N9 SMS Malfunction

Hey guys, I once posted about this but can't seem to find the thread. This didn't bother me much but recently I've heard enough.

Basically.... When I receive SMS's sometimes the phone doesn't seem to know from whom it comes from, EG, Peter sends me an SMS, on the home screen it shows Peter, you then tap on the notification and the message with Peter name comes up Blank, then you go to the Messages App and U see that U have a new message from Jack, you open the message and there is Peter's message under Jack's name. Now this gets more annoying when you receive a message from a number that's not stored in the phone, and it goes under Peter's name, the message is requesting that U call back when you do decide to call you end up calling Peter instead of the right person because the sender's number is gone. Any resolution to this?

Re: N9 SMS Malfunction

and your not running any tweak applications like faster N9, which can kill tracker processes and mess up the sms databases?

Re: N9 SMS Malfunction

Probadly related to this nasty bug :(

http://harmattan-bugs.nokia.com/show_bug.cgi?id=113

You probadly should reply about it there with good info. But avoid stupid comments like "Please fix this ASAP, this is frustrating" blablabla.... Cause that will probadly not help anyone. And we already knows Harmattan team is VERY limited team. And readed a tweet today that yet some more Meego/Linux teams has know left Nokia :(

Informative how it happens is way better.

I agree with rainisto,

I personally ended up in this step after some days of usage without problems.

Even I am sure FasterN9 caused the problem (never have this problem before installation of FastnerN9), it look like this tracker database update/management/stability need a serious revamp of code ...

I read in many threads here at TMO troubles about the tracker database corrupted randomly without logical explanation imho ...

Re: N9 SMS Malfunction

i have also seen this:

You receive a message
you can see it in the lock screen
You swipe.
empty chat window
You receive the same sms again,
swipe and there is nothing there.
And again the same situation. Suddenly the message apears.

Clearing cache and deleting messages only barely helps.

Re: N9 SMS Malfunction

damn! yesterday I had this issue. I deleted all conversations and it is working then. after going through this thread and the comments in bug description, this bug is hard to reproduce.

in my case this happened for the first time. as far as i remember this happened to me, when the messages application is open and I received message alert on status bar and I clicked on the alert and found that message window is blank

I'm going to reproduce by sending multiple messages when messages app is open. lets see!

Re: N9 SMS Malfunction

Re: N9 SMS Malfunction

Tracker has been a nightmare since back when I had the N900.

Conversations used to just disappear, and then when sending a text it would say Sending forever and never send, then closing the convo and reopening would not show your sent texts..

Same kinda weirdness occurs in the N9. One thing I wish Nokia had more thoroughly tested when under intense situations (lots of texts coming in over an hour period) ect.

What happened to yours? Can you give all details? We can try to fix it without resetting tracker...

Re: N9 SMS Malfunction

I have solved this. I found the instructions on how to do it in the bug report thread.

The problem is solved by reinstalling the firmware. Note that just upgrading it via the program manager in MeeGo doesn't work.

Download the firmware to your computer with "NaviFirmEx". Make sure that you download the apropriate firmware for your N9.
Then install it on the phone with "Flasher".

The aim is to attempt to solve issues not only without doing a reflash but also not resetting tracker...

AFAIK not yet. This bug is as old as harmattan and no one found a fix or at least the reason for the problem. And sadly it seems no one found out, where and how SMS are stored, so it is quite hard to investigate.

What i wanted to try, when i get the problem next time is N9QT -> SMS-Backup -> delete all SMS -> and SMS-reimport, maybe this could help, but i did not have the problem since i deleted all SMS last time (about a week ago). Maybe you can try...

Re: N9 SMS Malfunction

Well this problem is in my doter's secondhand N9 (my unit newer had this) so I am not modifying this for now.

I have deleted all SMS messages an now three latest SMS came right but I am afraid this happens again. Phone is synkin contacts to Nokia account daily, can that be part of this problem?

That's what i thought, but no. He used the "Backup Framework", so no need to know where they are really stored.
This script is integrated into N9QT:

So, if anyone found out, where SMS are stored, please share your knowledge :)

reboot does not help

tracker-stats
says:

Quote:

Meego Could not get Tracker statistics, .... database disk image is malformed

and I deleted

Quote:

/home/user/.cache/tracker/meta.db

then rebooted the device

everything becomes normal despite that I lost 200+ sms !
