Android :: Handcent Links Service SMSs To Facebook Contact
Jul 1, 2010
I use Handcent SMS on my HTC Hero. I have also recently updated to Android 2.1. Recently I have received a couple of service SMS messages from different companies (bank mini-statements, adverts, etc.) which in itself is okay, but Handcent has been linking them to one of my Facebook contacts!
It only happens when I get a SMS from a non-regular phone number or a short number. Its always the same Facebook contact, but I don't have this person as a regular contact in my phone or Google contacts and their phone number is not on their FB profile!
I checked the stock messaging app to make sure it wasn't anything else and that was fine, so it's definitely a Handcent thing.

Do any of you know of an MSN app that links MSN contacts' statuses to your Contacts list? I like how you can see Google Talk status on your contact list, so it'd be cool if you could see MSN contacts' statuses like that, too.

I'm using HTC desire, I'm sorry if I haven't searched the forum enough.I'm wondering if there is ever a way to post a link in Facebook like how you do it on the full web site- when you click on "What's on your mind" a drop down of several icon appears and when you choose the "link" icon you can paste the URL there.The problem is that without that interface the URL messes up with the actual message you wanted to post (most of the time to explain the link you are posting).

I'm having a small issue with Facebook on Android. However, I think it's an issue with Android itself, not the app. When I get an email from Facebook, and I click the link, my browser opens and takes to the Facebook page and asks me to log in. Why doesn't it open the link using my Facebook app? It doesn't even ask me which app to use, browser or Facebook (eg. if I have two different gallery apps, and I want to view a picture, it asks me which gallery app to use, and lets me set one as default at the same time). Is there any way to make Facebook links open the Facebook app, instead of launching the browser (or to have it ask me like it does with other apps)? The whole point of the Facebook app is so I don't need to use the browser to view Facebook.

Eris = rooted to KaosFroyo v37
Laptop = XPPro
Both seem to be working perfectly, except:
The Contacts and Calendar on the phone no longer appear on my laptop. Worked fine yesterday.
Obviously it's some idiotic thing I did or failed to do, but I haven't a clue.

For several of my contacts, viewing their contact page will show multiple links to their facebook account.
For example, I lookup John Doe and it'll show:
[PIC] John Doe
Call Mobile
Email Home
Facebook Profile
Facebook Profile
Facebook Profile
Facebook Profile
Facebook Profile
Clicking on any of the Facebook profile buttons takes you to the same facebook page. Anyone else seeing this issue? I have one Gmail account and one Facebook account on this phone and that's all I've ever had...

I was wondering if the X10 can do the same as my last android Hero, which basically link the facebook info contact to my related phone contact, including the picture. I guess this wont need any hardware, but software. Has this improvement being asked or is it planned for future updates?

Hope someone can help me out with this one.I can't seem to get Handcent to display contact pictures. it did show the ones with Facebook contacts, but I rebooted my Hero, and selected 'fix uid mismatches' which I read would fix this, and now it doesn't show any pictures.

I've just started using Handcent on my HTC Desire and I was so impressed with it.But I've just seen that when I want to creat a new message, and I start typing the recipients name into the "To:" box, it isn't bringing up any of my contacts.The "messages" program that comes with the phone doesn't have this problem. any ideas?

I've been using handcent for almost a year now. 2 weeks ago, right at it, one of my most frequently used contacts for texting disappeared from handcent. The text comes through on board messenger but wont cross over to handcent. Out of 90 or so contacts this is the only contact with that issue. The contact is an AT&T contact, all other AT&T contacts work fine. I've removed the contact, reset the phone with battery removed, made new contact and still the same. It's almost like the number/name is cursed. This "cursed contact" comes through handcent on my wife's phone just fine.

I think this is a Handcent issue because I'm not really seeing it in the default app. For some reason I get multiple numbers for a contact when sending a SMS- the same number! I have one contact that when I select to send an SMS to, I get 7 options to choose to send to, and guess what, all 7 are the same phone number. And its not a format issue, it still duplicates if the number has brackets over the area code or just dashes. Not sure what to do and when I go into the individual contact (using People) the number is only listed once.

I promise I searched. I also looked at the "Here are the similar threads we found:" suggestions.
Anyways. Just got a Moto Droid. Downloaded Handcent SMS. It's great. However the ONE thing I can't figure out, is why do SOME of my contacts have their Facebook pictures, and others don't? I have "synched" with Facebook multiple times. The contacts I have saved have the exact same names as their Facebook profiles, so it should pop up, right?

So I have a good amount of contacts in my phone and never do I have a problem with responding to texts even if the person isn't in my phone book. I have one contact that for whatever reason I can't respond to with Handcent. When she texts me I reply normally and it says there's no contact, so I have to go into the stock program and talk to her thru it. Has anyone else experienced this before? honestly if it was someone I talked to regularly I would have to go back to stock but I rarely talk to this person but when I do it's kind of annoying, and I forget and start using handcent so I always have to cut and paste things.

I have downloaded the new updated version (complete with adverts)of Handcent to try it out as I hearing such glowing comments on it. When I open the programme I see all the threads but all I have is the mobile numbers and No Contact names associated with them.
Could someone kindly tell me what I have to do to get the names up please. I have been looking through the settings but cant see anything, do I need to make sure the stock messaging app is unticked first to get the names to appear?

Don't know what's going on, but handcent shows every social contact about 20 entries, then it doesn't recognize contacts in my address book. Something really squirrelly is going on. Have I missed a thread about this?

After one of the recent handcent updates, I entered a number to send a text message. This number was not in my contacts. I entered the number, and it changed the number at the top to a persons name, who isn't in my contacts, and does not have the same number. They are my friend on facebook however. Is handcent linking with facebook? How do I turn this off? It's telling me this conversation is with the wrong person as of now, and I don't know if it's even sending to the right number.

I've got and Xperica Arc S and recently upgraded to ICS (official update) and everything's great, except for one thing. The contact photos in Handcent SMS are gone. I've been looking at the contacts list and the photos appear in every single contact there, but not in Handcent.
What I've realized is that in Handcent SMS now only appear the photos of the contacts which have a photo on their gmail account, whereas in Gingerbread it would show the photo of every contact that had any photo associated with it (Facebook, custom, another account, etc..)
I would really like to see the photos in Handcent and this is really bugging me!

Using an Eris (2.1) and handcent app. I'd like to add my pic to the display and was prompted in handcent settings to use a pic for the "account picture" from "my contact card". So...where is "my contact card" or where do I set up a contact card that includes a pic?

I am writing a Security-oriented application for Android that is supposed to detect abuse of SMS sending.
In my work I encountered the problem of not being able to detect outgoing SMSs sent not through the use of conventional applications, i.e. merely by using SMS Manager's sendTextSMS method.
The conventional SMS applications add the contents of the sent SMS to the SMS Provider after they send it but I can assume that malicious applications will not do that... and neither will they provide the pending intents to the sendTextSMS method to be broadcast upon sending/ delivery.
My question is, is there any way I can detect the sending of the SMS without relying on the SMS provider?

IM is automatically loaded when I start my phone. I don't use it, but don't see a way to uninstall or shut that off.
Also, I occssionally get these odd sms messages. I looked one up on the web and it said it had to do with IM. How can I stop all this IM stuff?

How do you delete a contact in your address (phone list) that is a facebook contact? It wont show in the people contact but if you use the home tab (on phone) the list there shows the facbook person but not in people contact? I can delete normal contacts but not ones imported from facebook..
