[Q] No Group MMS Threading!!

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.

Google Contacts broken after 4.2.2 update

Is there any way to manually uninstall and reinstall Google Contacts on my Nexus 7? Ever since I updated, I just get the message "App stopped working" when I try to run it. I've tried stopping it, flushing the cache, signing out of my account, nothing helps.
I would appreciate any help. The tablet is rooted, so I know that opens up possible solutions.

I got it to go away by clearing the data of Contacts/Contacts Sync and then clearing data for Google Services Framework. Just go into Settings > Apps > All and they'll be in that list. It happens when you flash one rom over another one or something and they have some files that get mixed up. It seems like it's an issue that happens to a lot of people, but almost every thread has a somewhat different solution.
Hopefully my method works, if it doesn't, then reboot and go to Settings > Accounts (Google) > your email. In the upper right sign out of your account and then sign back in by going to any Google app. After a hand full of personal occurrences and many google searches, I believe this will work.
...Ok, apparently this method works somewhat. I still get the message once after every boot up, but it doesn't show up after that. The only really reliable way to get rid of it is to backup your apps (not the google ones, since they are broked) and factory reset, since that does always remove it.

Thanks for replying.
After clearing the caches and restarting, my message went from "app not working" to "app not installed."

I'm trying to avoid the factory reset. I know it will work, but I consider it the option of last resort.

Hi!
I have been facing a new problem since this morning on my HTC One M7 running ARHD. When I am attempting to make a regular phone call I am not getting any dialer tone, the receiver answers my call but there is no sound being sent from my phone to him nor I can get any sound from the person I am calling. I tried making varioud VOIP calls thorugh Viber, Google hangouts etc. they seem to be working perfectly. What could be the problem!?
PS: This is urgent, as I need to get my one and only phone working to make phone calls!

Clear Play services and Google Services Framework data and restart.

Excellent advice srideep!
Yesterday I started experiencing the exact same problem as yashodhan92: No audio in either direction of the call. In the past a simple reboot has solved the problem but this time it didn't work. And just like the OP, VoIP services worked normally. I was hesitant to perform a Clear all data but felt I had nothing to lose after a day and a half without the ability to make or receive calls with the native phone app. I performed the clear data and rebooted. Phone is back! Thanks a ton!
FYI, I have an HTC One M7 running MaxHD 42.0.0 (Android 4.4.3/Sense 6.0)

Problem solved !
Had the same problem , and the solution provided works like charm . Wondering what would be the cause .

Anybody got any more to offer on this??
The above fix gives me one or two calls then the problem is back. Htc support say to clear the data within the phone app. Also gives one or two calls relief then fail again.
Likewise factory reset, reported on telstra crowdsupport that this is only a temporary fix.
Htc support say they have had many hundreds of calls since Saturday, all htc one M7, all android 4.4.3, all Telstra AU customers.
Can anybody help?

HTC One M7 issue
My HTC One M7 is experiencing this issue reported recently for Telstra Australia users. How do you clear the data for the phone app?

To clear the data for the phone app (or any other except Google Play Services)...
Tap Settings
Tap Apps
Scroll right to the All tab
Scroll down until you find the app you want, or tap the magnifying glass and enter the name (e.g. "Phone")
Tap on the App name
Tap Clear Data
Done.
For Google Play Services, after tapping on the App name, tap the Manage Space button, then Clear All Data button.
Folks have recommended clearing data for Phone, Google Play Services, Google Play Store, Google Services Framework. These are all harmless (you might be re-asked for some permissions). But my testing shows that it is a temporary fix, likely because the Google apps reload the offending bug. I suspect we'll have to wait for a fix from HTC or Google.
Clearing Cache or data is often a good way to sort Android app problems, but bear in mind that any local data relating to the app will be lost, such as accounts/logons, media, high scores etc. so progress with caution and use your backups first.

Tactical fix:
Disable Google Services Framework.
Reboot
This will cause issues with Google Play Services (and possibly other applications), however it at least allows the phone to make/take calls.

Hello! Thanks for the reply.
I erased all sorts of data from Google Play Services but that did not work, and I was still unable to make any calls. Then i checked the recently updated apps and noticed that HTC Lock Screen had been updated. I removed the update and Voila! It worked! Still wondering what could have gone wrong because of a Lock Screen update!

I've tried everything in this thread. Nothing works.

Have you tried uninstalling the HTC Lock Screen updates then after doing that for good measure erase all data from Google Services as mentioned above and re-boot.

@yashodhan92
Yep, just tried that and its working now. Cheers.

HTC Lock Screen update looking like the cause...

