Hi. My battery discharged and my phone did a hard reset. I have resynced, and everything seem fine, except that my sms / text messaging facility has disappeared. I have even tried restoring an old backup, but to no avail. There is no longer an option to send or receive text messages (sms's). If I go into messages, I only get MMS and Outlook as options (and the pop email account I've set up). I recently installed the latest ROM version 3/10/05 which came out in June. Can anyone help? :?:
I have a motorola i886 which is a weird sorta-android phone with no touchscreen... Anyways, I managed to figure out how to root it but now I have another problem.
For some reason whenever I try to send a text message with anything other than the built-in messaging app, it will immediately fail to send. (they all get 'message failed to send' or 'message not sent' errors immediately after I try to send a message) I have tried chompsms, gosms and the quick reply feature from sms popup and they all fail. They can all read incoming messages OK but can not send for some reason.
Is this maybe some kind of permissions issue? In the manage applications menu it says that they all have the send_sms permission...
Does anyone have any idea of anything else I can check or try to get them working? I am kind of thinking that it may have something to do with the fact that this is such a strange phone and a weird modified android...
I searched the forum and nothing that popped up fits my problem. I run CleanROM with the stock TouchWiz Messaging App. Every now and then, I won't be able to send text messages. Not from stock, not from Handcent or Go... Not at all. I tried clearing data today and that didn't help, either. It will work just fine when I restart my device, but I don't want to have to do that just to send a text message, you know?
Any other suggestions?
If any of you have not tried Mightytext, you should give it a look. It allows you to send text messages via your computer through your phone.
I use Contacts+ for texting and dialing on my phone. For some reason ever since I got my One, I've been receiving duplicate messages for most texts coming in. I never had this problem on my Galaxy S4. I tried deleting Contacts and that solved the duplication problem but I wasn't happy with that solution, I'd rather have Contacts+ that the stock messaging app.
I went into Titanium Backup and tried freezing the messaging app but that didn't work. I also saw something called "Message Provider 1.0.660928" I froze that and the duplication problem stopped. Does anyone know what that app is and do I need it?
Thank you

I have the Mate 9, but Android Messages will not function properly on it. It will only show "Unknown Sender" and will not allow me to reply to messages.
At the bottom, it says "Sender does not allow replies". Anybody else have this issue?
same here. aching for the fix!
i had same problem, switched to Textra app and I love it.
I was having a similar problem with my daughter (using a Samsung Active). Her messages frequently arrived as Unknown Sender, and in group MMS messages her messages would never download. Frequently her simple SMS texts to me would show as "Download Failed". So I switched to Textra and that resolved the issue, but I wasn't happy that I could not use the stock Message program or Android Messages. I called AT&T and they re-provisioned my Mate 9 on the account, and I reset the APN to Default in Settings and now everything works fine. Odd to say the least, but at least it works now.

Not talking about mms.
ALL messages are from unknown sender
If rooted, have you tried freezing the stock SMS app? Did you restore your SMS from an application?

Not rooted. All other sms apps work fine.
There is another thread where I answered this question. Do NOT download Google messenger from the play store. For some odd reason it doesn't work. You have to go to apk mirror and download the apk from there. The only way to get rid of unknown sender is to delete all texts and start over with a fresh install from apk mirror. It fixed the MMS problems as well. I don't know why you have to do it. You just do.
So far I got the app to work. First, I downloaded it from the Play Store. Then I deleted my messages. Afterwards, I restarted the phone then it started working.
Bad thing is messages won't appear even after backing them up.
