I'm on a rooted 8GB Moto G, running stock UK 4.4.2 ROM.
Silly me decided to uninstall the original Messaging app to use Hangouts, but Hangouts crashes when I write a single letter in my SMS. I tried to fix it by re-installing Messenger, but it's crashing as well (It didn't crash before). Tried a few other SMS apps, all of them crash, too. It seems my phone doesn't want to have externally installed SMS applications, and now with the original Messaging app gone, I can't send a single SMS. Is there a fix for this? I really wouldn't want to do a factory restore.
Halp!

RESOLVED: Turns out it was GO SMS causing all the problems. The most recent update fixed all my problems. Still have no clue why this would cause my stock messaging app to crash *shrugs*
I have an HTC Evo3D, which had been working fine until this morning. Any app that deals with SMS messages now hangs up and freezes my entire phone, requiring me to take out my battery and restart my phone. I normally use GO SMS, but the default Messenger app crashes as well. Usually the app will load, and I'll see my list of conversations, but if I try to load a conversation or send a new text, everything freezes up and I'm left beating my head against the wall while my phone restarts. I tried to install an SMS backup app, but it froze up as well. Cleared the app data for GOSMS, but no luck.
My phone number is integrated with Google Voice, so I'm willing to erase all my SMS messages if I need to, but I have no idea how to do this without access to a messaging app. Needless to say, this is pretty frustrating
Any protips, Android Gods?
EDIT: I just realized that the GO SMS popup shows up when I get a new text, but if I try to reply or open the conversation--crash, crash, crash. This makes me think there might be something wrong with my SMS archive, but I'm clueless how to fix it.
I've found a few threads to this problem but since they're a little older and no solution was found yet I thought I'd give it another shot.
My phone is a XT1032, retail bought in Germany. Kitkat 4.4.4, no root and just a few apps from the Playstore, nothing special at all.
It seems that ever since I switched from the built-in Motorola (?) Messaging app to Google Hangouts my texts get sent twice, meaning a few people complain about getting them twice even though Hangouts shows just a single message. My settings are changed to use Hangouts as my default messaging app, and I'm using Hangouts (as Messaging before) with read receipts turned on.
To get on to this weird behaviour I changed my default app back to Messaging plus uninstalled all Hangouts updates. And now it works fine.
I'd rather use Hangouts, though. Any suggestions?
I hope this'll be fixed in Lollipop...
Nope it's a long problem... try deleting Google framework cache
Thanks for your response. I tried it out, but it didn't work. I keep using Messaging for now and set my hopes in Lollipop.
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?

Nope. Tried that the second time I noticed and no luck. Also tried clearing cache/dalvik (just cuz).

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.
I have ~5000 sms messages backup file in XML made with SMS Backup and Restore.
On my Nexus 5 I deleted hangouts app and I have default Textra app for sms.
But after importing (approx ~10 min) it says successfully but the messages aren't there, only 6 of them.
The same is with Titanium Backup XML.
This has always worked before. Is Android 5.1 somehow different in sms storing?
I have used SMS Backup & Restore Pro (and the free version before that) to restore my SMS/MMS messages several times across a few phones and, aside from the occasional "1 failed" message, it has worked flawlessly every time.

Yes, I had no problems before, too. It seems the problem is in Textra. I installed Hangouts app from playstore and inside of it I can see my sms msgs, all of them, but when I enter Textra I see only 6 of them again.
Maybe Textra is not working very well with 5.1 ?

Did you reboot?
Yes, I did.
Anyway, I. Installed Yata and no problem.
Hey guys,
I have a BLN-L21 (L21C431B367 to be more precise) rooted with some xposed mods. Anyways...
I was playing with some Tasker features, specifically with Whatstasker plugin (a plugin that gives Whatsapp the ability to autoreply, etc.) and Whatsapp started to crash. So I uninstalled the plugin, still the same problem, I uninstalled Tasker, nothing... Then I noticed that the SMS app was also crashing, I tried to install different apps and all of them were crashing. Even FB Messenger was crashing when trying to send an SMS through it. And the Dialer app was also crashing.
I tried several times to reboot the phone. I wiped dalvik/cache on TWRP recovery. Now I noticed that my sim card is not being recognized, but I can't use mobile data nor make calls, even emergency calls. The apps aren't crashing anymore, but when I try to make a call (through different Dialer/Phone apps) the InCallUI.apk appears for less than a second and nothing is done. I tried to reinstall the app in /system/priv-app/InCallUI but nope.
If someone can help me solve this without having to reinstall the whole firmware I would be really really grateful!
Thanks in advance! XDA is the best!
