[Q] a valid address is required - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After Gingerbread install when I get a text message from one of my contacts (some work fine) I cannot reply, the sender isn't listed and this is displayed in the reply box (which is greyed out):
"A valid address is required to send this message."
????
Thanks

There seem to be no solution for this.

A valid address is required to send this message
I bought an Atrix 4G on 9-1-2011 from AT&T store Jacksonville, FL. Began receiving this message on ONE (1) text ... whenever I get a text from this one user in IL, I cannot reply as no reply info is available in the data packet.
ALL other texts, so far, have the reply info and I can reply & they can reply to my texts.
AT&T Customer Service was NO help ... most of the CSR-s had no idea what this message was about and even the Tech Support had no idea.
We did these things:
* deleted all text chains
* deleted the contact completely
* reset the phone to factory specs
* imported all contacts except the offending contact
* manually re-entered the contact
NO good - still got the message
As of 9/14/2011, AT&T gave me a new phone thinking maybe a hardware error.
NOPE. Still has the error.
Now convinced error is in the 2.3.4 operating system so must wait on the "highly responsive" Google crowd to fix it. Not holding my breath. Despite what a bunch of folks say, I think the Apple i4 and soon to be i5 phones are the better choice --- Google is scrambling to keep up with Apple & over time will fail for more glitches than Apple.
If anyone has a fix for this condition, please let me know.
Everyone have a great day.

Those are some bold words for your first post on a forum for discussing an Android phone. I like how you state your end conclusion without any kind of logical thought patterns. I do however agree with you that the Apple phone is prob the best choice for YOU. And btw I use Android & iOS and wouldnt give up either.
Edit: for the lulz..

One of the Rom kernel combos I tried fixed this but not the one I am on currently. (and I don't remember which one) The contact where this is a problem has an older phone.
It is a little bit of a nuisance but not nearly enough to turn me into an apple fanboy My daughter has a 4g and I have no use for that phone....

Amazing - I ask a simple questiion at the end - and get a sarcastic response from a senior member of the thread. BTW - I DID contact Google after posting, and their reply was it is a known bug but not worth immediate fix - perhaps in a future release. Go Android !!! Hey - I bought long term options on BOTH Google and Apple ... it's just a phone, not my life. And I have made quite a bit of money from BOTH companies to enjoy my life better - which I am doing. Suggest you try it too.

It might be that you need an area code. Call me crazy but I think this happened to me way back, and the way I resolved it was adding an area code to make it a 10 digit number.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk

I tried the area code and even a 1 before the number but it didn't work for me.
I wonder if this new free cloud messaging app will fix it:

[APP] Auto Dialer .... V11 Redialer option added plus minor update

I usually sit in the Kaiser forum but I thought I'd post this here for a change.
I have a few mates who occasionally like to get drunk and then phone me in the middle of the night to tell me just how drunk they really are. To stop them I decided to hit them hard and show them who's the boss when it comes to phones, so I wrote the ZM Dialer. It's a program that'll automatically dial the specified phone, when you want, how many times you want, and for how long you want. They now think twice before dicking about!
Number = Number to dial (don't forget to put the withhold your number code if you want to stay anonymous)
Max Dials = Maximum amount of phone calls
Delay Before Dialing = Seconds delay before the phone starts dialing... ie the program won't activate until XXXX seconds time.
Connect Time = Seconds from start of dialing to ending the call ... 10 seconds is good for mobile to mobile.
Dialing Interval = Seconds between dials ....
CheckBoxes.
Terminate Dialing of Answer Detect = To minimise cost and it's pointless to irritate the persons voicemail, This is ticked as default as if the 'far end' answers, the program detects it, hangs up and stops dialing and deactivates 'Stay Awake' (second picture)..... it monitors SystemProperty.PhoneCallTalking if you're intereasted.
SpeakerPhone On = Activates the speaker automatically on every call.
Keep Awake = Stops the phone hibernating, once it's reached the max dials, this will untick and the phone will hibernate.

