So this has happened twice so far on my unlocked N9, I got a text message from a contact, and up top instead of showin* their name it showed their number followed by /[email protected] and it didnt let me be able to respond back. Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks.

Yes, thats what happens if you get a text from an email - like someone unknowingly texted you from an email address like on an iPhone. IIRC

Thank you for responding, this was a text sent from my brother from his android phone. Not from an email or an iPhone.
Ok, so I got a group chat from my bro yesterday, it came through at 7:35 pm last night, but the time stamp was from 5:07 am. Anyone have any ideas of what’s causing this?

It began when I received a MMS...this was a second attempt MMS because the first one wouldnt download so I told him to resend it...the second one didnt work either but ever since the second one it says I have one unread text...I tried deleting both of those MMSs and nothing...then I did the s/w update that was just released and still nothing...now Ive deleted all my messages and its still there!?! Its not a big deal but its getting a little annoying...any ideas?

Try emptying the "deleted" folder?
Haha...I did but nothing...thanks tho!
Some softresets or just turning off the phone and turning it on again?
Should solve those kinds of mistakes...
I assume it's the same problem as with my X1i I had once. The message box is showing an unread message, but in fact all messages have been signed as "read" or it looks like there is a hidden message you can't mark as "read".
In order to get rid of this I used a tool provided here on the forum which removes that issue so use it and please give feedback if it worked out:

good luck mate !
its not a bug. it says unread text because youve not recieved your mms yet. i had the same thing. its still waiting for you to receive and read it, until you download and recieve the mms you will still have the alert. have you checked your mms settings? make sure your account is set up properly. the first mms i get on a phone is always a pain, but after that they should all work fine. i had to manually click on the notification and download it. it came through in the end.

Thanks...but after I installed it nothing happened...am I suppose to do something after its installed or does it just fix it?
Actually after doing some searching I am guessing that the program just adds the option of marking all as read and ive done that with no luck...plus ive deleted the whole inbox and still nothing...

I believe it is a bug because I received a mms correctly the day before...which was my first one... and I also manually clicked on the notification...I waited almost two days for it to come in before deleting my whole inbox...so I guess Im just stuck with my phone thinking Ive got 1 unread damn message...ugh

Actually I think this program is now making my phone freeze up over and over...
Soft reset really helped! But it didnt get rid of the 1 new text...lol...but now my phone is much faster and just overall much smoother...

you originally said that the first mms wouldnt download and he sent another one. until you download and read all the pending mms then it will continue to say unread. clearing your inbox wont make much difference since the message isnt on your phone its stuck somewhere out there on the network and your phone knows it lol. but i think they expire after 14 days or so. you might be able to reduce the expire time in the mms settings menu.
Oh, sorry I meant I got the very first MMS correctly...the second ATTEMPT on the second MMS is when the one unread message began to stick...but yea it will probably go away soon...should I change the validity period to 1 day? Or 1 week?
try it at as short as possible. hopefully that will clear it. if not, then you can try a program like "pim backup" to backup all your messages and contacts then completely clear all your accounts on your phone. you can then just do a restore to put all your messages and contacts back afterwards...
I've had an unlocked G1 for a while now and its been going great. Calls, wifi, tethering, mms, all of it works just fine.
The only issue I'm having is with my voicemail. When I call the AT&T voicemail number, it says it needs more information from me, it then gives me the option to enter the 10 digit number to leave a message, or press pound to access my voicemail. If I try entering my number to leave a message, it says it isn't set up and cannot leave a message. If I hit pound and try to access my voicemail, it says the mailbox number does not exist.
Anybody know how to fix this issue?

Use YouMail. It's really nice, has it's own app and you can personalize messages for everyone in your phonebook.

Thank you for the reply!
I actually had a friend who had an extra invite for Google Voice, so I got signed up for that and am using it for all of my voicemail needs.
Good to hear that your problem is solved.
Remember to edit the title of your new thread with FIXED or SOLVED so people like me don't stop by just to read that you fixed your own problem.
From: 1 (121) 611-611
Error invalid number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code.
Anyone else getting this, and has anyone been able to fix it?
I found a site with people having the issue with the iPhone and ATT, among other carriers. I deleted the conversation thread, deleted the contact, rebooted the phone, re-added the contact with the area code, and it is still trying to send the message without the area code. On a new message I can just add the area code, but when the person answers I hve to delete the thread and start a new one in order to reply. Very annoying and only with one person...
No one is getting this? I know what is going on, the phone is removing the area code when said contact responds to my text messages....there has to be someone else getting this Ive tredeverytging

hey im having the same problem, any fix yet? s0o0o0o0o0 annoying.
I am also having this issue. I have tried deleting msgs, contact, rebooting phone, adding contact on the sim and on the phone. I can compose the msg and click the person and it will show 1(XXX)XXX-XXXX and then when i send and go back into the msg it removes the 1(XXX). And leaves the 7 digits. I have had them send me a msg and it will show the complete number but as soon as I go back into the msg it only shows the 7 Digits. I have read that a reset fixes this but surely there is another way. It only does it to one person also.
Seems to be a bug in a particular version of the messaging app, as I had the problem on stock JG6 (?) and not on JM2. I haven't noticed the problem on JM5 (though I haven't used it long) and perhaps it's fixed in JH2? We can only hope!

none of my contacts have a 1 in front.
try that.
To test this from another phone I created a test contact with my own number in it. Saved it to my sim and left the 1 at front of the number. Sent that contact a text message and it came through correctly. Probably doesn't have an issue with the "1" and more likely another problem with the messaging app.
The only time I've ever received that message is when I've accidentally sent a text message to a contacts land-line instead of their cell.
Have you tried adding a + in front of the 1? So your number would be +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx.
Yep tried it

Yes I actually did try adding the + sign and then 1 and the area code and number and I am still receiving the error message.
I have a captivate and now when I text it puts all of my text one after the other and the other person I'm having a conversation with directly above. So it shows all of the recipients and then it shows all of mine. Very annoying......has anyone else experienced this issue? Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you're having problems with the sms time stamps. Download an app like SMS Time fix or something and calculate the times yourself and offset it.
Thank you I'll go try this right now

There is a sms history log. It will show all the back and forth conversation with a contact and put it in chronological order. It's a feature not a bug
You can reduce the message history in the menu settings of the sms app. By default it keeps 200 messages per contact.
I didn't see a post about this so I want to see if anyone else is having this issue. When I first got the phone and was doing something on the phone and a text message came in, the top of the screen would drop down with the message and a bar to type to reply. For some reason now, when I am using the phone I get a really tiny floating text message and I can't reply to texts from the screen I'm on any longer. If I click the floating text message it opens the messenger app. Anyone else have this issue? Phone is completely stock and up to date.

To go back to how you want it, settings...display...edge screen...turn off edge lighting.
Or just use 2 fingers to pull down more options like "mark as read" and reply
