settings/apps/sprint id/force stop
I would factory reset it and try it all again.
The next time you get the notification, long press it in your drop down, click app info. When the sprint id screen comes up, uncheck notifications in the upper right corner. I never installed the sprint id, that's where all the bloat comes from.

I had the same issue. Here's how I stopped it while also preventing it from using up background resources.
Open up Settings->Apps
Swipe over to "ALL"
Find "Sprint Installer"
Disable it
Never be prompted by it again
This is what I did too.. .was annoyed like anything when it wiped off my screensaver and all the apps I put n homescreens
All good now

I tried this and upon restart, the message returned. In Running Apps, Sprint ID lists Sprint Installer as a service being used, and I assume this is how this Default Config continues to be presented to me. I can stop Sprint ID as well, but it all goes back into service upon restart. Any other ideas?