**** Version Update ..... Version 7 released ****
Many thanks to smotrs for CAB'ing it up for us!!! Just drop the CAB on the phone and it'll install the dialer into Program Files. Thanks smotrs!!!
Left a 'return' in a strange place .... all fixed.
Added in the contact list browser, 141 indicated the withhold number code for the UK, click the '+' to open choose a contacts mobile number from your address list.... in the example the number dialed would be 1410007.
**** V9 Update ****
As requested by smotrs ... version 9 now remembers the withhold code and phone number from the previous session .. this is held in the 'dialer.txt' file in the same location as the program and reloaded on startup.
Zip files also been changed and the V9 CAB will put it in My Device\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\
Just drop the exe anywhere on the phone you like.
**** V10 Update - Major Fix plus redialer update ****
As requested by BallGor and a few others, you will now see a 'Work as redialer' option. When ticked the program will continuously dial the number and the STOP the program when the calls answered, leaving the call active.
I learnt something tonight ... I didn't think the phone could tell the difference between an engaged tone and a voice path ... luckily it does!! The phone only reports a connected state when there's a two way speech path. This means that in Redailer mode, it'll keep dialing until the far end phone is answered.
The major update is I reworked the way the program stays awake by changing it from a simulated keypress to the 'SystemIdleTimerReset' method, eliminating the phone going mental IF the dialer was placed in the background (It used to keep pressing the button, even though it didn't have focus).
Install the CAB and the program will appear in Program Files.
**** V11 Update - Minor update ****
As requested by a few people on page 9, I've dropped the minimum dialing interval from 8 seconds to 1.
Cheers
Phil
PS It's also handy if you're are in the telecomms industry and have to do test calls, looking for a certain call scenario, like silent calls etc but it's much more fun to irritate your mates.
Please note .... it costs nothing to 'ring' a mobile or landline ... charges are only incurred if the far end answers, and if they do, the application stops and alerts the user the call was answered.
Developers with a sense of humour!
Any chance of having it have a contact picker control, I'm slightly too lazy to go through my contacts and remember numbers my self...
Thanks for this, and anyone on my contacts list better get ready!
I spend all week writing sensible stuff .... got to have a laugh occasionally... I've fired off hundreds of calls today.
Hopefully have a new version that'll allow you to either type a number or pick a contact tomorrow.
Cheers
Phil

lol great app, i like it keep it up
This app is surely one of the many interesting apps I have encountered, but while its uselful for your purpose. I could suggest to make it into a "redial" app? That redials any busy number and not necessarily a specified one? With options where it could pop up if a call dialled is not answered and check if one would want it redialed automatically after a specified/configurable time span? It could also have a Today screen plug-in. The only redial app available right now is the Free version at pocketmax.net but it doesn't have certain options. Just my suggestion.
very cool ap!!!
Minor update .... I missed out a 'null' event.
As for the redialer idea ... i'll have a look around the web to see if theres anything else out there that can do the job... I'm sure there must be.

All aboard the bus to hell!!!
PS .... the 3.2 update was I forgot to make it so it cant be used against me.... it now can't dial my number.
I've just updated the program to version 7, I've improved the 'Terminate dialing on answer' so it'll now automatically hang up instantly, before it would take about a second to hang up.
Cheers
Phil
Everytime I update the program I lose my download stats, it must be near 200 actual now ... so I'm going for the sneaky tactics to get a few more downloads!
I don't know if your tactic is working, cuz I can't get off of page to,to go dl it now. hehe
Thanks, For a cool program.. T M Z
Hi ... cheers for your comment.
Can you let us know if it works on your phone .... I've had 250 odd downloads but nobodies said if it works on their phone or not.

[APP] GotYa! (take pic of thief w/ FFcam) UPDATE

UPDATE:
I got a reply back from the dev..
I'll have a look to your request, but it seems your fingerprint unlock isn't part of the android framework though. If you have any hints or heard about any SDK, 'ill implement this
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Does anybody know about a SDK for the fingerprint scanner?
Hello all!
Today I found the app "GotYa! face the thief" on XDA. I went ahead and bought the full app so I could test it (hopefully to report back to the community that it is working on the Atrix). I have good news, it works great! Even tho there is a warning about compatibly with Froyo devices, I experienced no problems in my 15min / 3pic / email test run. This is how the app works: Tell it how many times to allow an incorrect log in (if any) before the front facing camera takes a pic of the phone thief and emails it to you with the location of the phone. The email part is optional, the app itself will also alert you of a failed log in attempt once you have successfully unlocked your phone, showing you the picture(s) it took during the "breach". So basically you can even use it to see if a friend picks up your phone.
I tested the fingerprint lock. A failed finger print swipe itself does NOT count as a failed log in attempt, so keep that in mind. I have emailed the dev to ask if he can correct this, and I will update this post when I get a response from him. However, I think that is petty in comparison to the benefits of this app. Obviously any thief is going to try the pattern lock as soon as he sees his fingerprint is not unlocking your phone, and as soon as the pattern lock is failed - You have a pic of his face and location. In addition to these features there are other "SMS triggers" and such.. On the Atrix choose "EXIF rotation - 90". The app is $1.99.
So enjoy this app, I have been waiting a while for something like this and I am sure several of you have too!

