New messages mix up after restore - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know if this is the issue with the backup app, or the phone / contacts app, or even the carrier, but it never happened before.
I'm using SMS Backup & Restore app, and after factory reset, I've restored my messages.
It was all restored fine, and I believe the time stamps were all ok since messages were in correct order.
However, new messages I received after the restore were just randomly merged into a completely different conversation with a different contact.
Has anyone ever had problems like this, and how to solve it?

Same, every time

I'm having that also without even any sms backup/restore app. Could be because I'm using multirom.
Glad I'm not alone though

I don't have this problem any more.
It must have been either the android software version (since I was on dev preview) or the app version, but it's fixed nonetheless.

gmail won't sync

as the title says, i can receive but i can't send, and the receiving is intermittent. when i delete an email, it doesn't show deleted on the gmail app (where it shows the unread count in the header of the app, not talking about the notification bar here)...
if i delete an app or read it on my phone, it still shows unread and in the inbox of my gmail online. it's been happening since yesterday. i've done a factory reset, i've loaded recovery, at first i thought it was due to an app update (happened right before the issue started), but even after a recovery without that app updated, and deleting all apps showing update available, still happening.
i wonder if this is related with the VZW 3G issues others have been having?
Did you recently update anything? I had a similar issue but after a day or two gmail finally syncd back up. It happened when I flashed to the leaked ota and again when I went to 2.2 otherwise I suggest updating the gmail apk.

Just rooted, no roms or kernels yet. Only update coulda been an app of some kind. But Idk if that's it based on it kept happening even after rolling back to a backup I made a few days before these updates. Maybe a gmail provisioning issue? All other data seems to work, although sometimes slower than normal.

Clear Data
Hi,
This happens to me all the time when I am jumping between roms and using nandroid alot. Try going into Manage Applications, find the Gmail app and then delete the Data and Clear Cache. Ignore the warning about losing stuff since everything is synced. Then go back and open gmail and give it a few minutes to sync back up and you should be good to go.
Hope this helps.
Ooz
Absolutely fixed it. Thanks so much!

Whats wrong with contacts, 351,

I was out in the middle of nowhere today and had to turn off data, restarted the phone cause it was acting funny. Added a contact and got a list to add it to the phone or account. I chose gmail contact.
Now my contacts seem to be sluggish. I notice it in texting, openning a conversation, the images flash like its lagging to load the contacts images.
Ive restarted a few times and its not fixing it. I send a text in a already going conversation and the contact images flash as though its reloading them, including mine in the "ME" contact
I get a text and the contact images flash, even mine
Something i just remember also. At one point today it seemed the contacts where lost and it only displayed phone numbers, including mine

Ok its not just me then! However, i had not noticed this happening before this out in the middle of nowhere issue today.
I did have a bit of issues getting my contacts to load from similar, after I first updated. I decide to clear all data from the contacts apparently, then just install all the contacts from googlemail. Now it all works fine.
How do you clear all data from contacts? I was thinking remove the account reboot and add the account again.

OK scratch that. I can't remove the account. It wont let me
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
I just went into phone settings then applications, then running apps then click on contacts and click clear data.
Screw it. I'm gonna reset tonight and redo the whole thing. Clearing that and resyncing did nothing. I just had a moment where I had no contact names listed in texting, just phone numbers. Just before I tried that clearing.

Will you let us know if a reset solves this? I am having the same issue.
Thanks

I reset 351 and just signed into google account, synced and still had the issue. Im back on 318 and looking for a way to disable the update notifacations for 351.
How big is your dialer storage under manage applications? If its over a couple mb's you need to go through your texts and delete the mms/pictures people have sent you. Mine got up to 20mb's at one point, phone was laggy as hell. If you don't care to retain Txt's you could just clear the dialer storage......

same prob here. this "improved" suxx0r big time!
Tried 354 and same problem. I don't understand why there aren't more complaints about this. Or maybe we are doing something wrong?

are you restoring your apps and whatever after update from titanium backup? I noticed the issue after updating from titanium backup, before i ran this just after i'd updated the contacts where working fine. But obviously I needed to update all my apps, after i'd ran the titanium restore it all went wrong. Maybe try restoring you contacts through titanium again see if that sorts it out?
I do not restore anything. I use appmonster pro to reinstall all of my apk's and sync to google for my contacts. The only thing i import is bookmarks for browser. I do all of the same stuff with 318 on 2 sets and they dont have the problems
streakmod 1.9 is very stable and is pretty quick with the perfmod on, maybe try that?
Oh really I think titanium backup is the best thing I've ever purchased on the market, would have been gutted if I'd lost all my angry birds high scores!
I face the same problem.
I think this started form the 2.2.2 version.

