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 can't seem to find anything about this error, so i'm not sure if i'm using the wrong search keywords or i'm the only one getting it.
Sometimes when i'm chatting in gtalk on my PC, my captivate keep binging the notification sound telling me there are new messages when ever the other person sends a new message. This can't be normal and it doesn't seem to happen all the time. Maybe about half the time and it's f'n annoying.
Can anyone tell me what i'm missing and how to get it to not alert me when i'm already chatting in another window?
Thanks
Hi. Long time iPhone user but new to Android as of two weeks ago. Bought the HTC One (AT&T) and am loving it so far.
However, I have been having issues concerning notifications through a couple apps. Specifically the MLB At Bat app and the CNN app. Let me start by saying that I have received notifications without issue when it comes to email, texts, and Facebook.
Now, with At Bat, I have notifications set up in the settings for the app (specifically for my favorite baseball team), and I technically do get notifications. What I mean by that is, if I happen to turn on my phone, I will see that a notification previously came in. However, I do not receive any audio or vibration feedback to accompany the notification. So, the phone doesn't actually alert me. The same case is true with the CNN app. In the settings for the app, I have set up to receive notifications for breaking news. Again, I technically get the notifications sent to my phone, so they will be there when I happen to check the phone for whatever reason. But when the notification is sent, I am not alerted in any way (no tone or vibration).
As I said before, I get notifications (accompanied with audio tone and vibration) without issue when it comes to emails, texts, and Facebook. I have scowered the system settings and the settings on the individual apps but everything appears to be in order. Thanks in advance for any help or direction you fine folks can provide.
edit: Also, I have uninstalled and reinstalled both apps, but nothing has changed.

i think that android apps are not AS GOOD AS IPHONE's.......
its more apps developers problem than HTCONE......
i think you gotta sell this one and buy iphone 17S....
PS. sorry i just had to write that......
So I have a situation here... On my lovely Note 4, I was experiencing some problem with messaging. It'd gotten really slow, specifically when I'd attempt to reply to a text, half the time the keyboard would stutter and I'd have to retype most of the message. It got so infuriating that I ended up ordering the Note 7, which had no issues after I transfered all my things over via Smart Switch (so all 25,000 messages...).
Well, we all know what happened with the Note 7... I don't know if it's a memory difference, or the fact that the "Messages" app on the Note 7 was just that much better (loved the new keyboard too!) that it could handle all those messages without issues or what. But now that I've been forced to go back to my Note 4, the Messages app crashes if I go to one of the conversations that had a lot of texts.
That brings us to my question. What is the best way to delete messages that are already there? It has options to delete anything more that X amount of messages, but that doesn't help in conversation threads that are already there. What I have done to fix at least one conversation thread was to re-do the backup to my SD card of the messages, but only past 3 months instead of all, then delete the conversation thread, then restore via Smart Switch the messages again.
But I have a few other 'conversations' to do that to, and was wondering if there was a better method out there?
My phone is rooted, so there shouldn't be an issue there.
If you set the text limit, it should delete old texts afterwards. Like form 1000 to 200, but it takes time afterwards I believe.. It worked on all other previous galaxy phones that way that I've had since the nexus

Thanks for answering and if this is a big problem being encountered by many users, why is it not being discussed?
Let me try this MacroDroid app. & hopefully it works satisfactorily.

Thanks for replying. I have been able to get the above and implement it, but i am facing 2 issues -
1) I get the same sound notifications for all my Gmail accounts, i just see my primary account for auto syncing . How to correct this.
2) In speak text, i have written Gmail. Macrodriod repeats/speaks "Gmail" twice or more times.
Please advise. Again, thanks for your help.

Finally switched to Blue mail and everything is almost perfect now, though as per what i read, my information may be compromised.
I am getting instant mails and notifications now, much better than my notifications of gmail on this & other mobile.
Just been having this same issue for months on my Canadian Note 8 and it's been since the June 1 security patch update. Gmail is delayed (seen upwards of a bit more than an hour), Samsung's default Messages app sometimes is delayed as well (but if I have my Gear S3 on the text will come through on that but not my phone which is weird AF) and then a couple authenticator apps that send push notifications also don't come through or are very delayed. It's starting to piss me off and got no help thus far from Samsung. If this isn't fixed soon then it's my last Samsung device I will ever buy.
Forgot to mention, also tried factory reset and still not working (along with now the Messages app is stuck on an older version and won't update so now I can't even use custom notification sounds per thread anymore). Absolutely ridiculous! I know I can sideload the updated version but I shouldn't have to do that, so frustrating!

Finally moved on to BlueMail after trying to sort out Gmail issues for 8 months or so.
Everything sorted out and gmail notifications now come in a jiffy .
