Hi all.
At the moment i'm unable to receive any SMS. This happens since two weeks. I Updatet my old Galxy to Cyanogenmod 10.2.1 three weeks ago, and it could be because of this. If i open the sms app from cyanogenmod, i see old sms and one sms from last week, which i don't remember receiving. Once i click on the sms / Dialogue, i see just a blank page, same for other sms.
Is thee a way to just reinstall the sms app from cyanogenmod? maybe that would fix my problems...
Try a full wipe data an cache.If that doesn't work, reinstall the rom again.
Ok, i removes my sms settings with titanium backup, that did the trick (although all my old sms are gone, but that's no big problem). Buuut... No if got other problems: My google play app doesn't work anymore, it just said "no connection". My swipe keyboard won't build any words (although the line itself from the fingers still works), and threema has problems since the push service doesn't work anymore
Sooo... At the moment i'm planning a full wipe and reinstall of the durrent cyanogenmod on the weekend...
If you have done a full wipe and cache and problems still appear i suggest you do a clean install of the rom, just to be sure.Maybe something went wrong when you installed it, who knows :-? .Backup everything you need and give it a shot.

Hey everyone,
So on the past few ROMs I've been using (Slim, CM9, etc.) I've experienced the same problem: on the stock messaging app, when viewing the list of contacts/numbers (not an individual persons messages), it does not show their messages—only my own.
So, for example, if I send Bob a text and he replies, the preview of the last message is my last message, even though he was the last person to text in the message list.
This wouldn't be a huge problem, but it causes the order of texts to be messed up. If I haven't texted Bob in months, his name will be far down on the list. If he then texts me and I clear the notifications, his name (and his new message) will still be far down the list, causing me to overlook it.
Can anyone give me some insight on what is causing this? It's extremely annoying. And I would love to fix it. Thanks!
You have probably already done this, but just in case - have you tried to backup messages with sms backup & restore, then delete all messages, clear data/cache, uninstall updates, etc. for Messaging (mms.apk).
Then restore messages from backup.
Because for me CM9 messaging app properly shows last message text in all messages/contacts view. Of course I've only some 40 messages from 3-4 contacts

I cleared data, cache (even wiped dalvik cache) uninstalled it, then flashed the latest nightly to restore it. Same problem.
What the heck is going on here...

Last thing I may propose: look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667615.
At least OP, Difusal, shall be knowledgeable regarding mms.apk.

I've tried various apks, wiping everything, etc. I can't figure this out. I feel it must have to do with Phone/Messaging Storage, as I haven't tried clearing/wiping that yet. I don't want to lose my texts though, so I'll try that at a later date. I really appreciate your help!
Id try another sms app like handcent and see of that also happens. At least it will serve to see if its an app or internal message system thing. I never paid too much attention to that but i don't think i have that problem (i use handcent)
Actually, i always thought the standard sms app is very lacking and doesn't display the behaviour id like so id recommend replacing it anyway.

I'll give it a go. The alternatives always look horribly cluttered and ugly every time I look at their market pictures. I'm somewhat of a minimalist myself. But thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a go.
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, first of all thanks for the help you could bring me. My problem is that since yesterday night I'm not receiving any kind of sms or mms on my stock messaging app. Today I was trying to solve it but with no success. So I installed Go SMS Pro and to my surprise it worked, I started receiving SMS and mms, but still the stock messaging app is not alerting of upcoming sms even though it's receiving them (I think that they share a common folder and that's why if in go SMS pro it works it'll show on stock messaging app, so in theory stock is not receiving but just showing, am I right?).
For now I'm using SMS go pro, but I'd like to know why this happened. I read something about accessing a hidden testing menu (*#*#4636#*#*) to change the smsc but that menu is not available on my phone (any idea why?) tried the code above and tried using those apps that serve as a shortcut. The screen goes dark as it's trying to access the testing menu and returns to home screen, in other apps (like missing shortcuts) it shows as unavailable. I even edited the hiddenmenu file on efs/carrier from OFF to ON and still the testing menu doesn't appear. I'm using my phone right now with mobile data, wifi works well and so do phone calls, no problems at all.
I'd really appreciate any ideas that could help me. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 running 4.3 firmware, I updated from 4.1.2 a couple of days ago but didn't have any problems, I could receive sms normally. The problem happened suddenly yesterday night.

there is an option in Messaging app...Auto Retrieve - check if enabled....
if other app work with no problem it's just an app related problem..not something else...check in app setting maybe something is not enabled...
a factory reset would make it work for sure....but is too much...

Thanks for the answer. Yeah, I don't want to factory reset since I've just did it to upgrade to 4.3. About the app settings, I've just tried all the possible combinations. I'm just using GO SMS Pro for now but MMS aren't downloading. Sigh.

try this: go to Settings->More->Application Manager-> Select "All" tab -> select Messaging-> Clear data + Clear cache...
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

Hi guys i hope somebody can help me, i receveid a new z3c because the old one got some death pixels, so like the first one i did root-backup-drm-keys then i install all in one lollipop version by hispanico so everything was fine, the problem now is when i receive sms (using the stock or hang outs) i see the notification i open it and read it then if i want to see the sms again i cant, i dont erase them, the sms seems to be there but when i try to see it no text is show, i already change between stock and hang out and its the same, but the stock erase them, hang outs dont, also i changed the options in the two apps being each one as default sms app, but no success, some times works fine but after a while, I click in the sms and the whole conversation is gone, i already wipe cache and dalvik, uninstall/install stock sms app and hang outs too, verify the system hour but the problem remains. by the way i can receive and send sms.
after a quick search on the net some people seems to have the same issue, some answers are to disable notification in the app options, others to turn off the phone some seconds, change the preview option, factory reset, others that you only need and update, and the one that seems to be work (fastest)install textra, No other apps textra will do the job
