I recently changed from a rooted Droid 1 to rooted Droid 2 and used 'sms backup and restore' to move my texts to the new phone. After doing so I can no longer receive or send texts with either the stock app or chomp sms. I could send and receive before I restored the old messages.
The stock texting app sits at the load screen with a red circle spinning and never shows any of the old texts, while chomp sms lists all my old conversations and lets me type a text but after hitting 'send' it hangs.
I've tried uninstalling chomp and clearing the data/cache of the stock app with no success. Is there anything else I can try?

I'm having SMS issues. I know it's a problem on my end because they get sent, but I don't receive them. When I reflash my phone, they work. Then the messaging app starts acting up(I use ChompSMS) and suddenly I can't receive text messages. I'm running Liberty 1.5 if that helps.
Hi all,
I work with a guy who has a Droid 2 and every time he sends a text message, it shows a failed delivery icon in the notification bar and says "2 Text messages not sent." When clicked, it just takes him back to the inbox. However, the message that is sent does reach its recipient (my Dinc for testing purposes).
He is not rooted, and he's running the stock messaging app (for all intents and purposes, he does not "use" his Android the way we do, it's a work phone).
Any thoughts on why it's doing this?
EDIT: For what it's worth, he does not have any "drafts" in his Messages that could be causing this issue.
EDIT 2: This has been corrected. There were unsent messages that the stock messaging app was not showing. Upon downloading Handcent, said messages were made visible and were removed.
I'm on stock Android 4.4.4 with root. I'm using the native app for text messaging and lately is has become really slow. My suspicion is I have too many multimedia messages so I lowered the multimedia message limit to five per conversation. I have since rebooted the phone and been using it for hours, however, when I go into text conversations and scroll thru the messages, I can see that there are many more than five multimedia messages in each conversation. I have the "delete old messages" option checked so shouldn't any older multimedia messages be automatically deleted once the limit of five is reached?
Anyone else have the issue where older text messages are not being deleted? Particularly MMS.
I recently upgraded to Nougat Pure Nexus. Before I did, I made a backup of my SMS messages with Titanium Backup. When I had everything installed, I booted up and then restored my SMS messages. This took about 45 minutes. During that time, I had a friend send me a test text message. I never received the message. After the backup was done all of my messages were there but the one that was sent while I was restoring my messages never appeared in Textra or the default Google Messenger app. Is there any way to see if I missed other messages or get those back that I received while doing a restore? I think this may be due to the fact that Titanium set itself as the default SMS app when restoring messages but I would have thought that they would still come in anyway. Can anyone help me with this? I fear I missed important messages.
I'm on Verizon FYI.
EDIT: checked with Verizon. Nothing lost I don't know how to delete this thread.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S10 plus and I'm using the stock Samsung messaging app. I am now trying to switch to the Google SMS messages app. I have switched back and forth between these apps a very long time ago although I can't remember when the last time was that I did it.
Now when I enable the Google SMS messages app as default, all of my incoming texts show up but none of my outgoing texts are there although they are all still there in the Samsung SMS app. I have tried using two different backup programs and both seem to be only backing up my incoming messages. I have tried clearing the cache on the new SMS app. I tried using Textra and Handcent just to make sure it isn't specifically the Google Messages app. Same issue. I really would like to switch to the Google app but I cannot lose the text messages.
This is very clearly an issue with the stock Samsung SMS app, I'm just hoping there's some kind of work around. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Suggestions are appreciated
Which sms backup apps did you use?
I used SMS Backup and Restore, SMS Backup+ and Super Backup and Restore.
I use SMS Backup and Restore and have no problems backing up both outgoing and incoming messages. Did you check the backup files? When I view them, I see my outgoing texts as well as the incoming texts. When I switched to Google Messages from Samsung's on the S8, I had no issues with seeing my outgoing texts. When I upgraded to the S10+ and restored my texts from SMS Backup and Restore, it restored everything, not just incoming texts.
