Problem with reply path for sms

Alright. I bought Bell's Version of the of the galaxy s.
Within the first few days i messaged someone using a accidental area code (426) Instead of 416.
and now i cannot figure out how to change it back.
Every time i receive a message from said person, it sets my reply path to 426.
So I receive messages in one thread but have to reply in another.
I've also installed handcent
From what i can tell, its not saved on my sim or contacts.
I'm so lost
Please help.
Edit:
I'm also rooted
If that makes any difference.

login to your gmail account update the user phone number in your gmail account
then sync the phone
if you have a duplicated contact in phone and gmail, merge them
Well the number is kinda not saved in contacts
Like its a problem I have with messaging
The 416 number issaved.
Thee 426 is not.
I synced it sand edited out but it still happens

Messages Notification

I am using Stock GB version 20G... My Messaging App is showing "1" home screen but there are no texts. I have tired.. Battery pull, trying another sim card, deleted Messages data...
I can't think of anything else to try and don't want to do a hardware reset...
Any ideas???.
I had the same problem and solved by deleting the sms database.
You have to delete /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
That's the SMS database file. After that, reboot your phone and try to receive a SMS to regenerate the file.
You can backup that file just in case.
Cheers!

When ever iv had that problem I just waited for another message and it cleared the 1 away.
Still got it showing 1 on the homescreen Messaging app. Deleted all android data on internal sd & external sd. Been texting off/on since it happened Friday. Just trying to ignore it but am sure it will delete itself after a couple of weeks lol (I hope).
U could try flash a new ROM if u want. Lol
For me, deleting the file with Root Explorer did the trick.

Just thought I would mention that its strangely sorted it self lol. As it was New Years, sent loads of texts and let them build up and it was showing 23 on Messaging App. Left them for a while and then started to read each one.
For some reason, this then refreshed the amount of messages and its not showing any texts unread now . Seems yet another bug with the O2X?.

If you are using an alternative messaging app, then you need to disable the notifications from the stock messaging app. Otherwise it will always be showing that there are unread messages.

No, its the original LG Optimus 2X Stock GB Messaging App lol. Never used a another one as I like the standard messaging app... So, it was never that.
Still find it all strange though :-$
me the same with stock lg 20o.
stuck with "1" in the notification center after hard reset the phone.

Try and send yourself loads of texts and let them build up.. Then click on them one by one. That's what sorted mine, but got 23 texts from.different people on New Years Eve lol.

(Q) Messaging conversations not showing

I recently flashed Saurom ROM kk4. after I backed up my phone I noticed that the conversations do not show up in messaging. They all are there, if someone sends a message I see the whole conversation but not when I open the messaging from scratch. This has never happened b4. Any ideas what to do. I tried changing out the apk but no luck

[Q] My Note sent the contact vcf as MMS?

Hi All
I tried to send a contact detail from my note (2.3.6 official rom with root and Franco kernel #6) and it turned the sms to mms?!
I could be wrong, but think that's normal?
Text message is purely text whereas contact is text, image, ringtone etc etc...

I do not think so, since I did not notice that during my using to HTC Sensation, but will try with some other devices tomorrow.
A VCF won't fit in the 160 character limit of an SMS, it'll always send it as an MMS with the .VCF as a binary attachment.

It there any thing can be done to change that limit?
I think that text capacity. Although newer phones allow you to input more characters, they're actually sending out multiple texts. If you've got an old phone and receive a long text it's broken into multiple texts.

If you send a vcard from an HTC phone, and import to another phone manifacturers device, you will often see something in the "Extras/notes" window saying "HTC:;data-bla/bla-yay/I'm a HTC phone/yayy." Basically there can be anything in a vcard, even weird code each brand reads differently. So I think you sometimes would get a freaking long sms message, hence the vcard needs to be one file, not reassembled from small parts.

cannot recive sms on my htc sensastion xl :(

hello.
cannot recive sms on my sensation xl, but i can send sms well, i tried my sms in an old mobile and there it works, but when i mount it back in my htc, i cant again recive sms, my phone is running ICS but had changed the sms app to Android 4.1 JB Messaging SMS and it is justed to work but now it dont work
what to do
my phone is running insanely cool sense v2.2.1 if that helps
and after i tryed another phone and went back to my lovely htc it cannot find any signal
now i had found a tempory way to send sms, i used an old backup when my phone worked with that rom and then it works again, but at the same time i installed the update to the sms app the whole think died agian, installed the backup again and now i dont install the update... but why dont it work ?
Think so the JB sms app doesnt wrk with the mobile radio
Or
Not properly configured for the msg center.
Also kindly do double check msg center number.
With JB sms app installed, use alternative msging to send and receive a sms. If tat work then there is some prob with the JB sms app..

if i use the old jb sms app then all works great, also with other sms apps, but if i update the jb sms app to the new one all goes down and i can only send sms and not receive sms, i had checked the msg center config and number and it is all the same with the old and the new jb app.
