SMS/MMS issues, Messaging shows wrong contact
Recently I have been getting an odd error.
When I get an SMS/MMS I grab my phone and look at the message preview on the lock screen, it shows who the message is from and the preview, like normal. BUT if I go to the messaging app, it will show the same message but it thinks that it came from another contact. This only happens with certain contacts. If I delete any of the message bubbles in the thread the contact information will change and show the correct contact name. It is a very odd bug/error and like I said doesnt always happen and not always on the same contact. I think the problem started when I tried to free up application data space when I started getting the popup that I couldnt download MMS because my memory was full. I have searched on here and other Meego/Maemo forums for similar issues, but no luck. Please help. |
Re: SMS/MMS issues, Messaging shows wrong contact
What did you do to free application data space? Uninstall programs the regular way, I guess?
I would guess there's a problem with tracker, which is too bad, since fixing tracker database problems is like equine medicine: shoot it. Which is to say doing a tracker database reset and killing all your contacts, messages, etc on the phone. Maybe someone else has a better idea, but I'm pessimistic. |

I think where it might have gone wrong is that I tried to delete everything in MMS. Most of my app data was being used up by my tons of email in the .qmf folder I might just do the tracker database reset. How do you do that? I remember seeing a thread about doing something along those lines in my search for the solution, but cant find it. I think I didnt bookmark or subscribe |

To reset the tracker:
Code:
tracker-control --soft-reset Code:
tracker-control --hard-reset |
This is a recurrent error which I avoid by deleting messages when there are to many. The only problem.... You practically won'thave a message history. Personally I just keep the most recent ones
