Text messaging is laggy & older messages not being deleted - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Threaded texting - is there a limit? Msgs not appearing for some contacts

Basically, I have all text messages from my girlfriend and friends since Oct. They are threaded and everything was fine until last week. My girlfriend's texts seem to have "disappeared" and the threading seems to have started from scratch. Only the recent msgs from last week appear in there.
I know the messages are still in the phone because if I turn off threading, I can see all past messages to/from my gf.
Does anyone know what's the deal with this?
Did I hit a limit or something with the number of messages in the threading?

SMS Messages Problem. Not showing up in people tab/htc messaging app

I seem to have a problem where for a number of contacts (well, a lot of them) the messages don't show up in the htc messaging app...
For example when opening the message from the sense message tab it takes me to that contacts messages but it remains empty. The nr of messages doesn't seem to matter...
When viewing 'All messages' the messages are in there...
I have had this issue with multiple roms, now running topix 0.2, and always restore the messages using pimbackup.
Anyone with similar experiences or any tips/tricks?
So it's not a matter of lag, it's a matter of not showing at all

[Q] Odd SMS Behavior

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.

messaging app not deleting over-limit messages

So I use handcent and I recently noticed that none of my text messages are being deleted when the limit is reached. I currently have it set (on the stock messaging app) to delete texts over 100... but in one conversation I have over 1000, and a few others are close behind. This is obviously lagging up my texts and I want to know if there's a way I can fix this little annoyance.
Any suggestions?

Long SMS not turning into MMS?

I have to send long messages occasionally and I'd prefer for the message to send as a single MMS, rather than 4-10 SMS. Previously, my messaging app converted long messages automatically, but that hasn't been happening as of late.
I'm using PA 3.95 and a blacked out messaging app which I believe was pulled from CM10. The app version states 4.2.2-eng.mike.20130224.223649.
I can't recall any setting that would toggle the conversion on/off, but any help would be appreciated. I grew tired of Go, Chomp, Handcent, Sliding, etc. Too many updates, too many issues, too much bloat. I just want the stability and compatibility of the stock messaging app (well, the CM one).
I realized that you can go force an MMS by choosing "Add subject" while in a conversation.
