Carrier is Telus.
I had the phone rooted (After ota) but put it back to stock since via odin / factory reset.
Ever since I got my OTA in december. I cannot send or receive pictures in any 3rd party app. I've tried chomp, handsent and gosms. The native app works fine.
As soon as the app goes to load the picture it force closes the app. Changing the setting for retrieve automatically makes no difference.
Is there some settings I might be missing? As far as I know I haven't changed anything.
NOTE: I should also note that once I download the picture in the native app it loads perfectly fine in the 3rd party apps.

Could very well be from Telus if you're using their bloated firmware.

using the newest version on Fresh. Everything great except when i open the stock messaging app. the app itself is quick but when i compose a new message it takes forever for the evo to recognize the name from my contacts.
Anyone have this experience. Is there a fix?
I would say to wipe data/ cache and try again. Do a nandroid and or titanium backup first.
Also you can try an alternate messaging app to see if you got the same issue. To me handcent is very impressive and many users seems to use it over the stock HTC app...
Good luck
I am also having issues with any messaging app being incredibly slow, almost unusable. I had been using fresh and when i updated to the newest froyo version this all came about. Once in the messaging app any action takes 5-6 seconds to result in completion. I was using chomp and the native app seems to respond better but not by much.
been using handcent for the past couple months. i know how to turn the notifications off of the stock sms app so that handcent would be the only messaging app that would give me notifications. recently the stock sms app has been shooting out the notifications so i turn them off but i keep getting the notifications from it. has anyone run into this problem??
Have you tried force closing the stock messaging app? Try that and if you can, clear the default, then go to your people/contact app and select "send text message" at that point, it should ask you which one you want to use by default, select handcent...and we'll see where it goes from there.
thanks but i just tried that and it changed nothing. one thing i noticed is when i force closed the messaging app it took me to the adw launcher. im using launcherpro plus as my default home. whenever i force close anything it takes me to adw. this happened to me last night after i downloaded some apps from the applanet app so i did a nandroid restore this morning to go back to a few days ago. again i went to the applanet market and downloaded a couple apps. im not sure if its the applanet itself or if its something i got off there that would change the messaging app settings
I'm getting multiple instances of the stock messaging app showing in my recent apps menu. This appears to be the only app I've found thus far doing it. Any help here?
I recently was using Textra, and had the stock messaging app frozen via TiBu (Rooted using the low effort root method) in the meantime. Uninstalled Textra and defrosted stock messenger app and that's when this started. It was not doing it before I started using Textra. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Also have noticed it only does it if I open the app via the home screen, not if I open the app via the lock screen shortcut I have, or via the status bar when I get a text, or via the popup notification. Only if I open the app via the home screen (Using Nova Launcher FWIW)
Tried clearing cache, data, and rebooting with no result.
Haalllp!!!
Update:
I just KDZ'd back to stock and it is still doing it. No one else has this happening or has seen it and knows how to stop it?
Can anyone confirm Messenger working on a stock Lollipop ROM? My 851 can take pictures and videos from within the app but always fails when sending. The stock app and Textra work fine but GM is my favorite. I evewn tried installing older versions but still no dice. TIA

On a LG D693, yes, it works.
Have you tried installing the Google Camera app and making it the default camera app? This usually fixes that whole pictures/video crashing thing that happens with GM. Another thing, are you sending videos/photos to the External SD card?
I tried Google Camera which works fine but doesn't fix the Messenger issue. Messenger isn't crashing just won't send any type of attachment, internal to the app or external, it just says re-trying but fails. It will send a regular sms text. And I am using internal storage
So this happened after the app update...wtf is this?
I have this same problem. I've noticed that it happens after I've used the Amazon music app. The only fix I've found was to force stop the Amazon music app and it clears these blank messages. I'm now on Android 8.0.0 and had this issue as well with the latest Android version 7, I was on. I have the Pixel 128gb on Verizon.
Its a problem with android messages
Yeah, I don't think it has anything to do with the Amazon music app running in the background anymore. Previously, when I saw the prompt that Amazon music was running in the background, if I started the messenger app, I got those blank threads and as soon as I force stopped Amazon music, the blank threads disappeared. Now, they stay and just go away on its own. Even with the recent update to messenger 2.5.211, it still does it.
It's definitely an issue with messenger.

Did you ever find a fix for this? I'm having the same issue.
I have this problem also after restoring the sms with the sms backup and restore. Basically the messages are there but I can't see them, only those ghost threads/messages and I cannot scroll down on the message list to see more of them.
same problem. here is what i did.
I downloaded hangouts and manually set it as default app for sms.
Then i opened up hangouts and went through all the threads that messenger wouldnt show.
Then i went back and forced stopped messenger, cleared data, and set it back as default.

Unfortunately the hangouts is not supporting sms anymore and is though unable to be set as a default sms app.

i have no idea why i had typed hangouts, must have been late. i meant to say verizon messages.
I got it working. Just disable the messages app and choose yes when it asks if you want to go back to factory app. Then clear cache and data and enable the app again. Then you can view all the messages. After this updating the app through play store is also safe and the messages remain visible.
