Hi,
Everytime I get a new number from the recent calls window it save the number as a business number.
How do I change it so that it will save as a mobile number by default ?
Im sure there must be some sort of registry tweek in outlook for that
Thanks
Hi
Is it possible to import numbers from my contacts when i write sms?
you mean if you click on sender it let you pick the contact
you want to sms
or if you tab and hold a contact it give you the option to sms him or her ?
I think what he meant to say is that he wants to insert a contact number to the sms text.

I've come across an burdening issue sending a txt with multiple recipients. Though the grouped chat style text messaging is an incredible advantage, there are some cons and i'm wondering if they can be fixed somehow.
Because of the chat style text messaging, your first outgoing message gets coped to your inbox. Is there any way for the first outgoing message to NOT be copied to your inbox?
This poses an issue for when you are sening a mass/group text message. For example, if i send out "Happy New Year" to 50 people in one text, i get 50 outgoing copies in my inbox.
Suggestions?
i would like to be able to select multiple recipiants while in contacts like the old 8525 instead of having to add each one manually, anyone have a fix for that?

use an app called group sms.
if you go to your sent items folder for sms and delete that message, it will remove it from all the recipients.. easiest fix i found
Hi ,
I have been looking for an application that is able to act just like the default CallerID but is going to be able to match the incoming call from an external source ( Handbase , xls , csv etc )
I do not need it to be realtime or replacing the default CallerID but rather a seperate popup bubble or just a Log File
The Reason :
I have some thousands of contacts thus impossible to sync with address book
so i curry them in a separate Database
If i receive a call that is not listed as contact i have to search it through the other database and see if is someone i know ( eg client ) and call back or inore
Thanks in advance
Is there such a thing as Contact or SMS metadata in Android? If so, how do I clear it?
I jumped through some hoops importing some contacts from my old WM phone and some of them didn't import correctly. The problem only appears when I try to send the contact an SMS message - somehow, someway, only in the Messaging app, the contacts mobile number starts with a comma (e.g. ",314-555-1234")
I found an app that will backup SMS messages to an XML file and have cleaned that up. I deleted all messages from the contact. I've even deleted the contact both on the phone and my gmail contacts.
With that done I restore the SMS messages and *BOOM* it shows up again with the leading comma. If you watch fast enough, it will even flash my contacts name before it switches to just displaying the number because there's no contact for it. So the question is - where the heck is it getting that leading comma from and how do I get rid of it?
i need an answer to this also
I have the same problem after I imported data from WM. I can send new SMS but not reply becouse there is a comma before some phone numbers.
I tried export SMS to .xml or .txt - there wasn't any comma before phone numbers. After that I deleted all contacts and SMS in my phone and restarted it. I edited .xml - deleted all names, there were only phones numbers left. After I imported this .xml. To my surprise I could see also Contacts names with SMS number!! How can the SMS program now the names?? Is there any Contact cache?
After I restored the main Contacts the comma is back :-(
(My phone - LG Optimus black, An. 2.2.2)
I found the solution
I have to delete file "mmssms.db" and restart phone.
-run Terminal Emulator on phone (superuser must be installed):
su
rm /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
--restart phone and import SMS -> comma is gone

Thank you! This fixed a problem where [email protected] was being associated to contacts in SMS and making replies fail. I deleted the mmssms.db file on my Samsung Epic Touch and the problem is gone.
Note that the vm.vonage.com problem occurs when you have Vonage set to send you text messages when you receive a voicemail. If one of your gmail/phone contacts leaves you a voicemail at Vonage and you then receive the text message from Vonage with their number prepending @vm.vonage.com, you will no longer be able to reply to text messages from that contact.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! This has been one of the bane's of my existence for almost a year now! I had the same problem with all the [email protected] voicemail texts taking over my SMS. Got me in trouble with the wife I don't know how many times, when I thought I had texted her back. :crying:
By the way, don't know if this issue is the reason or not, but Vonage seems to have gone to where all voicemails come from a single number (don't remember what it is but it's one of the 5 digit numbers) and the text starts out with the number the call is from. So this shouldn't be an issue anymore with Vonage voicemails anyway.
Problems texting specific numbers - comma appears in front of number

It looks as though you may have solved the problem, & perhaps your solution could have helped me! However, I eventually solved it another way, so I thought I'd post for the benefit of others who may have the issue.
I had this problem with just one contact for about two years. When I received texts from her, I noticed that they showed up with a comma in front of the number. Hence, the number that I was trying to reply to was not valid. I had to manually type her # in every time. I edited the contact dozens of times from both my phone & Outlook, and even tried deleting & recreating it. I got a new phone today, and this one shows me more details than the old one. I was able to see that I had her mobile # set up twice. One number had a plus in front of it. As soon as I deleted the # with the extra plus, my problem went away. I think the issue was that I had her set up as a contact in multiple locations: Outlook & one of my two Gmail accounts. When it tried to merge the two, it kept them as two different numbers because the number formats were different...only it didn't show me that that's what it was doing! I'm guessing I didn't delete all of the occurrences of that contact when I deleted (probably just one, or one at a time), so when I recreated it & it tried to match them up again, the issue came back. Hope this helps!
