[Q] Please Help! Questions about Atrix deleting text messages - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have had the atrix for about two weeks now and love the phone, I havent had any problems with using handcent or any other third part messaging apps until a few days ago. All of a sudden messages that I previously deleted are coming back into my threads and in my currents conversations the phone is deleting tons of messasges. I removed handcent and even the stock messager is doing the same thing. I hace the text limit per conversation set at 1000 and I looked into every second I could think of and just have run out of ideas. Please help because this is extremely frustrating!

if you have multiple text messaging apps installed on your phone try uninstalling all of them and see if the issue disappears. i am thinking that it might be a conflict between different 3rd party apps.
as a worst case scenario i would try a factory reset (which would delete all info and apps) and start again. there is a sms backup app in the market so you can backup everything first and restore after the reset

thank you I am going to try and delete all third party apps for a day or so then re install and if that doesnt work do the factory reset and just install one texting app.

[Q] Gmail app not sending emails?

I've searched for an answer but couldn't find one.. my gmail app won't send any emails. It just says "sending" forever. I'm using a rooted vibrant on stock 2.1 rom, with JAC's kernel.
There have been a few people myself included experiencing this sporadically but I haven't seen a fix or a reason why it's doing this just yet.
Sent from my awesome Vibrant using XDA App
I have yet to be able to actually send an email via Gmail on my phone. I can receive them all day long, but the times I try to compose a message, they just say "sending" forever.
Also, I have noticed that when i receive a message and delete it, it doesn't actually delete it from my Gmail. I have to log into the webmail or use my desktop.
I'm running the stock rom, rooted.
I used to have this happen on my g1 frequently, haven't had it happen on my vibrant yet though. Typically when it would happen on my g1, I would go into the google apps and clear all the data. Couldn't just do it on gmail either, had to do the other google apps too for whatever reason, then it would work again.
Good luck, it's pretty annoying.
Try k9. It's a bit slow at times but it's pretty solid. Best email app I've found yet. I use it for msn, live, gmail, yahoo and my company email.
Honestly I'm pretty disappointed in the stock email apps that came with this phone. I think they're kinda garbage. Apparently my Sidekick '08 was better for that, not to mention the lack of IM.

This happened to me yesterday for the first time. I chalked it up to the gmail servers having issues. But as soon as I plugged in the charger the emails went out. Maybe if battery is low it won't send email? It didn't tell me it wasn't going to send them, it just didn't send them.
I find that I have to go to gmail and manually send each one from the outbox, they still say sending but they actually do send after doing that, because the recepient always says they get it.
So for example, if you send a pic from gallery, make sure you go to gmail after, go to the outbox then click on the mesage and then click send.
* To get to outbox go to gmail then click menu > labels
Sucks but works till we get froyo yo
i'm on a Samsung captivate running the leaked jh3 firmware. It's rooted and running SuperRooter and circle clock.
I noticed that after reflashing to the stock jh3 gmail would send
After installing superrooter gmail would send
After installing circle clock gmail would send
But after I backed up apps with titanium backup it stopped working. I think TiBU is causing an issue for me.
Anyone else have TiBU in your problems some how?
Update: Got it working
I did this:
Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, home button then filter, select all. Next Select gmail, clear data and clear cache. Then do the same with gmail storage.
Now it works!

This fixed it for me as well. I am unsure of what caused it to not work in the first place, though.
nice, clearing cache/data worked for me. i was gonna reflash my phone to stock and start from scratch. this saved me a ton of time. +1

my gmail is having the same issue as here, has anyone found a better solution to the problem then clearing the data as that deletes the currently stuck sending gmails.....
also I cant do the process above if its in a conversation, does anyone know how to open a sending gmail when it has all the other responses attached to the top of it??? that process onnly works for individually sent mails, not "replied" mails that bring other messages with it into the outbox.
anyone know how to detach it from the others or even open the data files to remove text using some sort of tool???
bump for some possible resolutions to force the message to send and or view the message to copy text...m even a wayto view data from it so clearing data wontclear message tryingto be sent???
please got a long, important email i need sent...
Seriously doubt this is just a Vibrant issue as it would happen A LOT to me with my MT3G. So far, knock on wood, it hasn't happened with the Vibrant.
I have the captivate running cog2.2 and deleting the cache under "manage applications" worked for me. I was going crazy! Thanks for the help!
I have Titanium Backup and actually had to restore my ROM with ROM Manager and a couple of apps from Titanium Backup and developed this problem. Clearing data and cache under the Gmail App and Storage + Reboot fixed the problem.
Danger
I too have been having issues with emails (and now SMS?) messages stuck in "sending..." mode. I had several emails from a month ago that I just now noticed didn't send, so I backed up gmail, cleared data, restored the emails and tried to send them individually. On the plus side, my emails did send.
On the minus side, some of them had pictures and my phone took the liberty of sending the wrong pictures from my camera (I was "sharing" pictures from the camera app). So to be safe, just delete the emails!
Dangerzone!

Gmail - Emails won't send?

