I just wiped my phone and installed an updated version of my rom (EVO 4g and Mik rom). I used the default messaging app to make a backup of all my txt messages. Did my wipe and install. After booting back up I used the default messaging app to restore all the messages. Looks ok in the default app, but in handcent, it's showing me the oldest message first and I have to click on 'show earlier messages' to see the newer messages.
It's got them all marked with the correct dates. Anyone have any idea how to get it to display them correctly with the newest messages displayed on the bottom and clicking 'showing earlier messages' will pull up the older messages, not the newer?

I don't use Go SMS too often, but I just noticed that I'm having a problem with the time stamp.
I have a Droid X, running 2.3.
When the message comes in and I get the popup notification, the time is correct (i.e. 7:30am). When I go to view the message in the message list, the time is 4 hours earlier (i.e. 3:30am).
The time in the stock messaging app is correct.
I even tried a wipe data on Go SMS and started with a totally clean install and saw the same thing. I also recieved texts from 2 different people and again saw the same thing.
Sent messages from GoSMS appear with the correct time stamp.
Any ideas?
I tried to import my messages from IOS to Android 4.2 using isms2droid and SMS Backup & Restore. Now, I can see all the people that I sent a message to, but as soon as I try to go into the conversation, Messaging crashes and all the conversations are gone, I can still use the phone just not Messaging. However, restarting the phone allows me to see the names again, but again as soon as I enter a conversation they disappear. I tried to delete all the messages using SMS Backup & Restore but it just stalls on the "deleting messages" box. Now I can't delete any messages nor send any new ones, can anyone help please?

It happens sometimes that the Mms.apk is "overloaded". Your phone had zero messages and after the restore there are 1000 or more.
But can you open the converted SMS dump with the backup and restore app? Only to be sure that the dump is a valid XML and readable.
An alternative messaging app could fix the problem, because it could push the stock mms in the direction.

It can be viewed so I don't think there's a problem with the XML, isn't there any other way to delete the messages? Maybe directly through one of the folders?
So I've been having this weird problem since I got my phone.
I notice that basically any text messages I restore from a backup program, whether it's SMS Backup/Restore, MyBackup, Titanium Backup, Handcent SMS, etc etc - the date always shows the current date and not the original message date.
This is kind-of a problem, since my messages have occasionally wiped themselves out leaving me only stuck with the backups.
So I took the .db file from the /data folder (I actually got the exact location from this forum), and tried opening it with a SQLite editor on my PC. Surely enough, the date column was "0" for every single message.
Is there a particular reason why this is? And how does the phone even store the dates you send/receive messages if they aren't stored with the SMS's themselves? I need some way to back up and restore my messages that will preserve the dates - right now literally the only option is a complete nandroid backup, which is a real pain.
Hey guys, I was hoping you might be able to help me with a problem I've been having.
I have an HTC One, stock rom with custom launcher/home screen.etc, and I am trying to manage a very large volume of sms (50,000+).
When I first got this phone, I never told it to delete old messages as I liked to create backups. However, now the phone is just too bogged down as a result of all these messages.
I would like to have the phone start deleting messages once they get above a certain number. So to do this, I created a backup of all the SMS messages using the HTC stock messaging app as well as the SMS backup+ app. I then deleted all the messages, and used the stock SMS restore feature with the "delete old messages" option selected under the settings.
The problem is this thing has been running for 6 hours now, and I am not sure it is getting anywhere. How would you guys handle this situation?
Thanks for your help!
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 on CM11 (even updated to latest nightly)
I had an issue pop up where the "Message Not Sent" notification would keep popping up. I would hit it, but it would bring me to the main text message list (I use the stock text message app) and not bring up the message. I downloaded Handcent which allowed me to see undelivered messages, and deleted it from there (it was a blank message, no recipient number, not message).
Thought that would fix it. But, the "Message Not Sent" notification keeps popping up everytime I open the stock text messaging app. If I open the app, open a conversation in the app, etc. If the notification isn't up, it will then show it everytime. I have to constantly go to Handcent and delete the undelivered message to clear the notification (until I next open the app, or the Messaging app gets a new message or it randomly gets the notification again during the day)
I was on the CM11 September Snapshot. I updated to the most recently nightly to see if that would help. But didn't help. It just started happening out of the blue. I thought about going to settings > Apps > Messaging > Clear Data. But I didn't want to lose all my text messages.
Any ideas?
