Text message were being read out fine: "You have a text message from contact...here is the message....blah blah blah".
Coincidentally with the ND7 OTA, the reading of the body of the text message (in bold above) stopped (the reading of the contact name still works). All the text to speech settings are still set as before as far as I can see.
Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions?

Have you tried clearing data and cache for related apps?

Yes, I even did a factory reset. No difference. I have since installed a 3rd party app but it's not quite the same, e.g., can't turn it on/off with "hands-free" mode.

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..
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:
Hi Guru's,
I'm getting frequent Text Msg failure notices, a pop-up saying Text Messenger has stopped, with an "OK" button that must be clicked or the screen stays locked on that pop-up. It was only happening in group texts with rapid texting between multiple people at one time, but now it's happening randomly, even when texting with individuals.
In addition to this error, there are some cases when pictures or attachments will show they're loading (downloading with the spiraling circle), yet the download never comes in and the spiral never stops spinning. I end up deleting that text to make it go away. It never attempts to reload.
In an effort to help with diagnosis, I've closed all apps when texting and I still get these errors. The only two apps open when I'm texting is the stock texting app that came with the phone - with Swift-Key ... and as stated, I'm on Verizon with a phone bought at the Verizon store.
I've done everything I know to do, except a Factory Reset.
Anyone have any helpful answers/solutions?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Gregory
Are you using the Verizon messanger? What is the specifics on that?
Not using Verizon's text app.
Mostly because Verizon keeps secondary copies even after I delete them.
Since I wrote that and having surfed every thread on similar topics, I decided the best course of action was to back up and do a Factory Reset.
It worked, but I've got issues with notification settings that I'm working through.
First-World problems. ;- )
Whenever I receive a call or text, the Caller ID app freezes. Most recently I received a call, Caller ID froze, and the whole phone ended up freezing. Anyone know of a fix for this? I don't use the Caller ID app, and I can't even disable it. Kinda stuck here.
Anyone?
Mine doesn't work either. Unable to authenticate with servers....

How do I uninstall the Caller ID app?
I may have fixed this...
I went into Settings > Apps > Caller ID > Storage....and cleared data and cache, and then tried calling myself. No "Caller ID has crashed" message came up, and I was actually able to answer or reject the call. Seems like Sprint's bloatware is buggy and frankly, totally useless.

Yeah, Sprint is horrible. Between the horrid coverage, lack of bandwidth and garbage bloatware that doesn't work...
Hi All - I'm really hoping to get some ideas from the forum on this issue as it's been plaguing me for a while and I can't figure it out.
I have a Rooted Samsung S8+ on Nougat 7.0 which root was achieved flashing Partcyborg ROM through Odin. It's commonly used method for those that don't have S8+, the bootloader is locked though.
That being said my issue isn't with the rom / root method, it's with Google Dialer and the Stock Samsung Contacts / Phone application. For some reason I think the Call History backup is corrupt or something like that because no matter if it's an incoming or an outgoing call, my call history and recents menu in either application is blank. For example, if someone called me right now and I didn't answer, I'd see the call in the history as the only call but by the end of the day, or after a restart of the phone... My phone will show no recent calls and provide no record of call history for that call.
Even more strange, I do show a record of calls but they are 14-15 records of calls at random dates, I want to say the most recent is from April. No matter what, they always stay. DOesn't matter if data is cleared, cache is cleared, dalvik-cache wiped, preferences reset, app defaults reset, install/reinstall, install diff versions, change permissions, this happens.
I used SQLlite Browser to go into the database and the DB does show the records I talked about earlier, the 14-15 calls. I've even tried deleting the database in hopes that maybe it'd reset itself. Nope.
This behavior is persistent across device resets, it also occurs when I completely remove Google Dialer Framework and Google Dialer altogether. Im at a loss and trying not to get back to stock.
Any ideas as to where to dig further?
