General :: Unknown Text Message Thread Icon?
Nov 20, 2012
I have an LG lucid.
It's my first smartphone (and touchscreen) Im not too familiar with any of the lingo that Im sure is needed to get my question answered, BUT...
My phone went through an update NOV 13th. When I woke up it was like having a new phone. Im comfortable with it now, but I dont really know what any of the icons that appear in my (text) message threads are.
I had a few red triangles with "!" exclamation points pop up. After some online research I found it to mean a message had not sent. I learned how to delete them and everything has been okay, no icons off to the side of message threads except the attachment paperclip. Until today. I was conversing back and forth with my dad via text. After I had sent my last message to him a blue box with a white 1 (one) in it came up next to the message thread. this box only appears when im in the message home screen, that shows all the message threads, not when that specific thread is open. Along with the box, at the top of the message screen, where it says "messages" with the "+" off to the right hand side there is a blue 1. Im sure its related to the blue box/white 1, considering it was not there prior.

Today, one of my text message conversations showed an icon on the right hand side that I was unfamiliar with. It was right about the date/time stamp and looked like an x button. I was thinking maybe it meant the conversation had reached a limit because no matter how many additional texts I sent or received from this person, the number stayed the same (204). But when I restarted the phone, the icon had gone away and the number started increasing again.

Sometimes when I receive messages it makes the notification sound and will show message in notification bar but the text of the message will not appear in the text thread. Used to happen every once in a while, now doing it multiple times a day. I use Handcent but I doubt that is the problem because the messages dont show up in the regular messaging either. Just want to see if i am alone with this problem.

I'd found a way to see all of my text messages which had a "failed" status on them, and I was able to delete them from that list. But now I'm looking at my phone and for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to do it!
Basically, for one of my texting threads, there's a red triangle with an exclamation point icon, next to the paperclip icon for that thread. I'd really just like to know if there's a way to find the text responsible for this error so that the icon doesn't show up next to the contact's name anymore? I'm using an LG Lucid with Android version 4.0.4, and my guess is that probably since that update whatever option I'd used to find the failed texts has either moved or was taken out.

I'm in the need of viewing the entire conversation between me and a friend, but since we've sent so many text to each other, I can only scroll up to a certain point, therefore i can't see a lot of messages . What can I do?

I have an unknown icon come up at the top of my screen and I'm not sure if it has anything to do with suddenly not being able to log into Google

My mom was texting me today and I inadvertently locked the message. I could see it in my inbox but all of the characters were the letter J. There was a padlock icon on it. I don't know how I locked it so I couldn't unlock it and just ended up deleting the entire thread. Can someone please tell me how I managed to do that and how to undo it without deleting the entire conversation?

Text Message icon and notifications gone after I uninstalled Handcent SMS. I have been unable to find anything online in regards to this issue. Any ideas on how to resolve this? Also be wary of removing this application, FYI.

my phone is VERY new, and I am VERY confused with most of it. However, on my home page there is (WAS) a text messaging icon, a voicemail icon, a browser icon, and then a market icon. Somehow a second text messaging icon showed up. So there was my normal original text message icon, and then a larger one above it. So I tried deleting one of them, it would not work, so i tried the other one, did not work. Then I turned off my phone and turned it back on and now they are both gone. I tried hitting menu, then add, then motorola widgets and then messages, but the only option for a text messaging icon is the red message icon, i was the actual text message icon, HOW DO I GET IT!!?? It's bugging me very badly.

Since I got the original 2.2 update for my Droid, whenever I get a new text message and slide down the notification bar and select the new message, it takes me to the main text message window rather than the actual thread to reply to the person. It is really annoying because it requires an extra step. I figured it would be fixed with the second 2.2 update but it didn't. I called Verizon and they called Motorola and nobody knew of the problem so they shipped me out a new phone and it still does it! I am not sure if I am the only one experiencing this or if its normal. It doesn't do it 100% of the time but closer to 90% probably.

I've been having a problem with my desire home screen (in particular the sms icon) and I'm wondering if anyone else knows how to fix it.
Recently my messages icon has been showing the little "1" in a green circle indicating I have an unread message. Problem is, I've gone through every list of messages I have on the device and there are no messages I haven't read and the "1" stays there. The only ways I've found to get rid of it are to either delete the icon and then put it back or to use Advance Task Killer and kill messages application. I'm not using any fancy apps for messages, just the default one.
My email counter is always perfect, this only seems to affect my sms. Also, my girlfriend told me she sent me a message a few days ago, but I never received it. Not sure if that's a happy coincidence, or if the phone got the message, is telling me I haven't read it, but isn't displaying it for me to see. All the other messages from her are plainly visible.

I have noticed in the text message app if I create a new message and click the icon button next to enter recipient to choose a contact from my contacts there are contacts from just about everyone who has emailed me on my gmail account! This is not ideal at all.. I Would like just the contacts in my phone to be available. How do I remove all of those gmail contacts.

There's an icon in the notification bar that is shaped like the yellow away status icon for AIM in the IM app, and I'm not sure why it's up there. I've tried signing in, signing out, force stopping, and clearing data, but it won't go away. Any suggestions or help?

Ok, so I have been seeing a bunch of requests for black and red icon packs. Since we have a wallpaper thread, why not an icon thread? For any colors, shapes, whatever. Post your icons, or a link you your favorite icon pack be it on deviant art or an app in the market or anywhere else.
Here are some apps that will allow you to change icons. If you PM me or post others here, I will try to keep up and add them.
BetterCut allows you to change icons LauncherPro allows changing icons on its dock
There are numerous apps out there like Fake Chrome that will change one specific icon for a specific program.

Not sure if this is a common problem, but essentially, in the bundled 'Messages' application for the HTC Legend, the text messages are saved as a thread as standard. But today, for some bizarre reason, when I open a message thread, it opens at the oldest message, whereas before, it would open at the most recent message. I've looked around in the settings, turned my phone on and off, cleared the data, but still can't get it to revert, it's quite annoying to scroll through hundreds of messages to get to the most recent SMS.

Am currently running the deFrost FroYo ROM. Everything's fantastic, except...whenever I'm viewing a text message thread, it's slow to scroll through previous messages. Frustratingly slow. Is this a common issue with the deFrost ROM? Or is there something I can change / configure to resolve this?

I am using RunningTaskInfo.topActivity.getClassName() to determine the class name of the activity being viewed by the user. If the top activity is an sms message (the user is texting) then I want to determine either the thread id of the open message or the contact name/ number, either will work! I am able to determine if a message is open by comparing the class name.unningTaskInfo.topActivity.getClassName().equals("com.android.mms.ui.ComposeMessageActivity") which returns true/false. When it is true I need to get the above information from this "compose message". Any ideas on how I can get this kind of information from an Android OS activity (an sms message)?

I'm writing an Android app. I have a main method, which creates and runs a new Thread using an anonymous inner Runnable class. The run() method, when it's done, calls a method on it's parent class (in the main thread) that calls notifyDataSetChanged() so that the main thread can redraw the new data. This is causing all kinds of trouble (ViewRoot$CalledFromWrongThreadException). The thing is, this method being called from the worker thread is on the class that's created in the UI thread. Shouldn't that be running on the UI thread? Or am I missing something.

My application launches a thread to query the web for some data. I want to display a Toast message when nothing is found, but my application always crashes. I've tried using the application Context from within the thread, like so: Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "testttt", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); I've also tried creating a Runnable with the Toast call and calling runOnUiThread(runnable) from the Thread (the Toast call in this runnable uses the Activity as the first parameter). Does anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this?
