SMS reply goes to wrong contact. - HD2 General

According to the about I have "Messages for Pocket PC" v1.8 - build 2016.1228.
I'm using duttys New Era v1, Been happening for a while now using previous versions of duttys HG too (Tho not seen any other reports).
If I receive a message and reply it gets sent to another contact, typically the last contact i sent a message too or received from.
Anyone else have this issue or a fix for it.
You can work around it by always doing a new message but this is a bit annoying.

that's a strange one, does it still say at the top of the message you are replying to the right contact?

Yeh, Messages appear correct in conversation mode.
I only found out when a friend said he got some messages with no idea what they where about

that's quite random, although there was something like this a few months back, they did get it sorted but they hard reset and re-flashed there rom if i remember, you're contacts aren't messed up though are they?

Don't think so, Not noticed anything.
I always softreset after a flash.

Text messages: 1 unread

Hey guys,
I got a small problem, basically awhile ago, i received an sms, and i read it, but did a soft reset shortly after, anyways, when it booted back up, it still said 1 unread sms on my today screen, and so i went into my inbox, and couldn't find it.
Since then, i've cleaned up my entire inbox, but my today screen still says 1 unread message.
Is there anyway, i can have it back to normal? So it says 0 unread sms's without doing a hard reset?
It might be an undeleted Notification Que. Have you tried Check Notifications by scarybear to clean it up. Here: http://scarybearsoftware.com/ppc_cn_overview.html

Neat lil program, but still saying one unread!!! This thing is really frustrating me.
I remember I had a similar problem but on a different phone. Basically, did you transfer and use your SIM on another phone? If your answer is YES, just plugged the SIM back in to the other phone and delete the unread message. Then return the SIM to your Universal, and you won't have the unread message anymore. This worked for me, I hope it would worked on yours too.

What do you mean exactly? I havn't made a backup of anything really... and i really don't want to hard reset my device...
I know but this little program fixes poom db....
In case you have not tryed the obvious first....do this.
Open up you inbox, then in the top right hand corner there is a drop down "Sort by menu".... make sure that you have "Recieved" selected there.
Hope that does it for ya.

SMS messages are being resent over and over again

I just flashed my Cingular 8125 to TNT.20273 "Professional Home Free" and I am having a serious problem with SMS: Every message I have sent since the flash (4 of them) keep getting resent over and over again. After a soft reset, the messages will get resent the instant I open the Messaging app to the SMS account. Even without a soft reset it seems to resend them every so often.
My best guess is this is some sort of feature where it is not getting a delivery receipt so it's resending the messages. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I am on AT&T.
it's been reported by many that if one have apps set to really close rather then minimize
and close outlook before one recieve the msg is sendt notification
that the msg is sendt more then once
My apps are not set to close rather than minimize. And this isn't just sending them "more than once" - it's tons and tons of times. Those 4 SMS I sent yesterday have been resent literally over a dozen times over the last 12 hours.
First of all, you most likely DO have a program that closes apps. It's part of the Pro Edition, and it's probably part of the build you installed too, and it's called "CloseApps." Even though your symptoms are worse than most people who experience this kind of fault, it's still the same type of fault, and is probably being caused by CloseApps.
Try posting your issue on the TNT.20273 thread. The one that cooked that ROM may have already addressed this issue, and if not, you might get some debug help from that person, or at least get help from people who use that ROM.
Posting on a generalist board like this might net you good info, but usually it won't.
Same problem. Solved by flashing another ROM (WM6.1.Rus.Clean)
the way to verify if it's the close program which cause it is to not close poutlook
untill after the msg was sendt notification is recieved
a number of other programs cause this problem as well, including spb pocket plus

Which, I believe, is also part of the package that OP installed.
It is definitely NOT caused by the problem you guys are saying, as I have send an SMS, and left Outlook open all day and that same SMS gets resent several times. It will literally never stop sending until I delete the SMS and then remove it from my deleted items.
The problem appears to be that I am never getting the message receipt notification. I get the notice that it has been sent but I never get one saying that it was received, even though I turned that option on.
However, you're probably right that it's caused by the build I got so I'll just switch to a different one for now.
Thanks for educating this noob out.
when I have this problem I find that the text is stuck in the sent items folder....just delete to remedy issue....

