I'm having a very strange problem with sending text messages to certain people on my Hero. I noticed people not getting my messages and just thought that maybe they weren't being sent at all.. Until I decided to look at the "details" of some of my sent messages. Instead of the name or number that I entered, it keeps sending certain text messages to this address "[email protected]". Now, I receive alerts from Bank of America from this address occasionally, but it is not in my address book at all, and even when I delete messages that I receive from them I still have this problem.
Then of course, since that is not a valid phone number or e-mail address, I get a delivery failure messages every time I send a text to that address. Anyone have any ideas why it keeps sending messages like this?? I have hard reset, and switched Heros a couple of times, and it still does this. I've tried using Handcent, still no luck. With Handcent, after I send certain people a text message, the title of the conversation is even the Bank of America address, and not the person's name!
Any help would be appreciated, this is driving me crazy!

oh yuck... wipe your phone dude... then update your PRL under settings (it's in there somewhere) and don't install any online banking apps untill that is fixed... that definately sounds like a bug
You may want to check this thread to see if this is what's happening. I think I'm getting something similar on my Droid Eris after receiving a text from an email client.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1233
Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that there is a fix beyond hard resetting phone
And even more unfortunately, it looks like this issue goes back over a year with no resolution!!! Hope this isn't what I have to look forward to with an 'open source' operating system...
this is happening to me as well. I don't have any banking apps installed but I do get an SMS from my bank telling me when my paycheck has been deposited. ALot of my messages come in to this thread and there have been times that I thought I was responding to a person who had just messaged me who did not get my text. If I were to start from 'people' and find a contact and send a message from there, it will work.
btw, this is from handcent.
Thanks for the link, I had searched everywhere, I thought, without any luck. Just from reading the first post, that is exactly what happens to me. I'm gonna go finish all of the posts about it, thanks again!
Well, as you'll find out from the thread, the only real way to get your text messaging working properly again is to hard reset the phone. Bummer, I know.
You may try what I did, though, and use an app called MyBackup Pro (free 30-day trial) to backup some of your important items before you do the reset.
I backed up my settings/home/bookmarks and then separately my contacts. I didn't back up my apps, but chose to redownload them from the Market since they are listed in My Downloads. Then as soon as I reset my phone, I first re-installed as many of my apps as possible (including MyBackup of course), and THEN restored my settings and contacts.
I still had to reset the settings on some programs, but it definitely saved a bit of time.
And this may be random, but I experienced an issue after resetting where my phone would not dial out to anyone. Turns out, Verizon had to reset something on their end that got screwed up. You have to get to level 2 tech support to fix this.
Hope this helps...
I am having the same issues. Will try a hard reset and see if that helps. I have also disabled any texting services from B of A or Fbook or Twitter. Hopefully that will fix it. Thanks for the thread.

you have too many messages and need to delete them. This happened to me and slowed down my phone. I deleted them and it ran fine and I got no message after that. Also clear the browser cache
the problem is when i try to delete threads, it freezes again

I had 400 messages and it took me a good 5 minutes to delete them all... I probably clicked the wait button a good 5 to 10 times.
thanks, i'll try that but i got way more messages then 400 lol

I had 600 when I noticed the slow down... it took awhile to delete those since then I delete at about 400 or so
FWIW, it seems there might be a problem with the push on outgoing messages tonight
I am having a problem that when I get new SMS, it uses the "From" in the list of messages as an old (and deleted) thread all the time. I also can't reply to those SMS, but have to Compose a new message to respond. The only SMS that seems to work correctly are ones that I had received from contacts before I received the one SMS that it keeps using as the "From". So, in case it wasn't clear, all my new SMS show as coming from the same address (which happens to be an email address) and I can't reply to them. I'm sure a hard reset would fix this, but I don't want to have to go through reloading everything to just fix this one thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I am a little confused on what is happening. You are saying you are receiving a ton of messages from an email address? or that your sending sms from an email address?

Any new SMS I receive from a contact show up in the message list (main screen where the "New Message" option shows as well as your messages threads) as coming from this one specific email address I received a message from about a week ago. If I open up that message thread, it shows the SMS as coming from the correct person but if I try and reply to it, it gives me an error saying "Your message has no valid recipients", so I have compose a new SMS from the main screen and put the address in to be able to respond. Some how it is keeping that one address and assigning any new SMS to that name in the thread list as well as not using the right address for replying. It's really strange and it's bugging the heck out of me!

