In Message App: Blocked phone number(s), not listed, unable to unblock
- /e/ version: 1.2-20220725206061
- Device model(s): FP3
- Device rooted: yes/no
Summary
Since upgrade to v1.2, I don't receive anymore SMS and MMS from 2 contacts I used to block and unblock sometimes. At least, even when blocked, it was possible to read blocked SMS/MSS in the corresponding menu in Message App; which is no more possible today. Despite of trying to [re]block an unblock corresponding phone number, I've never ever received SMS/MMS from them since the 4th August 2022; and at least one of the contact gave me screenshot proof they sent me several SMS.
The problem
Steps to reproduce
Supposition:
- be in v1.1
- block a contact from Message App => reading any received SMS, use the 3 dots at top right to go to the details, and use the 'Block' menu
- confirm everything can be found even when Blocked => inside Message, Menu => Blocking => Blocked Messages, and retrieve the blocked phone numbers (contact if any), and read corresponding SMS/MMS
- upgrade to v1.2 (without unblocking corresponding Contact)
What is the current behavior?
Contact seems blocked forever even if you [un]block it several times; only existing blocked SMS/MMS can be seen in Menu => Blocking => Blocked Messages, you'll never ever receive anymore SMS/MMS from blocked phone numbers/contacts.
What is the expected correct behavior?
Ability to receive SMS/MMS from previously or currently blocked phone numbers/contacts (in short, the same behavior till version 1.1).
Technical informations
I've been unable to find any relevant logs; let me know which one are interesting.
Let me know how I could find 'metadata' information with adb (for instance, blocked phone numbers list ground truth ...).
Solutions
None so far ... we somehow are using e-mail :(
I think it is possible to "downgrade" to previous /e/os build, but I'm unable to find the corresponding documentation?
