In the Gmail app on Android, I noticed that there is a weird problem when viewing threaded conversations/emails.
The problem is that I see multiple "read messages." All of those messages are usually duplicates of my reply to the conversation. For example, within the read messages, I see multiple messages of my replies; some usually incomplete emails of the final resulting reply.
I was wondering if everyone else was having the same problem or whether this was normal.
Thanks.
No one else has this problem?

Hi!
Since a couple of versions back Facebook is not updating what i write at once, and when i get a notify i can't see the answer when i am entering the facebook app just in the notify is it readable.
Am i alone at having this problem?
Sign out and back in, or reinstall the app.

I've done the following in the past to resolve issues. The facebook app sometimes acts kinda screwy for whatever reason.
menu>settings>applications>facebook>clear data
thanks both, will try the log out first and then clear data...
I've have now tried both ways but still the problem remains.
I have noticed that my stock message app is slow to update after sending a message or once I have received one it take a couple of secs for it to show at the top. After I had installed my current rom and my messages were empty it was fine and really quick, but after restoring my 10K of texts its back to a go slow. Any tips (apart from deleting them all) to get the speed back?
Try different sms app?
Any suggestions?
I'm having the same problem here. I tried to solve it by limiting the number of texts per thread to 200 through the settings of the messaging app, but my phone seems to ignore the setting altogether. Is anyone else having this particular problem? Any suggestions on how to fix it? I've tried to delete and restore everything numerous times, to no avail.

i dont think its ignoring it. do you have mms messages in your thread as well? cuz mine is set to 200 cap but some are 201, 203, etc due to mms messages being count separately from the 200. you can cap the # of stored mms messages as well. mine is at 20 which is prolly why 200 isnt the official cap
I have some MMS messages, but one of my conversation threads is showing 3677 messages. Go figure.
I know you don't want to delete them, but somewhere in your phone is a database storing 10,000 messages. Personally, I fail to remember all the things I need to do on any given day. I'd give the phone a break and delete them. Just use an SMS backup app that saves them to your Gmail, and you're set.

Try running the Database Optimizer in SD Maid
Hmm so I downloaded 8sms as I thought it might be a suitable replacement. It looked great, just like the stock messaging app. Made it default. Came back and I just got a blank white screen that says "Loading conversations.". Rebooted and it looked fine. Then opened it a second time and again lost my conversations. Switched back to Hangouts and my messages were still missing after a reboot. Opened 8sms again and my threads were there, went back to Hangouts and my threads were there.
Switch back to 8sms and I get a notification for 8305 new messages. Opened the notification and it's again "Loading conversations".
Something very strange is going on with the 3rd party functionality in KitKat. In logcat I get messages like:
"The connection pool for database '/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db' has been unable to grant a connection to thread (###) (Binder_#) with flags 0x# for 150.003 seconds" where the #s are a bit different with each entry.
Running pure stock rooted here. Any thoughts? I know that there is some sort of database transfer when switching in and out of Hangouts, but this is really disconcerting.
Given this instability, I guess I will be back to Hangouts for now until I can figure out what will work consistently.
Any thoughts on this, anyone?

Hi,
Could you please check your mms settings are correct?
http://8s.ms/mms-settings
It shouldn't be related, but I've heard from other users of weird phone behaviour when this is not configured correctly.
You might also want to try an uninstall-and-reinstall as well. There are a few reports of phones also behaving strangely which then fix themselves after a second install.
Other than that ...
"The connection pool for database '/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db'

That sounds like an Android problem.
That's the database which stores the sms and mms messages. You can think of it as a "server" and 8sms (and Hangouts) are just clients to the server.
Hence, the database is managed by Android, not by 8sms (nor Hangouts) which is why I think this is an Android problem .

There is no "database transfer". Both apps read from the same database, but only one (the default sms app) is allowed to write to it.
When the default sms app is changed, no data copying takes place, it's just a change of a simple string setting (to remember which is the default sms app and is allowed to write to the databse), and is instantaneous.
Hence again, this is why I think it's an Android problem.
Perhaps you have file system corruption or a problem with your Nexus 5?
Thanks, yes my MMS settings are correct. I would be surprised to see any corruption as I only just got this phone Friday. Anyways I haven't had any problems keeping it set to Hangouts.

Well, please try the reinstall I suggested above.
Then, another suggestion ... what about you force stop both apps (8sms and Hangouts) before you change the default sms app (via the Android settings)?
Perhaps in your previous switch, Hangouts was still writing data to the messages database?
(Just a random wild guess)
didnt they change how sms/mms worked in 4.4.
I think the app needs to be updated for it to be compatible no? correct me if im wrong, probably i am.

Yes, but 8sms has already been updated to work in 4.4, and there are lots of instances of it working on other Nexus 5 phones.

