Help SMS and MMS issue

[douginiraq]

I have a Android with Lee Droid Froyo. Also is the standard messaging app along with Handcent SMS app. The first issue is that after I receive messages for a period of time (week or so) messages start coming in as MMS messages instead of SMS from a 5556 number, not the person who sent the SMS. I check the details and it states the incoming message is "SMS Message", however both stock message and handcent app handle and label as a MMS message from user 5556 but the message in the MMS is blank. When the messages arrive they are visible in the locked screen messages widget then disappear after entering the program to view them.

I had the "delete old messages" unchecked and had a SMS message limit of 200. I have since checked the "delete old messages" and increased to 300 the SMS message limit but still have the same issue.

Any ideas why the system handles these incoming messages as MMS?

I'm experiencing this too on my Samsung Captivate, so it's not unique to your phone. Any ideas anyone?

"Blackbook" app was causing this issue... Uninstall it!
