Text messaging problem - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, so today I decided to backup my texts and once I did that I started to delete messages from my phone (as I normally do without any problems). I know it can take literally forever for just one convo to delete especially if you have over TONS of messages, so i waited and waited for the 'deleting messages' box to disappear.
I left my phone doing it's thing whilst ocassiaonlly using the phone at the same time, obviously I didn't do anything in texts, but when I went back on messaging I noticed it was gone, so I tapped on messaging again only to find the 'opening conversation' to appear and its been stuck like that for ages, therefore I cannot access any of my texts yet..
Any advice on what to do? Is it really still opening conversations? (it's been about 15mins probably!) and I have no idea if it deleted one of my convo's fully.. Is it safe to turn the phone off & then back on perhaps? I don't want to risk losing anything...
Hope it all makes sense. Thanks!
EDIT: nevermind sorry, it literally just stopped with the opening conversation message and back up. My convo I tried to delete is still there though, so will try again and not touch anything this time! Sorry, please remove this thread if you wish!

Appreciate the response, but I thought I would ask to see if other people had the same experience and therefore can share the right way forward?

Oh my days, it's now probably been about 2 hours since I started deleting and its STILL doing it - is it supposed to take THIS long?

I had my phone showing messages from another conversation/recipient a few days ago. In this case, all alerts from my train operator about delays were showing as being sent from my wife.
Killing the task and reloading messaging seemed to fix it, but it now has me worried that such problems might one day see me getting corruption errors, although I don't really have any texts I couldn't afford to lose.

Really odd G1 messaging problem. Help?

Hello all. I made this topic because my one friend and I have had a strange messaging problem the last couple of days.
Now, we both have rooted G1's and flashed Micro Hero for the Hard SPL on our phones. We've been using this ROM for about a month without any flaws for the whole time, but now our messaging keeps acting up. What keeps happening is when we go into our messaging app, the messages we send all get sent to the bottom, and the messages received from others all get sent to the top. That, and all the time stamps don't usually have times but just say "Yesterday". The fix I used that worked was re-flashing the ROM, but for all of those who flash ROMs a lot, you probably know how much of a pain it is to set up your phone again after re-flashing. There has to be some other alternative to this. And yes, I've tried using different messaging up but it did the same thing.
So has anyone else had this problem, or it it possibly T-Mobile and not us? Or could it possibly be that we have too many messages at once? I only had about 140 messages when this started happening, and than about 20 the second time it happened, so I really doubt it's that. I just don't see why it would start happening now all of a sudden and not right away.
It sounds like a problem on T-Mobile's and time-stamping the messages causing things to go to weird locations because they are trying to sort the messages by time. But if you can fix it by reflashing, then would download Backup for Root Users and use that everytime you need to re-flash. Good luck.

Thanks, and I'll try that as I'm downloading Backup for Root Users now. I just hope I don't I find a fix besides re-flashing though because I'm having to re-flash once a day at this point. It's really annoying.

android.process.acore is giving me lots of crap. please help!!

Hi, I just joined this community
I am here cause my phone has pretty much become useless,
I did a hard reset on my phone ( more like a 100 of them ) & still no luck...my touch screen is not working, I cant make or receive any calls, i can't access my contacts, nor can I send new texts unless people text me first.
If i try to access any of it it tells me that android.process.acore has to force close.
I do not believe its any app as I've done a hard reset on my phone & I am still having the same problem.
It is so frustrating cause I baby the phone & this would happen to me.
I'd appreciate it if anyone could help.
I was thinking maybe reverting back to an old update like RC29 could maybe help?

Well then what are you waiting for?
If your using the stock 1.6 there have been some known bugs, so you could try to root or go to tmo and ask for a replacement.
i think i will have to call tomorrow...it kinda sucks you know?
sometimes it works for like 10 minutes and then it goes back to not working at all. very frustrating.

Have you installed an alternative Home launcher? That sometimes causes issues. Another one is a messed up contact. If you wipe the phone completely does it boot normally to the "log into Google" stage?

my xperia x1 doesnt receive text messages on time

My friends complain that I wait too long before replying to text messages. Thing is, there seem to be some kind of delay. The problem only occurs with my xperia (I tried using another phone for a while) so im kinda sure the phone is the problem.
Any idea how to fix this? because its getting very annoying and no need to say that it sucks to get important m'essages a few hours late.
It could be that screen wakeup on new message has been disabled look here for a fix

How about giving a bit more detail in what's going on? It could be you've got too many messages stored and you need to delete them.

