I had to wipe my data to fix this =[
all is well now but it sucks

quite a while ago, sporadically, when i would receive an MMS, it was time stamped from 1999....so it went to the beginning of the chat log (stock messaging app) and 3 days later i happened to stumble across the message. Hasnt happened since tho. and i havent heard anything of that before lol..

A data wipe in recovery mode did it for u?

i noticed this with MMS, i did a wipe and it fixed for a while, but there is a workaround that i have noticed...i used Handcent and when reading the text click menu-->more---> save MMS...and the missing MMS/pic is there but it wont show up in the conversation. I dont kno why its doing this but it just does...

[Q] Droid X duplicate text messages (NOT the usual duplicate issue)

I am getting two notifications for any text message that I recieve...
This is what I have tried...Renaming of conversation.apk to conversaTION.BAK
Freezing messaging 2.2.1 in titanium backup, freezing com.motorola.blur.home.message (by accident I deleted this, but I still get txt messages, will this hurt my mms?), and froze com.motorola.blur.conversations.
I still get text messages from both handcent and what I assume is the messages app built into the droid. The icon is a postcard icon with a stamp on the top right corner.
I've tried to delete handcent and see if that was the issue. No go. Reinstalled and still no go they are still there.
I can clear the message but it comes back everytime that I get a text.
I have disabled ALL notifications in both text message and messages app, and I still get it, from the respective apps (messages AND text messages)
This is where it gets hairy, I would say just to click on it and see where the icon takes you...Problem is that when pressing on the icon from pull down it goes nowhere, and I assume that is because I deleted that blur.hom.messages thing. It also says "you have 0 unread messages". IDK though I have searched through everywhere and tried everything but the right thing.
Any suggestions?
I sbf'ed the x this morning with 2.3.340, and the only thing I have done since that is root, installed apps from titanium, and overclocked via jRunny's app, and of course the above.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Are you using any apps that use a custom LED color? I've found that they usually put an icon in the status bar to do that, and they usually lead nowhere. It could also be another app. Just take a look around your app list and see what you can find.

No LED app...It was driving me nuts, so I decided to sbf again to get the message junk back I deleted. When the pc would not recogonize the droid I wiped and factory reset. I had no sms app and none would go through...I wondered after I got stuck on M if it would have worked if I installed handcent after the reboot???
I kept trying to sbf but no avail. Finally tried to flash a rom I downloaded yesterday I think Liberty 1.5...Ha made me stuck on M. Pulled batt and will wait till I get home to complete a sbf on this dang thing and start all over...I'll post on the text issue I was having to fill you in after the sbf..
Thanks,
BG
Thanks tho

for future reference...The problem was noted to Asurion, they shipped out another phone. I have rooted it and all but no custom roms yet...I have no idea what was causing this and neither does assurion.

I have seen this on my phone. Issue is I don't remember exactly how I fixed it. Do you have any of the following apps installed?

It has thus been resolved as I got a replacement phone from Asurion. So unless there is more need for this thread for others. My issue has been solved and this thread can be closed.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm having this same problem, I believe what happening is that both the old froyo messaging icon and the new gingerbread icon are displaying at the same time, I also believe this problem stems from titanium backup after restoring settings after I updated from froyo to gingerbread using an sbf... but I am still unsure, just curious if anyone has a solution?

use root explorer and delete the messaging app you don't want or you can turn off the notifications in the actually app

I too was having this problem when I was on a deodexed pre-rooted version on Gingerbread .605. However, now that I have flashed to Liberty V3 I haven't had that problem at all. I know this isn't much help but I have reinstalled all my previous apps and still don't have the problem.

[Fix] Voicemail Notification (CDMA)

Just thought I'd throw this out there for anyone who's not getting notifications for their carrier voicemail. This fix worked for me and was a little hard to find. It should work for all CDMA phones (the string is not present, nor is a similar string on my T-Mobile SGS3). I take no credit for the actual fix. Requires root (does that even need to be said?).
Possible fix:
There could be a string missing in a settings file, /data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs/com.android.phone_preferences.xml
<string name="vm_number_key_cdma">##########</string>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Where ########## is your 10 digit phone number.
If you just edit that file (make a back up if you want to be safe) and add the line above somewhere between the <map> </map> XML tags, replacing the ########## with your phone number (no dashes or parentheses), then reboot, you should be getting notifications again.
Check out the source for more info.

The file doesn't appear for me even if I leave a voicemail

Scratch that. I find the file but a reboot doesn't get the voice mail icon to come back. If I go into the file again it says there is a voice but no notification pops up.

Has anyone figured out this issue yet? I tried the suggested fix above but it doesn't work for me either. I'm running 4.2.2 Carbon ROM on a Samsung Fascinate and do not get any notifications when I have voicemails. I've searched around this forum and google as well and there isn't too much information on this issue. Some say it's a known issue in all recent 4.2.2 ROMs, some say it's in all AOSP-based ROMs, etc... Anyone out there know of a fix?

I have had the issue for as long as I can remember it seems, no matter the rom. Its to the point I expect it and/or just have learned to accept it. I don't get that many lately for it to be a huge huge deal besides the whole job hunting process lol Tried prolly most things things have popped up over time but no solid fixes. With messing around I can get it to pop up a few times and it is always delayed or random when it does and it will also stick in the status bar for a bit even after clearing any unread till it randomly goes away or I clear the responsible/corresponding system apk's data. and that be the most I ever see of it, a downfall i guess & either you deal with it or your don't I suppose. Your not alone brotha lol

Voicemail indicator worked in 4.1.x, but broke in 4.2.x. there is only one ROM - GEE-WIZ, where the dev actually figured out what was wrong and fixed it. It is now my daily driver, although I miss some of the AOKP features. None of the other developers have picked up the fix and implemented it in their ROMs. The voice mail indicator problem has to do with the code looking for a SIM card and not finding it. Eveyone else seems content with using google voice as a work around, I don't find that a good solution, except when I want a few laughs from bad transcriptions.

