Messages glitch after Oreo update? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

Since the Oreo update, anytime I share a link from a website, it creates a draft to an anonymous recipient that never goes away unless I delete it. That's annoying as hell. Anyone know what the fix is? I've factory reset it twice.

Missing Texts in Handcent

Sometimes when I recieve texts the pop-up comes and goes away before I can read it. Then when I open up the application and goto the conversation view, the text I just received isn't there. It's been happening quite frequently now and is getting really annoying. I think mostly happens when I'm already doing something on the phone and I get a text.
I did some Googling and I found that people were reporting this in September with the version of Handcent then, but there wasn't any fix mentioned and I can't seem to find anymore information.
I'm running the latest version of Handcent on Fresh 1.1 with the Gumbo Kernel. Any ideas?
nevermind googled further and found a solution. will see if it work.

I've had this happen, also.. I think the last handcent update said something about fixing this, but It obviously didn't fix the problem...
I had that problem too, but for only one contact for some odd reason. So whenever that person sent a text, it wouldn't show up other than in the pop up box, but once I closed it, hte message was gone. I uninstalled and then reinstalled and haven't had the problem since. It's been a week.

Anyone had this weird MMS problem since Official Froyo?

I never once saw this problem the first 3 weeks I had my phone, but ever since I installed the Froyo upgrade I have had issues whereby some MMS messages do not automatically download. They show up in the list and have a download button on them. Sometimes when you push the download button they download, and other times they don't. It's an aggravating problem.
I've received only one MMS with a pic since I've downloaded the AT&T Froyo upgrade. It worked, but I'll keep an eye out for the problem.
Have you tried to create an appointment in the calendar since the upgrade? I can edit existing appointments, but when I attempt to create a new one and save it, I get a message saying it's saved, but it's nowhere to be found.
Another member on another thread confirmed having the same issue...

I've put several things into the calendar and it has saved them. I did do a factory reset though after installing Froyo. I started having a few weird issues and the reset cured most all of it except that my Market interface never has updated and this strange MMS issue. Also noticed that animated gifs that I receive in MMS messages play at a really slow framerate and they didn't with Eclair.
Thanks for the info.

can not send text message on captivate

i have newer version of captivate with gps fixed but few days ago it stopped sending text message although it can still receive text messages.
normally after sending message, it usually displays time stamp under the text but when it does not work it just displays "sending" as status indefinitely.
phone is rooted and has gingerbread i believe.
I also called customer center service and they did not see any issue from the point of service provider.
Anyone has experienced the issue? Thanks,
I'd have them check again to make sure that text is setup right on your account.
Beyond that what have you changed recently. Typically something like texting wont just stop working on the phone without something having been changed.
Is the ROM that's on there one you flashed? If so back it up, reflash to a clean state and see if text works. Then restore a bit at a time and see when it fails.

somebody also had this problem and he did a factory reset and he was able to send messages again but he is saying that he has lost his root although it's not possible
here is the link to thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540652
DID factory reset and now can send message. but cant root it back. crappy phone. tried from both of my laptop and desktop machine using odin v1.81. problem never gets around captivate.
Do the heimdall flash of KK4 or Apex ROM. Same as stock, but with root and all the problems gone.

Messaging App Crash when opening Message with Attachment

Hey,
I noticed that messaging apps (for example whatsapp) crashes whenever I open a conversation that has attachments in it. Or if in the last 20/30 lines is no attachment (picture for.example) but I try to open the contact windows where it shows the name, status and media it crashes while loading the media. I tried clearing the cache of whatsapp and the system media app. Tried clearing cache and dalvik. Tried scanning the media with some apps. I deleted the newest pics i received because i thought maybe they were corrupted. Nothing helped. This occured after updating to 30O.
PS: I'm not going to wipe/reset my phone because I don't have the time to restore everything after such a reset.

Unfortunately for you the next step would be a factory reset. But if you're not willing to do that I guess you'll have to live with it. Or completely wipe the whatsapp data and start fresh with the app.

I already thought that something went wrong when I updated to 30O so I just flashed the full ROM over my 25R with 30O OTA and now everything seems to work fine. Thank you for your efforts

"Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped."
I also had this problem. Kept getting this message when re-reading received messages, and, couldn't attach multimedia files. Found the answer from kspohn at an oneplus one forum. Thanks kspohn. It worked.
AT&T People without mms working here is the solution.
Call AT&T support. Go to wireless tech support when going through all the press # for (department name) mumbo jumbo.
Tell them you got a new phone and you need to activate mms on it by giving them IMEI number located on the packaging of your Oneplus One box particularly by the bar code sticker. This is like a SS for your specific phone
They will then ask you to power cycle the phone (turn it off for 10 sec) so call them originally with another phone.
They will then send a test mms to make sure it works. This only works for the global version of the phone so....... yea
Some At&T employees are aware of this phone... guy bro AT&T guy said it looked uber sweetles.

Why Does This Happen?

So, whenever im seeting up facebook messenger on my VIvo Nex S. It reboots itself before I can complete the setup. No matter what I do, it always happens. I thought it may have been something that I uninstalled using ADB but, I just did a factory wipe tonight, set my my phone back up, and without fail, it did it again. Anyone else expercing this or did experience this and have a solution for it? After I setup it up it never happens again, its just that initial time. It really bothers me.

Did you do a factory reset with Erase All Data and selecting Format Phone Storage? If so, then perhaps contacting VIVO via Facebook might have a solution.
I had a problem with a VIVO update where my Android Message app would not open. I contacted them via Facebook. They had me perform some tasks and send it to them, and now I don't have that problem with their latest update. But I have to say I fixed my problem before they had a fix by Formatting Phone Storage in Erase and Backup setting.
My point is, if this is phone specific, they can fix the problem and add the solution to their future updates if you make them aware of it.
