I have heard already of this android bug from the Google nexus one forum but now it happened to me too. I had maybe 6 sms threads in the stock android sms application. I sent a question via sms to one person and it appears in the right thread. I get an sms back from another person answering the question. The second person who answered is one of the 6 threads actually in my sms application. This is really a serious problem....
Google has a serious problem to fix. I can't imagine if I sent a text to the wrong person. This is why I won't touch the stock messaging app. Handcent all the way.

Don't feel so safe in the google forum thread people with chompSMS and Handcent could reproduce the same problem. So it's much deeper in the android system.

strange, this happened to me once and i text a lot (at least 3k a month). does anyone know if this is unique to the n1 or happens on all androids?
I ran into this too. It even appeared like i sent it to the proper recipient. I got a lot of wtf?'s later in the night. Did a power cycle to fix it and everything has been cool since I've updated.
My G1 used to do this also, I was starting to think I was alone on this one.
Im not saying the problem doesnt exist, or putting you guys down at all etc, but in my 3k texts a month ive never seen this yet. I guess the closest ive come is trying to quick press a thread added with rotating the screen at the same time = possibly click on wrong thread, and if in landscape you dont see the previous text.
I don't text too much, but I have noticed sometimes the conversation drops off after I send something, or at least I thought I was sending something.
i've never experienced this issue yet either, and i've used handcent since day one just because of this. but i cant imagine the trouble i would have if some of my texts went to the wrong person. seriously.
its possible i'll never know if someone got the wrong text and just never told me...

I never rotate my phone to landscape while texting, so I can exclude this theory. I also realized if you want to copy paste something into a sms it always jumped back to the wrong thread....not satisfied....I text my coworkers and friends and absolutely don't want a mix up of recipients.
This happened to me friend's nexus one today. He was running CM RC1
this also happened to a friend of mine with galaxy s.
This is disastrous

It is. I think a lot of people are not aware of this problem. I you only text things like "how are you" you would probably not even realize that you get the answer from the wrong person. If it is delicate some wrong recipient would probably ignore the message instead of complaining. So you never know if it by accident went to the wrong person...
Note to self: be careful what you text until this gets fixed.
people with the original droid also had this problem occur on their phones. its gotta be something with android OS...but what could it be that google hasnt found at this point.
I find that if I text something, then go back to the main message list and try to open another conversation before it has finished "refreshing" it will open a random thread instead of the one I intended to. As far as I know I have not sent a text to a wrong contact. To give you an idea of my usage I have used 2841 messages and I have 10 days left in my billing cycle.
I don't text enough to notice a problem like this, but I'm guessing Google Voice is immune?
Thankfully this bug hasn't happened to me yet (that I know of). Someone hand me the biggest piece of wood you can find (keep your wood jokes to yourself ) so I can knock on it.
Hi guys! Fahrbot Mobile would like to invite Desire users to participate in our open beta of Balanced, an app that uses USSD commands to obtain useful info like account balance, number of free sms, minutes and traffic remaining.
It then silently parses the replies into beautiful minimalistic text widgets. We need beta testers on phones we dont have at the office, so please come and check out the thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1006487
awesome!!!!!!!!!!
Im glad you like it! We will have some very unique functionality after the RC in the commercial version.
Hello. After the update some days ago I can't add a properly working widget to the desktop. Just have the caption and nothing more. Before the update everything was ok. Is there any detailed instruction how to use Balanced now?
You might have to add the widgets again.
As for detailed instructions, we have decided not to include them as people never read them anyway.
What exactly do you need help with?
ftgg99, I sent a pm with screenshots to explain.
Thanks, ill look into it - but its a strange error that probably has something to do with your setup, because my own Desire HD is running the app perfectly.
I am on cm6 though...
I also use Desire HD with stock firmware but rooted. My friend has the same issue and also and Desire HD with stock firmware but not rooted.
Hi, could you please send me a logcat of the error? Please follow these instructions:
What you need to do is:
1. Download aLogcat from the market
2. Run aLogcat
3. Reproduce your error in Balanced
5. Go into aLogcat and pause
6. Use the share menu to send the resulting text either to [email protected] or via PM here at XDA
Thanks!
I dii it. Sent the log from zel***@gmail.com
New update - beta extended!
Beta has been extended again, please send us some useful logs and suggestions on improving the app!
i dont know why, but it keeps draining my credit by sending hundreds of message to the person i personally do with the same content. the only way to stop it is by uninstalling it. i set it to check my balance after every outgoing phone call and message, and also every time i tap the widget. but the concept and interface is superb, would like to see this problem solved
Mate, the app doesnt send anything. USSD requests dont cost you money. Your problem is something else entirely.
Or youre a troll/ the competition...

oh believe me, im not a troll, and i can't code for ****. i searched around too, and it looks like i'm the only one having this problem. anyway, maybe you're right, the problem is something else entirely but the reason I suspected the application was the problem is because the draining started when i set the widget up and ended when i uninstalled the application. i apologize if i tainted the image of your app in any way.
Dont worry, i wasnt offended, just tired of fighting an uphill battle.
Imagine getting hundreds of crash logs from people with no root trying to use Root Call Blocker. Then they send angry emails. Finally they leave 1 star reviews.
Anyway, this should cheer you up:
Just thought I'd throw this out there for anyone who's not getting notifications for their carrier voicemail. This fix worked for me and was a little hard to find. It should work for all CDMA phones (the string is not present, nor is a similar string on my T-Mobile SGS3). I take no credit for the actual fix. Requires root (does that even need to be said?).
Possible fix:
There could be a string missing in a settings file, /data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs/com.android.phone_preferences.xml
<string name="vm_number_key_cdma">##########</string>
Click to expand...

