Text message app... please help - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So for some reason my text message app always shows 1 hour behind on all the messages I receive. I hate that it does this cause it never shows the newest one last and I am having to search for the message that was sent...
Anyone else experience this? Or know how to fix it?
I am using the stock HTC messaging app... I know it is not a rom issue cause I can switch between roms and it stays the same. Unless this is a wide spread issue I am unaware of.

I recommended the EVO 3d to a colleague at work and he is now having issues opening text messages from his other half he has over 6123 on the device from here and when you try to open the thread it just says "loading" constantly
is this due to him having to many messsages from her?

over 6000 messages with one person? Yeah, I'd bet that was the problem...
Try having him download another SMS app such as handcent or gosms and see if they can open the thread.
Thanks Freeza!! resolved the issue (is it only the HTC messaging app that struggles like this?) i personally used GOsms on my DHD before moving over to my EVO3D

After a certain amount of texts the stock messaging app for every ROM loads forever or crashes when trying to open. I use Handcent and it always works. 10000+ texts.

I'm the exact opposite. I have over 5000 messages with one person and stock messaging app is fine for me. It's my 3rd party messaging app thats breaking. Good luck though!
Why not just delete some texts?

I had the same issue, kind of. I couldn't send a specific person any texts. The word "Loading" would pop up and nothing else would happen. I had to delete the contact and create it all over again.
For good sake, delete some messages. I mean, what, are they legal briefs? I used to always beck up Mt messages before flashing a new ROM. I finally realized, who the hell needs to keep texts (unless they're legal based). I don't bother anymore. But I realize that's nit the best solution for someone new to Android who things o'er may be better

[Q] Texting issues for Motorola Photon

Hello and thank you for taking he time to read this.I own a Motorola Photon with Android 2.3.4 as my operating sytem. Since the latest update, I have been having issues with my text messaging. Its strange as how it happens but what the totality of my issue is that when I reply to individuals I send text messages too ,other individuals would receive my text message that I did not reply to. For example:
Contact A sends me a text message "Hello how are you doing?" and Contact B send me a text message " Bring milk on your way home". Now, when I respond back to Contact A by saying "Im fine thank you and how have you been?, Contact B will receive the text message that was meant for Contact A.This seems to occur almost on a daily basis. Is there more folks out there that is having this same issue? And if so, please let me know what I would need to do to resolve this matter. I did update profile and I did have sprint talk a look at it but they are claiming its MOTOTROLAs/Android issues and that I will have to wait for them to push a fix.
Also, I am not using any 3rd party text app or have a rooted phone. Im using the standard MOTOBLUR launcher! I was using the standard motorola messaging app and had the problem as I described to which I started using the GO Messaging app which had the same issues and errors.I am back using the motorola messaging app.
Please let me know if there is a fix for this problem or if there are different alernatives that I can do to avoid this problem.I have been in contact with Nick, [email protected], who has stated that that a fix was sent out regarding this but I am .....I am still constantly having the text messaging issues and its causing a major problem where I'm always second guessing as to whom I'm replying to in my messages. Please let me know if there is going to be a major fix or a software update for this problem?
Please provide some type of feedback!
Thank you again for your time!
I do not have this problem on my Photon, but I did on my Evo for a minute. Twice in a month I happen to approach my mother with sexual comments!!!!
More or less, I cleaned up and deleted all my text messages. Here is what 'I' think the problem was. Lets say I know a girl name Lori and we text all the time. I did not have 30 text from her over a month, I had 1 text with 500 replies in it!!! Take the above and times it by 80+ people............
Saved them and deleted them all. Have not had the problem since! (Come to think of it, it was November 2010. I was joking with a friend over thanksgiving day sexual "Treat", my mother called me with "Excuse me?" and repeted what I had typed to the friend. I looked at text message and it was addressed to friend, but somehow..........anyway, that is how I fixed it!
---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------
I wanted to come back here and address this, although my last post is true and may seem funny, looking at the BIG picture, it was not and a very serious issue. What did or did not my boss receive? The girl that I REALLY liked, what did she receive? If my daughter asked me for money and I replied "Sure, I'll send you $50.00?", who did it go to?
After my mother's call, my mind was a wreck for 3 or 4 days thinking of what I sent and who received what.
If they are THAT important to you, get Titanium Backup and save them. Then blow them away weekly or so. I keep one screen of text messages, no need to scroll.
+1 To the suggestion above. I also had this problem occasionally on my old HTC Hero and I'm pretty sure when I would delete a bunch of threads and clean out all the text messages stored in the phone, this issue went away. Still an annoying problem though and it would be nice if it never happened.
As for backing up SMS/MMS messages, I recommend a simple Free app from the Market called "SMS Backup & Restore". It makes saving/backing up texts very easy -- just 2 or 3 touches of your screen, and it puts them all in a single .xml file that can easily be pulled off your phone or card via USB, emailed to yourself, etc.
Titanium Backup Pro. PERIOD!!! $6.58 and worth ever cent!!!
EDIT: I backup every 3:00AM Monday, then every few weeks move the backup to Desktop AND my 16Gb USB on my keychain!
Sort of bringing back an old thread, but my texts are not coming through any more. I can send them, but I dont get any. I do get mms. My wife, who is sitting right next to me, gets them and sends them, so I don't think it is Sprint. Might be a Sprint/Android thing though because she has a blackberry. Its been two days without a text and I normally do 20-50 texts a day.
I am stock rooted and using the stock messaging app. Nothing has changed from 2 days ago with the problem started. I've tried rebooting, roaming, and home only.
Any ideas?

