I've been trying to find a solution having searched all over and only seeing posts related to a couple 3rd party SMS apps I don't use and google voice which I don't use. This began to happen with CM7 (I'd post in it's thread but can't because I don't have 10 posts yet). Even though I backed up the voicemail app from stock ROM and restored to CM7 and it is working and retrieves my voicemails. On all previous custom ROMs this didn't happen. So I don't know why it is now and would like to stop the SMS messages since the one notification from the voicemail app is enough. The most recent thread is old enough it didn't make sense to resurrect it so I figured a new thread was better. Not much detail in the thread. So I don't even know if any of the replies were actual solutions or just guesses.

Hey everyone,
I'm running Synergy RLS1, and have a quick question regarding the SMS/MMS apk. I know on the stock ROM, there's a setting to set a conversation limit that will auto-delete old texts as new texts come in, but it's completely missing in the Synergy ROM.
Unless it's been moved to some obscure settings menu...? I'm thinking flashing a stock 3.0 mms.apk would bring the menu back, but I'm not sure.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Nate
Bump for some help!
Bump again...
Huge sms threads slow the whole ROM down. Where is this option?
delete SMS automaticaly
Did you ever find your answer, I am interested in the same option. Like you can't find it anywhere. I might have to flash a different ROM as well, I have a few threaded conversations that I restored that are several thousands messages. Not good for performance.
I really like the Synergy - Sense 3.0 interface, I have decided that I will just download an App from the market to delete the messages in batches. There are several that will batch delete text messages, based on several conditions. I like the simple 300 conversation limit, gives me good performance and since I automatically backup my text messages with another App, if I need to reference my messages, I can just log into my Gmail account.
This will allow me to use the Synergy ROM.
Hi all
I'm having a problem with receiving duplicate text messages on my evo. I searched around the forums to see if anybody else was reporting the same problem and I didn't find any threads that seemed to match my issue, though it's possible i've missed some (The search on this site, i've found, is not particularly good).
Please note that this is NOT a notification problem where i'm getting notifications from Handcent and the Stock app. This is literally two identical text messages appearing in HandCent (and stock when I look at it), usually one right after the other.
I have an Evo 4G running EvolvedRom 2.3.3 from June (with the update released in July installed), using Handcent for texts (latest updates). I'd say it started happening about a month ago, although it could be longer, and has been progressively getting worse as time goes by. It's at the point now where 90% of the messages I receive are duplicated, including MMS.
The phones sending the messages include other Evos, Epic 4G, Android phones on Verizon, iPhones on AT&T, featurephones, and I think a blackberry (not sure carrier). Good Voice texts that forward to my phones SMS also duplicate.
I've tried to include as much possibly relevant information as I could think of. I'm trying to avoid having to do a hard reset, but if that's the only solution so be it.
If anybody also has this or has any ideas for a solution, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
I've noticed an issue on my Galaxy Nexus (Stock Rooted 4.0.4, VZW) where randomly a text message will disappear.
I don't have any idea what is causing it and its so sporadic, it happens maybe once every 1,000 texts.
The only way I know I'm even missing a text is if I see it appear in the notification bar but not be there when I go into the messaging app (Using stock messaging) or, because I have mightytext installed, I'll see the message forwarded to my browser but I'll notice its gone from my phone.
I was able to pull a logcat after it happened most recently, so if someone thinks they would be able to decipher some information from it, let me know.
I'm posting because I'm wondering if I'm the only one seeing this issue or if others are in the same boat.
Thanks in advance and let me know if anyone would like some more info...I've been trying to nail this thing down for months now.
You're welcome to put it up on pastebin or something and post it, but I would first eliminate MightyText as the first possible problem. Uninstall it and see if it still happens.
I had the same problem when still on 4.0.2 stock, unrooted. Only ever used the stock messaging app. It happened very sporadic, with the same symptoms you described.
Messages popped up in notification bar but could be nowhere to be found in messages app.
Since upgrading to 4.0.4 it never happened again, or at least I didn't notice.
As you are on 4.0.4 already, that's probably not comforting.

Yeah, it happens so infrequently that I'm not surprised you haven't noticed it since updating, but nice to know someone else has the same issue.
Do you have mighytext installed or can we rule that out as a culprit?
Do you have any SMS Backup applications installed?
If not, I recommend the "SMS Backup +" by Jan Berkel.
Works amazing on my ICS.
Does backups of SMS, MMS and Call Logs (if you want.)
Yes, I do have that installed, but thats not really relevant to the issue I described here.
Thanks.

Sorry - I realized I never finished my train of thought. Got "distracted" as someone walked into my office.
To continue, when your texts disappear from your phone, do they also disappear from your Gmail SMS label?
As per every 1000 texts - I assume you get a TON of texts per day?
I ask - because my cousin who is a promoter also gets/sends 1000's of text messages a week, and he made a funny comment yesterday about how some of his incoming texts "vanished."
He doesn't have SMS Backup+, so I couldn't verify it for him at the time. I'm wondering if you and him have the same problems?
Regards,

I also have SMS Backup + installed, but not Mighty text. When a disappearing text arrived, it never even had a time to kick in, even though I'm on wifi and it's said to backup upon arrival. The text is just gone, right after the notification vanishes.
But hard to investigate as it happens really very sporadic... And yup, I get hundreds of messages each day in a developing country, where sometimes also sms are not delivered, so everybody knows and it's not that big of a problem.

I seem to be having a random problem with my GS3. For random contacts my SMS will create multiple threads for the same person and it gets annoying because I will have like 20 different threads for the same conversation. I tried searching but didn't come up with anything and was just wondering if this is something that has a fix or if its something that I just can't do anything about. Thanks.
I see this happen when I have a ton of messages, with that contact or otherwise. Try emptying your inbox and starting with a clean slate
I have this same issue with just ONE person. And we have no messages between eachother. It does it on a totally stock restored phone...
It seems to me that the sms program doesn't consolidate phone numbers with the International prefix with those that don't have the prefix. If you have multiple syncing with different services it can have variations of the same numbers. This can be exacerbated by people who have multiple mobile phones or things like Google or skype numbers.
I have to sit down and consolidate all my contacts because I have way too many valid instances of a large number of them.

Mine did this when I restored SMS using SMS backup+... after installing a new ROM and receiving some texts immediately after the install. I ended up with pre-restore and post restore threads for from the same person, instead of SMS backup simply adding the old messages to the existing thread.

I also have a lot of friends who uses different numbers to send sms from...and how hard can it be to fix google?! Just use contacts instead of numbers to locate what thread the sms should go in?!!?!
One workaround is to install contacts+. The have figured out how to solve this but not google?!
Typing handycent and go sms here to so they might find this thread and copy contacs+ in this matter
Hello,
I had a quick look through old post and only one person pointed the problem and nobody answered with a solution
How do you access the previsou sms already received?
I can see every sms popping on my watch, I can answer them. But if I want to read previous ones or a different thread I can't find find any access to it. I don't see any way of doing it?
No icons on the list of app. no proposition of seeing sms when choosing a contact.
I installed different sms reader on my phone, all compatible with wear, with no differences.
It has to be possible, I can't believe this function does not exist.
Thanks for helping me.
Vincent
Have you tried Hangouts?
I use Wear Messenger and you can scroll through previously received messages (at least those you received since installing the app)
