there doesnt appear to be anything in search relating to this so here goes.......
.....im getting sick of htc changing so many features and settings on this phone everytime they release an update. ive got another issue now. not mentioning the dozen ive managed to sort myself in the last day or so.
my text messages are now all over the place. if i recieve a message i hit the message icon on the scroll bar and it opens. reply and then close. normal situation. however. when i want to send another message to the same person either by opening their contact info or hitting the message icon and finding the conversation there is no info at all. wtf!!!
if i go to all messages i get a list of all recipients and the last message either sent or recieved but when i click on that person to reply the entire conversation, 1,2 10, 100 messages that are in brackets next to their name are nowhere to be seen. ive tried removing contact pictures, deleting numbers and attaching them to the contact when a message comes in. no luck. been through the messaging settings, cant find anything else to check or uncheck to resolve this situation. ive no contacts on my sim card just the phone.
cheers. i do need to know if its a general thing with this rom or is my phone just playing up? anyone else noticed this? communications is a big part of messaging and as all phones nowadays seem to be able to record and display conversations with each contact i find it hard to believe htc suddenly decided to bin the idea.
anyone got any suggestions as to how i recover this option as i cant be asked to remember the last few messages of every conversation i have. not to mention important information that i cant access if i cant pull up more than one previous message!
I have the new stock Rom 3.14, and I haven't encountered anything like you've described here. What application did you use to restore the backed-up messages after you flashed the ROM?
fixed this. i had installed a cab recently which disables the annoying 'sent message successfully' notification. but this was also causing the above mentioned problem. unistalling the cab means ive got my conversations back and all contacts/messages link properly. see here for all info and further links... http://www.htchd2forum.com/general-htc-hd2-discussion/more-hatred-for-new-3-14-rom-(conversations)/
My wife and I both grabbed new S2's on Sunday. Since then when text each other our messages often come through as emails, and the from number is often in a weird format. This is irregular, and I have found no solution. I have called and gone int he store, and neither avenue has given me any form of solution.
This only happens when my wife and I send each other messages. Messages are absolutely fine with everyone else.
Here is an example, I will create a new message to "Jessica" I will send the message. That message will likely show up on her phone in proper SMS format from me. She will reply, I usually receive that one fine as well. I then reply back, this time the message has switched into a strange email syntax type format. It will also show up as a new thread from my cell number @txt.att.net instead of from my cell number or contact name. Often instead of it coming through as the above example the number will change into a different number all together, 1410000021 which in no way resembles our actual numbers.
It doesn't matter if I initiate the conversation or it she does. We have cleared all message threads, history, and contact information attempting to flush out errors. We have tried other SMS apps, such as Handcent, still no luck. I have also tried a different SMSC number.
Any suggestions?
Try a factory reset?
Stock rom? Rooted?

we have not done a factory reset, we are new to android, if we did that would we lose all of our contacts, media, and installed apps?
They are both stock.

Do you have AT&T's new-ish (at least to me it is, had never heard of it till i got my SGS2) messages app, that incorporates all your phone calls, texts, voicemails into one app? It uses MMS to send you transcribed voicemail in a visual voicemail type layout. I haven't played with it myself, but my wife is using it (on her sgs2). I'm wondering if it could be a setting in there somewhere that is triggering duplicate messages?? My wife isn't getting duplicates, but just tossing it out there....
I don't believe we have the messaging app you mention. I am not sure though as we are new to Android so I am unable to know if this is the newish app. It does not have voice-mail included in it though. We have tried using both the stock app and Handcent, neither fix the solution. Also, its not duplicates we are receiving, we are only getting one copy of each message, they are just showing up as emails.
Hey,
I'm having an issue and I'm not sure how to debug or where to seek for solution. Sender told me, that she sent me two messages, received reports, but I had received none. This is really hard to pick out, because if sender gots the report then he usually dont send the message again or tell me about it, unless it was an important message. I just installed Ghostly SMS app, but I'm not sure if it is the case, as my SGS should not be missing of ram, and I wasn't doing anything that would be using ram excessively (probably phone was just at the pocket at this time).
Any ideas how to find the source of such behaviour? My sim card is new, and I'm running omega v43.1 with stock kernel.
Thanks
Usually that is caused by your or the sender's network provider and not one of your device's.
I always notice it wheo sending from Germany to Luxembourg. I get SMS' like 8 hours later (if ever) but sender almost immediately gets the notification.

Problem is that I'm not using a lot of sms so it is difficult to catch some regularities in such behaviour. But maybe there is something for which I could look in logcat?
If it's caused by your provider as I suspect then your device does not get the sms. Unless you have access to your provider's logs you can't read them.
I've had people call me on sim cards that were not in a device and have it ring through or Sms that were "received" by devices which were not powerd on for months. So yeah =)

Ok, ghostly SMS just managed to restore 2 messages which didn't show in default messaging app. That makes me sure, that the phone actually receives these messages, so it's not the fault of the provider or sim card.
These 2 messages were received in a different time. After I noticed first one missing, I texted the sender to ask if she wrote me anything else, but she didn't and her answer was also received as a ghost sms. No huge resource consumming apps were running at this point - phone was on the desk with nothing running and screen turned off.
You could try a non-stock Sms app with a priority receiver, such as Go sms.

