Text Messages Numbers Faulty

Hey,
My text messages are adding up a lot. Like if I am texting someone and don't close out the message then it starts counting my sent messages as well. So a lot of times when I close out the messages it says I have 10 unread messages in that thread and I have to go through and click on the message 10 times to make it a "read message.
Anny idea how to fix this? I have had this behavior one other time on my tilt, and it was only on one ROM, but am getting it now on my Raphael

Stock Rom or what?

Sorry,
Proven ROM, I looked it up and no one had found any fixes that I could see on that thread, so I was wondering if anyone here had had problems with a different ROM and knew a fix or if it was in the particular cooking of the particular ROM and I had to just put up with it.

this is an issue many have, but with no fix. i too am using provens rom.

Messages app bug

Hello,
I have a problem with my messages app, sometimes it completely crashes :
Here are the symptoms :
- I have the messages list, but when I want to open one, I have the "loading.." but nothing happen
- Sometimes when I want to send a message, it doesn't work. I push the send button, the sending windows appears something like 300ms but my message isn't sent
- And recently, when I configure to see only 1 line of preview, after a crash it set it back to 2.
Each time I have to turn my phone off and on again to make it work again
I have tried other apps like handcent and goSms, I tried a factory reset but the problem remain..
My phone is rooted and i have a custom rom (the probleme was here before i rooted it, I though a new rom might resolve it and after 3 nothing has changed)
I'm starting to think it's hardware.. in this case I'll try the warranty..
Thanks for your help
ps : English is not my mother tongue, sorry if there are mistakes

Have you tried changing to another radio image maybe it's caused be signaldrop or something like this?
Here you can get a another one.
Btw, which is your current?
Edit:
Btw, apps like gosms,.... can't solve your problem, they're set up on the build in SMS app and only provide a different user interface

Thanks, might be good idea
I have 20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M
At first I didn't upgrade it because it seems dangerous and, as some says it is rarely necessary. But in this case, I might consider it

[Q] I received a text message from a single digit number "1"... What the heck?

[Q] I received a text message from a single digit number "1"... What the heck?
The message is still in my Samsung Galaxy S2 inbox and contains this:
message size:32kb
expires: 9:04PM, Oct 25
Download
where "Download" is a clickable button and when I click it it changes to "Downloading", then after a few moments it changes back to "Download".
Any idea what it might be?

So you downloaded unknown software from a suspicious number onto your phone because it told you to?
Ummm... Quickly You need to pm me your bank account details and any applicable passwords plus personal identification information. If someone is going to scam you and get all your stuff it should be me, at least im honest about it, plus you have to now cause I asked you to.

Yeah, but nothing happened after, android didn't prompt me to install anything. Is it possible that it installed by itself? And how can such a message arrive to me anyway? Do you think its from an installed app??
My phone is 100% stock and not rooted. What in the heck is this? If its THAT easy to get a security hole, then that makes the market a scary place!

Whats the file name? go to where your phone stores downloads and find out. if nothing is there check running applications. Is anything running that shouldn't have been. can you provide a screenshot of the text message?

I'm shocked that you presses download, not knowing where the message came from. Were you THAT curious?
I hope nothing is going to happen to your device, but in the future, you might want to ask first before pressing anything.
Sorry I couldn't really contribute anything helpful to this thread, but I couldn't resist.

Moving to Q&A

I just received a txt from the number '1' also.
Subject: its time
Message size: 12Kb
I use handcent and it is set to auto retrieve mms. It said downloading for quite some time then I deleted it and blocked the number.

You're Fine
I think you're fine. I just recieved a similar message from 1. I think it was someone 'replying all' to a mass text because a second later that message from 1 disappeared and was replaced by an actual text. PS, I'm not an expert.

