Droid Eris Text Messaging

Installed Handcent SMS text messaging on my Droid Eris. It works fine but now I receive two messages. One on Handcent SMS and one on the standard Droid Eris operating system. How can I receive only the Handcent SMS message? Is there away to stop the other notification? Thanks

Go into your stock messaging app, hit menu>settings, and turn off notifications. All your messages will actually still show up in the stock app, but at least it won't bother you about it. Also, pick any contact from your contact list, long press on the contact, choose send message and an option will pop up asking which app you would like to use. Check use by default box then choose Handcent (you don't actually have to send them a message, but this is one more step to stop your stock app from trying to start up.)

Droid Bionic text messages going to wrong people

I have had my Droid Bionic for several months now. It is not rooted and I don't download tons of apps on my phone. I don't use netflix to watch movies or download music. The apps I have are mainly to help me with work. So I'm not app happy just downloading things non stop. This is why I'm confused and irritated. My Bionic has started sending text messages to the wrong people! I had this issue with my Droid X which is why I switched to the Bionic, hoping that after all these years of making smart phones motorola, google and verizon would put a phone out there that actually works like it's supposed to. How much practice do these phone companies need to get their OS right? I don't mind paying a lot of money for something that will make my life a little easier but I get very irritated paying a lot of money for something that doesn't work the way it's supposed to...and at the most inappropriate times. The Bionic has gone from helping to adding to my daily hassles. Is anyone else having issues with text messages going to the wrong people on their Bionics? Have you found a way to fix it? I'm also getting error messages that just started about a week ago...com.motorola.main.service has stopped and then a option to forceclose. The tech support person at Verizon sounded like he had never seen a smart phone before and gave me the Verizon standard technical reply..."do a factory reset". I should not have to reset anything on a NEW Phone! Why don't you fix these problems Google, Motorola and Verizon and in a timely manner?! I know for a fact if I didn't pay for my phone as promised or pay my bill as promised I would suffer the consequences immediately! You cell phone companies are all about getting your money and leaving us customers out here hanging and irritated. If you think my feelings are misguided then feel free to prove me wrong. FIX THESE ISSUES AND FIX THEM IN A TIMELY MANNER! BETTER YET, PUT OUT A PRODUCT THAT WORKS AS PROMISED IN YOUR ADS! TRAIN YOUR TECHS TO ACTUALLY RESOLVE ISSUES INSTEAD OF RECITING THEIR FAVORITE MOTO "Do a factory reset"! When you do these 3 things I will not feel like someone who has been lied to, robbed, and irritated! I am usually a very positive person but after dealing with issues with 2 expensive phones I'm a little upset. Can anyone help me fix my phone?

Go into your settings, Messages and turn on iMessage. It will then send messages that are iMessages to both your iPad and iPhone. You can also turn off this feature on the iPad if you do not want to receive messages on the iPad.

LiveView on Droid X, Text Messaging Doesnt Display

Hi All,
I got a LiveView last week and so far on my DroidX everything seems to work about as well as I expected, EXCEPT Text Messaging never displays on the LiveView.
This was a major feature I hoped would work even if some of the other less important ones didnt.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get Text Messages to display on a DroidX?
Ive tried everything I can think of but nothing seems to make any difference.
I really like the concept of the LiveView and would like to see it develop rapidly.
Thank you.

ISSUE RESOLVED!!
EXPLANATION OF ISSUE (FOR SONYERICSSON TECHNICIANS TO FIX IT THE RIGHT WAY)
The problem you are having is a common one for Droids on Verizon's CDMA network, as well as Rogers in Canada and Sprint PCS. Its just another form of the SMS time offset issue that's been plaguing us all for years...
for some stupid reason, the CDMA network timestamps all messages in GMT, rather than the local timezone
This issue is annoying, and should have been fixed in the verizon distributions of android a long time ago, but it is compounded by a confusing programming choice made by Sony Ericsson:
Inside the dex file of the apk, in "com/sonyericsson/exttras.liveview/LiveViewService$9.class" on line 31 (ignoring blank lines and comments), there is a test run on the timestamp... (the exact code is "if (l1 > l2)")... THIS TEST FAILS ON ALL CDMA PHONES WITH THE TIMEZONE BUG
I'm not sure why they were working it that way, but they should have simply tested to see if the message was newer than the last message received... they apparently did not.
HOW TO MAKE IT WORK (WITHOUT MODIFYING THE APK FILE)
install SMS Time Fix from the market, and set the offset method to "timezone". This fixes the issue, as well as issues with message order in restored backups.

