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.
Anyone know how to clear the voicemail notification on my notification bar? I have tried every possible thing to get rid of it and it does not to go away. I have checked in the voicemail and they I have no new messages or saved messages.
Thanks,

i read that someone had same problem and someone else said leave yourself a voicemail, listen to the whole message and that should clear it

Yeah that's a good idea.
Also I had similar problems with my VM...Honestly I hate checking my VMs because of the tedious procedure that T-Mobile Voicemail hotline forces you to do. Before my Vibrant went Vibroke I switched to Google Voice. It's badass. In most cases it transcribes your Voicemails to text and let's you listen/delete all of your messages without being forced to listening to a stupid robot lady. Definitely worth trying out.
Thanks I tried calling myself several times left a vm then deleted them and still didn't work. I checked all settings in menu/settings/call hoping to find a clear option and nada, nothing, even looked through Root Explorer but didn't know what half the things were I was looking at.
Maybe I can have T-Mob reset msgs, not sure.
Joy Visial Voicemail is great for checking your VM, don't need toi call in at all
Yes, if all that you tried before didn't work you should call up TMO
Visual Voicemail doesn't work for me because I have an older unlimited plan that was grandfatherered into my current contract. I had it before though, and I still prefer Voice over that.
I love this community, I had the same issue and one search of xda and problem solved.
Thanks guys

yeah, this just worked for me. 'preciate it!
Hello all, first off Im really happy with my white s3 apart from this annoying 1 next to my messages. I know it means I have 1 unread message but I dont.
Even if I delete all my messages its still there. When I restart phone it goes untill I get new message then it stays again. No voicemail no emails nothink! when I go in to task manager and clear memory the 1 goes untill a message comes through then it stays even tho the message has been read. Does anyone have this annoying issue/problem? I have looked on the fourm/threads but cant see anythink regarding this. Any help would be appreciated.
Try wipe data/cache on touchwiz and messaging application
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
ok thanks for the rapid response, how do I wipe cashe from touchwiz?
Your not on your own matey i posted the same thing in the "known faults thread" so far no one has found a fix
hello I went in to app manager, then messaging and clear cache is unhighlighted but I did clear data but with no avail
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683945&highlight=known+faults&page=4
Anyone else having this problem? In my Recent Calls list there are only 4 out of 75 that shows my contact's name & image. The rest just say (unknown) and have the number listed. I looked at these 4 contacts to see what makes them different and I see no obvious differences that would make them somehow poll differently. I've had this issue since I got this phone and am finally fed up with it.
Another problem I'm having that may or may not be related is that when I type on the number pad to search for contacts via number or name... it doesn't work. When I start typing characters of someone's name the results just dwindle down w/o rhyme or reason. For instance, if I type my wife's name... nothing. If I type Chis I end up with three contacts with the name of Chris. That's nice but I have 8 contacts with the name of Chris. When I type any other name there is no results. Coincidentally if I type one of the 4 contacts from the problem above they will show up.
It appears as though there is some sort of disconnect between HTC's phone stuffs and my actual contacts and what not. Is there a cache I can clear or something to get this to work? Some sort of setting to get this to function properly?
Thanks for the help.
what rom and such? tried clearing cache or dalvik? are your contacts linked to google or facebook?

Stock ROM, rooted and unlocked bootloader. Contacts are linked to Google, not Facebook. As for cache & davlik... I have had this phone for a while now and this problem has existed since day 1. I have cleared them both for other issues and the problem remains so I don't think that is going to solve it as it hasn't yet. I appreciate the tip though.

Have you tried unlinking your google account and relinking it? Are you on the latest update from sprint (2.13 RUU)? have you fixed permissions?
This happened in 1.22 as well, its a problem with their contact linking. As soon as I linked Google plus and Facebook sense merged the info and disregarded the Google contact info, I had to reset and the numbers came back with out the actual info unless I opened their contact info. When I re linked Google plus and Facebook they came back

Yeah, I also had to do that for another problem so I know it's been done in the past yet this problem remains. I think most of the 'usual' stuff has been tried prior to starting this thread.