You might be right. Turns out my girlfriend sent a mass text and I was on the list. I ended up getting several more that day. None of which would auto download.

highly avoid
I would highly advise to stay away from and advise you to not download any type of text message that comes to you from an unknown phisher or source.

same issue sorta
see i have been getting texts like this myself it started just yesterday when a friend said he would send me a video of something (mms video) and so i never got it but instead a number listed as 1 had sent a message with no subject it was a download. i asked my friend to send again and it went through to his number instead just fine (hes using an iphone) so i just deleted the conversation with the number 1 and moved on but then my girlfriend sent a video to me and the same thing happened. im curious if its an error having to do wth the sending of video or if its something more concerning. (my girlfriend is on android) the whole thing here is taht they where sending me a video and that i got a message that i could download supposedly a video using the number 1 instead of from the person who said they where sending something(its concerning

Well that was rude. Way to be a ****

I've gotten that text message twice on two different phones and my phone auto magically started downloading? My phone is fine after every time but it's just so weird to me my recent message sent to me and then dissapeared

[Q] One contact's message thread won't open. Stock message app

Ever since the ICS upgrade, one contact's message thread refuses to open and is stuck on "O Loading" with that little circle revolving.
I downloaded go sms pro before and I was able to access his thread through that and the message count wasn't over the maximum limit per contact. I've since gone back to the stock app as he's out of the country and it's faster than go sms pro but he recently txted me and caused the problem to occur with other contacts (though a reset of the phone solves their issue)
Does anyone have a solution and failing that, advice? I should say right now that deleting his message thread is the last resort.

You could try to backup your messages (you can find some apps for that in the market), then delete all your contacts, and afterwards restore them again~
Though no idea if it will work :/

Aye I could try it with a contact whose messages I don't mind losing and seeing if that works, thanks for the tip!

You can also use Google Voice, and have it copy all the messages to your Gmail account.

So I started backing up and restoring and I was able to open all contacts' threads. The backup never fully restores all messages though and I have to keep hitting "restore" so that it'll restore them all up to the present day. Don't know why it's doing it this way.
Just now I've checked and that one contact won't open again. What I might do is try and restore all to the present, delete loads of messages I don't want, and backup this new message history.

I know this is most likely far too late but I was having the same problems and found this thread while trying to sort it and hope it will help anyone else in future who has the same problems. I tried backing up and restoring (Using both the default and sms back-up and restore) deleting the thread and restoring, eventually I solved it by installing handscent, deleting the messages sent/received back to when the problem started in that thread and a few before, then went in settings, apps, then all, messages cleared the cache, restarted and it is sorted!!

Yeah it never resolved itself but I love the customisation of go sms pro so much that I don't mind anymore. Pity go sms pro crashes every so often and I think it slows the phone down.

I was going to start a new thread but see that this is the same problem I have.
I have a mt4gs (Doubleshot) and the problem described in this thread has happened twice. Both times i was receiving a text message and did something else with the phone at the same moment, and it seems to have jammed up the receipt of that text. The first time, i sent a text to the person at the same moment i received one. The second time, i locked the screen at the moment one arrived. Now that thread never loads, and loading other threads or contacts takes much longer than it should. In fact, i don't think contacts would ever load if i were willing to wait forever.
The first time I backed up the texts, reset the device, and restored, and everything worked fine, but that's a really time-consuming process and it seems like a ridiculous workaround for some broken buffer or queue in Android messaging.
It seems that there must be a direct fix for this. If it's easy enough to break messaging that it has happened to me twice, it must be a fairly common problem. But a search has turned up nothing but people saying there are too many messages or to use an alternative app for messaging. That's (1) incorrect and (2) again an ugly workaround for a problem with core functionality.

[Q] Call or save a phone number contained in the message

I have installed the latest RUU on my DS, the problem I am facing is i cant tab to save or call phone numbers contained in my mms and sms.
Before ICS everything is fine, after upgrading I have this bug. Is anyone facing the same problem? Any solution or bug fix to this?
Thank u!

It's well known problem of last update. AFAIK you cannot fix this without root and changing build.prop file. You can also use third party sms app like handcent or go sms.

i just highlight (long press), copy and paste. disgustingly unelegant but it works

Maybe its time for me to root my phone.
