Wife just got a Captivate last night and went to sync her contacts with facebook. After doing this, my phone number shows up as xxx-xxxx rather than as a 10 digit number. I have erased my number and reput it in correctly. However, it doesn't matter. Now in her contacts page, my number shows up as a 10 digit but when i send a text, the text is received from a 7 digit number.
So she can't respond to my texts but has to start a new text conversation each time. Kind of irritating.
Any ideas?
If it is pulling the number from facebook you need to edit it there.
Also, she probably has multiple linked contacts for you, one of which could be causing the issue such as phone, sim, google.
We'll try unfriending on facebook and then refriending. I looked and didn't realize my number was on there at all. Glad you said something since I have students on my facebook friends list and so I got my number erased off there.
How can I make sure that all traces of me are completely gone before I readd myself to her contacts list? Apparently what I was doing wasn't working.
In her contact for you it will show if there are multiple that are joined. You can edit them individually though you may need to unlink them in order to do so.
We deleted me. We removed me from a facebook friend. On the magnifying glass, I don't show up under contacts.
Reput me back in and same result.
When I send her a text, my 7 digit number shows up. She can send me a message as I'm now in her contacts with a 10 digit number. But my texts to her show up with a 7 digit number and therefore can't message directly back.
Sounds like it still has the number saved as a linked contact and hasn't updated the correct one from facebook. I would go into the contacts on her phone and look and see if there are multiple numbers under your name.

so i delete #'s i no longer need out of my phonebook but when i go thru my phonebook from handcent or messanger - the phone # still shows up. Is there some sort of secondary book the program is looking in when you want to send an SMS/MMS?
If they are on your friends list on facebook and they have their number posted it will do this. Otherwise I'm not sure why it would.
no - my fB isnt set to sync nor are the numbers im talking about even on my Fb friends list...
its numbers i've once added, then i went thru and deleted old #'s i dont call so theyre not longer in my phonebook but when i go to text message someone, it shows up in my "text phonebook"
this is very interesting. perhaps its related to the "wrong recipient" thread over in the general forum. its gotta be a bug no matter what, right?
this happened to me a while back when I tried to delete my ex.
what worked for me was when I logged into my google account (i logged into voice)
and clicked contacts, and deleted her from there. that worked for me, but idk.
Try to check whether you have included the respective folder/label of contacts in your contact list. Perhaps the messaging app searches through all contacts regardless of label.
Contact list will only show those contacts that have the labels you have chosen. Perhaps the deleted contacts got moved to a [Trash] label?
if I want to send a SMS there is a comma before the phone number and so it's not possible to send the SMS
It looks like this ,+49174...
If I get a SMS from such a person there is also a comma before.
this is only at some contacts.
The other contacts look like this Max Mustermann <+49174...>
I sync my contacts with the google account,
I also tried to delete the contact and add a new contact with new Name but the same number. The problem stays the same.
I'm running CM 7.0.3.
It seams nobody has this Problem
At 1 of 5 clicks at the SMS symbol the name is shown like this "Last Name, First Name" <+49174....>. Normally it should look like this First Name Last Name <+49174...>.
Can anybody help me. This is driving me crazy.
isch
[EDIT]I've deleted the mmssms.db because there was a lot of deleted sms in the database with wrong numbers[/EDIT]
i have the same problem all of a sudden. any resolutions found?
This really irritates me. I have Facebook set as 'Sync with existing contacts'. I've gone into my phone book and the only option ticked is 'Google' (I don't store any contacts on my phone) and the phone book only displays those contacts which is good.
However, when I send a text and search for the contact I get facebook contacts coming up (I haven't checked others e.g. Twitter). Is there any way to get this to stop? Also, sometimes it will display 2 number for the same person, one beginning with +44 and one with 07

Coming from TW and AOSP-Based ROMs on phones past I've never once encountered this issue. The short of it is as follows: some numbers in my inbox or call log wont link to their entries in my address book because the full number format doesn't match or something. It's a bit annoying because I'll send a message to someone using their 7 digit number, and when the message comes back it starts a separate thread with their contact entry as the number. Again, this never happened in other roms as 7 digit numbers could identify the contact if it was saved under either the 10 digit or the +11 digit number. Is there any possible way to change that behavior or should I just learn to use my address book to send messages? Thanks in advance
I occasionally get text messages from businesses with a 5 digit number. I would assign them to my contact so that their contact name would show up instead of the original 5 digit number in the app. At some point this stopped working because now, I just see the numbers again.
Anyone notice this?