Yashodhan, You might just be the genius of the week. :highfive:
I have uninstalled the HTC Lockscreen updates, and call sounds are back.
I did not have to clear any data from Google Services or take any other action to achieve it.
I then connected to the Play Store, and triggered My App updates, which previously was enough to re-break the call sound. So far, no problem. Call sound is still working.
We may have a winner (at least until the next HTC Firmware update, which might put the Lock Screen update back in, so remember this fix).
For less experience folks: detailed instructions are:
Tap Settings icon
Scroll down, Tap Apps
Scroll right to the All tab
Tap the magnifying glass button
Type "Lock" [no quotes]
Tap HTC Lock Screen
Tap Uninstall Updates
Agree to the reboot.
Done.
I will report back if the fix fails.

Where do you have uninstall?
when I go to HTC Lock screen i see:
Force stop, disable, clear data, clear cache, clear defaults
thanks

Hey all
I've been having the same issue on and off for a few weeks now.
I used to be able to fix it by just restarting, but as of today that wasn't working.
Clearing the data of Google Play Services and Google Services Framework have resolved it for me for now - but I suspect it will reoccur.
Like the post above, I don't have the option to uninstall HTC Lock Screen updates...
For reference, I'm running Viper One 7.0.1, and have tried 3 different Kernels (Elemental, Kangaroo and Stock).
Thanks
Paul

I will try to install Viper without sense...but hate that I will be not able to use Blink Feed

Seems I didn't have the HTC Lockscreen update installed - which is why I didn't have the uninstall option.
I've installed, the update, had the issue, uninstalled the update, and still have the issue.
The only way I'm getting the calls to work is by clearing the data from Google Play Services and Google Services Framework - even then, I'm only able to make 1 call (testing out by calling Voicemail), and then it will stop working again.
I've also installed an app freezer, and frozen the HTC Lockscreen - but this hasn't worked either.

Have you tried freezing the app using Titanium Backup PRO? That worked for me.

z3c wont install apps

Well this is smth new. I have just bought my new z3c and its working all fine. Im installing apps no prblm, until suddenly the phone won't install anymore! The page to install the app comes up and the cancel button works but the install button doesnt click!!
I can only think to blame AVg bcuz I had activated it just before this prblm happened. And there is no.deactivate option on AVG.
UPDATE: restarted phone and killed AVg; prblm still exists

Anyone?
Please?

Reset the phone while saving your data

Does it happen on Wi-Fi, mobile data, or both?

Yes, the only solution I came to was to reset the phone. Not the best option since I had to do everything I had before again. Anyways, it's okay now.

I don't think that would be relevant to the problem. The problem is in parsing the apk.

I once found that if I limit background data on an app called "Media" (in settings, data usage), I could not download any apps over mobile data from Google Play as long as the background data of that app was limited. It may not have been the case for the OP but who knows?

The problem is back again!
The problem is back again!!
And Sony doesn't even have online support and it's page doesn't even address the problem.

Nope. The only solution I found was to be patient and wait. After a couple of hours, or a day or two I try pressing the Install button once again and it works. I just let it off my mind for some time until the night, or the next (couple of) day(s). Interestingly, this isn't a problem if I'm installing directly from Google Play which installs the app itself. That's why I think it could be a security module or something.

I have screen filter, but I reckon this problem existed from before installing screen filter. Plus, I reset my phone once which also means deleting Screen Filter, but the problem still exists.

Some apps interferes with the installation process, like LUX, or some screen filtering app.

Uninstall updates to google playstore app. The reason it worked when you reset your phone was it reset all apps back to their factory settings. Then apps would install until google play updated itself again. So try just uninstalling updates to google play, worked for me. Good luck!

Blank Emails

Can someone please advise how I can restore my emails. At the moment whenever I open an email it is blank. I tried a few tricks like switching Developer Oltions on and off, clear or delete cahe of email app. I 3ven tried deleting chrome and reinstall email app. I have a note 9.
Thank you in advance.

What email app are you using? I assume you are properly logged in? How far back do you have the app syncing emails?

Sir, again thank you for your response. The app which I'm using is Aquamail and I actually had to reinstall the to answer your question on how far back I'm syncing. All I can say it's very far. Total of almost 6000 emails but the other app us doing the same. I know it has nothing to do with the app itself more about something on the system. It happened to me before but I simply can't recall what I did to fix it. I was thinking of reinstalling the Rom however I'm sitting with another dilemma. My OEM disappeared with my last installment of the Lightroom. It's been over 7 days and it never reappeared. I'm not so sure of taking the chance of reinstalling the Rom which I feel is very necessary at this moment because most of my apps if not all of it crashes whenever I open it
Thanks

Try wiping the Cache Partition in Recovery Mode. If that doesn't work back up your device and perform a Hard Factory Reset.