I'm on 1.13 still. I don't have Google+ or Facebook linked though as I didn't want to deal with all that mess and the people I actually wanted in my contacts I enter manually into my Google contacts. I don't think this is the cause of my issues.
It sounds like the exact same issue except you haven't linked any info. Maybe it'll be addressed whenever the next update comes. I didn't have this problem until after the second update

Any thoughts on how to resolve this?
Nope I jumped ship to cm10, I'm thinking about flashing back to see if anything else I might have done fixed it or if it was just because I re linked the contact info

I may jump to CM10 once it's final as there's still a few minor bugs that I don't want to live with. In the meantime I just want to get this stupid call history bug fixed. Is there something specific I can clear the cache of or detach and reattach that might resolve this? I did plenty of Google searches and I see some people talking about factory resets but then half of those say that doesn't even work. The last thing I want to do is a factory reset and that is if it was even a know fix for this issue.
It's a bug in sense as far as I could tell, perhaps installing a different dialer from the market that integrates history and contacts will help
Something else I noticed today since I uninstalled GoSMS and went back to the stock SMS app... my contacts aren't showing up in my conversation list or the main screen. Only a couple of them show a picture and name and the rest are all the phone number only. This is especially annoying when I want to find someone in my conversation list to send a text message to because I have no idea who is who. This bug is driving me nuts.
Well, today I found a work around... sorta. If you go into each contact and then set default action under individual settings for each contact (yes... each one) so that the default method is a text message (calling may work too... haven't checked). Once I did this my contacts had images and names in the call log and the messages. I did notice that while I was doing this the first two I did had to be done again for some reason so I don't really know what is going on, what this fixes or ho long it may or may not last but if anyone else finds this... here's a possible fix.
Nope... still doesn't work. I thought I found this band-aid fix to make it work but after a few days it went back to not being linked. No contacts photos and no names. Just a bunch of phone numbers in my SMS list and my call log. This is very frustrating. Is there a cache I can clear or something other than the phone's main cache and dalvik? Is there an app in my app list or two that I can clear the cache of to get this to reload properly? I don't want to go back to GoSMS (too much spam and too much fluff) and it doesn't fix my call log anyway.
You could try clearing data from contacts storage in app settings or the 3 people apks then resync and see if that helps
Did you fix permission? This happens to me after I do it

I'll try that first part but I'm not sure what you said in that second part.

Why would I need to fix permissions if I'm on the stock ROM? I thought that was only something you needed to do if you changed ROMs, no?
Not necessarily, if you do something as simple as restore a backup with titanium you might have to fix permissions, if you format internal and restore apps, you might have to fix permissions. If you change something in the Rom like remove bloat, it might affect other apps and you might have to fix permissions.
There's contact storage, then you have people, its broken down into 3 seperate pieces. Each one is responsible for different features like contact linking and contact sync from other accounts

I've rooted an unlocked... that's about it. If this could be my problem then I need to know how to fix it. Also, I get an error message whenever I open Titanium Backup saying that my device ID has changed and it asks if I wanted to change it back. I keep putting that off because I had hacked DropBox to get like 77gb of storage using the LTE Evo and then the SGS3 hack. After an update it lost the SGS3 storage space so I was going to look into this again and how my device ID applied before I did anything. I'm to the point now where I don't even care about the DropBox thing anymore and should probably figure out how to proceed with this whole device ID thing that TiBackup keeps warning about. Not sure if that could have any relation to this problem but seems like it could so that's why I just mentioned it.

So there are 3 different APKs for this? So I need to find each one in my installed list and clear data/cache? Any idea what they're called if that's the case so I clear the right ones?
All 3 are named people, the device id problem sounds like build.prop but Im not sure because I'm not entirely sure what you did
I got a message a while back in Google Now asking me "Do you care about this place?" and at that time I said NO. Google Now then indicates that it will no longer notify me about this place and that is done. However has anyone figured out how to undo this? What if I change my mind and now I do want to know about travel time to this place? I searched everywhere but couldn't find anything. I am thinking that clearing my location history might be the only solution, but I don't want to loose all this data.
Anyone have any ideas?

I know this is somewhat old but I can't find an answer to this anywhere. I've seen a few other places where people are asking the same thing. Does anyone know if this can be manually fixed, or if it maybe resets when you start visiting that place more often?
