Help!! Daughters phone problems - G2 and Desire Z General

I've searched but this is a recent problem and I found nothing exactly like what's happening to my daughters phone.
She has a completely stock desire z, on bell. She's had no problems really until tonight when she can't send messages to certain contacts? Or maybe she can't send messages to them until they send to her first. It's one of the two scenarios. Sorry I'm not much help, I'm on a samsung captivate. This is a recent issue as I said, and I should let you know she did her update through the phone to 2.3.3 recently, but things were fine after that update, just thought you should know.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Is there some type of blacklist option in the menu of the SMS/Messaging app?
I recently blacklisted a whole bunch of contacts in CM7. Before this, I had no idea that this was possible. I don't SMS much, so I have no idea if this was blocking SMS. But calls were not going through at all.
Maybe looking into if the same thing exists on the stock Bell ROM is a good place to start?

download handcent or chomp from the market(free), and see if using one of those fixes your issue. I had the same sort of issue, it worked for me and also I prefer handcent over any htc or stock android sms app. good luck

Thanks for the replies, I'll look into them both.

Also check that the phone numbers in her address book are listed as mobile numbers, not home or work.

I always suggest this first, factory reset.

Oh, I see you are also in Canada. When they made the area code mandatory before all numbers I had to edit some of my phone numbers in my contacts to include the area codes, or I would have the same problem.

Did you already perform a crosscheck by placing your simcard in her phone and vica versa?
Is she has the same issue using your phone but with her simcard, it's not phone/software related.

its on bell thats the problem
joking aside id try handcent or go sms, and double check she has the area codes put in. shouldnt matter if its saved as a mobile number as you can even text landlines now in canada and they convert text to speech on the landline end! unless bells rom has its own unique ability to not let u text a "home" or "work" number.

TMOUS HD2 Problem: Texts being recieved by multiple people!

My HD2 is sending text messages to other people that are in my text log. I don't know why. I've done a factory reset on it. I haven't installed any roms or anything. This is straight out of the box t-mobile hd2 (US). This is a serious breach of privacy if I'm texting my gf!
Please advise
Just from a quick google I found two other posts with this same issue on other websites.
hxxp://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=44927
hxxp://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/HTC-HD2/Have-to-exchange-my-HD2-but-just-for-a-new-HD2/m-p/340431
Only possible fix is replacing my sim card? Its less than a year old.
No one else on xDa having this problem?
I don't know what to do I bought the phone from someone online, I can't even get it traded from t-mobile.
no SMS problem here on AT&T with HD2 t9193
my texts work fine, except that if my friend replies in the same minute as me, their text goes above mine, but that is only minor nuisance. i haven't experienced anything you talk about. sorry i can't help.
wow, how am I the ONLY person with this issue on xda
I am having the same issue. It is sending texts to wrong person who is already in the text log...not to multiple people though. I bought my hd2 from tmobile store. I enabled the traditional mode in the text settings and that took care of the text messaging problem. looks like there is some bug in the sms software loaded on hd2.
me too.

Thank God I am not crazy. I thought that it was me. I sent a text message to one person and three people responded?!?! Irealized I was not crazy when two contact pictures showed up in the original persons thread of messages. I need to know what the fix is myself. I will call customer service tonight to let them know. I will report back with any news,
one of my friends had this same issue I planned on changing the rom on her phone but if something else works let me know thanks!

Do you mean add all the contacts "to" the sim card? All I have done was use the microsoft myphone feature to grab all the contacts. please clarify a bit for me. thanks.
Im having the same problem on my hd2 (us) as well. I even exchanged it and Iv had it for about 3 days and am still having the same problem. Does getting a new sim card for sure fix the problem 100%?
I returned the first HD2 I had and got another one. The problem went away until today. Not pleased. I swear, I have never had the amount of problems with a phone - out the box - that I am having with this phone.

There should be a program called SIM MANAGER you click on that and copy all your sim contacts to your phone. I think that is what he meant.
Have you tried removing HTC messaging and going with a different program?

Hate to not stay on topic here, but for this issue, I found out that hd2 uses client time for outgoing messages, but server time for incoming ones, which is why they seem out of order. Syncing the time fixed it for me.

