[Q] Strange SMS BUG. Please Help. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Hello,
I have a problem. My phone randomly rebooted today and when I go back into the phone all my recent messages have been deleted and only old messages (from a couple days ago) show up. I have Handcent installed and deleted it. When I turn off and on my phone, Handcent reappears and again only my old messages appear. Can someone please help. I don't know why Handcent keeps restoring. I am not rooted either in case it matters.
Thank You

Do you have delete old messages in either the stock messaging or Handcent app?
It is a setting you can turn off, I think its on by default.

No I have that off. The strange part is that the Handcent app keeps restoring after I restart the phone. I just want it off my phone without having to wipe the whole phone.

HELP! SMS Problem.

Cannot access any of my sms messages, phone is vibrating on receipt of a message. However no notification, or message is displayed on any software.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking about just going back to Windows Mobile after all this hassle! lol.
Also, if i send a message...it seems to lock up even though they send... If I go into messages again afterwards it appears in the list... however if I try and open the message I have sent this also just freezes.
Any ideas?
Can you give us any more information?
Has the phone always done this or just started recently?
What firmware is the phone running?
Have you installed any other SMS applications?

Please help: Receiving one empty MMS for every SMS that I get

Hi guys
It has happened twice now that my phone has started receiving an MMS prior to every SMS that comes in. The MMS is empty and it comes from "unknown".
The first time a couple of weeks ago, I was on the phone for 14 hours to fix it; re-installed everything on it including flashing SBF's and starting clean. Nothing helped. After a day the issue magically took care of itself.
Now it started again, 4-5 days ago. I have installed everything fresh (SBF to 1.2.6, 1.5.7 OTA & 1.8.3 OTA), did a factory reset & formated both internal & external storage space; issue still there on an absolutely stock phone. Called the helpdesk of my provider as well, they've never heard of the issue before.
On a desperate attempt to fix it I accidentally removed the messaging apk, took a good while to find one again..
Does anyone have any other ideas I can try? Please, it's driving me mad..

Thanks for your help. I found it easier to start a less congested thread with all the background summarized. Hope I didn't crush the internet by doing so..
Are you using Handcent or Chomp? Is whatever you are using your "default" message app? I was getting duplicate MMS messages until I went into my actual contact list, selected a contact, then tried to send a message to them, it then prompted me to select my message app. I am using Handcent, so I selected Handcent and put a check mark in use as default. I no longer have the problem. Hope this helps...

Thanks for your reply, I am using Chomp sms and it is the default messaging app. It's not that though, I am receiving an empty MMS 5-10 seconds before every SMS I receive. It was the first thing I tried when I returned to stock as I describe above, issue was there. Immensely frustrating..
Bumping this up, need urgently advise as I'm about to throw the damn thing out the window..
Just spoke with the o2 helpdesk, there's nothing they can see /. They have now shut off my data connection, I have disabled all data and I am still getting that fckng MMS!!!
Update: Solved. Got a new SIM. Or that I asked them to freeze my data connection & the new SIM kick-started it again & removed the issue. Goes to show again the incompetence of (many) helpdesk agents; they insisted it was phone related..

Go SMS Pro sending issues

Ok, I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 on T-Mobile, not sure if this is the same for all carriers.
I have been using Go SMS Pro. Never had any issues till they updated it a few updates ago..I have uninstalled it and reinstalled. The problem is, that some Text (SMS)messages won't send, they FAIL. It don't matter if it's short (5 or less words) or long. or to who it gets sent to. I can, however, exit out of this app, and try to send it using the stock App that came with the phone and it sends without any issues. I am lost at this point as to why it keeps happening, or how to fix it.
Has anyone else experienced this isuue and if so, how have you fixed it?
I have alos tried to use Hancent SMS and it also did the same thing..
hmm i'm having a similar problem, but mine does send after a while instead of failing to send completely. Sometimes, my text messages will be stuck during the "sending" animation, where the green arrow just keeps loading and doesn't stop (which means it's not sent out). After a while, it will send out, but that's usually after i send a txt to someone else or if i exit and restart GO SMS PRO, or do something else. I'm not sure exactly but it just works after a while.
It's nothing to do with bad signals either. I'm not sure if it's because I've updated my Motorola Milestone to CM7 RC1, because i've never had this problem before on CM7 RC0. I dunno, it could be due to basebands as well? For my Milestone, I can choose to switch between basebands in the settings (provided by CM7 itself), but i've never had this problem before so i dunno....
I actually gave up on that app...happened quite too many times.. I now use Hancent SMS and never have this issue again... It also was happening to a co-worker and she did the same thing after I told her about it..

