EDIT: Found the problem, mods may lock/delete.
Hey guys
I just reflashed WRE onto my SXL, and I get the "message not sent" message when I try and contact some people, but others work perfectly fine.
Any ideas?
Sorry for anyone who saw the basically empty post. I accidentally hit enter after I did the Captcha and it posted, and it wouldn't let me edit for 5 minutes.
How about sharing the problem/solution so other members with the same issue can solve it without creating new thread

I just assumed nobody would ever encounter this issue because it is due in part to my stupidity
I backed up all my Google contacts to a CSV file so I could edit a bunch of them easily, and all the ones I edited had the leading '0' from the phone number field omitted due to Excel treating them like numbers instead of strings.. .
So I just had to put the 0 back.
Also when will I get to not wait 5 minutes between edits? It's a tad annoying when I just want to fix a spelling error or something.

FYI you can edit your contacts on a PC in your google acount settings (if you didnt know already)

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!
I JUST NOW realized there is an HTCSetupWizard.apk and a SetupWizard.apk.
Does anyone know if we need both of these?
I'm gonna try removing one and re-flashing to see what happens
Let us know. I think one is for the initial phone setup. I removed the HTC one and nothing bad happened. Atleast not that I know of.
I can confirm that without either of the setup.apk's a fresh rom flash will loop at the point that a setup program is supposed to run
well, I couldn't get a fresh flash to work with just the SetupWizard.apk (the smaller one). I gave up on it as I was also having trouble with some other stuff I was trying to achieve.
At the suggestion of someone who is much smarter than me I looked in my build.prop and found 3 instances, all toward the bottom, of the following line: ro.setupwizard.mode=
2 of them said =DISABLED and one said =OPTIONAL
Anyone know how to use these lines as they are intended? I did a very small amount of searching, it was late.
I havent tried using just the HTCSetupWizard.apk w/o the SetupWizard.apk so that may work, not sure yet.

My Guess as to why there are two:
1st HTC setupwizard is the initial setup that you see when you boot the phone. The 2nd setup wizzard is the GMail setup that you enter when you setup your gmail account. Then it goes back to the HTC one when setting up Exchange, Fbook, and Twitter...
Just my theory from going through that process oh I don't know 2.5 million times in 7 months.

Can you still report that removing HTCSetupWizard.apk has no effect on the phone?
Can you still go into settings - accounts - and enter facebook, twitter, flicker, and gmail account information.

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.

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!
Hi,
Im currently using PA 2.57.4 by Utacka. A very great and stunning rom. However, i cant find the contact chooser for sms messaging, its very uncomfortable go type everyone's first few numbdrs to get the suggestion. And also gou cant copy the contact phone number if you open kt as a pop up.
Can you pleasr guide me how to solve these problems? Thanks!

did you try posting your query in the rom thread ? maybe others using the rom facing same problem ?
Hi, thanks for your reply.
Well to be honest i dont have enough permission to post there.. I dont want to spam for posts, so i havent reached 10 posts yet. I think many guys are facing this issue but just ecause i use this function like everyday so its a little irritating...

Just returned to PA 2.57.4 Utacka's ROM after going back to stock to await upgrade. Not sure I understand the problem ? If I want to send a message I choose the message icon from the dock. On the page that opens I choose the message with a + in the lower left corner, which opens a keypad, any letter I type brings up a list with that letter from my contacts list. Choosing from that list starts a message to be sent. I can also get to the type a message screen straight from my contacts list by selecting the message + icon next to the contact name. Is this what is missing for you?
Hello,
I've uploaded a couple of mp3 files to use as notification sounds for gmail and my email client. I placed them in the ringtones folder on my internal sdcard, like I always do with my Nexus 4 (which always works). However on my One m7 they are not showing up in the list of sounds.
Does Sense 6 require they be placed in the system or should they be read on the sdcard as I am a bit stumped by this?
Thanks.

Do you have the files in the right format? They should be .ogg files.
Oh right, I assumed like aosp they would read mp3 too.
Ps. Tried converting the mp3 to ogg, still not showing up in the list.

Mine are in the Ringtones folder on the sdcard. Did you reboot your phone after placing them there? You also might check in /data/media/0/Ringtones.
