I have a biggggggg problem, and it is that now a days everyone sends more text messages than make actuall calls.
So people keep sending me messages, and thinking im ignoring them.. i get people mad at me, and I also dont get important messages from my girlfriend, parties, promotors, etc.
sometimes they have to send me 2 or 3 messages so i can get the message.
Help, how do I fix this issue?
I'm having the same exact issue. The message appears in the notification bar but does not appear in the app, either the default messaging app or Handcent.
I noticed today that the SMS Messaging app displays the word Sent and a time for text messages that have been received rather than sent. Is it just my Nexus One (FRF91) that is having a brain fart or do other see the same issue ?
It's telling you when the message was sent to you. It's working fine.
So a message that my phone has received is marked sent because someone sent it to me ? Android 2.1 marked it as received ?
I think it's a regression. It should say "Sent" for your messages and "Received" for your contacts' messages.
Also, when I get a SMS notification and select it from the notification bar it takes me to the list of SMS threads rather than the specific thread for the contact who just messaged me. I'm pretty sure this wasn't the behavior for Eclair and is another regression or a horrible UI decision.

is anyone else having a bug where when you click the first message in the messaging app and it is showing a completely different conversation? Ive been sending many messages to the wrong people because of that.

It is telling you what time the message was sent to you. I do agree that it should say Received but it's not a bug.

That has happened to me a couple times. I have always noticed, thankfully, before sending a text. Except for once when I accidentally texted one of my boys with a <3. lol
Something really odd just happened.
I got a text from my buddy Aaron.
Opened up my SMS, and it showed another contact's picture and phone number when looking at the thread. but when I went back to the list of sms threads, it would show Aaron's phone number (not connected to his contact, no picture, no name etc)...
If I clicked on it and went back into the thread, again another contacts name and phone number and picture
wtf ?!?!
So I deleted the sms thread. Went into contacts, and swiped left on Aaron's contact to text him, when in the sms typing area, it only shows his phone number and fails to connect his number to his actual contact.
When I call Aaron from my contacts though, it does show his picture ...
is this sort of thing a common occurance ?
All my contacts are sync'd with exchange (corporate) and most of them are linked to facebook.
I've got no contacts on my sim, or entered into the phone memory itself.
I also noticed that when using a 3rd party sms app, the texts don't get linked up to the contacts, so it would only show the numbers.

bell phone running on fido
i have not seen the error yet
but now that i know, i might not be surprised if it does happens
wow .. honestly that sort of thing is pretty unacceptable on any phone..
This happened to me yesterday! Any ideas on what causes it?
Ya i ve d same problm. anything can be done abt this?
This has been discussed many times before, its generally down to having other SMS applications on your device, ie Handscent.
this happened when i coded my own SMS app, left it installed on my phone for a few days and open the conversation to my mate and had all the msgs from my girlfriend in it...
Lol.. It actually happened to me a couple of time. Thankfully it solves itself when I hit the back button
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
it happens me several times on 2 of 4 galaxys. this is totaly unacceptable offcourse. if this isnt fixed on froyo I have a galaxy for sale.
Which firmwares, and is this firmware you are using a final version?

It does it for me quite regularly, and I've never installed any other SMS apps. Bog standard JF3, never flashed, nothing.
It was also one of the first things my friend mentioned to me about his new Galaxy S, which hadn't even had a single app of any kind downloaded at the time.
Believe me, it's very weird to have a text apparently from your best male friend telling you how much they love you after the phone gets the name confused with your girlfriend.
Weeeeirdness.
guys, you do know this issue is just a SMS software bug eh?
have you guys tried using ChompSMS (freebie)
that will prevent the problem of mixing contacts
me had this problem before but not anymore when i flash the i9000ZSJP2 firmware..... try it...
SMS problem yes, but Mail too!
I have had this problem with SMS a couple of times, but more serious and more frequent: Exchange mail mixes up, I get maibodies under wrong subject! I am using standard SGS Exchange client. Any other seen this?

Yup it sure is and i can confirm it on the firmware jpjg8
iv been recieving a lot of sms's and on the notification it gives me some random contact name but once opened it correctly goes back to the original sender with the text. i havn't tried using a diff sms app as im pretty happy with the stock 1 in use.
as for a fix , i found out that a big list of contacts and sms's do confuse the phone and try as much as possible to keep it as small as possible but id love to keep those sms's / mms's , so still no real fix T_T
bump .. me also haveing the same problem. contacts name in the notification is displayed wrong ..but it corrects itself when i open the sms.
using another app solved it
i switch to use Handcent SMS, much better than ChompSMS
i never really noticed if there was a problem with SMS getting mixed up
must have been an older bug on the older firmwares
I Have the same problem as the two people below.
I'll get a new text message, and it will show up on the notifications bar as from some random person, and i'll get another text from the same person and the notification will show another random name. They seem to be names of people that have previously sent me a message, but it is quite strange... It only started happening recently, so maybe it is an app or something conflicting?
The only things that come to mind are the LauncherPro messaging widget that i've been putting on one of my homescreens.
I'm running
Firmware 2.1-upadate1
I9000UGJH2
ECLAIR.UGJH2
rooted and running one click lag fix
also running trillian in the background, as well as beautiful widgets wheather.
can you guys post some info on what you are running so that maybe we can find a cause for this?

I experience the same on my desire z with htc's default app.
Is the a solution for this?
I find custom flashing and limiting the number of contacts ridiculously lame - no offence, but these bare not $10 devices
I had this bug on 2.1. I had no other text app installed so put it down to an eclair/rom version bug. Mine would also text the wrong people if it had got the contacts mixed. Best fix for me was a reboot.
I'm on Froyo now and no sign of it so far......fingers crossed
This very same thing is happening to me now. Called my carrier but they couldn't help. Hoping to find a solution here.
I have a rooted i896 running Cognition v2.3b6. Now by default, when I used the sms app, the time listed for text messages that i receive are 5 hours in the past (at 945pm i received an sms, but the time listed under the text was 445). Because when I my text messages that are sent with the proper time, so in the text message thread my text messages are always first and my recipients texts appear always before in the thread.
I what I didnt was I changed my time zone to account for the 5 hour gap.
So after I did this, most of the text message appear in order except for messages that are sent/received in the same minute. For texts send during the same minute, my sent always appear after even if it is sent before.
I read on these forums that this is a problem with time stamping of the text from the carrier or something, but there was not explanation on how to fix this.
Is anyone else having this problem and found out a way to fix it?

You can download an app called "Sms Time Fix" and put it to adjust by 5 hours. You can also download "Handcent" or another 3rd party messaging app and the time will be correct.
I had a very similar problem. After i got my phone unbricked and loaded the latest version of cognition onto the phone the timestanps were five hours off. I am now using handcent and have no probles whatsoever with the timestamps.
Don't forget to go into tibu and "freeze" your original sms program that came stock with the phone.

Hi all,
Just got the OTA update this evening on my simmered unlocked Nexus 6.
Update was successful, but I've not been able to show any contacts, or open SMS threads since. I use Handcent but have tried the stock messenger and hangouts, no change.
When I restore my sms from backups on new phones I'm used to it taking hours as I've got 40,000+ messages, but it seems odd...
I'm also not receiving any sms messages since I updated...
Can anyone suggest anything? I've Googled it but found nothing yet...
This may not help, but delete some messages, there's no need for 40,000+ messages I guarantee that I don't care if your the president.

On my God delete them
Turns out it was just similar to restoring them - I left it overnight and they're okay this morning...
As for deleting them, not a chance lol, I like to reminisce... 39,000ish are with one person...
