updated to Oreo, old group text threads now split into 2 threads? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

I used Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD to flash to latest firmware G935AUCUBCTB1, Oreo. I was on older BRA1 version of Nougat. I used smart switch to save everything onto my computer first. flashed then restored data to phone. Now all my group text threads are split into 2 threads. One thread is my responses and the other thread is everyone elses responses. So 2 threads for every group thread. And the one with my texts has red exclamation point and says inactive. If click on it it says I have left discussion and it is closed. Can't type anything. The other thread I can use normally. But looking back at previous stuff is nearly impossible since all my old replies aren't there.
What I tried. settings/apps/messages/storage/clear cache and clear data. no effect. start in recovery and wipe data cache. no effect. On the new message app in the firmware, there is setting in multimedia texts about group texts. If checked, all new group texts are group. If unchecked, all group texts are sent as individual texts and replies are to me only. I tried deleting all texts and doing restore with this setting in both options but it didn't matter as old group texts split. samsung was no help. This is stock ROM obtained on these forums.

Can't send or receive SMS after installing OOS 3.1.0

I recently switched from AOSPA after not being particularly impressed and went back to oxygen. However, after attempting to send a message I was unable to send one and noticed that I also am unable to receive. Phone calls and cellular data seems to work perfectly. I have flashed the proper firmware and reflashed the OS several times, but for no avail. I've also tried to clear cache l, but still no luck. I haven't been able to test the SIM card on another phone yet, but as the problem started as I switched OS I doubt that the problem lies there.
Some weird things I've noticed:
- Both Facebook and Google Messenger refuse to even attempt at sending a message, whereas textra pretends nothing is wrong
- In gsam battery monitor the phone line is greyed out
- Right after boot a message saying there is no service appears, but disappears fairly quickly.
Thanks in advance!
And this is after clean flash? Also without trying to restore any data using Titanium backup or other?
Clean flash, but I did use titanium backup. Guess that could be the cause. Seems like I'll have to do another clean flash anyway.

Google Messenger acting up after Backup and Restore with TWRP 3.0.2-2

So I looked everywhere but I can't seem to find an answer. My Google searches take me to iPhone threads.
I wanted to update my N6P with the new October security patch so before attempting to flash the OTA I made a nandroid with twrp 3.0.2-2. After flashing the new OTA I was having trouble with updating apps through Play Store. I tried to find the problem to no avail until I remembered installing one of those ToolBox Apps to manage my startup apps. I figured that could be it so I got rid of it. It seem to work afterwards but since I had reset some other system apps before this, it wasn't working well, very laggy so I decided to restore my Backup via twrp.
The issue:
After restoring Backup via twrp 3.0.2-2, everything seemed normal until I received a text message this morning. The problem basically is that I can send texts find to anyone of my contacts but whenever they respond, the phone shows the message through another contacts phone number / text thread.
If I am texting for instance Adam and he responds, I receive his text in John's text thread... I don't know what could possibly fix this. Can someone give me guidance on how to pinpoint the problem and or a fix?
thanks so much
Sorry about blabbering so much I assumed a detail description would help the helper..
Just clear the app data on the application. You'll lose all your old texts though. I'm not sure what causes this but it happens to me too

Lost SMS MMS Flashfire

I recently did a full backup with Flashfire Pro due to needing to return to stock. I usually use SMS backup though this time I thought my messages would be in this full backup.
After Getting up and running with the new OTA, I did a restore of userdata, cache, and internal storage. Everything came back fine except there were no mms or sms. Call history and everything was up to date. I finally had to restore my SMS backup that was over a month old.
Is there something else I should have restored? I still have the full backup and I would appreciate advice on getting my months worth of texts back.
Nexus 6P
Project Fi
7.1.1 Security patch level 1/5/17
FlashFire Pro v.0.53
I realize this is in Nexus 6 section . . .
I would like to ask the same question:
Did a full FlashFire backup of my Samsung sm-g930v (Verizon variant Galaxy s7). Everything including all my wifi ssid`s & passwords, all personal app data including logins, etc were saved. I actually saved the backup file to the sd card, rooted & installed flashfire on another sm-g930v (same build,G930VVRU4BQG1), & it was like it was the same exact phone:good:
All except no sms/mms restoration, The call logs were there right up to the very last one.
Also I noticed during the restoration process, after the md5 hashes were verified, while the data was being written, several red lines of logging appeared on the phone`s screen, then it continued, finished, & rebooted.

