[Q] My dx won't recieve picture messages

Hello everyone,
As you can see my dx won't recieve picture messages. I am a rooted user and have done lots of research and it mainly leads to the fact that I deleted stock messaging. Supposedly the stock messaging controls the mms receiving. My friends wil send pictures and I won't eveb know until the next day when they ask if I got them. So my question is does anybody know why? And if it is from the fact yhat I deleted stock text, can someone please post it on here so I can dl it and recieve mms again.i

for some reason they take a lil while to come in . but they eventually do. Did you press down on the message and select download ?

Check if you can send the mms's if not you gotta sbf...same thing happened to me

I am pretty sure the blur sms/mms is needed for pics....unless using aosp sms/mms. Though I could be mistaken.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

I'm thinking since I deleted the stock messaging apk that is why I can't recieve them. I don't even have the option to long click and stuff. They never come to my phone. As tho it had never been sent but my friends have showed me where they sent them and it never showed up on phone. I am currently looking for updated stock messaging apk file so i can try and dl it and figure out if that was my prob

somtime sthe rooted rom has problems with mms, try using a differnt texting app like Handcent sms which allows you to customize and activate your mms. or it could be your baseband.

I've tried both chomp and handcent and no luck. Now ive found the deodexed messaging apk for my version and when I go to install thru root explorer it says "application not installed". I've copied to system/app folder. Mounted. Changed permissions annd still no luck. Anyone know wutttt else I have to do to reinstall this apk? Please help

After you put it in system/app/ and change permissions you gotta reboot (not try to "install" it).

Ok I jus put in...changed to rw r r and I rebooted. Now wut? I still cannot send or recieve the pictures? Do i need to apply a deodexed Messaging.apk intot the system/app folder? And after dropping it in there all I do is unmount and reboot...right? That is what u are saying isn't it?

Titanium Backup help

Hey guys i need some help, i want to install a fresh rom and just want to restore my Texts(sms) and contacts, any idea how to ? i try restoring SMS but it never comes back, but if i do the whole restore, i get my texts back
Thanks, BTW i got the pro Version

The trick is to find the CORRECT file(s) to restore. For example, I use Handcent for SMS. So I restore the Handcent app & data and then all of my SMS comes back.
Note: in order for you to see your contacts after restoring them, you need to reboot. (At least I do!)

Have you tried restoring the mms.apk data? I know you need that file to send sms so maybe they are stored there. If you type contacts into the edit field it should bring it 3 or 4 .com options restore data in the first or second one and reboot and your contacts should be there,j just did on my girlfriends transform but cant remember which one I restored get contacts with.
For the future it is easier to export your contacts to your sd card and download gosms to backup your sms

I'll try that and let's hope it's the right file.

Recent logs question

Is there any way to get the logs tab to show just phone calls? I know I can filter with incoming, outgoing and missed but can I have all 3 at the same time. I have no idea why they thought putting messages in the logs section was a good idea....thats what I have my messages icon for....

nothin, no one??

Remove SMS and MMS from call log.
Seriously, is there a fix to remove sms and mms from the call log?
I know the custom roms have found a way to remove it,
but Im not ready to take the plunge on one of the custom ROMS's on this phone just yet.
My Samsung Epic did the same thing, and there was a fix for it posted on XDA... Thanks k0nane.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1011678.html
Ill dig into that fix tonight, and see if I can find a way to fix the infuse...
Why cant Sammy just roll it out working...

While on the "Logs" screen, touch the menu button on the bottom left, and choose "View by". The default is "All logs", but if you choose Missed Calls, Dialed Calls, etc, it will only show the calls, and not your text messages. (I apologize if this is what you were already talking about when you mentioned filtering via incoming, outgoing and missed).
I'm running on the Infused ROM, so I'm not sure if this is just a feature for the ROM itself.

SOLUTION - Will Confirm after I try tonight... Thanks h8rift and gtg465x

Your thoughts were correct. Move the Refuse LogsProvider.apk to a stock ROM and it will work.
Hello,
I am running the stock rom on my girlfriends Infuse 4G. (she is not quite ready for a custom ROM yet, this is her first Android phone.) I want to fix the sms and mms logs in the call log, and had the same problem on my Epic 4G. To fix, we modified the Logprovider.apk in the system file.
I am downloading the Refuse rom now, and was wondering if I extract that file, and root explorer to the correct location in the stock rom, and overwrite the stock logs provider.apk, if you think that would work.
I have her rooted, modified 3e recovery, and clockwork installed...
I know others in the forum were looking to fix this on the stock ROM.
Please let me know if you think this could work, if not, could you modify the stock logprovider.apk to not include the sms and mms in call log.
I really appreciate your help... If you can help! I wont hesitate to give you credit for the fix in our forum posts.
Thanks Again!

