[ISSUE] MMS Creates New Thread For Same Contact! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a message thread between my fiance and I. But, for some reason, when i send her an MMS, it will create a new thread. So, then i will have 2 message threads between the same contact. Even when I am in the actual thread itself and try to add a photo that way, as soon as i click send, it appears as if the mms will go inside the same thread i'm already in, but then it disappears and when i go back to my conversations page, it shows as a new thread. Then all further sms' received will go inside the new thread the MMS created.
I already tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227352&page=2
but all that did was merge the threads together, but, then again, i send an MMS and it creates a new thread.
i did notice, however, when i use SMS Backup and Restore and i use the "Backup selected threads" feature, it will show the phone number in different formats. EX: +1xxxxxxxxxx and +1 xxx-xxx-xxxx
I know that has something to do with it because every time i tried the method in the link above, The new MMS that created a new thread, will show up in the .xml file under a different number format than the other SMS'.
I don't understand why my phone doesn't recognize the number formats as the same contact .
PLEASE HELP!
Here is a screenshot of what i mean by 'Multiple Threads for the Same Contact'

Are your contacts properly synced to google? This happened to me before. But once I synced my contacts to google they're now properly merged. Weird issue though.

[Q] Some email attachments not visible after ICS update

Been searching for this all morning with no luck.
Got given the bosses Galaxy S2 last week, so did a factory reset then an OTA update to 4.0.3 then started playing and setting it up for work use. I am using the inbuilt email program for my work POP3 account and the gmail program for the gmail account, viewing both through the combined email viewer - all working fine.
However, when I receive after hours voice mail messages from work, which send as a .wav file, the attachments wont show up, ie when viewing the email there is no attachments tab. If I try to forward the message, sure enough the attachment is there and visible and openable. All other attments seem to be showing OK (as in documents, PDF's, etc) just not the .wav files.
Is there a security setting or something somewhere that needs changing?
Well General is not the place where you stick questions. Moved to Q&A.
Sorry about that, thanks for relocating for me.
Further to the mystery, I mentioned if I try to forward the email I can now see the attachment in my outgoing message, well I decided to send the forward and the message that comes in now has the attachment visible...
This is what I mean - this is an incoming message where the attachment is not showing and no way of finding it -

}
Whereas this one that was received same as above, but then simply forwarded back to myself - now the attachment is visible so it was obviously always there
Bump!! Anyone?
I am getting the voice mails redirected to my gmail account today to see if it makes any difference.

Having trouble linking facebook contact pics...

I had no issue with this with my original Evo 4G. Once I had contact's linked to their Facebook accounts, their FB image would appear as their contact image. The only exception to this would be if they had a Google image.
I'm having trouble getting the same thing to work on the new 4G LTE. The contacts are definitely linked. However their FB image doesn't appear. Just the default "anonymous grey dude" image.
If you are having the same issue as above(which I had) try these:
1. HaxSync
or
2. FaceBook Contact Sync
This worked for me!!! Finally all my contacts have pictures!!!! Found this fix while googling...not my work. Just wanted to share!
EDIT: Nevermind...

Do a Google search for 'Photo Unlocker APK' and you might be able to find the app that will solve your problem.
I'm using it and it works great:

There was a thread here on this forum that had a working link, but unfortunately, that link is now dead for whatever reason.

I use this to. It unlocks the photos in other apps on your phone like messenger and others but it still wouldn't work for me in the people app. Thats why I posted what i found.
In your search did you ever find an app that syncs your Facebook calendar with your Google calendar? Sense does this just fine, but if I switch to a non-Sense ROM someday I'd still like that feature.
My limited searching kept pulling up instructions on "syncing" the two by exporting the FB calendar and importing it into Google's, which obviously isn't the same as syncing the two.

[APP]Wear Messenger works with Minuum Keyboard!

****Not my app or nor I have not been paid by this dev lol***
Now you can reply (not create) from your watch! You do not need an input device (ie minuum) to use it, but the reason for this thread is that you CAN use it with minuum to reply to texts. :good:

you must install from ADB not playstore
Btw, you can also create new messages with your Watch.
You have to install the Wear Mini Launcher and then start wear messenger and you're able to write new messages. The only problem is that you have to know the number of the contact you want to write^^
Another "problem" is that you only can reply and write SMS. You have to install the messenger bridge of the same dev to get the ability to answer to your Whatsapp messages. It will convert the whatsapp message into a sms with a prefix and convert it back to be sent via whatsapp.
Actually the dev works on the support of the latest whatsapp version. The Update will be live today or tomorrow he told me.
Does anyone know how to cancel a message once started? I couldn't do it and the only way out of the app was to send it (which I didn't want to do).

Android Messages App Showing Blank Conversation Threads

Hello everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+ running Android 7.0, Samsung Experience version 8.1. I recently cleared the cache on the stock Android Messages texting app because I wasn't able to receive MMS messages, and now it's showing flashing, blank threads (looks like conversations are trying to sync, but aren't). I've attached a pic to better show the issue.
I searched the site and found someone else who had the same issue, but there wasn't an answer posted in that thread. I contacted the app developer and haven't received a response back. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Non existing photo, synchronization issue Google Photos

I have a strange problem with Google Photos. I am user of Xiaomi Mi Note 10 with MIUI12 and Android 10. Whole software is up to date.
On 27.10 i tried to take a photo but my camera app crashed. In a result picture have been created which looked deformed. I deleted it using my stock Gallery app. From there and from my file manager everything looks normal. Unfortunately when i open GP i can see "black photo" with corresponding date and time to this crash.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Moreover the path related to picture simply do not exist and picture have 0B. I don't have external sd card and path to my dcim folder is with 0 inside it not 999.
The issue is I am not able to delete this picture in any know to me method. Simply clicking on trash icon GP ask for permistion to sdcard (which do not exist). Anyway i gave it and nothing happened. Button move to archive also don't work, it simply says it cannot be done.
What really annoys me is fact that it constaly trying to synchronize it to my accout.
What i did so far:
-stop the app
-remove all it's data
-reinstall
After reinstalling i noticed one thing until i won't resume synchronization the file do not exist but shorty after resuming it pop up again...
I can also add that i tried to find it in on my phone without succes and it is not visible on others synchronized devices.
Any advices how to get rid of it?
