I saw a few other people in the thread for MightyMike's ROM on PPCGeeks have the same issue, and it just kept getting run over/buried. I decided to make a thread about it because it no longer seems to be a MightyROM-only issue.
Here's the issue: In the past, when I sent a message to multiple contacts, it places a copy of the message I sent in the thread under that person's name. Now, the new thread that is created only shows the message as sent to the first person whose name I type in. The only way I will see that the message is sent to everyone else is by going in to my "Sent Items" folder.
As I said before, it started (for me, at least) when I installed MighyROM 4.14. I tried 4.15, tried re-installing 4.15, then went on to Silence Rom 7, Juicy 5 and now I'm on MightyROM 4.16. For never having flashed a custom ROM before 2 days ago, I gotta say I think I'm doing pretty good here!
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yes this is the development thread, and all I really have is a problem, but I think it's something only solvable by you devs.
My phones sms has been completely Effing up lately.
I will get the notification up in the bar, and I can pull that down and read into the message, but if I open Handcent or the default app the text won't show up and will not be there.
So reasonably I stopped using Handcent, and Message widget and all sorts or things like that, wiped my phone, cleared the partition, flashed a new rom. Different firmwares [1.6 and the new open eclair]
But nothing really seems to help or work, apparenlty mms has been failing a lot which I know is more so on Tmobile's end then it is my phone but idk whats up, tonight I get this new Android notification
"com.android.mms a large number of sms messages are being send. select "ok" to continue of "cancel" to stop sending"
whenever I hit send, I haven't yet rebooted to see if it persists but it's a pain.
Is there any device log or collection I can submit so someone can look into it, possibly a bug? Virus? Somethin' stupid like that?
Thanks.
p.s. and my inbox isn't full or anything ridiculous like 1000+ messages, I've got about less than 50 currently, and when I said stopped using Handcent and MessageWidget, I mean uninstalled.
This happened to me on rare occasions while I was using Handcent. But it doesn't happen when I use the default messaging app. So I assumed it was due to handcent. Not quite sure why you're getting the other problems though... =/
This happened to me as well when I changed to a 2.1 rom. I chose to go back to Dwangs 1.6 rom until the 2.1 roms have been completely stable.
Hey try using ChompSMS. I think its better than Handcent SMS

That doesn't sound good at all.
Have you checked with t-mobile to see if you are sending a stupid amount of text messages? It could be someone is sending spam messages via your phone or something. It could explain why you are unable to receive messages.
I think you are from the government, trying to find out whom on here knows how to subvert there android espionage. I for one will state to you officer, that I know nothing about this, and am stupid to the whole concept of bugs.
PS Do not try to trace my post, as both me and my computer are wearing tinfoil hats (with the shiny side out).
In all reality, one trick I learned as a teenager to check if your phone may be bugged, is to find an old business that still uses a switchboard phone system (this was hard in the early 90's, and may be impossible now) and phone them. If your phone was bugged, then they would see two lines coming in as one and become quite confused.
Whoa guys, by "bugged" I meant viruses not I'm being spied on haha.
It's occured on the 2.1 build Open Eclair
and a Cyan 1.6 build.
With and without using alternative applications for messaging.
I got sick and tired of it so I decided to go back to my most solid rom I've ever used.
A Soul Life 1.5 build, and I haven't had any troubles yet.
When I preformed the nandroid backup however it still tried to act like my sd card was partitioned and the market was buggy for a few but the cache is cleared up and it's all good now.

I have personally experienced this bug once that I can remember, and luckily for me it wasn't TOO big of a deal. I thought maybe it was a random, one time deal until I saw this post on Engadget. However, this bug is a lot more widespread than I thought.
The bug itself can be read about here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/31/android-still-has-horrible-text-messaging-bugs-thatll-get-you-f/
tl;dr:
1.Randomly, your phone may send a text message that you send to a contact to a random person on your contacts list with no warning.
2.Or, possibly less important, open the wrong text conversation when you try to open a text thread or open a text through via the notification bar.
Me personally, I've only experience the first issue that I listed one time. However, the second one happens often enough to annoy me, and enough that I double check every time I open a thread to make sure I'm talking to the right person.
My question is, is it possible for a dev (or multiple devs) to look in to this issue and fix it? Apparently it's only of "medium" importance as far as Google is concerned, but that's a bit ridiculous to me. People could literally lose their job or their marriages over something like this.
Also, IMO, this should be on the front page of xda..
EDIT: I'll also be posting this in the general Android forum since I think it needs more press.
hasnt affected myself.
using an htc sense ui, htc messaging app.
I have that issue with it openings the wrong thread. Didn't realize it was an OS glitch.

Bumping this, as it needs more attention.