I just wanted to say that this actually sort of got notifications working for me again. I'm using a Droid Incredible 2 running PAC 4.2.2, and ever since upgrading to it, I would not receive voicemail notifications.
I made the appropriate change to the file, rebooted, left a voicemail in my box, rebooted again, and I had a notification saying that there was a message waiting!
The reason I say "sort of working" is because I didn't receive the notification while waiting directly after leaving the message. Normally, I'll receive a new voicemail notification within a minute of one being left. But, I suppose this is better than nothing.
If any new developments or fixes are found, please update this thread!

Its still broke. Voicemail notification has always come up after a reboot but that is of no use. This is not an improvement.

Hangouts SMS crash [solved]

Problem
-------------
Hangouts crashes trying to send SMS after 4.4.3 upgrade. 3rd Party apps do the same. As soon as you start typing hangouts crashes.
You disabled "Messaging" before the upgrade and can't re-enable it. "Enable" is grayed out in the Settings->Apps menu.
Solution
---------
In the Settings->apps menu - the 3 dots menu has a "Reset App Preferences" option. It re-enables ALL disabled apps. This will fix sending SMS/MMS. You can't have it disabled in 4.4.3 safely.

Anyone else noticing hangouts crashing whenever you try to type out an SMS? I can't seem to send them at all now. It crashes as soon as I start to type.
Happened right after 4.4.3 upgrade. I tried to clear hangouts data but to no avail.

Also it sounds just like this here: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/hangouts/4i6nKG-d2_M
But I don't have delivery reports and I can't enable messaging. It's disabled in settings->apps.

Sorry, can you move this to Q/A? My bad.

OK I found a fix. In the apps menu - the 3 dots menu has a "Reset App Preferences" option. It re-enables ALL disabled apps. Not ideal since I'll have to re-disable the others I don't want. But at least it gets messaging re-enabled.
That makes SMS work again oddly enough. Just need to deal with having a "messaging" app in the drawer that I don't use I guess.

Nice! Thanks for posting the fix, could come in handy for me once I switch to 4.4.3 as I have 68 services/apps frozen =P

I also had this issue. I factory reset, which is usually a decent idea after updates. It definitely had something to do with messaging being disabled and I couldn't reenable it either. Glad you found an alternate fix, loving the update so far

Yeah if I had been rooted and done titantium backup recently, that would have been my approach too. I didn't want to have to redo all my apps and settings etc. Glad I didn't have to.

I didn't use TiBu to restore. It's weird but this phone is the first that I don't really back things up like I used to. Mostly cause I have no risk of breaking stuff via flashing nightlies and the like. I've had iffy experiences restoring old data on to new builds so I started from scratch. So far so good.

Yeah I had this too. After the update, i could receive but not send SMS/MMS. Had the stock app previously disabled and then the enable button was gone. Drove me absolutely crazy last night and most of today. Tried half a dozen SMS apps and even downloaded two entire Roms to get their MMS.apk and try to install them (which did not work at all). Even deleted all my messages with an SMS backup app. Nada. Moto support (obviously bad idea) said to clear cache for entire phone, which totally could have worked but was completely unhelpful. I did dozens of Google searches about it and came up empty every time. I was just about to give in to a factory reset, which I consider the my last resort, and I checked the action overflow in the disabled apps section and found the "reset app preferences". Then just browsing XDA for battery tips a few minutes later, I came across then. I even checked the Dev section earlier. But I guess I should have checked general. Thanks for putting this out there for others to find.

Thanks for this solution. Made life better for me. I guess 4.4.3 doesn't allow us to disable the messaging app.

You are the man! I thought I was the only one having the problem. Thank you! :good:

me too. I can't believe it took me this long to find this thread. Not being able to send texts was a bummer. I was using some feature called "voicemal.":silly:

[Q] Lag during txt messaging

I have a stock S5 that I just bought. After a couple days I started noticing an extremely long delay when doing anything with text messages. I hit send and it just sits there. I can't hit back or anything. The home button will take me home. When sending I don't even see my message until everything returns. Anyone have any idea what may be causing this? TIA

Try clear data/cache and force stop for the app?

Thanks for the reply. I gave that a try with no luck. I cleared cache but afraid to clear data because it says it will permanently delete everything.

Clear data will clear all your messages and makes the app like its still new. Probably a corrupted message file or anything can affect its performance.

So it will delete my messages?
This seems to be a well known issue with the S5 although the suggestions don't seem to fix my problem. The solutions also say to clear cache and data on the Samsung keyboard.

Maybe power-saving mode? It kinda lags the mobile. Reduces performance of some stuff to lag to save some battery. Not sure tho

You can back up text messages, i would try that and clear data, see how it goes, if it does nothing then just restore the back up.

Power saving mode is off. I thought this was related to using the Samsung Smart Switch app to recover everything from my iPhone. So I deleted everything, cleared the cache and data from the message app and the Samsung keyboard app. No luck with that either. However, I did discover the AT&T app for messaging that came pre-loaded on the phone and remembered another article that suggested trying another default messaging app. So I did and that seems to work much better. I know it's not a fix, but at least it's a workaround I can live with. I actually like this app because I have text, call history, and my visual voicemail all in one app.
There are plenty of complaints around the internet about this "bug" so maybe it will be something that gets addressed in Lollipop next month.

Mine lags because of the amount of messages I have stored. Will try to clear cache, but I don't think it works

Well if you looking for a messaging app, google's messenger app is pretty good too!
