Does anyone else here use MightyText? Since switching over to the Idol 3 last week, I'm having some issues. When I send a text from the MightText web client, the message goes out and the recipient receives it. However, the message doesn't show up in the conversation list on my phone (it used to show up on my old phone). I tried uninstalling GoSMS and just using the stock message app but it's still happening.
If there are other MT users on this board, can you tell me if you have the same issue on your Idol 3?

I don't use that app but whenever moving from one Android version to a new one there are always apps that don't work properly. Same thing happens on Windows as well. The app dev needs to update their app for the new OS. Let them know what happening and if their still supporting their app they will fix it. I have an issue with Next Browser but my issue is it won't even install. Others are having the same issue on Lollipop but on other phones besides the Idol 3. I would recommend using an app that works on Lollipop until your favorite one is being updated/fixed. You may need to do some searching.
It is working for me. After installing the app, the app directs you to a website. This confirms it is communicating with the phone.
I have contacted the developer and informed them. I was just curious if this is a Lollipop issue, and Idol 3 issue, or just something screwy with my phone, and that's what I'm trying to track down.

Right, the app itself is working and sending text messages. The problem I'm having is that the outgoing text doesn't show up in the conversation list, so when I'm viewing a conversation on my phone, I can only see the other person's texts, not the ones I sent through MightyText. If I send a message through the phone, it shows up as normal.
It's not really a major issue, just something that was working fine on my old GS4/KitKat but isn't working the same on my Idol 3/Lollipop.
i just noticed that. kind of makes it one sided..... i have the same issue. I am going to try push bullet and see if that fixes it
---------- Post added at 07:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 AM ----------
same thing happens with pushbullet. My responses do not appear in the messages. bummer....
I know I'm late to this party, but I also have the same issue. Any luck with Pushbullet? This is definitely somehow specific to the idol3. I haven't had this issue with any other phone over the years, on any Android OS version.

So you're successfully using Pushbullet or Mightytext with Textra, on the Idol 3? Including outgoing messages showing in the message threads? I just can't seem to get this working right on my phone.

I have Pushbullet, Textra, MightyText, Hangouts, Messenger and Messaging. I have tried various combinations to get my outgoing text from my Chromebook to appear on my Idol3, but no success. I had no troubles with my Nexus 5.

Similar issue with OK Google sent texts
I'm having a similar issue when I send texts using "Ok Google".
The texts are received by the other party fine, but they never show up in my text history.
Is anyone else having the same issue? Anyone know of any fixes?
Same Issue Here
Outgoing texts do not appear in my conversation list for IFFT, Macrodroid sent texts.
I looked all over the internet for this issue... I'm glad I know now what's the problem, but I wish
a solution had emerge... any luck for you guys ?
This seems to be an Alcatel issue. I have tried reaching their support team regarding this issue and have not had any responses.
This makes the phone useless for me as I send out a lot of group texts via my computer. If I had known this would not work, I would have never purchased it.

Anyone else experiencing their text threads being out of order? For instance, i can send a text that shows that it was sent at the right time, however if someone texts me, the time is a couple of minutes off. Thus, throwing the chronological order off.
If im reading and thinking of ur problem rite it may be the same as mine was. When i first send text sometimes it would fail and wouldnt resend till i reopen text. So it would have wrong time at least i thought it did.

No, my texts don't fail. When I send them, they show the same time as my clock. However, if someone sends me a text, it shows they sent it about a minute or two ahead of my actual time.
I'll try to give an example: 6:45PM- actual times that these text are sent.
Me (6:45PM)- aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Me (6:45PM)- ccccccccccccccccccc
Someone Else (6:46PM)- bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
See, how it places the incoming texts at 6:46, even though it is really 6:45 still, throws the order off on my reply. It makes it seems like both of my texts were sent before I even received a response.
Very frustrating......
Are you having this problem in the stock messaging app? I noticed it every once in a while, but haven't had the problem yet with Handcent.
If you're using the stock app, try downloading Handcent or ChompSMS or something, and see if it goes away
i have this same issue, its made me switch to handcent because the problem hasnt occured using that. Plus it lets me have vibrate functionality ONLY in the vibrate setting and retain only audio notification in a sound profile

Yeah, I'm using the stock messaging app. I'll try Handcent, apparently a lot of people like it. I'll update ASAP
i'm still using my fuze and i have the same problem. i wonder if it has something to do with the time on att , the other persons phone and/or other carriers servers
Handcent all the way! It corrects the out-of-order issue and is way more customizable, including assigning ringtones for each contact. Just remember to turn off the notifications on the stock messaging app, otherwise you'll receive double notifications on each message received.
Im having the same problem on my Captivate...But my N1 gets it right. Im getting replys before I even send a text...according to the time stamps.
Sorry to report that, although ive only experienced it once, i have seen the same problem with Handcent SMS

Beauty is there's ways around it (other apps) and we don't have to rely on anyone to fix it.
My wife and I both have Captivates. Her phone has the text messages out of order, while mine does not. Something we noticed is that when we do an auto sync of the date/time, her phone is consistently 4 minutes behind mine. For example, my time will be 6:06, and her phone says 6:02. I believe this is what is causing the text app to "re-arrange" the messages. The text app just looks at the time stamp of the message, and not the actual order of the send/receive process.
I am not sure how to correct this other than manually setting her phone forward by 4 minutes.

This is exactly the problem.
If I get a text at 9:01... And I reply at 9:01... It puts mine as having been sent before the one I received.
just use handcent people.
Yeah, but like I said, Ive reproduced the problem once, even with Handcent. On a side note, does anyone know how or where to get more skins for Handcent?

That does not solve the root problem... Some phones are getting the wrong time from the network when set to auto-config.

I've been having this problem as well.
I went to the AT&T store today to try and get a new SIM, as per one of the suggestions in this thread. Problem still occurred. Tried it on a fresh straight out of the box Captivate. Problem still occurred. Sales guy threw his SIM from his iPhone in a demo Captivate. Problem still occurred on both Captivates.
Later I tried adjusting the time manually up by a minute or 2. Problem still occurred after a text with a response approx. 20-30 seconds later. Still showed the text coming in at 1:23, and my response which was 30 seconds later as being sent at 1:22.
Seems like a Samsung software issue.
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'
Click to expand...

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.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
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.
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!

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'm on OB4. It has been this way since 3, and yes I've tried a factory reset.
Seems like people who send me texts never get their messages through.

Did you find a fix for this?
I was having issues with the stock messaging app, did not get a lot of text, or have them send either. It did not matter what network the recipient/sender was on. I switched to google messages and have not had the issue repeat itself. I am on tmo, and this happened to me months back.
Hi all,
I have a Realme GT ME (although this problem might not be device specific as no one else has had this) which I bought a couple of months ago. Everything is working fine, got the new OS update as well but one thing that is not working is SMS. Also only when SMS is generated from another app.
Normal SMS is working fine. I can send and recieve them. Only when another app tries to send and SMS, say for some verification, it instantly fail. However if I try to send the same SMS again by tapping it to retry, it work fine. I have no clue why this is happening. I have tried and ruled out most of the probable causes,
1. Sim is working fine since normal SMS works
2. It isn't the messageing app since I have tried installing a different one.
3. The SMS issue is caused in all app hence it is not app specific.
Hence it has to be something to do with the OS or the SMS service. I'd really appeciate if someone would be able to help me.
Thanks a lot.
