[Q] SMS Crashes Phone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All of sudden I've been having issues with SMS crashing messaging apps. I regularly use Hangouts, though I tried using Google Messenger as well to fix this issue. It seems that whenever I open a conversation that involves SMS, the app will say that it has stopped. However, Hangout conversations and MMS(group conversations) don't crash the app. Any ideas on how I can fix this issue without wiping the messages?
I do have root and a custom recovery available if a fix would involve it. This is on a 1stG Moto X on 4.4.4

It sounds like something corrupted your sms data base. My advise would be to use an app to back them up then wipe the data of sms app to clear it out and test. Them restore and test again. This happens when people restore sms logs.

[Q] Messaging App Crashing

HTC Thunderbolt - I am having problems where the messaging app keeps crashing when I have a large number of SMS messages in there. I have about 5000 SMS messages restored from my old phone, but when loaded the stock messaging app will load very slowly. Eventually (after opening the app once or twice), it will force close every time that I open the app. Sometimes it will open, but it won't display any of my messages, and then just force close.
This happens with both the stock messaging app and something like Handcent, so it leads me to believe that it is something with the Messaging store. I get no problems if I start with no messages, and have only like 100 in there.
I've restarted and did a factory reset. Same problems. Anyone else having the problem with a large number of SMS messages?

[Q] SMS force close on MIUI 1.7.8

I'm having a problem where the SMS app FCs whenever i get a text. I've tried using other SMS apps such as Go, but they still aren't coming in. Is there a way to reinstall the SMS part without just reflashing and starting over? Everything else seems to be working well so i don't want to rock the boat, but texting is the main use for my phone :-/

gTalk notifications - no Talk app installed - Weird

Hi
I am having a very weird problem.
I am using IMO for Instant Messaging and so i removed the TALK app from my Nexus one (running Oxygen Rom) using Titanium backup.
Recently there was an update in TALK app and i wanted to try it (Hangouts) so i installed it from the playstore. It was very slow on my mobile so i removed it again.
Now i am getting Talk notifications (with the old TALK icon) in the notification bar. along with the IMO notifications. When i click on the Talk notifications it does not open any app. and the messages that are notified by TALK are missing in the IMO app so its very frustrating.
So i thought it must be the HANGOUTS app and re installed it from the Play Store. Now i get Hangout notification, Talk notification and IMO notification.
Its very annoying. I removed the Hangouts app from the Application Manager and i still getting the TALK notifications.
Please help me get this Talk Ghost out of my mobile.

That is quite bizarre you could try reinstalling the Hangouts app then wiping its cache and data, then uninstalling it and finally rebooting it. Another suggestion would be provided you don't have Talk/Hangouts app installed as a system app is to boot into recovery and perform a factory reset as well as wiping the data and cache partitions. Also re-flashing your current ROM should fix the problem.

[Q] Text and Email Alternative Apps

I have tried using K-9 Email app and TextSecure and hello sms. All of the three seems to stop running after a while in the background. So if I install the any of the 3 and then set it up and it works fine. But then I switch to another app or do something else or not use the phone for a while they stop working. I have tested this and it seems like android os is terminating the process after a while (none of the apps remain in the running apps list on system settings). So is it possible to get these apps to work? By work I mean get notifications if I receive a text or a new email. Also the builtin gmail app and Hangouts and Stock Messaging apps work perfectly fine, no issues.
can you check this post, it worked for me

Unable to send SMS using default messaging app

As the title says, I'm unable to send any text messages using the default messaging app on moto E. I have my phone rooted. Messaging is a system application. I'm able to recieve messages though. If I change the default messaging app to some other app like hangouts, everything works. I have tried making a backup of the messaging app, uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing works. Also cleared data. When I send a message, it's stuck at "sending...". Check screenshot.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

I would you try switching the default app to hangouts or another messaging app then switch the default back to the stock messaging app and see if that helps.
