Hey Guys. First of all, I'd like to thank all the brilliant minds here in xda for helping regular users like me.
So here's my problem. I have a SM-N9208 duos. Rooted and installed xposed a couple of days ago. Everything was going as planned when suddenly my default sms app that came with the phone suddenly can't send a new text message. It keeps on saying "Unable to add some receipients. Number is not valid." I tried multiple times changing the format of the numbers. With spaces then without but to no avail. I'm currently using the GO Sms Pro app for my messages since it supports dual-sim phones but I would really want my default messaging app back.
Update:
Successfully flashed xposed update 78.1. Still not working at the moment. I also did a complete wipe but the problem persists.

To put it simply just restore factory presets and try again. Should work.

I have experienced the same problem.
How would restoring factory presets help? (and what settings does this actually restore?)
same probleme with mine (SFR France), it suddenly started doing that two days ago and now all new received messages are messed up.
Will try to delete the messaging cache only at first (I have quite a few programs installed and would not like to reset the tablet....)
if anyone has a fix (even if it needs root......) I am happy to know it.
It seems to happen with all android phones BTW, so must be solved somehow no?
Had the same thing, after reboot all messages were in the right conversations.

Nothing new, had this issue with multiple Android devices.
A long long discusion about it, and it seemes google has fixed the sms problems, so its just to await updates from vendors.
PS a good rule to folow is.
Once you open messaging app, let it settle before moving arround in messages.
There have been issues with sms showing up under wrong persons, and sms going out to wrong person, depending on faulty situation.
Btw as long as you always send clean and nice sms's its not a real problem? is it?
Hahaha

true!
BTW, I have my tab working back ok.
what I did is go on settings/softwares/Manage/ and force closed and deleted all cache from the messaging programs.
after that, I had to reset my SMS ringtones, server phone number and it goes great since!
no format or loss of any message, and everything sorted out.
give it a try, always better than a wipe.
I could not find the path mentioned Settings/Softwares/Manage. Are you talking about Settings from the sms screen, the main tab screen, or something else? Appreciate if you could help to clarify.
Thanks.

I haven't received any texts for over a week now. I was running CyanogenMod 6.1 and tried multiple times to reboot/re-flash/wipe to no avail. Yesterday I flashed to CM7 and still no luck. Anyone have any ideas?
Am I the only one who sees a new post with this topic at least once a week? Too bad there's not a search option on xda. /end rant
Nandroid, flash a Sense based ROM, update profile & PRL, confirm that you can send & receive SMS, restore your nandroid.

Flash a sense rom, update your profile and prl. Send and receive a few text. Flash back to cm.
I haven't had this issue but it's worked for some. Task killers or removing the messaging apk because you use a 3rd party app would be another couple of common things

Or do what he said

Sorry for the annoyance, but thanks for helping me out. It seems to be working now, though I couldn't restore my nand backup for some reason. Oh well.
SMS compatibility issues
I am having what I believe to be compatibility issues with my hero. When my friends send me those annoying mass MMS's with video or something moving in the message all I get is the first still frame of whatever the video is. What could be the problem? I am using CM6 stable.
The problem is their mms and cm. You can view it on the sprint picture site or some you can save to sd by long pressing the message and view from there

Hey, I recently ran into a problem and have not been able to find a solution with extensive searching.
I would like to interact with iphone group messages, as almost all of my friends in school use the iphone and there are several group messaging threads going around. The only app that I have found that works (I am open to an alternative!) is the VZmessanger. Unfortunately, running Liberty ROM 2.0, after installation I run the app only to receive the error message "SDK Initialization Failed." and the app wont open.
I am sure this has something to do with a custom ROM because it worked when I was on rooted stock. If anyone had any insight it would be helpful.
Handsent works well with iPhone and android both

Wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I got my Nexus 4 (Yeah!), started it up, logged into my google acct, everything started downloading/restoring from google. I checked out the Messaging app and settings, and noticed a "group messages" setting. Sweet!!! But then I got a system update notification. I obviously installed it. After installing it, I used gobackup pro to restore my messaging threads. NOT THE APP, just the threads. Checking the settings again, the "group messages" setting was gone! Just gone! Not sure if it was the system update, or the thread restore, but I am perplexed. I've done 2 factory resets since, but the setting is still gone. Messaging ver. is 4.2-57622 or something like that (don't have the phone with me at the moment.) I'm guessing it had to do with the system update, and that is why it's still not there after the factory resets, but, I really have no idea. I am stock, no root, or unlocked bootloader. Stock, pure stock (the reason I bought a nexus device). Any help or related info would be greatly appreciated! I've searched everywhere, and seem to be the only one with this issue. Any screenshots of anyone else's messaging settings running that app version would help too. Thanks
You'd probably get more help if this was in the Q&A section.

Man, I'm confused. I have no idea what happened. The group part is totally omitted from mine. I've tried to reinstall the app, but can't get very far without root. Thank you for the screenshot. At least I know that the setting isn't just hidden in the Ota update.
Have you tried the reset settings to default option? Or clearing the data for the messaging app?

Yeah, done both. One thing someone just said in another thread, isit may be carrier dependent, and the OTA update hides the setting unless your carrier supports it. Being as I have only played with the phone on wifi just to make sure I am happy with it and don't want to return it,(as it is a christmas present ) I'm starting to wonder if that is my problem. I have no sim installed, so the settings may be hidden until you pop a sim in and the phone recognizes that your carrier supports it.
hi,
I have a strange bug that make me many times just disappointed about Samsung so much
I get message from Whatsapp. its a new friend. i press add, new contact, i fill the details in the contact screen. i press OK. i see it is saved on google as i wanted.
i go back and... it haven't been saved. I try to search the contact but no sign of it.
I tried another way, I add new contact from the contact built in app of the note 5.
same thing again.
been in a new study group, added all my friends, came home and no one added ...
if i wait a few sec after i add (before get out of the contact screen) or press edit after saved then i have a chance to keep the new contact.
it was a bug on the 5.1.1 ver and now same on android 6.
it is driving me crazy !!!
is it only me ?
is it Samsung ?
It was on many kind of Roms and now also on the stock as well.
and yes, sync is always work on my phone.
Please help !
Thanks
It has nothing to do with Samsung or with your phone. Just clean the cache in settings for Whatssapp then restart the phone. I have a note 5 also and everything is working fine. Eventually uninstall and reinstall Whatssapp.

Thanks for your answer.
clean is impossible while i have already had a full format and full wipe and i do it many times.
it is a bug i guess.
and what is the connection to whatsapp while the "contacts app is made by samsung and built on the google contacts database ?
Works fine for me. Nobody else seems to be having this issue.
Try starting your phone in safe mode and try adding a contact.

I just started having this problem few days ago
Happened to me 1 time but I just added them through the gmail contacts on the web and haven't had any issues since. Check the accounts on your phone, check the google account and make sure everything is syncing properly.
I have the same issue on MM Note5. Still no solution?
