Stock messaging app force closes help - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Done a search of course it's difficult to find exactly what I want. I'm using randomrom right now was using srf Roms for awhile had the same issues...
Last night my messaging app mms.apk kept force closing and I was unable to open my messages at all. Normally this occurred whenever I would delete a message for some reason and I have no idea for that reason.
Once it did that I tried to reserved everything thru settings - applications - messaging - clear data and that didn't work. The only thing that worked was rebooting into clockwork and reflashing....
Does anyone know the reason for this? It happens on every Rom for some reason...
Does it have to do with my root? Is it a bad root? Or what's the dealio?
Thanks in advance!

Do you have journaling enabled? If not you might want to try that. If it is enabled I am at a lose.

[Q] Messaging App Routing Problem.

Tried googling around and wasn't successful; maybe I just used the wrong tags..anyways
I've noticed this issue quiet a while back and never thought of it; but recently it seems to of been getting worse..no Idea why because I haven't changed my setup
But; what happens is if I send a text message then open up another app; I.e browser, irc, ect, ect.. then press the back button when I go to open up my messaging app again to reply or send out another text it'll open up the previous app I just backed out of.
This is seriously annoying because I can't get to my text messaging threads at all and have yet to find a work around to fix this except rebooting.
I've tried clearing cache and that hasn't seemed to work. If anyone has any other ideas i'll be glad to test and report back.
Nothing? Nice help guys

[Q] Sms Force Close when i try to open it.

So this has probably been posted somewhere and im probably breaking some moral codes of the forum... and yeah im my world is going to literally fall apart if my problem doesnt get solved and its THE MOST important post on the forum just like every other post.
but. Im running SyndicateRom frozen 1.1.0 and i started getting these google.framework yadda yadda force closes....those are not so much the problem but annoyances.
My problem is that i go to boot my phone this morning... notice theres no new texts...which i expected at least one. go to open the messaging and BAM forceclose. no options to wait. the menu only flashes saying fc and sends me back to homescreen. after a while a little 9 appears over the messaging. Idc if i have to reflash my whole phone....i just want those 9 messages how can i retrieve them?
or rather is there a place in the phone where the sms' are stored in which i can back up to a compy and view or in the phone after a reflash it?
im desperate with curiosity. i never get 9 messages and they may be important.
TL: DR Messaging FC. want messages i received before wiping.

Have you tried to go to settings -> applications -> manage and clear data for your SMS app?
Yeah... it was to no avail
Grab an SMS app like Handcent from the Market.
I have a feeling your /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db is jacked. See if u can open it. This is where all ur txts are stored.

i got as far as /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony and nothing shows up after that?
If you cleared the data/cache for the messaging app and it's still happening you're probably gonna have to re-flash. This happened to me once and that was my only fix. You can try backing up the messages in Titanium but if you're getting force closes I don't know if that'll help.
I am having the same issue as well. I am running syndicate rom frozen 1.1.0 with the vision kernal 1.1. A few days after The first time I flashed the rom and kernal I got the numerous force closes. So I wipe the device, cache and dalvik reflashed the rom and kernal but I only restored my apps with data using titanium backup and not the system data. Now I am just getting the force close with my messages.
i ran into this and was instructed by our wonderful mod to go advanced>fix permissions in cwm. worked beautifully, and i was just about to wipe everything
I did this...then everything died.
Once i booted back up EVERYTHING and its mother started FCing from launcher pro to keyboard to google framework to clocks....everything.
I had no choice but to reflash. Fingers crossed this round.

Sounds like bad data. I had this same exact thing happen to me. I was being a lazy ass and not shutting down properly before switching batteries. I reflashed SFR 1.1.0 and shut down properly now and have not had a problem since. Maybe a similar scenario is corrupting your data.

Thanks for this. My gf started to freak out when this started to happen to her was thinking flash was only way to fix. I ran fix permissions in cwm and now working again no reflash! Saved the day
Find and flash the journal on zip to decrease the chances you will get this again. It usually caused by an improper shutdown.including running the battery all the way down.

[BUG] issues with SMS resending itself after reboot

When turning the phone off and then on, the camera flashes a light several times and it automatically sends previous text messages sent by me to other people again. Why is this hapenning? Can someone please post a solution?? Thanks!
this is actually a known issue
it seems to be a system bug
you can try flashing another ROM, or simply wiping the stock ROM and start from scratch
[Q] issues with SMS resending itself after reboot
I have been having a strange issue recently.
When I reboot my phone, the text messages that I have recently sent are being resent to my contacts, sometimes the messages are resent multiple times. It happens sporadically.
Anyone else have this issue?

I've never experienced this issue. Are you using a 3rd party SMS app? What rom is this issue happening on?