Sorry, as silly as this sounds...I gave up on this app a long time ago and went with Hancent SMS Pro...only had this issue once with them and found out on my type of phone Galaxy S2, I can't disable the other SMS apps in Handcent, I had to leave it enabled...so try that with Go SMS Pro...I don't know/remember if Go SMS had this option in the Settings...Good Luck...let us know if that worked or not...
Had the same problem using Go SMS with two SIM cards. Both failed to send to certain numbers; so it's not an issue with providers. Solved this way: Go SMS settings, More tools, SMS blocker, Settings, disable all black list and white lists. The app runs normally again. The developers should take note of this.
hhhmmmm... same here... I can't send SMS using GO SMS Pro to my Samsung Galaxy Note 1. But I can send message using the ordinary app here which has only 80 characters.... What should I do? How can I fix it? But it works in my Motorola phone.. hhhmmm....
Just go to your app manager, then choose ho sms pro, then below the premissions part. You can see the options on sending premium sms. Select ASK and try if it works again...

Messaging Freezes

Sup guys,
I've got the Galaxy S3 from Optus in Australia, and I've used SMS Backup and Restore to move my messages from my S2 to my S3. It works for a couple of hours and I can send and receive messages but after a while it refuses to start until I delete mmssms.db and .db-journal and replace it with a backup.
Soooooo any of you guys faced this problem?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers.
I havent restored anything but sometimes my whole phone freezes for about 5 seconds when recieving a text regardless of what im doing on the phone
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I've tried doing this too. It's not the phone freezing for 5 seconds before loading. It's that message don't work at all. You can't do anything with messages. You try opening the messaging app, and after a while, the phone says it is not responding, and I can force close it if I want, or keep waiting. Whenever I get sent a text, it restarts the phone. I can't do anything with messages, and have had to hard reset it so I can. I've tried about 4 different apps, all promising to work, but none have.
Does anyone else know how to transfer messages from my S2 to S3 (I have a lot)

[Q] SMS and Call log not updating?

Struggling with a recent problem.
Using omega 43.3... I've no idea if that is the problem or not, but can't remember it happening before that (was omega 30ish before)
When I receive an SMS (using Handcent as default), the notification shows and if I click on it, it takes me to the Handcent threaded screen. However, if I then close that and it opens the default window (with all the contacts sms listed) it isn't there. If I then close Handcent, and then reopen it, it is?!
The same thing is happening with Call Log... Missed calls etc aren't showing when I access them from the dropdown menu... unless I then close the Call Log app and then go back into it.
I've tried various kernels and modems, and also tried reinstalling handcent, wiping cache/dalvic, fixing permissions etc. Nothing seems to make a difference. Currently on stock modem and kernel

Sorted it. Installed Ultimarom.
call log, messages, viber... not showing new events
I had this problem on JB 4.3 stock samsung sm-n7505 and after zillion read pages about it and rebooting and removing battery and sim and after I deleted entire contact list (by mistake) it turned out that it was the most idiotic problem you can ever think of.
While was in the tight pocket phone unlocked somehow(using pattern) and simply unchecked box (which is deep in the menu) "use network provided time/date" and date was set to a date 5 days earlier. So, all logs and messages were actually in the phone(I could see them in notifications and could send messages and calls), only I did not see them because they were back in the list in the place of 5 days ago. I just checked the damn box and everything was normal again(except my contact list (( ) Crazy. Hope my small contribution will help somebody. Rock on!!!! :good:
