I have recently purchased a GT0I9505 and have rooted it, but have not installed any custom ROMs. I am using GO SMS Pro and when I get a new message I get the notification, but when I open the app and try to open the message, the whole thread is blank, including old messages (I have transferred my old messages across from my S2 using Titanium Backup).
I have tried deleting the app data and cache from the Application menu in 'settings', but this does nothing, and doesn't even delete my message threads. I have even uninstalled GO SMS Pro and installed another app, but this doesn't even work properly, so I don't think it's a GO problem. An interesting note is that when I uninstall GO SMS Pro and reinstall it using the Play Store, my messages all come back up (in list view only).
If I receive a text I get the popup, so I can read the message, but then when I open it up in the app, the whole thread is just blank. Can someone help, or even tell me where I can find the stored SMS messages on my phone so I can delete the file. I have tried everything but cannot delete a single text message!
Try restoring your backup of GO SMS Pro without data in TiBu.

ever since i started using Hancent SMS, my Default Messaging app doesnt show threads/messages, even when i compose one from the Messaging app, how do i fix this?
stop using hancent sms! Nah... I'm just kidding.
Check with developer (you should be able to get en email either from the app itself or from the market). It could be a known bug or an undocumented feature of the app.
Good luck
im still having this problem. When i open handcent SMS i have like 50 threads of messages, but when i open default Messaging, it doesnt show any, just Compose New Message.....whats goin on?

Just out of curiousity....
Handcent is a default sms/mms replacement application, so why the love affair with the default app? I'm thinking its probably meant to use one or the other, not both. Perhaps once Handcent is installed, it routes everything in the mmssms.db file over to its directory and when its uninstalled it reverts back. Just a thought, of course, it doesn't really help you.
i wanted to start using it since Ted themed it to look more like Hero MMS, i use backuo for root users, so i backed up SMS/MMS and uninstalled Handcent, and then restored SMS.MMS but still wouldnt show up in MMS app

Did you reboot after the restore? You could also try pushing the backed up mmssms.db file from the backup for root users folder directly to the default messaging app's database folder, reboot and see if that works. The default messaging app folder is located here:
Code:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
i tried that and still nothing, also when i unistalled Handcent, i went into Messaging and tried to send message to myself, and never recieved it, same when i sent myself message from friends phone, somethings not right
It's been almost a week since the stock Messages app started acting up.
If I try to open the app by tapping the icon, it will start, briefly show the messages and close itselt with an error prompt that allows me to close it or send an error report. If I receive an SMS and tap the notification, the app opens and shows the message, I can reply and it works fine this way.
Restarting the phone sometimes solves this right away but it appears at random times. I don't text that much via SMS (mainly WhatsApp and Skype) but it's annoying to not be able to open the app to send an SMS on the rare occasions I need to.
I have an unlocked US model, I'm not rooted or anything. Using stock with Nova Launcher Prime and a couple icon packs.
Has anyone experienced this problem with the Messages app?
I'm currently waiting for the 4.2.2 update to show on the phone. I hope this is fixed in this update.
If the update doesn't fix it, I will try Textra or SMS Now. I've read good things bout them but I really didn't need an extra messaging app since I received or need to send 1-3 SMS a day.
Having a 3rd-party SMS apps will interfere with the stock Contacts and Dialer apps in some way?

First thing I would do is go into settings > apps >all. Go to messages then force stop. Reset defaults and delete data.. That should reset anything you may have changed on error. If that doesn't work do a factory reset. If that doesn't work then I would say your launcher has a conflict

I already deleted its cached data and reset default options. Could be Nova Prime Launcher having a conflict with Messages, but the strange thing is that it started to happen long after installing Nova.
I'm waiting for the 4.2.2 update. When it shows I will update and do a factory reset.
Thanks
Hi guys,
I am trying to restore my texts from my N5 to N6 and they restore fine but the timestamp for the received texts are all wrong, hence texts all over the place.
I have tried everything I know to fix this but nothing works, I have even tried to backup texts I received today and enabled the timezone options in the menu from the SMS Backup & Restore app but still does not work. It is reading today's received texts as yesterday. My sent texts are fine.
Anyone else had an issue like this?
Thanks

I would try the Go SMS app to backup and restore your texts. I did this a while back on a different phone, and recall the phone apply a "time fix" after restoring the messages to make sure the times were correct. You can install Go SMS on your N5, do a backup, put the backup file on google drive, Dropbox, etc. Install Go SMS on N6, download the backup file, and restore it in the Go SMS app. Once restored, proceed to use any messaging app you like, and uninstall Go SMS.
OK. Will try that on Monday as a friend is borrowing my N5 this weekend
Navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases where you'll find mmssms.db. Copy this over from your old phone to your new in in the same location and fix permissions so that both the owner and group have read/write permissions.
I've been using this method since Gingerbread and it's worked on every version of android since then.
You can also take telephony.db to transfer your call logs and blacklist.db for any blacklisted numbers.
Hope this helps.
You could always use titanium backup. Works for me

I have a big problem after I restored all my sms from my previous phone to my brand new OP3T.
The app that I have used is Superbackup and the restore was completed successfully.
But when I enter to the stock sms app I am only receiving a "Loading conversation" message and the worse part is that after that my whole phone hangs when I open apps like Google search,chrome etc
Is there any way to start fresh clean with my sms database, by removing all of the current sms saved?
Unleashed by ONEPLUS 3T rooted
Not sure if it will fix your problem, but in Titanium Backup it shows the SMS stored as "Messages (SMS & MMS)" and I've successfully backed up and restored this when migrating between ROMs on my 3T.
Not sure what the backup app you used is trying to do. Each phone manufacturer appears to store the SMS messages different, from what I've seen. My old HTC phone had them stored under a different name.
Very strange situation.
I cleared the Data from the messages app at the phone's settings and then everything was looking good, as it should have removed all sms.
Today I opened the messages app and all sms are there!
How is this possible??

Clearing data for your choice of SMS app will only temporary hide all messages until the app restores all SMSes from the system-wide database in /data/user_de/0/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/. You have to remove that database to really start from scratch.

Came here to post this exact location.
Should have been more clear, in Titanium, there are two different entries: "Messages" app and the "Messages (SMS & MMS)". I think the latter is the same as the database location given in the 2 above responses.
Is "Like" equal "Thanks"?
My girlfriend's Note 9 suddenly lost all of its SMS/MMS in the Samsung Messaging app.
Things I have tried:
1) Rebooted phone
2) Booted in safe mode
3) Wipe cache
4) Wiped the cache of the Messaging App
5) Checked that her Messaging app uses almost 400MB of storage, while my Note 9 which hasn't lost its messaging uses about 200MB, which tells me most likely all her messages are still there.
6) Tried to use SMS/Backup Restore app but it only sees the few new messages that have shown up since.
7) Tried to use Smart Switch to migrate the messages to a newer phone and also tried to use a Google Pixel 7 to migrate the data but it will only migrate the data since the messages went missing.
The folder where the data is stored which I believe is "/data/user_de/0/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db" is "permission denied" when I try ADB because her phone is not rooted and apparently a T-mobile Note 9 cannot be rooted. Is there any way to get to this data?
Any other ideas? She is desperate to get the messages back because there are memories of loved ones that have passed away etc. I'm open to suggestions, hiring someone that can help me retrieve them (or a donation to your fav charity?), etc.
Thanks in advance!
