I am having the problem of my phone removing the area code on just one phone number when I text my friend, resulting in an invalid number error. I REALLLY don't want to factory reset my phone just for one stupid contact, but I text him fairly regularly and it is getting annoying. What I've noticed...
* Only happening on this one contact. I manually entered his phone number without the area code once, not realizing that it required an area code.
* I've created new contact for him with and without the 1 and +1 in front of the number.
* I've removed all traces of him from my call log and message logs and "history".
* From my contact list, if I swipe his name to the left to create a new message it doesn't show ERIC- <xxx-xxx-xxxx> like it does for other contacts, it just has the number sans area code.
I've searched and can't find any answers other than factory reset which is completely NOT what I want to do. If i have to do it I guess I'll have to do it but I'd prefer not to. Any ideas?
Also, how do I sync my contacts on the phone to my gmail account? Does anybody know if I root it and put something different on here if it'll stop the issue? I've got too many contacts to fit on my stupid SIM card so I can't do a reset at all until I find out how to sync my contacts.
Thanks
This is a known issue for original JF6 firmware. Are you still using the JF6 stock firmware? If so, update to JH7 may resolve it for you.

I am fairly new to the smarter than me phones.

I'm currently running the newest MightyROM, but this problem has been happening in the last few releases. After setting up my email accounts, eventually the accounts disappear from the accounts listing. The envelope icons are still on the mail screen, but nothing works. Is there to fix this without a hard reset?
I am using the 1/4 MightyRom and experiencing the exact same problem. I can't delete the invisible account or even make one to replace it. Any help?

Found out what the problem was. After flashing to the new ROM, do a clear storage to get rid of any old junk from the previous flash, then do the carrier provisioning before doing anything else. I haven't had a problem since taking those steps.
Same problem here
I have the same problem, want to be on the thread when someone comes up with a solution. Thanks
I done the task29, then ran sprint MR2, then installed BigMaxSense rom. Ran clear storage twice then I started to configure phone back the way I wanted it, but I still losing my email accounts. Any solutions
I have a stock verizon MR1 rom, and I have gotten this a few times. When it happens, I get a screen asking me to reenter my Activesync password. Then my POP account is gone. Still taking up space, but gone. I also lose my cookies with login passwords for all web sites.
Luckily I keep recent backups using Spite Backup, and I restores gets me going again.
Pretty odd.
This may or may not be related...
Original device: WM6.1/Sense2.1
Replacement device: WM6.5/Sense2.1
Backed-up email accounts using HTC backup. Without pre-creating the accounts in the new device, I restored the accounts from the backup. Sense and Titanium both show these accounts and I can access the emails that were restored, but I can't download new emails. I can't delete these accounts because they don't show up in the account selector screen. I had to create a new account (same information as before) with a new "name" to differentiate it from the previous account.
I can find no way to remove these non-listed accounts short of hard-resetting the device and removing the accounts from the list of files to be restored.
Is this related or am I just wasting everyones time?

That is actually expected.
I don't know the exact details, but there is a security feature that locks out the email database when the file is simply restored to new hardware like that. There may be some export/import way around it, but just moving the file won't work.
Not exactly related.
Hi:
After Froyo update my texts no longer send. To me, everything appears normal, sends normally etc, but the recipient never receives them. I am receiving sms normally though.
Any thoughts? I'm desperate to get this fixed.
Thanks so much!
EDIT: MMS seem to work fine, it is only standard sms which do not work.
Anybody? Any suggestions at all would REALLY be appreciated.
Thanks again!
thats weird, mine in ok after the update. but before I update to froyo, I factory data reset my phone. did u try it?

Check the message center number, I use the aosp mms.apk so im not sure how to do it on samsung mms.apk...att has a device tutorial on their website, might be able to use it and find out...I use to work tech for att and 99% of the time if you are able to receive but not send, its the msg center number...its something like +13123149810 ..if I remember correctly (might be wrong but check)
EDIT
here try this ... http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-center/solutionDisplay.jsp?solutionId=KB115194
EDIT 2
also make sure its not the recipients fault, (problem with their network..etc..try sending a sms to yourself, and try sending to different people on different networks) ..its probably the msg center number, but just to make sure...

