I had a stock 4.3 P601 which I upgraded to stock 4.4.2.then rooted with CF-Autoroot The upgrade was over OTA after removing root and the new firmware is ND6.
Everything works fine except for one weird problem. I cannot send texts through the stock message app. It opens fine, but the compose box is grayed out.
If I go to the settings to set it as the default messaging app, it does not appear in the list at all! The tablet can send and recieve texts just fine through third party apps like Go SMS, but just does not seem to recognise the stock app.
What could be causing this?
Did you try wiping the cache? If that doesn't help you could uninstall and reinstall the SMS app, apk should be located in system folder. Last resort would be wipe data and reflash through Odin.
Tried wiping cache and dalvik. No luck. Will probably just stay with a 3rd party app as re flashing seems too much of a pain.
Thanks for your suggestion.

I had used Athena for months and it worked fine, but I got a replacement phone this weekend after my AMOLED model broke and now I am having this issue with the Messaging apk. I haven't removed or changed any of the stock apps at this point so I know it's nothing that I did. I actually did a nand restore and went back to stock and tried re-installing Athena again without the soc. net. add-on and w/o the uncapped data mod and still did not work. I guess I could just install CM6.1, but I was enjoying athena at the moment. Anyone else encounter something like this or know how to fix it?
Your not by any chance reinstalling and application dats after the install are you?
I would try clearing the data and cache and see what it does.
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Messages
then locate clear data and cache. You will lose all messages but it may clear the problem.
I'm having a similar problem but not with the stock app. I'm running My Calculator (an SMS privacy app) and it FC's on every third or fourth incoming SMS. I've been working with the developer, sending logs and troubleshooting. So far it looks like something with the messaging apk but not sure yet.
If I come up with anything on my issue I'll share, maybe it will help with yours.
When all else fails, reflash
So I was using the rooted stock gingerbread rom and decided to flash CM7 to see what all the hype was about. I followed the steps outlined in the CM7 wiki, and the whole thing was a nightmare. constant FC messages and every time I tried to restore my apps via Mybackuproot I was unable to move anything to the SD card even after enabling app2sd in CM7.
I even went so far as to do a factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik and try reflashing. No dice. All I manged to do there was create a boot loop which forced me to do the whole process a second time.
I gave up and just decided to restore the nandroid backup I had made just a few days ago.
But now, I'm having issues with send and receiving items. I can receive e-mails but when I reply it's stuck in "sending"
Apparently I can send texts (sent one to a friend who said they got it) but I cannot receive them.
I updated prl and profile in the settings. Now i'm at a loss. How do I fix this??
You can rewipe everything and reflash the stock Rom that you were running before your "nightmare" journey,and see if that clears up your texting problem.
now the voices are in 3d
I went into the applications setting and cleared the data from the gmail app and from the hancent/stock text message settings.
I can now send e-mails, but I still can't receive text messages.
Before doing any of that I booted into recovery and did a factory wipe and cleared dalvik/cache again. I then reflashed my recovery.
Still not having luck with receiving messages. help!
bump?
I installed google voice and I'm now getting text messages through there, but my stock app/handcent still aren't getting anything incoming.
I cleared the cache and force closed both programs, I made sure sync was enabled. I'm a loss here

did you go into mobile network settings and make sure you didn't uncheck boxes there?
Need help with MMS. The app stopped working and I am unable to receive or send MMS. When I try to open the MMS app it opens, but the main body area is black, then it crashes and closes with the "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped." error.
I'm not sure when this exactly happened. I was on the stock rom, then used the non-flash counter root method and stopped without installing CWM. I thought everything was working properly and I did some data restores of my Titanium back-up. The later might have been the cause of the problems, but I have read that a this issue comes up with not clearing the cache when flashing a new rom (didn't do this, just odin'ed a root injected rom). I'm travelling so I am very hesitant to do a factory reset or new rom flash.
I also had the Unfortunately the Outlook service has stopped problem, but I fixed that by clearing out Cache and Data in the Applications settings menu for the mail client. I tried that with the MMS app and it didn't fix the problem.
I also check the permissions and owner for the secmms.apk and secmms.odex files and the are correct. I tried downloading a secmms.apk, but I am not sure if it is the right file, especially since it didn't have an odex file with it. That didn't fix the problem.
Update: Restoring from TiBack-up didn't help. Also tried restoring mmsprovisioning. I'm overseas so I have mobile data off and using WiFi. Does this impact MMS, e.g. need to have mobile data networks on to get MMS or MMS not working with WiFi?
Can anyone suggest a fix for this, e.g. send me the right secmms files? Does flashing CWM and doing a cache wipe help and will this erase all my files? How about restoring my full MMS back-up from Titanium back-up? Any help is appreciated.
You restored some backups from Titanium? Of /data?
I thought that the no trip root method avoided overwriting /data, meaning there was no need to restore anything? Maybe that's the reason you're seeing your MMS app fail?

I think the problem was with the titanium backup restores. So avoid restoring data on the mms or email.
I could not find a fix and ended up doing a factory data reset from the settings menu. After reboot everything was working fine.
Hello! Yesterday I decided to update my OP3 to the latest version, and as usual, I rooted it and restored with titanium backup. Everything went as usual, but today I decided to send a SMS and the stock app kept crashing, so I tried to use messenger (from Facebook) it crashed when I enabled SMS.
Later, I searched about this and found that i needed to clean data and cache, but when I checked on the application section I had none, the cache and data were empty.
I've already tried to use 3rd party apps to send messages, but all crashed the same way as the stock.
How can I fix this? I don't want to factory reset again my phone, is a pain to restore the data.

Thats been an issue with the OTA updates. Seems not to work right (never advised anyone to do ota as a single millisecond of data loss causes issues)
You may have to end up Factory resetting. Also TIBU messes up google messaging service so you will end up with apps not giving notifications properly.

People have said that reinstalling the apps without wiping the data works. I just set everything up again. But then I like most developers use less then 10 apps on our devices other then the stock apps.

Ok. I'll try a factory reset and reinstaliing the apps without TiBu. I'll get back to you when I finish this.
It worked, thanks!

I have been using Messages 5.0 on my Galaxy S8+ (no root) for a while now, and I decided I wanted to go back to the stock version that came with the phone. So i uninstalled the updates and I got back to the stock version, but for some reason I cannot send text messages. When I press the "send" button, the message in the box literally just disappears. The thing is, when i go back to the Messages 5.0, it works perfectly fine, and using another messaging app such as Google Messages works fine as well. I have already rebooted the device, wiped the cache on my phone, cleared cache from the stock messages , and cleared the data from the stock messages. I do not want to factory reset because it is pretty unnecessary for a minuscule problem. Any help is appreciated because this is frustrating me and I cannot find any other threads anywhere that discuss this issue.