Problem receiving MMS (yes, I have data plan)

For a while now, I have been getting the notifications that I have an MMS message received. But when I go to retrieve it (through the notification dropdown) it just takes me to my messaging and it shows nothing new. Doesn't even show me who the message was from so I can maybe let them know I didn't get it.
Anyone else had this problem before or know how to fix it?
No one has approached me saying "hey, did u get my pic message" so it probably was just joke stuff that dint really matter, but it's still annoying not knowing what was sent. It's like the message just disappeared or something.
I remember it working just fine before rooting my phone 2 months ago.
I am currently running SuperD 1.93 but it has been happening since I first rooted, in which my first rom was CM 4.12.xxx
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Well, isn't a fix, but have you sat down with a friend and got them to text you to make sure? You might just be getting the random notification, but no actual text. I know if this was happening to me I would rather get a random notification rather than actually missing out on a text. Also, it would be nice to know which way to address this issue.

I had a friend text me "im about to send u a picture" and got the notification, but the pic never appeared so I do not believe it is a false notice. It doesnt happen often either.

I've never tried that, but I will now. But I have wiped and reflashed my roms plenty of times, wouldn't that clear all the data anyway?
Last time I wiped and reflashed was less than a week ago...

I would guess it would, who knows, I had a ghost Gmail for weeks...
Ok so clearing the message data did not help. I sat next to a friend trying to send me a pic and it would show "Unknown: MMS Received"....I'm so lost as to what to do
bumping this as I've tried lots of things, and get this error myself too. I can at least send picture messages again, but I still can't receive.
Have you called t-mobile? I had the same problem and I tried everything. Decided to give them a call just as a last option and it was on there end.
And since you just rooted and it's happened only since you rooted I would go over everything you did.

Need Sprint tech/rep help!

I have been having issues with my Hero lately, and going through the Tech Support/Store/Retention phone transfers has made me pretty pissed off. (I was hung up on by 2 supervisors, and I was not even talking to him angrily) I hope that one of you guys who I helped out at one point or another with anything could help me out with my phone issues and figure out where to go from here with my phone/account.
If you are a rep/tech from Sprint, I would really appreciate a reply or pm. Thanks in advance guys

I don't know when you worked for Sprint but we have a "release" button to drop calls. If we hit it, we get pulled up on a report and the call is listened to see why the release button was hit I WORK for sprint
Ok guys, nevermind. I am selling my Hero.

I'd be afraid to buy your phone if you've got such problems that you're willing to dump it because of them.
Inquiring minds want to know!
Well, it was more of me trying to get an EVO using the known problems of the Hero lol. My phone is great. my bad

Hey, I've got problems if any Sprint Techie would please listen to me!!! I've asked for help from a couple of developers and all I get is ignored and told, "Sorry dude."
Two weeks ago, I themed using MM instead of the usual signed zips. Since then, my phone completely freezes/black screen every single time I get an incoming call, requiring me to pull the battery and hard reboot. No buttons work/black frozen screen until I fully reboot. Everything else works perfectly except for incoming calls. I can't have this!
I pulled a logcat (found nothing), RUU'd, re-rooted, reflashed the ROM (Flipz 2.1d), wiped the SD, etc. Still happens and am now so ticked I'm about to auction this POS and get me the EVO too! I took it to a Corporate Sprint Store 25 miles away and after I had to show the morons where the 'on' button was on the Hero (yeah, seriously, I did), they told me I'd be without a phone til after 7/5 while they work on it, because of the holiday (I can't, I use my phone for work!!!).
All I themed was a revised rosie killing off the top-bar clock & battery signal meter, and another hiding the text under homepage apps.
WTH??? Could someone please, please help?

I don't think theming with metamorph could potentially harm your phone in a way that an RUU couldn't correct. Have you used an overclocked kernel or done anything that could potentially break your phone's hardware? If it happens when you receive an incoming call, I'd tend to think there's something going on with the cellular radio. Do you have any issues with data connection or receiving SMS? Any other issues at all?
Nope, absolutely no other issues at all. Data, SMS, all fine.

Does it happen EVERY time you get a call or with less frequency? Are you using a non-standard PRL? I suppose there could be 100000 different things making your phone do that, but I just don't see MM doing it.
Then again I've been wrong before.
No, when I have it plugged in on USB or straight charger, I'll occassionally get the incoming call. Not always, but occassionally. Once today it rang through, then I got 8 lock ups, all on incoming.
But when the phone is off the charger, I won't get the call at all. It completely locks & goes black even before I know there's an incoming call. I only find out when I check the phone or hear the BT shut off in my ear. Then I'm forced to pull the charge & reboot, only finding out 5-10 min later that I missed a call and have a VM message.
I had to call it myself to find out that it's locking down on all incoming calls, because at first I just thought it was doing random lock ups. But, no, it's only on incoming calls.
I've had some weirdness with incoming calls recently, but that's due to forcing my clock speeds way low when the screen is off with overclock widget.
If you successfully RUU your phone and you still can't receive calls, my money is that it's busted.
Anyone else have any ideas?
