Hopefully this is in the right place.
Basically im wondering if, on facebook messenger, should a contacts sms and facebook messages be combined on the one page? for example, if person 'A' sms' me and then the same person facebook messages me half an hour later, should both those messages be on the same page?
at the moment im getting one page for person 'A' facebook message and one page for person 'A' sms messages.
Thanks in Advance

This looks like a general non-HOX related question about the app but yes, that is how FB messenger works on all devices.
I'd assume it's because if the messages were combined, it would be easy to make mistakes like
- Accidentally sending an sms (that have fixed costs) when trying to send a message through Facebook
or
- Sending a FB message instead of an sms to someone who isn't at reach of Internet.
etc.

I think it's a good thing that they've gt it seperated especially for the reassons u just named!

I used to be able to get my email from Outlook, then click on Inbox, and flip over to text messages. Now text messages are no longer there.
Any idea how to get them back in Outlook?
Thanks
As far as I remember someone saying that text msgs and outlook have been seperated in the new Roms. I could be wrong, but I think it has been done by design this time.
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.
Right, I'm at my whit's end.
I've added contacts to my new Desire, and managed to link them with their respective FaceBook profiles. The thing is, i now want to send a group text message, and the primary message method is via e-mail. I don't want to send an e-mail, i want to text their phone number. I can't seem to find anything which will change it so that an SMS is primary and e-mail is secondary.
Any ideas on that one? I know i can send a single message, but that isnt what i want to do, i want to highlight any contact i wish and have it automatically send an SMS, and not an e-mail.
Also, when sending a message, is there any way to filter the contacts down to just those with phone numbers OR e-mail instead of having a massive amalgamated list of Facebook, Twitter, Google and Phone contacts?
Any help will be hugely appreciated!
hi did you get anywhere with this - esp your last point - must be something obvious ?!
Nope, got nowhere. I can't find any option or anything anywhere to do this. Ive just decided to try and live with it.
If I understood well..when you type in a new message and click in recepients, then the list with your contacts pops up. But, in mine at least, every contact that has a phone number and an email, has 2 records, one with the mail and one the phone number, only to let you choose what you want. Although in contacts list, have one all together.
it shows me:
nikos <[email protected]>
nikos <+000>
etc...
I have the same system as well. The issue i'm raising is when you have say, 350 Facebook contacts and 200 Gmail contacts, and you want to send a message, you have to scroll through every contact to get to the one you want.
I want to know if there's a way to filter the contacts to say "Mobile Numbers Only" or "Email Only" when you're trying to select a (many) recepient(s) for a message.

Oh how I hope you get an answer, see my last point on the following thread...I feel yer pain bruv...soooo frustrating.

Here's an odd one. If you receive a text message that is MT, the "sender" can be text rather than a number. Obviously, you can't reply to it (hence "mobile terminate"), but they're used quite often by companies (like ourselves) for notifications.
Weirdly, when I get such a message, the Desire's SMS app matches the sender to a seemingly random user on my phone (in my case, it's my wife's contact), so that all of the messages appear to have come from her. It's very odd.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Daern
please read previous threads! its a bug and reported to HTC
It's your Facebook friends with stupid entries in their mobile number fields. As above, there's a thread about it somewhere...
This isn't a Facebook issue...I've never used it
Ah, but it does seem to be something to do with contact linking...
Guess the fix is on HTC's side then.
But...
.. it is still very annoying!
My Desire suffers from this issue too.
Bank SMS notifications are attributed to a friend of mine...
This just happened to me, it assigned them to some girl on facebook, looks very weird in my sms history...hope they fix this as i haven't been able to find a workaround yet.

The same thing happened to me and I was able to fix it:
I managed to sort it out. I took off facebook contact syncing, removed my facebook accounts from facebook and friendstream, rebooted, readded the facebook accounts leaving contact syncing off and this solved it. I'd rather not have my facebook contacts showing in my phonebook any way...

Can you still link FB accounts to contacts tho on an individual basis? I want the profile pics for my contacts but have had a few issues with these SMSs coming up as a friend...
Just out of curiosity, did you guys hard reset your phone, and use the built in backup tool?
This may not be a Tilt2 specific question .... when receiving facebook messages via SMS, is there any way to have the entire message show in SMS?
Why not just respond to them when the email notification comes in?
I have them set up as SMS, makes it easier and quicker to reply. With email, it opens up a browser to fb to respond.
