Weird MMS issue - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has any one experienced this: I'll send a picture text then every thread I enter or re-enter my phone includes that picture that I sent. I've tried clearing the app data and even deleted the picture from my phone. Once it's been deleted it say can't find the picture. It happened on 4.2.2 and still persists on 4.3.
any help ?

Never seen this in my Z1.

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.

Have you tried Setting>Applications(sort all)>Messaging>Clear data?

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.

[Q] Not receiving MMS

So my wife and I both got Thrills the day they were released. Only a couple weeks after getting them my wife started having trouble receiving MMS's. Even with the "auto-download" setting enabled MMS's stopped auto-downloading and if she pushed download it would just say "downloading" and never download until she rebooted her phone. Mine was working fine so I didn't pay too much attention. I kinda figured it was cause she messages a hell of a lot more than me and it might be a glitch there. One day I started having the same problem so I assumed I had reached the number of MMSs that she had when she started having the problem. So I deleted all my text messages in the messaging app. So she sends me an MMS today and same thing, didn't auto-download, won't download when I click the button. I refuse to reboot my phone for everything. Anyone else having this problem? Know whats going on? Have a fix that doesn't require root or a new rom?

Had the same issue when I got my Thrill, I had to edit a setting. I forget what it was.....another thing that's stopped my MMS is having a **** load of Message in my inbox that aren't deleted.
Go t settings and set up auto delete, clear cache, & change what you please, after that report back in a day

Clear cache? In message settings? I actually deleted all my texts and still have this problem. I never set up auto delete on mine but I did my wife's. Either way it still happened to both of us. This "clear cache" sounds like a winner. I wonder if the pics get downloaded but just don't show up in the app. The next time it happens I'm gonna search the folder with ES and see if it's there.

Xperia Z - Contacts Goes missing

Hello
I have been using the Xperia Z for the past two months.
I see that the address book contacts goes to zero showing no contacts & call records.
After I restart the phone again, I can see my contacts list & call history. But this keeps happening twice or thrice a day.
Stamina mode doesn't work effectively after the last firmware update from Sony.
I saw few threads posting saying I gotta clear the data in the site apps, but I couldn't find it.
Any solution for the above mentioned problem ? ? ?

SMS Sends Twice

Hi;
I've got a strange problem where if I send an SMS to one particular contact in my phonebook, it will send the message to them twice. It isn't every message, but every 1 in 5 (sometimes its every other message) will send twice (on rare occasions three times). I've only had the phone for about 2 weeks but it's been happening since day one.
I've deleted the contact & readded but same thing happens. Tried changing format to +44 rather than 0... There's no duplicate contacts in play either. It's only this one contact that it happens to, and is fine if I use something like Whatsapp. But Whatsapp isn't causing the issue as it doesn't affect any other contacts.
I don't have any other SMS tools installed, just the stock.
Has anybody got any ideas? I've not done anything to the phone, not rooted or anything, everything is stock.
Thanks!
Maybe your service provider?

Both phones are Vodafone and are contracted to myself.
Issue is only from mine to theirs, I can text other Vodafone users with no issue
I'll get in touch with Vodafone & see what they can do. Probably send me a replacement SIM or something
I get that too but not just one contact.
So I found out that if you click the "send" button too many times it will auto send twice. Try hitting it once from now on.

I get what you're saying, but I do only press it once as far as I'm aware. I could accept a now and then, but it seems more often than not!
I've tried to replicate it and go mad whacking send to other contacts but it doesn't happen. Just this one particular one. Strange.

It's a problem with your carrier, I have the same thing happening, but only at random times not constantly.Try using another sim for 2 hours see if problem still persists, else clear settings on Text app. Or reinstall it, if you're using i1 Or aosp messaging app, revert to stock.

unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped

I am in a position where I'm unable to send text messages. When I try to I get the above error message or the message status keeps displaying as 'SENDING' but message never goes. I am able to make voice calls no problem. I have rebooted, force stopped the message app, all to no avail. I have been using the phone with no problems for months now and this happens out of the blue. Would really appreciate someone's help on this.

May be it's caused due to one one of the mods installed, apps, or data corruption. Reflashing the rom should eliminate the problem.

Ooops bit embarrassed but posting this in case someone else makes the same mistake. But it seems the SMS I was responding to comes from a number which does not accept text messages. This was also causing other messages to be held up which explains why legit responses were slow to send. So hopefully problem is solved.
Will probably upgrade my slim bean rom next week hopefully it goes smoothly
