Hey everyone,
I have had a bit of a google, but i was wondering if anyone had adapted the standard messaging app on android to have better functionality in regards to sending messages.
Cause when i have sent messages and it did not send there isnt really anything showing which message did not send, and i have found the only way to work it out is to long press each msg and see which one still has 'edit' available.
I know in handcent it pops up a thing saying not sent and gives you an option to retry.
i dont get why the standard one doesnt give you an easy way to retry?
am i missing something here?
Thanks
sooo my textual messages are being lame and i cant get any. I'm wondering if this is more a sprint wide issue or just me and my phone
Anybody worried about this new one?

That is a pretty worrisome bug. Not just it's a security issue, but also probably there will be an OTA update soon, which might ruin all the hard work people have done recently to get root!
I wonder why there doesn't seem to be an update for Hangouts to fix this? Is that not where the actual bug is?
I was just surprised there are not more people talking about it.
i just read about this yesterday
From what I have read, you can avoid the problem by disabling automatic download of multimedia content. Uncheck "Auto-retrieve MMS" in settings if you are using hangouts for text messages. The verizon messaging app has a similar option. If you get an MMS message from an unfamiliar source, delete it without opening.
I heard it on npr couple days ago. Problem in using hangouts as your default sms mms is that it preproccess video sent via mms thus auto infecting. Atleast with default messaging app you have to actually open the message.
We need updated stagefright .so files we can drop in /system/lib(64)/hw
That's where the defect is. It's in the binary not in an apk.
I don't claim to know the details of this vulnerability.
I'm using the stock LG Messaging app (yellow icon). But for peace of mind, if nothing else, I set it to not auto-retrieve multimedia messages. At least if I get one from an unknown source, it would give me a way to delete the message without a risk of downloading it.
For all of Android's advantages over iOS (and I feel it's a better system, at least for what I want from a device), the fragmentation and multiple layers between a possible Google patch, and it getting to consumers (Google->manufacturers->carriers, for a lot of us) definitely adds to the challenge of fixing this quickly.
Everyone i try to send someone a picture through text they always tell me it didn't work or it comes through cut halfway off or messed up. It only does this on the stock messaging app. Is this a common issue? If so how do u fix it?? I want to keep the stock messaging app since it's the only one that shoes a text on the always on display.
Other than this issue the phone is great. However, this is a major flaw not being able to send a picture.
I have the regular S8 purchased through Samsung and am using it on T-mobile. Whenever I send a message to a group chat, the status when i click on the message says sent but in the list of messages (all the people have i conversations with) it is stuck on "sending" in red letters...anyone else experience this?
I know the message went through because people respond..it is an eye sore to see "sending" there
I'm also getting the same exact thing and makes me worry if people did get my message however so far it seems that they have. Definitely interested in knowing if there is a fix for this.
Messages is one of Samsung's worst apps. No option to stop the phone from turning on when receiving a message, the annoying " sending" thing and the lack of smoothness of the app make it almost unusable
