So I have a weird issue. My last phone was a Touch Pro running winmo. So I had to go through a couple hoops to transfer contacts and sms threads. Contacts were easy just uploaded them to google and waited for my phone to sync. To transfer my sms threads I had to install a program on my TP called smsexporter and then output them and upload them to my Epic using SMS Backup and Restore. Everything transfered fine, all contacts there and all my sms threads. My issue is that when I try to send a text through one of the transfered threads I get either a Bad Phone Number error or the message just won't send. I checked all the numbers and they are correct. If I go through contacts and send a message I get the same error. However, if I start a new message and enter a phone number the message will send. After doing this the message will show in the transfered thread for that person and usually I can send test through the thread. My issue is it doesn't always work. So I have to constantly enter someone's number every time I send them a text. I've tried completely deleting a thread but I still get the error. Sorry for the long post just wanted to give as much detail as possible. Any help is appreciated.
***Bump***
I haven't been able to find any help on this. I didn't find another forum that mentioned the issue so I'm not alone, but no one on that forum knew how to fix the issue.
this used to happen to me on the moment. I had to delete the contact and then re create the contact and it would work fine after that.
I'll give that a try. I really didn't want to have to delete and reenter all my contacts. However, my contacts are synced with my gmail account so I wonder if the issue is a sync or format issue between gmail and android?

Same thing is happening to my phone
I tried deleting the contact and re entering it. That didn't work. I was able to send one text then the bad phone number error. This makes me think it might be a google contact sync error. Im going to try and delete and reenter through google and let it sync. If that doesn't work I really don't know what to do.

You should just factory reset your phome and sync your google again and see if you can send texts normaly, and if it works, then restore the sms threads and then try, and if it fails then you know the culprit

I am trying to sync contacts but nothing shows up?? No friends or info I need help!!
Get out more and meet more people.
If you are trying to get your facebook friends to show up in your contacts, go to contacts and hit menu view and make sure that facebook is checked.
Posting this in multiple threads to see if you get an answer will just get you flamed. Just an FYI.
I am to, I emailed HTC and this was their response:
Hello Greg, Thank you for contacting HTC. I understand how important it is for you to have your phone function the way it should. Right now there is an issue going on with facebook across all mobile devices, it is not specific to you or your device, we believe it is an issue with Facebook itself and hope that it is resolved as soon as possible. I hope that answered your questions, if you have any other issues or questions please feel free to contact us. HTC Technical Support.. [websites that I couldn't post]

facebook sync is working again as of 12:30 est
I am still getting the "service currently unavailable" message. maybe it is better to just sleep on it and try tomorrow.
It syncs my pic but no others doesn't even display any contacts to chose from...

Have to say, I removed my Facebook account from sync and tried adding it back. I can log in, but all my friends no longer show up and sync properly. So something still must be going on with Facebook.
Hopefully an update that will give us notification when a message is sent Something so simple and yet they can't implement it. How about facebook chat while we are at it. I heard rumors that Froyo should allow for push notification like it does with IPHONE. The IPHONE app is a more polished APP. Why can't they replicate that one for Android?
I am not a big facebook fan but I have friends( Yes I pay them monthly ) that likes to chat on it.
I never could get the facebook app that came with my phone to work, I ended up trying to delete it and downloading the android app from facebook.com. Works great so far except I can't (or don't know how to) accept friend requests with it.
It's not the Facebook app that isn't working. It's the Facebook for Sense that doesn't work. I've tried the suggestions above already.

This didnt work for me but there is an app called syncmypix in the market that works excellent.......
sycmypix
for all having issues syncing facebook contacts go to the market and download syncmypix and it does the job....
I don't think you guys seem to understand the problem. This isn't just sync'ing pics. If you wiped your Evo (or any mobile device) and try to load your friends from facebook, they won't sync.
IT'S A PROBLEM WITH FACEBOOK SERVERS!
Try it. Delete your facebook app and links, re-add them and try to sync again.
... Just installed Syncmypix and all it does is add photos. Nothing more. I don't know about others but this does not "do the job" of syncing facebook contacts. Just the pic.
Yes, this just started and you can search other web sites, many people are now reporting it. It's a problem on the server side at face book, they've changed something.

