Lollipop 5.1.1 Messaging app contains a wizard?

Hello

Once the upgrade to lollipop 5.1.1 my Xperia Z3 comapct shows something like an assistant when I start the messaging application, that I've never seen in earlier versions.

Background: because of the stagefright bug I'm very careful when it comes to read/open the SMS/MMS. So I was caught by surprise when I received a TEXT Message last weekend and could not read / open it because when I start the im app mail redirected to a kind of Wizard (fullscreen). I have never seen this behavior of the mail before application. I didn't know what to do and I do not insist on the button "first steps". Instead I called my provider and Sony support and they are all suspect that what I see is not an assistant of Sony, but a kind of malware that infected my phone. Hotliners Sony has recommended a backup of my personal data and subsequently a reset to the factory settings. But that has no effect. After reset messaging shows the "assistant" even after the start. So also, I used Sony PC Companion (module "Support area") software to fix my phone. It took about an hour, but the result is the same. Although assistant appears after messaging app starts. I have a chance to see the list of received messages or enter the settings of the e-mail application, the only thing I can do is press the button "first steps" that "Wizard".

So either there is a wizard in the hat lollipop 5.1.1 messaging application appears only once after startup and hotliners of Sony don't know nothing about it or I really some malicious sophisticated software on my phone, which survived a reset to the factory settings and a repair by PC Companion software.

Does anyone know something?

This screenshot:

is the Sony standard email application. I don't think that you have malicious software. Sometimes, the application gets 'reset' and shows the screen but you can just proceed to the screen and you will see that it will open the messaging Inbox and it is the standard application.

I can't believe that there is no one from Sony here that can give you such a simple response and they are leaving you in doubt of having some malicious software and what to do about it. You need not reinstall or downgrade your phone.

What a support forum!

PS: I think that you will also get that if you go to the settings app and delete the cache and the data of the app and restart the application, however I can not test this without deleting my SMS messages, so I'll let you try to screen

If you delete your application data and restart, don't forget to disable "Automatic download MMS" to limit the risk of the bug Stagefright. (Sony never goes out a fix for this?)

  • Lag when you type in Mac Messages app

    Hello!

    I recently got my new work - the MacBook Pro 13 ", 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 laptop.

    Everything works well except for the messages App. overtime I'm typing a message there is a significant lag - after a few words the app is not facing what I type, the 'small wheel' appears, and it takes a few seconds (2, maybe 3) for typical content to appear.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    I disconnected my account, signed in, close and reopen the app, restarted the MacBook, deactivated and reactivated iCloud contacts, etc.. Nothing helps.

    May be a corrupt .plist.

    Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

    Quit the application.

    Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder.  Select the library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iChat.plist.  Move the .plist on your desktop.

    Restart your computer, open the application and test. If it works fine, delete the plist for the office.

    If the application is the same, return the .plist where you got it, crushing the latest.

  • Sierra Messages App is forcing the use of the discrete GPU

    Since the update of my mid 2015 15 "MacBook Pro to Sierra, Messages.app requires the use of the discrete GPU and kill my battery time.

    All the world fell on this and if so, have you found a solution?

    Here, even with a MacBook Pro in early 2011... problem seems to be based on the new 'features messages"that you can use in iOS 10.

    From messages app, the internal GPU is used until I get a message with one of these new features to messages. Then the GPU will switch to the discrete GPU AMD and continues to work with him until I left messages app.

  • MacBook Messages app

    Expected the Messages app on my MacBook was updated for the texts of my iPhone?

    Hi there, wmsandwms!

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. From your post, I am not sure if you want your Mac to pass messages text or if you want to stop. Whatever it is, it is usually easy and to turn this feature on or off.

    Messages (El Capitan): get and send SMS messages -use this section to set up text Message transmission.

    To turn off, on your iPhone, tap Settings > Messages > text Message transfer and turn it off. You can also go to your Message on your Mac preferences and disconnect the the ID share your Mac and iPhone.

    Have a great weekend!

  • How can I transfer all the messages/conversations from my iphone to messages.app on my mac?

    Hi people,

    Maybe someone can help me:

    How can I transfer the entire contents of my messages app on my iphone to the messages on my mac app?

    the problem is, when I create in the messages app a new account with my appl ID (for example on a new mac) I also use with my iphone, so everything worked very well for the starting point of creation.

    BUT... some older posts, I have on my iphone will appear in the new messages.app - account on my mac.

    I have thousands of old messages and conversations, I now can only see on my phone or with some more or less useful third party apps. those who cannot vonert messages to a PDF file or som other format useful semi > but no one can transfer it in the messages app.

    • I learned that apple does not save my imessages for more than 72hours (which makes me happy because of the confidentiality of the data), so I can't take via imessages-servers.
    • I also learned that it is possible to transfer data from the library files to a previous account. but unfortunately, I've just accidentally deleted those files, so this solution won't help:
      • I had serious problems to enable the transfer of SMS on a second mac (I guess I failed it in between), I went in the ususal trial & error-process and disabled the account of messages on the mac.
      • After that, I deleted all caches using onyx. then I restarted the iphone and the macbook and restarted the messages app.
      • the app behave like the 'never used before': I entered my apple, app ID remind my cell phone number and all other settings from the old account, but THE MESSAGES WERE GONE alle.
      • I don't know I deleted the using onyx. but there should be a way to win back them?

    the system configuration:

    • Start "2011-17 - macbook pro with latest el capitan (10.11.6)"
    • iPhone 6 with latest iOS (9.3.5)

    PLEASE Please HELP me - even if I use third-party software...