SOLVED - Call Log - MMS/SMS Deleted on STOCK ROM Thanks h8rift
Ok, I got the SMS and MMS to not show up in the Call log... Running UCKE3 Stock Froyo ROM.
Its pretty simple, even a noob can do it... Thanks for the file h8rift
*Must be rooted, with root explorer or other file explorer that allows system access installed. ALWAYS BACKUP BEFORE CHANGING SYSTEM FILES, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED PHONES, OR LOST DATA.
Download attached Logsprovider.apk (taken from the Refuse v1.6 ROM)
copy file, and place on the root of your SD Card.
place sd back in phone, and boot phone.
when fully booted go to root explorer, navigate to the External SD Card and copy the Logsprovider.apk file that you just copied to there.
mount system as r/w so you have read and write access.
press back, back, go to system then app and paste the Logsprovider.apk file
yes to overwrite the logsprovider.apk already on phone,
VERY Important, also delete Logsprovider.odex while in the same folder.
reboot the phone, and enjoy NO SMS or MMS in your call log.

I am usingSamsung Galaxy Y pro Duos. GT 5512.
To install Whatsapp+ I had to uninstall whatsapp. I am not able to install Whatsapp+ (and Yes I am installing GB variant of Whatsapp+). It shows "Application not installed".
Now when I have installed original Whatsapp. I am asked to restore from the backup. When I tap on restore, it Crashes at 84% and shows a error. I don't want to lose the backup.
PS1: I have managed to solve the crashing problem' see the solution in the posts down.
PS2: I am still unable to get Whatsapp+ installed. It says "Application not Installed. Can anybody help in this regard?

It's advised to restore to the same backed-up version of Whatsapp

Try to uninstall Whatsapp & install once again, or if you prefer to check older versions: http://whatsapp-messenger.en.uptodown.com/android/old
It it doesn't help- leave only the latest backup file + 'msgstire.db.crypt' in the 'Database' folder of whatsapp. Other option is to check if you got
several whatsapp folders stored in device's external/internal storage, and leaving the newest one

Hi,
This issue is interesting and I have been looking for options, so you can solve your problem. If the problem is the version, as sasan_blue says, you can go to the Aptoide web, and search the old versions of whatsapp there. I was able of download different versions of whatsapp on my PC from that web.
I can't paste urls...
EDITED: Sorry, I was writing this thread while amirTor gives his answer. The English is not my language mother and take long to write. I think is best the amirTor solution.
Saludos

Thanks Guys. I got it solved by completely uninstalling whatsapp using Titanium backup app, and installing it again. It was a problem of incomplete uninstallation. (I had rebooted the device before the uninstall process finished). The problem persisted because I have been uninstalling using regular method. Also it was not a problem of a corrupted backup in my case( as I had thought).

PS. I had installed an older version too. It asked me to check my date settings. it didn't peroceed any further. I guess it was becoz of the outdated version.

HI, i have installed and rstored whatsapp a million times or so, when flashing and switching between roms. last night i tried something funny, and it cost me tooo much.
I tried to install whatsapp for another number(my phone is dual sim), while sms verification was happening, it got registered via my previously registered whatsapp no. Now even after i deleted the new no. account,i am still not able to get my old account back. when i give my old number, it doesn ask for sms verification, and goes to local backup directly, but fails there and throws error. on the other hand, i can verify the account, but cannot restore all my messages.
Please help, as my msgs are quite important..!
il hit the thanks button..!

You can solve this problem by registering your new number again and restoring your old number's chats.
Once you are able to restore your old number's chat by registering on the new number. You can now change the number officially by using the 'change number' feature in the WA settings.
See if this trick works for you.
Good luck.

Hey thanks for the response,
Things arent way the its supposed to...even if im trying to sign up using another account, still the verification is not being done and whern restoring is trying to happen, it force closes or shows a message that it cannot restore msgs in the server
if u know any solution please let me know, its pretty annoying without whatsapp for a week and i need those old messages..its pretty important.
I have done flashing roms a 100 times and never faced this issues, and now it aint going at all..

Ok. copy the backup database some where safe.
Delete your new number account ( from within the WA account settings)
Remove the WA using titanium backup. (you need to be rooted for TB to work)
Reinstall the WA.
See if you are able to register your new number.

Use WhatsApp recovery app to restore you account information, the tool is available free of cost.

If no chats are being restored while reinstalling Whatsapp and you want to restore from a local backup... Try to uninstall and reinstall Whatapp and simply take a local backup of the empty chats and copy the entire filename (Ex: msgstore.db.crypt12) and delete this backup file.. Now paste the backup file from where you want to restore the chats in the Whatsapp databases folder and rename it with the name that was copied from latest backup file (msgstore.db.crypt12).
Clear WhatsApp data (from Settings -> Apps-> WhatsApp-> Clear Data). When you launch Whatsapp now, it will prompt again for the verification details etc. Skip the google drive step and Whatsapp will restore all your chats from your desired local backup. But please make sure you have lot of free space on your device. I cleared about 3gb of data from device memory in order to get this working.
It worked for me when I finally was about to give up after trying for 3 days..

Your GoSMS backup message files should probably be on your SD card or within your Main Storage files in GOSMS > backup > localbr. Please check your device for the GoSMS folder. The app's backup feature usually stores sms' in there.
