Question / Problem shwoing correct ID - Calls and Messages - General Questions and Answers

Since now I have been very happy with WM and especially HTC. But now I discovered, my contact not showing correct on incoming Messages or calls.
What I mean in detail is, that my Numbers are saved to the Phone only by using a Number like: +49179123456.
My Problem is, that now my incoming Messages from saved contacts do not show the Name, because in this case the message is obviously sent by 0170123456. The only way, for now, is to save contacts twice. I already searched the forum and found similar Threads, but none of them could help.
It`s not a huge problem but a little annoying and i would be very thankful if somebody could point me in the right direction.
Greetings from a great Fan of XDA!!

Limit SMS History Display?

I've tried searching but I can't find an answer to this for the HD2.
Is there a way of limiting the number of messages displayed in an SMS conversation's history? I'm having to wait a good 10 seconds for all the past texts of some contacts to load before I can start to type, which is obviously extremely annoying. Limiting the amount it displays to 20 or so would be absolutely fine.
Anyone have any ideas?
This is a good idea, at the moment I am trying to keep on top of my messages by deleting older ones. I find it very strange that there is such a huge delay when there are loads of messages in a conversation. Whats the 1ghz processor doing? Having a tea break?
Oh ? I thought I was the only one who suffured of the loading speed in the SMS history.
On my last and beloved Cruise, the history was splitting in a few pages.
Someone know how to make it the same way ?
A solution for this would be nice!
Yes ! Perhaps we should try to post it in general XDA forum ?
Would like this also, now I'm using the old message view again (not threaded) because the other one is way to slow
I need this too...
Please, find a way to split threaded sms like in old TF3D!!!!
I hope HTC knows about this problem and will release a fix! Just write HTC about it...the more the merrier!
correct! Please report it to HTC so that they will fix this.
For the moment you can use this "workaround":
Open the inbox for this contact and try immadiately to hit the "send" button and answer the question "...really want to send an empty message.." witn "no"....that's it.
the keyboard is directly available and you can answer
i wonder if its possibly something to do with the small thumbnail images on every message thats slowing it down????? maybe removing these may make a difference, anybody know how to do that though?? lol
I've tried it and that has no effect on the speed

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
booo! lol i`v reduced the text size to smallest and that seems to have helped a bit, i havent got many messages right now i`l know soon if it really makes an impact when i dont delete my messages.
forget that comment above dont think it makes a blind bit of difference lol

Just click
All Messages > Menu > Settings > Traditional Mode
The traditional mode separate the sent messages and the received messages.
But if one has lot of messages from the same contact, this will still be slow.
Solution
My solution for this problem is that once a day a sync with windows my phone and archive the old messages there or save old messages with jeyo mobile companion, thus leaving in the phone a minimum amount of messages. until HTC solves the problem this works for me
I'm archiving old messages on MS MyPhone too for the time being. An acceptable workaround for me for the time being.

SMS Messages Are Unsorted In Conversation

Hi guys, I have tried looking for an answer to this question on google and on xda, but cant seem to find one. Maybe you know or have seen the answer before and can help me!
I just recently put a new rom on my phone and then used Microsoft Myphone to recover my contacts/messages/ calendar etc. It worked, except it has jumbled all the sms/text messages. The messages are not sorted within each contact by date and time received. The messages are displayed in some random way. Is there anyway to sort the messages within a conversation so that everything is sorted by time received/sent?
I really need an answer since I frequently have to go back and check messages for work and other details and it would be so much easier to find those needed messages if the conversations were sorted!
Thanks!

SMS composing "TO" field problem

Hello,
maybe somebody could help me and tell how to change the way, how contacts are displayed, when trying to write sms.
It is driving me nuts, because I hate that WM 6.5 is showing only one contact at lower end of sms and not like it used to do in WM 5 - contact list.
See attached picture to understand what I mean.
I would be very grateful if somebody could tell me how to get old style of contacts to show up... as I said - it is driving me nuts!
P.S. Now I am using TAEL ROM, but I have tried several others and all except one were the same.

SMS issue on Adroid 2.1

I've just upgraded from a Hero to a Desire, I'm loving the Desire but have one very very annoying issue.
Whenever I receive an automated text, for instance from T-Mobile or Ocado the phone is assigning the sender as being someone from my contact list... has anyone else experienced this?
I've seen this issue on my N1. It affects not only automated messages as you said, but also those from other people.
i.e. Person A messages me, message placed in Person B's thread, Reply to message, Sent to Person B, or even Person C!!
The issue seems to be with the messaging app on 2.1, and I know that google is aware that it's faulty. Another thing to watch out for is the random deletion of all messages from your inbox. It doesn't happen to everyone, but if you are having the other bug, you might want to watch out, as they do seem to be related. btw, this is unrelated to the automatic clearing of inbox option in the messages setting.

Sorry I can't provide any useful help, but I just thought I'd let you know you aren't alone. It's affecting N1 and Droid owners too.
Thanks for the response, I suspected it wasn't device specific and you've just comfirmed that, so that's helpful to know!
Cheers
i have the same problem, just from another angel. if i select an contact and then press send sms, 60% of the times, it selects a totally diffrent contact as reciever.
also when i get a sms about a missed call, the sender is a randome contact from ny contactlist.
is there any threads about solving this bug?
The only other thread I can find on this site vaguely related is this one, although it's mostly about the sms random deleting.

There is an issue posted with Google, as I mentioned above
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5669
I think people are (for the moment anyway) lumping these problems all under the same broad umbrella of faulty messaging.
If either/both of you can upload your bug report onto that thread, it will help google to work out what the problem actually is. Instructions for doing that are on the google thread.
OK so some progress on this, I spotted this thread here:
"http_://androidforums.com/htc-desire/61560-sms-incorrect-contacts-issue.html"
I'm not sure if it's isolated to the Desire, but HTC are aware... it's linked to Facebook sync of contacts.

does android really have a bug causing texts to be sent to the wrong contacts?

i heard somewhere and cant remember where that android can send picture and text messages to the wrong contacts and that the sender will only see the issue when they go to thier sent iteams box and see that the message was sent to the wrong or multiple people. is this true?
Partially.. There was a bug which happened to a very small number of people which changed the person who you were sending the message to. It only occured when you quickly opened up the Messaging app and clicked on a contact when all the elements haven't fully loaded.
If you simply look at the "Send Message To:" text box you could prevent this problem.
And, Google has stated they're working on a fix and it should be released soon. It'll be up to the networks and manufacturers to integrate them (Samsung -> TouchWiz) into their ROMs.
There are many reputable sites talking about this very issues. The fact that google has sent out information saying they are addressing the issues lets you know it is one. Not sure how many peopel it affects. The post above mine gives a great explanation.
My evo does this all the time, to some extent. It doesnt SEND to the wrong person, but when I click a person's thread in the messaging app, sometimes it wont go to that person's thread, and go to someone completely random. So if I dont look to make sure im texting the person I want to, it could go to someone else.
