No Handcent notification (on Elelinux 7.1) - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
When i receive a sms, sometimes handcent doesn't notifiy me (no sms notification icon, no sound and no vibration), and sometimes it does. I didn't notice any special situation in which it notifies me or not.
Have you ever noticed this behaviour? Do you have a solution?
Thanks

I am not having that problem... try looking in the Messaging app and see in the settings if the Notification for sms is checked.

I checked the notification setting, it was activated.
Sent from my Hero using XDA App

strange .. I didn't experience your issue, I receive about 10-15 sms a day. I've just sent 5 sms from another phone to myself within 30 minutes and I received notifications for all of them. Try reflashing the rom on top the one u have first wiping cache and dalvik-cache and see if the problem persists over the next days.

I made all wipes every time i flashed roms. I have this problem since at least the first time i've used an elelinux rom, v3.1 and v3.6, i'm not sure the problem appeared before or not - before elelinux, i used original cyanogen roms, several builds of 6.1 and 7.1 roms.
However, i don't think the problem comes especially from elelinux rom because i made a test : i activated sms notifications in both handcent and original android sms program to make a test. Result : original sms program always notified me of sms reception while handcent sometimes did, sometimes didn't.
If i don't find any way to solve that problem, i'll try to find a program that only aims at notifying the user of sms reception and redirecting him to the sms program of his choice.
Thank you.

it is happening due to handcent app. i had that problem it will only resolve with a clean installation of handcent app or try to reset all settings, if it didnt work use another sms app. because i have sms tone problem with handcent app sometimes it beeps sometimes it rings whatever its all handcent error now a days i have LED problem with it. try some thing else

Ok, i removed then installed it. Now i'll see how it behaves.
Until now, i reinstalled it from backup ((app and data) using TitaniumBackup each time i flashed a new rom.
Thank you

There's no difference.
I activated notifications of both handcent and the original SMS program. The problem seems to appear with original program too. Sometimes they both notify me of sms reception, sometimes only one of both, sometimes none... :'(

[Q] Random Missing Texts

So this is an issue that I have seen many a variation on, but none quite like this. The issue is that some texts from folks I receive fine others are sporadic. It seems to vary from day to day and person to person. I can receive a text from someone and respond then not get any other from that person after. Others I gave been able to receive from in the past but do not receive now. I am running GSB 2.2 with the latest vzw radio for the Eris (2.42.01.04.27), using GO sms with the stock messenger installed, but notifications turned off. I've tried a reflash, Full wipe and Flash, *22899, APN backup from a 2.1 rom, tried the spn provided by roirraW "edor" ehT no change. This has happened with chomp also. I am at a loss. It's a shame, because work shed has made a awesome phone out of my little Eris. Any thoughts?
Missing Texts solved
After some experimentation on my part I have discovered that as GoSMS states in its help section, you can remove the stock application but is not recommended. That'll teach me to read more closely before removing apps . So a heads up for all you GOSMS users out there. leave the stock app installed. I have had zero issues with texts since I updated to a newer version of GSB, which reinstalled the stock sms app.

[Q] Incoming MMS shrink on certain custom ROMs

Anytime I flash a custom rom other than CM7, my incoming MMS messages shrink to about 23kb. ALLLL incoming MMS, even those I send to myself.
They show as being 128k, but when downloaded shrink.
I'm on T-mobile usa and the problem seems to be that the handset is not recognized on the T-mo usa network.
As soon as I flash CM7 the problem is solved because of the "custom user agent" setting in the messaging app.
I'd stick with CM7, but it doesn't have wifi calling
Is there any way to change the sms useragent in other ROMS?
Or has anyone else encountered this issue and found a solution?
And I'm 99.9% sure the isn't APN related, in case that comes up.
Thanks in advance!
same here
has anyone found anything? have the same problem, i'm on openOptimus build 2.202.1 and i read Gosms can fix it! not sure.. about to try it out but not a big fan of it! i use handcent sms but problem is still there!
i guess i'm stuck with GoSMS lol! i installed it and i'm happy to report that pics come at full size!!

