Sorry I created a similar thread in the Accessories section.
So I am on stock 5.1 unrooted and it takes forever to read contacts. When I go to dialer it takes probably 40-50 seconds to open up and show my last few calls or starred contacts. At times when I am getting a call it doesnt show the contact name even if I have the contact saved.
Suggestions?
P.S- tried wiping data for the contacts app and even the dialer. No change. Even tried third party dialers. No change
So turns out I needed to clear data of "Contact storage" in order to fix this.

Its weird I can send gTalk messages, and can run the sync in settings but it wont update my gmail. I test sent my self a message from my phone and it wont send Its said sending for the past 4 hours and if I scroll down it tries to load older messages and gets stuck. It keeps saying no connection.
Any Ideas?
Tried a hard reset and a soft and a three button reboot. Cant figure this one out.
Did you try both in wifi and 3g? Also do you have that option in astro to enable download of zips checked? That may also be the problem

Ok I was able to resolve it by clearing the data and cache for gmail and gmail storage. I went through my actions and discovered there is a limit to how many pictures we can attach to an email or it will cause this problem. The only way to fix it is to clear the data. I can send up to chunks of ten 5mp pictures without it stalling the gmail app. Hope this helps someone else.
Hi, yesterday I added a new contact into my Nexus. When I went to text the contact later on, the message failed to send. I noticed that I had entered the contact number incorrectly (had an extra 0 at the front) and corrected my mistake. The thing is now, whenever I receive a message from that contact, and reply, it tries to reply to the incorrect number I originally entered, even though there is no reference to it. I have to keep deleting the thread on Handcent, and starting a new one, but it still always messes up when I have to reply to a text.
Anyone know why this is? I tried to delete the contact from the phone, and I get this message: "This contact contains information from multiple accounts. Information from read only accounts will be hidden in your contacts lists, not deleted"
If it's of any help I have nexus one with cyanogenmod 6.0 installed and use handcent and have whatsapp installed as well (not sure if ths makes any difference)
Bump, incase anyone missed it.
Have looked at the contact info via your web Gmail?
When you go to edit your contact, keep scrolling down. Android as an annoying way a merging multiple contacts if they have the same name...

Did that but there is nothing out of the ordinary there either.
Try clearing data from your Dailer and Dailer storage?

Did that too, as well as contact storage and contacts. It has to be being cached somewhere, but I don't know where.
I have an issue that comes up randomly. I noticed that sometimes when i send or receive a text message that there is a chance that it will create a new thread. So basically i have 2 ongoing text message threads with some of my contacts. This happens often when creating a new message, sometimes when i receive a reply, and rarely (but still happens) when replying to a thread. Replying to a thread is the weirdest one because i type and hit send and suddenly all the messages disappear as it created a new thread, or all the messages change since it threw me into the other ongoing thread.
Is this supposed to be a feature? At first I thought it dealt with a setting I saw where after 3 minutes it can stop grouping messages or something like that. I can't seem to find the option now. But i use GO SMS Pro and saw this 'bug' (as i see it) before i installed GO and now the issue is mirrored both in GO and the native android text messaging app. Is there any way to turn this off? I just want all my texts for one contact in one thread in the order they were sent/received.
I haven't encountered this, but I installed handcent the first day I had my phone and haven't looked back.

I remember reading about someone else having this same problem, never happened to me tho.
Yeah like i said i dont think its the 3rd party app since i see the same exact thing in the native app. I'm worried about rooting and freezing the service before i can fix it, for now anything that goes wrong i can switch back and forth to try and trouble shoot or try and find the root cause. do the 3rd party apps just pull info from the native android app or do they receive the messages separately?
I had this problem. Turns out somehow the phone number was copied and it was under mobile and home. There was a sms thread for the home and a thread for the mobile but since they were the same number it took me a while to figure out. Hope that helps. Deleting one of the numbers will stop it. At least it did for me

I have this issue occasionally too. Although I noticed that the number format was different. One would include country code and the other thread was just area code and number

Same issue here, with the stock app, with just one person.
I can only find one iteration of the number so I have no idea how to remedy it.

same here, most of my contacts i only have a mobile number saved in the first place. its not so much frustrating as it is just kind of weird. i can still text fine but it would be nice to have it all together.
I am using Stock GB version 20G... My Messaging App is showing "1" home screen but there are no texts. I have tired.. Battery pull, trying another sim card, deleted Messages data...
I can't think of anything else to try and don't want to do a hardware reset...
Any ideas???.
I had the same problem and solved by deleting the sms database.
You have to delete /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
That's the SMS database file. After that, reboot your phone and try to receive a SMS to regenerate the file.
You can backup that file just in case.
Cheers!

When ever iv had that problem I just waited for another message and it cleared the 1 away.
Still got it showing 1 on the homescreen Messaging app. Deleted all android data on internal sd & external sd. Been texting off/on since it happened Friday. Just trying to ignore it but am sure it will delete itself after a couple of weeks lol (I hope).
U could try flash a new ROM if u want. Lol
For me, deleting the file with Root Explorer did the trick.

Just thought I would mention that its strangely sorted it self lol. As it was New Years, sent loads of texts and let them build up and it was showing 23 on Messaging App. Left them for a while and then started to read each one.
For some reason, this then refreshed the amount of messages and its not showing any texts unread now . Seems yet another bug with the O2X?.

If you are using an alternative messaging app, then you need to disable the notifications from the stock messaging app. Otherwise it will always be showing that there are unread messages.

No, its the original LG Optimus 2X Stock GB Messaging App lol. Never used a another one as I like the standard messaging app... So, it was never that.
Still find it all strange though :-$

Try and send yourself loads of texts and let them build up.. Then click on them one by one. That's what sorted mine, but got 23 texts from.different people on New Years Eve lol.
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.