No problem here..thats kinda odd indeed

Messages app problems

I have an HTC Legend (Vodafone Branded), that I am using unlocked in Lebanon.
Mobile phone numbers usually start with 03, and the International Country Code is +961.
When I send a message, it gets sent as 03****** and is stored in one thread. Then, when the same person replies to my message, it arrives as +9613******. The phone is considering them as 2 different phone numbers, and storing the received messages in a different thread.
Is there any solution? Shall I install a non-branded ROM or anything? Is there an app for that?
Btw, I have updated yesterday to 2.05.161.1 OTA, and now in addition to this problem, I have the problem of the SMS showing older messages first.
Handcent SMS doesn't fix the thread problem btw...
bump.... anyone?
The first problem I don’t recognize but I also have the problem that, when ever I got a new SMS, I have to scroll down to the bottom of the SMS list before I can read it. I did not have this problem before I did the update. I checked with a friend that has HTC Desire and he dose not have the same problem after the update. When he opens the SMS the list will show the last SMS that has received.
Same thing happens to me if I send a message to 09x xxx-xxxx, but if a message is sent to +385 9x xxx-xxxx it is in one thread, together with a reply. That's why I store all contacts with a country code (+385).

The ordering is a bug in the 2.05 update.
The thread problem might be easier to solve. Check if you have two contacts with the same number i.e duplicate contacts. If not that check if you have the number stored twice in the same contact. This might sometimes "confuse" the phone and lead to the above said problem. It happened to me when my google contacts got sync with my phone, I ended up having many duplicate contacts.

This is a bug in the latest Legend update [2.05]. The Desire is a different phone. The latest update it received was the Froyo update. The Legend is yet to get that update. And hopefully the update might fix the bug.
@ananthm2k5 thanks a lot, but the thing is that it is not even recognizing the number.... so the received messages get stored in a thread under +9613****** so it's probably not a problem of duplicate numbers or contacts.
I had a Telus HTC Hero before the Legend, and it didn't have this problem.
Is there an application I should install that could fix this problem, or would I have to debrand my Legend? And would debranding even fix the problem?
Thank you.
Generally when you have duplicate contacts the phone displays only the number .. but since you say you don't gave duplicate contacts ... I guess you could just back up and reset your phone to factory settings ...
Also ask the contact to call you ... see if it shows the proper contact or just a number ...
Installing other apps or debranding will not help ... you could try alternate messaging applications ... there are a quite a few .. look around the forums ... but I'm not sure about how good they are ... the default is good enough for me
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
Alternate messaging options don't fix the problem...
The weird thing is, that when they call me, it displays the correct phone number, and doesn't even show the +961 extension...
I haven't tried a factory reset, but I did try deleting all the messages... I'll try one asap... I just don't feel like restoring all the apps and contacts etc.... Do you know any good backup app that doesn't require root?

The Legend does a back up on its own ... its somewhere in privacy setting or something .. look for it ... and while doing a factory reset remove your SD card. ...
I just sold my legend and bought a Desire!
And im loving it!
That's what u all should
Alright, I have debranded my phone, and installed the official Europe HTC Legend RUU 1.31, but the problem is still there.
Also, meanwhile, I have contacted HTC Support, and here's their last reply:
Dear Marc,
I am afraid changing numbers manually is the only option I can offer you. According to your serial number, your phone is locked to Vodafone and has been purchased in Germany, which means it is not coded to recognise numbers from Lebanon. Your old Hero might be SIM free, that is why he can recognise the numbers. We do not provide unbranding services, as branded phones are property of respective service providers. As to 2.2 update, we don’t currently have the date of when it will be released to other devices.
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number 10GBCW34ENA000771.
Sincerely,
Viktor
HTC

However, my phone was not really locked to Vodafone Germany, since I could use my Lebanese SIM Card. I can use the phone, messages and mobile data. I also know that SIM Lock is not allowed in Germany. Shall I try to re-unlock it? Is there a way to know if my phone is somewhat locked or not??
My HTC Hero was locked to Telus, but I have gotten it unlocked by a third-party.
@Lola90, if you can find me a good deal, then why not?
what should i do?
Nobody has a solution to my problem?
Any recommendations? Rooting, custom ROM, anything?
factory reset did not work for you ?
No, it didn't work...
Any suggestion on what to do? Shall I try to re-unlock the phone, shall I install a custom ROM, or an Official North American, or Middle Eastern ROM, or is there an application that I can install?