Interesting. I did have an issue similar to this. It was in stock sense 2.1. I wanted to send a text to one contact, but it sent it to the last contact I had texted. Didn't know out was a universal bug.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I've noticed this since this first day I got my hero. I figured it was a glitch in the system or whatever. I just got used to it like you said, I check to make sure I'm talking to the right person.
Would be nice to have it gone tho if its an easy fix.
i cant say i have seen this issue, except the opening the wrong thread thing too
This doesn't happen on sense roms only stock mms.apk on aosp roms. I always double check cause it puts me in wrong threads all the time lol I failed once with a weiner pic to the wrong girl. It was very weird man very weird since then.
"I shave my armpits cause it makes me aerodynamic when i fight"
It appears the issue is now "critical" priority on Google's code page. Good! That's at least some progress..
I think Brett Favre is going to use this bug as his defense.
Step 1: Use Handcent
Step 2: ?????????????
Step 3: PROFIT!!!!!!!!
Okay, they could have handled this better, but the easiest way to fix it is to use some other app for a while. If Runkeeper doesn't work, I'll use Cardiotrainer for a while. Same concept.
Happened to me once.... I sent a nude picture to my GF and later that day it somehow got sent to another girl. Made an interesting conversation.
Anyways.... a flashable patch would be nice, if that is realistic.
An update! It appears an Android developer of some sort has posted saying the issue has been reproduced and fixed. You can read the comment here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9392#c1460
"Thanks to everyone for your patience while we've been investigating these reports. As it turns out, we believe there are two distinct situations being discussed on this issue chain. Fortunately, we have fixes for both of them.
When some users tap to open a message in the Messaging application, they're seeing a different message appear instead. We don't believe this issue is affecting many users, but we've developed a fix that we're preparing to deploy. Of course, double-checking the displayed message before hitting "Send" will prevent any messages from being sent to the wrong recipients. We've found in testing this issue, it is more likely to occur if you tap on a message before the Messaging app is fully loaded, so we recommend waiting for all the elements to load before clicking on the message you want to display.
Separately, some users have reported that their SMS messages are being delivered to the wrong people. It took us some time to reproduce this issue, as it appears that it's only occurring very rarely. Even so, we've now managed to both reproduce it and develop a fix that we will deploy.
While we don't anticipate any persistent problems, we'll continue to investigate in case we come up with additional ways to trigger these bugs. Thanks again for helping us improve Android."
Hurray!
Hey everyone, first of all I'd like to say that this website is plain great for finding things for my phone.
Secondly, I have a problem with my phone's text messaging.
Just recently while chatting to my friend, she was receiving weird messages from me which consisted of parts of a previous message I sent from days ago mixed with parts of the actual message I typed in.
For Example (The following are not the actual messages from the incident.)
Me: ABCDEFGHIKJLMNOP
Friend: Meeting tomorrow at 2:30.
Me: Okay I will be GHIKJLMNOP
Friend: Huh?
Me: What?
I know, sounds insane right?
The only changes I have made to my phone are, rooting with SuperOneClick, installing latest Neoblazer kernel (great kernel btw), and overclocked to 1.4Ghz.
I don't see how any of these changes could have done that. But do you guys have any idea about what's going on?
Cheers.
I don't think this is a kernel related problem... Anyway try to fix permissions (ROM Manager) and see if it's happening again
Thanks for your suggestion. I will try ASAP.
Hi again. I tried what you said, it has been 3-4 weeks and I am still getting this problem. Do you have any other suggestions? Or should I just get over it?
Try a third party messaging app, like handcent SMS, maybe that'll work...
I installed Ultimatum rom v3 on friends phone and my phone. My phone working great so far, friends phone has developed an issue receiving txt messages few weeks ago and recently fb and fb messenger are now giving "unknown error" messages. I had him install go sms to try get around the text message problem, it seemed to fix it for few minutes then it stopped working also. I only have text contact with my friend so I need some easy to explain tests or fixes to try. Is there any way to "reset" the ROM back to original without reloading the rom? Any way to fix these app errors without too much difficulty? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you for understandng it
Hi everyone,
I am using the latest CM11 nightlies (specifically the 20140210 right now) and whenever I send an SMS message over 160 characters, the message will not send. In the past, the messages would split and send the first 160 characters, then the second, and so on, each as an SMS message. Now, it's just one message that is not split and it will not send. I updated firmware (thinking this might help), was on the stock sense rom for a while and everything was fine but coming back to CM11 again I still have this issue. Does anyone have any advice as to why this is happening? SMS and MMS seem to work, just not SMS when over 160 characters / multiple pages. I've tried this with different apps and nothing seems to help, except for hangouts which somehowworks. But i'd rather not be using that if possible. I tried to find other solutions to this and had no luck, sorry if I missed something.
I've had this issue with the past few nightlies and haven't seen anyone else yet with the issue. I would have posted this to the cm11 thread but I don't have enough posts yet unfortunately to do so
Thanks for anyone's help!
I'm searching for the answer to a similar issue. I have a d2spr, on CM11 nightlies as well, but my issue is that I cannot type more than 160 characters anymore. Used to, if I typed more, it would tell me it was going to split into multiple messages by a little thing near the send button. Looked something like "140/2." Now, when I get to 160, it just won't let me type anything else. I have to hit send, and continue typing out my message hoping the recipient doesn't respond to the first message before I get the complete thought across to them.

This is the exact problem I have as well, my first post was a little chaotic and hard to understand. I've since gone back to cm10.2 M-snapshot though without a fix for the issue. i just checked the cm11 2/17 nightly and it still has this same problem. I will probably just wait a while until there's a more stable version of cm11 available for the m7spr.
thanks for confirming that i'm not the only one!