Where ########## is your 10 digit phone number.
If you just edit that file (make a back up if you want to be safe) and add the line above somewhere between the <map> </map> XML tags, replacing the ########## with your phone number (no dashes or parentheses), then reboot, you should be getting notifications again.
Check out the source for more info.

The file doesn't appear for me even if I leave a voicemail

Scratch that. I find the file but a reboot doesn't get the voice mail icon to come back. If I go into the file again it says there is a voice but no notification pops up.

Has anyone figured out this issue yet? I tried the suggested fix above but it doesn't work for me either. I'm running 4.2.2 Carbon ROM on a Samsung Fascinate and do not get any notifications when I have voicemails. I've searched around this forum and google as well and there isn't too much information on this issue. Some say it's a known issue in all recent 4.2.2 ROMs, some say it's in all AOSP-based ROMs, etc... Anyone out there know of a fix?

I have had the issue for as long as I can remember it seems, no matter the rom. Its to the point I expect it and/or just have learned to accept it. I don't get that many lately for it to be a huge huge deal besides the whole job hunting process lol Tried prolly most things things have popped up over time but no solid fixes. With messing around I can get it to pop up a few times and it is always delayed or random when it does and it will also stick in the status bar for a bit even after clearing any unread till it randomly goes away or I clear the responsible/corresponding system apk's data. and that be the most I ever see of it, a downfall i guess & either you deal with it or your don't I suppose. Your not alone brotha lol
Voicemail fixed in Gee-Wiz rom

Voicemail indicator worked in 4.1.x, but broke in 4.2.x. there is only one ROM - GEE-WIZ, where the dev actually figured out what was wrong and fixed it. It is now my daily driver, although I miss some of the AOKP features. None of the other developers have picked up the fix and implemented it in their ROMs. The voice mail indicator problem has to do with the code looking for a SIM card and not finding it. Eveyone else seems content with using google voice as a work around, I don't find that a good solution, except when I want a few laughs from bad transcriptions.
I just wanted to say that this actually sort of got notifications working for me again. I'm using a Droid Incredible 2 running PAC 4.2.2, and ever since upgrading to it, I would not receive voicemail notifications.
I made the appropriate change to the file, rebooted, left a voicemail in my box, rebooted again, and I had a notification saying that there was a message waiting!
The reason I say "sort of working" is because I didn't receive the notification while waiting directly after leaving the message. Normally, I'll receive a new voicemail notification within a minute of one being left. But, I suppose this is better than nothing.
If any new developments or fixes are found, please update this thread!
Its still broke. Voicemail notification has always come up after a reboot but that is of no use. This is not an improvement.
Don't know what happened, but yesterday I flaseh new ROM and made a full reset, then I copied back my custom notification sounds under "Internal Memory\Notifications" folder (see attachment 1). Then in "Settings > Audio" I chose NOTIF_PIXIEDUST as default notification sound (see attachment 2).
After a few minutes I received a Facebook Messenger message and it did not ring, so I went in FB Messenger audio settings and I confirmed that the "Default Ringtone" was selected, and indeed it was and it was also recognising that the default notification sound is NOTIF_PIXIEDUST (see attachment 3), yet when selecting this option no sound is made (for example I chose another sound and it rang, then selected back default and no sound).
The weird thing is that in the list of FB Messenger available notification sounds the NOTIF_PIXIEDUST is not available, as it is for example for all other apps, Facebook included (see attachment 4).
And again, 42 views but no one willing to give a try and let me know if this is a common problem a d there's a fix.
Sometimes I don't understand this forum, even after many years...
43 views now. Has it occurred to you that no one else has the same problem, and/or no one knows how to fix your problem?
This is xda, not Everyone Knows Everything And Must Help Me Now.
If people could help, they would. I can't, because I've never been on facebook. It is the spawn of Satan.

And since u have no answer why u wasting ur time pissing me off with ur nonsense talking?
Because I can, you handsome devil you.
According to your outstanding logic, you prefer 42+ viewers to post here saying they can't help then.
Your time is precious, far be it for me to waste. I cannot tell you how much I yearn for your problem to be solved. I will not sleep until it's done.
Keep me informed?
First of all I apologive if I choose a wrong topic.
I think somebody hacked my leeco le pro 3 and I explain why
An unknown number called me with voice call on whatsapp and when i picked up nobody answered, but i heard a sound in backgroung of typing to a keyboard.
About 40 minutes later when i was closing all the app opened in backgroung i heard like somebody was chewing crisps or something crouncy and like a tv on in backgroung.
I was scared, how is that possible.
I wiped everything I could with TWRP incluse system and apps.
So if it safe if I install another ROM ?
I changed my mail password and everything but can anyone explain?
I don't think my phone was rooted because I was on Omni Rom, latest update.
Please Reply I'm in panic.
Edit the phone numer which called me is +393472513454
Should i go to report the fact to the police ?
It is likely that the caller's phone has a malware that makes random calls, or some other cause causes phone calls from that phone. In other words I think your phone is ok! Cheers!

I'd wipe just to be sure. Sounds very creepy to me.
