I have wiped everything twice and am not getting any of the contact pictures to appear with my text messages. It happened when I first flashed Fresh .3 but I figured that something didn't wipe correctly. Anyone else see this? The contact pics show up normally under favorites and when scrolling through contacts.
Thanks
Everything shows up fine here. Idk what could cause that. Are you using the stock messaging app?
Yep, I haven't changed anything from the Fresh release with the exception of adding the voicesearch back in.
mine all show up fine too.
do this. delete the contacts.
then resync with google.
I finally fixed it! I opened an adb shell and used the find command to locate all files with mms in the name(find / -name *mms*) and purged them all. Then I reflashed Fresh 0.53 over my current install without doing any wipes and tada, it worked. Thanks for the suggestions.

Not sure if anyone else had this: I did a ROM upgrade on my XDA IIs, then restored all my data from a back up on my PC. most things seemed OK (though some GPRS settings were lost), but some old SMS messages and emails now show in the relevant folders, but have no 'envelop' next to them. I can't open them (you see the window try to expand, but nothing happens), and I can't delete them either! Even 'empty folders' doesn't work.
Does anyone know if there's a way of taking them out manually via explorer, or am I just stuck with them?
Thanks for any help

im having the same problem with my phone. i can send messages to deleted items but when i try to delete those althought they go away the number thats in deleted items shows in blue
Was having some issues with mms after flashing to htc wm6 rom a while ago, could not send/receive and had trouble deleting messages, so I decided to delete the cemail.vol for it to go back to default. Well after I deleted it and soft reset the phone, my mms folder had disappeared completely (can't even attach files in regular sms messages).
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Nevermind, I've hard reset the phone and got everything working again, did not want to go through this but oh well, thanks anyways.
Hi all -
I'm running Winner's pre-CM9 ROM (now on latest build) with Franco's milestone 2 kernel. The latest builds of the ROM are 4.0.4-based.
I had no problems on the previous versions, which were 4.0.3-based. A few days after upgrading to the 4.0.4-based versions (yes, I did do a full data/cache wipe first) and the 4.0.4 versions of the Google apps, someone tried to send me an MMS message. I have it set to auto-retrieve, but in this case it didn't. Tried to manually download it, and it failed. This has happened since with messages from other people from different carriers. If I try to SEND a pic via MMS, the app (stock Messaging app) just crashes. I can still receive regular text messages, but trying to delete some message threads causes the app to crash; some delete OK.
I'm assuming that I'm having problems with the database (/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db). I tried flipping the permission bits with Root Explorer, but that didn't change anything. Short of deleting and somehow recreating it (don't know if just "touching" the file will work) and losing all the data - is there anything else I can do to solve this?
Thanks!
Everything else is working fine.
Finally just deleted the database file (actually, just renamed and moved it) and it's working again, though I "lost" about 400K of data...the database file was somehow corrupted.
I have a Redmagic 6 Pro and just did a System Update to the latest OS - NX669J_UNCommon_V4.21.
Messages is now not showing Contact Names. Most of my contacts are setup with international Codes +XX. Messages is showing local number 0XX.
Is there a fix for this?
P.S. This has changed as there was no issue prior to the update.
I am having the exact same problem. Very frustrating. If anybody can find a fix it will be very much appreciated. If not hopefully they issue a patch to correct this problem sooner rather than later.
Is anyone else having this problem?
There were similar reports for other users back when Android 9 was released (on other devices).
If you haven't already, try clearing the cache of the messages app; if that doesn't work, try clearing data and cache (shouldn't affect you actual messages, but back up just in case) and finally, try uninstalling the last update to the app (if you can) and reinstall afterwards.
Also, make sure messages has permissions granted to access contacts. Make sure the international code is present in contacts phone numbers.
I don't have a RM6 (got 5G) - my spouse does but hasn't updated yet.
UPDATE: FOUND FIX.
1- In factory Contacts app, open advanced settings and export v.card back-up of contacts.
2- Clear data and cache in factory Contacts app, phone app, and messaging app.
3- Reboot phone.
4- In contact app, import v.card back-up to phone and default Gmail.
5- All should be good.
(Not all steps may be necessary.. it's just what I did to get things working).
Hey mate. Thanks for this. I actually cleared contact data and resynced back to my Google account and I think that also fixed it (for some reason I couldn't find the vcard after I exported).
Another issue I have noticed. If you get a Message from an unknown Contact you can Choose "Add Contact" but there is nowhere to add a new Contact, only to search and add to existing.
Thanks for your follow up.

Can confirm - clearing data on contact storage is all that's needed.
I am facing the same problem with calls. When i get call only numbers show but not names. , but after the call i can see it in history. Any recommendations?

I found the solution. I turned off the VOLTE and it is solved.
PSA I guess is what this might be, just had an issue with moving SMS's from one phone to the p6 and thought I'd share in case it helps someone else.
Been getting my phone set up and one of the things I did was use SMS Backup and Restore to back up the messages from my 2Xl over to the 6p. It was roughly 120K text messages over the last 4 years.
The import 'seemed' to go okay but it didn't. I don't know if its a volume/count issue or a android 12 issue or a p6 issue but the messages app was kind of fried after the import. It would freeze/hang, send messages into oblivion etc and had 6(ish) just blank icons and blank entry lines at the bottom of the text list that 'side flashed' like they were loading but never did. I let it sit for about 12 hours thinking it might be an index issue or something but it just never recovered. Sometimes I'd hit send and it would go out, other times I'd get the ding but it wouldn't show up on my side, and from what I can tell never went out. I tried to delete conversations and they'd sometimes disappear from the messages app but on a reboot they'd be back.
Best guess is the SMS database got jacked up by the restore and only a complete delete would fix it.
I then tried to use SMS Back up and Restore to delete the messages from the app using the feature under Tools in the app and it also just hung on "Deleting" and never finished after about 6 hours.
So... I ended up having to use a terminal to kill the smsmms.db and db-journal files out of the telephony folder, reboot, wipe messages cache and storage to clear it. I was just one step short of doing a firmware re-install with the -w option but this seems to have worked the way I expected.
If you have a need for this step for some reason, on a rooted phone, install any terminal app from the play store, run it and then type the below. The commands for those who are familiar with terminal is get superuser (you'll be prompted by Magisk to allow), change directory to the place where the SMS database files are stored, list the files there, I only had the two, remove each file.
su
cd data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/
ls
rm smsmms.db
rm smsmms.db-journal
Close the terminal.
Wipe Messages cache and storage.
Reboot.
You should now have a blank slate in the messages app.
Not ideal for me but I'm not sure yet if you can copy just individual threads over. I don't need all the "Hey you want to sell your house?" and "Medical coverage is going to expire" and "here's your MFA code" threads or threads from years ago.
All you need is SQLite to open the smsmms.db file and delete all the cruft
