I got the Razr Maxx HD about 3 weeks ago. I use Yahoo! Messenger a lot and from the start I noticed that when someone sends me a message through Messenger, I don't get it right away. Minutes will go by then I get a whole string of messages at once. Its almost like they got "stuck' somehwere, piled up, and then arrive at my phone at the same time. Very annoying. On my previous phones this would not happen, the Messenger conversations were much more fluid.
My phone is not rooted, is stock with all the updates to date. I tried clearing the cache and data of the Messenger app, but that didn't make a difference. I have also factory reset my phone, that did not make a difference. Anybody else see this or have any ideas on how to fix that?
Thanks,
Lenny

Maybe you guys can help me out here. This is the second time this has happened. All of the sudden, without warning, all my contacts are gone. I sent a text not 10 mins ago, at that point everybody who I'd texted had their names and photos next to the texts. Now, I'm left with just a bunch of numbers. I checked my "Contacts" app, and it's empty. It did the same thing about a week ago, but it was early and I had a Nandroid backup from the night before, so I only lost about two texts. My last backup is from two days ago, too much for me to restore back that far. Any idea a) WHY this would happen, as randomly as it did? and b) How to get back any contacts that might not transfer from a GMail/Facebook Sync? Would this be a problem with the phone, or something I did to the phone that would make it do this literally randomly?
I guess I'll throw in that I mainly use Handcent, have ChompSMS on here as well, and haven't used the default messaging app since I downloaded Handcent. I also am no longer able to sync Facebook it appears.
Also, contacts are the only thing missing. All other data is still there, along with all apps and even my homescreen layout is still intact.

Check your sync options. On a different device, I've had the Contacts come unchecked, and when the phone sync'd it erased them all
I checked everything after it happened, there were no changes. I didn't have it set up for Auto-sync either, so it shouldn't have just randomly synced to nothing. And that wouldn't explain why my phone and SIM contacts aren't accessible either.
Anyways, it happened again today. I noticed it right after I replied to a text using LauncherPro's new Messaging widget. I'm wondering if that's not the common factor in the three times that it's happened. If it happens again, it'll be getting unrooted, restored to stock and exchanged under warranty. The most intrusive thing I've done to this phone is try to get a lagfix to work (that didn't even work), and I doubt the side effects of that would include random contact deletion...
for a ling time, through a variety of phones, i have used different email apps with no issues. Lately though, and i think its since updating to oreo, im getting the push notification of an email but it just wont open the body of the mail. Ive tried about 5 diferent email apps now and all are the same.
So ive gone back to the built in email app and emails are opening and showing everything fine but am i right in thinking it isnt push notifications? I cant see anyway of doing so, just to sync every 15, 30, 45 or 60 mins? Is this right?
Is there no way of getting instant push notifications of an email received using the stock huawei email app?
having major issues with email on this phone. Never had problems with any other phone and ive had many over the last 15 years.
No other email app will show the body of an email, the default email did for a while then that stopped as well. Ive uninstalled updates to the huawei mobile services, ive deleted cache and storage for the app and reset up my email. i get loads of errors at different points. Took about 15 attempts to re-set up my email as it couldnt connect to server when setting up. Then it kept telling me my password was wrong when i know it wasnt.
Eventually managed to set it up again and looked like it was working but now it wont send emails. Says something about not being logged in and gives an error code. I can only put this down to a buggy Oreo as i dont remember having issues before updating.
Anyone able to help?
I have a Google Pixel 4A 5G with CalyxOS. Also tried Graphene OS. The stock texting app in those OSes does not support group chats which I use a lot with family, so I ended up installing QKSMS as it's the only app I can find that does support group chats and that works decently.
However, randomly I will start getting old texts back, it's super annoying. It basically replays a past conversation and I just get all the same texts. At one point it got so bad I had to just switch back to my old phone because I was being bombarded with old texts. Now it happens maybe once a day, where it replays the conversation from a week ago. But it's random, sometimes it's a conversation from a day ago.
I also tried an experiment, when it started to happen I put it in airplane mode to see if it continues and it stopped, and when I took it out of airplane mode it started again. So it's like if the phone is actually queering the server to retrieve the messages again. Is there a way to make this stop? I just want to get the texts once. Or is there a way I can troubleshoot this, like some kind of logging I can check to see why it's doing this?
Also open to trying another texting app if it's related to this particular app, I just have not found any in the Fdroid store that seem to do group chats, and it's hard to test this feature without trying it and it annoys people when I do it.
Just bumping... really hoping someone can know how to make this stop.
I tried switching to Signal (still SMS/MMS since that's what everyone I know uses) and it's still doing it. So this is not an issue with the specific texting app...
I really don't know what to do anymore, this is so annoying. I may give in and go back to stock android but I really hate all the spying crap it does.
Hi,
I normally send multiple photos from my phone via FB Messenger to people with iPhones. And they are not getting them.
When I repeat/resend - they get it.
People with iPhones just get the message (title of my photos) but not the actual photos. Those photos are not downloaded later either.
Internet connection is OK (LTE works perfectly).
Forums suggest turning off data savers etc. This is turned off at both ends.
Does anybody know why iPhones are not getting FB Messenger photos?
Does this problem only occur when sending to iPhones? Have you tried logging out of FB Messenger and logging back in? You also should try clearing FB Messenger app and cache data.
It could also be a FB Messenger back end server problem.
This seems to me to be an app specific issue and not with your phone nor the recipients'.
Mostly to iPhones. Because most of my relatives uses iPhones. So can't tell how statistically Android users didn't get my photos.
For the context - I send like 15 photos at a time.
It happened with the my previous Galaxy Notes as well. I did few factory resets since I purchased S22 Ultra. And between resets I had this problem. I think it counts as cache clearing and logging out and back.

Sending 15 photos at a time is a lot of data. Try sending 10 at one time and see what happens. I am still thinking it is either an app problem or a back end server problem. I'm leaning a little towards the latter because of the amount of data your sending at one time.
According to FB, the attachment size is 25MB.

Basically what happens is I get old texts from previous conversations as if they were new. They will come in randomly but tend to follow the sequence of the conversation, so it basically replays the conversation but slowly over the day. Seems to affect group chats more. It makes following conversations very hard since they are full of old texts that are not relevant but they show up as new. Also annoying to keep getting notifications when I'm actually waiting for a text only to see that it's an old text that I got days ago.
Current phone is Google Pixel 4A with CalyxOS, but I've also tried Graphene OS and had the same issue. I've tried the stock app as well as QKSMS. I did not get the issue with Signal (using as SMS client) but they dropped support for SMS, so this started back again as soon as I switched off Signal. I even tried putting the sim card in my old phone (stock android) and it's still doing it! This part is strange to me because when this problem first surfaced, doing this did fix the problem.
How do I make this stop or begin troubleshooting this? Nobody in my contacts is having this issue so trying to convince them to switch to another messaging system is kind of futile, this is my problem. I am starting to wonder if I should just get an iphone like everyone else because it just works, but I really hate the closed nature of apple ecosystem.
I was thinking of looking into how to do app development and modify an existing open source client so that it ignores texts that have a send date older than 24h, but before I do that, is there already a text client for Android available in the F droid store or as an APK that would have such a feature?
So this is not just group chats like I thought. Starting to get old texts I got from single conversations now. Even pictures get resent. These show up as new texts, though they still have the original send date. This will at least make it easier to filter these out.
Anyone have an ideas how to make this stop? Driving me insane. I really don't want to have to write my own app.
Anyone? This problem is driving me insane. It started happening with a vengeonce again. I am being bombarded by old texts that I already got days ago. It's just playing out the entire conversation over the course of a few days. Have to put the phone in airplane mode to make it stop otherwise the phone is just lit up non stop with old texts coming in.
At very least is there some kind of logging of sorts I can enable that would help me better troubleshoot this?
Inreally dont know but i Remember this happened to me sometime ,maybe Just try a factory reset or change rom , i dont know
I tried several roms, resets etc. While it was happening I even put the sim card in another phone and it started doing it on that phone too. It's also not a carrier issue since I'm the only person having this issue. I've also tried all sorts of text apps. The only one it didn't do it with was Signal but they dropped SMS support, which really sucks.