    Hello

    Can't do.

    iMessages are pushed by the iMessages servers to devices recorded at this time there.

    They are not held on servers and are deleted as soon as receiving devices accept.

    (that is, it is not like electronic mail that can be left on the server (POP) or rest on the (IMAP) server to be retried by other devices that can identify you later).

    How the files/iMessages are stored on the iPhone and the way the Mac stores are not the same.

    It is possible to have the iPhone one store backup via iTunes on Mac.

    From there on, it is possible to use third party applications to read (check out them and make them as text files), but they cannot be forced into Messages.

    By copying and pasting entire conversations from one chat to another it's the Mac send s just like a long piece of text with few (not in use) formatting.

    Can also have problems with actually duplicate the whole file with space on the iPhone in the first place.

  • Messages.app and Facetime.app do not open after OSx updated 10.11.5 Mountain Lion

    Last night, I've updated my Macbook Pro in early 2011 at the El Capitan 10.11.5 Cougar (Yes, the leap). Open all apps to check out them, and Facetime.app and Messages.app are not open.

    FaceTime.app gives the message "an internal FaceTime error has occurred. There was a problem with Facetime. You must exit and reopen Facetime. "A few times. No change.

    Messages.app: Last night after update, I opened it and gives the message "Messages is updated... The database of Messages is in the process of modernization, please wait until it is finished or Messages Quit and restart it later. "Allowed to do that during the night (about 7 hours). App reopened this morning and nothing went up, no new window, no error message, no light 'walk' on the dock; but, if you click on it showed the "Application does not message." After a few re-openings, it's the message even 'Messages is updated"as above.

    I have not tried anything other than a restart.

    Any ideas on what to try? Thank you in advance!

    create a new administrative account, start to this account and see if open programs.

    otherwise, open the Console.app (from projector to type "console" without the quotation marks)

    clear the console log (clear view)

    Launch the application

    Paste the result to the console in this thread for analysis.

  • How to have separate conversations w / the same person in messages app

    Hey guys,.

    is it possible to have several conversations with the same contact but different addresses in the messages (El Cap) application?

    My problem: I have two conversation with the same person: I text him through iMessage using his e-mail and SMS (phone number, no iPhone) that appears in the application messages through continuity (or let do or what they call that). However, the iMessage cat and the cat of text message (which is separated on my iPhone) is mixed in a chat on the Mac (which is a mixture of blue and green bubbles). And when I type a message on the Mac it's a lottery if it will be sent as a text message or an iMessage. On the iPhone, it is clearly separate.

    How can I have discussions in the messages.app on my Mac?

    Thank you

  • Messages app does not appear new conversations

    Recently in a vain attempt to get Microsoft PowerPoint and Word to open files without complaining about permissions I tried to reset the permissions and a few other terminal-y things that I probably shouldn't have been messing around with.

    After rebooting my computer, my Messages App went to the default view (no overview of conversation, abbreviation for each person within a circle) and was empty of all conversations. When a new iMessage would come to my phone, it wouldn't show up on the list. However once I started a new conversation with someone in the Messages application the conversation would be there (as well as messages between me and this person). When a conversation is present and the person texts/iMessages new messages appear and I am notified.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    Was it the orange 'Help' brand test or the green "Resolved" objects of this thread Reset Home Folder permissions and ACLs error ?

    It is best to run the first test to see if you need the other.

    Permissions repair which was never touched disk utility via the home folder in any way.

    If you used a third-party app or utility, that it would be preferable, tell someone that used as the same may be able to comment on and areas it covers.

    It would seem that you have "lost" some of the connection to the chat.db items in ~/Library/Messages

    A few details about what was changed can also help us to help you.

    I would be tempted to use a Time Machine backup to the point before you start playing with things.

    This mold lose more recent iMessages that have been sent from.

  • Messages app on my iPhone TO work well.

    I have a new iPhone SE. The messages app worked for a while, then stopped, then I got it working again, and then he stopped (I can not send messages, but can get them). I called Apple Support today, and they had me reset the phone - not fun because I had put in my contacts, etc. He worked for a little while, then the same thing happens. Help!

    Sorry I can regarding messages noticed your comment about losing contacts related to resetting the phone. You may consider going to settings > iCloud and switching Contacts, Notes, reminders, etc. for the items you want to synchronize automatically to iCloud. That should ensure that they will not yet lost (and would be available from a computer to https://www.icloud.com/ ) even if you've lost the phone. You can also turn on iCloud backup on this same screen parameters.

    Built in the message app can not be deleted.

    First of all, check your home screen and app.

    IF you still cannot find it, then go to Settings - General - reset - Reset available to the home screen.