Call Cust service and tell them you need Tier 2 support for Smart/Blackberry. They can fix your texting issues

I am having the same problem. When I send a new sms or recieve one, the reply always goes to the first entry in my address book, which happens to be a land line, and I then have to create a new message to reply. I tried deleting all the old messages, and now all the messages have this same problem.
Is there any way to fix this without having to do a hard reset?
I had to get a new SIM card from T-Mobile to resolve my messaging problems. Guess it was a good time since I had the same one for 8 years now.
I had to get a new SIM card when I bought my G1, mine was only 5 years old ;-)
So that shouldnt be the issue for me.
I seem to have a weird problem with the Messages app from HTC. Searched all over the internet and XDA and nobody else seems to have reported the issue.
The issue is, if I go into the Messages app, the list shows all contacts names fine. But for some contacts, if I click into them, it shows the message history, but on top where it's supposed to show the name, instead shows their phone number, minus any separators, and a ">" symbol at the end.
Say, for example, a contact in the Messages app is John Doe. I see John Doe in the messages list, then when I click into it, instead of name it goes to, say, 15555555555>, and sometimes the whole thing is just black.
On the bottom where I write reply, the number shows up fine exactly as it's formatted in the actual contact info.
But if I try to reply there, when I click "Send", the keyboard disappears, but the message never gets sent, and this happens no matter how many times I try to reply or type the message again. As long as it's a reply, it doesn't work. But starting a new message to the same contact works just fine, but it's annoying to have to type the whole message, then copy and paste, and start a new message to the contact just to reply.
And it wouldn't be inconsistent formats either. Some numbers I have in both Google and Phone, I can delete all phone numbers except the Google one in the problem contact and issue persists. Some contacts have the number laid out the same way in (xxx) xxx-xxxx as the problem contact, and still works. I can change the problem contacts' phone number format to xxxxxxxxxx or 1xxxxxxxxxx and neither fixes anything.
I've tried pulling the battery, turning off fast boot and pulling battery, restarting, all the same result.
And this ONLY happens with the stock Messages app, all the other SMS apps I downloaded off the Market works just fine.
Any help would be appreciated, it's starting to drive me nuts.
Thanks!
I have noticed something odd about the stock messaging as well. In the text box where you type, some contacts display a phone number in the top of the box, while some do not. I don't know what causes it. I thought it was the way that HTC Sense sync'd to FB, but that didn't change anything.

I think it may have something to do with the Select Contact Name option when you edit a contact. Say I have a two phone numbers and an email address for Bob. Once I set "Bob" as the contact name for his entry, that it what appears when I start composing messages to him.
I hope this helps.

I can confirm the issue, so at least you're not the only one. But in my case it went away on its own sometime between temp rooting and unsuccessful over clocking
I posted this a week or so, I don't know if it helped the last person. but I had this EXACT problem and it was unbelievably frustrating when I first got this and after a few days of searching and banging my head against the wall, I found something that worked. This problem arised when I had double contacts from my messaging and I tried to rectify it. Eventually I got it all to work fine.
This is how you solve it (or how I solved mine).
1: Sync everything to Google. Edit the contact list in google (use the automatic duplicate deletion), delete useless contacts etc.
2. Remove contacts from EVERYWHERE. Sim card, phone, uncheck google sync. Your phone should then be completely empty for contacts.
3. Re-sync with google contacts. if you want you can copy it back to the SIM and you shouldn't get doubles. I think I just left it with google only but the end result is I don't have 9 different "danny's" show up when I go to compose new message because I know three of them.
This issue is bugging me too...
After experimenting today I have figured out why it is happening; any contact I have with an email address within the contact details I get the name followed by the mobile number within the HTC stock message app... Any contacts without an email address are fine.
I have experimented by removing an email address from the contact and straight away the said contact will display correctly in the HTC message app.
Unfortunately I have not yet figured out how to have contacts with phone numbers and email addresses display correctly. Real shame as loving my new Sensation... a minor niggle I guess
Tgis has happened to my phone once, but rectified itself with a soft-reset. It hasn't happened again since then. Not much help here, but its definitely not an isolated incident.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Yes, This happened with me too.... But after i synchronised my accounts with my HTC and google contacts.... it was all sorted out...i was just thinking of hard reset.... but i was saved Try it once...
Have any of you heard of this?
Yesterday my phone decides it's NOT going to send SMS through the stock messaging app. I don't get an error, it appears as though it sends, but my recipient never receives it.....most of the time. Sometimes they go thru, sometimes they don't. It seems to mostly NOT go thru.
If the SMS does NOT go through, I can never see it in Google Voice.
If I use the Google Voice SMS app on my phone, recipient receives 100% of their SMS, same with Web interface.
If I disable my Google Voice account via the web and sign out via my phone, my recipient receives 100% of their SMS using the stock app.
I have all the settings nailed. Google Voice is set to sync, background data enabled, etc.... It was, has been working flawlessly up until yesterday with nothing on the phone changing.
I have wiped, reflashed, tried different ROMs, etc....
Today I called Sprint, they re-provisioned things, then basically said since it's a third party app they can't help. I want to beat my head against a wall here.
Anyone have any idea of what the problem could be?
I can't offer any help but I can tell you I saw the exact same problem all day on the 16th and 17th. I've since switched the Google Voice app to use it's own notifications and turned off the text notifications. For the time being, I'm not even using the stock messaging app.
I remember Sprint having an SMS problem a few months ago one afternoon, but it wasn't specific to GV. Maybe something in their GV integration system is a little wacky right now. People said they got about half of the messages I was sending before I switched to the GV app full time.
Good to know I'm not the only one. Looks like a couple of other people have the same problem over in the Google help forums. I de-integrated my account for almost two days, I'm getting ready to re-integrate it now, we shall see what happens. The support for these phones is god awful. If this doesn't resolve it I'm driving to the nearest corporate store and returning it through their window.
LOL! I'm hoping it doesn't come to that, but if you do decide to "return" it, you may want to attach a brick or something. This phone feels way to light to do any damage without a little extra help.

