Hi xda-developers,
I've got a strange problem. As of last night I have had two problems.
First, it seems that my outgoing SMS messages are no longer saved. Well at least they aren't visible in the threaded SMS conversations and I can't find them anywhere. They do go through to the recipients, I can confirm. Also, I do get incoming SMS in the conversations just fine.
Second, it seems that Gmail is no longer syncing anything. If I go into Gmail and hit sync manually, the sync icon appears for just a couple seconds, then goes away having failed to download any new messages.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Cheers,
Paul Thompson

My company has an alerting SMS system. Usually you receive a reminder. The special thing in the SMS that instead of the number in the "Form" field it shows the text "alert".
When I receive this SMS it shows that I received it one of my friends from facebook contacts :s His profile also not contains number under the phone field just characters.
How this huge bug could pass the test?!
I reported this issue to HTC support, but of course no response.
This happens with me when receiving texts from t-mobile, it always says that they are from a random facebook friend. The only way to stop it, is to stop the phone syncing facebook contacts.
I too am having the same problem.
It seems very odd that it should pick up a random facebook contact.
I don't sync my facebook contacts to the Desire, but do remain logged into facebook and it still picks up the random contact despite the mobile numbers used etc all being different!
A fix would be great!
I had this bug, I had the contact delete their phone details seeing as they only entered garbage. Don't hold your breath on it ever getting fixed.
All my contacts use international number format (+xxxxxxxxxx) and are stored on gmail severs. Unboxed and setup the desire with my gmail, facebook and twitter accounts. Synced well and got all my facebook and gmail contacts. Here's the issues I'm having:
- I live in Lebanon where incoming numbers display 03123456 (03 is the mobile prefix) whereas i have stored them as +9613123456. My desire is not matching the incoming call to the corresponding entry in the phonebook. Never had this problem before on Nokia & BB.
- Incoming SMS seems to be working fine and matching the right contact. However, when I receive an SMS from an unknown short number (any commercial message), the desire matches the sms to a random facebook contact based on some weird recognition algorithm. Worse, if I click on that contact's avatar in the message thread, I get an application error (process com.android.mms has stopped unexpectedly...)
Any insight would be appreciated. Hoping for an easy fix!
I had the very same problem (commercial messages...) I deleted the contacts that were appearing (didnt use them often...). After deleting the 2nd or 3rd the problem was rectified. Not sure exactly why it was associating those contacts to the messages???
Strange.....
I noticed that these matched accounts had bogus data in their Facebook profile (phone number).
My major concern is the first issue. Anyone having the same problem?
Bump. Anyone?
After the 1.21 OTA update I've had 2 issues with my messaging application and I believe they may be related to eachother.
The sms counter shows I have a lot more sms's between myself and others than I initially expected, to be specific close to 4000 with just one contact which I found to be absurd. Upon closer inspection it appears all my sms's have been duplicated that is there are double or duplicate entries of every single received and sent sms between me and all my contacts.
I currently have an application called SMS backup by Christoph Studer which allows me to backup all my sms to my gmail which I find extremely handy.
When updating I assume that the phone made a backup of my sms's to be restored or that they are already stored somewhere on my sd card and after the update I assumed they were all restored. Now I would have expected to only see one set of sms's and not 2 and I'm thinking that maybe it has something to do with my SMS backup app being tied to my gmail and that after it restored it off my sd card, that it resynced my entire gmail with contacts, emails etc and also synced my sms's from my gmail hence having duplicate sms.
When I send and receive sms's I dont receive duplicates, I only have duplicates of everything before the OTA update.
I want to know the workaround for this to remove those duplicate sms's apart from manually deleting each and every single sms, which I guess I will resort to enventually.
My 2nd problem which I may believe is linked to the first problem is that the stock messaging app seems to be working much more slowly than before ever since the update. Usually after I send an sms it will appear fairly quickly in the threaded view, now it takes easily a few seconds more and appears to hang before it shows. Even loading threaded sms views seem to take longer more so with those who have longer threaded conversations with. But even with the people I text less there seems to be a more noticeable delay than before.
At first I thought this had to do with the application itself after the update but I'm guessing it's due to having to deal with twice as many sms's as before.
So basically I'm looking for a fix to remove the duplicated messages and to speed up the stock app again which I think are interelated.
Im looking at options other than manually removing each and every sms and other than replacing the stock app with handcent or chomp.
I've also looked at the SMS backup app and played around with it and theres no option present there which says to backup sms back to my phone, it only sends it to my gmail. I havent poked enough in my gmail to see if there is some options which syncs my gmail sms back to my phone again.
Suggestions?
i installed handcent and i like it but i have 1 problem with it when i try and text my wife it will not send but i can send texts to her on stock sms. I can send texts to anyone one else in handcent any ideas?
thanks
p.s how do you delete a app?
I haven't run into that problem with handcent. Here is how you delete the app:
-menu
-settings
-applications
-manage applications
-scroll down and select handcent sms
-select uninstall
iam still havin this problem i deleted her contact info then put it back and it worked for 5 texts and stoped but i did notice something but dont know how to fix.
When i look at list of texts everyone else i send just show there name on hers is name then phone number like this sue <1-123-123-1234> when it comes up that way i cant text her anymore how do i stop this
check all your contacts, you may have her number attached to another contact. if you sync your contacts to google, use google contacts on your browser to check this (it'll be easier)
i did check that but i will look again the funny thing is after i redid her contact info it worked for 5 texts then stoped
I have two gmail accounts. Both sync my contacts just fine (both can be searched and come up). However, whenever I receive a text or call from my second account (I use handcent and Callapp), it just shows the number, as if I don't actually have the contact saved. This is getting frustrating as my second account is a google apps account that I use for work, and clients are calling me without me knowing who they are, until I copy the number and search for it in my contacts. Did anyone else encounter this and how did they solve it? Thank you.