@OP: Great find i just bought it!
Looks like a good app. Purchased the full version and will test out!
*update*
Very neat app. Set it up and it's working good with WidgetLocker. Gonna test it a bit more just to be on the safe side though.
I bought it, and after 5 minutes of setting up I tested. Received an email with picture and location within 1 minute of failed logon attempts. Works perfectly!
Location request SMS doesn't appear to work, but I have to check my settings for that.
Yep, looks like it works as advertised. Pretty awesome that it not only sends the location info but snaps a picture of any limey bastards that try to jack our phones!!
I almost want someone to steal mine now lol

I like it as well.... however I would like it a lot more if you could set a password to unlock the actual program on case they do somehow gain access to the phone. This app is nice!

I thought that'd be good as well. I'm just going to hide it from my app drawer.
This would be a good recommendation to the dev. Or perhaps having another way of loading the app through certain key presses or a hidden shortcut, etc.
as far as i've seen the FP scanner is closed hardware and not open to developers yet.
I just bought the app too now.
Anyone else have any issues configuring the email alerts? (I already emailed the dev about it, he will look into it.)
I've tried two different servers (both without SSL/TLS).
Both fail showing unable to connect. I ran a tcpdump from my firewall, and here are the two errors I see.

I have had no issues with receiving emails. In fact you can end up receiving too many. I was getting one every time I unlocked! LOL
Been playing with KP's 2.3.4, so haven't reinstalled it yet.
Concerning the "too many emails", don't forget you can now set up a threshold on failed login before captures !

Wasn't on failed login. I got a "homescreen accessed" email every time I unlocked.
I appreciate the updates, very helpful!
Regarding too many emails, glad the thresh hold is there. But I almost thought it'd be worth it to create a security email address solely for this program. Email space is nearly infinite and I'd rather get extra emails as opposed to compromised security.
Works great though! Love this program.
If the thief has any brains all he had to do is hard wipe the phone...lol

<edit> Oh, and I have had trouble getting the SMS Remote to work. Maybe I am not using it correctly, but I checked the #whereareyou# box, and when I text from my wife's phone #whereareyou#, I just get that as a text message on my Atrix.

Yay, worked for me too . Dead dead easy, it's just an automated bot so it's not like you're talking with someone. I just gave my name and my number and they gave the code and the code works great! Great thread!

[Q] sms forwarding on GT7500

I was looking for an sms forwarder for my galaxy tab - to send messages to my phone so i don't miss them
On market place there are several such apps - but non of them compatible with the GT7500.
Anyway I contacted a developer of one of the non compatible ones called "sms forwarding". He forwarded me the apk which i have installed and it works fine.
If anyone wants the file I could send you the details of the developer - or ask his/her permission to up load it.
Alternatively does anyone know of an officially "compatible" sms forwarder?
PhoneLeash ought to work for you as well (see this thread)
(I am the dev btw!)
PVS
Can't download it on market. Says "Incompatible phone" *lol*
Looks like we have a challenge! I'll see if there is an emulator for the GT7500 and try to figure out what's happening. By the way, what apps _do_ run on your device?
I have a P7510(wifi) and it installs fine for me. I know its no use on this one without 3g(only the opposite way) but at least it can be installed..
Looks nice, thanks!
Hi - sorry for the delay responding.
I found your product on the market place fine searched "phone leash"
It installed fine and works great - excellent product thanks!
Suggestion: The product has the option to send to sms or email - how about to both?
cheers
-Pete

Thanks for trying ... we've been thinking about supporting WiFi-only devices for PhoneLeash's "phone" finding features (obviously SMS forward doesnt have any application). Do you use any such app today for your P7510? I assume it lacks a GPS.
A request - PhoneLeash sends bootup and shutdown notifications to email. I am really curious to know if at least these work on your device.

