You can’t receive mms messages with stock text app disabled.

Whenever I disable the stock text app, I’m able to send texts (slowly) but not able to receive texts. Like, at all. Even when I enable the stock app, the texts that were sent when I disabled the app don’t come through. They have to resend. Anyone know of any other ways to get past this? I have ChompSMS, but they’re unwilling to work with me on this issue – they give curt answers. I’m looking to switch to another app. Anyone have an answer to my query? Also, which text mess app do y’all like?

I use textfree. It didn’t work for me. The spot on the lock screen was empty where my native text shortcut once was.

Ok I need some help from you folks. This is the second time I’ve tried to do something with Settings > Apps > All, only to find I have no All option (Razr, stock ICS, rooted). First to disable bloatware apps, and now again to try to get my handcent on the lockscreen.
Anyone know why I wouldn’t have that option, and how to get it without flashing ICS to my phone again?
Thanks

Big posts about it on XDA and the Motorola forums regarding issues. My battery degrades 10% for every 5 to 10 minutes of screen on time regardless of any of the brightness settings being set to any setting. Factory resets, cache wipes, etc arent helping a lot of people.

You may want to reflash ICS, since I actually get better battery life (especially on 4G) on my RAZR now that it has ICS.

I still get the issue with GO Locker.

No; it just makes it so the stock, text app doesn’t work.

I wish it did. I have the stock app disabled, so there’s nothing on the bottom of my lockscreen ring. It was a big fail on Motos part, in my opinion, to not let us choose what we put in there. I haven’t seen it in any custom ROMs, yet, and lockscreen replacements are still wonky in my opinion. Too bad.

A few weeks ago it still lagged when I used it. Its not WL fault, its any 3rd party locker because of limitations put in place by the stock locker.

Have you used WL lately? The lag is gone and I’ve maybe had a double lock screen once in the last 3 months that I’ve been using it on my D4.

I used this trick a while ago, but can’t seem to get it to work properly. Got the icon to change on the home screen, but keeps giving me double notifications sounds after disabling.. W

My battery lasts just as long as it did on GB, if not a little longer. No issues here.

The only problem with that is lag, and occasionally double lock screens.