Read back in this thread and you will find your answer. As I use my phone more and more, I still find the need to clean up worthless text to clear s**t up! Pandora lags, ZumoCast stutters, Facebook crashes. I blow away 60 to 80 text, problem solved!

Yeah, I deleted all my texts messages that I had stored. Still have not received a text, but I do get mms still. Tried updating PRL and Profile. Tried rebooting several times.... Still nothing.
Try sending yourself a text message. Sometimes I get a bunch that haven't come through by doing that. Also, install Google Voice as it will get messages too sometimes even if they don't make it to your sms app

@my2cents, did that work for you too?

Group messages like iPhone

Is it possible? It seems like I'm missing a small setting somewhere. I've tried using Handcent and checked the "Thread Group Conversation", but it still does not work. iPhone does it correctly like a message board. You send a text to four people and you carry on a conversation in a single thread. I'm on Liquid's ICS v1.5 MR2V7 JMOD on my Thunderbolt if that matters.

There are apps out there that make this possible, such as the Talk app by Google and that is included on this ROM. GroupMe is another app that is found on the Android Market that is capable of group messaging.
Only down side is that they have to have it installed on their phone as well.

Thanks for the reply, but that doesn't really help when my buddy sends me a text along with 6 other people. I can't respond to all of them at the same time, only 1 at a time.
Somebody has to have figured this out.

I know that if I get a forwarded message and reply to it, it gets sent to everyone else that the message was forwarded to... it can get annoying quick. Lol.
Maybe those people aren't replying to the forwarded message, and then reply back to the sender only through another text message?

SMS quirk - saves the last word as a saved message

I've been having a weird issue where after I send a text message, the last word of the text message will be saved as a new message to that recipient. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
If so, anyone have any ideas on how to correct it? It's more annoying than it is troubling, but would really like to have the issue go away.
I've been having the same thing happen to me. Seems to happen when I send the text and then exit immediately the app.
Edit: I'm using Swype

chalk me up as a 3rd person having the inconvenience. I'm using Swype beta. I thought turning off next word predict would fix it, but it didn't. I can't say if it happened on the stock keyboard. And it doesn't seem to happen every time. I think putting punctuation at the end of the text keeps it from happening
Happens to me too.

Same here. It was working fine for a little while, but then started up
Happens here to...I am using Swype though. Might be the cause?
I use the Swype feature that came with the phone and I'm not having any issues with words being saved as a draft.
/Knock on wood.
maybe the phone just...
*puts on sunglasses*
wants the last word.
YEEEEEEAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

[Q] Any one else getting missing text messages?

Im running liquid smooth kit kat version Build Feb 15 with Polluti0n's Rom Patch. Some incoming text messages seems to disappear into oblivion. I've seen instances where text messages wont show until a reboot of the phone but nnever where the messages simply never show up. Has anyone else experienced this?

You had to know this was coming.........
If a text doesnt show up, how do you kniw its missing?
On my phone, but my guess is, you are new and post count is too low to post in development.
Have you searched the thread for similar issue?
I would say if it has not been documented before, you will be asked if this was a clean install?
Next would be to you format system?
I would flash again as I always flash twice anyway.

Ive only been running this rom for a couple of weeks but there have been maybe 4 to 5 instances where friends or coworkers have sent me a text that never made it to my phone. They did not get a "failed message" response either. None of these messages have ever shown up on my phone. I haven't seen any one else talking about it in the main thread for this rom so I thought I would post here and see if any one else has had this happen on any rom. In the past when a Rom had problems with receiving text messages I would reboot my phone and then they would all come piling in. I haven't reinstalled the rom yet so I suppose that is the next step to try.
Did some more digging and I think it may have to do with Google hangouts. It seems there have been quite a few people who have had problems with Hangouts being the default SMS app.