Hoping someone can help me out. For the past couple of weeks, I haven't been able to send emails out using the Gmail app. I can compose, attach, save....but when I go to hit the send button, or choose send from the menu, the button grays out instantly and nothing sends. Doesn't even go to the outbox.
I've read around the forums for the TB and other devices having the same issues and tried all of the tips. I've wiped app data, app cache, uninstalled all updates, uninstalled the .apk, reinstalled from the market. None of those potential solutions have worked for me . Sync works fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: it's happened on multiple roms, so I know that isn't the issue.
Thank God!
Sorry...I am just happy I am not the only person dealing with this.
I am experiencing the EXACT same thing. I was just about to post everything you did...plus
I cleared all drafts from GMail. I cleared all sent mail from Gmail. I have tried unistalling and reinstalling gmail. I have tried serveral different methods for restoring everything....
- skipping setup and turning off auto-restore and auto sync restoring everything with TiBu
- skipping setup and turning off auto-restore and auto sync restoring everything with MyBuPro
- skipping setup and turning off auto-restore. Signing in to google letting sync complete including apps. Then waiting 15 mins...rebooting and manually restoring only my missing user apps via TiBu.
- loaded the 2.11.605.3 rooted and deodexed but otherwise stock RUU posted in the deveopment forum and still it happened after restoring all my apps.
Everytime...I think I have it beat...but within a day...NOPE! No sending again.
At first I thought it was restoring the apps...BUT
What is F'n strange is that it does not break as soon as the restore is finished. In fact I make sure to email myself at another email address each step of the way to make sure if I can identify where I am going wrong. Each time everything is fine at first.
It is usually between a few hours and a day when Gmail stops working.
This last time I noticed that the gmail app updates itself when I am done...even if I make sure not to in my restore. But I immediately sent myself an email to that address and it worked. Then several hours later...it was broken again.
Not sure if this is related...but I noticed that gmail duplicates that address in the drop down after it breaks. What I mean is that when I type the first few letters of my name....all my emails show up....but each only once. But after it breaks ... the email I sent the tests too shows up in that list twice.
This is the most maddening thing I have ever dealt with in my 3 years of owning some rooted droid or another.
I am tempted to just unroot and restore to stock...and pray that it goes away and does not plague me ever again after 11.11.11
Return to stock and see if the problem persists. If it does call up verizon, explain to them what is happening, may be a problem with the phone, not sure how, but just maybe.
I assume this is the best way?

So I tried wiping and loading a fresh install...and only reinstalled a few of the most vital and used apps.
Have had no problem for 3 days. So clearly it was a bad app causing this. I will experiment this weekend to see if I can figure out which one.
I've had this problem come and go, but telling Titanium Backup to wipe the data for the GMail app always fixes the issue for me.
Can you wipe data of primary gmail address? What happens then - does it take you to the startup screen to sign into gmail from scratch?

It just does it for the whole app... So basically all 4 of my GMail accounts had no messages on the phone until the app successfully synced with GMail. Sending normally works fine after that.
I'll try that next time. Thanks

[Q] GS3 Messaging app

I have a galaxy s3 and have been using it for the past 2 weeks. The default messaging app is not functioning properly.
Even though there are several messages and conversations in the inbox, it shows an empty inbox! After waitin for a minute or two, the messages appear. But it takes a very long time to open a single conversation. [conversations do not have more than 100 texts, there are only 6 conversations].
And sometimes, i just get a dialogue box "Messaging has stopped working". And then i'm not able to open the messaging app at all.
Restarting the phone solves the problem temporarily. The same problem starts again after a couple of hours of restarting.
Does this happen in all GS3s? All the apps are up to date. Clearing the ram doesnt help. What do i do ?
(1) are you rooted or anything
(2) did you try to delete the data/cache of the messaging app in the Application Management settings? (this might delete your sms tough)
(3) did you try a factory reset?
I never had problems with the stock SMS app though.

Rooted: No. I'm running the default rom.
Factory reset: I'm facing this problem since the last factory reset only. It was fine before that.
Cache files: No. I did not clear any files. I'll try clearing the 'data'.
You could try an alternative app such as gosms which u have used before on my old HTC desire as I hated the default messages app. It is a good app allowing you to theme and the such. Though personally I prefer the new Samsung app. But if I was having problems that would be my first port of call.

[Q] 3rd party sms apps wont work

I want a different SMS app different than TW or Hangouts (which happen to be the only two SMS apps that work on my device). I can read all my texts right away when I open the new 3rd party app, then when I click on anything and go back to the inbox all the texts disappear. Ive never sent a text sucessfully in any third party app, my contacts never show up either. Im rooted and I deleted the stock TW app and was very happy with Hangouts for awhile, but then I ran into some bootloop trouble and had to reset my phone via safestrap. Then the stock app magically reappeared and from then on no 3rd party SMS client will work.
Thanks

Sms badge reset

I'm using the stock lg sms app and the badge is showing an unread message. I've deleted all messages, cleared the data on the sms app and even moved the sms default to hangouts and back.
Any help would be appreciated.
Go into your recovery and wipe the cache partition it will force all of the apps to refresh their data that way the notification's will also reset. There are several things that cause this, this may just be a glitch but if that first wipe doesn't work try wipe the dalvik cache as well. Both of those wipes should help but if that still does not work try us tb to uninstall it then download a rom and extract the apk and re install it. If that doesn't work just re install the rom or go to a previous back up when you had the messages. Just read them. I personally recommend just going to cm it does not have all of the junk like the stock rom. If you do plan to extract the apk then look in the system app folder it may also be in the private app folder. Also try to switch to a different SMS app I think that the google messenger is the best. Mostly because it has material design and is the fastest over all.
Figured it out. I loaded textra, but kept the default on the LG app. In textra there was an old text, which was deleted last week. Removed the text, removed textra and badge issue resolved.