[Q / Solved] Android loves everyone but my wife

I've read, searched and done my homework on this problem, but can't figure it out.
SMS works fine texting anyone in my contact list EXCEPT my wife. I can send a new message to her but I can't reply to an SMS she sends me.
Looking into the details of the failed SMS, it shows it is trying to go to 01214-xxx-xxxx. There's a 0 where there should be a +
Everyone else is +1xxx-xxx-xxxx.
Looking at the SMS she sends me doesn't have the +1 (like everyone else). All SMS TO ME are on the form xxx-xxx-xxxx and all replies +1xxx-xxx-xxxx EXCEPT my wife.
She's on Sprint, I'm on AT&T. The kids are on Sprint and can reply back just fine. They both have Android phones too. I can reply to the kids just fine.
One more possible clue, she was the only contact that somehow got on my SIM card. I deleted that off and just use my Exchange contacts now. However, that's still not doing it.
*** Solved ***
The issue was the Twitter contact I had for my wife. She and I both have Twitter accounts. We followed each other. The Twitter contact info looked correct but was causing issues.
To troubleshoot I first deleted the Exchange contact. Then she sent a test SMS. My phone interpreted her number with the culprit 0 IE 01xxx-xxx-xxxx instead of xxx-xxx-xxxx or +1xxx-xxx-xxxx.
... the SMS shows as coming from xxx-xxx-xxxx but something in my phone was still appending a 0 .... and my phone still knew my wife's name. So I knew I had some remnant of info of her in my phone. The only thing I could find was the Twitter contact.
I unfollowed her and readded her contact info. Presto!!! I can reply to her SMS texts now.
She's cheating on you
That "0" is the country code, but for some reason its using 2 codes (0 & 1) check you contacts and make sure her number is right in there also

But the thing is, everyone else can reply to her SMS just fine. Thankfully, I have an identical phone to compare with. Both my wife and daughter have EVOs on Sprint. I can reply to my daughter's SMS messages but not my wife's.
I think mr_billionaire is on to something, and I suspected the same. The international code is hosed somewhere. Under call settings I found an international code difference on my wife's phone (than my daughter's) under Settings, Call. My daughter's said 011, my wife's was 01. Changing it to my daughter's 011 didn't help.
It must be some way my wife's contact is stored in my phone.
mayb its got to do with call barring?
I'm just going to take a guess and assume that your sig is what your running for your phone correct? if so then I wouldn't be surprised if you were having that issue.
maybe...
what if you just hard reset your phone and see if that fixes it....I mean kinda sucks but might work
Try deleting her contact from your phone, SIM, and whatever server you sync with. Then have her send you a text and try again.
This is a known problem, Android doesn't like my wife either.. My wife keeps on saying that i'm cheating on her with my Android... Bottom line man... Give up, they will never get along..
ok I might get killed with this one - but did you reboot to winmo and see if you can reply to your wife yet? aint hd2 great? if android doesn't work, go winmo!
This looks like a candidate for failblog.

WinMo always used to work, but I figured I'd test again. I booted into Windows Mobile and sent a test and was able to reply back just fine.
Then I booted into Android and ran the same test, ...fail.
The contact should be identical in both since it is pushed from the Exchange server. However, I'm not trusting it. I'm going to delete her contact and re-add her.

Issues with txt messaging adding +1 to number

I am having trouble text messaging my mom because the phone is adding +1 to the beginning of her phone number. The text message never goes thru. When I send the text message by typing in the number it sends fine.the problem is only when I select the contact from list. The contact list does not have the +1 in it so I don't know where it is coming from
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Yea, i actually sat on the phone with verizon tech support for 2+ hours while they debugged this issue, turns out for some reason the +1 breaks it.. they never gave me an explanation, only a fix. Take the +1 out of the contact and make sure its saved and synced, you also need to nuke your message history after making the change or new messages will still have the +1 in front of them.

