Every time i reply to a text, it attaches a 1 in front of the number, even if its store in my contacts without the 1. how do i disable that? its very annoying.
also, my text inbox, wont show TIME received, just the date. even if i just got the text a minute ago, my sent messages show the time. not received though.
any ideas?

I found this very odd, and couldn't find answers to it...but everytime I send a text, I close out to my homescreen and when I go back to the message log, the last text I sent is back in the "input text" part saved as a draft...but the message has sent cause I receive replies back.
This happens EVERY time. I've tried hard reset, I've tried pulling the battery...nothin.
Anyone else experienced this?
Yes, this also happens to me. It's not a bug. When you close out of the Messaging app too fast, it will save the message as draft but it will also send it if you pressed Send. This can get quite annoying sometimes since I'm used to closing out as soon as I send.
So here's my problem - when I read an e-mail from gmail on my computer, I get a notification from gmail on the phone that I have a new email. I guess when the new mail number goes down, it sends a notification, even though I haven't actually gotten a new email. For instance, if I have 10 unread emails in gmail, and read one of them on a computer, my phone will emit one notification, when the unread count goes from 10 to 9. It's starting to drive me nuts, but I can't find how to fix it.
Anyone else experience this? How can I fix it so that my phone gmail only gives a notification when a new email actually arrives? Not every time the unread count changes?
No responses...? I'm assuming either I wasn't clear or no one else is experiencing this...or that this is the norm and I'm bat****. Either way, I'd appreciate someone with some info to tell me which of these is the reality, cuz if there IS something I can do about it, I would really like to know. Or, if there's nothing I can do about it, to just make myself get over it lol.
Again, briefly: When I read a gmail email on my computer, I get a notification on my phone showing that the unread messages have gone down by one. Is there a setting so that I only get notifications when a NEW EMAIL actually arrives?
I swear I've been playing all around with gmail and can't figure this out.
Im having a problem with it telling me I have 10 emails in the application on phone, but I have to sync a dozen times for it to show me a few of them.
I have a problem with the incoming SMSs ,when I receive a sms the time on it is lagging behind my DELL STREAK set time,when I select either internet time or service provider time. Eg time set through internet is 7.00 PM but when I receive a reply for my msgs/sms it is 6.50 PM ,thus it is lagging behind,and the sequence of the msg thread becomes upside down.If I correct this lag by manually setting the time,my mobile clock becomes 9-10 mins behind actual time.how do i correct this?the sim works fine in other handsets.
Sounds like its the sms app itself, try looking through in app preferences for time stamp issues if that doesnt work try "go sms" free from the market, it has various fixes, troubleshooting options which may isolate the problem
Ya mine does the same thing on the Rogers network. It's pretty frustrating - I tried some different apps, the is an sms time fix on the market that worked, but then it broke my notifications, so the sms would come in showing the right time, but I wouldn't be notified of new messages, so that didn't work for me.
As mentioned above, the best remedy for me was to use another sms app, like go sms or I actually prefer Handcent SMS, all free from the market, Handcent SMS fixed the time issue and also has some other cool features that I like including an unread reminder etc.
I'm not sure why no one knows what causes this or how to fix it in the native app, but either way, the other sms apps are better anyway so you win in the end

What settings do you use on Handcent? I'm on Rogers too and my SMS come in with a -4 hour timestamp. Not all though, but some. So it's pretty weird.
isnt the time stamp on a text, the time it was sent not the time it was recieved. So maybe you phone is just taking ages to recieve texts?
No, it doesn't take 4 hours to recieve a text. Something is screwing up the incoming text's timestamp. When I get a text without first texting someone, it displays the correct incoming timestamp, but if I close Handcent and then open again, it will show that message as -4 hours. The minutes remain correct though. But if I text someone and they reply, the timestamp remains correct. Been trying different settings in the Recieved Messages menu. Provider's delievery report checked, unchecked. Handcent delievery report checked, unchecked. Combinations of the two. Offset recieved messages by -4 hours. Can't seem to fix that little quirk.
Hello,
I'm having something strange with my text messages on my ATT GS4. When I send a text, sometimes the reply will post on the message before my text... so if i send one or two messages, i may not even see it as its showing above my two texts, instead of just popping up at the bottom, under my text, make sense?
so weird...
Any thoughts?

Is your clock set to use the server time? Mine wasn't and my text messages were out of sync.
Well I found that the check box for provider automatic date n time was un checked. Will see if that's all it was...
My mother brought me her phone today with a problem that I can't figure out for the life of me. She has a Note3 and no matter what messaging app I (she) uses, for only one of her contacts, as soon as she types a message and hits send, it disappears. The person she is trying to text gets the message, and can respond without a problem, but she doesn't get the response. If I try to use Hangouts to send a text to that person it works, she can send and receive through that... What would the issue be? I have tried multiple text apps and none of them will let her text that one person......short of a factory reset is there anything I can do? I tried clearing data/cache.....
