Anyone else who got this update?? If yes what are the new features?? It only says bug fixes. But i noticed that joyn was uninstalled and is now included in the sms app. I can change at the top between sms and joyn. But i don't know how pictures are send via mms, or via joyn. And i cannot change to sms for ever. So evertime i reopen sms the text message will be send via joyn if i don't change it for every message. Is there a way to make SMS to default??

Check the version number, I think it might be 4.4.4. As far as joyn is concerned, I have heard about it for the first time.....mainly because it only may have a user base in Europe. Joyn wasn't included in my phone.(Bought mine in Saudi Arabia)
Still on 4.4.2. Maybe the Telekom just moved joyn and sms together in one app. My one is branded.

Most likely, carrier branded phones usually have a different software version and update cycle

I have recently flashed DDJG4 and its by far the smoothest eclair for me but I have noticed that some of my contacts have a bug in messaging. Only their number shows up opposed to their name. This is annoying as I dont know who the message is from unless i open the contact details.
Contact details is fine, no problem. Just the messaging app.
Anyone else notice this? any fix ideas?
thanks
don't have enough messages from different people to confirm (only 4 so far). however, on a related note, do you see a long delay between unlocking the screen using the puzzle piece and the corresponding message opening in the messaging app?
Not checked. I use pattern lock. Ill have a go and see.

Sorry to say, but its just you.
I have over 41 conversations and all the names display correctly.
I noticed lagging on the lock screen to messaging in ddjf3
In ddjg4 there is no more lag anywhere.
I put the ext2 1gb lagfix just for the heck of it and the phone is now faster than me.
Reflash and see whats wrong.
Use the Backup apps from ritesh sahu.
I use them to backup my data before flashing.
I have the same problem too when I imported/restored about 150 old messages. Did you manage somehow to get rid of the problem? On my phone it's only some contacts where only the number is shown and not connected to a contact. This problem started for me when changing to the jm firmware line. For the jf and jg firmwares this problem does not appear.
Strangely, handcent sms has no problem with the sms/contacts. Therefore, this has to be a bug in the samsung sms application, not in our data.
Hello,
I am using a BLU Vivo XL with metroPCS service and I am having a two MMS issues: 1) Every MMS is duplicated, and 2) MMS service is very unreliable over WiFi. Also, I have 1 sms issue where my messages from some contacts do not thread/aggreagate correctly. For example, I send a sms to ContactA and when they respond, it is in a new thread, I can then continue the conversation in that new thread.
I have updated my APN information to the t-mobile settings. I have had a "phone reset" by a metroPCS CSR over chat. Any ideas on how to rectify these issues?
Similar Problem
I have a similar problem on AT&T. I get duplicate group messages while using google messenger. It only happens with group messages and is fine with normal MMS. Sorry I was unable to help, but you are not alone.

I'm trying to use my BLU Vivo XL with Chomp Messenger (AT&T). It seems to work other than it won't play any notification sounds no matter which one I choose. It's not blinking the message led either.
I was having the same issue on T-Mobile, my solution was to go through each contact and make sure there were no spaces in any contact numbers. Example: 1 (123) 456-7890 would give me problems, but 1(123)456-7890 worked just fine.

Exactly the same with me on AT&T. Any time someone sends me an MMS, I get 2 pictures instead of just one. Crazy. I also get the issue where I send a SMS, and then when they reply, it starts a new thread instead of appearing in the one I just sent. Weird. Let me know if you figure this out.
I seem to have found the CAUSE of this problem, but I have yet to find a solution. I had the same problem as the OP when receiving MMS. Instead of getting one picture, I would always get 2. No matter who was sending to me. Also, as the OP stated, "messages from some contacts do not thread/aggreagate correctly. For example, I send a sms to ContactA and when they respond, it is in a new thread, I can then continue the conversation in that new thread."
I remembered that when I got this phone, I replaced the stock messaging app with Google Messenger (I thought the stock messenger was lacking). I had a hunch that the 2 messaging apps were somehow conflicting with each other. So I deleted google messenger and had my daughter send me a picture. Boom. Problem fixed. I received only one picture from her using the stock messenger app. So I re-installed the Google Messenger app from the play store and had her send me the same picture again. This time, I received TWO pictures. I have no idea how to fix this behavior as you cannot "disable" the stock messenger app. I probably could try a different messenger app other than Google Messenger, but that's the one that I like. Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: I deleted Google Messenger and tried a different messenger just to test, and it worked as it should. So it must me some kind of incompatibility with Google Messenger, and I'm guessing other messenger apps.

Yup, there appears to be a non-stock messenger app problem. Both Google Messenger and Textra were resulting in duplicate MMS.
I saw this thread and thought I would jump on here real quick. My GF also has metro PCS and she keeps trying to swap the default messaging client out with say GO SMS pro. And whenever she gets a new text she doesnt get any audible notifications. And the LED doesnt light up so she has to manually check her phone all the time. Has anyone else experienced that? Have a fix?