OK: Tried uninstalling/reinstalling 8sms. Then force closed Hangouts and 8sms each. Then changed default sms app via Android settings.
Then launched 8sms. Everything looked fine. Then opened a conversation and everything was blank. Backed out to the conversation list and got "Loading conversations" again.
I have taken a logcat filtered for anything mentioning sms. Removed identifying phone numbers from it. I have attached it here, starting with the time when 8sms is reinstalled. You can see at 01:47:05.776 the SMS app is switched to Messaging (8sms). At time 01:47:52.886 the first SQLiteConnectionPool error message appears. The messages appear every 30 seconds.
Oh! Interesting. After 10 minutes (01:57:23.016) the last error message is seen. Two seconds later we see an "onQueryComplete finished" message from 8sms. From this point on I was able to open 8sms and see my messages again.
So for a span of 10 minutes, something went on that was locking me completely out of seeing messages, and then it stopped and everything worked. I rebooted to see one more time if it was still working, and yes it does. Perhaps in order to reproduce this error you need to have a big pile of messages already present. Obviously not a lot of Nexus 5 users have this because they just got their phones, but I do because I restored a large archive of messages from my last device.
Hi,
I recognise the query "UPDATE sms SET seen=? WHERE seen=0". It's 8sms marking the messages or threads as seen. Perhaps you had a lot of messages or threads that weren't marked as seen.
Or else, maybe there was a big delay because the database was optimising itself for it's first run or something like that.
In any case, it looks like the problem is fixed now?
Yes it looks like it. However it might be worth looking into whether this problem commonly occurs when switching Kitkat to your client while a large number of messages is present. I believe I had something on the order of 17000 messages in a hundred or so threads. Yes I should probably clean up a bit

I had a similar issue. Deleted all my messages (kept the backup file though) and uninstalled and reinstalled. It worked fine.
I plan on restoring over the next few days doing it in chunks.
This is a generic question. I'm not looking for specific help tracking down the problem cuz there seem to be way too many variables. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced/noticed it. Or has any info numerous Google searches has not revealed.
So, every once in a while, a text message sent to me seems to not show up on my phone. The only way I know I got it is because Pushbullet syncs it to my PC and Firefox extension. But when I look in my messaging app (Google Messenger) it is not there. And if I do a backup using SMS Backup and Restore Pro it is not included in the backup.
So my phone must be receiving the message if Pushbullet mirrors it. Which makes me assume it is not a cell service issue. But it is not on my phone, messaging app, or SMS backups. Rebooting, switching SMS apps (tried 8SMS and Textra too), clearing app caches, etc. doesn't reveal said missing SMS's.
Background: Nexus 5, PAC-MAN rom 4.4 RC3, Google Messenger as main SMS app, various Xposed modules (but none that affect SMS), T-Mobile service.
It's only been a couple so far. But could have been more when my PC isn't on. And the reason I am concerned is cuz said SMS's are from pretty girls. So obviously I NEED to receive them
If anyone has any advice/info/sarcastic remarks/etc., I would appreciate it. Thxs!

I'd be looking at Pushbullet if I were you. Xposed is always a possibility.
Do the texts show up if you reboot the phone?

Haha, nice try
Update: reflashed my ROM, set everything back up from scratch (hate doing that) except for Pushbullet. Bought a Sony Smartwatch 3 and using Coffee to txt from it. Got a txt this morning, and when scrolling thru it on my watch noticed a message that was not on my phone again.
I'm wondering if it's Messenger at this point. Gonna switch messaging apps and see how that goes.
Try switching to hangouts or something, also do you set the setting for default sms handler in settings?

I've switched to 8SMS from Messenger. I also went back to stock 4.4.4 and didn't let Google restore any app data. Messenger was the default SMS app. The only time I ever switched it was to restore a SMS backup for whatever reason and switched it right back. I didn't check at the time of missing texts if the default was changed, tho.
I just think they must've been deleted for whatever reason since they didn't show up in a backup. Been on stock with 8SMS for a few days and haven't noticed it so far. Maybe just a weird glitch with Messenger and letting the app data be restored when I reset the first time brought it back? Idk.
My aCalendar widget no longer works properly. Neither does PlentyOfFish (POF) with chatheads. Not sure if latest update broke them or what. anyone else having problems since this update?

I tried reinstalling two different apps that weren't working and that worked great. However, I still have a problem with messaging. The system is saying that certain text messages have not been sent. But I know they were because people responded to them.
The default messaging app cannot be uninstalled so I am not sure what to do.

Both messaging apps have same problem.
I tried uninstalling Evolve, but it didn't help anything. This is more of a system problem where it thinks messages haven't been sent so they show up in red. I know they were sent. It's very odd. The problem went away for now in that it's been showing messages as sent, so I suppose I can ignore it.