Sent from my Egyptian Galaxy Note xD using DarkyROM 3.4

all empty message shown in TF3D tab?

after i finished sending an SMS, the deliver receipt comes back but at the same time the phone hangs suddenly (i found it hangs frequently, when multiple applications running simultaneously)
so i did a soft reset, boot back, and see an empty message showing as the 1st one in the Message tab... (like attachment, no name, no content)
it just wont go away, even if i received new messages it stays.
if i select Menu->Reply, it behaves composing new message
if i select Menu->Delete, nothing happens.
the Menu-Forward option is gone.
any ideas?
the topic's a bit confusing...
i should say just one of the SMS is totally empty..
i doubt that it's caused by SMSDRFix..
anyone experienced similar problem before?

What is SMSDRFix??
Hi there. Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I am experiencing exactly the same issue, but would like to avoid a hard-reset if possible.
Thanks for any advice!
same problem here

Hero and SMS

I've had two episodes where I sent a SMS to my dad, and the SMS shows up in the list of messages sendt to my sister -> My sister got the SMS.
Another example: I sent a SMS to my friend, and it shows up in the list of messages to my uncle. My friend answered the message.
Anyone else experienced something similar?
Is there a fix?
Can't say that I've ever had that happened unless I mistakeningly sent it to the wrong person. Human error rather than device error.
I'm sure you uncle must have enjoyed the message.
Have you thought that maybe your numbers are messed up?? Or maybe all your contacts are switching with each other to mess you up.
Yep, chedked the numbers. This is definately a device error.
I had this self same problem yesterday! I thought it was me.
I sent an SMS to a friend called 'Ross', it showed up as Ross in the 'To' field but when I went into my sent messages it had gone to a friend called Robert. This occurred twice - but hasn't with subsequent messages.
Weirdest thing isn't it?
Now, how do we go about fixing this?

You need to email HTC support like with any issues / bugs you find or they will never know about them. Then hope they bring out a software fix. If we don't tell them, they will think its only a handful of people and not bother to do anything.
Also make sure your contacts' numbers are correct.
I have had the same problem, but the message hasn't actually been sent to the wrong person. It seems that it gets confused about who the person is. In my example the person I texted began with Dan and the second Theresa, so not next to each other in contacts. Theresa didn't say she had received something from me.
Same problem here
I did report this to HTC along with not getting sms and getting multiple of the same sms. All they suggested I do is a hard reset (already done) which did not change anything. Not very happy with them they didn't day it was a software fault or a fix was coming
They gave me the same response (although I only reported not getting all messages). If the hard reset didn't work they said to get the phone replaced. Its definitely a software fault so I am not replacing it, seeing as others have had issues with dead pixels etc...
It's only a display problem, you just close messages then reopen it, or go to the messages tab of the contact you sent the text to then click on the message and it'll correct the names.
I've had a similar issue once! Strange experience: I actually thought I had sent all kinds of SMS-es to the wrong person ;-)
In my case the names changed back automatically after about 30 bewildering seconds. Never had an issue since.
I have uninstalled Handcent SMS that caused several conflicts on my Hero, inclusing SMS-es not arriving at all. I might have had the 'wrong name' issue when I had Hancent installed. Don't really remember.

All SMSes disappeared with no warning...

I had the phone for a week now, did couple of factory resets (when playing around with stuff), and yesterday morning I permrooted and HBOOTed the phone...
The phone overall works great, really no complaints, but 10 minutes ago I receive an SMS and open up Messages, and the only SMS I have the in whole app is the one that I have received...so all my SMSes (5834 to be precise) have vanished into thin air...
I am doing another restore right now, thank god I have it on the card...
It's pretty worrying that the phone would be so unrealiable to erase information...
There are two more guys with DHDs on AndroidForum with the same issue:
http://androidforums.com/desire-hd-support-troubleshooting/214946-sms-have-all-disappeared.html
Has any1 else had that happen?
happened a few times to me too, but cannot trace it down to a specific reason...
this IS annoying and forces me to backup my sms on a daily basis!
Wow, that definitely blows...and you have stock DHD, so rooting/HBOOT mods are definitely not the reason...
If it will be a regular occurence I might as well throw the phone in the trash, coz to backup 5000+ SMSes on daily basis, no thank you...
iPhone had no issues with all those SMSes for years, it can't be the sheer number of them...
Nope not to do with size as it happend to me and i only had 300-400 texts altogether before it happened. Btw when it happened to you did ur messages app FC then u have to restart only to find no texts?
Whoa this worries me, how should I go about backing up my messages? I'm all synced with HTC Sense, won't that keep em backed up?

Elaborate on the question a little bit for me, I didn't quite understand you!
I received a SMS, and I just wanted to send a text back, pressed Messages only to find it's completely blank.
Restarted the phone and nothing still blank.
I also had an issue with it today that it didn't store calls I made in Call History, after I restarted it, it started working again though.

