[Q] Messaging app broken

I just flashed CM6 for the first time on my new HTC Hero, and the messaging app is completely broken. I tried backing up all my texts, then clearing the data (Settings -> Applications -> All -> Messaging -> Clear data), but that not only didn't help, I also was't able to restore any of my texts from backup.
Every time I start the messaging app, I get the error:
Sorry!
The application Messaging (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Force close

Interestingly, if I use a voice command to send a text, it actually gets delivered. But I don't get any responses, and even if I did, I probably wouldn't be able to read them.
What can I do to fix it?
Thanks!

Have you tried doing a wipe of data, cache and dalvik cache and flashing cm6 again?

You probably won't be able to restore your texts from another rom into cm. I would wipe data/cache, and this time don't restore the texts.

thanks
Thank you, I've wiped and re-flashed. I'm out of the country right now, so I can't verify that the messaging app is actually working, but at least it doesn't crash when I open it.

Yup, works
Yes, it works great now. I even managed to backup all my texts and restore them with the SMS Backup+ app. I tried the "Backup to Gmail" app, which also backs up call logs, but it has no restore functionality, regrettably.

Cant update to Gingerbread anymore

I got a brand free Incredible S, received the update message a week ago and accidently declined it. Now when I check for updates I get "already up to date". My current android version is still shown as 2.2

Maybe try do a factory reset and then check for the update again.

Try clearing the data/cache from the settings app

Could you give me a little description how to do that?
I'm currently in school and can't check that for myself.

Okay, clearing the System App cache didnt work. Any other solutions? I don't want to do a factory reset, cba to install everything again..

If nothing works out, get 'MyBackup' from market ... it allows you to back up all data + APK s on ur phone, then do a factory reset and try to bring up the update ...
after which u can restore ur data / APK s ... ( u need to download 'MyBackup' again )
This is just a last resort workaround

Or I just cleared the cache wrong. I'm a completely Android Noob so someone could explain me how to do so?

No one?

I am pretty sure it is because of all the bugs the update had!
For example WiFi automatically disconnects when signal is less then -88dBm.
Font size is to big.
And more.

For everyone with the same Problem, the HTC support says that the notification comes back within 14 days.
My Settings app hadn't any cache data BTW.

Phone's Contacts(APP) problem

Hello, anyone else having the same problem as me and please help offer solutions.
My Contacts APPs keep FC most of the time when a call comes in. When this happens, usually I will not see the caller ID (only the number is displayed, not the names in my contact list). Sometimes the phone just hang and reboot and I believe the Contact is messing up the phone. Call logs will not show until the Contact apps run again after a few mins.
I saw post somewhere that this happens when contact list gets big and I follow the instruction to completely clear my contacts and restore them. But this does not help.
Phone is not having problem when I was in GB rom (2.3.5 and 2.3.6) and problem exist after upgrade to ICS. I tried 2 different ICS rom from different region (4.0.3), the same happens. Recently upgraded to 4.04. Problem remains.
I even downgrade back to GB. Clear cache, factory reset. Restore to ICS 4.0.4. I use Titanium to restore all apps and phone data. Problems still there.
I reflash the above again, this time only restore the apps and not phone data. This doesn't help.
Am at a lost what to do now? Everything runs fine except the Contact.

This is more of a workaround than a fix...
I've had this issue with contacts and then usually dialler gets problems. How are you adding your contacts, from a Google account? If so, try clearing the data and cache on both the contacts app and contacts storage app, then re sync your contacts, let me know if it helps.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I've tried your suggestions before but problem still exist. I'm using Samsung contact to do a backup/restore. I've tried before GO's contact and Superbackup. None solve the problem.
Currently, I just tried this method below to disable the Sync contact settings. Let's see if this will work.

There might be some permission error. If you are rooted then try extracting the contacts.apk, contacts.odex files from Stock ROM package and push it into system app folder. it might help. for a safer side you can also copy Phone.apk files along.

The ROM you chose will have instructions (developers page) as what you need to do . And yes you may need to do the wipes and doing that will not erase your messages or contacts only formating SD card will do that

you need to reflash again and sometimes it is not nescesarry to wipa all data, but it is always recomended. If you want a smooth and fast effect it is best to do clean install. You can always back up your msgs with titanium backup for excample. Contacts can be saved via google account (settings/backup & reset) or by the export option directly from menu in contacts.

or u can also download sms backup app from playstore. it will back up all your sms and call logs as well.