That is what I figured when I tried to view my "facebook phonebook" in my people directory.
First it said that I didn't have any friends, so I decided to do a refresh. During the refresh, I noticed that it just hanged (with the little circle spinning in the top-right corner). Then it exited out of the program saying "unable to connect"
ok i thought it was just me but hopefully they get this fixed cause i like being able to link my contacts
For some reason my Gmail App has stopped working properly about 1hr ago. Every time I open the app the conversations start loading then get to the bottom of the screen the force close message below pops up:
"The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. dumpstate_app_201008062027_com_google_process_gapps.log has been saved. Use *#9900# to copy out log."
No success after rebooting the phone several times. Can anyone please shed some light? I really have no clue to what happened ... now I have to use the email client .
Thanks in advance for your help, really appreciate it.
I just checked to see if it was a problem with the app itself and mine is loading all conversations fine. Did you delete or replace anything prior to?
No I didn't do anything to the phone, not even install or uninstall any apps. This is so strange.
Maybe try removing the account and doing it again... It shouldn't mess anything else up. I'll try it out on my phone now to confirm.
[Update] Wouldn't let me do it because it's the primary. A factory reset is the only way to completely remove it. You can try clicking on sync gmail to stop it and then click on it again to force a refresh. Idk if that'll fix your particular problem though
Try going to settings, applications, manage applications, menu button, filter, all. Select gmail, clear data and clear cache. Then do the same with gmail storage, then try to resync.

I did a factory setting, unfortunately it did not fix the issue.
It doesn't work...
Ok, after 4hrs of insanity trying to figure out what suddently went wrong with my vibrant. I came to a conclusion that it's not my phone because when I added my wife's GMAIL account, the force close did not come up and all the conversations were loaded without any issues.
Apparently, the server where my GMAIL account is located seems to have some problems since I keep getting sync errors with contacts and calendar as well.
Have you tried logging into your account from an actual computer? Perhaps there is a problem with your account. I know I had weird sync errors when my account got compromised by a spammer last month, and google locked my account until I changed the password.

The weirdest thing is when I used my PC I didn't encounter any issues... That's why I thought the problem came from the phone @ the beginning.
Since this morning everything seems got back to normal. All the conversations loaded no problem.

I'm getting this now, too. My first two screens of gmail are shown but if I scroll down to where it says "Loading conversations" the after a few seconds the error pops up. I wonder if there is a "bad"email in our inbox that the gmail app doesn't know how to handle - something along three lines of unexpected characters in the email header/subject/etc or some partis badly formatted or too long like the header or something in it. Tomorrow (Sunday) I will try archiving my old messages on gmail and see if that makes the error go away. If it does then it a pretty good bet that one of the emails is causing three problem (the app still shouldn't crash but it would at least help explain what is happening).

Well I was able to avoid the error by archiving or deleting old emails in the inbox. I noticed when you have a large volume in one single label it causes the crash while loading conversations. I do not think it comes from a "bad" email, it's just a glitch in the app itself that folks @ Google need to work on.
Another thing that I noticed is when I logged-in my email using Nexus One, the force close did not occur but there was a failed connection-try again message.
Same problem here, noticed it today... good to know im not alone heh, but like the OP said im pretty sure it is a glitch in the app, so we'll maybe have to wait for a fix.
Confirmed, only by trying to scroll down really fast (and I'm on wifi). This was not an issue on my g1, of course I was using custom rom's. It'll certainly be addressed.
I have not encountered this problem with the Gmail app yet but I have had the exact same issue come up with the Messaging app twice so far.
But the problem has not stopped me from using the Messaging app and I was able to go right back into it each time it happened. It happened once about 30 minutes ago, and another time over a week ago.
I think it may have to do with the 200 text limit that I have turned off. Since Inbox is at 173 right now with Outbox 89, last deleted a few days ago and also with 33 conversations.
It does get a little laggy too but I have noticed it lag with only a few conversations with maybe an overall total of 30 text messages. I never had it lag this much on the G1 and I would have over 1000+ text messages and with cyanogenmod.
I am having the same issue.
I am getting the same thing too.
Mine started late last week after I updated the Facebook app. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling (highly doubt it was related, but due to coincidence I had to try it) and it was doing the same thing.
I did a factory wipe - same thing. I ran fix permissions and rebooted - same thing.
I am not sure it is related to having too many items in one label as I have just shy of 300 items in my inbox, and I have had about the same (give or take 2-3) for months (I use many, many labels to manage things), but I am going to try to organize, move, delete, archive, etc. some of my messages and see what happens.
Google knows of the issue.

