[Q] delete messages

Hi Guys
Im just get a samsung galaxy s2 this week and am having a small problem.
Ive looked around for answers but cant find any. Ive just remembered how helpful this site was a when I had my HD2 so thought id ask here.
The problem im having is deleting messages. In the messaging app you can press and hold on a thread then a box comes up asking if you want to delete. I hit yes and all the messages go but it leaves behind the empt thread to that contact. Ive tried deleting through thr menu, hand sent and clearing the data and catch from manage apps menu but noth seems do get rif of the empty threads. Any one had this problem too?
no problems here i hit the delete thread and it deletes
Just done a factory reset and the threads have gone. sent some new messages to test it and right back to the begining again. New threads wont delete. Only the messages inside the threads delete and the contact is left in the message app. Please any help would be great. Im tempted to take it back to the shop and get a new one.
maybe some thing in settings i carnt even replicate ur problem
Well I took it back to the shop and they gave me a new phone which worked fine. It wasnt untill I used backup pro to re load my apps and data that I noticed it was happening again. Must be somthing to do with this. After another factory reset and not using backup pro everything seems to be working fine.

Missing Ringer Toggle Icon After Deblur

Hi. I recently deblurred my phone using Lokifish's deblur script. It worked great and I'm loving it. Only one problem. After an hour or two of use, I notice that the icon for the ringer toggle disappears (only the on icon, the silent icon remains). The toggle works fine, but I'd like to not have a missing icon.
The first time this happened I thought it was my fault, because I removed all the icon png files that were showing up in my library. However, after restoring a nandroid backup, the icon disappeared again over time. I even tried restoring a stock backup (nandroid backup of stock photon after 2.3.5 OTA update) and going through the whole process of running the script again. Same result.
During the first hour or two of use after deblur, I'm generally going back and installing all my apps again, adding widgets, getting settings back the way I like them, and so fourth. So, I think it has something to do with one or more of these tasks.
I'm just wondering if Lokifish can help me in getting the icon back. I'm posting here, because I'm too new to post a reply in the deblur thread since it's in the developer forum. Please let me know. Thanks.
You are never too new to reply or ask on the thread of the developed thing you have problem with. You should only avoid posting new threads on the developer section, unless you developed or found something and want to share it.
About your problem: Sorry, I'm not an expert yet, and I have no idea.

Thanks, I appreciate your reply. Unfortunately, when I try to post a reply to a thread in the developer forum, I get the following error:
p0wder2, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
The reason below that line that I think most applies to myself is the following:
New members (those with fewer than 10 posts) are not permitted to post to development-related forums.
This is why I have made the determination that I am "too new" to post. If this is inaccurate, please let me know, as I would love to be able to post a reply in the Deblur thread regarding the issue I experienced.
Thanks again.
I'm facing the same issue related to toggle icon. Finally I've to factory reset twice to get my icon back... lol

Sorry, my mistake. It's normal that you're unable to reply on the developer forus, just as you said. You can try to do what matrix says, factory reset twice. Then try to restore data using advanced restore within recovery mode.

Thanks, but I actually have a nandroid backup of the "deblurred" stock ROM. When restoring from that backup, the icon is there for a while and then it isn't. I also reverted to the stock 2.3.5 ROM, without the deblur, and when I went through the whole process again, the same thing happened. Icon is there for a while, then it isn't. I need a way of getting it back without any resets or restoring from backups. If not, I can live without it
Thanks again though. I appreciate the suggestions, they are just ones I've already tried.
I'm able to reply on the script's thread, so I posted for you.
It's right here
I'm sorry for writing "he or she", I just don't know you.
Anyway, I am a male.
Good day!
Cool!

Awesome, thank you so much!
You're most welcome!
Even if you reinstall it, you won't get your icon back... this is something related to application and memory problem... when I restored my backup, same issue again... didn't find any solution except installing lesser apps...
In my case some go application is causing a problem...

Interesting. Well, I figured it had to do with adding apps since that's the first thing I do after the deblur process is completed. However, I'm thinking there may be a way of forcing ADW to reload it, but I'm not nearly familiar enough with linux (or the ADW launcher for that matter) to figure that out on my own.
Oh well, as I said before, I can live without it if needs be. I'd rather have all the apps that are currently installed than the ringer icon. Thanks for confirming my suspicions, though.

Ask a mod to move your question to the correct section. Also, have a quick read of forum rules.... this is one of the friendlier mis-post comments you'll find

I'll keep it down a bit...
How is this development-related? Let alone original development...

Guys just help the mods and report immediately via the report tab .
That way they can take quick action .

Everyone find the time to play MOD but not to help. Amazing, but they are right. Theres not much you can do but to reset your device or flash it with a newer firmware. Go to recovery and factory reset your device. If your not rooted and are on stock recovery this will wipe your device clean.
Good luck and be carefull with where you post, people here will bite your head off for less.

Had this problem too and couldn't solve it except by resetting.
I did however read someone having the same issue found Handcent SMS to be the culprit in his case.
Try removing application by application that you've downloaded, you might get surprised.

Moved to the Q/A section, make sure you post questions in the right section in the future.
Dude got the same problem. Try out the new nighlty build of cm9. Fixed my problem with calls!
I had this problem shortly after I installed CallRecorder and fiddled with the settings. Luckily had a nandroid backup and the restore fixed her right up. Not saying it was CallRecorder though. Probably me fiddling too much.

[Q] Correct date, but wrong day in messages app

Hi,
In messages app the date is correct, but the day is wrong. Any one else with this problem? I have the correct day on the lock screen and everywhere else, but not in the messages app.
Rooted i9305 Pandoriam 4.5 Perseus kernel
me too
I think it's dependant on your phone company, I don't think there is a lot you can do to fix it...
Phone company? I haven't had any issues with this on any other phone.
P.S I think I've posted in the wrong forum. Can someone move this thread to the Q&A for I9305 D.S

Still got the problem with the stock Messages app, but installed Handscent SMS to "solve" the problem...

[Q] SMS's not threading

Hey all,
I have this issue with only one contact. When I message her, or when I receive one from her, it opens up in a new thread, just like the old Nokia phones used to do.
Has anyone else on 4.1.2 got this issue? What could I do to rectify it?
So far I have tried factory reset and deleting all duplicates of her name.
Thanks.
Since posting this, I have now tried completely deleting her from all contact lists, done a wipe, full cache wipe, new ROM flashed, etc........
And it is still happening! Only with her though.
It's got me effed.
Anyone?
The problem is still there. I have wiped every cache, done a factory reset and installed three different ROMs.
It started with the first 4.1.2 stock rom, then I moved onto omega 43.3, then onto another omega based ROM before settling back onto 43.3.
It happens in go sms and the stock sms app.
Anyone have any clues?

is she messaging directly from her number or any online sms apps?
Only from her number. No app being used.
It is also very inconsistent. For example, she just messaged me and it came through in her thread, but about an hour ago she messaged me and it came through in a new thread.
It also happens when I send her a message. It will start a new thread, but not every time.

backup your messages. try clearing cache and data(of messaging app only), force stop the messaging app in settings>app manager and restart. a hope!
I am trying that now. Ill get her to message me a number of times and see what happens.
Failing that, what else should I try?
Nope. Didn't work
Ill delete her as a contact again and try re adding her under a different name. No idea what else to do.
Deleted
you have more than one number of her under the same name and she is texting you from two numbers may be?
