This issue has been bugging me for quite some time now. I can't access the dialer at all. Clicking phone numbers through a text or a website results in the same message popping up and then closing. The 'Dialer' app will appear for a split second followed by the error. The only way I have been able to make calls is to save the number and calling them through 'Contacts' or the call button from Hangouts.
What is also weird is that from the lock screen I can access 'Emergency call' with no issues. Never had this issue prior to updating to 4.4 (Also, the caller ID feature isn't enabled or there for some reason..). Stock with unlocked bootloader, no root. Switching back to Dalvik from ART didn't resolve it either. However, I had the same issue with my GNex but I had that phone rooted with CM 10.2 Nightlies so I assumed the issue was with the roms.
Anyone have a fix for this issue (other than installing a 3rd party dialer app)?

Do you have Youmail installed by chance? Or any app that syncs to the dialer for contact info?

Huh. As a matter of fact, I do. I was thinking that YouMail may have been causing some issues but I was unable to troubleshoot it so that I could get the dialer to work again. Suggestions?? Thanks for your help so far :good:

Yeah I had the same problem. I ended up uninstalling youmail and I got in touch with them on their getsatisfaction.com forum. They pushed out an update, uninstalling and reinstalling with the new update fixed the problem for me.
Updated to stock 4.4.2 today and after that my contact pics are gone from Textra. I have also tried Handcent and Ninja sms but contact pics only show in my contact list and in the stock messaging app.
Tried removing the Facebook sync and uninstalling Textra. Then restarted, readded the Facebook sync and then reinstalled Textra. Didn't get me anywhere.
I've googled and searched this forum but it seems that I'm fairly alone with this issue after this update. Worked fine before the update on stock 4.3.
Any ideas?

Did you ever solve this? I have the same problem as you. HTC One with Textra...cleared data/cache from app. Uninstalled, then reinstalled and still nothing. Never had an issue before 4.4.2

Unfortunately no. I gave up and installed Sync Me recommended by the Textra team. It fixed the problem but I don't like having to install an additional app to solve my problem.

ya, i was about to reply with the same solution. i installed it, synced everything and then just hibernated sync.me. Definitely not a great solution but i've had issues with every single sms app out there and this one has had the least amount of issues so hopefully this is it.

Yep. I had this problem after updating to 4.4 and still in 4.4.2. I asked around but nobody ever answered me. Did some searching and I believe it is because either Facebook or Google or HTC only allows for the Contact photos to be used in system apps (such as the stock messaging app or stock contacts app) but not for third-party apps, hence the need of sync.me or haxsync or whatever. I have been searching for another solution cause I hate that stuff and I feel like the only solution is to flash a custom rom. Just thought I'd share.
Also, someone else asked in Dec but no replies

You have to remember that awhile ago google removed the facebiok sync option from the stick set up due to FB privacy policies. You will have no choice but to use a 3rd party app to do this from now on, if you want to sync to FB.

I read about that searching for an answer to the problem, however I read the change was made back in 4.1. I upgraded from 4.3 and this was not an issue before the upgrade. Sync me runs smoothly in the background and doesn't bother me much so for now I'm going along with it.
System app fix
There's a simple fix without a third party syncing app if you're rooted. Use titanium backup to convert Textra to a system app and all your contact pictures should show right up. I know I'm a little late to the party, but I figured I'd throw this out there in case anyone was still looking for a fix.

This process worked for me too, except I used FX File Explorer to move the apk to the system/app folder using root explorer. (I didn't have the donate version of Titanium Backup to convert it to a system app.) Just needed to reboot and all the contact pics showed up. Sprint HTC One M7. (Android 4.4.3 but also worked on 4.4.2). Thanks for this great tip!
I have a rooted Nokia X2, and somehow the stock Messaging app (MMS.apk) has gone missing from my phone. I am unable to send/receive text messages on my mobile at all :crying:
Can someone help me here by providing the stock messaging app apk installer?
Any other way to fix this will also be appreciated
Thanks in advance!
Note to mods: Apologies for posting this again in this forum (had posted two days back in the X2 Apps and Themes forum). You can delete that thread now.
Install Google Messenger from the Play Store
Thanks Rahim, that fixed the issue and I can send/receive SMS now!

Hi, how are you guys? I have the following problem. When I go to send a SMS, the message it wasn't show into the send SMS, and it wasn't sent. I have stock ROM 5.1.1 with ElementalX
I didn't notice the error before, I installed the ROM again on Saturday, and I saw the issue today when I tried to send a SMS.
Anybody else got this problem?

Check your APN settings are correct, sounds like you are missing something.

The aPN settings are ok. The problem looks that it's in the application. When I press send, the sms don't show up in the screen or there wasn't sended.
Just in case I deleted all the APN settings, and reinstalled all again, but the problem persist.
It's possible reinstall only the sms app?
The rom it's LMY48M.

Try installing Handscent or chomper and see if you get the same result. If your using the stock messenger, you can disable it and uninstall the updates but not uninstall the app.

In your apn settings check to make sure you have the correct mms proxy and mms port, also check your apn type mine is default,mms,supl but best to google the settings for your provider

Yes, the APNs are ok. I have two. One for Internet and another for MMS. I did a "Reset to default" and the information for each APNs are the same as the provider.
I had few problems with sms before as well and I just installed a different sms app (like Google Messenger) and made it default one. Everything worked fine after and it usually even looks better.

I can't see it being the kernel, I was running the same one but I flashed back to the stock one. Never had a problem sending sms on either though to be honest. Did you check your providers website to make sure it isn't on their end? Also can you receive texts?

Yes, the most strange it's that I can receive sms, for that reason today I realized of this issue. I received a sms and when I was to reply, I couldn't.
The kernel it's stable. I used it before and I could send a sms.
I hate to say it but maybe factory reset? clear both cache... if that isn't it..... reflash with stock kernel and see if that does it..... just dont flash userdata so you dont loose anything.... it sure sounds like a settings problem though... who is the provider?
Are you using Hangouts? I had this problem and then switched over to Messenger and its all good now. Might be a totally different issue, but maybe worth a shot.

Yes, I think so, but I don't want to jaja. I will try to go back to the stock kernel, and if that doesn't work, yes I will do a factory reset.

I disable Hangouts, but the problems still persist. You go to Apps > Hangouts and disable it? o you did something else?

So, it isn't that. neither the kernel. I have to do a factory reset. I will try with a TWRP BackUp, and if does not work, then I will do it.
I did a factory reset, and the problem was solved. Thanks to all!!!!
Hello everyone,im curious to know if anyone else is experiencing problems with Facebook app that is pre-installed on our devices? I seem to be having issues with my notifications not clearing in the app when i log in and then go and read them. They remain blue after i check them for some reason and do not go white like they should. At first i thought it might be an issue with Facebook itself,but all my other Android devices are clearing the read notifications and my laptop also when i log in via the internet.
Ive tried clearing cache and data for the app and even disabled it so i can re-start it but all to no avail. My notifications in the app are still not clearing and it is really annoying as i dont know whicpg are previously read and which are not. Can anyone shed some light on this issue for me please?