Thanks, will give it a shot. But do you think that I should keep the default sms app? There's an option in go sms pro that it can handle messages if the stock app is uninstalled - I could do this using titanium backup or something and restore it in case of problems.
Ok, I did two things:
1. Tried installing Go sms pro along with stock message app - problem still occurs.
2. Tried uninstalling stock sms app and making go sms pro the only app which has to handle sms sending-receiving. But honestly I'm not sure about the results... First because ghostly sms is not working in such scenario, so I had no feedback from this app. Second is that nobody told me that I missed some messages and didn't answer.
So I'm stuck again and have no idea what to do. It happens on different network trans-receivers (I mean its not location dependent), also it is not sender-dependend (I miss even spam messages) and it's not sim-related because I had my sim changed. I believe that there must be something with the stock sms app, otherwise there wouldn't be apps like ghostly sms.
I have had similar issues chronically. Likewise found ghostly sms has received some that stock didn't receive.
In past I have found Go did no better. However, I have not rooted and did not remove stock app.
Among "power but non-root users", I don't think of myself as having lots of apps, but compared to more "normal" users, it is a lot. So I suspect that like me, you may encounter more memory issues than you are aware. I regularly run: facebook, fb messenger, accuweather, hacker keyboard, nitro touchdown, stock email (couple accounts), mypod, xabber, business calendar, stock browser.
Another observation though is the bloat that occurs in the messages database. I receive probably 20-50 messages each day that I can quickly delete (from automated monitor system). If I go to settings -> applications -> all, then I can see data and cache size for Messages is perhaps several MB. Clearing these, I then open Messages and it apparently rebuilds the database, as data size now quite reasonable. No messages lost. If I also reboot, it may send messages that it apparently thinks were not successful (sometimes it is correct, sometimes recipient reports it is a duplicate). However, after this, message delivery seems more reliable for a while.
Now, it doesn't take long for the unreliability to return, at least not 100%, so I will continue running ghostly. But with the occasional rebuild, I no longer have the situation where it seems I am losing most of my incoming, which I have seen.
So, it would seem that the messaging database can get corrupt or performance becomes so poor that it is effectively corrupt.
YMMV, obviously, but hopefully these observations help someone find the real problem. This is a very annoying and serious issue.

Hey,
I've almost forgot about this thread. I managed to deal with the problem by removing V6 supercharger script from the Omega rom which I use and it seems that for a few weeks now I havent lost any message.
However in your case this must be something different. In information about messaging app I have that the app takes 4.17MB, Data takes 16kB and cache is 0B. Version of my messaging app is reported as 4.1.2.-I9300XXELLC

I'm using Omega rom too and I have the same problem. I got all SMS with Ghostly SMS. I notice the problem appear after doing a Nandroid restore or Omega upgrade without full wipe. I will now remove supercharge to see what happen.

I tried the same thing (Clear data) for the SMS app didn't help.
Ghostly SMS work.
Like I just mention I will try to disable supercharge to see what happen.
Problem:
Occasional text messages are not "received". Just as a rough number, I'd say over 90% of SMS sent to me, I get. But I have been able to narrow down the problem with the missing ones.
I only noticed the issue because while at home or when I have headphones in, I have tasker set up to announce the name of the sender of a new SMS to me. Once in a while, it would say the name, but I wouldn't get a new text notification sound nor would I get a new message in any messaging app.
Phone info:
Nexus5
Android 4.4.4 rooted
Stock rom, kernel, etc.
Carrier is T-Mobile
Messaging apps used (not at the same time) are Hangouts, Smitten SMS, Google Messenger
Useful information:
1. This is NOT an iMessage issue. Missing messages have come from both android and apple phones. The last time this happened was today from a S5.
2. This is NOT a carrier issue. The message is received by the OS.
3. This is NOT an app issue. The message is not picked up by stock messaging app or any others.
4. This is NOT a formatting/encoding issue. I have people resend the message (copy/paste) and the resend always goes through and is shown in the messaging app.
5. This is NOT a group messaging issue. These are one on one conversations.
6. The missing message does NOT show up in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db.
7. If I set up Tasker to log all incoming SMS, it IS able to log the missing message AS IT IS RECEIVED BY THE OS.
My theory:
Tasker can catch these missing messages, but the mmssms.db won't see them. So that tells me that somewhere between the phone getting the message and the phone logging it to the mmssms.db to be read by messaging apps, there is a failure. I do not know Android well enough to precisely say where this failure is happening. Because Tasker isn't logging them as they hit the DB but prior to that.
If someone more knowledgeable with how the android os handles SMS wants to chime in here, that would be great.
Anyone else experiencing the same? Any additional ideas here?
I am experiencing the same issue and searching to find a solution.
Android 4.4.4
Motorola Moto G
Cricket is my carrier
Did you ever find a solution? Thanks!
I notice that in the Messages app, when receiving messages from a sender that has no number (typically OTPs from bank), when long pressing the message I am only able to delete it or view message details. Has anyone else experienced this too? Seems like a bug to me since my s7 was able to copy such messages fine.
True.. very strange as well! It was there in previous Galaxies.