Thanks for the link. I haven't had time to search today while I've been at work.
FYI, it looks like this may have been fixed. Mine has stopped doing it this morning. Checking the issue link that laris posted, nothing confirmed from Google that it is fixed yet though. Couple of people reporting that theirs is fixed too.
Lately i've noticed my gmail won't sync. It says i have a new email but wont show it, and it wont load the rest of my read emails. It says no connection even though ive got 3g. And when i tried to add a new gmail account it wouldn't let me. I've been having lots of speed problems and now this so verizon is sending me a replacement. But i wanted to know if its just my phone or anyone else.
I had the same issue with new emails not showing couple of times a few weeks ago. Not sure what it was, but I went around it by searching for "is:unread". That brought it up.
Do you have a second email account fowarded to your gmail account, example I have a yahoo account and messages show up in main gmail inbox and in a specific "label" as gmail calls them for that account.

No I don't. I think I just have a defective phone. All the verizon reps at my store say I do, and so does tech support. They said my data wasn't being used to it's full or something. I've got a new one coming but I don't know how long it will take. The email thing's kinda bothering me. I'll try the is:unread thing. Thanks guys.
I had the same problem. Also wouldn't connect to my pc. I used another droid to make a copy of my sd card. Formatted the card. Reloaded all my stuff and put it back in my DX. Sync works fine and connects to pc everytime.
i am having the same issue and have followed what you have suggested doing with no change
I transfered all of my contacts from my iphone at a sprint store, but when i try searching for a contact when composing a new message, the phone cannot seem to recognize the contact name. This happens to the majority of my contacts, only a few actually work. Anyone know a fix or why this is happening?
thanks in advanced
**BAMMMPUU*
sounds like something got borked when transferring contacts. I would try linking the contacts with numbers in the Contacts app and then try it again and see if it works. Try a few, to see if its working. I manually enterred all of my contacts a while back when I switched from Pre to Hero to my google account (I know, there is an easier way, now). So I haven't had any contact issues.
It was happeneing to me too, but no port from iphone. Also when contacts would call it would only display there number even though the were already contacts with pictures.
I Just played with the contact settings and not sure how I fixeed it sorry.

Hello,
I just discovered that my outgoing mail via the tablet isn't working. I have some VERY important items sitting in the outbox. It turns out that once in "sending" mode in the gmail app that comes with the tablet, you cannot view what you composed although you can see the original, incoming mail. Therefore, I can't copy/paste my e-mail to send another way given the urgency.
If you can help me, I really appreciate it.

These are the steps I've taken and any possible pertinent info:
1) Yes, I have working internet access and restarts don't help
2) There are no Android Menu settings that I can adjust to make this happen that I have found after going through every one.
3) It was working until about 2 weeks ago apparently based on the send dates of what I just found in the outbox.
4) This is affecting BOTH the system mail app and the one for gmail. I just tested it to be sure. Incoming works fine.
5) I have noticed that it has not synced read or deleted e-mail since I got it which is very annoying.
6) I suddenly lost root a month ago (on Taboonay 2.2) thought I didn't do anything to affect it so I don't have any access to "behind the scenes" files to check any adjustments.
7) I try the sync options from the mail as well as account settings but get no change.
8) UPDATE: I took a chance and flashed back to 2.1 of Taboonay. I have root back somehow! However, the outgoing mail still won't work. I need to retrieve 2 important outgoing mails for work. I hope someone can help now that I have root access and have a fix. I thought of reinstalling the system app, but I can't seem to find it in the ROM. I might be wrong on whether this will help, hurt, or lose the outgoing mail.

Have you deleted or froze any system apps?
No.
I just tried a reinstall of this system gmail app but it wouldn't do it.

Well you could download a 3rd party app for a temp fix. But the next thing I would try is clearing the data for the email and gmail app.
