I have been having a continuous but random problem on Cyanogen's builds, was hoping it would be fixed...
Occasionally I will not receive texts from my girlfriend who's on Verizon. This is extremely frustrating because she thinks I'm ignoring her or something.
I also will sometimes receive a Notification of a text, but not be able to access the text. Like, I'll click on it, and I'll see the previous texts, but the one I saw in the Notification bar won't show up at the bottom. This problem is both in ChompSMS and the regular Messaging app.
I have had the Notification problem with other people as well, but so far, it seems like the 'missing texts' problem happens only with my girlfriend's texts. She doesn't miss my texts, I miss hers.
I have dgAlert Classic and ChompSMS, I will be disabling them one by one and see if that's my problem instead of CyanogenMod. But just checking to see if anyone else has had this problem.
i had this same problem, fort it was my phone, i use sms popup, that pop ups with the message, but i don't get the original notification on the pull down bar, and no LED light
That's a workaround, but is there any actual -fix- for this?
Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this. What SMS app do you use, or do you use the included Messaging app?
Just wanted to add I experience this issue too. I use a widget that displays my latest message, and it shows the latest message there but occasionally there will be no notifications and the message will only appear in the widget, no where else. My fix, which im currently experimenting with, is using the default Mms.apk, not the modified one. I will post results soon.
That is a good idea, let us know what the result is!
If you can get no missing messages/notifications for 3 days without reboot, I'll be impressed and try the same myself.
Well, no luck. Default Mms.apk still has the same problems.
I've had it happen once where I was in Market, got an SMS notification, and pressed Back a bunch of times to get to Home screen. Then I looked at the notification and clicked, but there was no message.
THEN WHO WAS PHONE?
Nah but, maybe it's pressing Back a lot of times? I don't know. I wish it would get looked at and fixed, it seems like everyone just ignores it if I bring this up.
When the stock messaging app gets a text that it has to break into 2 due to length/amount of characters, it just shows as pending and then shows as failed... and it never sends.
Is there a different version I can use that anyone can post and I'll pull/push the updated one?
you can use handcent or chomps sms, both break it up properly and works fine
i just break mine up by sending when the character counter gets low. it seems to work no one ever complains
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,
First, I did search and didn't spot an answer or similar thread (so I'll feel really silly when someone points me to it...)
I've got a stock VZW 3G Xoom and I'm using Google Voice almost exclusively for texting now. In fact, it works so well I gave my Nexus 1 to my father-in-law and switched to a basic phone. But, the only complaint/issue I have is that it's sometimes difficult or even impossible to access the inbox. I regularly find that if I'm in a text thread and hit the back button, to return to the inbox where all discussions are shown, it will often only refresh the screen and I remain in the individual thread. Sometimes, going "home" and then touching the GV icon will take me to the inbox but sometimes even this doesn't resolve the issue. And, today, I experienced something new - every time I hit back to get to the inbox, from within a thread, it deleted the previous text. In other words, each time I hit back the text message (whether sent or received) disappeared from the thread starting at the bottom and working up. My only fix here was to force stop it.
Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, have you found a solution to return you to the inbox?
Thanks for any help,
Ross
Mine does the same thing. While annoying, my inbox sometimes takes what seems like forever to refresh incoming messages.
I'm working with a wifi Xoom, 3.2.
Sorry, all, I had never experienced this before on my Nexus One so I thought it might be a Xoom or Honeycomb issue. But, I did some deeper (broader) digging and found that it's a known GV behavior. This explanation was helpful:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/etnha/google_voice_users_when_you_hit_your_back_button/
Basically, it seems that when I click on a notification bar text message notice I'm not in the full GV app. So, if what I read elsewhere is correct, if I view 10 text messages through the notification bar icon I'd have to hit the back button 10 times to get to the main app and the inbox. This would explain the erratic behavior I've seen, as sometimes I use the notification icon and sometimes I use the app shortcut. Not great design, but at least it doesn't appear to be a Xoom-specific issue.
What apk did you use to get it?
grab the apk from your android phone that gets it from the market
i have never experienced this issue
i am on wifi 3.2 rooted stock
