Since the Signal application does not allow to send SMS anymore, I use the native application to send messages.
The old sent messages have been synchronized in the application and allow to continue the exchanges started without any problem.
But it’s impossible for me to send new messages to a new contact: indeed when I select a contact in the list, the application automatically sends me back to the list of contacts (This turns into a loop)
I 've clear cache and data of the message application but it did not change anything.
Using the default SMS app if I start a “new” SMS using the + in lower right corner … I am presented with a contacts list … I can enter a phone number … it might be an existing contact, or I might enter a “new number” … now I can compose or send an SMS.
Thanks for your answer but it’s exactly what i’am doing. But after typing a number and selecting it, nothing happens => It returns on the list of contact …
I wonder if one or more messages although apparently saved are in fact in some way “impossible” and are compromising Message ?
To test this you might create a backup with Backup&Restore. Does this succeed ?
Now you could consider Delete data from Message app. Does Message work now ? Can the backup now be restored ?
Edit. In my experience backups from QKSMS and Message are interchangeable. If following this route, I might also install QKSMS and be prepared to run it alongside Messages. This way backups would be tested with minimum risk of loss of data.
Unfortunately, I have tried to delete everything, empty the data, start from a clean application but I still have the same behavior. Impossible to get “the compose” view when selecting a contact.
I also tried to install QKSMS but I have exactly the same behavior
Sorry to dig this old topic out but I have the exact same problem on a Oneplus 6t running e/os 2.9
I can send sms using conversations already started but I am completely unable to start a new conversation even if I select a contact from my contact list. When I try to send the sms, the entire message is deleted and I am back to a blank message.
In addition, I don’t receive sms from numbers that are not in my contact list.
I have tried several sms apps and I have the same problem.
The problem is the same with 2 different sim cards from 2 different operators
Hi, i’m having a similar problem here. One of my contact won’t stay in the message history, which means that i don’t receive any notif coming from it and each time i want to send a message i need to go reach it using the plus in the bottom left corner. Quite a pain…
qksms interfaces with Androids com.android.providers.telephony that manages the sms (in a mmssms.db) - you could either inspect that internal state & repair or export messages (repair that export?), purge all sms state (not enough to purge qksms data) and start clean or reimport
The bug reports I could find had fixing attempts looking at thread-ids:
Hi,
Thank you
I was able to export all my messages and restore them on another phone. However on my OnePlus with e/os, after deleting all the messages and empty storage and cache from Message app I am not able to reimport the messages. On my message app I could no longer send any sms.
is the qksms upstream apps behaving any different than Messages after import? in doubt, start clean I guess?
I don’t know - I think you can see it when going through the data either in mmssms.db or the qksms json export: any rows (for the sqlite file) or json objects that have the “address” identifier missing or empty.
When I try to import the messages in qksms, they don’t appear at the end of the import process. I just have the synchronisation bar that is indefinitely moving. It looks like the app is not able to sync.
Basically, it seems that all sms apps I try are unable to create a new conversation (regardless if I am creating a conversation, receiving a sms from a new number or importing conservation from backup file)
hmmm, do you have a history of preserving your userdata when downgrading? and/or prior re-imports of sms data? frankly I’d just start clean, ultima ratio resetting userdata
What I read online, users say resetting (as in delete, let telephony recreate) mmssms.db doesn’t help - though I think those users are unfamiliar with checking faulty secontexts.
