Hi Guys
Im just get a samsung galaxy s2 this week and am having a small problem.
Ive looked around for answers but cant find any. Ive just remembered how helpful this site was a when I had my HD2 so thought id ask here.
The problem im having is deleting messages. In the messaging app you can press and hold on a thread then a box comes up asking if you want to delete. I hit yes and all the messages go but it leaves behind the empt thread to that contact. Ive tried deleting through thr menu, hand sent and clearing the data and catch from manage apps menu but noth seems do get rif of the empty threads. Any one had this problem too?
no problems here i hit the delete thread and it deletes
Just done a factory reset and the threads have gone. sent some new messages to test it and right back to the begining again. New threads wont delete. Only the messages inside the threads delete and the contact is left in the message app. Please any help would be great. Im tempted to take it back to the shop and get a new one.
maybe some thing in settings i carnt even replicate ur problem
Well I took it back to the shop and they gave me a new phone which worked fine. It wasnt untill I used backup pro to re load my apps and data that I noticed it was happening again. Must be somthing to do with this. After another factory reset and not using backup pro everything seems to be working fine.

hey guys.
something weird happend on my athena. all of a sudden, the messaging service stopped working. "messaging" wont open. even the sms feature of spbdiary wont load. i cant receive sms. i simply cant send/receive sms. even if i use different applications for sending sms. i dont do rom upgrades. and i havent installed/configured anything today.
anybody knows what i should do first? im hoping there might be a workaround other than a hardreset. i already did softresets a couple of times.

Try flashing Mitchy's rom.
the thing is, after reading all through the horror stories here at the forum, concerning flashing roms, im still hesitant to do it myself.
unless maybe you can guide me through all the way tootalk?
i have x7501 bought from the states. also, in a few words, what are the best things that mitchys rom have?
im surprised nobody else had experienced this problem before.
ciao!
if you installed any of those "lost and found" tools, then that's most likely the problem
since i had exactly your problem, until i removed those programs.
those programs might be good,
but unfortunately, it takes your SMS hostage, and wont release it.
making your SMS useless.
so i opted to have SMS, and well too bad if the phone gets lost, then it's lost.
yay! time to buy a new one the perfect excuse
hey allgamer,
what do you mean by "lost and found" tool? you mean like those security apps that sends messages to the owner just in case the phone got stolen? i have two of those installed, but i installed them a couple of months ago, and i never had any problems concerning them.
i'm now researching on how to flash my rom with mitchy.

Sorry for the delay dude. Shoot me a PM with your yahoo or AIM/AOL id and I can walk you through the steps to flashing with his ROM. To be honest, it's way faster and better than any factory ROM. I'm at the point now where If I don't even want to touch any PDA's with factory ROM's anymore lol.... I suggest you read up on how to CID unlock the phone first before you anything else.
messaging comes back if i remove memorycard
the messaging service works whenever i remove the memorycard, so i'm beginning to think that there might be an app that's messing around with the system.
another problem though, after i put back the memory card, the system created a "memory card" folder on the root file system. and the real memorycard now is called "memorycard2". the inbox folder has been created inside "memory card" folder.
anyway, i'm trying to muster up my courage and am going to accept tootalk's generous offer of helping me up with my very first rom flashing.
UPDATED:
i renamed the folder "memory card" which the system created, to "memory card err" and then rebooted. the messaging service is now back to normal.
but i'll still check out on the flashing.
ciao!
sooooo yea. haha. I had an issue with my phone but this started a few days before. I would click delete thread, and it would take that thread and delete all the messages but the thread still stays shown up in my messaging with (no subject) as the title. they wont permanently delete. I ended up doing a reset to stock the other day and of coarse, did a titanium backup, I couldnt find the file in titanium backup which backs up all the texts so I could uncheck it. so now theyre all back and its doing the same thing again. wont delete any text message threads.
anyone else ever have this issue?? I've looked all over XDA and cant find anyone else who's posted something similar.
Do you have an app like sms backup+ or an equivilant that restores/backups the sms?
Anytime I flash a rom, or ODIN, all sms are gone. Never heard of someone not able to get rid of them. Almost sounds like something is making them sync back...
haha i know right? I used titanium backup and it synced everything back up to where it was, all settings and contacts popped back up, and text messages. Works like a charm. and it deffinitely wiped everything. but I was having this problem before that anyways. and now after the reset, I am still having this darn issue haha. Its beyond me, and as far as I've looked around here in XDA, no one else seems to have this issue, with any android device for that matter
edit: forgot to mention. no I dont have SMS backup or anything. just regular stock texting app
UPDATE: I was looking further into this, all text threads that I delete show up underneath the other on the thread list and are showing as "Dec 31st, 1969"
And again, whenever I try to delete a thread, It will delete all the text messages within it, but the thread remains at the bottom of the list and shows "(no subject)"
something is wrong here haha
could it be the kernel I placed on here? I put on the Voodoo KA7 stock kernel from here ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870480
About 2 days ago my galaxy S3 started crashing the app when i would i would copy something to clipboard in that particular app. Happened in messages, contacts, and I'm testing what other apps.
but no1 has figured out a fix yet. I am running go launcher and have a feeling that, that might be the issue. I really don't want to factory reset -_- but if I have to i will. anybody?
if you think that Go luancher maybe the issue, why not just download another launcher from the market and see if it goes away while your running that launcher ---- i would do this first instead of a factory reset.