Swipe down from the status bar, click the little icon on the right, select GO SMS pro, toggle the Set to important notice.
Phone type: Blu Life One X on Android 5.1 (whatever happened to Blu promises for a droid version update? Word of caution: Don't believe Blue marketing 'promises'. Nice phone, but don't buy it unless its the OS you are willing to live with until your next phone)
Ever since google began sending love notes about its texting app becoming obsolete and I began using a different texting app (forget which one), I started having problems with duplicate messages being received. Last night I installed Textra and thought the problem was finally gone. Today while looking at the same texts received during testing last night, I suddenly have duplicate texts from last night for some messages (they were single copies last night). Really bizarre. I have also noticed that with Textra, the double text replies seem to now be only with my group texts.
Reading various threads, I became suspicious that maybe something in the Google contact phone numbers has become corrupted. Sure enough, some of the group contact phone numbers could no longer be easily edited. I messed around with the suspect contact information until I could edit the phone number to its simplest form (from +1 (123) 345-7890 changed to 123-456-7890). Seems to be working now. Will need another day to see if the texting acts up once again.
Now to figure out what is corrupting my Google contact information...
it's the 6.0 marshmallow update ..my Blu Vivo was just fine until i updated my phone i suggest you factory reset your phone.
Has anyone noticed an oddness with the stock messaging app on the P9?
When I send out a group message, say to 2 or 3 of my friends. When they reply to the message, their messages come separate as individual messages and not show up in the original message thread that was sent.
I had the EVA-10(Chinese dual sim 64gb) but got rid of that and got the L09 Int'l Unlocked single sim version. Both are doing the same thing.
Just wanted to see if anyone knows if there is a solution to fix this?
Also, I didn't have this issue on the Chinese version but I am having it on this Int'l Unlocked version. The stock messaging app is giving me this error when I want to text someone. 3rd party apps work but the stock is not allowing me to text people within the app. If I go under contacts and choose to send a text through the contacts app with the default messaging app, it works just fine but it won't work from the messaging app directly. Really odd.
Thanks
Huawei P9 stock SMS app issues - need group MMS fix
I confirm having the same issue with the unlocked international (EVA-L09) version of the Huawei P9.
You can fix the texting individual people by reformatting your contact numbers into appropriate international format with Playstore app "Twitch 2.0". That worked great for me and avoided the need for any root access.
I still need a fix for the group MMS issue. All me sends to/from a group always come through individually.
Hope we find a fix!!
Yes I noticed the invalid number issue had something to do with only US numbers. Every int'l number I had in my contacts would work just fine. All I had to do was to put a +1 in front of the US people and that fixed the issue but like you said no solution for the MMS issue at the moment. I am hoping with @paulobrien getting a ROM out soon, we might get our issue resolved. I will shoot a tweet out to Huawei too but doubt they will even respond.
Any update on this issue? I'm experiencing the same problem and was hoping someone had figured it out by now.
I know this is an old thread, but was hoping someone found a fix for the group MMS issue? I have a P10 and the same thing is happening. Huawei support was no help.
I have been using this device (CLT L29) for 2 weeks now and I've totally enjoyed it. This happiness only got shattered when I realized that I couldn't send messages on this device.
After series of research, I got to know that its message centre number isn't set. This is where the problem is.
My came with Google Sms as its default sms app and this app doesn't allow for manual sms message centre settings.
I need help guys!

My phone is a dual-sim version from Austraila (XQ-AT52). I'm in the US.
As I was setting up my phone, and before I installed the ATT sim card, the native google text message app showed the ability to use MMS for Group chats. As soon as I put the sim in, that option disappears from the menu.
Now, in the group texts ported over from my old Sony, I get a note right in the message sequence saying that all messages will be sent to each person in the group individually, and by SMS not MMS.
It seems like this might be a function of this build not being a US build, and that somehow there's a firmware difference where the single Sim, non 5G phones in the US (and maybe Taiwan) doesn't have the issue.
I'm using a third party app called Textra, and it's working okay, but I'd really like to get back to the native Google App with full group text functionality. I'm not sure if it's an ATT issue (given the option exists until I plug in the ATT sim card) or if it's a build issue, and I need to modify the phone.
Help!

How did you buy one from Australia? They don't sell them there. Also try putting the ATT sim in the second sim slot.
Cheers, Ben
Anyone have any solutions/suggestions? I have the same model (XQ-AT52) and am in Canada and it does not have the group MMS option in Advanced settings. Is this basically a build issue?
Gonna bump this old thread. Anyone ever find a fix? XQ-AT52 here on ATT in the US also no group messaging in Google messages either, and Textra is pretty awful...

That might be a problem with the carrier
Fixed it. used Newflasher and replaced my HK firmware with TW firmwarre, and replaced the oem_cust files from that, with the US firmware files, and now group messaging in android messages works.
Just because I'm curious; why do you still use MMS?
