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

Hi,
my One X fell into water for one second. Unfortunatelly it damaged wifi card. When I try to switch it on, it says error. I've decided to give up on wifi and use only mobile network data connection.
My problem is that I cannot download some play store applications, even the small ones like facebook messenger. Also instant messaging doesn't work, no matter what app I use (fb messenger, go chat, google talk, skype...). I don't have this problem when I put my SIM card to my older Desire HD or Lumia 820. Even when wifi is off, IM works fine and I have no problems downloading apps from store. Funny thing is that browsing, emails, facebook, youtube or downloading of some apps works fine.
It doesn't seem like a HW issue to me, so I've tried to reset to factory settings. Didn't help.
Then I've tried to root my phone a try different ROM. I've tried many ROMs but I always get stucked when UI is about to load with error message "the process com.android.phone has stopped". The only ROM that seems to work is stock ROM, when I restore backup.
Do you have any ideas?? What can I do to make IM and app store working and also flash custom ROM. Thanks.
Did you flash the correct boot.img from the rom.zip? Which rom did you try?
Having some problems with some apps on this tablet....mainly instagram instantly closes and says encountered a problem. flipboard will load text but no pictures...engadget freezes and crashes to name a few (obviously hbogo etc. aren't updarted yet for 4.3, but instagram?) . Am I the only one? I thought it was from my tibu backup from my phone, but formatted after I rooted and installed direct from play store and still same issue.
Flipboard is working fine for me.

Instagram and flipboard both work fine for me
So any ideas? Have tried stock clean ROM paranoid android all same thing and all with clean installs. Instagram instantly says unfortunately instagram has stopped
I use Textra as my SMS app. On 4.4.4 Kit Kat, my AT&T Note 4 displayed contact pics pulled from Facebook in Textra. Yesterday, I updated, then factory reset the phone, then reinstalled all of my apps. Now Textra will not show any contact pictures, just their initials. The pis do come up in the contacts app and the Messages app.
I know that there was an issue with 3rd party apps having difficulty using facebook photos. But I thought that was an old issue. On Kit Kat, with no root or extra apps, Textra worked fine on my Note 4.
Have I missed a setting somewhere?

There were some strange problems with contact pictures not syncing on the nexus 5 and 6 on 5.0.1. The 5.1 update fixed these.
Not sure if this is the same problem, but thought i'd mention.
I use Textra as well and my Facebook contact photos show up just fine. You might have to relink your contacts or sync again in the Facebook app

FIXED!
I uninstalled Textra; and then reinstalled it. It is now working perfectly with all of the contact pics now showing.
Last night, I set up FB after using Textra. So I guess that was the problem. Good to know in case anyone else runs in to the problem.
Wondering if anyone else encountered this problem. I am no longer able to reply to text messages via the Zenwatch. Cards are only being presented like regular cards with only the options to open the app on the phone or block it. This is now happening using the native message app and GoSMS. I've tried resetting the watch and everything. Anyone experience this and was able to fix it?

I had the same problem. I downloaded Google messenger and now everything works fine.

Does Messenger have to be your default app?
I believe so.
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.