[Q] SMS and Call forwding Apps stop working in X10 2.3.3

I used the X10 to forward sms/calls notification to my HTC phone via SMS. The apps like "The Operator" and "Phone Control" works in X10 2.1 before but since I updated to 2.3.3 the apps fails to work after 1 notification message.
I rebooted the X10 and activated the sms/call forward apps. Again try to simulate a missed call to the phone. The first missed call notification is forwarded. Subsequently the X10 refuse to send out SMS. Then I cannot even manually send sms on the X10. The sms application just hanged there with message "sending..". Need to reboot again before the sms function is working again.
It is important for me to have the sms/call forwarding function as I don't like to carry 2 phones.
Any one with the same problem?
Thinking of downgrade to 2.1
I do have a similar situation... I have a Xperia X10 and with any application I have the described problem. Just manually sending SMS works grate. If one of the apps is sending a message then no other messages are sent until I restart the phone. I have tried different apps and did do a few factory resets. I had no problems on Android 2.1, everything started after upgrading to 2.3.

I use Go SMS Pro apps (all free)for all sms/email (except Gmail/Google Voice stuff) /phonebook stuff works good, Have had for about six month now has all the stuff that you need to do an more. Although the Emoji with Emoji pulg-in only works if all you send too have the app other wise you are the only one that sees emoticons they will see the standard icons.

Also you can setup your Google voice/chat/mail as your forwarding number to send to all your numbers cells as(text/voice/video mail)/land-line as voice mail/Google Chrome all the above of coarse and it's all free to.
On my x10a 2.3.3 Generic/Rooted with some tweaks/apps/build props
Have you tried dgAway. I've been using it on 2.1,2.3 and now on custom rom.
It works flawlessly but be careful if the target phone is not on. A sms loop will happen.
It is not a question of SMS application... The SMS is working ok as long as there is no APP that will try to send automatically an SMS. I did install a different SMS client App but I guess the applications are using the Android API's so it is probably why this is still failing.
As the initial post said, the APP is sending the first SMS message but then nothing else. Also the SMS is working properly if manually sending them before that first automatic message. As soon as an automatic message is sent all other manual attempts to send SMS messages are failing. The messages are remaining in "sending" state until the phone will be rebooted. Following the reboot all manually SMS messages that were in "sending" status are being sent.
Hope this clears the problem definition!
Does anyone know if there is a bug in the version 2.3.3 that is related to this issue? Any idea if there is a 2.3.4 version for Xperia X10 that is coming out soon?

Messaging is acting up

So this happened in two roms that i tried, speed rom 7.8 and Fourth Bar: Infusion.
When i type up a message and hit send , it automatically says it could not send, and so it sends the notification at least 3 more times and THEN it actually sends it. Sometimes when i hit the send button, it actually force-closes the stock messaging app that came with these apps.
It get's annoying, and its not the signal strength because this happens EVERYWHERE i go. This never happened when i was using the stock roms , but i do not wanna go back to those roms, so is there a solution out there for this problem?
Will downloading a messaging app like Go SMS fix this problem?

[Q] SMS and Call log not updating?

Struggling with a recent problem.
Using omega 43.3... I've no idea if that is the problem or not, but can't remember it happening before that (was omega 30ish before)
When I receive an SMS (using Handcent as default), the notification shows and if I click on it, it takes me to the Handcent threaded screen. However, if I then close that and it opens the default window (with all the contacts sms listed) it isn't there. If I then close Handcent, and then reopen it, it is?!
The same thing is happening with Call Log... Missed calls etc aren't showing when I access them from the dropdown menu... unless I then close the Call Log app and then go back into it.
I've tried various kernels and modems, and also tried reinstalling handcent, wiping cache/dalvic, fixing permissions etc. Nothing seems to make a difference. Currently on stock modem and kernel

Sorted it. Installed Ultimarom.
call log, messages, viber... not showing new events
I had this problem on JB 4.3 stock samsung sm-n7505 and after zillion read pages about it and rebooting and removing battery and sim and after I deleted entire contact list (by mistake) it turned out that it was the most idiotic problem you can ever think of.
While was in the tight pocket phone unlocked somehow(using pattern) and simply unchecked box (which is deep in the menu) "use network provided time/date" and date was set to a date 5 days earlier. So, all logs and messages were actually in the phone(I could see them in notifications and could send messages and calls), only I did not see them because they were back in the list in the place of 5 days ago. I just checked the damn box and everything was normal again(except my contact list (( ) Crazy. Hope my small contribution will help somebody. Rock on!!!! :good:
