Hey guys...been having some issues, was wondering if anyone could tell me what's going on.
I'm on CM10, and i've had the same issue on several different daily builds. I noticed that I wasn't receiving a certain number of incoming text messages. I have been using (not at the same time) DeskSMS and Mighty Text to text via my computer, and I noticed I would recieve a text on there sometimes several minutes before it would show up on my phone. It seems that texts in both directions are going very slowly, because conversations are disjointed and out of order. When a large text is split into several smaller ones, they come sometimes a minute or two apart.
I have tried wiping my cache, installing different builds...everything aside from a full data wipe. Is that the next step, or is this a Verizon issue or something? Thanks!

My Niki is getting a little, er, awkward at handling MMS at the moment, I'll explain :
It does seem incredibly slow at downloading/opening MMS, and invariably the messages are nothing more than plain text (some friends who have bizarre text plans).
I can be in the middle of writing a text message, and then an incoming (text) MMS is received, and the phone is basically useless whilst the message is coming in.
And earlier it decided that it wasn't going to open any of the MMS that had been received this morning, would only open SMS.
Left it for a few minutes, no change, so decided to do a full power off reboot. Started back up again, and it had deleted all the messages that had been received in the last 10 or so minutes.
Any suggestions on what I could do to improve the general SMS/MMS handling? The phone is running on the stock Orange rom.
ps. please don't suggest using pocketcm instead - it doesn't seem to be able to send SMS at all on my Niki
so recently like the past 2 months my phone has had pauses that are rather extended and can be up to ten minutes sometimes where i am unable to access the sms page and i can receive texts but it wont alert me until it seems to catch up.
i thought it may have just been the large amount of texts i had so i decided to just flash a new rom and not restore the texts.
then last night after flashing a few hours earlier and having only maybe 40 or so texts in and out it did its pause.
anyone else experience this? or have a fix
Hi all, A co-worker has the Droid 2 and is about to receive her 3rd one in the mail tomorrow. The problem is that text messages are randomly cut-off or garbled to SOME people. I cannot seem to find anything to help her. The issue is not related to the size of the message (i.e. SMS converting to MMS) as it has occurred with one word texts as well as larger messages. Her D2 is stock. The recipients with issues have older (1 or 2 year old VZW phones. Guessing they are dumb or feature phones, but not sure). Here is what we've tried:
Example of a 1 word text: So I sent a text that said “busy?” and it came through to the recipient as “bus”
1. Turn off auto-correct in settings
2. Auto-Signature in settings is not checked (thought that might auto convert to MMS)
3. Switch to Handcent from stock messaging app. Same problem
4. Delete the contacts having trouble and then soft re-set the phone. Then add the contacts back in.
5. Replaced phone; same problem new phone.
6. Remove apps and replace one by one. Thought she had some luck with a camera app, but no go. The issue recurred without the camera app on the phone (have told her to check the camera apps settings to see if there is anything that could be adding pics to text messages without her knowledge. That would turn the message into an MMS. Long shot but worth a look.)
I feel like somehow all of her text messages are being converted to MMS but I cannot find any setting that would be causing this to occur. Cannot think of anything else. Anyone have any ideas?
I would try doing a factory reset without installing ANY extra apps, and see if it still happens. If it works, then slowly start installing apps until it starts again and you've found the issue. If it doesnt fix it at all, then I'd SBF and try as above. If still doesnt work then it's likely an issue with your carrier or maybe their carrier. (Person getting them)
Might be a slow work day, so I'm hoping I can get rid of some the little bugs that have been bothering me....
1. Sometimes I will receive the same text message multiple times, up to about 10 but it's usually only one or two duplicates. This can happen over a period of about 20 minutes.
2. Messages get delivered several hours later or only after a reboot. There is not usually any indication that the sms failed to deliver. I sent a text yesterday to my brother, and it seemed to go out fine with no error message. After rebooting my phone today, I shortly thereafter received a confused text asking what I was talking about. The text I thought I had sent yesterday now appeared in our conversation with a timestamp of when I restarted my phone.
3. The stock messaging app doesn't give me any notifications at all. Obviously, that's not acceptable, so I'm stuck using a 3rd party sms app (handcent). Don't know if this is related, but I use Google Voice for my voicemail and that also doesn't give me notifications (have my voicemails sent to my gmail account as a workaround on that). If I open the apps my voicemails and texts are there, just no notification from the phone.
I know at least the first two issues could be an issue with the carrier (at&t), but I had none of these problems with an iphone prior to switching or when using the mediocre AT&T Messages app on this phone.
I was hoping these problems would magically disappear after rooting and installing a new ROM (viperXL), but that hasn't been the case.
Thanks for any help!
I've been having a recurring problem with SMS which I think might be related to the ongoing Lollipop memory leak problems. I have tried trimming back old messages but it's still happening at least a few times a week.
Basically at some point I get a text message and when I go into my SMS client - currently EvolveSMS but the same thing happens in all clients - the conversation list is either blank or only contains 1-3 entries. Any attempt to access text messages in any app fails and it just shows no conversations. When I do a logcat search for SMS I find this message:
The connection pool for database '/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db' has been unable to grant a connection to thread 100 (Binder_A) with flags 0x1 for 180.01302 seconds.
And it keeps showing up again and again with the number of seconds incrementing. The thread number and binder letters change as well as perhaps multiple different processes are trying to access the texts.
If I reboot it continues happening but eventually goes away on its own and I can see my whole conversation list again. Sometimes if I swipe away every recent app and wait a few minutes it goes away too.
I once had this problem in KitKat after restoring a large number of messages to a newly purchased Nexus 5. However it only occurred once - after I allowed the error to resolve itself over some extended period of time, the problem went away and never came back. On Lollipop I am experiencing this with quite some regularity and it's very disruptive because I'll receive a text and then find myself locked out of being able to respond to it for 10 or more minutes.
Any thoughts, ideas etc?
