@Fizz said in Mixed up messages, or messages not received... whose fault is it?:
Hi all-
I am not sure whether this is a UT (Focal) issue, or a device (Pixel 3a) issue, or a provider (Freedom Mobile Canada) issue, or a combination of the three. So hopefully someone can give some feedback.
1: I'm having instances of messages just not being received. It happened today- i send a question. The recipient sees my message and replies twice. Her messages to me were never received by me. There was nothing special about them- just regular text messages. (I am using Messaging, standard UT app.) From my perspective, it's like she never replied.
2: On other occassions, i get a mixed-up message. The other side sends me a text, but it combines the text with a previous text that had been sent days or even weeks before. The result is something meaningless.
As a simple example, say i receieved a message a week ago "I'm going to order the chile cheeseburger and fries". Then today the same person tries to write me "I am working from tuesday through friday evenings." The message i might get is "I am working from tuesday to cheesburger with fries." I of course question it, and we share screenshots, and realize that what she sent made sense, but somehow what i receive is that combined nonsense.
Neither of these issues happen very often, but enough that i'm concerned about missing messages when it matters. What's the most source of the problem here? Any ideas? Thanks!

I had that issue at the beginning of the Pixel 3a port on 20.04, but now i never noticed that.
Maybe you can try to test by having a clean database ( just remove all under `.local/share/history-service after backup )
For the second issue, see: https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/messaging-app/-/issues/334
but i'm afraid it is a deep issue that is hard to tackle ( also it can happens on Android apparently...)
A clean should fix the issue until it happen again...
