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.

Using Go SMS Pro for texting, but I am sending duplicate, or double, of sms messages. It's not every text, approx one in every 4. Running CM10 on the vzw SGS3.
Here's what I've attempted:
Disable all notifications in the AOSP Messaging app
Froze Messing apk in Titanium
Set "Stock SMS unistalled" in Go SMS Pro settings
Re-flashed the VRLF2 modem
Seems others have this problem, but no solution other than "use the messaging app". I've got 2 theories, but I am opening this up to discussion and if anybody has an angle I'm not seeing.
-I'll try using Handcent. If this works, it points there's a bug in Go SMS Pro. Else, it's across third-party apps meaning its either the AOSP .apk or ... radio?
additionally, this has only been occuring since I flashed CM10.1, lost data, and odin back to TW and back to normal on CM10. Been having spotty data and I am thinking this may be associated? I am certainly open to suggestions.

You could try clearing GO SMS Pro's app cache (Settings->Application Manager->All->GO SMS Pro->Clear Cache) or running a fix permissions utility. Uninstalling then re-installing may also fix it. While the above suggestions may not fix it, I figured I would give you some more possibilities to try.
I have my SMS & MMS Synced with my GMAIL, but I a unable to pull them from my email to my phone. Does anyone know of an app that will do this?
I use SMS backup+, it has options for both backup and restore.
Although restoring on mine tends to fail due to the sheer number of messages :/

I actually just tried that app, and it only backs up some of my messages (similar to what you said). It also is restoring from newest to oldest, so when I open my text app I see the oldest conversations at the bottom, instead of the newest.

Backing up works perfectly for me, I've only tried restore once and then gave up on it.
Email the dev if you have persistent issues, it should work perfectly

Actually the dev just emailed me back and said that is an issue that is experienced on some Motorola phones.
Hmm so I downloaded 8sms as I thought it might be a suitable replacement. It looked great, just like the stock messaging app. Made it default. Came back and I just got a blank white screen that says "Loading conversations.". Rebooted and it looked fine. Then opened it a second time and again lost my conversations. Switched back to Hangouts and my messages were still missing after a reboot. Opened 8sms again and my threads were there, went back to Hangouts and my threads were there.
Switch back to 8sms and I get a notification for 8305 new messages. Opened the notification and it's again "Loading conversations".
Something very strange is going on with the 3rd party functionality in KitKat. In logcat I get messages like:
"The connection pool for database '/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db' has been unable to grant a connection to thread (###) (Binder_#) with flags 0x# for 150.003 seconds" where the #s are a bit different with each entry.
Running pure stock rooted here. Any thoughts? I know that there is some sort of database transfer when switching in and out of Hangouts, but this is really disconcerting.
Given this instability, I guess I will be back to Hangouts for now until I can figure out what will work consistently.
Any thoughts on this, anyone?

Hi,
Could you please check your mms settings are correct?
http://8s.ms/mms-settings
It shouldn't be related, but I've heard from other users of weird phone behaviour when this is not configured correctly.
You might also want to try an uninstall-and-reinstall as well. There are a few reports of phones also behaving strangely which then fix themselves after a second install.
Other than that ...
"The connection pool for database '/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db'

That sounds like an Android problem.
That's the database which stores the sms and mms messages. You can think of it as a "server" and 8sms (and Hangouts) are just clients to the server.
Hence, the database is managed by Android, not by 8sms (nor Hangouts) which is why I think this is an Android problem .
I know that there is some sort of database transfer when switching in and out of Hangouts, but this is really disconcerting.

There is no "database transfer". Both apps read from the same database, but only one (the default sms app) is allowed to write to it.
When the default sms app is changed, no data copying takes place, it's just a change of a simple string setting (to remember which is the default sms app and is allowed to write to the databse), and is instantaneous.
Hence again, this is why I think it's an Android problem.
Perhaps you have file system corruption or a problem with your Nexus 5?
Thanks, yes my MMS settings are correct. I would be surprised to see any corruption as I only just got this phone Friday. Anyways I haven't had any problems keeping it set to Hangouts.

Well, please try the reinstall I suggested above.
Then, another suggestion ... what about you force stop both apps (8sms and Hangouts) before you change the default sms app (via the Android settings)?
Perhaps in your previous switch, Hangouts was still writing data to the messages database?
(Just a random wild guess)
didnt they change how sms/mms worked in 4.4.
I think the app needs to be updated for it to be compatible no? correct me if im wrong, probably i am.

Yes, but 8sms has already been updated to work in 4.4, and there are lots of instances of it working on other Nexus 5 phones.

OK: Tried uninstalling/reinstalling 8sms. Then force closed Hangouts and 8sms each. Then changed default sms app via Android settings.
Then launched 8sms. Everything looked fine. Then opened a conversation and everything was blank. Backed out to the conversation list and got "Loading conversations" again.
I have taken a logcat filtered for anything mentioning sms. Removed identifying phone numbers from it. I have attached it here, starting with the time when 8sms is reinstalled. You can see at 01:47:05.776 the SMS app is switched to Messaging (8sms). At time 01:47:52.886 the first SQLiteConnectionPool error message appears. The messages appear every 30 seconds.
Oh! Interesting. After 10 minutes (01:57:23.016) the last error message is seen. Two seconds later we see an "onQueryComplete finished" message from 8sms. From this point on I was able to open 8sms and see my messages again.
So for a span of 10 minutes, something went on that was locking me completely out of seeing messages, and then it stopped and everything worked. I rebooted to see one more time if it was still working, and yes it does. Perhaps in order to reproduce this error you need to have a big pile of messages already present. Obviously not a lot of Nexus 5 users have this because they just got their phones, but I do because I restored a large archive of messages from my last device.
Hi,
I recognise the query "UPDATE sms SET seen=? WHERE seen=0". It's 8sms marking the messages or threads as seen. Perhaps you had a lot of messages or threads that weren't marked as seen.
Or else, maybe there was a big delay because the database was optimising itself for it's first run or something like that.
In any case, it looks like the problem is fixed now?
Yes it looks like it. However it might be worth looking into whether this problem commonly occurs when switching Kitkat to your client while a large number of messages is present. I believe I had something on the order of 17000 messages in a hundred or so threads. Yes I should probably clean up a bit

I had a similar issue. Deleted all my messages (kept the backup file though) and uninstalled and reinstalled. It worked fine.
I plan on restoring over the next few days doing it in chunks.
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!

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?

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.