Text messages going to wrong people

I am new to this forum and I think I posted under the wrong forum for my problem. Please follow the link to my post. I really would appreciate some help.
http://community.vzw.com/t5/DROID-DROID-2-by-Motorola/Droid-Bionic-text-messages-going-to-wrong-people/td-p/733318

I have been experiencing this issue for the last few weeks and it is extremely annoying. I've called Verizon 7 times and have gotten nothing but the run around. What's even more annoying is hearing them say there will be a software coming out to correct the problem but they don't know when. I'm very disappointed in Verizon. I've been with them for many years. They were my first and only carrier. I will definitely not be taking this lying down. I'm going to get a resolution, and if that means leaving Verizon, then so be it. And if anyone from Verizon is reading this, PLEASE DO NOT offer up another apology. I don't want another apology, I want this issue to be corrected, NOW!!

I was thinking that if he wanted to create multiple keyframes he might be creating a repeated effect rather than manipulating values that are shot specific - like creating an oscillation or some repeated step effect. If he was creating keyframes specific to his content he'd probably not look for a way to do it "quickly" since each keyframe would require manipulation of specific values.
So my thought was to generate the series of keyframes on a dummy clip created for this specific purpose, copy the clip, paste attributes (maybe turn off "Scale Attribute Times") and add bunches of keyframes at once.
Still, you're right, it's tough to divine the intent of someone very new to FCP. His question could be based on a misunderstanding about the use of keyframes.

How can I fix my droid so I can see text messages again?

When I text, I can compose a new message no problem, send it with no problem, and the other person(s) receive it with no problem. It is the viewing unread messages that is going all haywire. When I know I got a text, I unlock my phone, pull down the notifications bar, click view unread messages, and then it leads me to my messaging app with all my text messages. The problem is, it is all my old messages. You know how when you get a new text, it is highlighted in blue above all your other messages? My phone stopped doing that! It has nothing highlighted. I have tried turning it off, taking away my signature, searching for the unread message(s) and everything but I still have to compose a new message to the person i was texting without actually knowing what they replied with. PLEASE HELP I DON'T WANT TO GET A REPLACEMENT!!!

Are you using handcent sms or a text app? if so, uninstall it. If no, boot the phone into safe mode. What kind of droid is this? the original droid? droid x? bionic? You can also call tech support but its really annoying to wait in line its much easier to google your model droid safe mode and it will tell you how to do it. When in safe mode you should be able to see them. if not, you need to do a master clear aka reset. Save your info and reset it and that will fix it for sure.

I want to use my old iphone for my kids as an ipod. How do I keep from getting text messages on it when it is turned on? If it is on, and my droid razar is on, text messages will go to the iphone. It is either a 4 or 4s ...I don't have Siri, so I think

Another thing to remember is the phone is actually usable for 911 calls and maybe others. Not a real good idea. Especially for a child.
It would depend however on the age of the child.
Good Luck

Droid Razr M not sending full text messages after updating

I had an update to my Droid Razr M four days ago. Since that update, if I send a message that is longer than the allotted characters, the message is not fully sent. The person receiving the text only receives the first part of the message. They have then received the 2nd part of the message the next day, which was combined with a new text that was sent or they do not receive it at all. My phone restarted automatically after the update, and I manually restarted it two more times. I have had this phone for 5 months and this is the first automatic update. Prior to the update, I did not have any issues when messages were longer than the allotted characters. They were received simultaneously. After the update, it's hit or miss receiving the all texts if longer than one. Is anyone else having these similar issues? Any suggestions on how to correct, besides sending smaller messages??

Dkronx, thanks for bringing your issue to our attention. I want to make sure that your text messages are working as they should. I'm not showing this as a reported issue. Do you show any errors when this happens, or just find out that the other person didn't receive it? Are you using any SMS apps from the PlayStore? Try clearing cache from your Messaging app. This will not erase data. http://vz.to/ZauvQJ Also, remove the SD card for about 30 seconds.

Droid Razr M update and text messages

After my droid razr m updated the other day, it now has to download text messages. One last night took about 30 minutes to download. It never did this prior to the update. I received messages from some people throughout that day. Prior to the udate, no download, just text message. After the update, download.
How do I get it to stop the download and just show the texts like before?

