HTC Incredible :: "Send Message" Under A Contact
May 1, 2010
This is my first help post so please be kind.I noticed when I imported my contacts from my gmail account, that the phone is giving me the option to send a SMS message to every single number listed not just mobile numbers. Why would i want to send a text message to a land line phone that can't receive them? Is anyone else seeing this? I checked out a friends Eris and she is showing the send message option for mobile numbers only. Is there a setting I'm missing for this? I've looked everywhere I can think of and can't find anything on this.

I must be missing something really obvious, but can someone tell me how I can send a text message to more than one contact in Handcent please? If I manage to do this, will all the recipients of that message be able to jointly read what everyone says like an email or facebook message? Maybe I'm asking too much?

Is there a way to pick a contact from the contact list to send a message to? The only way I can see is to type a name in the to field of the message.

My problem is this, I downloaded Handcent and really like it, however, I can't send messages from home. I have marginal service here (around -98 avg.) but I do get 3G. Whenever I send a message it says Message Failed - Retry, Cancel? I've even had this problem in places with great coverage for both 3G and cell service. The stock messaging app works just fine. So what I've been doing is receiving messages with Handcent and then sending them using the stock app.
So, does anyone have any ideas of what I can do? Are there any settings that can be changed? Does handcent use 3G to send messages?
I'm now trying Chomp to see if that's any better. And, just an FYI, I'm having trouble with text messages, not MMS. I haven't tried sending any pics or videos yet, I've just been sending SMS.

On my new Android phone I setup my Google Voice number and set it as my primary number to use on the phone. I have had the phone for 3 days and have had my Google Voice acct for over a year with never an issue with it. This morning, the only change I made to my Android phone was adding
an app from the app store called "Facebook Touch". About 2 hours later, I learned that every contact on my Google Voice contact list, which I did a sync with on my phone, got SPAM
with the same SPAM - It was texted out to everyone, here was the message -
Dear, I have tried to purchase some products from a business company, I have attracted by high quality products, low price and enthusiastic services, I think if you are free, you can go to see: styleele.com, picking your interesting <<followed by a link here>>
I can't imagine that it could not have come from the phone. Maybe from that Facebook Touch app as that application had a lot of SPAM just within the application itself (its not deleted).

Why does the People / Contacts entry automatically set up a 'send message' for every phone number even if the phone number is not a mobile number? That means that even though 3/4 of the phone numbers don;t have text message capability, they have a send message.

If I attach a photo with a msg, get a "generic failure". Before Froyo I could attach a photo to a text msg and send it.

I used to snap a pic on my Samsung Sway, was given the option to send in a message, then it resized and off it went. How do I snap a pic and send in a message on my incredible? I have the manual downloaded and printed all 206 pages and still don't understand the resizing.

Found out yesterday that my "computer" is not sending text messages (using the native app). It caused an argument between my wife and I, and about damn-near caused a divorce. The bad thing is that, from what I can tell, it hasn't been sending ANY for a couple of days now. (Notice I didn't say that a potential divorce was not the bad thing ) I can receive texts all day long, not able to send them. In the time that I wasn't able to send them, I wasn't receiving any notifications that the text wasn't sent! I can go into the app, menu > undelivered and see 2 dozen texts there. Why am I not getting a failure notification if I have "Failure Notification" checked in the settings?
Because it went on for so long before being noticed, I have no way of knowing if I screwed around with the settings or if an app I downloaded has caused the problem. I've been tempted to use Handcent, but I'm leery about using something that radically changes the interface when I am a new Superphone and new Android user. Besides, it may not fix the problem.

Does anyone have pic text messaging issues? I get an error message "unable to send message. Retrying generic network failure"
I have handcent, but get the same error message with stock messaging app.
The only things I could find within the incredible forums was that it may be linked to a app bug, which that specific app I have never used, or this is a known HTC error which I can't confirm.

In my contacts list when I press the contacts button, I see each contact once. I have it set to only show contacts from my phone. When I go to send a text message and press contacts, my contacts are there multiple times, but I can't see any differences because they are named the same. For example, my son Adam shows up twice in the contact list in text messaging, but only once when I press contacts from my home page.

Anytime i try and send an MMS through handcent i get "generic message failure" in the status bar. If i try to send through the native app i get nothing. just acts like it sent. i can receive mms from people on ATT/Verizon just can't send. I did a factory reset just to see if any apps were interfering with it and still have the same problem.

I am trying to send an MMS message like this --
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "hello world"); sendIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms"); sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File (url))); // I have tried Uri.parse(url) here sendIntent.setType("image/*"); // I have tried "image/jpg" and "impage/jpeg" here... startActivity(sendIntent);
The file that I'm trying to send is in my application sandbox.
/data/data/com.myapp.test/files/myco/cache/1234.jpg
However, every time I send the message, I get --
10-16 01:46:51.371: ERROR/MediaModel(3298): IOException caught while opening or reading stream 10-16 01:46:51.371: ERROR/MediaModel(3298): java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/data/com.myapp.test/files/myco/ cache/1234.jpg 10-16 01:46:51.371: ERROR/MediaModel(3298): at org.apache.harmony.luni.platform.OSFileSystem.open(OSFileSystem.java: 231) 10-16 01:46:51.371: ERROR/MediaModel(3298): at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:80)
Is this because the file I'm pointing at is in my local sandbox? And if it is, how do I expose it to the MMS app. I have thought about copying it to the SD card first, but that seems like a really bad solution... Can I have the intent run as thought the person who received it is me? (I thought I remembered reading that somewhere...)