Deleting SMS/MMS Without Messaging App

So I used Titanium Backup to backup all of my SMS and MMS from my Atrix 4G and restore them onto my new Nexus 4. Now any time I try to open any messaging app, it freezes and/or force closes, and I have tried to use a couple different auto delete apps from the Play Store and they just force close as well. I am rooted and have CWM installed (which I foolishly didn't use to make a backup before restoring my messages, because I didn't think it would screw anything up). Is there any way to easily clear all of the messages from the system (a file or folder to delete using Root Explorer?) Or will I have to do a factory reset and reset everything up again?
Have you tried SMS backup and Restore yet? It'll let you delete messages.
It hasn't frozen yet, but it is taking forever (there are about 30,000 messages to delete, though...). Fingers crossed that it works, and here's a thanks, even if it doesn't!
Oh wow haha.. I'm not sure any messaging app will be able to handle that many

It worked just fine with Handcent on my Atrix. Never hiccuped a once, actually.
If you're not coming from a stock jellybean AOSP device I wouldn't do it through titanium. Not fully equipped to handle that. Use sms backup and restore from the play store.

[Q] CM11 - Messaging app crashes after TB restore. Can't send/receive SMS

Hi,
Just installed CM11 M6 snapshot last night. I had backed up everything from the old stock ROM using Titanium Backup PRO. I restored everything (including SMS/Call Log) overnight, and now whenever I'm trying to send an SMS, the Messaging app crashes. Even tried by setting Hangouts as the default app. No luck. Searched the web (and this forum) for help, but couldn't find any solution to it.
I think I might have sent an SMS before restoring everything via TB, and I definitely received one too. So the ROM didn't have a bug from the beginning but the TB PRO restore messed something up.
I've tried Clearing App Cache, Data and Force Stop, and then restart phone. Still nothing.
What to do? Please suggest a solution.
You backed up on store and restored on cm? They are different frameworks so restoring apps with data across frameworks like that Will cause problems.

Well, it did.
All the rest of the apps and data were successfully restored,even WiFi APs and other settings. Only SMS and Call Logs were causing problems. I did a factory reset and restored everything just like last time except Call Logs and SMS. And its working fine now.

Signing into Google account installs most if my apps, on my Facebook doesn't as I am on beta.versions.

Samsung Messages Bug? Can't switch to Google Messenger!

Hello all,
I'm having this really weird issue where after I recently wiped and freshly updated my Galaxy S7 Edge to Nougat, I started using Samsung's default messages app to see if I'd like it. Well long story short I decided to switch back to Google Messenger like I always do on every device I've owned, but when I install the app, and set it up. NONE of my SENT messages are imported to the app. Only the RECEIVED messages from my contacts. Every message I've sent to any and all of my contacts AND *some* messages received are just completely missing. I have no way of exporting the messages via the Samsung app to then import into google messenger, and I've tried using third-party apps and Samsung smart switch to backup the messages and then restore them, but they all only see and backup the received messages, and not the ones I sent.
This problem is only for the messages I've sent and received since the day I updated my phone and started using Samsung messages. Any conversations older than that, transfer successfully to google messenger.
I don't think Nougat or the update is the issue, but rather with something in samsung messages. I could really use some help! Thanks!

Anyone? I've had to post this in two separate places to no avail.
Same here but I'm trying to switch back to my Nexus 6p. I've had limited success with SMS Backup & Restore. Not all of the messages are pulled out of the stock Samsung messenger. It cannot transfer everything over. Did you ever find a solution?