I am having the same issue, my phone was perfect for me before the GREAT UPDATE, then it overheated, shut off whenever it felt like it, freezes whenever, stopped ringing, text messages would take forever, kept getting "downloading" message in text, my group txt sent one txt repeatedly to everyone in the group for a whole day had to turn off my phone, so it would stop, people blocked me until I could get that fixed. Finally I went to the Verizon store and a lovely young lady replaced my phone, when I got it in the mail, the new one wouldn't even power on (really?????) sent that back finally got one that worked properly for about 3 months now it is randomly shutting down again!!!!!
I can turn off auto updates on my pc I want the ablity to turn it off on my phone as well!!!!!
It is the phone and the updates that are not compatible, just because your techs thought of something new doesn't mean that it's good for me, or just stop making blanket improvements as all phones are not equal..Example apparently my Android won't work with that same upgrades as an S4, seeing as how their 2 different phones.(duh)
Frankly i have no problem with the customer service people, you have to stand by your company its your job I get it, but you guys need to take these forums seriously and stop acting like puttng something on here is going to make a difference!!!!
Oh yeah and now this phone is starting to cut off randomly like the other!

Why am I no longer able to send or receive text messages from my Droid RAZR MAXX HD?

@slotjan49
I want to ensure you're able to stay connected using your Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD! When did this problem begin? In what zip code are you experiencing this? Do you get an error message when attempting to send a text? Are you using a downloaded text messaging application or are you using the preinstalled text messaging application?
Please try removing and reinserting the SIM Card http://vz.to/1jxFQVZ and retesting. Please let me know so that I can further assist. Thanks!

Droid 2 Global-Cannot Send or Receive Text messages

I have a Droid 2 Global and the text messaging is not working. Whenever I try to send a text I get a message that it has not been sent. I also asked a friend to text me, and the text did not come through. I tried rebooting the phone (removing the battery and such), but that was to no avail. I am unable to send or receive text messages. Does anyone have suggestions?

Wow that must be very inconvenient! Do you know when you last able to send or receive a successful message? Are you able to send and receive e-mails? Is it possible you have a message blocking feature on your account? Are you using a third party messaging app or the standard messaging application from the handset?

Motorola Droid 4 not sending text messages after firmware update?

Ever since the most recent update I've been having major issues with my texts not going through. I have to completely reboot my device. Any ideas other than doing another factory reset?

Hi CyJoi83,
I use my text messaging feature all day and I can understand how frustrating it must be to have issues with it. Are you using the native text messaging application? Are you using a different application (i.e. Handcent, Go SMS, etc.)? My son has a Droid 4 and he also had some post update issues but all issues were resolved by doing a http://vz.to/TZvgLF factory reset. I recommend doing a factory reset and then install your third party applications one at a time and test a few hours before the next install as you may also have an application conflict that is causing the issues. Keep us posted.

Droid X Won't Send Text Messages

My Droid X won't send text messages to one of my contacts who also has Verizon when I am in North Carolina. I can send her picture messages from NC but everytime I try to send her a text I get a message saying "text not sent". I can receive messages from her but cannot send them. I don't have any problem when I am at home in Virginia but in North Carolina it won't send my messages. I don't think it is a problem with my plan or coverage bc I can send messages to everyone else in my phonebook, she is the only person that my phone won't send them too. It makes no sense to me. HELP!!!!!

I am also having issues with my Droid Ultra. I get some messages from my wife, while others do not come through.I can verify this by looking at her phone. This has been happening past few days. I also have noticed that a pop up stating that messaging suddenly has stopped working. Please advise!
System Version = 19.6.3.obake_version.Verizon.en.US
Model Number = DROID ULTRA
System Information = Motorola X8 Mobile Computing System
Android Version = 4.4

My Droid Maxx deleted all my text messages by itself. I had all of them, got a phone call, and when I got off the call, all my texts where gone. Is there a way I can get them all back?

My Droid Maxx deleted all my text messages by itself. I had all of them, got a phone call, and when I got off the call, all my texts where gone. Is there a way I can get them all back? I had a lot and some where really important to me. I turned the phone off and on again thinking that would bring them back because of some glitch but it didn't help. Does anyone know of a way to bring them all back?

It's very possible to get your messages back. Verizon Messages (app) from the Play Store has options both to restore and back up your messages. They can be downloaded as a file and saved on the device or SD card. By pulling the menu out from the left side and choosing "Restore Conversations", you can (hopefully) restore your lost messages but it says for 90 days. I hope this doesn't reach you too late.