SMS Backup & Restore by Ritesh Sahu...it's avalabile on the market...HTC Sense can only back them up, but not restore them back to the phone (not that I know a way to anyway)...
http://android.riteshsahu.com/apps/sms-backup-restore
This presents a real problem for me, as it makes it a useless phone...I need a phone for calling and SMSes primarily...everything else comes second...
This happened to my Desire Z today, at around the same time as the OP.

There is an app in the market that you can use to backup and restore messages to and from ur gmail acc. this app also has an setting to backup an sms right away when it receives one. dont know the exact name (phone battery empty) but i found it when i was searching for backup sms in the market.
Hope this helps you.
Sorry for my vague description, here it is again in more detail
I received a text message from a friend and i received a notification in my noti-bar
I pulled the bar down and click the message, it then tried to open the messages apk
it force closed saying htc.messages.apk or something hast FC'ed...
I thought lets just restart and it will all be happy days again
I restarted and open the text fine, but when i pressed back to go into my inbox i noticed there were no other text message!
And that's exactly how it happened

Ah ok, now I got it!
As far as I can recollect there was no app crash on mine, just pulled up empty file.
I thought maybe when I restart the phone things will get back to normal (like they did with call history), but it didn't...Messages were still blank.

Hmmm...this almost makes me wonder if this is somehow not related to HTCSense.com...
It's just weird that it happened to both of us at about the same time...
If it happens again I'll disable syncing with HTCSense (it's more or less useless anyway, I have local file backups of both), and see if it happens after that...
My HTCSense message log is completely empty, too. I don't think it ever worked.
I had this happen a few weeks back. I opened a new text message and the messages widget crashed. All my messages seem to have been deleted. I was quite concerned as my messages contain important information (I did got to the trouble of migrating them from my old phone)...an email from HTC to see if the emails were deleted (or just not visible as some have reported on other forums) and if there was a way to get them back elicited this response:
Thanks for contacting HTC.
We appreciate your support for our products.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for bringing your concern to our attention. With regard to your question, unfortunately, once messages are deleted from the SMS widget, you can no longer retrieve it, unless you have a back up from your SD card or to your SIM card.

Needless to say this jumble of standard form responses did not answer my question. A further question about how I could possibly avoid this situation in the future; their response...
We appreciate your support for our products.
Thanks for the update. With regards to your concern, please be advised that this is a rare issue that happened to your phone. We will forward this concern to our technical support team for future developments. We advise you to perform a soft reset on your phone. To perform a soft reset, remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, and then re-install it. After re-installing the battery, turn on the phone.

Rather than bash my head further against a brick wall, I downloaded an app to forward my SMS messages to my gmail as a safe guard and copied what messages I could from the only part of HTC sense that was partially working for me.
I had the same with my HTC Desire Z
I received a SMS, and when I opened it, all my messages were gone, except for the received message.
I read in the official android bug-forum, that this might be a issue with sqlite, but it has not yet been fixed in android 2.2. luckily I just migrated everything so most of my sms are in a backup.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5669
I have had the same issue a few times with the Desire HD ROM running on my HTC HD2...this is ridiculous.
Guys, I experienced these as well. I realised that when this happens, my messages are actually in HTCSense.com... The weird thing is, before having my DHD I was using HD2 with DHD rom... Then when I got my phone 2 days ago, those sms' which were not supposed to be in this phone reappeared... All the histories I had in my HD2 were in... I suppose this is an act of HTCSense.com...
me too!
This happened to me a few days ago..
I went to reply to a text message that I'd forgotten about and my list was blank!
I went to create a new text and it popped up saying the messages app had crashed.. I killed the process and no luck - crashed again.
Restarted the phone and the messages were still gone..
In terms of non-stock apps/configuration that may be worth mentioning I have:
Android Task Killer
Superuser/VISIONary
Titanium Backup
The only other thing I have done is enabled usb diagnostics (recommended in another thread to stop the occasional lag).
Anyone got any ideas?
Now it happend to me, too!
Performed a hard reset on tuesday and everything went finse since than. SMS were automaticly backed up from HTCSense. But 10 Minutes ago all my text massages were gone... They are still on my HTCSense account - but how to restore???
Thats a mess...
Tough luck guys!
I guess I won't be logging in to HTC Sense anytime soon
Tried to restore my SMS with my SMS BackUp programm. Got the notification "Successfully restored 119 items (2663 dups)."
But on my DHD are only the 119 sms...
Seems that there are still some left-overs the massage widget cannot read.
Ideas anyone?
Nobody an idea? or the same problem?
