Sometimes I don’t receive the text messages. Sometimes I receive them really strangely (it’s like a new text message that’s incomprehensible because it’s mixed up with bits of sentences from text messages I’ve already received). I have the impression that the situation gets worse after receiving one or more text messages with an image. Often the situation improves after deleting the blocked text messages with the command :
sudo mmcli -m any --messaging-delete-sms=
Is there anything I can do to stop this permanently? Thank you!
To the best of my knowledge, no (unless you count debugging and developing a new fix but that’s generally not what people mean when they ask this).
You can script that command to run on a schedule, but ultimately that doesn’t prevent only react automatically. There are a few examples of this on the forum.
You could raise an Issue if one does not already exist.
Ideally you would start with a completely clean phone and then document a sequence of received messages that results in the problem.
You don’t specify whether you are running byzantium or crimson but perhaps it will get more attention if you are running the latter - but then that may come with its own compromises.
Historically, yes, but if a text message is too long (> 160 characters) or it is a group discussion or …, it can get turned into an MMS even though there is no “multimedia” as such.
Then there’s Rich Communication Services (RCS), originally from Google, that is probably going to replace SMS and MMS.