Here's a little update. Not really a good one, but whatever...
All of the text messages I had tried to send though the stock messaging app must have made it to Sprint at least because they all just dumped en mass upon their intended recipients. I got a pile of very confused responses.
Maybe the issue has been resolved. I'll switch my settings back and experiment a little.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
That didn't happen to me, but it does appear that my texts are going through. There's one person who says she never gets some, but I can see they're sycning to GV now, where they weren't before. Everyone else is getting my texts too. I have no idea what happened but I'm a little at ease knowing someone else had the problem. I hope it never happens again, I rely on SMS for my business.
This has happened twice now. The first time I thought it was a fluke, now a second time in two days I am getting concerned. I am using Google Messenger for SMS/MMS. The problem is that somebody sends me a text message and I reply to their message. My reply goes to a completely different person and the original sender never receives my reply. These are not group messages, just a single SMS.
Anybody else having this issue? I will have to switch back to my Nexus 6 if this keeps happening.
Known bug. Use Hangouts for SMS until it's fixed.
I got a text from amazon that my packaged was shipped at it showed coming from my brother. I too am using messenger. I don't like hangouts...
Yep same here, it's broken. I would say use Textra for a similar feel to messenger. Hangouts is broken too, but in a different way. It will send photos sideways if you use the paper clip in a message thread. If you use the share function in gallery it will send it fine.
I have been using Google Messenger since it came out on two other devices and have never experienced this issue until using it on the S6. I have found if I clear the app data for Messenger messages show up from the correct sender temporarily. WTF?
I came here to post something similar. I set up my dad's S6 the other day, and today he told me that if he goes into the Contacts app, selects a contact, and hits the text icon, it picks the wrong contact to send to. I tried this on numerous contacts, and it happens on all of them. If he adds them manually to a message through the Messenger app, this doesn't happen. Bizarre bug. Any ideas?
Happened again yesterday. A coworker sent me a text and it showed up from a completely different person. Guess I have to back to hangouts for now ugh...
Recurring Problem
I highly doubt the problem will be fixed soon. This bug has been blatant in all Samsung products I have had since 2007; however, it happens somewhat seldom and slightly random and the only idea I have for reproduction is:
Receive a message from person A
Read message from person A
Receive message from person B.
Open message from person B while still in the thread with person A's SMS.
reply to person B.
Watch as person A reads your reply to person B and person B never gets anything.
I'm not sure if this always reproduces it, but when I saw this happen AGAIN with my new S6 I was instantly reminded of my past with Samsung products - even prior to Android.
Same Issue--- Almost 2018 Now
I use a fully updated LG RIsio (low grade phone I know), and and the latest version of FB Messenger app for SMS. Several times in the past few months I have constructed a text for a recipient, with the intended recipients name on display as a write, hit send, and suddenly the completed text is sent to a seemingly random contact in my phone, and the deed is done.
This is insane. How do I stop this. I am gripped with the fear of something incriminating going to a family member or a coworker or manager. Why am I not hearing more about this in 2017? Most of the posts on it are from 2010. Did it never get fixed? Did it come back?
Please advise. This is the kind of oversight that can potentially ruin lives and merit a class action lawsuit.
Good afternoon everyone,
This is probably going to be a dumb question but here goes.
I am always sending text messages to my personal email address from my phone as either an SMS or sometimes as an MMS message as reminders for all sorts of things.
For instance, If I find an article of any kind that I want to read later I will copy the web address and send a text to my email address from the "Messages app" on my phone.
I have been doing this for years and have never ever had any issues up until about two weeks ago. Now sporadically and even sometimes all the time I will send a text to my email and immediately I get a separate text back saying the following
"(Undelivered Mail Returned To Sender) This is the mail system at host bbtpnj33wzwvetm-c-nk-x-00-vmg-00.localdomain.
I"
I can not for the life of me figure out what I keep getting these types of responses.
Has anyone ever encountered something like this and/or have any clue what the problem might be and how to fix it?
Currently, I am having this issue using my Note20 Ultra if that means anything.
Thank you so much in advance for any help!