I tried taking it out of the contact # and killed the message history but still not working

I have the same problem...I don't get why this phone was released with so many bugs....I'm about to go get an Incredible
I had the same issue and was waiting for someone else to have this problem too. Removing the +1 on your phone contacts won't sync it completely it seems so once google syncs on your phone again the +1 will return. So what I ended up having to do is going on gmail on my pc and deleting all the +1 contacts in there. That did the trick right away. Hope this helps

same thing happened to me (sending a text to AT&T) - had to remove the 1 from all my contacts via GMAIL.
Now fixed
Strange. I don't have any issues like this.
I did have the same issue as the op described, but I think the ota update fixed it or the clean rom posted in the development forum corrected the messaging app. It definitly has something to do with the messaging app since when I installed handcent sms all my messages worked without the +1 being added.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I had the same problem and fixed mine..here are the steps I took.
Log into Gmail on your computer, go through all your contacts and take out the +1 as well as the dashes 123-456-7890 to 1234567890 and save that. I then did a factory reset for my phone. Everything works great now.
I think when you have a GSM service they use the + symbol
I had this same problem. When I got my phone the text messaging was working just fine. Couple days later no one was getting my text. So I went down to the store and they did everything they could do and I finally figured out it was the +1 in the numbers.
I switched over from a G1 on T-Mobile, so GSM can use +1 but it seems Verizon or CDMA has a problem with it.
I went through all my contacts, got rid of the +1. Yet when I'd send a message through the default sms app the moment they replied back it would automatically add the +1 again. So the only solution I found was that I had to use a different SMS app. I went with Handcent.
Im more concerned why you have the country code in your contacts list anyway? Ever since I had my first phone years ago manuals said not to put the country code in your contacts list for domestic contacts. Ive never had a problem.

When traveling internationally, it's a royal PIA when your US & Canada contact records don't include the country code and you're trying to place a call to north america... When I go overseas, I use an unlocked GSM android phone, and I would like to load my US contacts via Google in a usable format (10 digit numbers aren't usable from abroad).
This is a Verizon-Samsung bug - removing the country code from all US contact records is a work-around (not a fix!). My previous Verizon phones (mostly old Windows mobile handsets) had no trouble sending texts to US mobiles using the international standard country code prefix.
I just loaded up the leaked froyo modem, kernel and rom (EB01, EB16 & superclean 2.6 voodoo respectively), and unfortunately I see this issue persists...
Can anyone tell me if any of the verizon Android handsets from HTC or motorola share this flaw?
Thanks!

Is it only me who's getting country code issue with GB?

Let's start with some backgrounds. I install GB and rooted with r2beta0's method. I live in HK so the country code would be +852 and I've been saving my contacts without country code.
Now the thing is that when I receive a text from my frd, the system fails to show the name of the sender (pretty sure it is not related to the application I use as both stock and GO SMS have the same problem), since the sms id comes with the country code.
It is very strange coz I never had the same issue when I was on Froyo.
PS. I tried to call a frd with country code inserted, the system fails to recognize it too.
I have the same problem
@tapatalk
AFAIK the phone is not aware of the country code. It should look for the last part of the phone number and decide who's got that number.
One case when this happens is when you have the same number for a different contact. One common case is the contact is duplicated in your directory (like one on the phone and the other on the sim card).
On way to check the duplication is to dial the number manually and see if the name appears when you click on dial.
Good luck

I had never encountered such problem when i was on froyo so my guess is firmware or settings causing it.

Try the number like you see it in your directory? like an exact copy. I am not sure how you can fix this though.
You could try adding a new number to the phone as a test so you know it has not been duplicated. After that do the same thing and try and dial the number. If that fails then I would think the issue would be the phonebook.
The phonebook should be a db on the phone. I just had a quick look on google and the file appears to be here:
Code:
/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db
Maybe ther'e a permission issue? Sorry I am a noob as well on Android and that's all I can think of.
Good luck and let us know how you go. I am still stuck in trying to root my MS2 to put GB on it
K.
I use the very same phonebook which is synchronized to my google acc and with this same set of contacts I encountered the issue in GB but not in Froyo. That's why I said I guess it would be sw problem. Anyway good luck on getting GB. Who knows if you will have the same issue too LOL

I live in the UK and I'm having a similar problem. If a number has the country code in it it is recognised as a contact in texts, but if it just has a 0 it is the reverse.
This is a major flaw for me which is annoying because I really like everything else about the ROM.
Does anyone have a clue how to fix this?