just tried apex launcher, and even went back into touchwiz and the same problem occurs. ill hold down a message or a contact. press copy message text or whatever else, and the black screens and a FC. Stock browser and stock contacts. I tried copying text from an email, but the interesting thing now is if i go to long press in any composition field i don't get a past option. Just a "clipboard" option and pressing that doesn't do anything
Have you tried Wiping Delvik Cache and fixing permissions in CWM??
I had the same problem and a factory reset sorted it out....try doing it

Hi everyone,
I also had this problem, I found a solution without do a factory reset.
The app in question is TestService.
First you have to clean the directory /data/clipboard, delete everything in it with root explorer. After that, go to manage applications and find the app TestService, uninstall the updates.
After a reboot, copy/paste should work again.

What did you do? Having the same problem since last week. I hope you can help.
It will crash whatever you try to copy from. The factory reset was the only thing that fixed mine seeing as I didn't want to root my S III immediately.

read the link, there's a fix in that forum for rooted users
same problem on tab

Same thing happening to me on my samsung galaxy tab. Started two days ago, as well. Samsung tech support told me to reset to factory. I don't want to, I have too many apps, picture, videos etc on my tab. BUMMED I read about stopping testservice. Did that, still no joy. Said to clear data/clipboard folder. I checked, and NO clipboard folder can be found in my data folder.
Hello guys!
I didn't find answer using search so i must make new topic.
Last week crazy stuff start to happen on my s3. Twice a day, sometimes more or less every sms i have are gone, when i am typing new nothing showing in inbox. After restart phone everything back to norm.
I was thinking that problem is with go sms pro which i am using, but when bug happen in stock message app there is no sms too.
I'm running stick jelly bean without root.
Any idea what it can be? And how fix this?
Thx!

What if factory reset didn't help?
Hi,
Sorry if this question has been answered elsewhere, but I couldn't seem to find anything on it, and everything I did find seemed to mostly be for Froyo on much older phones... The cause might still be the same but don't know.
Anyway, I recently installed SynergyRom on my Galaxy S4, I'm also admittedly a hoarder of text messages, and have 11,000 or so text messages backed up through sms backup & restore. I kind of like having them all on my phone (yes, I've read before that sometimes restored messages cause minor issues, but I like it *shrug*). Anyway, I restored the messages to my phone, and eventually when I was texting someone, the stock messaging app got a force close, after which, all of my messages had disappeared. I didn't think much of it, restored again, and then today when I received a text the app force closed again, and all my messages disappeared again. Any thoughts?
Hopefully the answer isn't just I need to be less crazy about saving texts, but if that's really the cause, that's it.. Anyway, help/suggestions would be appreciated. T hanks!
Waiting for the answer too. I did not root my phone or anything, just the original phone from store. Sometimes the messages in message app disappear. The phone shows "there is no message", the only thing I can do is create new message. After I restart the phone, the messages come back in the message app.
I know by default in the messaging settings that there is a setting check box for "delete old messages....seems after so many message it will delete from a certain point...something like 200 messages...deletes oldest first. Go in and uncheck the box...see if that helps. Having that many texts is nuts...your a texting border...

Yea, I know about limits, and that's definitely not it.. I've heard other people say the text messages come back after you restart, but I'm not sure if that's only if you restart right away without sending more texts.. Mine didn't come back after a restart at least, but I didn't restart until much later.. Thanks for the suggestions so far though!

I konw some data recoverying program will help to restore text messages from phone directly.
Not sure about retrieving from an app.
Visit CNET you might find something useful.
Was this ever solved? I'm having this too on STock mj7
