This is a very strange issue I've run into, and I wanted to see if anyone has run into it as well, and if there is a workaround, solution, or a fix. Whenever I restore nandroid backups, flash a new build and restore SMS messages, it randomly resends a few text messages, usually the last two or three. it doesnt actually show that its been resent, just the recipient tells me he\she got it twice. Its resulted in some VERY humorous conversations, but it def is getting old.
Anyone? Thanks!

Have you tried to use Odin to get back to stock, then reroot?? I had a problem like that but going back to stock fixed it

Hi Guys, I have few messages in my inbox that are blank and shows its from 31-Dec-1969. It shows up in both Chomp and android message inbox. I cant delete them in either programs. I have no cache to clear in either and I tried clearing data. Anyone have this or know of a fix? Thanks!

Back in 1969, they weren't sending too many SMS's around, so SMS functionality was pretty unrefined, and didn't have the delete option.
Ok, sorry. that wasn't very helpful.

Equally as helpful...
I tore all my 1969 messages up and burned them.
You tried wiping data using Titanium Backup?
Assuming you have a rooted X10?
yup, tried that.. I have like 7 messages now. All blank and from 31-Dec 1969 and from different people that Ive deleted messages.
Ok so the closest thing I got to your error was when I was using 2.2 with mms settings as Android.
When a png file was being sent I would recieve a blank text with a timestamp.
Saying that though I could do a long press on the thread and delete the thread.
They aint old emails that you deleted from your email server are they?
Saw somewhere that you delete you gmail contacts from your phone then resync from gmail via the gmail web page.
Might be barking up the completely wrong tree though. Sorry!
yeah, Ive read about those phantom emails as well.. non of those fixes work for the messages.
try a repair with SEUS or flash tool and they will be gone i think
I am trying to avoid flashing the firmware... that will be my last option.
I started having this problem just a couple days ago, not sure what started it but I ended up with four threads dated 1969 that I couldn't delete. I read through various forums which suggested a number of fixes but nothing worked.
I did mange to fix it myself though, or at least it's fixed for now. I did this about an hour ago and have rx/tx about 50 SMS since then with no return of the bug.
Download SMS Backup & Restore and back up your messages if you want to keep any of them, this fix will wipe EVERYTHING from the messaging app.
From the Messaging app thread list, press Menu and select Delete Threads. It will ask you to confirm that you want to delete all threads. Say "yes" obviously and bye bye stuck threads from 1969. Of course, bye bye to all the other threads too but that's why you made a backup. From SMS B&R, restore your messages and you should get everything back, minus the 1969 threads.
Your mileage may vary on this one so try it at your own risk. Don't complain to me when you delete that thread with the hottie from the bar the other night. You know, the one with all the pictures she sent you?
i think it maybe happened cuz u took the car from Back to the Future... and while u recieved an sms u were warping back to history. which made this impossible to have and been stuck...
now this how you fix it, go back to the time u warped with the car and stop urselve! else you will mess up much more, u are not allowed to change the past mate.... u mess up the future......
@Coffeedragon, thanks a lot for the tip. It worked. I had originally going to try something like that but I figure the back up would of backed up the blank as well.
oh no...
So I just tried this fix... (Back up messages/settings with Titanium; select all messages and delete) But now ALL my messages are turned into ghosts!!! Also, something many people haven't pointed out yet:
In the stock app, they are ghost messages. In chompSMS, they appear to be changed from SMS to ghost MMS upon deletion.
HTC Inspire 4G
MIUI.us 1.11.18
stock/chompSMS
Got this resolved with some help at the miui.us chat.
1. backed up messages and settings (using MIUI backup, as it was suggested that Titanium is not always great.)
2. Renamed (could delete) mmssms.db
3. rebooted
4. restored messages and settings via miui backup
perfect.
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using XDA App
Did search and found this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306465&highlight=sms+lag
I think its one of my threads that have 5k messages, which is what is lagging me.
Rather not delete it and I do have SMS Backup but it does not save MMS (i think).
And more than often I look back at it using the search so I really rather keep it there.
Anyone know why its lagging or found a way to prevent it from going so slow?
Maybe modding a load previous messages according to date?
Sometimes it takes like 10-15 seconds to go back to home and 5 seconds to send a message.
PS. I rather not use gosms, I have tried it before and did not like it too much.
i prefer to use SMS Backup+, it will backup everything to your gmail account, including MMS. it cant restore MMS yet, but i dont care, since its all filed away nice and neatly in my gmail.