Nougat roms instantly auto-deleting texts in Messaging following TWRP restore

I currently have 2 backups in TWRP, the first from a couple weeks ago of a CM14.1 installation, and the 2nd I just made today prior to updating my current AICP nightly build.
A while ago I restored the CM backup and remembered I hadn't backed up my texts from that period, so I download SMS Backup & Restore and go into Messaging just to check that the correct messages were there. Sure enough they were, and at a glance I could tell the contents of the first few conversations were definitely from a couple weeks ago when I had them, but I could only see for a split second because immediately upon opening the messaging app, all conversations flew up the screen and disappeared over the span of about a second as if they were being deleted spontaneously before displaying the "Once you start a new conversation, you'll see it listed here" empty inbox background.
I didn't know why but I didn't care at the time so I left it for another day. Well that day is today, as right after I made my backup before updating the AICP nightly I saw the old one and thought hey I'll try grabbing those old texts again. Same thing happened so I restored back to today's backup and rebooted, went into messaging, and the same exact thing happened, albeit I was able to see that the conversations were indeed from recently, up to earlier today, before they all disappeared.
WTF? I installed a couple other 3rd party messaging apps just to see if the SMS content was still in the database and the stock app was just messing up, but they showed empty inboxes as well. Weird thing is if I restore from the nandroid backup again, I'll reboot and sure as sh*t, there the messages are once again, for a sweet split second before whoosh, they're gone! Does anyone know why it does that? Is this a nougat thing or has anyone experienced this on earlier android versions as well? I don't care about the backup, I just want to archive my old messages, but they nuke themselves as soon as I boot into a restore.
Oh if it helps, it seems upon restoring, the adopted SD card storage is wiped as well, so apps that were previously on the SD card show a dead white link on my home screen. The portable storage section of the card is just fine though (I did the fastboot trick where you split the adopted storage 50/50 between internal and portable storage)
I've noticed the same thing. It is not just you. SMS database doesn't survive TWRP restores on N roms.
I've got another phone that would give endless "Phone has stopped" FC messages upon a TWRP restore when it was first brought up to 7.1. It needed a fix in the roms to get TWRP backups to work right with it. Just a wild guess, but could be something similar at work here.

How we can say anything with so little information?
Provide more information about your setup (rooted, any modifications, etc.)
Is it latest version of whatsapp ?
When it started to happen ? (After doing something, installed anything ? )
Is there any parallel activity running when crashes ?
You said it crashes 5-6 times, so does it work fine for other times ?
Detail are the important key to solve the problem as every phone is unique in its own solution may or may not work.
Also after hearing you ill suggest dont use backup files and start a fresh whatsapp.
I assume you don't have root(as you are backing up using cloud and this is also my assumption as you didn't mentioned any type of backup).
So dont use backup just start a fresh whatsapp and see if it still persists.

It seems other apps are crashing too?
In such situation, factory reset is better to do.
before proceeding, take backup of your stuff (photos, videos, everything from internal storage, it will also erase every app's data )
If you want whatsapp backup, take it also from internal storage (keep latest one only, from /whatsapp/database/ , remove olders.) Put it back as it is after factory reset, then see what happens.
No other apps are crashing... But, yes i will factory reset and see if the problem gets cleared....
.
Thanks for the quick response...
@sandzredz
I see your problem and after a little bit of search. Use your backup to backup chats only and nothing else. Clear data of whatsapp. Start and see if it is still there.
Or
Do the same things and dont restore backup at start. Just let app runs then from setting restore the backup.
CAN ANYBODY HELP...
My phone is samsung galaxy tab 2 P3100 is rooted and i am using slim rom unofficial 6.01 build 2.5 by andi(hope enough info or should i give more) and i have TWRP recovery. have formatted my phone and flashed 2 ROms slim rom 6.0 build 2.1 stable and the present one. (whatsapp problem is same on both)
i started using original whatsapp on my tab which was unrooted using android 4.5...never had issues with orginal whatsapp .started using gb whatsapp from FOdmods, and had issues..every time after a week my whatsapp was crashing n i was getting a message of "backup data corrupted" and asked me to restore. i restored and as such lost chats of the day as the backup from 2am was restored.
I rooted my phone and installed whatsapp again but again the same issues.
trying other fods namely FMWATSAPP, FOUDMODSWHATSAPP,WHATSAPP,FOUDWHATSAPP AND YOWHATSAPP(all old and the latest vesrions too). HAD ISSUES on all of them namely.. in v5.90 GBwhatsapp(and all previous versions) the backup data is getting corrupted and evry week had to restore the data back and looisng loosing chats and data.
in other mods, suddenly the app used to go in a loop for more then 24 hours and kept on swicthing on to the app main screen and as such i couldnt use whatsapp for 24 hours. it would remain fine for 2-4 hours or sometime 12 hours and the problem started all over gain.
reverted back to orginal whatsapp and it has the same "chat backup getting corrupt" issue. can u please help me what may b the problem
Note-not an issue if not answered but wanted to bring to your notice.
in original whatsapp the goggle account associated with the phone is being shown and the data is getting backupped on to the gmail account associated. in gb whatsapp and all other mods it is just showing the gmail account but is not allowing u to backup ur data on gmail. the error message i get is please check ur wifi or phone network inspite of my internet working perfectly fine.
@vivlbo12 maybe you didn't see it, but that's a moto g4 plus forum and not a general help thread for whatsapp. So please ask your question in a device specific help thread.
DUDE I SAW DAT n this is my same problem in a 3rd thread. i blv ths problem is not phone specific or android specific....coz i have given all details mentioning the rom version yep my phone is same. moreover the same issue i have seen in another thread , so the total comes to 3 different phone modesl..different android versions. i believe the problem seems to b wth some small bug or some wrong installation. or some thing i have been doing causing this problem.hope u c my point.thanks again