Hi - sorry for the delay responding.
I found your product on the market place fine searched "phone leash"
It installed fine and works great - excellent product thanks!
Suggestion: The product has the option to send to sms or email - how about to both?
cheers

Hey thats great news! If I understand your device correctly - it can SMS but no phone?
Sending to both SMS and email at the same time is pretty simple to do. Will certainly think about it ... is this just so you can see the forwarded notifications on whatever is in front of you -- phone or PC?
Thanks

Yes i have a GT7500 - it has sms/data but no phone app provided. I understand that the hardware has phone capability and some devs are trying to realize this but no apps so far.
Why SMS and Email: I forward all sms's from my tab to my phone so i can react to them if i haven't got my tab with me. I consider sms's to be transient in that its impossible to save them permanently. If they are forwarded to my email then I can filter them off and store the important ones "permanently"
cheers

Understand. If your phone is Android, then you could also have PhoneLeash on your phone (forwarding to email this time). PhoneLeash can also export texts to email (all texts on a given date). Result looks like this (threads are maintained as best as possible)

duuhh good point - why didn't i think of that
Would be still useful to do it all from my Galaxy tab though - if you ever get around to that.

Try http://bit.ly/phoneleash
removed from the sms response to last sender?
Is there a paid for version?
I can't use the above for work
cheers

@Pete - I assume you are using the latest version from the Market. If you provide a rating (review would be even better) you can unlock the signature field and delete or change it. Its all written on the first (and only) screen
We will likely make it a paid for trialware soon, for all you early adopters--thank you-- everything comes free!

URGENT: 2 Serious issues with i777. A Possible Breach and Incompatibility issue

Hey guys,
I been pretty happy with my S2 i777 which i got from US this Jan.
Currently residing in India and after getting it factory unlocked, i been using it flawlessly on my Indian carrier without any issues.
But of late i have noticed 2 problems, both with varying degrees of seriousness..
1) I casually accessed the playstore via pc and was reading up on few apps when i noticed there has been a T-Mobile Samsung GT-N7000 added to my account. (Do Check the first screenshot, the green one taken from the green tab on playstore page's left side which you expand by clicking on the '+' sign. )
Now i have never used a T Mobile phone ever and this is India where i am residing, so the probability of accessing is even more remote.
Infact, i have till date not even touched a Note mobile!
a) Any ideas what lead to that entry in my playstore's affliated device section ?
b) What precautions should i take to get the account/phone/xyz secure from my end. Present and for future??
2) I read about few apps which people were using and i proceeded to check the compatibility for one such app.. Oddly, all the affiliated devices were shown as greyed out. The msg being
This item cannot be installed in your device's country. (Check the second screenshot, the yellow one)
Now
a) Is this because i am not in USA while using the i777 / Supposed T Mobile model ?
b) How do i check the actual compatibility, circumnavigating the country specific restriction aside?

Obvious couple of questions...Have you let anyone else use your google account ? Or left your account login and password where someone could have easily got the info and used it...a family member, friend, etc. ?

Nope. I never leave my account unattended.
Secondly, the chances are even more slim as the device dubiously added is on T Mobile. I havent been to US, nor have i got any acquaintance here in India with that brand's Note.
i am sure your acc may have been hacked by someone
and yes you can search the internet for a specific app's Apk if you want it
I also reside in india and have i777 so i have a question
Which Kernel did u flash while rooting ? and did u experience any problem like getting ur phone locked to att after flashing a rom or kernel ?
also
i777 is Made for/by/in partnership with At&t so there is no way of getting a connection of T-Mobile with it.
I think it may be a glitch in you rom which showed up your phone as a wrong model on playstore
You may try to login to your Google Play account. Go to My Account > Settings. From there, it'll give you the info on "all" your devices, like when it was registered. Maybe it will give you some ideas.
If you think your account has been hacked, change the password and enable the 2-Step Verification. Maybe you've already done that. Just a thought. Good luck!

I never said anything about i777 getting activated on T Mobile network.
For any other OT, take pm route pls.

I have changed the password already mate.
And the entries are pretty strange in my account.
The T Mobile note's entry activation time is mentioned but not the last used one. The activation time is in March but i dont think there was any chance of getting it activated due to my ignorance/slip up.
My own Sgh i777's Registeration time is mentioned as 3rd march whereas i had been using it since January.
The last used entry for i777 is messed up as well, claiming it as 20th march, n this is my reg phone.
1) Does play store take a long time to register the phone with new operator etc ?
2) If i request Google, will they supply me the info/confirm whether the T Mobile's note is being still used or not? Or something like the IMEI number .. they surely must have got some info on that...

#1 It should be really quick as far as I can remember. My 2nd device, Nexus 7, showed up in minutes!
#2 Don't know about that. I won't hurt to give it a try but my experience with Google Customer Service wasn't that good.
