Hey Guys,
Hopefully this is in the right place, if not my apologies. But i have been experiencing some strange issues with SMS on my S3 recently and i can't put my finger on where the issue is coming from.
I'm getting a number of duplicate contacts in the conversation list, for some reason my conversations will randomly get split into their own threads. It's start to get incredibly frustrating to sort through. The screenshot shows the problem.
I had this on a much small scale a while back and managed to fix it for a while by doing a backup of my SMSs and then when i looked at the backups files i noticed that the address was formatted different between conversations. So i edited the file and fixed all the addresses manually, deleted all my SMSs and imported the backup and the problem was fixed.
But now it's happening again and attempting to do the same process again, all of the addresses are exactly the same so my previous method won't fix it this time.
Anyone got any ideas why this might be happening or know of a way to fix it? It happens in any SMS app (including stock google and the samsung one as well as any third party apps) it continues to happen after a complete wipe of my phone and starting fresh.

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)/
Hi,
I'm experiencing a strange behaviour in the last couple of weeks. My accounts and some of my settings (e.g. which input method I use) get lost under random circumstances.
Actually, I don't know how and where to investigate for the cause. It doesn't happen immediately after a (re)boot, it can happen now, it can happen in two weeks, during I am playing something or I am reading, it's absolutely random to me. Today I'm wondering why my events in CalenGoo aren't displayed, and as I'm heading over to the settings, I found all my accounts gone. No Google, no CalDav/CardDav, no Whatsapp. If I start to enter something somewhere, I see that I use the standard input method and not TouchPal as I am used to. Other settings like WiFi oder Sound profiles remain untouched.
I'm on a Zopo ZP950, running 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, it's rooted and I have much apps installed. I don't know where to begin my investigation. Is there some log file where I could look at? Does someone have similar problems?
It's very annoying to me, because I think this "failures" seem to happen more often in the last few days. I use Titanium Backups to restore the accounts then, but my contacts and events need to be resynced via CalDAV/CardDAV against my ownCloud Server.
Thanks for any hints in advance.
I recently got an SGS5, and I noticed something that has started to annoy me. Judging on what I can read online and from googling I am not the only one annoyed by it. But so far no one has actually provided a viable and working solution as far as I see it.
Problem:
I have several contacts with multiple phone numbers under them, and when I get texts from the various number it creates one new thread/conversation pr number they text me from and its getting to the point where it is getting annoying. Isn't there some way to fix or correct this?. ie where the phone defaults to respond to the last number it got a text from, from that contact, or that it simply defaults to sending a text out on the default selected number or asks?.
I am not looking for something or a solution that will merge all my threads back in time, but for something that works going forward so that all threads created from today and onwards gets merged.
I know Google Hangout apparently can do this, but I don't want to use Google Hangout as my default messaging app, and I am presently using HandCent in case there is a setting inside Handcent that I just need to set.
But I hope someone might have a working solution to my problem/issue & thanks in advance.
Hi guys, I am facing a weird issue with my Sony Z5: a friend got married and changed names, I updated her entry under Contacts and so far so good. Easy job. Now here is the weird thing: Text messages (SMS) under "Messages" are still showing her with her old name. I even tried completely deleting all texts and the contact entry under Contacts and recreating her entry from scratch but as soon as I texted her to test if it worked, her OLD name showed up under Messaging. Ironically when searching for her old name under Contacts, nothing comes up, and yet, Messaging keeps the association of the number and old contact name.
What is going on here? Kinda annoying and not sure if there is an rational explanation why this would happen.
Any feedback or ideas? Should some sort of cache be cleared?
This is for a Z5C with Marshmallow recently upgraded. Stock Firmware. Not rooted.
Thanks in advance,
OldSkewler
Any feedback? Anyone else facing this?
Okay this sounds dodgy… but ever since I’ve been using P9000, contacts that have been in my account (some even for years) disappear! I notice this when someone I know calls but his name is not shown, or when I browse between older messages in SMS app or WhatsApp, I notice the contact details have disappeared! As you can understand this is very annoying … recently I had a hard time to find back the number for my car mechanic, as his contact details were erased.
In attempt to fix this. I’ve installed the Google Contacts app, and disabled the Elephone Contacts app. This did not fix it.
I was hoping that the update to Android Nougat would maybe fix this. It did not! After flashing Nougat first things I noticed was that some essential contact details had disappeared!
I have not had this issue on any device before. It started occurring ever since I start using the P9000. So the question is…. Has anybody else noticed this issue? Why is this happening? Is Elephone doing naughty things in the background with my contacts??? Is there anything to do about?