Thanks!
I'll give it a try but still looking for another solution so I don't have to delete them.
Ok so am I the only one with this issue..?!?!
I like to use Emoji's so I tend to try out alternative text messaging apps and so far I've tried Handcent, GOSMS, Chomp, etc and they all do this.. When I go to send a text to someone, it goes to SOMEONE ELSE..!! And sometimes it will only say it went to someone else but it really went to the person who was supposed to get the text in the first place.. This can get very annoying, especially if a text for baby momma goes to new girlfriend, no bueno..!! Anyone have any luck with this..?? Also, I'm on MeanROM's latest release..
Try the usual, clear app data restart, clear data for all sms, you can back up the messages and restore after you see whether it helps or not. I haven't had this issue at all with any rom but there was a bug in Android that was fixed 2-3 releases ago. Closest thing i can think of would be that, but like I said it's supposed to have been fixed

u mean goto settings/apps/messages and clear data right..?
Yes, it's worth a try
hmm, it would only let me clear cache..?? my sms messages still remained inbox..
Odd, you should always be able to clear data, do you have any texts locked. I don't think it would affect the ability to clear data from app settings but it is supposed to keep you from deleteing messages

nope, nothing is hidden/locked, etc.. it's a plain setup of meanrom out of the box.. only thing i've added is nova launcher..
Oh you mean stock then, I meant what ever app you use instead of stick lol
lol well yah I am stock now because the ghost messaging thing lured me into deletion of all third party apps hahaha..!!
FINALLY! Someone with the same freaking issue I have! I blame it on Sense since it handles the messaging.
Here's what happens:
Use Chomp or Go for text, text normally throughout the day. DELETE messages from people and randomly the next incoming text you receive *appears* to come from the person you whose texts you last deleted. If you don't pay attention and reply to the text, it will go to the WRONG person. For me, it happend to be in response to friends Facebook status updates since I USED to have Facebook text me when certain people updated their status. I quit using that Facebook feature when I texted my wife all the dirty and nasty things I was going to do to my wife when I got home from work, that I thought was going to her, went in reply to my friends status update. Yeah, that really happened.....and I didn't catch it.
If you use the stock app, the same thing happens, but with a slight difference.......
You can see the text come in as the last message you deleted, but it very rapidly changes to the contact it should be. You have to be holding your phone and looking at it in order to notice it.
When I use Chomp or Go, the SMS I'll get an SMS and it will stay as the wrong person until I kill and restart the app. So any texts I respond to go to the wrong person.
This has happened to me on all stock versions. I recently rooted and went to Meanrom and STILL get it. I switched to Handcent since they claim better integration with Sense and have not experienced the problem.
I have a topic in on the Sprint forums about this. I'd link to it but they're down right now. Look in there, it's near the top. Reply to it or start a new topic. This is indeed a BUG that needs fixed.
I think it's going relatively unnoticed because people blame Chomp or Go for the problem...........
I also faced the similar problem few months ago but I figured out the problem. basically the problem arise due to any draft msg or msg that havnt been sent and that msg is not visible in sms apps. to solve the problem try installing my phone explorer and then watchout for any sms that is in category other than recieved and sent, just delete that sms, restart phone and voilla problem solved...)
Hello hello,
I updated my Note 3 on ATT via the OTA update to 4.4.2. I did the factory data reset. I restored my sms via the SMS backup and restore app. All the messages are here but the app seems to be working slow and laggy. The SMS Backup+ did not really work. What are my other options?
Thanks!
How many text messages did you restore? Did you test before and after you restored the messages? But seems like you have a couple choices, 1 - try it without restoring the messages. If you have 1000s, that could be why. 2 - try a 3rd party SMS app and see if the problem exists there or just stock.
Thanks for the response. SMS backup+ says I have 14000 items. The app works great before the backup.
I am a little disappointed with Android right now. iTunes was restoring everything to exactly where I left off. I surprised Android does not have a working sms restore function. Kies does not even offer it. How about manually copying the sms database file that I saved.
I guess I still have to try a 3rd party app but I prefer the stock one.
Cheers.

That amount of text messages will make many things lag (and take FOREVER to restore). But there are quite a few different ways to back up and restore texts so I guess Android doesn't think it's necessary to include it? I backup and restore texts all the time as I am a serial flasher and never have issues like that, but I also don't have any reason to keep 1000s of texts messages on my phone.
On my Galaxy S5, running Android 6.0.1., when I try to send a text message to a number that does not have a saved conversation, the app I'm using always crashes, gives me an error, or does nothing instead of sending the message. The built in Messages app and Facebook's Messenger app both crash, while Google Messages gives me an error saying it couldn't create the conversation, and Go SMS Pro seems to work at first, but actually does nothing.
I've also deleted caches/data and removed old texts/conversations, and nothing seems to work.
This is clearly not a problem with one app, but rather something larger at play. What could possibly be causing this?
Sounds like something corrupted your SMS data base and it will take a wipe to fix it. Go SMS pro is the normal cause for corruption. It's a male are ridden app that users here stopped using years ago.
Darn, is there any other way to fix something like that? I use my phone for work, so I don't really want to wipe it and spend a bunch of time updating/reinstalling.
Go SMS Pro was just a last attempt to try any other SMS app, rather than one I've had, so it's probably not the culprit.
If you had root you could try to wipe the data base file.
Give textra a try. They use their own separate SMS data base. So that might help.
Other then that you might spend an evening backing up and flashing a stock clean build.