My wife was having a similar problem after upgrading to Froyo, but only when sending to certain contacts. Not all. We ended up noticing that some of her contacts numbers looked like +xxx-xxxx. When we added a 1 after the plus (so +1-xxx-xxxx), it started sending correctly. Kinda weird, but it worked for us. So check your numbers and maybe either remove the + or add a 1 before the area code and see if that works.
You can try taking out your SIM card, putting it onto an older ATT phone. Send the it a message and make sure you receive it , send one as well. Then put the SIM card back into the other phone. This method worked for me when I had similair issues.
Take all parentheses and dashes out of the contact numbers - 8001234567
Trust me, it will work.
If all of that fails, swap the sim card with a friend. See if texting works with his sim card. I know it sounds weird, but my daughter had a similar problem with her samsung phone. It turned out to be the sim card.
Hi Everyone:
Thanks so much for your replies. Sadly none of them seemed to do the trick for me.
I am going to try a hard reset, since nothing else seems to work. I just haven't had time to re-install everything, so I haven't done it yet.
Thanks again!
PS: If that fails, is there a way to re-flash the froyo update from AT&T, I originally flashed through Keis mini, but it will not let me do it, since I am now up to date as far as it's concerned.
Hi Again:
I just discovered that sms do send if I use Handcent, or any other 3rd party software to send them.
Is there a was to re-install the stock messaging app only?
Thanks!
i have newer version of captivate with gps fixed but few days ago it stopped sending text message although it can still receive text messages.
normally after sending message, it usually displays time stamp under the text but when it does not work it just displays "sending" as status indefinitely.
phone is rooted and has gingerbread i believe.
I also called customer center service and they did not see any issue from the point of service provider.
Anyone has experienced the issue? Thanks,
I'd have them check again to make sure that text is setup right on your account.
Beyond that what have you changed recently. Typically something like texting wont just stop working on the phone without something having been changed.
Is the ROM that's on there one you flashed? If so back it up, reflash to a clean state and see if text works. Then restore a bit at a time and see when it fails.

somebody also had this problem and he did a factory reset and he was able to send messages again but he is saying that he has lost his root although it's not possible
here is the link to thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540652
DID factory reset and now can send message. but cant root it back. crappy phone. tried from both of my laptop and desktop machine using odin v1.81. problem never gets around captivate.
Do the heimdall flash of KK4 or Apex ROM. Same as stock, but with root and all the problems gone.
Hey,
I noticed that messaging apps (for example whatsapp) crashes whenever I open a conversation that has attachments in it. Or if in the last 20/30 lines is no attachment (picture for.example) but I try to open the contact windows where it shows the name, status and media it crashes while loading the media. I tried clearing the cache of whatsapp and the system media app. Tried clearing cache and dalvik. Tried scanning the media with some apps. I deleted the newest pics i received because i thought maybe they were corrupted. Nothing helped. This occured after updating to 30O.
PS: I'm not going to wipe/reset my phone because I don't have the time to restore everything after such a reset.

Unfortunately for you the next step would be a factory reset. But if you're not willing to do that I guess you'll have to live with it. Or completely wipe the whatsapp data and start fresh with the app.

I already thought that something went wrong when I updated to 30O so I just flashed the full ROM over my 25R with 30O OTA and now everything seems to work fine. Thank you for your efforts

"Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped."
I also had this problem. Kept getting this message when re-reading received messages, and, couldn't attach multimedia files. Found the answer from kspohn at an oneplus one forum. Thanks kspohn. It worked.
AT&T People without mms working here is the solution.
Call AT&T support. Go to wireless tech support when going through all the press # for (department name) mumbo jumbo.
Tell them you got a new phone and you need to activate mms on it by giving them IMEI number located on the packaging of your Oneplus One box particularly by the bar code sticker. This is like a SS for your specific phone
They will then ask you to power cycle the phone (turn it off for 10 sec) so call them originally with another phone.
They will then send a test mms to make sure it works. This only works for the global version of the phone so....... yea
Some At&T employees are aware of this phone... guy bro AT&T guy said it looked uber sweetles.
Anybody know what might be going on here? Ill explain. Also wanted to note that I never had a problem with this issue until about three weeks ago. basically my contact list has two or sometimes three numbers listed for each contact one for Google and one for Samsung and what I'm noticing is that some are formatted like this (985)***-**** and some are formatted like this +1985***-****. sometimes when I send a text message by just choosing from the list quickly I'll send a message that no one will ever receive and I know this because later I'll get a text from that person and a new text entry won't show up with that person's name and picture just like the previous one. I've actually had a three-week run where I didn't notice it and just thought somebody was ignoring me for three weeks. I tried one of those number formatting apps but it hasn't seemed to fix it. Anyone have any advice or ideas in this area? Thanks

You'd probably just have to delete them manually and check if your contacts are syncing duplicates because they are stored on the sim, Google , and Samsung .... I'd just disable sync from the quick tab notification bar.
