Hello, got my Htc desire z last night and wanted to transfer my sms messages from my old touch pro onto it. Finally managed to get that done but the inbox and sent messages from my contacts appear individually listed and not merged in one screen as on the touch pro.
So i can see everything i have sent, and everything i have received but in different threads from the same contact.
Any ideas on how this can be merged? I did a search and found someone a while back with this problem but there was no solution.
Can anyone help please?

MDA Touch Plus..recently just had it back from repair, but they have also done a software upgrade.
Unfortunately now my text messages are threaded and showing "Conversation with" and just the mobile number. Therefore I have to look up my contacts for who is sending me a text message.
Been through all the settings and I have deleted all sim contacts from my contacts list.
Racking my brains here, any help guys how to get it back so i can see contact names again in my messages? I dont mind if they are still threaded so long as I can see who it is.
thanks in advance.
My wife's got the same issue. Just been back to T-Mobile for repair, got the latest firmware installed and now contacts aren't being recognised in the threaded messages.
A temporary fix seems to be to amend the contact mobile number to start +447xxx rather than 07xxx and this seems to work, but as she's got a couple of hundred contacts (uses her phone for work as well as personal use) it's gonna take some time to update them all.
Don't have this issue with either my Diamond or my Trinity (both also running WM6.1).
Any further help appreciated!
One option might be to disable threaded SMS - install this cab and all should be well again.
Hope that works for you!
Message thread resolved.
It works! Many thanks Khrushy

Youre right, been onto tech guys, this is the only cure at this moment in time. Took me half an hour to change all the contacts to +44 but its workable now. Thanks for your suggestion Martins40
Hi there,
I have an HTC titan, i went to transfer my contacts from an okta boss (libr100) using sprite backup
I put them onto the titan fine, i can go into my contacts to send texts and make calls however, when i go into the text messages there is only a number there, no name.
It is really confusing, I have read that others have had issues similar but have not managed to find an answer that works.
Help would be great

Hi all,
Before upgrading the ROM to the official HTC WM 6.5, I backed up all of my text messages using PPM Backup. When I finally restored them afterwards, I found that the message threads have been put together by WM completely out of order.
Essentially all messages sent by me are listed as "most recent", with the messages sent by the other person are "less recent".
This wouldn't be a big deal if my message threads were 4-5 messages long, but when they're more like 300 messages (say, between me and a girlfriend), I would have to flick through page after page of my old messages just so I get to one of her most recent messages.
Is there any fix for this? Any program that can restore them better? Anything at all?
Thanks,
WM (no relation)
hi guys,
kindly assist in this as im having the same issue
Hi guys,
I've searched the forum but couldn't find an answer so here goes...
In the HTC (SMS) messaging app (conversation mode) I am getting two entries for every person. Pressing either one, for the same person, brings up exactly the same messages. I've had a look in traditional mode and the messages themselves are not duplicated, neither are they when displayed in the Sense UI thingy!
I'm hoping this is just going to be some sort of database/text/xml file problem which if deleted will be re-built but things are never that simple!
I'd prefer an answer that doesn't involve a hard-reset as there are LOTS of text messages I'd rather keep (and again, the messages themselves are not duplicated, just their initial thread display entry in conversation mode)
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Check your contacts and see if they are not duplicated...
Have you used PIM backup? I get the problem when restoring messages from that?
Hi guys,
Thanks for your replies.
@DeadVirus: I've just checked my contacts and there are no duplicates on my phone and my SIM has no contacts on it.
@corny2007: I haven't used any kind of PIM backup software.
However, rather oddly, the problem has sort of fixed itself. By "sort of" I mean everything has returned to normal for all except one thread.Typically it's the one thread that probably gets used more than any other (you guessed it... its for a woman! ) and its probably the one that I least want to lose texts from!
I'm wondering if this is being caused by duplicate texts on the phone and SIM. Is there any software that allows the deleting of text messages on a SIM?
Once again, thanks for your help, any further assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Okay, so I've found a "fix" for the one remaining duplicated thread: Delete all the messages and then undelete them one-by-one (which is no small task, given there is probably about 200 messages!).
Anyways, its fixed now. Thanks guys for your help.

For the SMS problem use a non-stock sms app. Download GoSMS Pro or Handcent SMS. Do not uninstall the stock app but just take out the notification from stock app. I'm using GoSMS and it's better than stock IMO. You can for example backup your SMS to sd with it.
You could also try to use another dialer to correct the call problem. Go Dev team has also Go Contacts that provides you with Go Dialer. I'm using these also
For the contact thing. Have you tried to take off the Syncing of contacts from Accounts&Syncing?
Have you thought about installing a custom rom? There's nothing wrong with your phone, those are plain software issues...

well i dont want to install any custom rom...ill spent a whole day in rooting it thn a new update is gonna be available very soon...thn again ill come to custom rom...that seems to b a complete waste of time...
I had the same issue with the contacts, but once I deleted the duplicates (and not transferring from the old phone since they were already backed up on my google account)
select to view and take off SIM contacts. clears up a lot of the duplicates issues.
Search sms time fix in the market, when installed set it to use phone's time.
fixes the issue. The new 2.36 ruu doesnt fix the time issue.
The DHD will try to merge all your contacts from all your linked accounts. I had a similar problem as HTC Sense for Facebook and Twitter will run alongside the Facebook and Twitter apps. You need to check sync to make sure you don't duplicate accounts. Remove the duplicate accounts could help your problem.