Are you using handcent? This specific issue is why I quit using handcent. If not, then I dunno, that's weird.

switch and use Go SMS
problem solved
hey! thanks for the reply. I tried flashing some different roms but the issue still persists. even though its not every time i restart my phone, it still happens randomly and its very annoying since people always reply back saying why are u sending me old text messages? So what do you suggest i do? I am currently on TricH's rom. how can i completely wipe the stock rom and start from scratch? please let me know! thanks.
which SMS app are you using?
the stock one that comes with TricH's rom
hmm... probably you might be better off using another ROM or a stock ROM just to see if there's any difference?
i have already tried other roms such as the beast rom but the issue still persist. even when i was on the stock rom, the issue was still there. Do you think there is a way to remove the stock sms app completely from the phone and then maybe i can download a 3rd party app?
i have been having the exact same issue. it started while i was on the stock telus rom, i then switched to the best rom and the issue was still occuring. I am now on the bombardier rom and the issue was gone for a couple of days and now when i restarted the phone, the issue occured again. so i dont know what is causing this problem. if someone knows a fix to this issue please help!
you can use TI to freeze it
Link2SD also has the Frezing option
This was happening to me. I narrowed my problem down to media scan looping, especially if you're getting it on a nandroid restore.
merged both topics, just noticed you 2 and a few other people you also have the exact bug
Had a thought... do you have any texts stored on your sim card?
nope nothing stored on my sim card.
ok so i think I may have found the solution to the issue:
i installed titanium backup pro then used it to backup and freeze the stock messaging app. I then rebooted the phone so the messaging icon disappeared from the phone. I then installed go sms pro from the market and using it as my default sms app. Tried rebooting phone after that and it has not been resending text messages so far.
*fingers crossed* hope this solves the issue for good! will update if issue persists.

FC22 and FC24 "Contacts" app not responding well

I've been using the FC24 and also I've tried the FC22 ICS builds. Overall they're pretty good besides the aforementioned notification issues, some general lagginess around the UI and VPN not connecting (for me). GPS has been great.
The one thing that has been a show stopper for me is the Contacts App being very unresponsive. If you click on it, it'll go to the first page and nothing will load. I'm also having problems with my Groups appearing. If I can't get these to load, then I can't contact people very quickly.
Are others seeing this? Any tips?
I have tried TWlauncher and the regular Launcher (no difference). I've tried FC22 and FC24 (currently on FC24) and no difference. I've synced, then unsynced my LinkedIN and Facebook contacts (that seem to minorly help).
I'm probably going back to the EL29 and just flash the FC24 modem, although I like the ICS features if they all worked.
(sorry for the new thread, but the FC thread is too long for people to use anymore [plus its largely off topic now] and searching got me no where)
So for me on the goodness 3.1 with the AOSP contact app I get FC's all the time for acore. I am just going to put up with it till the final release since I have this rom all fixed up to my liking. But with your issue and what I'm seeing it rally seems like something deeper then the contact app, maybe the contact storage is the issue.
That's disappointing. It seems to be able to load an individual contact just fine if you search or if you place a contact on your home screen through the widgets menu, but the groups are a no go for me. Even if you access the groups through an app like Handcent (which uses a hybrid of the normal groups and handcent's own display).
I had the same problem on early builds.

Was a solution ever found to this, I'm having a similar problem on an FD24 rom that I just flashed and have had it on every other rom I've tried for the last two weeks as well, basically my contacts aren't responding at all starting about 15 minutes after I flash the rom, freezes as soon as I open the contacts app and contact widgets are non-responsive as well...it's happening with using romtoolbox to restore apps and just doing a complete fresh install of all apps from the market
very frustrating and I'm kind like reddragon in that I have everything else set up exactly as I want it now, except this issue
My wife's contacts did the same on FD24 and continued when I upgraded to FD26 without wiping data. To fix it I just backed up everything with Titanium and used sfhub's One Click odin FD26 that wipes data. Now, contacts works fine and I restored her apps no problem.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Yes. It's a Festivus miracle! FD26 (and FD24) fixed this.
If it happens again, you can clear the contacts storage in the Applications menu. Then let everything resync.
FD26 is something special. I have yet to find a bug (that affects me).

Messages App Issues

Hi guys, looking for a little help here. I have the Koodo Galaxy S2x, and I just rooted it yesterday using Odin and such. I've noticed that since I've done this, I have an issue with ny messages app once in a while. I'll open the app, and its as if i deleted my inbox-no messages-when I know I haven't. I can't recieve or send any texts while in this state. It seems I can go to my task killer and clear my RAM, and that solves the issue (temporarily). Has anyone experienced this? Its really annoying to have to constantly check my inbox to make sure its still working correctly...I'm running stock, by the way. Thanks guys.
P.S- Shortly after rooting, I switched from the stock Touchwiz launcher to Launcher 8. Could it be an issue with the launcher, rather than rooting?
Sent from my SGH-T989D using xda app-developers app
Back up any important apps/data (Titanium Backup), flash back to stock Koodo 4.0.4 ROM via Odin. Do not apply any root and use the default launcher. See if the problem still occurs, since it's a clean flash it shouldn't. Then go ahead and re-install any of the stuff you had backedup, recommend individually to check if it's a particular app that caused conflict.
Ahh, i was hoping I could avoid having to flash and restore everything, but if all else fails, thats what I'll do. I uninstalled Launcher 8 this morning and so far haven't encountered the issue again, so I'm crossing my fingers that the app was the issue. I'm thinking it was something to do with the way the launcher reads any unread texts and displays the number on the messages tile. Of course, I could be wrong.
